ASBMB members in the spotlight this month include Carolyn Bertozzi, Charleen T. Chu, Catherine C. Fenselau, Joanne Stubbe, Christopher T. Walsh and Alexander Varshavsky.
Carolyn Bertozzi, T. Z. and Irmgard Chu distinguished professor of chemistry and professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley, has been awarded the 2010 Lemelson-Massachusetts Institute of Technology Prize. She accepted the prize and presented her research at MIT during the Lemelson-MIT Program's fourth annual EurekaFest this past June.
Bertozzi's research interests lie at the intersection of chemistry and biology, with a particular focus on understanding the relationship of cell surface glycosylation to normal cell function and to human disease. Bertozzi has designed experiments that have contributed to the way in which researchers can profile changes in cell-surface glycosylation associated with cancer, inflammation and bacterial infection. She is most noted for her pioneering work in the field of bioorthogonal chemistry on living systems.
In addition to her Berkeley appointment, Bertozzi is an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and director of the Molecular Foundry, a nanoscience institute at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Charleen T. Chu, associate professor of neuropathology in the pathology department at the University of Pittsburgh, is the 2010 winner of the American Society for Investigative Pathology Outstanding Investigator Award. The award recognizes mid-career investigators with demonstrated excellence in research in experimental pathology. Chu presented her award lecture titled "Parkinson's Disease: Converging Insights from Toxin and Genetic Models" at the Experimental Biology 2010 in Anaheim, Calif.
Chu studies the role of kinases in age-related neurodegenerative diseases with an emphasis on mitochondrial dysfunction and macroautophagy. Her work highlights the dual role of autophagy in neuronal injury. While autophagy reduces cell death by eliminating damaged mitochondria, it also elicits retraction and simplification of the neuritic arbor in multiple toxin and genetic Parkinson's disease models. Her laboratory's discovery of a novel phosphorylation site on the autophagy mediator LC3, which prevents neurite shortening, offers a potential mechanism by which neuroprotective kinases act to restore anabolic-catabolic balance.
Chu's other recent honors include induction to the American Society for Clinical Investigation and the 2010 Carnegie Science Award for Emerging Female Scientist, which recognizes a scientific leader whose cutting-edge work is inspiring change in math, science or technology.
Catherine C. Fenselau, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Maryland, received the Ralph N. Adams Award in Bioanalytical Chemistry from Pittcon and the Friends of Ralph N. Adams this past spring. The recently established award honors Ralph Adams, a visionary researcher and pioneer in the application of advanced analytical methods to study state-of-the-art biomedical problems.
Fenselau's research focuses on developing proteomic strategies for the analysis of changes in proteins in human cancer cells. She also explores mass-spectrometry-based methods for the rapid analysis of airborne microorganisms.
"The decision to give this award to me reflects the importance of mass spectrometry in biomedical research, its significant past contributions and its huge potential for critical future discoveries," said Fenselau. "Mass spectrometry currently is the most rapidly evolving analytical technology, a claim supported by the award of the Nobel Prize to two mass spectroscopists in 2002, and most of us believe that 'you ain't seen nothing yet.'"
Pittcon is an annual conference organized by the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy, a Pennsylvania not-for-profit educational corporation comprised of the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh and the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh.
Joanne Stubbe, Novartis professor of chemistry and biology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Christopher T. Walsh, Hamilton Kuhn professor at Harvard Medical School, are the recipients of the 2010 Welch Award in Chemistry.
"These two scientists, longtime friends who share a passion for knowledge, have made hugely important contributions to our understanding of the chemistry of biological functions in the enzymes that make life possible. Their work has led to new therapeutic treatments, including new antibiotics and new cancer treatments, among other advances that improve the quality of life," said Ernest H. Cockrell, chair of The Welch Foundation.
Stubbe has focused most of her career studying the mechanisms of enzymes involved in nucleotide metabolism, central to the biosynthesis of DNA and RNA. Her success in unraveling the specific steps in enzymatic reactions over the past four decades has had profound impacts on fields ranging from cancer drug development to synthesis of biodegradable plastics.
Walsh's primary focus is on understanding the mechanisms by which enzymes bring about chemical transformations in biological systems. His group currently is exploring the biosynthesis of natural product antibiotics and the chemical logic and enzymatic machinery of how they are made in order to identify new antibiotics, antitumor agents and immunosuppressants and to improve the efficiency of production.
Alexander Varshavsky, the Howard and Gwen Laurie Smits professor of cell biology at the California Institute of Technology, has won the 2010 Vilcek Prize for Biomedical Science for elucidating the process and biological significance of regulated protein degradation in living cells.
The Vilcek Prize has been awarded annually since 2006 to an established biomedical scientist whose work profoundly has advanced science over the course of his or her career. Varshavsky's research on ubiquitin led to the discovery of its fundamentally important biological functions in living cells, showing that regulated protein degradation underlies major physiological processes. His laboratory continues to study ubiquitin-dependent processes, with a focus on the N-end rule pathway of protein degradation which relates the in vivo half-life of a protein to the identity of its N-terminal residue.
According to the Vilcek Foundation, "As a pioneer and leader in the field of ubiquitin research who has ushered it into the age of molecular genetics, Dr. Varshavsky also has helped establish this field as one of the most important and 'ubiquitous' in biomedical science, a point of convergence for disparate disciplines."
This past spring, six American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology members were among the 13 faculty members from around the nation to be named as Howard Hughes Medical Institute professors in the 2010 round of awards. Launched in 2002, the HHMI professors program recognizes accomplished research scientists who also are deeply committed to making science more engaging for undergraduates. The program awards four-year grants aimed at fostering innovations in undergraduate science education at the professors' home universities and providing other institutions with effective models for bridging research and teaching.
The ASBMB recipients are:
Catherine Drennan, professor of chemistry and biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Sarah C. R. Elgin, Viktor Hamburger professor of arts and sciences and professor in the department of biology at Washington University in St. Louis.
Richard M. Losick, Harvard College professor and Maria Moors Cabot professor of biology at Harvard University.Baldomero M. Olivera, distinguished professor at the University of Utah.Scott A. Strobel, Henry Ford II professor of molecular biophysics and biochemistry and professor of chemistry at Yale University.Graham C. Walker, American Cancer Society research professor of biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Three American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology members were named recipients of 2010 Kavli Prizes. A total of eight scientists were selected to receive the 2010 award for expanding human understanding in the fields of astrophysics, nanoscience and neuroscience.
Members Thomas C. Südhof, a professor in molecular and cellular physiology at Stanford University School of Medicine, and James E. Rothman, chairman of the department of cell biology at Yale University, were joined by Richard Scheller in sharing the neuroscience award for work that revealed the precise molecular basis of the transfer of signals between nerve cells in the brain.
ASBMB member Nadrian Seeman, a professor of chemistry at New York University, received the nanoscience award, with Donald M. Eigler, for his work on structural DNA nanotechnology.
The Kavli Prizes were set up to recognize outstanding scientific research, honor highly creative scientists, promote public understanding of scientists and their work and to encourage international scientific cooperation.
The Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine has honored three American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology members with the newly established Distinguished Scientist Award. The award recognizes biomedical scientists whose seminal research accomplishments have established them as leaders in biomedicine and who have made significant contributions to SEBM.
Hector F. DeLuca, Harry Steenbock Research Professor at the University of Wisconsin, Henry C. Pitot, professor emeritus of oncology and of pathology and laboratory medicine at the University of Wisconsin, and Kenneth L. Barker of the State University of New York – Syracuse are among the eight past presidents of the SEBM who received the honor.
Michael Anthony Cusanovich, Regent's professor of biochemistry and molecular biophysics emeritus, former vice president of research, head of the Arizona Research Laboratories, and active member of the University of Arizona community for more than 40 years, died on April 12.
Cusanovich received his Bachelor's degree from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California and his doctorate in chemistry from the University of California, San Diego. After completing his postdoctoral research at Cornell University, he began his career as an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Arizona in 1969. He had a distinguished career as an internationally renowned scientist focusing on energy transduction, especially in relation to photoactive proteins.
Cusanovich was a dedicated teacher, an advocate for the development of bioindustry, and a member of the Journal of Biological Chemistry editorial board. He retired in 2007 but continued to immerse himself in research and advocacy. He also was a fan of the outdoors, an avid golfer, horseback rider and skier.

IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.

Miranda Lambert Covers Lady Gaga's 'You and I' in North Carolina
Miranda Lambert's On Fire Tour took her to Greensboro, N.C. this week, where she stepped totally out of the box and included a cover we've yet to see a country artist take on: Lady Gaga's 'You and I.' Lambert whipped out a killer performance of the song, adding enough of her sass and grit to make it sound like a Lambert or Pistol Annies original made famous by a pop star.
She made the song a bit more personal by changing the lyric "Nebraska guy" to "North Carolina guy," which garnered big praise from the local audience. Then, the second time around she gave a subtle shout out to hubby Blake Shelton by changing the words to "Oklahoma guy."
Lambert delivered such a solid and fun performance on this song that we're left wondering if perhaps it has anything to do with her newfound friendship with the 'Born This Way' guise-sporting diva. After sitting beside the black veil-clad superstar at the 2012 Grammys, Lambert seemed to have a new appreciation for and friendship with Gaga. Like an excited kid on the playground who just found a new pal, Lambert tweeted "Y'all. I have a new friend! @ladygaga from NYC and a Texas girl. Who knew! She is really sweet! The odd couple… well not really!"
We don't know how deep that friendship runs and whether or not the country star will be pulling Miss Gaga onstage with her anytime soon for a proper duet of 'You and I,' but her North Carolina performance was a nice tribute nonetheless.

"I stayed up half the night reading Soul of a Citizen, finding it a beautiful and
morally transcendent work that speaks in gentle words directly to the heart. The new edition is magnificent. "
— Jonathan Kozol
Paul Rogat Loeb is the author of Soul Of a Citizen: Living With Conviction In Challenging Times. With over 165,000 copies in print through updated editions, Soul has become a classic handbook for budding social activists, veteran organizers, and anyone who wants to make a difference—large or small. An antidote to powerlessness and despair, it has inspired thousands of citizens to make their voices heard and actions count—and then stay involved for the long haul. Soul explores what leads
some people to get involved in larger community issues while others feel
overwhelmed or uncertain; what it takes to maintain commitment for the
long haul; and how community involvement and citizen activism can give
back a powerful sense of connection and purpose.
It speaks particularly to how to keep engaged despite dashed hopes and disilusionment. Click here for Soul's description, sample sections, and wonderful reviews,
as well as information on classroom use.
Loeb's global anthology of political hope, The Impossible Will Take a Little While: Perseverance and Hope in Troubled Times, has its own wholly updated edition released by Basic Books in May 2014 wiith over 100,000 copies in print. The Impossible creates a conversation among some of the most visionary and eloquent voices of our time: Think
Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, Bill Moyers, Arundhati Roy, Tony Kushner,Bill McKibben, Paul Hawken, Pablo Neruda and Vaclav Havel. Alice Walker, Mary Pipher, Jonathan
Kozol, Diane Ackerman, and Marian Wright Edelman. Cornel West, Terry Tempest Williams, Dan Savage, Desmond
Tutu, and Howard Zinn.
These essays, poems, and stories, along with Loeb's extended introductions, teach us how to keep on working for a more humane world, replenish the
wellsprings of our commitment, and continue no matter how hard it sometimes seems.
Loeb has included pieces that explore the historical, political, ecological and spiritual frameworks that help us to persist—
with concrete examples of how people have faced despair and overcome it. They
examine what it was like to confront South African apartheid, the Egyptian and Eastern European dictatorships, Mississippi's
entrenched segregation, the corporations driving global climate change, or the Robber Barons of 100 years ago. The stories don't sugarcoat the obstacles. But they inspire hope by showing what keeps us keeping on--even when the odds seem overwhelming. They replenish the wellsprings of our commitment. The Impossible is a BookSense independent bookstores bestseller
and, like Soul, won the Nautilus Award for the best social
change book of its year. Click here for a description,
excerpts, rave reviews, and information on The Impossible's wonderful classroom responses .

