MIAMI, Nov. 28, 2011—Thirty-one ideas – many of them from small cultural groups helping to weave the arts into South Florida’s DNA – have been selected as 2011 winners of the Knight Arts Challenge.

The challenge, a program of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, is a communitywide contest helping to transform South Florida through the arts.

In its fourth year, the challenge is investing $2.9 million in projects that will:

• Bring the arts into people’s everyday lives, through opera performances in unexpected places, pop-up sculptures on Miami Beach, concerts downtown and in Miami-Dade parks and artist-lead bus tours of Miami’s lesser known points of interest.

• Tell Miami’s unique story, by portraying coral as a living art form in public exhibits, expanding an artist-in-residence program in the Everglades and creating a mentorship program for African-American playwrights.

• Help develop a recognizable “Miami” style of dance by launching a new dance company and offering opportunities for local and international choreographers.

• Provide tomorrow’s artists and arts enthusiasts with enriching experiences – including a chance to meet one of Haiti’s most prominent artists, be mentored by an author of teen novels or participate in art institute classes.

• Bring more Hispanic masters to South Florida, through a theater festival and exhibits and performances at the Cuban Museum.

A full list of the winners is below.

“The Miami of today is not the Miami of ten, five or even two years ago. Much of that has to do with artists and supporters who are building a new Miami everyday and bringing us together through their work,” Alberto Ibargüen, president and CEO of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. “Every day, Knight Arts Challenge winners add to that momentum, moving and inspiring us towards a better future.”

In just four years, Knight Foundation has invested close to $19 million in Arts Challenge projects – an amount that local arts supporters are doubling with matching funds. Big ideas that have already become a reality include the Borscht Film Festival, helping to forge a new cinematic identity for Miami, The LegalArt Residency, Miami’s only live/work residency for artists, Sleepless Night Miami Beach, where tens of thousands enjoyed 12 hours of nonstop culture, and a sound art gallery debuting this weekend on Lincoln Road.

“So many of the best ideas for the South Florida arts are coming from the ground up.  These are small, artist-driven groups who pour their creativity into this community and help bring South Florida together through the arts,” said Dennis Scholl, Knight Foundation’s vice president/arts.

In addition, Knight kicked off the challenge in 2008 by investing $20 million in endowment grants that fund a new-media program at the New World Symphony, field trips for 40,000 students a year to the Miami Art Museum when it opens its new building, and a series of exhibitions by emerging artists at the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami.

The contest’s success inspired Knight Foundation to launch a national arts program, which invests in projects that enrich and engage eight communities across the United States. The cities include Detroit, San Jose and Philadelphia, which now has its own Knight Arts Challenge contest.

The Knight Arts Challenge, a matching grant program, will open again in early 2012 to accept the fifth round of applicants.

Smitten (a Holiday Garland)

Designer: Emily Ivey
Pattern Type: Knit
Difficulty Level: Intermediate
Sizes Included: 24 mittens and cord
Yarn Shown: Swish Worsted Yarn
Yardage: 660
Needles/Hooks Suggested:
Fiber Type: Wool & Blends
Weight: Worsted/Hvy Worsted
DOWNLOAD FREE PATTERN Adobe® Acrobat® required.
Knit up a mitten garland to count down the days to Christmas! At 4.5 inches from fingertip to cuff, each mitten is just the right size to hold a small treat for each of the first 24 days of December. If you don't need an Advent Calendar, the mittens are great on their own as ornaments, cute as money holders, would look great on a wreath and darling atop a gift. You can also use use your mittens to spell a holiday greeting or knit them for kittens. (I'm just kidding about that last one. They don't fit kittens.) Please share your finished projects in the "Smitten (a Holiday Garland)" Flickr group. We'd love to see where the Smittens take you.

View Full Version : gauge

06-17-2009, 04:14 PM
Hi helpful people, I have a question about gauge. I am on to my second sweater and trying to determine gauge. The pattern calls for 20 stitches per 4 inches on size 6 needles. I worked up a swatch and came up with 16 stitches per 4 inches. So I switched to size 4 needles and made up a new swatch, and came up with 18 stiches per 4 inches. My question is do I have to go out and buy size 3 and 2 and try again with those, or can I just knit the sweater in a smaller size and use the 4's Thanks so much, I learn so much here.

