Rabbit IgG whole molecule.
This product is a revolutionary new immunocytochemical reagent. This unique antibody probe contains a molecular label which contains both the 1.4nm ultra-small gold particle and fluorescein, enabling both fluorescence and electron microscope observation of a sample stained in a single labelling procedure. This probe is smaller than a whole IgG molecule, does not aggregate, and fluorescence quenching due to the goold particle is negligible. Normal methologies may be used successfully with this product. Due to some quenching of fluorescence by the gold particle, slightly higher concentrations of antibody are recommended for incubations. A blocking agent of 5% non-fat dried milk has been found to reduce background in some cases: this should be used before incubation with probe (in standard wash/blocking steps), and additionally, the Fluorescein-ultra-small gold probe should be diluted in a solution also containing 5% non-fat dried milk before it is applied.
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab33110 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

October 1914. Montgomery, Alabama. "Willie Cheatham, Western Union messenger #1. Says he is 16 now; been messenger for 6 years. Late Sunday night, October 4th, I talked with him, still on duty, until 10 P.M.
'You bet I know every crooked house in town. Went to school with one of those girls when she was straight. Her mother died and she went bad. Some young girls were there too. I go out to Red Light some with messages and packages, and if I want to, I bust right in and sit down.'
Hard face."

Environmental pioneers
Environmental care has been a core value since the 70's. Since then, we've reduced the emission of air pollutants from our trucks by up to 90%. And decreased fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 40%.
We believe in sustainable transport solutions. And we're confident that our trucks, services and operations will lead the way there.
Protecting the environment is the biggest challenge we face. With new technologies, increased social momentum and industry collaboration, we can turn this challenge into our greatest achievement.
Director Environment and Innovation, Volvo Trucks
It's time to be bold
Global warming
Burning fossil fuels increases greenhouse gases and raises the Earth's temperature. Forecasts indicate the planet will be six degrees Celsius warmer by 2100.
Depleted natural resources
Most of the energy used today comes from non-renewable sources. So we need to find alternative sources.
Exhaust emissions
Air pollution causes major public health and environmental problems worldwide. Pollutants don't stop at national borders, so we need consistent legislation.
These are serious problems. So we're tackling them head on by focusing on energy efficiency and alternative fuels. It is a strategy that encompasses our entire business. And it shapes the decisions we make about the future.
Zone management
This technology matches the truck's behaviour to restrictions imposed by its location or the time of day. For example, a truck would perform night deliveries at reduced noise levels, or automatically switch to zero-emissions mode when entering a regulated zone.
How far off? Off-peak test is on-going in Stockholm
More fuels. More access.
Today we offer a select range of Liquid Natural Gas LNG-powered trucks. Much like tomorrow's fuel solutions, LNG is assessed against different criteria, like availability, costs, climate impact and energy efficiency. We know that in the future no single fuel will meet all these criteria, our trucks will be adapted for different fuels, like methane, HVO and DME. How far off? Our methane and HVO trucks are already on the road.
Producing close to zero emissions, electromobility dramatically reduces environmental impact. We're currently testing a 400-metre track at our facility in Hällered, as we're convinced there's a future way to supply electricity to long distance vehicles.
How far off? Testing is on going.
We're a part of the SuperTruck programme with the US Department of Energy and the National Energy and Technology Laboratory. The goal is to dramatically improve the freight-moving efficiency of future trucks, and to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30%.
How far off? Some implementation is ongoing.
Together we're stronger
Today, tomorrow and in the decades to come, we'll do more for the environment if we all work together.
We're convinced that innovations will provide at least some of the answers society is looking for. That's why we're working with research institutions and universities to develop technologies that increase fuel efficiency, and to develop and implement the use of alternative fuels in co-operation with the energy sector.

Lila and Hunter W. Henry Jr. Scholarship established
The Lamar University Foundation has announced the establishment of a new endowed scholarship for nursing majors. The Lila and Hunter W. Henry, Jr. Scholarship, honoring the nurses in the Cardiovascular Recovery Unit at St. David's South Austin Medical Center, will provide funds for students to further their studies in nursing. Elaine and Hunter "Ticket" Henry, who reside in Llano, established this scholarship to honor the nursing staff that provided excellent care to Ticket's father, Hunter Henry, Jr. during his final illness.
Hunter W. Henry, Jr., an alumnus of Mississippi State University, and past president of Dow, U.S.A., died inJune 2011. Lilalee Harlow Henry, a native of Port Arthur and an alumna of Southern Methodist University, died in January 2010.
The Henrys established five generous Lamar University scholarships honoring family members during their lifetime. The scholarships include the Marvin V. Harlow Scholarship in Engineering in memory of Lila Henry's father, the Thelma Harlow Scholarship in Nursing in memory of Lila's mother, the Martha and Haldane Vinson Memorial Scholarship in memory of Lila's aunt and uncle, the Robert H. Harlow Scholarship in Electrical Engineering in honor of Lila's brother and the Elaine Tatom and Hunter W. "Ticket" Henry Scholarship in honor of the Henry's son and daughter-in-law. Elaine is a 1971 Lamar graduate.
"The Hunter Henry Scholarship supports students who are actively involved in nursing-related activities like the Lamar University Texas Nursing Student Association (LUTNSA)," said Eileen Deges Curl, department chair for the JoAnne Gay Dishman Department of Nursing. "The scholarship promotes academic excellence by providing financial support for students to fully engage in their nursing studies."
For more information about establishing an endowed scholarship, contact the Lamar University Foundation at (409) 880-2117.

Design Boston 2011 wrapped up last week at the Boston Design Center and in my previous post I shared wisdom from Candice Olson. As promised, I wanted to share a little something from the other two Design Super Stars who also spoke; Juan Montoya and Martyn Lawrence Bullard. I will start with Juan Montoya. I can not believe I had actually never heard of him. I learned he is one of the most acclaimed Designers in the world and a true Icon. He shared images from a few of his recent projects as well as introduce his new furniture line for Century Furniture.
Based on his talk, he seems to design for gazillionaires. He showed slide after slide of jaw dropping incredible homes. Many of his interiors have "not your average design elements" such as a "morning kitchen" off the master bedroom suite or sterling silver used as a design feature on the back of a door.
I do love the beautiful leather tiles on the wall in this library.
Don't you just love the hits of turquoise and red in this beautifully designed room below.
Martyn Lawrence Bullard was equally as fascinating. He is one of the stars of Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators. Although I have heard about the show, we do not get Bravo so I unfortunately, I have never seen it. He told some great stories about his life, his travels, and his famous clients.
Bullard came to Los Angles from England not be a designer but to be an actor. It was a chance encounter with actress Cheryl Tiegs at a wedding that launched his entire design career. To this day he credits her for every single job he has done. Recently Bullard has partnered with Schumacher to design the most beautiful fabrics. The colors and patterns are incredible and many of the fabrics are hand embroidered in India and China. The price point is somewhat high ($98-$200+ a yard) but they really are exquisite.
This blue and white fabric below is one of the hand embroidered ones. Just Imagine the time and labor that goes into creating this.
Check out the combination of colors in this fabric below.
Bullard's client list reads like a Who's Who of major Hollywood stars so it's no surprise to see such a bold use of colour and pattern. Strong schemes for strong personalities. For the rest of us…we can still dream…and use the fabric.
As always, I would love to hear your thoughts on Juan Montoya, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, or the new fabric for Schumacher.

