Adhesion-based Cell Separation

Wesley Chang
(Professor Dorian Liepman --BioE)

The focus of this project is harnessing selection-based cell adhesions to perform cell separation in microstructured fluidic channels. Cell separation refers to the capture and concentration of cells and even to fractionating different cell types from a continuously flowing sample in a manner suited to the requirements of micro-assay systems.

Extreme weather comes to Congress, and the nation

As the second Arctic blast in two weeks began to cover the South with a blanket of ice and snow, more politicians were beginning to wonder what governments can't do to better protect citizens against unusual weather.

Yesterday morning at a Washington, D.C., hearing, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) indicated he might not believe in climate change. But that didn't stop him from supporting efforts to cool down the construction of coastal homes in a period when more of them are at risk from storms and rising sea levels.

Some might call that adaptation.

The conservative lawmaker, in this case, seemed to agree with a panel of experts who warned yesterday that more federal funding for disasters and to subsidize flood insurance programs could exacerbate the damage from heavier rainfalls and rising seas.

That happens when states and communities allow construction in risky areas, because they anticipate government help when a catastrophe strikes, according to several witnesses who testified yesterday on the growing threat of extreme weather.

For Johnson and others who are not concerned about the impacts of rising temperatures, it's smart to stop subsidizing development in floodplains, because damage is expected to rise even without climate change -- as more people cluster around shorelines and river valleys. It also saves money.

"I think you can pursue adaptation for all sorts of reasons," said Lindene Patton, chief climate product officer for Zurich Insurance Group, noting that the nation isn't ready for current catastrophes, let alone more serious ones projected for the future. "The current climate suggests that our assets are not sufficiently resilient. So you can have both perspectives" -- that climate change is real or not.

The hearing on extreme weather by the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee coincided with an unusual winter storm creeping north toward Washington from the South, where it coated a path from Alabama to New Jersey, clipping power lines, downing trees and snarling traffic along the way.

While the East Coast and Midwest have struggled with an Arctic cold spell, California is withering under an off-season drought. President Obama is planning to travel to Fresno, Calif., tomorrow to rally federal help for the parched state.

'Catastrophic ... crippling ... paralyzing'

Then there is the rest of the world, which is mostly warmer than North America, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. For example, temperatures at the Winter Olympics are above normal, with Sochi, Russia, reaching 61 degrees Monday, about 10 degrees above average. NOAA said recently that Russia hadn't experienced such warmth in November and December since records began 114 years ago. The temperature was 8 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than average in December.

The collage of weird weather prompted the Natural Resources Defense Council to say yesterday in press release, "In a nutshell, this is what climate change looks like."

Scientists tend to be more circumspect. A single day of weather, or even a year of it, isn't a good measurement of climate change, whose trends are best shown over 30 years or more. But they do say confidently that things like heat waves, rising seas and heavier downpours are already being affected by warmer temperatures.

The wet winter storm sweeping across the Southeast yesterday brought fears of power outages and downed trees, if not predictions of climate catastrophe.

"We could see definitely significant if not historic amounts of freezing rain," said Frank Pereira, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Md.

In Atlanta, which recently suffered a near total shutdown after getting 2 inches of snow, the language used by National Weather Service forecasters was dire.

"This-is-an-event-of-historical-proportions!! Catastrophic ... crippling ... paralyzing ... choose your adjective. This is a very big deal especially from metro Atlanta east along the I-20 corridor. ... In case it hasn't been made clear already ... these are catastrophic and crippling totals which could result in widespread power outages that may last for days."

Nasty, but maybe not climate change

The storm had the potential to be so severe that the U.S. Air Force took the unusual measure of sending a Hurricane Hunter plane into the storm in advance, dropping instruments to get real-time data readings that would help improve the weather forecast. Hurricane Hunters usually only fly into hurricanes or severe winter storms on the West Coast.

The data they collected were fed into National Weather Service computer models in an effort to improve the storm forecast, said Chris Vaccaro, a spokesman with service.

"We are trying to get the best possible handle on this storm," Vaccaro said.

The winter storm was expected to move up the Eastern Seaboard through Friday, dropping significant snow in the interiors of states like Virginia and along the Blue Ridge Mountains. According to the National Weather Service, 11 inches had fallen on Washington, D.C., by 5:46 a.m. today.

While it is not unusual for the Southeast to receive snowfall, ice accumulation amounting to greater than a half-inch or three-quarters of an inch would be unusual, said Charles Konrad, director of NOAA's Southeast Regional Climate Center and a professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

"This might be the kind of ice storm in a lot of places that you might get once every 50 years," Konrad said.

Konrad also pointed out that while the cold start to 2014 might leave folks in the eastern United States wondering about climate change, the fact that the Earth is warming does not mean that there will no longer be cold winters or snowstorms.

"In the context of the atmosphere, there is a lot of natural variability that is going on there. Even though the climate is warming, you are going to have very warm periods and you are going to have cold periods," he said.

As to whether winter storms can be related to climate change, that's a question science is not ready to answer. Climate models continue to struggle with predicting the impacts of climate change on precipitation, particularly at a regional or local scale, Konrad pointed out.

"We are not really at the point where it comes to precipitation that we can make projections with confidence," he said.

Common ground on weather, not climate

But you don't need to be certain about climate change before trying to save taxpayers money, several witnesses said at the Senate hearing yesterday. Insurers say that disasters losses have been climbing for 30 years, as more people cluster around shorelines.