06-17-2009, 04:19 PM
You can, but it may not drape the way you want it to. It is a pain to go out and buy more needles, but once you have them, you'll probably use them for other projects for years to come. I would personally follow the gauge and the original size you wanted. I think it's worth it.

06-17-2009, 09:22 PM
If you're using a heavier yarn than in the pattern, it may come out too stiff by using such small needles. You can knit the sweater on the 4s or the 6s in a different size, provided the sts/inch times the measurement you need is close to the number of sts given for another size. And you would adjust for length.

06-18-2009, 06:49 AM
Make a really large swatch in the yarn, with your needles, in the stitch pattern given for the swatch or any of the stitch patterns used for the largest bit of the sweater. Then you'll know if you like the drape, gauge, and hand of your material.

Cuffs too big!!!
I knit an alpaca pullover for my husband, which fits him very well. However, for some reason the ribbed cuffs are too wide. They are too wide to fix with blocking. How can I make them smaller? I thought about using a sewing machine and sewing a dart type wedge in them. But, that would leave a bunch of material inside the cuff. If I cut it won't it shred?

knitasha 08-09-2007 09:42 PM

The sneaky elastic fix has saved many a too-big cuff and stretched-out neckline. It's a specialty of the Whatever Works School of Fine Knitting.

Use round elastic thread and a yarn needle (white for light colors, black for dark colors, transparent if you can get it). Weave several rows of the elastic through the ribbing inside the cuffs, starting and ending at the seam. (For a man's sweater I'd use 4 or 5 rows.) Pull up each row of elastic as tightly as you want it and fasten in the seam.

The ribbing hides the elastic and the cuffs fit snugly. It also works for ribbing that starts out the right size and stretches over time.

Susan P. 08-10-2007 02:25 AM

Great solution knitasha :)

Ingrid 08-10-2007 10:31 AM

I've done the elastic trick on a kids sweater, and it worked great.

If, however, you want to knit the cuff tighter, you can put in a lifeline above it, (using a circ works well) cut off the present cuff and pick out the rest of the stitches.

Then you can reknit the cuff on a smaller needle or with fewer stitches.

I had a sweater with a hemmed cuff and I didn't like it. I put in the lifeline and knit ribbing and it worked out very well.

knitasha 08-10-2007 03:15 PM

Ingrid is obviously an alumna of the Do-It-Right School of Correct and Elegant Knitting. Hers is the nicer way of doing the job; mine is the down-and-dirty easy way. ;)

Size 14 (.75mm) or size 15 or 16 (.4mm) if you can find them and size 100 crochet thread or sewing thread.

I tried a size 7 (1.65mm) for some Kevlar fishing string I have and quickly decided I would never be making doilies.

I was always taught not to do decreases on top of each other,
Why not? You usually have to for shaping something. If you're just decreasing here and there, it's less noticeable if you don't stack them, but for things like a raglan or a neckline, you need to do them in the same place or you won't get the shaping right.

     Title V Air Permit

    In 2002, Eastman Business Park became subject to a new site-wide Title V Air Permit issued by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). This permit includes many special rules about air emissions at Eastman Business Park, and Contractors must comply with them the same as Kodak, or suffer the consequences. What this means to you is that vapors, dusts, or chemicals caused by your work will need to be pre-approved in the HSE Plan or by your Kodak Representative. Contractors will be subject to fines for non-compliances the same as Kodak under this permit.

    The examples noted below are situations where Contractors could be impacted by the permit:

    • Setting up a temporary welding booth by tying into existing ductwork or a fan exhausting out the side of the building may be regulated under the air permit.