DAYTON, Ohio -- When the Buckeyes board their bus at University of Dayton Arena and make those two quick right turns to get on Interstate 75 north, they'll either be on their way home for good or heading off to someplace entirely new for them.
The second-seeded Buckeyes (27-7) are one win away from reaching the NCAA tournament's round of 16 for the fourth year in a row, something they've never done in their storied basketball history. In their way is 10th-seeded Iowa State (23-11), a team that will test all areas of a defense that has been Ohio State's strength down the stretch.
The winner heads to Los Angeles to face whoever is left in the West Regional and its upset-filled bracket.
"All we've talked about this week with our guys is the two games in Dayton," coach Thad Matta said Saturday. "Hopefully on the bus ride home, we're saying, 'OK, this is the next opponent, and these are the four teams that are there.'"
The West already has provided several of the tournament's double-take moments. No. 3 New Mexico, No. 4 Kansas State and No. 5 Wisconsin lost their opening games, wiping out the top of the bracket. No. 1 Gonzaga and Ohio State are the top two still standing.
It wouldn't be a shock if the Buckeyes failed to make the trip West. They've been knocked out during Matta's two tournament appearances in Dayton, which is only an hour and 15 minutes away from their Columbus campus.
Even though they had thousands of fans providing a home-court feel, they couldn't survive the first weekend.
They were a No. 2 seed -- just like this year -- when they lost to Georgetown in the second round in 2006 on a day of upsets in Dayton. Defending national champion North Carolina also lost in the blue-and-red arena that year. The Buckeyes lost a double-overtime game to Siena in 2009, when they were an eighth seed in Dayton.
Neither of those teams had the versatility and defense that this one brings into Sunday's game against the nation's top 3-point shooting team, which spreads out and tries to attack from everywhere on the floor. The Cyclones were at their best during a 76-58 win over Notre Dame on Friday night, taking only 21 shots from behind the arc. With the Fighting Irish concentrating so much on those perimeter shooters, Iowa State took the ball inside and dominated from the outset.
Iowa State is hoping the wide-open approach gets it back to the round of 16 for the first time since 2000, when the Cyclones lost in a regional final. The Cyclones take so many shots from behind the arc -- nearly 44 percent of their total attempts -- that it's been tough for teams to keep up. Iowa State has scored at least 80 points in 20 of its games.
"I mean, we just have shooters," said guard Chris Babb, who is second on the team with 62 3-pointers. "Any team on the court, normally 1-through-5 is somebody who can knock down a 3-point shot. When we go out in transition, coach (Fred) Hoiberg gives us that opportunity. If you have that open shot and you're confident that you're going to make it, go ahead and take it."
Ohio State can't let them slip into a take-it, make-it mentality.
The Buckeyes have been very good at shutting down the perimeter during their nine-game winning streak that includes the Big Ten tournament title. That reliable defense wasn't there earlier in the season.
"I think as a team, we're all doing our roles now," guard Shannon Scott said. "We're not trying to do one-on-one basketball now. We're all playing together, and that's really helped us out a lot. Coach Matta talked to us about this -- playing our game -- and we know what we've got to do to win."
That defense starts with point guard Aaron Craft, who had a season-high six steals during a 95-70 win over Iona on Friday night. Iowa State tries to get inside opposing defenses and force two players to come to the ball, leaving someone open on the perimeter. If Craft can keep them out, it'll be a lot tougher for the Cyclones to get open 3s.
And if the Cyclones get a little sloppy, they'll be shooting a lot of 3s out of necessity, just to try to catch up.
"I think Aaron Craft is as dominant a defensive player at the guard spot maybe that I've ever seen," Hoiberg said. "He just poses so many problems as far as creating turnovers which lead to run-outs which lead to baskets. We've got to take great care of the basketball."

How is the Honda Element EX-P in Snow?
Looking at the Element EX-P and really like the room it offers. I'm on the east coast and have the winter months to deal with and was wondering any experience with the EX-P and driving in snow. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

For a moment I thought you were in the Southern Hemisphere - where it's winter now.