Collin O'Mara, Delaware's secretary of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, said that federal disaster aid can discourage states from protecting themselves from storms. His state has invested in coastal defenses, bolstered building codes and required agencies to account for rising seas. As a result, it experiences less damage -- and gets less federal aid than a state that didn't do those things.

This amounts to "a large subsidy for less responsible communities," he told the committee.

"We need to stop rewarding communities for being ill-prepared. Right now, [Delaware] doesn't see the money after a disaster because our systems work," O'Mara added. "It's just completely crazy."

Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), the committee's chairman, said he held the hearing to find common ground around the cost of being unprepared for catastrophes, whatever their cause.

He said that extreme weather like Superstorm Sandy "appears to be the new norm," and it's costing the government "a boatload of money."

Sen. Johnson, of Wisconsin, didn't mention climate change. But he seemed to agree with the witnesses who urged Congress to rectify federal programs that encourage people to live and build in dangerous places. Among those is the National Flood Insurance Program.

"We need to raise the price for individuals that are building in very risky environments. Correct?" Johnson said to the witnesses. "We don't want to continue to incentivize people to build in areas that are going to flood every year or get wiped out every 10 years."

10. Chrysopsis subulata Small, Man. S.E. Fl. 1338, 1508. 1933.

Scrubland goldenaster

Heterotheca hyssopifolia (Nuttall) R. W. Long var. subulata (Small) R. W. Long

Biennials, 20–70 cm; taprooted (frequently perennating by rosettes produced at bases of old stems and at ends of short lateral rhizomes and roots). Stems 1–5+, erect (sometimes purple-tinged), often much branched proximally, glabrous to sparsely pilose, eglandular. Leaves: basal blades oblanceolate to linear-oblanceolate, (first season leaves) 50–100 × 4–10 mm, faces densely woolly; cauline blades linear-lanceolate to linear, reduced distally, bases tapering to rounded, margins entire, long-piloso-ciliate, often undulate, apices acute, often twisted, faces sparsely pilose. Heads 10–70 in lax corymbiform arrays. Peduncles 1–10 cm (thin), glabrous or glabrate; bracteoles linear-lanceolate (margins ciliate), glabrous or sparsely pilose, sometimes sparsely stipitate-glandular. Involucres campanulate, 8–10 mm. Phyllaries in 4–5 series, linear, 0.6–0.9 mm wide, unequal, apices long-attenuate, rarely acute (some n Florida collections), tips spreading to reflexed, twisted, faces proximally glabrous or sparsely stipitate-glandular. Ray florets 10–28; laminae 5–8(–10) × 1.5–2 mm. Disc florets 30–45; corollas 5–6 mm, lobes ca. 0.5 mm. Cypselae 1.5–2 mm, 6–10-ridged (ridges yellow to dark red-brown, translucent, clavate), weakly ribbed, faces glabrate to sparsely strigose proximally; pappi in 3 series, outer of linear to linear-triangular scales 0.4–1 mm, inner of 20–25 bristles 6–7 mm, inner moderately clavate. 2n = 10.

Flowering (May–)Jul–Aug(–Sep). Sandy open grounds, pine and oak scrub; 10–50 m; Fla.

Chrysopsis subulata is found on the central to northern peninsula. Early blooming plants may have a second blooming flush in October to December with flowering heads on otherwise brown and dried stems or from short new shoots developing from lower nodes.

Plants of Chrysopsis subulata from Alachua County have acute phyllaries rather than long-attenuate and reflexed, but the leaves have long-pilose margins typical of the species. The number of ridges on the cypselae varies from a few red-brown as in C. linearifolia subsp. dressii to covering nearly the entire body.

Amanda Seyfried vs. Anna Paquin: Battle See-Through Tops

Anna Paquin is kind of weird and strange and off-beat, but, at the end of the day, deserves far more lust for her underrated hotness than she receives. Amanda Seyfried, well, hardly underrated, but just one super sexy ghostly hot actress who seems to be taking on sexier and sexier roles in TV and film, and, therefore, obviously reading my ten thousand fan letters begging her to do such. Both girls hit the streets in sheer tops the other day, forming some kind of sextastic triangulation with my dirty mind situated at the vertex, soaking up the sweet angulars on these celebrities. And the winner is…enjoy.

Anyway, you shouldn't be too disappointed, Ellen. Susan might be capable of truly snarky comments, but she's also got that whole "heart of gold under a gruff exterior" dealie going. She probably wouldn't be terribly snarky while watching Christmas specials with someone who'd never seen them before.

Mothers & Daughters & International Women’s Day.

Via on Mar 8, 2013
Source: via Mystify Me on Pinterest
Source: via Mystify Me on Pinterest

It is International Women’s Day.

It’s a day to celebrate being a woman.

Today my Facebook is plastered with inspirational quotes from powerful woman and also sobering statistics that one in every three woman will be sexually abused in her lifetime.

As I meet my yoga mat, I ask myself what does it mean to be a woman.

Today it means that I allow my yoga to meet me exactly where I am in the moment. Instead of trying to control my yoga practice, I become open to tuning in and listening to my body and letting my yoga practice be more intuitive and spontaneous. Trusting that the poses I find myself in are exactly the ones I need.

Sometimes my biggest fear is that my yoga practice will become too soft and I might lose a yoga pose that is dear to me. Such as bow or side crow

When my daughter, who is now 16, was a preteen, I remember looking over at her while I was driving her somewhere and her presence gave me reason to pause. I couldn’t stop looking at her, taking her in. If I could have eaten her up in that moment, I would have. Sometimes I let myself get too busy to see those that matter the most. In that instant, for reasons that I cannot quiet identify, I looked over and saw her. I mean I truly saw who she was: her loveliness and her absolute beauty that came from somewhere vast and open. I saw her vulnerability and I felt her strength. She was and is magnificent.

