Q: Backreference with sed I am trying to rearrange headers in my fasta file. I thought I could select the first 10 characters, then the rest of the line, and then backreference the first selection to move it to the end.

AY843768_1 Genus species 12S

would then be

Genus species 12S AY843768_1

I need to use sed for a learning exercise, but I am unsure how to make the selections to switch the 10-digit ID to the end of the line for every header in my file.
sed 's/^\(.\{10\}\)(.*$)/\2 \1/g' file1.fasta > file2.fasta

A: This will do it:
sed 's/^\(.\{10\}\) \(.*\)/\2 \1/' file1.fasta > file2.fasta

*

*backslashes at the second braces where missing.

*.* already matches the rest of the line so $ isn't needed

*g isnt needed cause multiple matches per line arent possible if expression begins with ^

Anyway, using ERE instead of BRE makes it more readable:
sed -E 's/^(.{10}) (.*)/\2 \1/' file1.fasta > file2.fasta

OT: Same (or similar) can be achieved with bash only:
while read id rest;do echo "$rest $id";done <file1.fasta >file2.fasta

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen… tear. I have rolled at least a million rolls of toilet paper by now. I have filled boxes and boxes. Pilar says she doesn't give the job to anyone else because I'm just so good at it. Lucky me.
"Keep at it the way you're going. They just might give ju a paying job when jor done with jor community service hours." I keep my thoughts to myself on how that makes me feel. Professional toilet paper roller. I guess that's the kind of job you get with a felony on your record. I need to make a living somehow while on probation for the next three years. Maybe when I'm done some other state with more support for midwives will allow me to catch babies again. Or maybe I can go to the mission field. But for now, we're paying homage to Charmin and praying the last pay check that came in right after sentencing doesn't run out before these hours do.
"What ju do to get a felony?" Pilar asks during break.
I tell her the whole story, start to finish, book report style. She gets more shocked as I do.
"Seriously? They don't got better things to do than come after a midwife? Sheet. They can come down here and scoop up a dealer any day." She laughs.
Jimmy had texted right before my shift. A friend of a friend, we'd never actually met in person. He lives out of state. But he happened to be in town and had been following my situation, so he asked if he could bring me lunch.
Jeremy let him in with a distrusting glance. We sat right inside where he could see us. People don't trust felons. That's just how it is. And this felon had a guy on a motorcycle visiting her after the gate was closed.
Jimmy was a breath of fresh air. He brought me a sandwich, some water, some juice, and best of all… some much needed encouragement. I wasn't very hungry. My system was all upside down from staying awake all night, sleeping in my car in the early morning, working at my old midwifery office doing desk work and then watching my kids before going back to skid row for more. The only things I physically felt were exhaustion and nausea.
After Jimmy left, a woman out on the street started screaming. And she never stopped. It was a wild animal kind of scream, broken only by the typical sirens that blared every hour or so.
A hospital for hearts and souls. Yeah, that's kind of what it is. The folks down here weren't born this way. They got sick somehow, somewhere and came to this street to die. Some of them reach out at the last minute when they've had enough.

Celebrate the Birthday of Thomas Jefferson
The 13th of April will mark the 273rd birthday of one of America's most famous historical figures. Thomas Jefferson made his way through the ranks and quickly became a notable figure in American history. He started out in Shadwell, Virginia and his life is one of the most interesting to look back on.
He was born in 1743 and had 9 other siblings within his family, though there were only two boys. This meant that when his father passed away in 1757, there were only two claims to his property, which was then split between Thomas and his brother Randolph.
Jefferson was a bright young man and at the age of 16, he was already studying a number of complex topics. These included mathematics and metaphysics, which he studied at the College of William & Mary. This afforded him the opportunity to meet famed theorists like Francis Bacon and even Isaac Newton.
His move into law was one that would influence the rest of his life and he began his career as a clerk while he studied. At this time, his love of books was known to everyone that met him as he was renowned for being an avid collector. He didn't enjoy a life without books, which became apparent when his collection of 200 books was destroyed by a fire. Within three years of the incident, he had managed to collect a further 1250 to replace them.
Jefferson passed the bar exam in Virginia and stayed with his mother at his ancestral home while he practiced. At this time, he defended slaves and even aided one with funds that he may have used to escape when his trial did not go to plan.
Later in his life, Jefferson forged a friendship with John and Samuel Adams, the latter of which was the founder of the Sons of Liberty. This gave Jefferson his opportunity to become the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. It took him 17 days to create the first draft of the document, which went through a number of changes when put to Congress. Jefferson had included a paragraph to abolish the slave trade but this was unpopular with the signatories of the document. It was removed, but the famous phrase 'All men are created equal' allowed slaves to argue their slavery was unconstitutional.
After this, Jefferson went on to have an illustrious political career before becoming president in 1801. He had served as vice president and secretary of state prior to this, expertise that arguably won the election. He negotiated the Louisiana Purchase and sent Lewis and Clark on their expedition, meaning he was behind another two influential moments in history.
Although he had served as one of the most important men in American history, Jefferson died in $100K of debt. After his death it was discovered that he had worn a locket with his wife's hair encased within it for 40 years. His home still stands as a tourist attraction to this day and he is respected as a man that gave everything for the country.