Margarita Recipe
One of the crown jewels in the cocktail world is the Margarita. Like some of the classic French and Italian recipes every chef should know, the Margarita is something that every bartender knows. Since it's such a well-known and simple cocktail you'd think getting a decent Margarita would be easy. Well, that assumption would be wrong. The problems stem from judicious recipe modifications and the increased use of sugar in food and drink. What was once a well-balanced cocktail, is now a giant, fluorescent green, sugar laced, culinary nightmare. It's not beyond repair, and hardcore Slurpee lovers may be surprised to find that the original Margarita is still an excellent drink.
The Margarita recipe is one of the easier cocktail recipes, and can be considered a "base cocktail". This means the recipe/formula is the basis for many other cocktails. The Margarita is a modification of the Sidecar, which is a variation of the Daisy. This simplicity makes tweaking for personal tastes very easy. However, sometimes these changes go a little too far.
The basic recipe mingles three ingredients, plus ice and salt. Gary Regan (Joy of Mixology) recommends a 3:2:1 formula, which is easy to remember, and tastes good. Dale Degroff (The Essential Cocktail) has a similar recipe, but adjusts the ingredients a bit, for personal preference.
Margarita Recipes
|Gary Regans'
1½ oz Tequila
1 oz Cointreau
½ oz Lime Juice
|Dale Degroff's
1½ oz Tequila
1 oz Cointreau
¾ oz Lime Juice
¼-½ Simple Syrup
My preference is as follows:
The 4-2-2-1 Margarita
2 oz Tequila (Blanco)
1 oz Cointreau
1 oz Lime Juice
½ tsp Fructose
Instructions: In a cocktail shaker combine all ingredients with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a salt-rimmed stemware glass. No garnish necessary.
This version of the Margarita puts more focus on the tequila and lime, which I think makes the drink. Because of the extra lime, there is a need for a little sweetener to provide balance. The name comes from the ratio of tequila, triple sec, lime and sugar (4:2:2:1).
I like Blanco tequila's in my Margarita's, but I'm not against a Reposado or Anejo; it's just my personal preference. It also doesn't have to be an expensive tequila, just a decent quality one, without harshness. While writing this post, I used Jose Cuervo Especial Silver Tequila, which has been sitting on my desk waiting for a purpose. It worked perfectly fine for a reasonably priced tequila.
Freshly squeezed lime juice is a must, period, end of story. Unless you commit to that, you'll never be able to produce a great Margarita.
One of the things I see a lot and disagree with is the use of Grand Marnier instead of Cointreau or triple sec. Some people think using a more expensive ingredient makes a better cocktail. Seems fine in theory, but doesn't always work in practice. The flavour isn't as clean as a triple sec, but the bigger problem is the Margarita can look like smokers luggie when using Grand Marnier. Let's put it this way, brown and green are not the best colours to mix in a glass. I've witnessed some Margarita's that looked horribly unappetizing because of the addition of Grand Marnier. Stick to a clear triple sec style liqueur or Curacao.
Should you add sugar to a Margarita? For a purist, no, but chances of having one of them sitting at your bar are slim. Plus, you'll probably recognize them as Robert Hess, Ted Haig, Dave Wondrich or one of the other cocktail luminaries. The reality is, most people have adapted to a sweeter drink and the classic Margarita recipe can be a bit tart. A little additional sweetness helps to balance out the recipe and bridges the gap between classic and lime slushy. Half a teaspoon is more than enough sugar.
Speaking of sugar, my personal preference is fructose (½ teaspoon) instead of table sugar (sucrose). I find it works better with the lime's tartness and gives a smoothness to the Margarita. You can find pure fructose at most health food stores.

If you are a practising bartender, your primary function is always sales, the secondary is cocktail conversion. This means that even though you may really like a Margarita that cockles your face, statistically most people do not. That means a little sweetness will keep people coming back. If you do find a person who likes some pucker power in their Margarita, you can always add more lime juice to balance it out, and then adjust their next order.
Agave Nectar Margarita
Using agave nectar as a sweetener has become a popular choice for bartenders lately. There is nothing wrong with it and on the surface, it probably does compliment the flavours of tequila.
Margarita Salt Rim
The salt rim is one of the key elements of a Margarita. Otherwise, it's just a Tequila Kamikaze. Choosing a decent salt will help the drink. I like to use a "flaked" sea salt, because the larger crystals dissolve slower on the tongue and don't overpower your palate like regular, fine grain, table salt. Koshering salt works fine, but is almost the same as common table salt, just larger grain. If you are feeling creative, you can pick up "gourmet" sea salts like Himalayan Pink, Grey Sea Salt, Fleur de Sel or Bolivian Rose Salt. For something fascinating try finding Vanilla Fleur de Sel or Bali Coconut and Lime Smoked Sea Salt.
The vanilla salt rim, even though none traditional, is a great way to increase perceived sweetness. Just using the aroma of vanilla has been scientifically proven to make people believe their drink is sweeter than it is.
The main thing to keep in mind is that the rim should be lightly salted, not encrusted. The Margarita is about balance, and should not taste like a "salt lick" found on a farm. If you still find that too salty, try mixing it with a bit of sugar (courtesy of the Skinny Girl Margarita) or, better yet, fructose. One of the properties of crystalline fructose is that it causes a cooling sensation on the tongue when the crystals melt. Just another level of refreshing.
The interesting thing about this simple recipe is how the taste components interact with one another. The simplest example is the balance of sweet and sour.
Less obvious is how salt interacts. First, salt can dramatically reduce bitter flavours. On the surface, most people would say there is nothing bitter about a Margarita. In reality, there are many bitter components in this recipe. Triple sec, even though very sweet, is made from the bitter orange peel. Lime juice has many bitter components, even though we think of it as sour. Finally, tequila can be bitter to many people, partially because of the natural plant materials used in its production, plus alcohol is perceived as bitter by many people (super-taster and some normal tasters). When used in proper proportions, the salt reduces these bitter qualities and makes the Margarita very smooth and highlights the most agreeable flavours.
Additionally, salt decreases the tartness of the lime juice and increases the sweetness of the sugars in the Margarita. Finally, Salt is a natural flavour enhancer so that it can improve the flavour of the cocktail. If done properly, salt can be the key component in any Margarita recipe.
Sadly, so many bartenders have gone way overboard on the salt rimming, that it is now an "optional" component. Aside from the aversive taste of a mouthful full of salt, people (girls mostly) worry about water retention from excess salt consumption. Assuming the salt is kept under control, the classic Margarita recipe weighs in at a mere 196 calories. Water retention is a lot easier to deal with than the calories from a sugar-laden cocktail.
Here's my key recommendation for a great Margarita:
Keep your salt rim as thin as possible and use larger salt crystals
If made properly, the Margarita is an absolute pleasure to drink. Given a classic Margarita recipe, with a proper salt rim, most people will refuse to go back to their once beloved Lime Green Slushies.
If you haven't already checked it out, you should read the Skinny Girl Margarita post. Also, National Margarita Day is celebrated on February 22.