In that moment I knew it would not be long before her absolute trust in me will be gone for a while. Not just me, but maybe even the world in general.

Yoga BarbiesIn my opinion, our daughters (and us when we were this age) get far too many messages that they are just a body, a Barbie doll to be clothed, a sex object. All of these messages begin to register right around the time our daughters are getting their periods. This is the time that many girls, for the first time, experience depression and hopelessness, anger and self-esteem issues. Eating disorders, body image disorders, and God knows what else. They are on the cusp of new and raw emotions coupled with the realization that society’s values are askew and, unless they are sexually powerful, our daughters are rendered powerless.

I wanted to hold my daughter steady. I wanted her to know the truth of who she is-talented, kind, courageous, beautiful, and wise. Messages will bombard her telling her otherwise. I want to keep her safe from the world and its oppression of women. But I know I can’t keep her safely in my sight at all times. I am going to have to let her go. She is going to need to individuate and learn how to be in this world without me holding her hand or suffocating her.

A wise female friend put it to me like this

“As mothers, we need to be like a swimming pool. We need to have strong sides so that when our daughters need to kick off of us, we are there to support that.”

The message comes to me: boundaries matter.

A strong container matters as well. As a mother, my sense of self, body image, and my own identity needs to be strong. But I also feel it is important to be soft and yielding as well. Isn’t this the feminine aspect that is so much needed to balance out our patriarchal society?

Trust in the qualities of patience, love, and tenderness.

This brings me back to my practice of letting the yoga meet me exactly where I am in the moment. I need a bit of folding inward and letting my love flow outward. I am a rag doll, forward fold, an exhale.

I am attracted to the poses that reveal the surrender.

My daughter is now 16 and I have had to surrender to the emergence of her as a young woman with more autonomy in this oftentimes harsh and careless world but it will not be without offering my own self as the container to which she can return to for both strength and comfort. I ask that nothing keeps me away from that.

Item Description
Customer Reviews
Ask & Answer
You've heard the expression, "quality, not quantity," right? It's a wonderful sentiment, but sometimes you really do need quantity. If you've got an ATV or large yard equipment to store a five by five storage building, no matter how well-made, is not going to cut it. Fortunately, it's not nearly as hard as you think to find outdoor storage that can satisfy your quality and quantity requirements. An Arrow Vinyl Murryhill 12 x 24 Premium Outdoor Storage Shed, with its large interior and solid construction, is a great choice for those with large-scale storage needs.

Balanced Performance

If you're concerned with maximizing your space, capacity is naturally going to be your primary focus, and with 2,037 cu. ft. to offer this Murryhill is definitely spacious. But it's also important to consider other characteristics, such as ease of use. This shed's two wide doors make accessing even oversized belongings simple. The wall height - almost seventy-four inches in this case - is also key in determining how convenient a building is to use. Maneuvering tall objects and just standing can be difficult if the ceiling is too low.

And, of course, you have to consider a shed's construction. This Murryhill's hot-dipped galvanized steel frame, premium vinyl coating, and stabilizing mid-wall brace give it excellent weather resistance. It can handle extreme wind, rain, and snow without a problem. You won't even have to do much in order to keep this building in good condition; maintenance is as simple as performing the occasional cleaning and waxing.

Big Doesn't Mean Big Deal

Trying to find an outdoor storage building that is both spacious and reliable can be a daunting task. Just remember that you do have options. An Arrow Vinyl Murryhill 12 x 24 Premium Outdoor Storage Shed can provide you with the space you need and the confidence that your valuables are properly protected.

* Please check local building codes and CC&Rs for any restrictions related to installing an outdoor structure or to see if a building permit is required.

Metal Is Flimsy, Plenty of Space
October 22, 2013
The storage you get from the shed is great. Check to make sure that holes are drilled correctly and have a cordless drill ready to fix any that are not. The parts could be thicker as the metal feels very flimsy, and it might have been easier building a wood shed.

Instructions Need Rewrite; 12x10 Not True Size
July 6, 2013
My overall view of the shed would have to be mediocre. Reading through the manual several times would definitely be recommended before you start construction. Also, check to make sure that you have all the parts and screws for the project beforehand as I didn't have some of the nuts, bolts, etc. that are supposed to come with it (although major pieces were there). When you actually start assembling the shed keep in mind that the panels are thin so windy weather is something you should try to avoid when you pick a day for assembly. One thing to keep in mind when planning where to put your shed is that the 12-by-10 size also includes the edge of the roof around the shed, so although it will fit in a 12-by-10 area you won't get that amount of storage space (the base will be smaller because of this). The manual also only refers to a type of shed and not this specifically sized model.

Assembly Fairly Quick, Manual Needs Improvement
January 29, 2013
Once you have the floor ready the shed should only take two days or so to put together. The directions can be kind of hard to understand as they aren't very specific, and the illustrations need to be better.

Good Deal, Manual Needs Revision
December 3, 2012
The roll up door for this model is excellent and really facilitates ease-of-use. I wasted some time looking for parts that the manual said that I needed, but it turned out that the manual is for this style of shed but different sizes, so that could have been clearer. Definitely have two people working on it (although one person can do it if they have handyman skills) as things will be much easier with an extra set of hands. The screw holes may not line up perfectly and some parts seem a little flimsy, but I definitely think this shed is a great deal and works well.