SCREEN WONDERS
From Blake Lively as a woman seeking revenge to Margot Robbie returning as Harley Quinn, here's all the films and TV shows we can't wait to watch.
Films of the superhero ilk have been having a bit of a moment in recent years, from the record-breaking success of Black Panther, to the controversial, ongoing Joker press tour. Birds of Prey, set to be released in 2020, sees DC Films fans reunited with one of the most popular Halloween costumes ever, Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn. This time round, Robbie is also producing the film, which she pitched to Warner Bros. herself, and which also stars Ewan McGregor, Always Be My Maybe's Ali Wong and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. From the trailer we can deduce that there'll be more Harley Quinn backstory, more violence and much more fun.
2020 is shaping up to be Harris Dickinson's year, from a recently announced role in the follow-up to the highly popular The Souvenir, to the much-anticipated prequel to the Kingsman series. The King's Man sees Dickinson amongst an all star cast including Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton and Daniel Brühl, as he leads the group attempting to thwart a criminal mastermind's plan of destruction. Set in the early 1900s, the new film takes the super-spy premise back in time to add more context to the hugely popular previous films of the soon-to-be trilogy.
The Rhythm Section
Blake Lively's come a long way from the steps of the Met in Gossip Girl. From 2017's shark-horror The Shallows, where she played basically the only character in the film, to last year's murder-mystery-style thriller A Simple Favour, she's proven that she can do much more than Serena van der Woodsen, and her new film The Rhythm Section looks no different. Sporting a British accent and a short brunette wig, Lively plays a woman seeking revenge after tragically losing her family in a terrorist attack. From the looks of the high-tension, fast-paced trailer, it seems as if she'll stop at nothing to get that revenge.
John Green's young adult books encapsulated the confusion and angst of a generation of teenagers, and their film and TV adaptations followed suit. In the new Hulu series of Looking for Alaska, Lean on Pete's Charlie Plummer and Sierra Burgess is a Loser's Kristine Froseth take on the roles of Pudge and Alaska, who begin a complicated friendship in a woodland-set Alabama high-school. While the trailer doesn't hint at the shocking twist that comes halfway through the novel, it sets up Plummer and Froseth in their leading roles – roles that are sure to propel them to superstardom.
Love Actually, Notting Hill, About A Boy… Hugh Grant's Queen's English accent is, at this point, a given when it comes to his multiple film roles. But in Guy Ritchie's new crime comedy The Gentlemen, Grant has us all shook with his Michael Caine-eque Cockney accent, echoing those in the director's iconic gangster movie Snatch, released almost 20 years ago. The Gentlemen's glittering cast includes Henry Golding, Matthew McConaughey, Colin Farrell and Charlie Hunnam, and the hilarious trailer promises not to disappoint.

Home » Shikra
Accipiter badius
Ashy-grey above; whitish below, close-barred with rust-brown; grey throat-stripe; in flight, the multi-banded tail and roundish wings help identification; golden-yellow eyes and yellow legs and feet seen at close range. The migrant Eurasian Sparrowhawk A. nisus is very similar but a closer look reveals the longer legs, rufous cheek-patch and absence of mesial stripe in nisus. Usually solitary; hides in leafy branches; pounces on unsuspecting prey; occasionally chases small birds; soars over forest.
light forest, open country, neighbourhood of villages, also in cities.
rodents, small birds, lizards, large insects; also robs poultry.
resident; subcontinent, up to 1,600m in the Himalaya.
The Shikra is a common breeding resident and one of our most numerous birds of prey. Like all the hawks, the females are considerably larger than the males. Added to this there is some plumage variation, particularly in the juvenile plumage, which can extend for nearly two years and which is very different from the adults, with heavy streaking below.
Shikras occur in any sort of country with trees. They are a familiar site in the parks and housing colonies as well as agricultural land with scattered trees. They hunt a regular beat, flying low and fast through the trees in search of small birds, mammals, such as palm squirrels, and reptiles, particularly lizards. Often the first sign of their presence is the alarm calls of their potential prey. They also sit on concealed perches watching for prey and probably catch most of their reptile prey from such positions. They are noisy birds with a loud Black Drongo-like "kitou kitou" call, especially in the breeding season. They nest from March to June, so the hatching corresponds with the flush of passerine young.
Early on in the breeding season, both sexes, but particularly the male, engage in a slow soaring flight over their territory to proclaim their occupation. At this time it is easier to get an idea of the true abundance of the species. Shikras also occur in central Asia and tropical Africa.
loud, drongo-like titew…titew.

The future is bright for digital accountability
September 23rd, 2019 ICT4D, Research
Reflections from Programme Manager, Emily Tomkys Valteri on the Your Word Counts Programme as the Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) Responsive Listening through Improved Feedback Mechanisms Project ends.

The Your Word Counts programme has sought to strengthen accountability through feedback mechanisms which are safe, confidential and trustworthy. Beginning as a small HIF pilot in Za'atari refugee camp in Jordan, this grew to a HIF implementation 'Responsive Listening' project spanning five countries in the Middle East which looked to innovate the way in which feedback data is collected, managed and responded to using technology. The evaluation has been completed showing positive results and real impact in accountability and feedback mechanisms. It shows that collecting, managing and responding to feedback received through multiple channels from people with whom we work enables staff to be more informed, take swifter action when required and use evidence to influence the programme where valuable.
Staff consistency has been a key benefit in making this project a success. Not only from my side in Programme Management and the wider ICT in Programme team, who have provided invaluable support over the two years, but also at the country level. Focal points in each country have remained consistent across the two years which has been instrumental to success. The passion and commitment of these staff members, to be accountable to the people Oxfam supports in each country, has created positive programme changes based from the priorities and perceptions of the community members themselves.
Watch the team in Iraq explain how the project works:
What has been surprising?
I always knew that shifting culture takes time and can be painstakingly slow. I am surprised that we have seen a noticeable positive culture shift in accountability. Not only from our staff and partners but also seeing a change at the community level which has filtered down from the work our country teams are doing.
'I am proud that we built trust through transparency, and that communities feel like someone is listening.' Quote from country MEAL staff from the learning event in Iraq, 2019
This remains the largest challenge of the Your Word Counts programme but a shift in this timeframe is a positive path to be on and one that can continue to improve over time.
What hasn't been surprising?
I am not surprised that the technology worked. There has been widespread satisfaction on the use of SurveyCTO as a mobile case management system and PowerBI for data visualisation (connected through Oxfam's programme DataHub). Not only has the technology delivered on expectations, it has proven to be both sustainable and scalable. We made distinct decisions to not build bespoke technology for this (beyond integration) and utilise tools that were available for a manageable price at the country level. Having Oxfam's ICT in Programme team on hand has been a key reason for success but the technology has been the simplest part of this project.
Although the Responsive Listening HIF project has ended, the future is bright for digital accountability. The positive outcomes of this evaluation have shown that the technology and methodology provide an effective platform to improve responsiveness and overall country-level accountability towards staff, partners and the communities Oxfam works in. This project also kickstarted a human centred design research project, where we are further developing our holistic understanding of the varying barriers relating to misconduct reporting among community members and field staff, to understand the conditions where people can come forward and speak up.
The Your Word Counts programme is set to scale. Continuing and scaling within four countries in the HIF project, to an ambition for all Oxfam countries to locally adapt this way of working. This won't simply be a replication of what has been done to date. Strategically, we will be working towards how we can localise and put this in the hands of communities and local partners; adapt to improve ways to safely report misconduct; coordinate with other agencies; use the technology for social accountability to link citizen feedback with governments. We can't do this all at once, but scaling will look to push the boundaries further so that we can continue to harness the power that digital technology can bring to the accountability journey both for Oxfam and the wider sector. I would love to hear from others facing similar challenges and we are looking for ways collaborate and share learning.