I am looking into a 2007 Element EX 4wd and I would like to know how the 4wd drive does in snow, rain, dirt, and mud would be excellent.
rlane Posts: 2I have a 2003 EX with good snow tires on it in Vermont and I don't really trust it in the snow any farther than I would a front wheel drive car. I have some weight in the back since I used it for work and I find several things that I don't like about it. 1st the rear end slides to easily. Maybe because of the weight but it isn't over loaded so it shouldn't. 2nd the anti lock brakes are going to get me killed one of these days. I almost slid into a car while going through an intersection the other day and I went sliding past my drive way when the left two wheels were on clear dry pavement and the right were on snow and ice. I have pulled the antilock break fuse and am trying to see if that helps but with disk brakes on all sides the rear seem to grab and lock to easily. This is my second car with ABS brakes that just don't work. 3rd the road salt and mud seem to collect nicely on the front side mirrors. I have added mud flaps and it does no good. 4th the car has just over 80000 miles on it and when the left rear tire finally tries to drive when you are on snow it is making a weird noise that I haven't figured out yet. The rear end in this thing isn't as big as the one in my 4 wheeler. I bought the car used last year and have put almost 20000 of my own miles on it and am seriously thinking of getting rid of it as unsafe.0
Why did you get an '03? That was the first year for the Element and also its worse. I think that the '07 is way better. Would you consider a 2007? That's what I'm looing at.0
mjp06 Posts: 4I've got an 06 EX-P AWD MT and this is my first winter with it. Winter is mostly icy and rainy here in Maryland. The E is ok in the snow and ice but not great. (running Yokohama Geolander tires. The orignal tires barely stick to dry pavement never mind snow) I also own a Subaru Forrester (also with Yokohama Geolanders) and a 1978 jeep which both handle much better. The Subaru sticks to the road in any condition, snow, ice, rain, whatever. The AWD on the E is nothing like the Subaru. If I had it to do over again, I would not pay extra for the AWD. I don't notice any difference between a FWD and an AWD E.
The E will get you around in the snow, just be careful. If you really need winter driving stability, get a Subaru.
david_wayne Posts: 8First off, nothing is as good as a Subaru Forrester in the snow, but my Element is pretty damm good. I purchased the LX AWD AT ('07) and I am thrilled with the way it handles snow. I have no idea what might be different from my '07 on the others that posted on here, but I am thrilled with how well it takes the snow and ice. My tires are whatever the car arrived with, but they do fine. I did notice that after 12 inches of a heavy snow in unplowed areas I am much more likely to get stuck, but that has only happened twice this past winter.
If driving in the snow is really important to you, go with the Forrester, but keep in mind the price difference ($6,000 more for the Subaru). I am very satisfied with my choice.0
deepdrop Posts: 89I bought a set of Winterforce snow tires on steel wheels from Tire Rack for my "04 Element. I used them one season and want to sell them because I'm moving south.
Does anyone know of a good Honda website where I could post these?0
stever Posts: 52,462I sold a set of mounted studded tires last fall using my local craigslist.com (or craigslist.org if you are a purist :shades: ).
Took about 2 hours to get a call, and the first guy bought them. Of course I priced them "right."0
I am about to buy a 2007 EX Automatic Front Wheel drive.
What does the "P" mean.
Thank you0
It stands for "paint" which is applied to the exterior fender panels and door handles. Presumably it has little effect on handling in the snow.

Does anyone know what Honda charges for the equipment and to install this in a new car? The car I want has it already installed, but I would rather not pay for it.
I recommend asking in Honda Element.

laf3 Posts: 5I just test drove an 03 EX with 40K for $14,900; We are stepping out of a Chrysler LHS and before that, a Taurus I absolutely loved. I am excited about the versitility for our large dogs, garden stuff etc. I loved how comfy it was, and how it handled on the test. I live in MT, and the salesman told me he owned one for 2 years and thought there was nothing better in the snow/ice.
In perusing the internet on cars.com, I see on '06 with 9K for the same price, though it's 1000 miles away. Is there a big difference between the two years besides body style? I would REALLY appreciate any tips and feedback anyone has to give as we look seriously at purchasing an Element. I am concerned a bit about the lack of mpg...and all of the repair messages in this forum! :confuse:0
tundradude Posts: 588Safety. The 07 and 08 has more equipment for any model and they have standard side air bags.0
lab88 Posts: 24I live in Indiana, and we often get a few inches of snow at a time during the winter. We sometimes get a foot or a bit more. Overall, I'm very happy with my AWD Element in the snow. I used to own a Subaru Forester, and it was good in the snow, too (there were other things I hated about it). I have noticed that the Element does not stick quite as well when you first start moving again, like at an intersection sometimes when it's very snowy or wet, the tires will spin to grip if you stomp the pedal, but I have not had any problems with the Element sticking while driving. Come to think of it, since I replaced the stock tires, I haven't noticed the intersection issue again, even during this whole snowier-than-average winter.0
Guys_EXP Posts: 1My EX-P 2WD is AMAZING in snow and I live in Ohio.
Watch out for the heater core....known issue and some are BAD....mine was VERY BAD. Honda Replaced it. And, sorry to say, Honda says they fixed the cracked windsheild thing after 2005..>WRONG....mine cracked exactly like the previous years, after serious debates with them...they replaced it with a much better windsheild0
jbogo Posts: 1I have a 2003 AWD Element, bought new in '03. In my rural real estate practice, I go absolutely everywhere, and in all kind of conditions. (The Pittsburgh end of Pennsylvania is very hilly!)
I have taken it through farmer fields in knee-to-waist-high grass and weeds in showing land. I also have five years experience in all kinds of winter weather, often driving on ice and up to ten inches or so of snow. (The experiences I could tell you!)
I usually use an aggressive tread all-weather tire in the winter, or sometimes a mud & snow. I don't particularly overload my Element with heavy "stuff" in the rear, although I do keep lots of real estate stuff back there (for fixing "for sale" signs, etc., and my handy tool box. (The clamshell rear gives me a great work bench when I pull down the tailgate, and a covered work bench when I leave the upper window part extended!)
I have to say though that my Element handles like a dream, and has never come near letting me down in wet, cold, snowy and icy weather, or on our hilly terrain. Not in five years and nearly 140,000 miles.0
Mine is excellent0
spectre15 Posts: 3I just purchased a 2011 Honda Element. Unfortunately, after driving the vehicle I have found that there is a constant vibration in the steering wheel at 55-70 mph. I have taken the Element to the dealer 4 times now. They have rebalanced all the tires, rotated them, and completely realigned the wheels. The last time, they put on better quality tires. At first I thought the issue was fixed, but it only changed the vibration speeds. The steering wheel has a constant vibration from about 45-72 mph now. The dealer is not sure what to do to fix the problem. The dealer had one 2011 Element on the lot, and when the service manager and the mechanic drove the other 2011 Element, they found it too had the same vibration. Now that Honda America has approved the new tires, they are not sure what to do to get rid of the vibration. I love the Element, but I cannot stand the vibration.
Have any of you out there had this same issue? If so, how did they fix it. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.0
I had a similar problem when mine was new. I feel like it went away, but I KNEW it was gone when I had new brakes, tires and an alignment at 45000 miles. I switched to General Grabbers and it never drove/rode so well.0
jt_element Posts: 1I know squat about cars. In fact, my 2007 Element that I bought certified pre-owned in 2010 is my first car purchase ever. But what you're experiencing sounds like a problem I had, and it was the bushings.
Before they replaced the bushings, the car would often vibrate on any kind of less than perfectly smooth surface, and when I drove over any kind of even mildly rough surface--like grating or the grooves they put on the highway just before the toll booths--it would vibrate horribly.
I would bet the problem has something to do with the suspension.1