    • Any activity that blocks a ventilation system or shuts off a pollution control device could put that unit out of compliance with the permit.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by Disappointed I was looking forward to making smoothies on a regular basis with this tool but I have not been successful yet. It doesn't chop my ice up it just moves it around. I don't know if my ice cubes are too large or what but it is frustrating. Last night I decided to use ice cream instead of ice. I used fresh frozen black raspberries, 1/2 banana and ice cream and it still wouldn't blend everything together. I had pureed berries and banana but I had to manually mix the ice cream around. Looks like this will become a bargain garage sale item. I am so disappointed. 08/08/2016
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Tiny This makes about half a smoothie. Did not come with two party mugs like the description says. It comes with one mug, one cup that doesn't sit flat so you need to be very careful when adding ingredients and one tiny little cup. Works ok on very small pieces of frozen fruit but wouldn't work on bigger chunks. I bought two but will be returning the one I bought my daughter due to the small size. 08/16/2016

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Very Good I bought the feeding set for my granddaughter. I wanted just the spoon, fork set but it was discontinued. . So for me it was a little pricy for the spoon and fork, but it does come with a larger bowl and smaller on with lid. Bowl needs to have a suction cup on it to make it stick to surface to stay in place The spoon and fork are big. The fork is slightly bent up so the food stays on the fork which is great. 03/15/2013

UCF Reviewing Training Program Following Player's Death

By  |

A review of the University of Central Florida's football training program, ordered after a player died and another collapsed last year, found conditioning activities rigorous "but within the range normal to other Division I football programs."

The review was done by an attorney hired by the university.

The report released Friday recommends better communication
between team physicians and coaches and said the school should
consider hiring an extra athletic trainer for football.

UCF President John Hitt ordered the review after the death of
receiver Ereck Plancher last spring and the collapse of running
back Brandon Davis in December.

Plancher died after taking part in "mat drills" during an offseason conditioning workout last March on the UCF campus.

Braising: Beyond the Basic Pot Roast

CarnitasIf you've used a pressure cooker or slow cooker, or if you've ever made a pot roast, you're already familiar with the technique known as braising, a combination cooking method using both moist and dry heat.

Braised Beef Short RibsIn braising, food (often a relatively whole cut of meat) is first seared at a high temperature, usually on a stovetop. (Some believe searing seals the juicy goodness inside, while others claim you can sear proteins after roasting with the same tasty result.) The seared food is then cooked gently in a covered pot with a small amount of liquid until very tender. Vegetables can often be braised in their own juices and no extra liquid is required, but many braised foods require the addition of a bit of cooking liquid, though not so much as to cover the food. This cooking method doesn't add moisture, but gentle moist heat does help break down connective tissues and collagen in tough proteins, turning them to gelatin, which lubricates and makes meat taste moister. The gelatin also enriches and adds body to the cooking liquid, which is often used as the base of a sauce or gravy.

Braising of meat is often referred to as pot roasting, which is different than pan roasting. In the case of pan roasting, proteins (think chicken breasts, thick chops and steaks) are browned on the stovetop to achieve a flavorful crust, then transferred uncovered to a moderately hot oven to finish. The dry heat of the oven cooks the protein evenly without allowing it to get too dark. (Read more about pan roasting here.)

GOOD QUESTION: What is a Dutch oven?
A Dutch oven is a heavy, thick-walled cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid, typically made of cast iron or enameled steel. It usually holds between 3-6 quarts and is suitable for use both on the stovetop and in the oven. If you don’t have a Dutch oven you can substitute another oven-safe pot with a tight-fitting lid. Interesting to note, there is no practical difference in a Dutch oven or the increasingly common French oven.

Cooking Class: Gravy

Braises naturally produce a wonderful liquid that is great served with the meats and vegetables that produce it (such as the two recipes we’ve shared here) and, in the case of meat braises, can also be used as the basis for a wonderfully rich and flavorful gravy. Here are some tips to bear in mind when attempting a simple gravy:

    • Skim most of the fat from the braising liquid. A fat separator (a modified measuring glass with a spout protruding from below the surface of the liquid) is the easiest way to do this, but you can also just try skimming it with a spoon. Reserve the fat.
    • Strain the remaining liquid through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any solids; set it aside.
    • Use reserved fat (or supplement with olive oil or butter) to make a roux: Heat 2 tbsp. fat in a pan; whisk in 2 tbsp. flour. Cook and stir 1 minute or so until the floury taste cooks off.

(The advantage of cooking the flour in the rendered fat is that you get a chance to cook off the floury taste, but you can also try adding a slurry to the cooking liquid: whisk ¼ cup cold water into 2 tbsp. flour; whisk directly into 1 cup of strained braising liquid.)