Great Product, Excited to Use It
September 4, 2012
Definitely close to a five star product. It feels very strong when completed. I would keep several weekends free to make sure you have time to build it and it helps if you are handy with a simple tools and power tools. Without the sealer that it comes with the building would definitely not be weather-proof, but the sealer does its job. Check the parts beforehand to make sure you have all the little pieces, but a local store should have it if you run out. If you have free shipping make sure you talk with the store you order it from (they might not have it down). I'm excited that I'm going to rebuild a Corvette in this building.

Difficult Assembly Because of Horrible Directions
February 15, 2012
The manual was unclear and had a real lack of detail. It should really have something better that shows you how to do it instead of just telling you what to do with unclear pictures. Some of the pictures seemed to contradict each other, so the instructions definitely need some improvement. Don't do this alone (I recommend three people) or else you will find it impossible to build it. The pieces are very flimsy and can be damaged very easily. The assembly is definitely difficult.

VT 1217 shed
October 30, 2011
Had help to construct and am glad I did. Well built shed but difficult to erect
Good size and well constructed.
Square nuts provided were iffy. Some fit and some didn't. Screws for the exterior were a total disaster. Would be better if washers were attached to the screws. Would make erection quicker. Erecting garage door, I found pieces missing. I know one thing, the pad has to be level and square. This is a must.

Excellent in Every Way
August 31, 2011
I have to give this shed top marks in every way. Cost is great, it is sturdy and looks good, and is simple to build. This shed has lasted me a long time and the only reason that it needed to be replaced was because a small tornado pushed a seventy five foot tree down on top of it. Even then it protected everything inside and didn't collapse after the tree hit. Unfortunately the tree cause enough damage that I needed to get a new one. The order for a new unit came straight to my house within days of me placing the order at Home Depot. It took about five days for us to build the building with two people working on it. This unit is definitely more sturdy than other tin sheds you can buy on the market. I am putting the shed on the same base as the last building (concrete slab), and expect this one to last just as long.

Flimsy, Would Probably Get a Different One
June 12, 2011
The pieces of the shed feel weak overall and can be damaged with a relatively light impact. It was extremely windy (85mph) about a week after I bought it, and it was so damaged it had to be taken down. I built it without any help (I would recommend getting help) and it took four days to do so. The build was okay when you make sure to follow the manual and don't try to do things too quickly, although I would probably put out the money for another type of building.

It was a pleasure to deal with Elitedeals. The price of the Arrow 10'X12' ARROW Shed was reasonable and fair. Once the building arrived, dealing with Arrow was hassle free and most friendly. I Highly recommend Elitedeals & Arrow Buildings. JM

110% Satisfied!
May 23, 2010
My wife and I are extremely satisfied with this building. It has stayed strong through many storms (where it has served as a passing place to sleep), and it was a great experience putting it together. My suggestion would be to get a professional to put it together (even though I put it together myself). It was exactly what I was looking for to store all my garden tools and to house my fishing gear (my Fisherman's Nook is my nickname for it). Not only that, but after all gear and tools there was still plenty of room for items from the house. This building will satisfy any need that you have. I didn't even expect this to be such an excellent investment, so I just got the most inexpensive building I could find to store my stuff in. I definitely got much more than I paid for in this excellent quality shed. I can definitely say that this is one of the happiest purchases I have made in a long time and would recommend this building to others.

Lasted Great
April 3, 2010
After more than 15 years of use (I got it in January of 1995) I would say that I'd get it again if I had it to do over. The only problem I had was some rust on the roof panels, but I already plan on buying new ones and putting them on the body of the old shed. The rust happened 16 years after I bought it so I just missed the 15 year rust-through protection warranty that came with the building.

Shed is Great, Customer Service Could Be Better
June 17, 2009
I was pleased with the final quality of this shed. Ten hours was all we needed with a couple people working on it, but we found it easier with two cordless drills. I came with everything we needed, but the door to the shed was damaged while being shipped so we had to get a new one (they sent it no problem in four days or so). The only negative things were that the instructions were for any sized shed of this model and so were somewhat unclear with certain parts of the door assembly. Also, we eventually had to put the damaged door out on the road to be picked up even though customer service said two times that they would get a truck out as quickly as possible. I have no problem with the shed itself, works great.

Good Construction, Better Instructions
March 9, 2009
While the shed did its job exactly as we needed it to (and is very rugged after being hooked on a concrete pad), I would only rate it mediocre because of some problems we had during assembly. Don't try to put the shed together with only one person or you won't get anywhere. Three people would probably be best if your looking to get things done fast, but you could probably do it with two. The biggest problem we had with the shed assembly was with the roof trusses (we think they packed trusses for the wrong model in the shipment we received). After we checked to make sure all the siding was lining up exactly along the side of the building and made sure that we hadn't incorrectly laid out the railing on the floor, we noticed that there was about 1 inches too much of material on the end. Thankfully we had a band saw to cut the trusses down to length quickly and easily, but had we not had them at work it probably would have been a bigger deal. We also ended up having to re-drill some of the holes that the panels were suppose to mount too. Other than that the manual was a little hard to understand (sometimes we needed to go back and change something we had put in the wrong place), but it wasn't usually anything serious and with some proper formatting and better illustrations it would be much easier to read. As I said the construction seems solid (except for sliding door) and we are impressed with the quality of the main door. Overall, knowing how to make quick changes while putting stuff like this together it should make it easier.