- Brewin: Comparing Ronaldo and Klose
The 36-year-old's decision -- which had been expected after the 2014 tournament, in which he took his World Cup tally to 16 goals as Germany won the trophy -- sparked fond coverage of a man national boss Joachim Low called "one of the greatest attackers to ever play the game."
The Heute Journal, the main news show of German TV network ZDF, looked back at Klose's first international appearance against Albania in March 2001, when he came on as a substitute to score the first of his 71 Nationalmannschaft goals.
The programme described Poland-born Klose as humble and gentle, showing every one of his World Cup goals, spliced with interviews spanning his Germany career.
"It could go on like this forever -- he is not only a great footballer but also a good chap, as one of my colleagues wrote today," anchorman Christian Sievers said, refereeing to a Der Spiegel article.
The Der Spiegel piece went on to rank Klose alongside legendary Germany attackers Helmut Rahn, Uwe Seeler and Gerd Muller.
"The older Klose got, the more tournaments he played, the more he looked like a footballer fallen out of time," it said. "One from the good old days when national team players, with the help of their agents, did not tweet meaningless things into the world, when football stars played football and were not brand ambassadors."
Miroslav Klose, the #WorldCup's leading scorer, retires from Germany. Here are his 16 goals - http://t.co/HZuIUIai90 pic.twitter.com/aRm9WJxr5m
- FIFAWorldCup (@FIFAWorldCup) August 11, 2014Kicker commented that Klose had found an appropriate way to leave the big stage, saying: "It's fitting with the life of this great and always remarkably modest sportsman that he did not seek the big stage for his farewell but made an unspectacular announcement through the [German football] association.
"It will be huge challenge for the future generation of strikers to measure themselves against Miroslav Klose."
Broadsheet FAZ commented that a career such as that of Klose, who worked his way up the ranks from the seventh tier of German football to the pinnacle, would be almost impossible today.
Football magazine 11 Freunde compared Klose to a good wine, saying he "got better with every year, with a tasty finish" and added: "You will be missed -- not only because you helped Germany win the World Cup but also because you were like a good friend. You bolstered, gave hope and we could always rely on you."
Broadsheet Sueddeutsche Zeitung said "nobody had to work as hard to get to the top as Mirsolav Klose," while Berlin-based Tagesspiegel headlined: "More valuable than just goals."
Klose, who broke Brazil star Ronaldo's World Cup record, said bowing out after the Germans had lifted the trophy was the right thing to do.
He played 137 matches for his country over 13 years, and told the official German FA (DFB) website: "With the [World Cup] title in Brazil, a childhood dream came true.
"I am proud and happy that I was able to help shape this great success for German football."

- Germany (@DFB_Team_EN) August 11, 2014Klose said he had enjoyed "a unique and wonderful time and so many unforgettable moments with Die Nationalmannschaft."
His tally of 71 Germany goals put him three ahead of Gerd Muller as the country's highest-ever scorer, but he stressed: "Team success stood, and stands, above everything for me."
Low said Klose was "someone you can always rely on, an international star and one of the greatest strikers" and added: "I am happy and grateful that I was able to work with Miroslav Klose."

You'll find them on opposite ends of the field, each honing a different craft.
One is perfecting the art of scoring goals. The other has become an expert at preventing them.
Together, they've helped make the Regis women's lacrosse team the premier program in the New England Collegiate Conference.
Sam Salamone came to Regis after four outstanding seasons leading the Milford offense. Emma Decker spent just one season as the goalkeeper for Algonquin, biding her time behind incumbent goalie Ashley Armstrong. But she impressed enough in her senior campaign to draw the attention of the Pride.
There was no need for her to wait upon her arrival. She was given the keys to the Regis net from the moment she stepped on the field, and never looked back.
That was two years ago, the same year Salamone joined the team and quickly locked down a spot at attack. Their arrival has corresponded with the two most successful years in program history.
It's no coincidence.
"As the program grows they're growing with it and pulling it with them," said first-year Regis coach Courtney Duggan. "With those two starting at the same time and going through this together, it's important you have someone you can relate to."
Regis started as a varsity program in 2004, and played as such before dropping down to club status for the 2009 season. The Pride returned to varsity play the next year, and went 1-13, claiming the first win in program history. They took an incremental step the next season, going 4-12 in 2011 before making a leap to 9-4 in 2012.
Then came 2013, a season when the Pride reached heights previously unimagined. Salamone wasted no time acclimating to the collegiate level. Teaming with sophomore Grace Politis, she led the Regis offense with an incredible 92 goals and 24 assists, earning NECC Rookie of the Year and first-team All-Conference honors.
"When a new player comes to the team we have to learn how they play and know what they are capable of doing," said Salamone. "Once the girls realized they could rely on me, they knew they could pass to me and I'd get the job done."
Decker, meanwhile, started every game with a conference-best 9.37 goals against average and 49.2 save percentage. Though only a freshman, she had the team's utmost confidence, to the point where Regis didn't bother to hold another true goalie on its roster. It's been that way for the last two seasons.
Together they led the team to heights unimaginable a few years prior — a 13-6 record, and with a 9-8 victory in overtime against Becker in the final game of the season a conference championship.
At the time, they thought it couldn't get any better. The first conference championship in program history — how do you top that?
Only by winning a second conference championship. Which is exactly what they did.
Regis was even more dominant this past season. The Pride went 14-3, cruising to another meeting with Becker in the NECC title game.
It was another tight matchup, with the teams deadlocked 5-5 at halftime.
"They always give us a run for our money no matter how focused we are," said Salamone. "We are always neck and neck with that team. Every time we play them it's just that close game again."
But the Pride broke through. Salamone had a seven-point day and Decker made six key saves, and Regis earned a 13-9 victory.
"It was really rewarding," said Decker. "We worked every day and we knew our hardest competition was going to be Becker. We wanted to win those games for the seniors. We knew how important this season was to them, and it was really rewarding to see the look on their faces when we won another championship for them."
There was some disappointment among the jubilation. Heading into the season, Regis was under the assumption that winning the conference tournament would carry an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. But when Daniel Webster failed to field a team and dropped out of the conference, the NECC no longer qualified for an automatic bid.
Regis felt it had earned the right to keep playing. Instead, the Pride's victory over Becker was their final game of the season.
"We were looking forward to that experience and I think it was disappointing having that taken away from us," said Salamone. "But it was out of our control and there was nothing really we could have done."
So the players didn't let it diminish what they had accomplished. A team that was playing at a club level six years before had won consecutive conference titles.
And Salamone and Decker were instrumental to the effort.
Salamone actually saw her production dip in her second season. The Pride made a concerted effort to keep their offense balanced, focusing on distributing the ball rather than just setting up two players. But she still led the team in points with 64 goals and 17 assists, and was once again first-team All-Conference.
"I thought she kind of added tings to her game and found other ways to be effective," said Duggan. "Not just scoring every goal, but making good assists, or on the draw."
And Decker improved her game as well, slashing her GAA to 8.22 with a save percentage of 53.0. As a freshman, she felt she had played well enough to be named NECC Goalie of the Year. Instead, the honor went to Becker's Shelby Wick's. As a sophomore, she left no doubt as to where the honor would go.
"I was very excited," said Decker. "I was student teaching and Sam was the one who texted me to tell me and she was so excited. I hadn't checked my email all day and I pretty much started crying in the middle of student teaching."
The resume continues to grow for the two stars. After accomplishing so much in their first two seasons, they're hoping the next two offer even more opportunity for success, should the conference be able to regain its automatic bid.
"It's a really fun time to be a part of our program," said Duggan. "They're kind of building this winning tradition, and that's great for the players who have been here for the hard times and are now reaping the benefits."
And next summer Salamone, Decker and several other members of the Pride have been invited to play on the American International lacrosse team, a group comprised of elite Division II and III players from across the country that will travel to play in England, Ireland and Scotland. For these two at least, it was an easy decision. See you there.
"I only started playing my freshman year of high school," said Decker. "I never thought I'd even play in college, and now I'm traveling to the UK to play."
Funny how things change.