  • Slowly whisk in 2 cups of the strained braising liquid (you can supplement with prepared stock, wine or even water). Bring liquid to a low boil and cook for a few minutes until thick. Gravy will thicken the longer you cook it; if needed, add liquid to loosen the gravy.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Selection and availability of ingredients vary by market.

The Challenges Of Wetland Rehabilitation In Poor Societies

By Melissa Wray
In the Bushbuckridge area

Imagine being so poor that every morsel of food that crosses your lips has been grown in laboriously hand-tilled fields laid out in the fertile soil close to a small watercourse, and that this land is slowly drying up and there is no more land left to plant crops in.

These are the circumstances that a quarter of the people, mostly women and children, find themselves in in the Craigieburn wetland in the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains, close to Bushbuckridge. The families occupying the Craigieburn wetland are perfect examples of the theme of this year's World Wetlands Day, "In the face of poverty, wetlands are lifelines."

Almost two-thirds of the families living in the area reported that in the last ten years, hunger has driven them to grow crops in their wetland fields, and 70 percent of the families use the wetlands to help sustain their livelihoods either through growing food in the wetland or harvesting reeds.

The Craigieburn wetland is not only important to the local people living in its immediate vicinity, but also plays a vital ecological role in feeding clean water into the Sand River, the main tributary of the Sabie River, the last remaining river in the Kruger National Park that flows throughout the year.

The wetland is characteristic of a string of wetlands in the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains, and is currently being rehabilitated by Working for Wetlands, due to its ecological importance.

A study of the Craigieburn wetland was presented at an international conference hosted by Wetlands International and supported by the South African National Biodiversity Institute, held in St Lucia at the beginning of February.

It highlighted the challenges of rehabilitating wetlands while incorporating the social needs of the people who rely on them. The study was carried out by a team of scientists in the Association for Water and Rural Development (Award) based at Wits Rural Facility, led by Dr Sharon Pollard.

The Craigieburn wetland study area is populated largely with families forced into the area in the 1960s and 70s by the apartheid government. However, more than half of the wetland fields were opened up since the democratic government came to power in 1994.

The fields are mostly used by whoever initially clears the bush, with some fields being given from one person to another. The wetland was identified as an area of concern a few years ago, as the farmers in the area were convinced that the wetlands were drying out.

This has been confirmed through research, and close attention was paid to how the poor farmers, mostly women, were either helping the wetland survive or speeding up the drying out process.

Study of historical data shows that the wetlands are naturally eroding, but that the human intervention is assisting this process. The very fact that the people are too poor to use machines to help them grow their food, cannot afford herbicides and pesticides and prevent cattle from eating their precious crops by building fences all helps prevent the wetland from being eroded and polluted.

However, the farmers also commonly build raised beds that follow the slope of the land, channelling water flows through the wetland. This increases soil erosion and decreases the amount of water and sediment the wetland traps.

The farmers also engage in several other farming practices, both in the wetland and in the wetland's catchment area, which may harm the wetland but could be modified to help make the wetlands produce better crops in the long term and at the same time help improve the health of the wetland.

Although Working for Wetlands has been rehabilitating areas of the Craigieburn wetland, the rehabilitation process cannot simply be a matter of building structures to stop erosion - it must incorporate the people who cannot survive without the wetland.

The people that live in the wetland have proved to be both willing and enthusiastic about learning more about how wetlands function and how best to conserve them, but there appears to be no effective governing structure that could exert some control over the future of the wetlands.

Traditional authorities are increasingly being ignored in the rural areas, local government has not yet caught up with all the new duties assigned to it, and many of the progressive laws that have been passed in recent years have no practical implementation procedures to back up the legal paperwork.

The authors of the paper conclude that until there is some form of effective community-based governance of communal property like the Craigieburn wetlands, the wetlands will not be effectively used and managed.

Some City Facilities Exempted From Conceal Carry

KSAL Staff - December 30, 2013 3:20 pm

In a special meeting Monday afternoon, Salina City Commissioners exempted several buildings from the Kansa concealed carry law.