Good quality for a steel shed.
November 30, -0001
If you are looking for an ultra-sturdy shed that will withstand banging things into the walls, setting things against the walls, this shed probably isn't for you. It's rather flimsy, but fairly solid once it's erected. My neighbor insisted I could have built a much bigger building for the same price using wood, but I don't know. There is no hassle, everything comes packaged together, just follow the instructions and you're done. I built a couple of other metal storage sheds, so by the time I was ready to build this one, I knew what to do and it went really quick. Using some redneck engineering, I was able to assemble it myself, even when installing the truss. You definitely should have a second person for this. I have it anchored to a concrete slab and use it for storing my lawn tractor, snow blower and garden tools. It's perfect for that. You could easily use it as a garage for a car or maybe even a small truck. I expected the vinyl-coated steel to feel much heavier and durable than other steel sheds, but it seemed about the same. However, it seems to be much more resistant to scratching. Just be careful when assembling it because you can easily bend and crease the panels.
Easy to install, scratch resistant, weather resistant, fairly sturdy once assembled.
The side door SUCKS and is really difficult to open. I can't get it balance just right so that it will open easily.

3 A Zumba Class, A Wedding, A Miracle, and A Melon Salad

Luckily, our fridge was fixed a couple hours after we called the repair man and that meant that I could get on the road to see some sweet college friends! It was great to lounge and just catch up!
Saturday morning, Jenni had a Zumba instructor come to her house to have a class for us!
It was SO fun and was a great workout! Definitely something that I will want to do at our next girl's weekend! I had to leave our girl's weekend early to get back for one of my oldest friend's wedding Saturday night. It was a beautiful wedding and reception but one quote the pastor said really stood out to me, "When their lives are done let us find them as they are now, hand in hand."
This song was also sang at their wedding and I. LOVED. IT!

Another thing that happened this weekend was a miracle for Macy.
In my friend, Casey's, words,
"Today was like any other day.
My kiddos often fall asleep in the car and I have gotten really good at bringing them in asleep. I parked, left the car running...brought them in, came back shut the front door of the car/ turned off the keys. Then I went around to our tahoe and shut Aiden's door. While I was moving the kids inside our dog Macy must have jumped in (she loves to "go" and climbed in the very back where I couldn't see her when closing up the doors. I came inside and assumed the puppies were both in sleeping with Aiden, this is usually what they do while A is napping and
why I didnt walk in to double check, I will never know.
Today in Texas was a record heat day, the temperature hit 110 and
our sweet dog Macy was trapped in our car for 3 1/2 hours.
 I really will never get over the next 30 minutes of events...finding her, dragging her to the middle of the yard, unable to move/ respond/walk, eyes rolling back in her head... hosing her down...laying on her, screaming Im sorry over and over and begging her to stay alive. We cooled her temperature down enough, wrapped her in cold/wet towels both crying and took her to the nearest pet hospital. . .
They immediately put her on iv and started running tests. Later in the evening she said that she has been researching for an hour about this because it is literally impossible for Macy to have lived this long...shes never seen a dog last longer than 45 minutes in situations much cooler."
Due to an ABSOLUTE miracle, Macy came home that same night with a bag full of medicine and wanted to play outside as soon as she got home.God is good. All the time.
And the last little thing I want to share with you from this weekend is a delicious salad.
There is a farmers market that I love to go to . . .
And this weekend I had MELONS on my mind. . .
A beautiful melon salad is the perfect first course to a summer meal! Just use a melon baller and fill a small cup with honeydew, cantaloupe and watermelon!
Pin It!

  1. zumba is so much fun and such a great workout! glad you had a great weekend and I am so thankful for the miracle the Casey witnessed this weekend. She is such a sweet heart.

  2. Oh that story gives me the chills, but I'm so glad she is okay! This is a great reminder to all of us doggie parents out there!

  3. Thank goodness that she is okay!

Estée Lauder has a new face: 23-year-old Arizona Muse, who joins a spokesmodel stable that already includes Carolyn Murphy, Hilary Rhoda, Constance Jablonski, Liu Wen, Joan Smalls, and Elizabeth Hurley.

"Arizona is a true beauty and a great complement to our other spokespeople," Aerin Lauder, the brand's style and image director, told WWD. "She is perfect for the brand — she is warm, elegant and personable. She can represent skin care, fragrance and makeup equally well. She is truly a modern Estée Lauder woman."

Muse, who learned the news during Paris Fashion Week, calls her new role "a monumental honor." She recalls: "I walked into my hotel room and found an enormous bouquet of flowers from Lauder welcoming me to the brand. It was such a great way to finish fashion week."

Although she hasn't yet been photographed for any Estée Lauder advertising, Muse, who was signed for skin care, makeup, and fragrance, is expected to appear in her first images within the next year.

The plane carrying Vittorio Missoni, the head of the Missoni family business, and his wife Maurizia Castiglioni, went missing on Friday in Venezuela, WWD reports. The plane disappeared off the radar.

The single engine plane—which had two other passengers and two pilots—was headed to the Simon Bolivar International airport in Maiquetia. The plane is currently being searched for. Luca, Missoni's younger brother who helps run the brand, traveled to Venezuela to take part in the search efforts, according to ABC. The New York Times reports that the other family members have congregated to a villa near the company headquarters in Sumirago, Italy. While the offices are closed in Milan, an employee who wishes to remain anonymous is answering phones, "because a lot of employees are calling to get information, but we have very little news to tell them."

"The small plane they were traveling on has disappeared. This is all the information currently available," the company released in a statement to WWD. "We are relying on the work of the Farnesina [Italy's Ministry of Foreign Affairs] and all the institutions involved, to whom we are grateful for the prompt activities in the research. As more information becomes available the company will issue further statements."