Munchers on Hooves is WMU's go-to solution for clearing pesky woodlots
WMU hires goats to clear landscape on campus
Gallery: WMU hires goats to clear landscape on campus
By Natasha Blakely | nblakel1@mlive.com
KALAMAZOO, MI -- Western Michigan University has had a problem maintaining some of its woodlots over the years, but has hit upon an environmentally friendly solution: goats.
The university has hired Munchers on Hooves, a company that rents out goats, to do landscaping on campus over the summer.
Nick Gooch, WMU horticulturist and landscape services staff, explained the need:
"There's a lot of construction that goes on. So the constant disturbance to campus causes the woodlots to, the quality to degrade. It's nature trying to repair itself with all these opportunistic plants and a lot of these plants that are opportunistic tend to be invasive. They're not real attractive, it's just really thick, it's difficult to work in here and we've been using manpower and machinery over the years to try to manage it."
Manpower and machinery had been unsuccessful for the most part. Workers were getting injured from the uneven terrain or reacting to the poison ivy. The machinery was leaving huge footprints, and weed seeds were being brought to the surface.
"It's almost like the more work you do, the worse you make it," Gooch said.
That's where the goats come in. WMU did a test run with the goats on a half-acre in 2016. It went well enough that the university has expanded to using the goats to clear 15 acres this year.
There are numerous reasons why the goats are good for the campus work. They have a great appetite, are evolved to walk on the type of terrain in the woodlots, their stomachs break down weed seeds, their manure fertilizes the soil, they create less disturbance to the site and they love poison ivy, said Gooch.
Right now, the goats are working on the area by Parking Lot 51, right by the Sindecuse Health Center. The area is by the Goldsworth Valley Pond, which is why it was selected.
"We just improved the pond out here recently," Gooch said. "So we have this beautiful pond, and if you look adjacent to the pond we have this thick nasty wood that doesn't do a whole lot for this pond."
The goats have been there for two weeks already, with 10 weeks to go. They stay onsite 24 hours a day, with an electric fence that both protects them from predators and keeps them from wandering off.
One of the goats is a seven-week-old girl whose mom, Mucha, was part of the crew at WMU last year. The owners of Munchers on Hooves let WMU name her, and in an informal ceremony on Friday, June 2, they announced that the kid's name is officially Buster.
Munchers on Hooves does residential contracts for the most part, and WMU is the largest contract it has had yet. Because of the contract, the company has gotten more business, which is part of why they offered to let the university name the goat.
"We got quite a few calls," said Garrett Fickle, one of the owners of Munchers on Hooves. "After that we went from not knowing if we were gonna have any work to overwhelming. It's been the same thing this year. We've got right now about a month, a month-and-a-half booked out and still getting calls."
The goats will be gone mid-August, before fall semester starts up again.

Let's call the driver D., D. woke up at 5am and I was his first pickup of the day, the last one he picked up was the night before at 11pm. Quick calculation, less than 6 hours of sleep. He assures me that's normal nowadays, if he doesn't do so many hours, he doesn't earn enough anymore.
He's been driving for Uber for more than 9 months now, in that time his earnings dropped by 40%...FORTY !!! Damn!
He has a wife and 2 kids, a house to pay for, the car, insurance, ... Life in San Francisco can be expensive.
You make more at McDonalds! The strategy Uber is using will lead them to a difficult situation... Why?
Drivers earn good money the first 2 - 3 months, then they are reduced to a lower earning.
Drivers wanting to earn enough, need to work for 17 hours, have you been driving for 17 hours? How was your concentration?
Uber matches the rides, the driver doesn't know where he has to go to until the passenger enters the car.
I heard a lot more during my ride, but these are the ones that kept popping up in my mind.

Fludeoxyglucose F 18 Injection
» Fludeoxyglucose F 18 Injection is a sterile, aqueous solution, suitable for intravenous administration, of 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose in which a portion of the molecules are labeled with radioactive 18F (see Radiopharmaceuticals for Positron Emission Tomography—Compounding 823 ). It contains not less than 90.0 percent and not more than 110.0 percent of the labeled amount of 18F expressed in MBq (mCi) per mL at the time indicated in the labeling. It may contain suitable preservatives and/or stabilizing agents.
Specific activity: no carrier added.
Packaging and storage— Preserve in single-dose or multiple-dose containers that are adequately shielded.
Labeling— Label it to include the following, in addition to the information specified for Labeling under Injection 1 : the time and date of calibration; the amount of 18F as fludeoxyglucose expressed as total MBq (mCi) per mL, at time of calibration; the expiration time and date; the name and quantity of any added preservative or stabilizer; and the statement "Caution—Radioactive Material." The labeling indicates, that in making dosage calculations, correction is to be made for radioactive decay. The radioactive half-life of 18F is 109.7 minutes. The label indicates "Do not use if cloudy or if it contains particulate matter."
USP Endotoxin RS.
USP Fludeoxyglucose RS.
USP Fludeoxyglucose Related Compound A RS .
USP Fludeoxyglucose Related Compound B RS .
A: Radionuclidic identity—Its half-life, determined using a suitable detector system (see Radioactivity 821 ), is between 105 and 115 minutes.
B: Radiochemical identity—The RF value of Fludeoxyglucose F 18 in the chromatogram of the Test solution corresponds to that in the chromatogram of the Standard solution, as obtained in the Radiochemical purity test.
Bacterial endotoxins 85 (see Sterilization and Sterility Assurance under Radiopharmaceuticals for Positron Emission Tomography—Compounding 823 )— It contains not more than 175/V USP Endotoxin Unit per mL of the Injection, in which V is the maximum administered total dose, in mL, at the expiration time.
pH 791 : between 4.5 and 7.5.
Radiochemical purity—
Standard solution— Dissolve 10 mg of USP Fludeoxyglucose RS in 100 mL of acetonitrile and water (95:5). (The USP Fludeoxyglucose RS that is specified in this test is nonradioactive 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-d-glucose [molecular weight 182.15].)
Test solution— Use the Injection.
Procedure— Apply a volume of Injection, appropriately diluted such that it provides a count rate suitable for the radioactivity detection system being utilized, to an activated silica gel thin-layer chromatographic plate (see Chromatography 621 ). Apply about 10 µL of the Standard solution to the same chromatographic plate. Develop the chromatogram in a solvent system consisting of a mixture of acetonitrile and water (95:5) until the solvent has moved about three-fourths of the length of the plate. Remove the plate, and allow the chromatogram to dry. Determine the radioactivity distribution by scanning the chromatogram with a suitable collimated radiation detector. Determine the location of the Fludeoxyglucose by spraying the developed chromatographic plate with 2 N sulfuric acid and heating the plate at 110 for 10 minutes: the RF value of Fludeoxyglucose F 18 (determined by radiochromatogram scanning) corresponds to that of the Standard solution (about 0.4); the radioactivity of Fludeoxyglucose F 18 is not less than 90% of the total radioactivity.
Radionuclidic purity— Using a suitable gamma-ray spectrometer (see Selection of a Counting Assembly under Radioactivity 821 ), count an appropriate aliquot of the Injection for a period of time sufficient to collect a gamma spectrum. The resultant gamma spectrum should be analyzed for the presence of identifiable photopeaks which are not characteristic of 18F emissions. Not less than 99.5% of the observed gamma emissions should correspond to the 0.511 MeV, 1.022 MeV, or Compton scatter peaks of 18F.