Facilities where guns will not be allowed include the Salina Bicentennial Center, the Salina Animal Shelter, the general services facility,  and several of the water treatment plant buildings .

Concealed guns also will not be allowed in the Salina Municipal Court facilty.

Commissioners approved a four year exemption for the buildings.

The municipal court will be the only one of the facilities with electronic security. Salina City Manager Jason Gage said the other buildings while not having electronic security, still all fall under exemption because they have an adequate security plan. He added that the state law mandates that there be an adequate security plan, but does not define exactly what that is.

The Kansas Legislature passed legislation prohibiting many state and local government agencies from banning concealed guns on their premises unless they provide certain security measures. Counties and cities could get an six-month exemption from imposing the measure, but the extension expires Dec. 31. The new four-year exemption will replace the six-month exemption for the Salina buildings.

How to make this Chris Brown synth?

173 posts since 19 Sep, 2011

Postby ramo_and; Tue Feb 21, 2012 11:34 am How to make this Chris Brown synth?

Anyone knows how to make the lead synth in this song?

Sounds like some kind of detuned saw but I can't get it right... Anyone who can help me? :)

You probably couldn't even ask Chris Browns producer how he did it. It's just a sample from the Vengeance Future House 4 pack.. "VFH4 Toxicated Melody 1".

That being said - I totally see you headding the right direction with the detuned saw thing. I'd imagine it being 2-3 osc's, All saws - slightly detuned and some unison, another sound might be on top, or it may be done in the same synth, but there's one on top thats slightly less detuned, and less unison, also some vibrato - and all of this is compressed with some "slow" attack to give this little click/stab before the rest of the sound kicks in..

And (this may seem totally obvious and really unnecessary to comment) some sidechain - but without anything on top. I guess you'd want to do this with regular sidechaining since it's a little bit more easy-customizable and straight forward.. But of course they'd have to use an LFO volume trigger to do this within 1 sound :-)

Hope this can help you a little bit closer until "the pros" gets in here :-)

Take a bunch of saws and some white noise.

I do it with multiple instances of simpler sampler in ableton, all in a instrument rack.

Take two saws both tuned one octave apart and low pass them till you barely hear their "sawness" coming through. (EDIT I noticed in this particulr lead there is not meaty low end pluck so admist this part).

Adjust the decay and and sustain to get the plucked sound.

Then take the rest of the saws and high pass them and detune them each a little bit, and then tune them each at higher octaves.

use short decay, then I personally map the sustain of the highpassed saws to a macro so I can "Open up the sound"

Then work with the white noise with really short decay to get that subtle noise at the top. I noticed that the character of this sound is provided by a white noise hit on the attack of the sound.

Then most likely play them in fifth chords.

Professional Website Translation Services | Kwintessential
The Translation Company

Website Translation Service

International Website Translation Services:: Websites are an integral part of "going global" -  we are experts at website translation, designing and developing websites into foreign languages.

With the steady march of globalisation and internationalisation comes the need for business to promote themselves to a global audience. The website is key to being able to speak to and with clients and customers from around the world.

Our website translation service offers businesses the opportunity to convert their current websites into any language they like - whether one language or a hundred.

We have the translators, designers and developers to guarantee you a top-notch website translation.

What is the Cost of a Website Translation?

Costs are very difficult to scope out without understanding and seeing what is involved in full. On the whole, we can offer either:

  • a: Solely the translation of a website's text or
  • b: Both the translation and design

Option 'a' is calculated on a per word basis as per standard translations; so for example, if your website contained 1000 words of text and was to be translated into Spanish, this would come to £99. Content we need in order to start any translation will include text, meta tags, alt tags, navigation text and anything else that will need translating including images.

Option 'b' on the otherhand needs to look at all aspects of the website design including your CMS, artwork, images, meta information, etc. We can only provide costs for these elements having properly analysed the time needed.

If you need your website translated and have not prepared any content yet, the easiest thing to do is contact one of our team and we will be happy to walk you through your options.

We do Website Translation and do it Well

We love website translation! Check out one of our more recent projects for the Visit Abu Dhabi website [click to visit it].

Abu Dhabi Translated Website

As well as dealing with the translation of web copy, we also dealt with foreign language copywriting, localization and marketing consultancy on some of the key targetted regions the tourism authority identified.