While the rescue teams have continued to search tirelessly, the plane and its passengers are still missing.

Despite this trying time, the Missoni family remains hopeful. As reported by the Telegraph via La Repubblica, Vittorio Missoni's sister, Angela—who also serves as chief designer of the fashion house—opened up in an interview.

"Our hope is that he is still alive," she said. "We want to hope, because for us it is important. I think in a moment difficult like this one, any family would desire what we would like: respect for our privacy."

We'll continue to update as more news develops.

EC-12 Math

Students need to be empowered with mathematical literacy so they can value mathematics, reason and communicate mathematically, and become math problem solvers. Students need to make connections within mathematics, between mathematics and other disciplines, and between math and the real world. As students develop mathematical skills, it is important that they experience the enjoyment and fascination of mathematics, as well as the challenge of higher level mathematics.

The District 205 program is designed to help all students progress in mathematics. The importance of mathematics is independent of a student’s gender, ethnic origin, or socioeconomic status. All students need to develop number sense and an understanding of patterns and relationships. They also need a working knowledge of measurement, statistics, probability, geometry, algebra, estimation, and the ability to solve routine and non-routine problems. There is emphasis on concept building and problem solving with appropriate use of facts and definitions, algorithms, and technology.

GECU Kinleys
Lorraine and Kinley Pon stand inside GECU & Kinley's Tea House which celebrated it's grand opening on Monday. (Vanessa Monsisvais / El Paso Times)
›› Photos: GECU & Kinley's Tea House grand opening

Kinley Pon said he was driving down Airway in late 2011 when he saw GECU's headquarters in front of him, and the idea came to him.

The idea was to get GECU, El Paso's largest credit union, to put a branch inside a tea house he was planning for a property he had purchased just behind his coffee house on North Mesa, on the edge of the UTEP campus.

Vic Kolenc

"While working with young people (at the coffee house), I find their problem is money. They live on a day-to-day basis," said Pon, 58, who 10 years ago opened Kinley's Coffee House & Teas. "I got the concept (that day on Airway) of putting a financial institution with the tea house" as a way to help educate college students and other young people about finances, he said. He had been praying for guidance about what to do with the building he had bought, and he took this as the answer, he said.

He left his business card with a security guard at the GECU building. He jotted on back of the card that he had an idea that could help get young people to join the credit union, and if GECU officials were interested, to call him. They did.

That led to the new GECU & Kinley's Tea House at 2208 N. Oregon, near University. The grand opening was held Monday.

"He literally came in and knocked on our door," said Crystal Long, GECU president and chief executive officer. "We were very intrigued by the idea. She didn't know Pon previously, but "had no doubt that it was a great idea to pursue. We really liked the close proximity to the UTEP campus. It was a way to endear ourselves to young people," she said.

The question was "how to make it work. It was a new concept," Long said.

Long has not seen similar partnerships in the United States, she said. But Pon said financial institutions mixed with tea houses and restaurants are common in Asia, especially Hong Kong.

GECU officials toured Pon's coffee house, and then the partners hammered out a business plan for the new venture. GECU constructed the 3,300 square-foot, two-story building where another credit union building had once stood. Long would not divulge the cost of the project, but, she said, Pon also paid some of the costs. Pon owns the building, and GECU leases space in it.

Pon's tea house dominates the ultramodern building with a large ground-floor tea bar and seating area. GECU's automated teller machines and a small office with a virtual loan officer are at one end of the ground floor.

This is the third GECU branch using the automated Personal Teller Machine technology. About five GECU employees work in the tea house branch, and a GECU employee greets people at the door. The tea house has 12 employees and eventually will have 20 employees, Pon said.

Long said the partnership is already paying off because GECU has opened many new accounts since the tea house credit union had its soft opening about two weeks ago.

Pon said he believes his two businesses can succeed even though they are only a stone throw apart. He calls it the "Kinley campus."

"The two atmospheres are different," Kinley said last week while sitting in the second-floor lounge and meeting space in the new tea house. The room will be used for GECU financial seminars, he noted.

"This is more hip, cheery, and bright" with large windows, he said. "The coffee house is darker, more eclectic, more warm."

The coffee house, which also serves some teas, focuses on coffee, while the tea house is focused on specialty, Asian teas and some unique GreeNoodle dishes, he said. Customers are free to bring drinks from one place to the other, Pon said.

Kinley's Tea House buys tea for about $50 to $200 a pound, Pon said. Teas sell for $3 to $12.50. A pot of tea is $6. Food, including noodle soups and noodle salads, sells for $6.95 to $7.65 a dish.

Pon, who said he has a religion degree from Baylor and a computer science degree from UTEP, said he was a software engineer for about 25 years. Prior to that career, he was a minister for a while, he said.

"It was not the ministry God wanted me to have. He wanted me to minister to these kids" at UTEP, and that's done through the coffee and tea shops, he said.

›› Photos: El Paso-area high school football playoffs

The Chapin High School football team wrapped up its second consecutive undefeated season against El Paso teams in style on Thursday night.

The fourth-ranked Huskies put together their most complete game of the season and spoiled No. 8 Hanks' return to the playoffs with an impressive 57-21 victory at Irvin Memorial Stadium.

Chapin gashed the Knights offensively and played suffocating defense to take the Class 4A Division I bi-district championship, the school's fourth under coach Rene Hernandez.

Evan Mohl

The Huskies advance to the area round to face Amarillo Nov. 24 in Midland.

"That felt good," Chapin linebacker Max Flores said. "It felt like we were all on the same page, all performing at our peaks.

"It came at the right time."