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - An explosion of live ordnance caused Wednesday's accidental deaths of four U.S. Marines while they were conducting routine maintenance in an artillery zone at Camp Pendleton in California, a base spokesman said on Thursday.
The type of shell that exploded on Wednesday morning at the Zulu Impact Area and how exactly it was detonated remain under investigation, the spokesman, Jeff Nyhart said.
The range, located deep in the interior of the sprawling base, is used as a target zone for artillery and aerial bombing practice, and requires routine maintenance to keep it clear of obstructions and unexploded rounds.
The four dead Marines were ordnance disposal technicians based at Camp Pendleton, not new recruits, and "were handling unexploded ordnance" when the blast occurred, Nyhart said. The victims' names and details of their unit were being withheld pending notification of their families, he said.
No live-fire exercises were under way at the site at the time of the accident, and no shells were being fired into the area from neighboring target ranges, he said.
More than a dozen Marines and sailors have died at Pendleton since 2004 in various mishaps ranging from helicopter crashes to accidental shootings, according to Los Angeles-based City News Service.
Seven Marines were killed in an accidental munitions depot blast in Nevada in March. In May, a U.S. Navy SEAL was killed in a vehicle accident during a training exercise at Fort Knox in Kentucky.
In September 2011, two Marines aboard a helicopter died when it crashed during a training mission at Camp Pendleton, two months after a Marine was killed when another helicopter went down at the base.
Camp Pendleton, 40 miles north of San Diego, is the main West Coast base for the Marine Corps. The base, with a land mass comparable to the size of Rhode Island, is home to 37,000 active duty Marines and sailors.

Hard exercise reduces flu risk - but gentle exercise makes little difference
Doing at least 2.5 hours a week of activity that leads to sweating or hard breathing reduces flu or flu-like illness by around 10%
Taking part in vigorous exercise - such as running, fast cycling or rugby - cuts the risk of catching flu by around 10%, research suggests.
Doing at least 2.5 hours a week of activity that leads to sweating or hard breathing reduces flu or flu-like illness, the analysis found.
More gentle pursuits, such as walking or light jogging, were found to have little effect.
Experts at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine examined data from its online flu study, Flusurvey.
They found overall flu levels across the UK appear to be down on last year, with the flu season apparently curbed by a lack of illness among children and young people.
Some 5% of children were reported to have flu, compared to almost 8% the previous year.
More than 4,800 people have taken part in this year's Flusurvey so far, with the findings released to mark National Science & Engineering Week
Dr Alma Adler, research fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "We're really interested in the preliminary findings around fitness activity and flu-like illness, as exercise is something that everyone can do to reduce your chance of having flu.
"We need to treat this result cautiously as these are preliminary findings, however they are consistent with findings for other conditions and really show the health benefits of exercise.
"Although many people have dodged the flu bullet this winter, flu can occur at any time, so taking advantage of the better weather is a great opportunity to get out and get fit to ward off flu this spring."(Mirror News)

me <EANNERj> ^^^^S Page 1 May 16, 1975 ^^^•^^^ "Junie Moon" To Be Learning Experience By GEORGE LEWIS Rather than being a play just for entertainment, Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon, to be performed by the Drama department tonight, would seem to be an indictment against all 'normal' people for not reacting 'normally' to 'abnormal' people. According to Dr. Irving Shaw, head of the Drama department, the play revolves around three handicapped people looking for love. Realizing that the world won't DEBBIE MURPHEY give it to them, they band together and become recluses. Bitterness is all that comes from their search. Junie Moon, the main character, is played byDeniseHiggins. Arthur and Warren, the other two major characters, are played by Keith Lyall and Dave Ayala. Syl- vonia Sager, Terry Nomura, Debbie Sheffield, Teresa Wright, Randy Bennett, Valerie Koivunen, Danny Hagar, Judy White and Joe Warren makeup the rest of the cast. According to Dr. Shaw, this play is not going to rate high in audience understanding. It seems that peoples' biggest failing is that they don't know how to react to abnormal people. "If people would see the show open-minded- ly," Shaw said, "then they would see that sick people need to be treated normally. "We only love those that are worthy, in our opinion," Shaw said. Abnormal people need love— compression, warmth, and usually all they get is pity or horror. The characters in the play tent to go introspective, Dr. Shaw said, or even a littlebitpsychotic. They, too, don't know how to react normally to abnormality. Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon will be playing tonight and Saturday night in the Book of Life building. Show starts at 8 p.m. Debbie Murphey Wins Runoffs Debbie Murphey is the winner of last week's run-off election for the office of A.S.B. Secretary. For Miss Murphey, hard work has paid off. She ran a high geared and effective campaign, that included handbills, banners, posters, and free gum. According to Miss Murphey, she hadn't even planned to run but came to the conclusion that if she didn't, her experience as last year's secretary would have been in vain. Says Miss Murphey, "Before last year I wasn't involved in student government. After running last year for the office of secretary and winning, I have had a chance to gain a whole spectrum of experience. I think such experience could be of benefit to the student body." Miss Murphey feels that the of fice of Secretary as defined in the A.S.B. constitution is unclear and needs redefining. According to Miss Murphey, "I want to expand the office of secretary. The constitution is unclear in regards to the position's duties. It is a job that entails more than just taking notes at a meeting. I hope to work side by side with the other officers in their future projects." Debbie Murphey is excited about working with next year's A.S.B. council. "We'll have a strong council next year. Tim has served as Vice President in the past year, Al has worked with the sophomore class, and Jack Hart has had much experience working with such activities as the Yule and hole-in- the-wall festivals." Musacchio's Work To Be Published In The Student What started out as a 1972 CBC Honors Day address will be published in The Student magazine in January, 1976. "The Scholar's Progress" tells of a youth, named Scholar, who climbs Mt. Veritas with a blind man, who is his Guide. Along the way, Scholar learns the woes of too much worldly gaiety at the Cave of Pleasure, he overcomes Fear and Pride at the Pass of Fear, and he learns of discrepant corruption in the guise of Copernican, Darwinian, and Freudian. These three characters challenges Scholar's ambition, using the theories of their realistic, human counterparts—Copernicus, Darwin, and Freud. Finally, the Scholar and the Guide reach the peak of Mt. Veritas, where the Scholar tastes of success in the form of Degree, Applause, and Publication, and he meets the ultimate success when he meets and learns of Beauty, also known as Truth; yet, the Scholar continues to look forward to the future and he continues to learn. Mt. Veritas symbolizes college and the Scholar symbolizes a college student. The Guide is the student's consciousness--that which tries to keep him on the proper path and not allow him to go astray. Degree, Applause, and Publication symbolizes the student's having attained the goal he worked for--a degree and graduation from college—but, that does not signify the end of learning and ambition. The point that Dr. Musacchio wishes to exemplify is that the spiritual and the academic goes hand in hand, and a student must continue to learn, even after college.