Chemical purity— [Note—The methods and limits described in this section relate to potential impurities associated with the acid-hydrolysis method of synthesis for the Injection. Specific examples include aminopolyether (KryptofixR) and 2-chloro-2-deoxy-d-glucose. If methods of synthesis that may result in different impurities are used, the presence of unlabeled ingredients, reagents, and by-products specific to the process must be controlled, and their potential for physiological or pharmacological effects must be considered (see Radiopharmaceuticals for Positron Emission Tomography—Compounding 823 ). Any ingredients with toxic potential must be within appropriate limits, and conformance with these limits is to be demonstrated by the use of one or more validated limit tests.]
limit of aminopolyether— [Note—This test must be performed for Fludeoxyglucose F 18 produced by any route of synthesis that uses this reagent.]
Absorbent: 0.25-mm layer of chromatographic silica gel.1
Standard solution— Dissolve an accurately weighed quantity of USP Fludeoxyglucose Related Compound A RS in saline TS to obtain a solution having a known concentration of 50 µg per mL.
Application volume: about 1 µL.
Developing solvent system: a mixture of methanol and 30% ammonium hydroxide (9:1).
Procedure— Proceed as directed for Thin-Layer Chromatography under Chromatography 621 . Place the plate in a chamber containing iodine crystals. Develop the plate until a spot is visible on the chromatogram of the Standard solution: the size and intensity of the spot obtained from the Test solution does not exceed that obtained from the Standard solution.
limit of 2-chloro-2-deoxy-d-glucose— [Note—This test is performed when the nucleophilic synthesis includes hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid or the use of anionic exchange resins in the chloride form to trap fluoride 18F released from the target prior to its use in the synthesis of Fludeoxyglucose F 18.]
Mobile phase— Dissolve about 16 g of 50% sodium hydroxide solution in 1000 mL of water, filter, and degas by sparging with helium.
System suitability solution— Dissolve accurately weighed quantities of USP Fludeoxyglucose RS and USP Fludeoxyglucose Related Compound B RS in Mobile phase to obtain a solution having known concentrations of 1.0 mg per mL and 0.1 mg per mL, respectively.
Standard solution— Dissolve an accurately weighed quantity of USP Fludeoxyglucose Related Compound B RS in water to obtain a solution having a known concentration of 0.1 mg per mL.
Chromatographic system (see Chromatography 621 )— The liquid chromatograph is equipped with a pulsed amperometric detector and a 4.0-mm × 25-cm column that contains 10-µm packing L46. The flow rate is adjusted to about 0.5 mL per minute. Chromatograph the Standard solution and the System suitability solution, and record the peak responses as directed for Procedure: the resolution, R, between fludeoxyglucose and fludeoxyglucose related compound B is not less than 1.5; and the relative standard deviation for replicate injections is not more than 5%.
Procedure— Separately inject equal volumes (about 100 µL) of the Standard solution and the Test solution into the chromatograph, record the chromatograms, and measure the areas for the major peaks. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of 2-chloro-2-deoxy-d-glucose in each mL of the Injection taken by the formula:
C(rU / rS)
in which C is the concentration, in mg per mL, of USP Fludeoxyglucose Related Compound B RS in the Standard solution; and rU and rS are the 2-chloro-2-deoxy-d-glucose peak areas obtained from the Test solution and the Standard solution, respectively: not more than 1 mg per dose 4 is found. 4
Standard solutions— Prepare separate aqueous solutions of ether, acetonitrile, and dehydrated alcohol having known concentrations of 0.1%, 0.01%, and 0.1%, respectively.
Test solutions— Use the Injection.
Chromatographic system (see Chromatography 621 )— The gas chromatograph is equipped with a flame-ionization detector, a splitless injector system, and a 0.53-mm × 30-m fused-silica column coated with a 0.25-µm, chemically cross-linked G16 stationary phase. The carrier gas is helium, flowing at a rate of 10 mL per minute. (Nitrogen may be used as a makeup gas.) The chromatograph is programmed as follows. Initially the temperature is maintained at 40 for 2 minutes, then the temperature is increased at a rate of 20 per minute to 130 , and maintained at 130 for 5.5 minutes. The injection port and detector temperatures are maintained at 250 and 300 , respectively. Inject the Standard solutions, and record the identity peak responses as directed for Procedure: the resolution, R, between any two components is not less than 1.0; and the relative standard deviation for replicate injections is not more than 5%.
Procedure— Separately inject equal volumes (about 1 µL) of the Standard solutions and the Test solution into the chromatograph, record the chromatograms, and measure the peak responses. Calculate the percentage of acetonitrile, ether, and alcohol in the Injection by the formula:
C(ri / rS)
in which C is the percentage of the relevant analyte in the Standard solution; and ri and rS are the peak responses of the relevant analyte obtained from the Test solution, if any, and the Standard solution, respectively: not more than 0.04% of acetonitrile is found; not more than 0.5% of ether is found; and not more than 0.5% of alcohol is found.
Other requirements— It meets the requirements under Injections 1 , except that the Injection may be distributed or dispensed prior to completion of the test for Sterility 71 , the latter test being started within 24 hours of final manufacture, and except that it is not subject to the recommendation of Volume in Container.