The Huskies offense played close to flawless football. They ran right over, around and through a Hanks defense that appeared no match for a brutal and physical smashmouth ground attack.

Chapin (10-1) scored on its first five possessions and seven of its first eight. The only thing that stopped the Huskies offense was the horn, signaling halftime.

"Great performance," Hernandez said.

Good field position helped the Huskies. They started on Hanks' side of the field the first three possessions.

Two penalties and a 9-yard punt by the Knights turned into Geremiah Satele's first of three running touchdowns. Max Flores' interception led to Seth Gonzales' 9-yard pass to Ricky Williams, one of three times they connected for scores in the first half. A failed onside kick allowed Gonzales to throw a 48-yard strike to Jaylan Addison as time expired in the first quarter for a 21-7 lead.

Hanks (8-3) would never get closer as the Chapin running game took over. The offensive line of Joey Valadez, Anthony Newberry, Beto Labrado, Matthew Carey and Joseph Iglesias opened up gaping holes for Satele and Williams.

"It was all the line," Satele said.

Satele averaged 14 yards a carry in the first half on his way to a 198-yard night. Williams added a fourth touchdown and had 100 total yards. Chapin racked up 274 rushing yards.

"Those guys ran like men," Newberry added.

Flores also got a safety, while the Chapin defense -- despite being susceptible to the pass as Hanks' Patrick Pettis racked up 117 receiving yards -- held the Knights scoreless for nearly 22 minutes.

The Huskies had six sacks (Dominique Dalton had two) and didn't punt until 30 seconds left in the third when backups came in.

"Great start to the playoffs," Satele said. "Hopefully, we can keep this going."

His coach agreed.

"These guys, they just really impressed me tonight," Hernandez said with a smile. "They turned in one of their best performances of the season. I'm really proud."

Reinventing Lean book cover

Reinventing Lean

Introducing Lean Management into the Supply Chain

Most books on Supply Chain Management simply focus on how to move materials and key resources throughout an industrial enterprise. Reinventing Lean shows how SCM can be made âLean,â leading to much more reliable, cost-effective and competitive Supply Chain Managementâ (SCM). In this book, the reader will find a collection of management tools that will help to implement Lean principles, and to understand the components of an integrated Supply Chain Management system. Moreover, the book will show that to make Lean SCM effective, both the functional management tools as well as an enterprise-wide cultural readiness are needed in order to lay the groundwork for a World Class Lean Supply Chain.Reinventing Lean will carefully lead engineers and manufacturing managers on how to adopt a cutting-edge Lean Supply Chain strategy. The book will lay out various proven approaches to incorporating Lean and SCM practices, by focusing on the ways in which SCM relates to materials, money, and information movement within the manufacturing environment. And because Reinventing Lean recognizes that a successful Lean SCM system cannot be achieved unless an organization supports team integration and the willingness to adapt to change, it provides not only the technical tools but also methods for changing company cultural factors that can make it all come together for a successful operation.

Multichannel Retailers Upgrade, but Not to Mobile

Four in five have no mobile presence

April 15, 2010 | Retail & Ecommerce

Website redesigns are in the cards for about two-thirds of multichannel retailers, according to the “Outlook 2010: E-Commerce” survey from Multichannel Merchant. Online retailers are looking to refresh their look and improve search engine optimization, navigation and conversion rates.

They are also looking to add more advanced features, such as social media tools, video, forums and personalized recommendations. Mobile, though, is barely on the horizon for most survey respondents.

Four in five US multichannel retailers polled said they were not using any mobile commerce functionality in February 2010. The most common m-commerce application in use was mobile advertising, and just 6.5% of respondents had a mobile site. Slightly fewer had an iPhone app.

M-Commerce Features Offered by US Multichannel Retailers, February 2010 (% of respondents)

The report suggested that retailers could be put off investing in mobile by carriers’ failure to keep up with consumer demand for mobile data service.

Consumers, though they are avid cross-channel shoppers, have only embraced mobile browsing and purchasing on a small scale. Three-quarters of respondents to ATG’s “Cross-Channel Commerce: The Consumer View” survey said they never researched products on their handsets in Q4 2009.

Frequency with Which US Internet Users Browse and Purchase Products/Services* on a Mobile Device, Q4 2009 (% of respondents)

According to Forrester Research, 25% of US online retailers are planning at least some mobile features for 2010, compared with just 4% in 2009. North American retail executives told RIS in January 2010 that they hoped to increase customer engagement through m-commerce by serving consumers the way they want to be served.

Microchip Technology Released SMSC JukeBlox Wi-Fi Connectivity Platform

Microchip Technology SMSC JukeBlox Wi-Fi connectivity platform

Microchip Technology released the next generation SMSC JukeBlox Wi-Fi connectivity platform. The product includes the JukeBlox 3.1-AAP Software Development Kit (SDK) and the new CX875 Wi-Fi Network Media Module. Samples of the CX875 with JB3.1-AAP are available now. Production orders will be accepted in December 2012. Production pricing for the CX875 with JB3.1-AAP is $15.50 each (in quantities of 25,000 units per year).

The JukeBlox platform offers highly integrated and specialized connectivity software along with a cost-optimized and fully certified CX875 Wi-Fi module. It features the new, low-cost DM875 Network Media Processor and 8 MB of SDRAM. The platform can reduce BOM costs by up to 20%. The JukeBlox platform enables a new category of AirPlay compatible wireless audio streaming systems with retail pricing down to $149.