Foreign Language 'Microsites'

Mini Website Translation

Do you want a more economical alternative to our full-blown website translation service?

If so take advantage of our special "microsite" package which creates a mini-version of your website in a foreign language. Perfect for getting across the message and keeping it simple!

Please visit Microsite Translation

Website Localization & Translation

Website localization is the process of modifying an existing website to make it accessible, usable and culturally suitable to a new target audience.

For example, taking an English US focused website and modifying it for a Chinese audience. Part of this process involves the translation of the website content.

Although website translation is in essence similar to normal translation work as it deals with words, sentences and language, it does bring different challenges that need to be considered properly. This is due to the combination of linguistic, visual, technical and financial factors.

Before commencing a website translation project one should ask questions such as:

• Why is this website being translated? Is it to generate revenue or to provide information?
• Who is the target audience? Are they from a particular age group, generation or socio-economic class?
• Are there any language variations? If you are promoting a site in Arabic is it aimed at Gulf Arabs or North African Arabs?
• What impact could culture have on the website translation? Think of possible cross cultural differences in language use, colours, pictures and images.
• Does or will your website change its content frequently? If so, will you need an on-going service that provides small pieces of translation work?
• Does your website designer have the programming capability to deal with new characters and numerals?

All the above questions in one way or another will impact the success of your website localization or translation project.

Visit our Website Localization page for more specific information or for the main languages we cover in this service, use the finder located at the bottom of the page.

Dealing with websites on a daily basis, we have a nifty team of developers and designers that can help build a landing page, update your templates, oversee the application of translated content and much more. We work with all major CMS as well as custom built websites.

    Website Localization

    Website Localization

    Website localization is different to website translation. The latter is involved in the translation of content only. Localization is more about adapting a website to a country or region to make it look, feel and sound like it was built locally. This involves usabillity, design, language and other areas such as currencies, measurements, etc.

Woman, Child Killed in Tour Bus Accident

2-18-06 - PAULS VALLEY, Okla. (AP) A tour bus carrying 45 passengers overturned along an icy interstate today, killing a woman and an 8-year-old boy and injuring dozens of others.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol reports the bus crashed this morning, just south of Pauls Valley in Garvin County.

OHP Lieutenant Stewart Meyer says icy road conditions likely played a role in the crash.

The driver of the bus says a car pulled in front of him suddenly, forcing him to hit the brakes. The bus then slid and overturned.

Driver Miguel Esquada of Forth Worth, Texas, says the 8-year-old boy was sitting in the middle of the bus and was thrown through a window. He and the other victim were trapped underneath the bus.

Pauls Valley firefighter Brent Thompson says the boy was conscious and communicating with rescuers who arrived at the scene.

Thompson said some of the more serious injuries included broken bones, severe lacerations and internal injuries.

One passenger with critical injuries was taken by helicopter to the OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City. At least two other passengers were taken by ambulance to Norman Regional Hospital.

Ana Gonzalez with El Conejo Bus Lines in Dallas says the bus was traveling from Kansas to Dallas, but said she could provide no additional details.

Press Release
Heart disorder genetic variants in stillbirth cases
Wednesday, April 10, 2013

DNA Sequence image Courtesy of Shutterstock

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers from the United States and Europe discovered genetic mutations associated with long QT syndrome (LQTS), a genetic abnormality in the heart's electrical system, in a small number of intrauterine fetal deaths, according to a study in the April 10 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Researchers conducted a molecular genetic evaluation (referred to as a postmortem cardiac channel molecular autopsy) in 91 cases of unexplained fetal death (stillbirths) from 2006-2012. They discovered the prevalence of mutations in the three most common LQTS-susceptible genes, KCNQ1, KCNH2 and SCN5A. Two of the most common genes were discovered in three cases (KCNQ1 and KCNH2); and five of the cases exhibited SCN5A rare non-synonymous genetic variants.