Like any great endeavor, science and research needs financial backing. But what is a research scientist to do when the company backing the research is also the subject of the research?
A lecture on ethical issues associated with conflicts of interest in scientific research will be presented on Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. in the Wall Auditorium at Coastal Carolina University. The event is free and open to the public.
Kevin Elliott, an associate professor of philosophy at the University of South Carolina, will focus on the financial conflicts of interest in scientific research, such as the funding by pharmaceutical and chemical companies of research to evaluate their own products, including safety testing of new drugs and pesticides.
"My talk will argue that we should be concerned about these financial conflicts of interest, and I will discuss the ethical significance of them - namely, that these scientific results influence regulations and public policies that influence the health and economic well-being of many people," says Elliott. "I will also draw on some psychological research about moral behavior to argue for specific solutions to these problems."
Elliott is a graduate of Wheaton College, where he earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry and philosophy. He earned master's and doctorate degrees from the University of Notre Dame in history and philosophy of science. Elliott has also received numerous accolades, including the 2010 Michael J. Mungo Undergraduate Teaching Award and the 2011 Breakthrough Rising Star Award, both from USC.

Porsche Carrera GT Exterior
The 2004 Carrera GT has two, removable carbon fiber roof panels. It has large headlamps, with a long and flat nose. Its front bumper resembled that of the Porsche 911, which it is based from.
It has a flat deck around the back with an anti-roll bar. Its taillights were integrated into the raised fenders. The rear wing raises at speed to provide a better drag coefficient.
When you look it from the side, you'll notice the distinctive design of this supercar. Its flat body and long rear deck give it a unique look.
Porsche Carrera GT Side View
What's more impressive with the Carrera GT is the inclusion of two carbon fiber panels in this car. The panels are very lightweight weighing just 6.4 pounds. These are also small enough to be stored in a front luggage compartment.
It comes in five standard colors—Guards Red, GT Silver, Seal Grey, Basalt Black, and Fayence Yellow. But Porsche also offered customers customized colors via its options list.
Porsche Carrera GT Interior
The interior of the Carrera GT has a clean design that is different from the cabin of other supercars in its time. Instead of putting wide and cluttered center consoles, Porsche decided to have a simpler look for the Carrera GT.
There's less space between the seats. A light magnesium case is located on top of the center console, where all buttons and switches are found. The dashboard is primarily magnesium, with some bits of leather and carbon fiber around the steer wheel.
Interior of Carrera GT
The seats are also made of carbon fiber with Kevlar, making it the first production car in the world with seats made of the said material. The seats of the Carrera GT are very lightweight, tipping the scales at a shade under 23 pounds. To give you a perspective, that's about half the weight of a regular Porsche seat.
Porsche Carrera GT Price
The Porsche Carrera GT was in production from 2004 to 2007. Back in the day, the Porsche Carrera GT fetched an outrageous amount of $448,000.
Rear View Carrera GT
But since Porsche no longer produces these cars, the only way you can own one is to buy a second-hand unit. The price, though, is more than double of the original price. Today, a second hand Porsche Carrera GT starts at a cost of $800,000.
Porsche Carrera GT Celebrity Owners
Despite being out of production since 2007, the Porsche Carrera GT remains very popular. In fact, many celebrities are proud owners of this supercar.
Porsche Carrera GT Front View
Popular TV host Jay Leno, a known car enthusiast, is one proud owner of a Porsche Carrera GT. Other celebrities who have a Carrera GT in their garages are Tim Allen and Jerry Seinfeld.
Because the Porsche Carrera GT isn't the easiest car to drive, and with the number of accidents that it has figured in, the number of units around the world continues to decline.
Red Carrera GT
But the declining number of units cannot take away the fact that the Porsche Carrera GT is one of the most powerful supercars known to man. From its race car (le man prototype), concept car beginnings to the production Carerra gt this is an awesome car.