Enhancements to Microchip’s JB Connect simplified Wi-Fi network setup technology, along with the easy network setup features in Apple’s iOS, make this JukeBlox technology expansion the easiest and most user-friendly solution for designing AirPlay products to date. The easy setup, in conjunction with improvements to Wi-Fi performance and system boot-up times, makes Wi-Fi streaming even more robust and improves the overall user experience. JukeBlox seamlessly supports the new iOS 6 and iPhone 5.

SMSC JukeBlox Wi-Fi Connectivity Platform

CX875 Wi-Fi Network Media Module
The module is based on the new, low-cost SMSC DM875 Wi-Fi Network Media Processor. The triple-core processor includes an integrated DSP and, with the new JB DSP 2.0 software, can provide added digital-signal-processing performance for enhanced audio capabilities. Refinements to the JB Fast Boot feature typically reduce boot-up times from a full power-down state to “ready and connected” within 5-10 seconds. The complete Wi-Fi certified module solution enables lower-risk development, easier manufacturing and faster time to market, via the combination of a fully integrated Wi-Fi and RF subsystem, and many industry-standard pre-certifications.

JB3.1-AAP SDK Software
The SDK will also run on the current CX870 series modules, as well as on the previously announced Manufacturing Kit 2 (MK2), which is a fully integrated, low-cost Wi-Fi speaker dock reference-design platform. The comprehensive JB3.1-AAP SDK offers improved application programming interfaces (APIs), along with tools to simplify product development and customization efforts. Many of the new JB3.1 features can be leveraged via software changes, further extending customer investments in existing product platforms. The SDK offers core libraries that address higher software layers, middleware for media streaming, content access, navigation and system control, configuration files for remote-control functions and more.

Crohn Disease (cont.)

Crohn's Disease Surgery

Patient Comments

The most widely used operation in Crohn's disease is removing the diseased part of the intestine. Surgery is usually necessary in people who have intestinal obstruction or very severe symptoms that are not relieved by medication. It can improve the condition, but it does not cure it. Surgery also may be necessary for an abscess or certain types of fistula.

People who have part of their bowel removed may require an ostomy. The normal bowel is attached to an opening in the lower abdomen called a stoma. Feces are no longer passed from the body through the rectum and anus, but through this stoma. An ostomy bag is worn on the outside of the body to collect the waste. The ostomy often is called by which part of the bowel is attached, such as colostomy or ileostomy.

Crohn's disease recurs frequently after surgery. If a part of the bowel is removed, the recurrence often occurs at the place where the diseased bowel was cut in the operation. Hence careful follow-up after surgery is important, even when the patient feels well, to detect early signs of recurrence. Patients may have to continue treatment even after surgery to help in reducing the rate of recurrence of Crohn's disease.

People who have part of their small intestine removed may experience a complication known as short bowel syndrome. Ironically, the symptoms of short bowel syndrome often are similar to those of Crohn's disease. This complication is now uncommon with modern surgery.

Patients who have had large portions of their intestine removed often need to rely on intravenous nutrition (total parenteral nutrition, or TPN) for the rest of their lives.

The Doors - Alabama Song

Released in 1967. Originally written as part of the 1927 opera Rise And Fall Of The City Of Mahagonny.

“Right back at the start, when we were first talking about the film, I said to Simon, ‘We have to use Alabama Song!’ Because the lyrics go: ‘Show me the way to the next whiskey bar/ Oh, don’t ask why/ For if we don’t find the next whiskey bar/ I tell you we must die.’ That pretty much sums up the plot! And the line ‘Oh, don’t ask why’ also addresses the question as to why the characters don’t just get the fuck out of Newton Haven.

“The first version of the song was by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, but I became aware of it through the David Bowie version. We actually tried to use Bowie’s take in the film at one point, but it was too intense. And The Doors’ version has got that amazing, almost polka-like feeling to it, while still being deeply sinister. The late, great Ray Manzarek’s keyboard playing on it is so great. It sounds like a creepy circus tune.

“I was worried that This Is The End might use The End by The Doors, which they didn’t. And we were anxious for a while that we wouldn’t be able to afford the song: every time we’d show the scene, people would say, ‘The Doors? Forget it. You’ll have to find an alternative.’ But eventually we realised it had to be in there.
“The montage that Alabama Song plays over was timed very carefully to the music. We had it playing on set, so the actors were walking in step to it and drinking in time to it as well. It’s not easy. I’d like you in the Empire office to try drinking a whole pint in time to the middle eight of Alabama Song — it’s really difficult!”

JJ Abrams & Steven Spielberg On Super 8
World exclusive: of kids & monsters

26 May 2011  |  Written by Helen O'Hara

submit to reddit

We're not allowed to tell you what we think of Super 8 yet, so we can't, for example, tell you that it is best summed up by a word that rhymes with "schwawesome". But we can bring you this world exclusive interview with the film's producer, Steven Spielberg, and director JJ Abrams.

Super 8 is a 1970s-set thrilller wherein a group of teenage filmmakers witness a devastating train crash - only to learn that there may be even more destructive forces threatening their town. It's been shrouded in secrecy to date, but just a few hints of what's in store are now beginning to emerge.

The world's greatest director/producer (and former Empire editor) and once-and-future Star Trek director discuss the origins of the project in this clip, as well as their own memories of childhood filmmaking (which informs both the plot and the title), the experience of watching movies underage and their work on creating the ultimate monster.

Our Ian Freer did the interview at a top-secret location yesterday, so this is hot-off-the-presses stuff. Super 8 is out on August 5, and again, we are not yet allowed to use any words like "stunning" or "beautifully crafted" to describe it. There's more on Super 8 in the new issue of Empire, out today.