ExcellentI now have a perfect setup!! A Vapor Zeus battery with cigar liquid and and batterywith tobacco liquid~~~!!
This cigar liquid is VERY much like a premium cigar!!!
Thanks V4L love my system (zeus large)
Gobsmacked!That very first draw, inhaling a vapor that fills your mouth and nostrils with strong cigar flavors... and then it stops at the throat. Toking on this juice should be considered an extreme sport. It is STRONG, (and I had ordered a 36mg bottle!).
Delightful peppery notes, and other 'manly' flavors, create a cigar-like experience. I use it as a concentrate to add depth and flavor to tobacco juices. The Good Stuff.
amazing E- liquidThe throat hit on this E-liquid it outstanding!!! not to mention it actually taste like a real cigar and smells like one to! if you are a cigar fan this is definitely the way to go! Amazing job V4L
Very GoodThe flavor is excellent. The throat hit is unbelievable. I am a throat hit fanatic, and this stuff needs to be cut I have to say it. I am used to 36mg of everything. 24 at the least. You take a pull off of this, you can let it sit in your mouth for... 20 seconds. Then try to inhale and you will still be choking a lung. Your tongue will even burn a little after a while just puffing. I don't know if perhaps I accidentally got a double-dose of nic in the batch or something? But it really feels like WAY more than the 24 I ordered. If it numbs up your tongue it is definitely 'WOW'.
The flavor is hard to beat however. I mean this is by far the best 'tobacco' flavor anybody has ever done. It also does resemble a good cigar. I'm going to try ordering 11mg and see what happens next time though. I had to throw this batch out. I just can't take it!
A dark juice with massive flavor and depthI love this stuff! I can't say this literally tastes like a cigar, but I don't think that's actually possible with vaping, so it's more a question of whether it's a sufficiently comparable experience to a real cigar, and that it is. I love a strong, full bodied, and complex cigar, though, and this juice rises closer to that realm than I would have thought I'd ever get from vaping, so I'm very excited about that. I think I'm tasting strong cinnamon and clove in this stuff, which was a bit excessive at first but blended and calmed down considerably after a week of steeping, so I'd recommend doing that. It's definitely impossible to inhale this stuff, at least for me (because of the cinnamony bite, not because of the nicotine level) but that has been my holy grail: a vapor that's strong and voluminous enough to not require inhaling, and I am there now!
One thing that amazes me is how much it creates the illusion of actual smoke -- in a very good way, not in a barbecue sauce or ashtray way. I can't put my finger on it, but there's a sort of dry smokelike sensation and mouthfeel that I'm guessing is associated with the clove flavor.
I'm using this with my Vapor Zeus. This is a very dark juice and it clogged up my smileomizer pretty quickly, which is a tradeoff you have to expect with a darker juice, so I've had to clean the smileomizer much more frequently. I tried mixing the juice with a lighter, blander one and the flavor proved strong enough to come through pretty well, so that's one possibile way to go, but the full on effect of this juice is worth the extra effort. What I'm trying now is using a tank with a WOW vapor cartomizer, since the carts are cheaper, and saving the smileomizers for milder fluids. I think that might be the best option.
Holy cow!As others have stated this is some STRONG stuff! At 24mg I can not even take it, best way to describe it is like vaping mace. It does however have a great flavor, with the hardest throat hit I have ever had in a juice.
Too strongBe careful with that one. I ordered and found that I cannot smoke it - flavor is too strong for me.
It reminds spicy cigar, but too spicy...

Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness (map) in 1980 and it now has a total of 2,358,940 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Idaho and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service. The Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness is bordered by the Gospel-Hump Wilderness to the northwest and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness to the north (separated by the Magruder Corridor and Highway 12).
DescriptionFew places in America, and nowhere outside of Alaska, provide a Wilderness experience to match the sheer magnitude of the Frank Church-River of No Return, the largest contiguous unit of the National Wilderness Preservation System in the Lower 48. It is second in size only to California's Death Valley Wilderness, which consists of many non-contiguous pieces. This area combines the old Idaho Primitive Area, the Salmon Breaks Primitive Area, territory on six national forests, and a small swath of land managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Senator Frank Church played a key role in the passage of the Wilderness Act of 1964, and his name was added to the Wilderness in 1984, shortly before his death. It is a land of clear rivers, deep canyons, and rugged mountains. Two white-water rivers draw many human visitors: the Main Salmon River, which runs west near the northern boundary; and the Middle Fork of the Salmon, which begins near the southern boundary and runs north for about 104 miles until it joins the Main. Reaching 6,300 feet from the river bottom, the canyon carved by the Main Salmon is deeper than most of the earth's canyons--including the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River--and this fast-moving waterway has been dubbed the River of No Return. In the northeastern corner of the Wilderness, the Selway River flows north into the nearby Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. Trout fishing usually rates from good to excellent. The Middle Fork, the Selway, and nearly all of the Main Salmon are Wild and Scenic Rivers. Unlike the sheer walls of the Grand Canyon, these rivers rush below wooded ridges rising steeply toward the sky, beneath eroded bluffs and ragged, solitary crags. The Salmon River Mountains dominate the interior of the Wilderness. Without a major crest, these mountains splay out in a multitude of minor crests in all directions, and rise gradually to wide summits. East of the Middle Fork, the fabulous Bighorn Crags form a jagged series of summits, at least one topping 10,000 feet. The Crags surround 14 strikingly beautiful clearwater lakes. Hiking up from the rivers into the mountains brings sudden elevation changes. Great forests of Douglas fir and lodgepole pine cover much of the area, with spruce and fir higher up and ponderosa pine at lower altitudes. The forests are broken by grassy meadows and sun-washed, treeless slopes. A dry country, as little as 10 inches of precipitation falls near the rivers. As much as 50 inches may fall on the mountaintops, but much of it is snow. Despite the dryness, wildlife abounds. As many as 370 species have been identified in a single year, including eight big game animals. Wildfire has been allowed to play a more natural role in the wilderness in recent years. Tens of thousands of acres have burned without the interference of humans, producing a mosaic of vegetation from severely burned timber stands in some areas to lightly burned grass slopes and understory in other areas. A network of 296 maintained trails (approximately 2,616 miles worth) provides access to this seemingly endless area, crossing rivers and streams on 114 bridges. This is a paradise for horsepackers. Thirty-two Forest Service Roads lead to 66 trailheads. Despite the extensive trail system, an amazing 1.5 million acres remains trail-free. Small planes are allowed to land on several primitive airstrips dating back to the days before Wilderness designation. Jet boats are allowed on the Main Salmon. Dozens of outfitters offer float, jetboat, horsepacking, backpacking, and ski trips. For information, contact the Idaho Outfitters and Guides Association, P.O. Box 95, Boise, ID 83701; (208) 342-1438.