Brown's term of service to CBC was honored with the first 25 year pin. Making the presentation is Dean Dr. Stephen Carleton. DR. STAPLES TELLS REALITY OF DREAM By BOB WILSON Wednesday's chapel was a time of electric excitement and projection. For the first time in a long while, the chapel was almost full to capacity. After several announcements, students, faculty, and staff alike were treated to a special music presentation of a song selected from the Messiah sung by Mr. Cleveland, backed up by the musical expertise of Mr. Shannon and Mr. Johannson. Dr. James Staples, president of C.B.C., then began to share. His sermonette was entitled "We Have a Dream". He shared the need for C.B.C. to reach the world. Said Staples, "We can't change all the problems of the world but we can start here. Let's become a transforming college and not a college conformed to the world we live in today. We need to have a desire to be like Jesus. C.B.C. is only as good as it's faculty, staff and students." Dr. Staples went on to tell the chapel audience the plans for C.B.C.'s future which includes a refurbished dining hall (tobecom- pleted during the summer), a new Banquet Brings iiwarcis school bus, a record recorded by the Les Chantueses, and the improvement of the Sybil Brown room. A new married students apt. complex is being projected for the fall of 1976 and student wages will be raised to $2.00 an hour beginning this Sept. and will be raised to $2.10 in January. Dr. Murice Anderson will be teaching sociology in the fall and the curriculum is being expanded. Topping off the chapel, was the debut of the 10 minute color promotion film featuring the highlights and personalities of the campus. The film was produced by Calvary Arrowhead Assoc, and the C.B.C. Women's Guild. Featured in chapel today at 10 a.m. will be Dr. Posey, former head of the Calif. Southern Baptist Convention. Service pins were presented last Friday night at the faculty staff awards banquet. Academic dean, Dr. Stephen Carleton presented the faculty pins, and Business manager, Pat McGrew presented the staff pins. Dr. Olie T. Brown received the 25 year pin. Twenty year pins went to Frances Jennings, Calvin Whor- ton, and Dr. Dewey Jones. Ernie Roach, head of maintenance, received probably the only 11 year pin in existance, because of an unfortunate oversight last year. Five year pins were presented to Lily Pan Diehl, Gordon Addison, Robert Roth, Dr. James Mc- Whinney, Hayden McClung, and Floyd Evans. Another 5 year pin was presented by Dr. Stanly O. White, chairman of the Board of Trustees to Dr. James Staples. Nurse, Psychologist, Cafeteria Combine in Diet Program by Diane Bishop Students, faculty, and staff are joining together to fight a battle against weight problems here at CBC. Every Tuesday at 3:15 in the old chapel the participants in the "nurse's diet plan" meet to rap on any problems - physical or mental that they are experiencing on the diet. The program is headed by Theresa Morgan, CBC's nurse. She is doing this program for a class project in a health education program at UCLA. Mrs. Thompson is helping with the psychological aspects of weight loss and Larry Ahl has been asked to help out with the food in the cafeteria. Approximately 10% of the student population is involved in this program. The nurse is having them graph their weight loss. The nurse urges them to not try and lose more than 2 pounds a week. Most of them, however, are trying for more. They show Mrs. Morgan their graphs when they have their Tuesday meetings and they discuss progress and how to continue it. The diet consists of a 1,000 calorie a day intake. It is mandatory that the participants eat 3 meals a day. They are also required to walk one to three miles a day. (1 mile is equivalent to 4 laps around the track or 2 times back and forth from the dorms to the main building.) After the mile, the walker is totakehis/herpulse. If the pulse is over 100 they are not physically fit. Jogging, bicycle riding, and strenuous exercises are not required. If the participants feel like doing them, however, they can. The first meeting of the diet plan Mrs. Thompson spoke on the responsibility and irresponsibilty of taking care of your own weight. Mrs. Morgan spoke on the dangers of obesity and semi-obesity. The psychological feeling ofwell-being when you're at the right weight was also discussed. Larry Ahl (in charge of the cafeteria), and Wanda Price (in charge of the student center), have both tried to provide food that can be eaten by those on the diet. So far they have been doing a good job, according to Mrs. Morgan. Most of the items on the diet are on the menu, according to Larry. There is always salad, meat, cottage cheese, yogart, non-fat milk, and vegetables available. It is just a matter of leaving off the bun or skipping the mashed potatoes. Mrs. Morgan wants to stress that this is a well balanced diet- not a fad diet. There is a great selection of food to be eaten on the list. Results have been good. After the first week no one had gained any weight and all but one had lost from 2-10 pounds. By keeping track of weight loss by graphing it, Mrs. Morgan hopes to find out at the end of May the total weight loss for the semester.