Intrauterine fetal death or still birth happens in approximately one out of every 160 pregnancies and accounts for 50 percent of all perinatal deaths. "We know that the post-mortem evaluation often has not been able to explain these deaths," says Michael J. Ackerman, M.D., Ph.D., pediatric cardiologist at Mayo Clinic and co-study senior author along with Peter J. Schwartz, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Pavia, Italy. "Those of us who study LQTS and treat LQTS patients have often wondered whether LQTS may be the cause of some of these deaths."

In the study, more than 1,300 ostensibly healthy individuals served as controls. In addition, publicly available exome (the entire portion of the genome consisting of protein-coding sequences) databases were assessed for the general population frequency of identified genetic variances.

"Our preliminary evidence suggests that LQTS may be the cause for approximately 5 percent of otherwise unexplained stillbirths and points to the need for further large-scale studies," says Dr. Ackerman, director of Mayo's LQTS Clinic and Windland Smith Rice Cardiovascular Genomics Research Professor. "With LQTS, when we know of its presence, it is a very treatable condition but still more work needs to be done to prevent the family's first tragedy from occurring."

In LQTS, which affects one in 2,000 people, the rapid heartbeats can trigger a sudden fainting spell, seizure, or sudden death. Life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias can occur unexpectedly, mainly during childhood or adolescence. Treatment can involve medication, medical devices, or surgery.

Looking ahead to game four of the LXM PRO Tour, presented by Champion, both Team STX and Maverik United will have to make a few adjustments to their line-ups. This weekend, Maverik United will likely lean heavily on crease attackman, former Salisbury All-American and Adrenaline Athlete Erik Krum, who is averaging four goals per game and second in the Tour for goals scored. Johnny Christmas, the 3 time All-American from University of Virginia who is leading Maverik United in points with 8 goals and 4 assists and former Notre Dame All-American and Adrenaline Athlete Zach Brenneman, who notched his season high of 4 goals in Chicago, will also look to continue their hot streak and lead Maverik United to their second straight victory. Rhamel Bratton, former UVA All-American and Shamel Bratton former UVA All-American honoree, will be a huge presence in the midfield for Maverik United, as they both finished with 2 goals and 1 assist in their debut for Maverik United last month in Chicago. Veteran close defenseman, Hamilton Pollard, with his season average of 5 caused turnovers per game, will be working hard to cover the stacked Team STX attack line with Adrenaline Athletes Max Ritz (4-2) and Peter Baum, former 2012 Tewaarton Winner, who is leading the Tour in assists.

As always, Maverik United will have their hands full covering the extremely talented STX midfield line featuring Kyle Harrison, three time All-American at Johns Hopkins, who has been able to convert all over the field this season  with 3 goals and 4 assists, Sam Bradman who is leading the Tour in overall points with 12 goals and 1 assist and Adrenaline Athlete Xander Ritz who possesses an innate ability to find the back of the net. Matt Drenan, former Blue Jay at Johns Hopkins and San Diego native who grew up playing in the Adrenaline system, will play a crucial role in shutting down the Maverik United attack. Team STX has recently acquired Geoff Worley from Maverik United to add more depth to their offense. “I am excited to earn playing time on such a talented roster. I have gotten to know some of these guys pretty well over the last year, so it’ll be a lot of fun to see what our chemistry is like on the field in matching jerseys,” says Worley.

The fall season opener will mark the debut of the new uniforms designed in collaboration by Adrenaline and Champion. LXM PRO 801 is an event you do not want to miss! Be sure to buy your tickets today at http://adrln.com/shop/categories/tickets/ or watch it live online on at http://www.youtube.com/user/TheLacrosseNetwork.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is offering a chance for beginning turkey hunters to expand their skills and learn even more about the sport. A free "Turkey Hunting 201" course will be offered 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., April 27, at the Limon Community Center.

In order to participate, hunters must have completed hunter education. This course will expand on the skills taught in Turkey Hunting 101. It would benefit the hunter to have previously attended a "Turkey Hunting 101" class, but it is not a prerequisite. This is a field course, and will include information on scouting and hunting techniques.

Hunters need to bring their own shotgun, but targets and other basic turkey hunting equipment will be provided. The class will not actually be hunting turkeys but participants will be target shooting and patterning shotguns with instructor guidance.

The class is limited to 20 participants so advanced registration is required. To register, call 719-227-5200.