Humanities office plans art show to display creative talents at School of Medicine
10/04/2021 -PRNHumanities, sirridge office of medical humanities and bioethicsKelly Edwards
The UMKC School of Medicine's Sirridge Office of Humanities and Bioethics is planning an event for students, staff and faulty to show off their creative sides. Participants in the Beyond Human Factor Art Show will have the opportunity to showcase their artwork, photography and poetry.
This year's event is scheduled to take place at 5:30 p.m. at the Diastole Scholars Center on Nov. 9.
The program is an extension of the office's printed publication, Human Factor, which celebrates the connection between art, humanities and the practice of medicine. The magazine provides an outlet for the School of Medicine community to display its creative and imaginative talents. It is typically published each fall.
Art show participants do not have to be previously published in the Human Factor to take part.
Anyone interested in sharing their artwork, photography or in signing up to participate in the poetry reading during the year's art show should contact Sarah McKee, senior office support specialist, at hallse@umkc.edu.
Sirridge lecturer looks at how visual images bring health care into focus
03/30/2021 -PRN, HumanitiesFaculty, Sirridge Lecture, sirridge office of medical humanities and bioethics, StudentsKelly Edwards
The many forms of media — from movies to photographs and even YouTube videos — serve as an opening for analysis and discussion of individual experiences with illness and disability, said Therese Jones, Ph.D., associate director of the Center for Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
Jones served as the keynote speaker for the UMKC School of Medicine's 2021 Sirridge Lecture in an online format on March 30.
Jones, who also is the director of the Colorado school's Arts and Humanities in Healthcare Program, said these images offer an evocative illustration of health care issues ranging from access to care to life and even racism.
"These works can foster empathic responses, sharpen critical thinking and develop communication skills, especially in our work with health profession students," Jones said. "Visual materials can serve as openings for our students to critique the culture of health care itself."
She shared that 56 percent of children between the ages of 8 and 12 and 69 percent of teens from 13 to 18 years old use YouTube for educational reasons, including science topics. She also noted how images shared from cell phone photos and videos often play a crucial role in rallying social and political responses to confront issues and act as a catalyst for reform.
Jones also spoke about how many humanities programs in health professions schools share a common method of developing observational skills, critical thinking and empathy through student interaction with the visual arts from paintings and photography to visiting art galleries and museums. The School of Medicine provides similar opportunities in its humanities curriculum.
Jones explained a new thinking in academic medicine that focuses on art as an opportunity to unveil what is hidden in the images and recognizing what is unique or strange in what otherwise seems ordinary.
"The arts-based curriculum is designed to be a process, rather than an event in which learners move from the neutral position of looking to an implicated position of the witnessing," Jones said. "They realize that seeing is more than description. That scene is filtered through their personal values and our cultural norms. And these inhibit nuanced, even contradictory observations."
The goal, she explained, is to take participants from a sense of self-awareness to self-criticism, and teaching observation as a pathway to a more humane approach to health care.
A native Kansan who received both her bachelor's and master's degrees in theater arts and English at Pittsburg State University in Kansas, Jones received a Ph.D. in English in Colorado before taking a postdoctoral fellowship in medical humanities in Ohio. She currently teaches health, humanities and disability studies at the University of Colorado schools of medicine and pharmacy, and in physical therapy and physician assistance programs among others.
The Sirridge Lecture is named for William T. Sirridge, M.D., and his wife, Marjorie S. Sirridge, M.D., two of the UMKC School of Medicine's original docents who viewed the humanities as an essential part of students' medical training.
Dr. Brian Carter delivers 25th annual Sirridge humanities lecture
04/01/2019 -PRNMedical Humanities, sirridge office of medical humanities and bioethicsKelly Edwards
Brian Carter, M.D., delivered the 2019 William T. Sirridge, M.D., Medical Humanities Lectureship at the School of Medicine on March 28.
Brian Carter, M.D., an international expert in neonatal intensive care outcomes, medical bioethics and pediatric palliative care presented the 25th annual William T. Sirridge, M.D., Medical Humanities Lecture on March 28 at the School of Medicine.
An author of three textbooks on neonatal intensive care and palliative care, Carter shared his observations of how physicians can help parents deal the reality of a young child facing life-altering challenges.
He talked about helping them learn to adjust and accommodate the realities of a child's condition that they can't change.
He said parents and family of children in a NICU typically are fearful and anxious, maybe even desperate as they realize their dreams for their children are being shattered. He said parents go through a process of grasping the situation, trying to understand what decisions need to be made, who can help make them, and understanding all the facts they need to learn.
"If all I'm doing is providing more information and not tending to where they are in the process, they'll be stuck," Carter said. "They need to move forward. We need to recognize where they are in the process as we speak to them and try to usher them through."
Carter joined the School of Medicine and Children's Mercy Hospital in 2012 as a Professor of Pediatrics and Bioethics. He serves as co-director of the Children's Mercy Bioethics Center's Pediatric Bioethics Certificate Course and practices at Children's Mercy Hospital as a neonatologist.
The recipient of numerous NIH grants, he has published extensively in the areas of neonatology, neonatal intensive care, palliative care, and bioethics.
He said that while clinicians in the NICU have the benefit of experience and understanding the outcomes of children in intensive care, they need to be cognizant of the needs of parents and families of these children.
"Let's move away from information overload," he said. "We ourselves need to sit down with the family and find out where they're at, if they need someone to help them move forward."
School of Medicine appoints new William T. and Marjorie Sirridge Professor in Medical Humanities
01/12/2018 -PRN, FacultyAppointments, Faculty, sirridge office of medical humanities and bioethicsKelly Edwards
Brian Carter, M.D.
The UMKC School of Medicine has announced that Brian Carter, M.D., will serve as the next William T. and Marjorie Sirridge Professor in Medical Humanities.
An internationally-recognized expert in medical bioethics and neonatal palliative care, Dr. Carter is the recipient of numerous NIH grants. He has published extensively in the areas of neonatology, neonatal intensive care, palliative care, and bioethics. Carter is the author of three textbooks on neonatal intensive and palliative care.
Carter is a graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Medicine and is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. He completed his postgraduate training at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center and the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.
He is board certified in pediatrics and neonatal-perinatal medicine. Carter served as an active duty U.S. Army Medical Corps officer from 1983 though 1996 and is a decorated Gulf War veteran.
The William T. and Marjorie Sirridge Professorship in Medical Humanities was endowed in 2008 though the generosity of Drs. William and Marjorie Sirridge, two of the UMKC School of Medicine's Founding Docents.
Everyday Ob/Gyn practices face complex ethical issues
09/20/2016 -PRN, LectureshipsSirridge Lecture, sirridge office of medical humanities and bioethicsGreg Hack
Susan Mou, M.D., delivered the 2016 Marjorie S. Sirridge (left), M.D., Outstanding Women in Medicine Lecture and was recognized afterward by Marilyn M. Pesto, director of the Sirridge Office of Medical Humanities and Bioethics.
Physicians in obstetrics and gynecology continually face complex, evolving ethical questions, and they need thoughtful processes and diverse support to make their best decisions.
That was the message of Susan M. Mou, M.D., an associate professor in the School of Medicine's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, who delivered the Marjorie S. Sirridge, M.D., Outstanding Women in Medicine Lecture on Sept. 15 at the school.
Mou started her address, "Ethics in Reproductive Medicine," by saying she was a general obstetrician/gynecologist and "not a bioethical scholar." Rather than offering answers, she wanted to share what's going on "in the trenches" and get students thinking about ever-present ethical issues.
Mou said such issues and questions had existed throughout her career, starting with her residency at the University of Rochester, when steroid use for likely premature deliveries was relatively new. The questions have kept changing, she noted, with advances in many areas, from in vitro fertilization and reproductive endocrinology to HIV treatment.
Such questions often involve weighing possibly competing interests, Mou said, such as fetal health versus maternal health, or a mother's autonomy and emotional needs versus what appears best for her physical health.
Difficult pregnancies make for difficult questions, such as when a fetal condition makes a live birth unlikely, and interventions to promote live birth might not be in the mother's long-term health interests. But physicians must consider whether to take those steps, and how far to go with them, Mou said, when the mother has expressed a great desire for the chance to hold her live baby.
According to Mou, the models for evaluating such questions also have evolved, so that a woman's culture and living conditions and communal network can be considered, along with traditional principals such as autonomy, justice and beneficence.
Treatment and care can be more effective, for example, when they account for barriers such as transportation and work schedules, rather than judging a woman for missing neonatal care appointments. Mou also said approaches that see care for pregnant women as the best way to also care for their developing fetuses can overcome past perceptions of conflict between maternal and fetal well-being.