Third-grader Martin Richard had just gotten ice cream and was near the Boston Marathon finish line, eagerly watching for friends to run by. Krystle Campbell of Arlington was enjoying the race with her best friend, hoping to get a photo of the other woman's boyfriend after he conquered the last mile.
Then the unthinkable struck. The spirited 8-year-old, pictured on Facebook in his classroom holding a sign that read "No more hurting people," was dead, along with the outgoing 29-year-old woman and a graduate student from China — victims of twin bombs that turned a scene of celebration into chaos.
More than 170 others suffered injuries that included severed limbs, shrapnel wounds and abdominal lacerations.
Jeff Bauman Jr., a man pictured in an Associated Press photo being rushed from the scene Monday in a wheelchair, lost both legs. Rescuers took the 27-year-old to Boston Medical Center, where doctors found extensive vascular and bone damage.
"Unfortunately my son was just in the wrong place at the wrong time," his father, Jeff Bauman, wrote in a Facebook post.
The younger Bauman, who had been at the race to cheer on his girlfriend, had further surgery because of fluid in his abdomen.
"I just can't explain what's wrong with people today, to do this to people," the father wrote. "I'm really starting to lose faith in our country."
While mourning the dead Tuesday, friends and neighbors tried to focus on positive memories of cherished ones whose deaths still seemed unreal to them.
"I just can't get a handle on it," said Jack Cunningham, a longtime friend of little Martin and his family. "In an instant, life changes."
Cunningham recalled how, as a pint-sized preschooler, the boy had insisted on getting out of his stroller during a 5K race in South Boston. As soon as his mom let him out to run with the rest of the family, Martin took off along the rainy race course.
"He was just having a ball, splashing in every puddle," Cunningham said.
The boy's father, Bill Richard, released a statement thanking friends, family and strangers for their support following his son's death.
Richard's wife, Denise, and the couple's 6-year-old daughter, Jane, suffered serious injuries in the blasts. Their older son, Henry, wasn't hurt. Two neighbors said Jane lost one of her legs in the attack.
"My dear son, Martin, has died from injuries sustained in the attack on Boston," Richard said. "My wife and daughter are both recovering from serious injuries. We thank our family and friends, those we know and those we have never met, for their thoughts and prayers. I ask that you continue to pray for my family as we remember Martin."
Boston University said one of the victims was a graduate student who was watching the race with friends at the finish line, which is not far from the school. The Chinese Consulate in New York said the victim was a Chinese national, though it did not identify the student.
In nearby Medford, William Campbell described his daughter, Krystle, as the light of his life, "a very caring, very loving person."
"Daddy's little girl," the 56-year-old said.
Her mother, Patty Campbell, her voice breaking into tears, said the couple was "heartbroken at the death of our daughter."
"She was a wonderful person. Everybody that knew her loved her. ... She had a heart of gold. She was always smiling. You couldn't ask for a better daughter," the mother said. "This doesn't make sense."
Their daughter's best friend, Karen Rand, suffered a severe leg injury in the blasts. "She's very badly hurt. She's all messed up," Campbell said. "Her leg was all destroyed."
A friend and co-worker at the restaurant where Krystle Campbell was a manager described her as hardworking yet fun-loving, someone who knew how to live life to its fullest.
"We'd go out drinking and she'd work a double the next day," Sheba Parent said. "But she was still career-oriented and focused on her goals."
U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, a family friend, said Martin and his family were trying to get over the race barriers and into the street after the first blast, when the second bomb struck.
"They were looking in the crowd as the runners were coming to see if they could identify some of their friends when the bomb hit," said Lynch, who has known the Richards for 25 years.
Bill Richard, a runner and cycling enthusiast who did not run the race, had to have several ball bearings removed from his leg, Lynch said.
On Tuesday, a candle burned on the stoop of the family's single-family home in the city's Dorchester section.

As I started to travel, I decided to bring a point-and-shoot camera with me, as a way to bring back memories of the visited countries.
The more I used the camera, the more I began to have fun with it, to play with all the settings and even to edit my photos and to take more interesting pictures than just the classic touristy ones.
I also started to hang out more and more with people with a passion for photography, who owned more complex cameras (a reflex camera was something out of this world to me then).
But things started to become more serious when I was living in New York City. I was working and living with photography fans. That's when I bought my first entry-level reflex camera (that I kept 5 years) and
I started to learn how to use it and perfect my photo skills. And this amazing city was the perfect model.
Since then I take pictures every single day, it became something natural and that I can't live without.
More recently I stepped up my game and started to share my pictures more widely, and got published by prestigious online magazines like National Geographic or even having my pictures shown during several exhibitions in France.
In November 2014, I won the FUJIFILM "Talents Nomades" photo competition, which is one of the hardest contest I entered. I got to meet awesome people and try a lot of different FUJIFILM cameras.
I still mainly take pictures of my travels and try my best to show the world the places I go to through my eyes. But I'm interested in all the styles photography, from still life to fashion to street photography, and I intend to try it all.
I was lucky enough to be able to use several FUJIFILM cameras during the "Talents Nomades" photo competition.
That being said, I now mainly use a X-T1 Graphite Silver edition camera with a XF56mmF1.2 lens which does wonders for portrait photography.
I recently tried and loved the XF10-24mm lens during a trip to Japan. It was perfect to capture the business and vastness of a big city such as Tokyo.
As someone who travels quite a bit, switching to the Fujifilm X series allowed me to bring less gear with me and most importantly saved me from a lot of back pain carrying a bigger and heavier camera
like I used to do.
Street photography was also made way easier thanks to the completely silent electronic shutter and the tilting screen.

TMS puts the boot into flash
Start your server engines
TMS has given its server flash cards the ability to boot operating systems – so servers can start up faster.
The RamSan-20 and -70 are PCIe products are server flash memory cards with 450GB or 900GB respectively of fast, single-level cell NAND storage, offering up to 330,000 sustained 4K random read IOPS, 400,000 random write IOPS, peaking at 1.5 million IOPS, and 2.5GB/sec bandwidth. Firmware has been added to the RamSan-70, so most common servers can boot their operating system code directly from it instead of from slower disk.
Supported servers are 64-bit, X86-based with the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) 2.1 or later. The supported operating systems for now include most Linux versions. Windows and VMware support is expected by the end of the quarter.
From the flash storage industry point of view, the idea of all-solid state servers is attractive. Capacity storage will be provided by networked disk drive arrays either on-premise or in the cloud. The server's direct-attached storage would be flash with terabytes of multi-level cell (MLC) flash providing capacity-optimised NAND for the servers and faster single-level cell NAND being used for a performance focus.
It's likely that this flash will eventually be treated as storage memory; an adjunct to the server's DRAM and viewed by the host O/S as occupying a single address space with the DRAM. The SNIA's NVM workgroup has a focus on providing interfaces and standards for this.
Having bootable PCIe flash is a first step on this road and may presage TMS bringing out MLC server flash cards with 2TB or so of capacity so more server applications can be covered by its products, enabling customers to move to disk-free servers. ®

While rumors pegged LeBron James, Derrick Rose and even Tyreke Evans as favorites to appear on the cover of "NBA 2K11," multiple sources have told ESPN that the company has gone in a completely different direction, signing basketball legend Michael Jordan as its new spokesman.
This will be the first time that a former player will appear on the front of the box for 2K, and with Jordan taking over majority ownership of the Charlotte Bobcats, it will also be the first time that a team owner will endorse the popular franchise.
But the real question is, what value -- beyond obvious name and iconic image recognition -- will Jordan bring to the game? In the era of Kobe and King James, are gamers still yearning to "Be Like Mike"?
The designers at 2K must think so. In addition to acting as cover model for "NBA 2K11," the speculation is that Jordan will also be digitized into a playable character. This means gamers will become the virtual MJ in hopes of reliving some of his trademark moments.