Back in ancient times , beginning framebuilders used to assemble thier frames into rideable bikes before committing to paint. It the spirit of this nearly forgotten tradition, I built up old number one to see if the work I put into it made it less of a piece of shit. I'm happy to say that now, 32 years later this old turd is actually a nice riding bike. It's no real velodrome bike but it rolls along well and I haven't clipped a pedal yet. Maybe I'll get some paint on it.......after a few more test rides to make sure it dosen't disintegrate when I take it off a curb.

Keep your eyes peeled this season. You're going to start seeing more and more CCM products around the rink and on television.
While they never technically left, CCM's return to the rink just over five years ago was a notable milestone for the manufacturer. Part of the Reebok family (which also took over Koho, Jofa and Titan in the early 2000s), CCM has a strong presence in today's equipment landscape. Sticks like the RBZ SuperFast and the return of the Tacks skate have elevated CCM to new heights in equipment design and innovation.
Of course, their line offered, in some ways, a direct competition to the equipment being built and sold by Reebok. Instead of having the two companies fight for attention and players, they altered the landscape they operate on. CCM will maintain their status as a brand leader for elite equipment while Reebok will be entry level to mid-price point in senior, junior and youth equipment.
That means that players who previously used Reebok equipment in the NHL will be wearing more CCM just as products like the Ribcor stick will now be sold with CCM branding as opposed to Reebok. The quality certainly won't change, just the window dressing.
It's still a cool development, particularly with the strength Bauer has shown in recent years and the obvious push coming from CCM. The RBZ stick line is beyond revolutionary and both the RBZ and Tacks skates are excellent products which offer a true challenge to Bauer.
There is one other front that could see CCM grow even more and that's in the crease. The Reebok goal line is still being worn by quite a few netminders and exactly what will come of the Reebok goal collection doesn't seem as clear as the player line. However, the CCM Extreme Flex goal pads are a monster hit and continue to find their way into more and more locker rooms in the NHL and beyond.
The CCM goal mask line was far superior to that of the models released by Reebok a few years prior and the same can be said for many other aspects of CCM's goal equipment line. Perhaps the only sector Reebok truly had an edge in was skate design. The Reebok skates – both goalie and player – have been quite popular since their inception and while the RBZ and Tacks are phenomenal skates, models like the Ribcor are still elite in their own right.
While many of CCM's products may be seen as superior to begin with, the company ought to see a boost thanks to the quality in skate design that Reebok has established.
At the end of the day this transition doesn't change much in terms of the big picture. In fact, based on equipment that I've personally used, much of CCM's elite level gear is superior to begin with. So while there will be more exposure and equipment choices for CCM, the product quality certainly isn't going to change. Simply put, this is a wise decision to allow a growing industry leader get that much bigger.
As the changeover continues, players will see more and more Reebok products change over to CCM. In the meantime, have fun scavenger hunting for the CCM logo in places you're not used to seeing it.

A local veterinarian has been named the First Citizens Bank Small Business Person of 2013.
A local veterinarian has been named the First Citizens Bank Small Business Person of 2013.
Local business leaders and members of the Onslow County Board of Directors gathered over breakfast on Friday at Onslow Memorial Hospital to honor Dr. Robert M. Sheegog Jr.
Sheegog, a Jacksonville High School graduate who has a degree from N.C. State University and a doctorate of veterinary medicine from the University of Georgia, returned to Jacksonville in 1982 to open Onslow Animal Hospital on Doris Avenue.
As his practice grew, so did his reputation as an honored and respected veterinarian, according to previous award winner Cindy Edwards of By His Design.
�Sheegog understands the importance of being part of the �voice of business� and to be unified and connected with other business people,� Edwards said of Sheegog, who has taken an active role with the First Citizens Bank Board, Coastal Carolina Community College of Trustees and his church.. �He demonstrates the qualities of a successful business operator, a supportive chamber member, an enthusiastic member of the community and a superb humanitarian.�
Sheegog was joined by his wife Angi, daughter Ella and son Ben when he received the award.
�I�m speechless,� he said. �This is a great honor and I appreciate it from the small business community and the chamber.
�There are still many nights that I�m up in my clinic, probably way past when my wife thinks I should be there. I couldn�t do it without her and my two kids, I love them. And my staff, they make me look good. So, thank you very much and I appreciate it.�
Sheegog is the 24th person to receive the award, and joins recent past recipients Gunilla Krohous of American Dream Cakes, Edwards and Bundage Guy of AD Guy insurance.
�We�re proud to take this opportunity to highlight the impact of outstanding entrepreneurship and business owners in our community,� Jacksonville Onslow Chamber of Commerce President Laurette Leagon said. �We congratulate them on the work they are doing to grow their businesses, create 21st century jobs, drive innovation and increase America�s global competitiveness.�

The Panther defense did not rest.
And that was a good thing, because the Middlebury men's basketball team shot only 34.4 percent in the Panthers' 64-57 win over Gordon at the now-customary loud, packed house at Pepin Gymnasium for a playoff game.
Junior center Andrew Locke swatted a ridiculous career-high 13 shots to justifiably earn the headlines, while senior guard Tim Edwards (just named this week for the second straight season as NESCAC defender of the year) harassed Gordon's leading scorer, Aaron Trigg, into 3-for-15 shooting. In all, the 24-5 Fighting Scots (got to love that nickname) winners of 19 of 20 games coming in, shot just 31 percent.
Locke talked about defense after the Panthers improved to 25-3 and earned the right to face Rhode Island College at Pepin on Saturday night in the regional final.
"Defense has been our staple all year. Our guards know that we've got some big guys in the middle, and if they get beat, kind of let them come," Locke said, adding, "Some days, for whatever reason, you don't have your shots, and you have to find another way to win. And defense has always been there for us."
Coach Jeff Brown said Locke's blocks often trigger the offense. That's what happened early in the second half. The Panthers had scored just five points (all by Edwards) in the final 8:20 of the first half and had seen a 27-14 lead dwindle to 32-29 at the half. It was 36-32 after two Ryan Sharry tip-ins, and then Locke blocked back-to-back shots, which led to a transition three for Nolan Thompson that brought the house down as the Panthers took a 39-32 lead. Thompson hit another three on the next trip, and it was a 10-point game with 16:20 to go.
"On offense we're not pretty. We have stretches where we're pretty efficient. But the defense has been consistent all year long and that's why we have 25 wins," Brown said.
Sharry hit a three to make it 52-36 at 12:10, but Middlebury went cold again, and sweet-shooting Gordon guard Brady Bajema (21 points) hit nine of the Scots' points in an 11-3 run that made the game a bit too interesting down the stretch. But Jamal Davis and Locke blocked shots, and Thompson drove for two, and it was a 10-point game again at 4:21. Shortly afterward Locke swatted another shot and took a charge in the same sequence, and Gordon got no closer than five (57-52) when Trigg hit three free throws at 1:42.
The Middlebury defense answered again. After a Panther miss, Thompson stole the ball back and worked a give-and-go with Davis for a key hoop at 0:56 that made it 59-52. The Panthers then made enough free throws to put the game out of reach.
The stats: Edwards, 12 points, a team-high 11 boards; Thompson, a team-high 17 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists; Sharry, 14 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists; Jake Wolfin, 9 points, 7 rebounds; and Locke, 9 points, 4 rebounds, and the lucky number of blocks.
Rhode Island will bring team speed and athleticism on Saturday, but it's worth noting they have lost to Middlebury's NESCAC rivals Colby and Amherst.
Locke thinks the Panthers are ready: "They're a different team than we've seen. They're quick, they're athletic. So it's kind of going to be our size against their speed … We've just got to lock down, but our guard defense is great, so I'm not too worried."
Of course, the elephant in the Pepin room was the Panthers' heartbreaking first-round home loss a year ago, which followed a first-round road setback in 2008.
Locke also addressed that issue: "The game last year has been in all of our minds since it happened, for a whole year. We worked hard all summer, all fall, with that in the back of our head, like that won't happen again. We felt a little bit of pressure. Maybe that's why our shots weren't falling. But we also knew there's no way we lose again. We made it twice, and we want to go far this time."

Microsoft may have made a big push to settle many of the antitrust actions facing it around the globe, but those efforts have run up against a major stumbling block: the company's inability to document the protocols need to interoperate with its own software. Documentation problems got Microsoft in hot water with the EU, and they're now the only reason it continues to be under court supervision in the aftermath of its antitrust settlement. But, despite having interoperability become a corporate strategy, its documentation efforts came under fire in a court hearing earlier today.
In the wake of antitrust actions, documentation of Microsoft technologies has become a method of allaying the concerns of legal authorities in both the US and EU. By providing documentation of the APIs and protocols used by its products, Microsoft would not only allow third-party and open-source software to interact better with Windows and other software, but potentially enable them to write replacements, in whole or in part, for Microsoft products. This, in theory, would enable more software companies to compete on equal terms with Redmond.
Unfortunately, the company has consistently had trouble with producing complete and useful documentation. As noted above, the company struggled to satisfy EU authorities that it was complying with the agreement—that was 2006. By 2008, documentation was rearing its ugly head in the US court system. Microsoft's consent decree with the federal and state attorneys general was set to expire, and most of the conditions were allowed to. But Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who is overseeing the consent decree, ruled that Microsoft still hadn't sufficiently documented some protocols, despite those documents having been due in 2003. As a result, the consent decree will remain in place at least until November of 2009.
Today saw Kollar-Kotelly hold the latest hearing on the status of the consent agreements, and a number of reports suggest that there still seem to be problems there (no legal documents arising from the hearing have been filed yet). Although the Dow Jones Newswire seems to think everything is fine, other reports seem to contradict this. Reuters, however, indicates that the Judge was a bit annoyed that Microsoft filed a document that suggested it viewed itself as being in full compliance with the agreement, given that the documentation wasn't ready. Referring to the 2009 date for the lifting of the consent agreement, she said, "That's not going to happen unless these things get done."
Meanwhile, CNet has quotes from the New York's Attorney General's office that suggest they are getting antsy. After complaining that Microsoft appears to act as if it's doing everyone a favor by complying with its legal obligations, Jay Hines is quoted as saying, "What we have today is the [technical committee] and its staff spoon-feeding the world's biggest PC company. Something about that just isn't right."
Given that this is the last sword hanging over its metaphorical head in the US, it's not clear why Microsoft isn't bending over backwards to make it go away. Most developers find Microsoft's API documentation to be pretty good, so it's clear that the company can produce similar documents when it is determined to.