The growth of bioethics studies and decision committees has resulted in practicing physicians getting more help and support in making the toughest calls, Mou said.
"We need to be aware of ethical principles and practices. We need to utilize ethics committees and other resources. It's so important to have the Sirridge Office of Medical Humanities & Bioethics" at the School of Medicine.
Though Mou claimed no credentials as a bioethicist, she has been a leader in women's health teaching and treatment for more than three decades.
She is the director of the Breast Clinic and OB Simulation for Truman Medical Centers, and has special interests in general obstetrics and gynecology, pediatric and adolescent gynecology, peri-menopausal issues, vaginitis, and infection disease in obstetrics and gynecology.
Her Sirridge lecture followed more than 90 presentations she has given from coast to coast, including Milestones and STI Lectures at UMKC. Mou's more than 60 publications include research studies, book chapters and abstracts. She provides peer review for the Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine and for abstracts for the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Mou began teaching at the School of Medicine in 1984. She was director of the school's residency program in obstetrics and gynecology with Truman Medical Centers and Children's Mercy Hospital from July 2012 to September 2014. Mou was section chief for gynecology surgery at Children's Mercy in the 1990s.
Several members of the Sirridge family attended the lecture this year. The Marjorie S. Sirridge, M.D., Outstanding Women in Medicine Lectureship was established in 1997 to recognize Dr. Sirridge's dedication, compassion and advancement of patient care and medical education in Kansas City.
Munro presents 22nd annual medical humanities lecture
Stuart Munro, M.D., presented the annual William T. Sirridge, M.D., Medical Humanities Lecture on March 24.
Art has long been a tool used to enhance one's understanding of the science of medicine at the UMKC School of Medicine. Stuart Munro, M.D., adjunct professor of medical humanities and bioethics, discussed how a balance of the two makes for a more effective physician.
Munro was the keynote speaker on Thursday, March 24, for the 22nd annual William T. Sirridge, M.D., Medical Humanities Lecture.
Patrick Sirridge, one of Sirridge's four children, opened the lecture with a brief photo history of his father during his time as a physician and docent at the School of Medicine. William Sirridge and his wife, Marjorie Sirridge, M.D., served as two of the school's founding docents. Their fondness for the arts and literature led the couple to establish the Sirridge Office of Medical Humanities. The office is now part of the school's Department of Medical Humanities and Bioethics that was created in 2013.
Munro, a long-time faculty member at the School of Medicine, served as inaugural chair of the department. He explained that in the early years of the school's history, docents instructed students in not only the clinical skills of medicine, but also taught the basic science classes.
"And I'm sure that Bill and Marjorie managed to sneak in some humanities along the way," he said.
Blending the various arts that are part of the school's humanities curriculum with the science of medicine enables physicians to see their patients in a different light and with a fuller understanding, Munro said. He said it also helps them to grow their body of medical knowledge, while achieving greater satisfaction in their careers and personal lives.
Medicine demands a balance of the two, Munro said.
"Science is important, but it's not enough," he said. "The humanities are important, but they're not enough. Science and the humanities, we have to find the middle ground."
Munro joined the School of Medicine in 1985 as an assistant professor of psychiatry. He served as chair of psychiatry at the School of Medicine for nearly 12 years, and currently is course director for behavioral science and for the humanities course in music and medicine.
"Students are as creative and as eager to find their humanity as ever," he said. "If we can help them do it, then I don't feel pessimistic about the future of medicine."
Alumnus explores the qualities of mercy in humanities lecture
03/27/2015 -PRNAlumni, Humanities, sirridge office of medical humanities and bioethicsKelly Edwards
Daniel Hall-Flavin, M.D. '79, gave the annual William T. Sirridge, M.D., Medical Humanities Lecture on Thursday, March 26, at the School of Medicine.
Daniel Hall-Flavin, M.D. '79, says he was struck by the concept of mercy as a young medical student just getting started at the School of Medicine. The notion of compassion toward others continued to develop further throughout his medical school career by following the lead of the school's docents, who modeled for students a compassionate style of care.
Today, Hall-Flavin shares those same characteristics of mercy and compassion with his patients and others as an associate professor of psychiatry at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine. Hall-Flavin spoke on the Quality of Mercy in delivering the annual William T. Sirridge, M.D., Medical Humanities Lecture on Thursday, March 25, at the School of Medicine.
His talk explored the meaning of mercy and its role in our traditions, the spiritual domain and in its relationship to justice. He also shared how William Sirridge and his wife, Marjorie Sirridge, M.D., who served as Hall-Flavin's docent, taught medical students how to treat their patients with empathy.
"He and Dr. Marjorie, along with other founding faculty, set the bar for docents for this medical school then, now and always for the future," Hall-Flavin said.
Hall-Flavin said that William Sirridge often shared stories of medicine and caring for patients that filled his students with confidence and good humor.
"It was like being around a medical camp fire," Hall-Flavin said.
The day turned out to be an extra special affair for Hall-Flavin. Prior to giving this year's medical humanities lecture, Hall-Flavin received word that he was selected to take part in a master's program in medical humanities at the King's College in London. He has been a visitor at the center for neuroethics at the University of Oxford and is currently a member of the Oxford Round Table, an organization that promotes education, art, science, religion and charity through academic conferences and scholarly papers.
Harvard professor shares healing power of music
06/06/2014 -PRNAnnouncements, events, lecture, sirridge office of medical humanities and bioethicsJoseph Cook
Lisa Wong, M.D., professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and author of Scales to Scalpels, discussed "Music and Medicine" at the School of Medicine on June 5 for the Sirridge Office of Medical Humanities & Bioethics-sponsored lecture.
Music and medicine have always gone hand in hand, said Lisa Wong, M.D., during her "Medicine and Music" lecture at the School of Medicine on June 5.
"In fact, Apollo was not only the god of sun, truth and healing, but he was also a musician," she said.
The Sirridge Office of Medical Humanities and Bioethics invited Wong, associate professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and a pediatrician with Milton Pediatrics in Boston, to share her experience with the healing power of music. A trained musician since age 4, Wong is the author
of Scales to Scalpels: Doctors Who Practice the Healing Arts of Music and Medicine, which tells the story of the volunteer musicians from the Boston medical community who comprise the Longwood Symphony Orchestra.
Wong grew up in Hawaii and attended Punahou School for kindergarten through twelfth grade. Punahou boasts graduates who are musically inclined and have gone on to win Tony awards and to be the president of the United States, Barrack Obama. After graduating from Harvard, Wong attended NYU Medical School where she found colleagues who were also artists. Since then, she has been able to incorporate music into her daily life and career and was president of the Longwood Symphony Orchestra for 20 years.
During her interactive lecture, Wong discussed the power of music and its role in medicine and healing.
"Learning music is similar to medical training," she said. "Is it music or medicine when you're evaluating data, looking at a piece of music or a lab sheet – looking for patterns."
She has traveled the world with various volunteer efforts, including El Sistema, a music-for-social-change program in Venezuela.
"I always knew I wanted to take care of children through music," Wong said.
Lynn Chang, Wong's husband and a professor at the Boston Conservatory and world-renowned violinist, performs "Jasmine Flower," which he played during the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony honoring Liu Xiaobo.
Wong met her husband, Lynn Chang, professor at the Boston Conservatory and world renown violinist, while an undergraduate student at Harvard. Chang told the School of Medicine audience his story of performing during the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony and played "Jasmine Flower," which he performed at the ceremony honoring Liu Xiaobo. He also explained the power music can have for a community. At the time of the 2010 ceremony, the Chinese government did not allow any Chinese citizens to attend the ceremony.
Xiaobo was an advocate of political reform and human rights in China and was publically critical of the Chinese communist regime. He was a prominent figure during the Tiananmen Square protests, calling for peaceful negotiations between students and the government. Xiaobo was famously absent for the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony, as he was still imprisoned by the Chinese government, and his medal and diploma were displayed on an empty chair.
In the past, "Jasmine Flower" served as an anthem for the Chinese people, Chang said, and after he played it at the ceremony, it was banned for three years in China. But, Chang said, it had a profound effect on those who learned it was played for Xiaobo, bringing the sense of camaraderie back among the people.
Music is used in many ways. At each Nobel Prize ceremony, music is played to highlight its significance. Wong said the best kind of music is that played from the heart. The Longwood Symphony Orchestra is full of those, she said, who play with compassion.
"There aren't a lot of business orchestras or law orchestras," she said. "But there's something about music and medicine that brings us together."