Trying to Google this is not as easy as it sounds.

There might be banks that don't have an online method of banking.
On the other hand - you can pick any well known bank and simply Not do online banking... If "you" don't create an online account no one else can...

I do not know of any yet even in the remotest parts of the world
Small-Town Texas Bank Still Open for Business After 100 Years
"We claim to be an antique bank, run by antiques. There's nobody here under 70," said bank president R.R. Wiley. Wiley himself is 85 years old, but he still comes to work every day, writing checks on his typewriter.
Wiley manages two employees, 76-year-old Lela Coates and the young'un of the group, 71-year-old Neta Eldridge.
The trio runs America's smallest bank with machines so old that they couldn't find anyone to fix them if they ever broke down. Change comes from a mechanical device that never misses a cent.

I can't think of any either. Keeping your identity and your finances safe isn't only a matter of online banking. This includes check and credit card fraud as well.

Days after we reported the news of Teresa Giudice and hubby Joe Giudice having to stand trial for bankruptcy fraud in July, 2011, their attorney is now speaking out on their behalf.
James Kridel, attorney for the Real Housewives of New Jersey stars, will have to prove to the bankruptcy court come 2011 that his clients' bankruptcy filing is indeed legit and should not be overturned. Roberta DeAngelis, the attorney in the U.S. Trustees Office who evaluated the Giudices' filing, has recommended that the court not grant their Chapter 7 petition due to fraud. DeAngelis accused the Giudices of concealing assets, hiding income, providing false information to the IRS, etc.
Kridel's strategy seems to be to avoid the trial all together. "I am going to be sending a letter to the US Trustees Office because I would like to resolve with them their issue rather than have to try it," Kridel told RadarOnline.
Kridel however claims he isn't doing this out of fear of losing the case or desperation. "I'm not doing it out of desperation; I'm doing it in their [debtors and US Trustees] best interest. That's the next step. But ultimately the ball is in their court."
Kridel also adds that he will argue that his clients "have been punished enough." Kridel stated, "Instead of just looking at it as 'Joe Giudice,' it is a family and to deny a discharge in this case would destroy this family. Some of the family members are clearly not responsible for anything that occurred here."
Good luck with that Kridel. In other NJ news, RadarOnline is also reporting that Caroline Manzo's sons – Albie and Chris Manzo – have officially moved out of their mama bear's cave and into their own bachelor pad!
"The guys decided to get their own place because they are young and good looking and famous," a source close to the family told Radar. "They get a lot of attention from women. They are growing up and they need their privacy."
The source adds that Caroline is however having a hard time adjusting to her new empty nest. "Their mom is really sad because she is really close to her sons," added the insider.

An earlier post about companion CDs (Phase One on B&F/Motion) got me thinking about Carlton Patterson's stuff on Black & White.
Copies of his JA 7" re-issues crop up regularly on Ernie's and elsewhere, so I guess Carlton is still active? But I can only ever remember seeing one CD - the Pressure Sounds 'Psalms of Dub' set.
Are there any others around? If not, would somebody (James, are you there ) consider putting one together for the international market? There must be plenty of tracks - Vocal, DJ and Dub cuts of several rhythms - that PS overlooked, as happened with the first Phase One CD.
And any problems with Carlton not being well known to HMV browsers could easily be sorted by giving King Tubby prominence - he gets sole credit on almost all of the B sides that ought to be included.
Anyhow, I thought I'd open this up for discussion rather than try Motion direct - so we can see if those 7" B&W sounds really are only popular on my decks.

This past weekend, my husband and I decided to go house hunting for my brother and his wife. There were two new townhouse developments going up near our community and we decided to check them out and report on our findings. The first community seemed like a really good fit for my brother and his family but we decided to take a peek at the second community just to compare.
When we tried to turn into the parking lot for the second development, we were directed to turn around and go back to our own community which was apparently hosting the developer's sales center in our Clubhouse! Imagine our surprise when we heard this news. The sales center had nothing to do with our community at all. When we trudged down to the Clubhouse and asked why this developer would have a sales center inside an entirely different community, we were told that a "deal" had been worked out with the country club months ago.
Was I annoyed that our HOA board had not informed us that our 24/7 manned security was perhaps not so secure now that the community would be open to the general public to accommodate a sales center for a community down the road? You betcha. At the very least, it would have been nice to have been informed of the situation without having to find out about it by chance. As with most things in life though, it is usually easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission so perhaps that was our board's reasoning.
After I simmered down, I realized that in the 4 months since this questionable arrangement had already been in place, nothing bad had occurred in my community. It was business as usual, reinforcing the old maxim that ignorance is bliss.
I have several options at this point. I can continue to fume over the fact that we, as members, were not made aware of this situation and let everyone in my community know about the surprise I stumbled upon. I can overlook it entirely as the Sales Center will be relocated outside our community at the end of November according to the nice sales lady with whom I spoke. I can also look for the positives by acknowledging that the Sales Center has done no harm and might have actually exposed our community to potential future buyers who were more impressed with our community than the one they were trying to visit. No, I have not yet made up my mind about the path I will ultimately take but I am leaning towards the last option.
This experience has reminded me as an association attorney what others might feel about their HOAs on a daily basis. While it is not impossible, there is rarely a joyful surprise in an HOA. More often than not, the surprises in HOAs are of the variety I've described above where boards have taken actions or refused to take actions that might surprise, shock or dismay the members. Of course, the reaction to those surprises are what define who we are as members and as people.