Aching back, ripped bags and wasted seed. It's one thing to say there's got to be a better way. Here are some tools to actually help you do something about it.
Bulk seed system
The Seed Titan is a bulk seed-handling system that uses a 5.5-hp engine to deliver up to 400 lbs. of seed/min. Seed capacities range from 5,000 lbs. on a two-box unit to 10,000 lbs. on a four-box unit. Quick-lock bars hold the seed boxes or bag rack in place.
The unit can be configured to handle most standard-size bulk bags or boxes and to include a seed-treater-compatible quarter-inch coupler. A low-profile design uses a self-centering loading system to avoid accidental seed box damage and keep loads balanced for safer transport. Torsion axels, brakes and tandem axel are designed for heavy loads on the road or in the field. A lift assist cylinder raises or lowers the auger. Prices: two-box unit, $5,445; four-box unit, $7,445. Contact Friesen of Iowa, 2897 Expansion Blvd., Storm Lake, IA 50588, 800/437-2334, www.friesenofiowa.com.
Cleated belt tube conveyor
This portable tube conveyor from KSi Conveyors uses a cleated belt wrapped within an 8-in. tube to move seed quickly and gently. High capacities with slow belt speeds are possible with a specialized 12-in. PVC belt. Notched vulcanized paddles spaced 6 in. apart are set at a compound angle to prevent seed damage and provide efficient transport up a 37° to 40° angle. An enclosed return improves cleanliness and safety for seed transfer and treatment applications. Collapsible canvas and 4- × 4-ft. galvanized hoppers are optional. Standard lengths of 17, 25 and 32 ft. sell for $5,400 to $6,200. Longer and custom lengths also are available. Contact KSi Conveyors Inc., Box 518, Cissna Park IL 60924, 888/868-8486, www.ksiconveyors.com.
Stop and start seed flow
Make loading and unloading seed a one-worker job. The Touch and Blow from Seed Stop attaches to Bruneumatic seed conveyors and other seed vac models to combine the power of a seed vac with a cordless remote. It also can be used to vacuum out seed hoppers. The remote control, with a range of 250 ft., lets you stop and start seed flow without the need for switches and wires. Price for the remote is $200.
A planter row shutoff kit, also from Seed Stop, allows a grower in the tractor cab to instantly stop planting seed on the left or right of an Advanced Seed Meter (ASM) planter (and some other air planter models) regardless of tractor speed. Instant shutoff helps save seed when planting point rows, waterways and field edges. Without modifications, the planter monitor automatically indicates which rows aren't planting. Shutoff units can be mounted on the manifold. Price: $500. Contact Seed Stop Inc., 20664 190th St., Allison, IA 50602, 319/267-2530.
Seed firmer update
Getting seed in the trench is just the beginning. The Keeton Seed Firmer is a planter attachment designed to firm seeds at the bottom of the seed trench. Whereas earlier models of the firmer attached to a planter's seed boot, a new model for John Deere 750 drills attaches directly to the row unit bracket for a solid, secure mount. The new firmer also is equipped with an application tube and splitter attachment for one-pass application of low-volume liquids.
The firmer with bracket and application tube costs $39. Replacement tails cost $25. Contact Precision Planting, Townline Rd., Tremont, IL 61568, 309/925-5050, www.precisionplanting.com.

Possessives and Attributives
Q. When indicating possession of a word that ends in s, is it correct to repeat the s after using an apostrophe? For example, which is correct: "Dickens' novel" or "Dickens's novel"?
Q. I have suddenly become an editor and am having trouble on a daily basis with the numeric use of decades. First, is "the 90s" or "the '90s" correct? We often see the apostrophe omitted these days. Next, if a sentence contains the phrase, "Perhaps the 70s best director . . ." (meaning, the best director of that decade), "70s" is both plural and possessive. Should it be "70's"? "70s'"? Other than reconstructing the sentence, what's an editor to do?
Q. Would the phrase "The Board of Trustees meeting" be considered an attributive noun? Or should possession be indicated with an apostrophe? Thank you for your assistance.
Q. Which is correct? (a) He has 15 years' experience designing software, or (b) He has 15 years experience designing software. I've seen it written both ways. I believe "years" needs an apostrophe. If he has 15 years of experience, that would translate to "15 years' experience." Right? Please help.
Q. My husband owns a production company with his brother. The name of the company is Deep-Dish Pictures. The brothers would like to state on their video jacket that the film is: A PEPPERONI BROTHERS FILM. No one in the production company can agree if it should be: A PEPPERONI BROTHERS FILM, A PEPPERONI BROTHER'S FILM, or A PEPPERONI BROTHERS' FILM. [Company and surname changed for this forum.] Please help!!!! Thanks!
Q. A friend of John or a friend of John's? I've heard that both are correct. A friend tossed the famous ambiguity at me this way: "A student of Einstein." Unless it's Einstein's, then it might be taken to mean a student who is working on Einstein.
Q. When using a pronoun to replace the first noun when two nouns show possession of one item, which case should the pronoun be? For example, in the sentence "I'm going to my uncle and aunt's house," "uncle" is not in the possessive case. So which case should the pronoun be? "I'm going to him and my aunt's house"? "I'm going to he and my aunt's house"? Or, "I'm going to his and my aunt's house"? And, if the answer is "his," how do you reconcile that the pronoun is not agreeing with the noun it replaces in gender, number, and case? And what is correct if the pronoun replaces the second noun? "Megan's and his room"? Or "Megan and his room"?
Q. Which is correct: "so and so, four months pregnant" or "so and so, four months' pregnant"?
Q. My fourteen-year-old stepson claims that the newest version of Microsoft Word "corrects" the contraction "it's" by removing the apostrophe. He also claims that they "looked it up" online and that the rule has been changed so that neither the contraction nor the possessive has an apostrophe. I explained to him that the contraction and possessive of "its" may be one of the most difficult rules for people to learn because many people want to believe there should be an apostrophe for the possessive form. Are you aware of a so-called change? I never trust software and I am trying to convince him that he should not trust it either. Thank you for your time.
Q. My editor keeps correcting my possessive. Which is correct? (One person owns the house but several people live there.) We went to the Kerr's or We went to the Kerrs' or We went to the Kerrs. I used the first one and she says it's wrong. Thank you so much.