Non-binding resolution attempts to stall LBJ fee hikes
All 21 members of the House have signed on, and yesterday approved, a non-binding House Concurrent Resolution calling on the LBJ Medical Center board of directors "to postpone or cancel" the proposed fee hikes set to go into effect next Monday.
LBJ board chairman Moananu Va last Friday sent a notice to the governor about implementing the fee hikes, saying that there has been no solid financial aid package from the government, although bills have been introduced and hearings held.
Without another revenue source, the hospital may not be able to pay its vendors and fund the Feb. 22 payroll. (LBJ's payroll is about $1.4 million a month)
Relying on income from hospital visits that may occur is not practical, according to the resolution, which also states that it will not enable LBJ to meet its intended purpose of paying vendors.
The LBJ management early this week informed hospital personnel about the new fee hikes going into effect at 8 a.m. on Monday.
"We regret that this action is necessary," according to the e-mail notice to personnel, adding that LBJ has not received any of the emergency funding that was promised by the government, although revenues measures were introduced in the Senate but not yet reconciled.
The resolution, which now goes to the Senate for consideration and approval, cited provisions of local statute which entitle American Samoans and those residing in American Samoa legally, to free medical services.
"The law provides that LBJ may 'make a reasonable charge'. Reasonable charge is defined as realistic, logical, and sensible," the resolution says. "Considering that the whole of American Samoa is considered below the poverty line on the national level, charging a 400% increase in fees is unrealistic, inconsiderate and insensitive to the people of American Samoa."
According to the measure, "a more realistic approach to placing LBJ in a credible position of enabling them to pay their vendors now and in the future is to have the Legislature pass a 'hospital tax' payable by all employees, public and private, and deducted from their paychecks" similar to the wage tax. (No 'hospital tax' bill is pending in the Fono at this time)
"This will assure LBJ specific amounts to plan and pay with, and the entire population will continue to contribute to the survival of the LBJ Medical Center for as long as it exists," it says.
House members reiterated that the Fono "continues to work on revenue measures and long term sustainable solutions in efforts to assist LBJ in rising above its financial woes."
The Fono has so far approved only $800,000 in supplemental funding for LBJ and this measure — which includes another $800,000 for FEMA matching fund— was to have been sent to the governor late Wednesday afternoon.
A second measure, already approved by the Fono, but yet to be finalized by both chambers, is the Senate bill (S.B. 32-26), allocating $3 million to the hospital. The original version calls for a direct payment from the funding source, the Workmen's Compensation Account, to the hospital.
However, the House made several amendments to the bill, which includes having the $3 million be a loan, to be repaid by a new 2% wage tax. After the loan is paid off, 50% of revenues collected from the wage tax go to LBJ's off-island medical referral program and the other 50% goes into the ASG general fund.
The Senate rejected the amendments and yesterday informed the House to return the bill to its original version. However, the House opted to send a communication to the Senate that when amendments are rejected, it also requires calling a conference committee, which is something the Senate didn't seek.
The House communication will be presented at today's Senate session.

MEMBER for Groom Ian Macfarlane said he was willing to stake his political career and reputation on the Range bypass being built.
Last year, federal opposition leader Tony Abbott committed $700 million to the project over three years if the Liberal Party won office at this year's federal election.
Mr Macfarlane, talking exclusively to The Chronicle, said he would not seek re-election at the 2016 federal election if the funding was not made available in the first budget under a new Coalition government.
"If we win office and if it is not delivered in the first budget of our new term then I will not seek re-election," Mr Macfarlane said.
"I will not stand again in the seat of Groom at the following election.
"I will stand by these words and statement to anybody who asks me.
"Tony Abbott is on the record in both Brisbane and Melbourne pledging $700 million towards the project.
"The funding is absolutely definite. It is 100 per cent locked in," he said.
Mr Macfarlane said he understood the proposed Range crossing had been a political football for the past three decades.
"It is one of four infrastructure projects we will embark on in our first term if we win office," he said.
"I am willing to stake my political career and reputation on the funding being announced in the first budget.
"It is not an election promise, it is a promise already."
Mr Macfarlane said he understood residents' reluctance to believe construction would start on the much-maligned project.
"The people of Toowoomba will either remember me for getting the Range crossing if we win the election, or not getting it if we lose," he said.
"But I am 100 per cent confident it will the former if we win."
Mr Macfarlane said the remainder of the funding towards the project would come from private enterprise and the State Government.
"It is implausible to think we would spend $700 million and not finish the project," he said.
"One way or another the Range crossing will be completed"
Mr Macfarlane defended claims he had not done enough to push for the Range crossing in previous years.
"During the Howard era, there was never really any great push, especially from both state and local government, for it to happen," he said.
"People said we needed one, but the level of support from government, was not really there as it is now.
"You have to understand, an infrastructure project of this scale in a sparsely populated area was simply unheard of at that time.
"I will admit it was bloody hard work to get the money that I did out of Howard towards the project.
"I have spilt a lot of blood over this and I am determined to see it through."

Who's your favorite independent rapper? Name the last time you saw this beloved word wizard of yours in person, on stage, with other independent rappers. If you're speechless, you're not alone. Sure, you get your token emcee at Coachella or South by Southwest. You can even get whole festivals of indie hip-hop in New York, California and Cincinnati. But both take large lump sums and a trip halfway across the country. For far too long, world-class independent hip-hop has been inaccessible to most of the country.
Then, in early 2006, a lightbulb illuminated in the noggin of a Living Legend. Murs (Living Legends, Felt) got together with Guerilla Union (the promoters behind those big indie festivals in New York and California). The result is Paid Dues, a traveling festival that's bringing the best in independent hip-hop to rest of us.
The Lineup for this year's festival includes Felt, Living Legends, Sage Francis, Brother Ali, Cage, Mr. Lif, Grouch and Eligh, and Hangar 18. These are hip-hop artists who've been banging on the gates of success for more than 10 years now, and they just keep getting better. They've paid their dues. It's time we paid them some respect.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Police have seized letters, documents and furniture belonging to a Utah woman accused of killing six of her newborns, according to court records made public Monday.
Several search warrant affidavits show police retrieved the items days after Megan Huntsman, 39, told investigators in mid-April that, over a decade, she had given birth to the babies at home and killed them soon after.
The items belonged to Huntsman but had been stored with her mother and grandfather, authorities said.
Among the items were letters between Huntsman and her estranged husband and a bed, chest of drawers and a desk that were in Huntsman's home during the time investigators believe the babies were killed in Pleasant Grove, south of Salt Lake City.
Authorities were still reviewing the documents and did not provide further details. They said the furniture seized did not produce any major evidence.
Pleasant Grove police Lt. Britt Smith said authorities later recovered a tablet device that they believe contains Huntsman's electronic diary, but he did not say where. He said forensic specialists are still going through the device.
"We're just doing a complete and thorough analysis of everything on there," he said.
Huntsman was charged last week with six counts of first-degree murder. She has not entered a plea.
Her attorney, Anthony Howell, declined to comment on the case Monday.
Similar court documents released Friday show Huntsman couldn't remember exactly how many dead infants were in her home, telling police the day she was arrested that there were eight or nine babies.
Police said they believe there were only the seven found in the garage, and Huntsman was confused.
During a search of the trailer she shared with her boyfriend in the Salt Lake City suburb of West Valley City, police also found Xanax, marijuana, bongs and a second diary, the documents said.
Police have said they cannot comment on whether those items were used by Huntsman because they are still investigating.
Huntsman's estranged husband, Darren West, found the first baby April 12 while cleaning out the garage of the home he had shared with Huntsman. He told police he found the baby in a small white box covered with electrician's tape.
The six other bodies were found after police obtained a search warrant for the home. Documents show they were all found wrapped in shirts or towels inside individual boxes in the garage.
During that search, authorities also reported finding bloody leather gloves in the garage, and infant booties and clothes in the master bedroom. Police took stained sections of a mattress in the master bedroom as evidence.
Huntsman later told officers that from 1996 to 2006, she strangled or suffocated six of the babies and packed them in boxes, separate court documents state. Huntsman said one infant found in the garage was stillborn.
Investigators say they know Huntsman's motive but have declined to discuss it publicly.
They believe West is the father of the babies. He lived with Huntsman during the decade the babies were killed and was in federal prison on drug charges from 2006 until January. Prosecutors said he is cooperating with the investigation and is not a suspect.