Prime Minister Imran Khan's team is "incompetent and corrupt: Bilawal
Published in KP & FATA
File Photo PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari
PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Monday that Prime Minister Imran Khan's team is "incompetent and corrupt".
He made the comments on Monday while addressing a Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) gathering in Malakand. The political gathering is also being attended by JUI-F and PDM chief Maulana Fazl ur Rehman and PML-N's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chapter chief Amir Muqam.
Bilawal said the people of Malakand chased away terrorists from our soil. "We remember who stood by you and who sided with the terrorists. We are proud that you wave the Pakistan flag here. You stood with the Pakistan Army and defeated the terrorists."
Bilawal also slammed the incumbent premier for calling the protesting families of the Machh massacre victims "blackmailers".
"What kind of justice is this? Instead of going to the victims, the prime minister called them to him."
Speaking of the problems the country's middle-class and poor segments were facing, the PPP chief said Pakistan's inflation was the highest in the entire region. "We're fighting historical poverty and inflation. This is the Naya Pakistan," he said.
Bilawal said PM Imran Khan's team consists of incompetent and corrupt individuals. "Each citizen of Malakand has only one demand and that is for the 'selected' to go. These 'tabdeeli' peddlers are frauds.."
All promises he and his party had made to the people were fulfilled, he said, adding that his grandfather, former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, had promised to abolish the Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR) system and made good on it.
The PPP boss vowed to collectively work to similarly end the regime of "selected puppet" premier — Imran Khan.
In his address, Muqam said Pakistan's youth have pinned their hopes of a better future on PML-N vice-president Maryam Nawaz and Bilawal.
He said Prime Minister Imran Khan is "synonym of lies and hypocrisy" who shifts blame of his incompetence to Opposition leaders. "People are tired of Imran Khan," he said, adding that the incumbent premier had "destroyed Pakistan".
Muqam underlined that the people of Malakand raised Pakistan's flag high after fighting terrorists, adding that it was unfortunate that the "tyrannical" PM Imran Khan did not visit the Machh massacre victims at the time he was supposed to.
"This incompetent [man] has made Pakistan extremely indebted to other countries and international organisations," he said. The PML-N leader added that the lives of the poor people were becoming challenging day by day due to the rising inflation.
Muqam said the "inflation" had plunged the country into "darkness" and criticised the premier for Saturday's power breakdown, saying that he could not generate electricity himself nor run the power system established by Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif.
"At least show the accountability of the foreign-funding case," Muqam demanded. "The one who lies the most in this government is promoted and rewarded."

LUDINGTON — Donald Jacob Beck refused a plea agreement from the prosecutor's office today in 51st Circuit Court. The 24-year-old resident of 409 N. William St. was arrested by Ludington Police Department in late April for assault/strangulation and criminal sexual conduct fourth degree against two Ludington women on April 26.
Beck faces four counts including assault by strangulation, criminal sexual conduct fourth degree, assault and battery and habitual offender fourth offense. He also faces multiple charges for probation violations that stem back to past controlled substance violations.
Donald Jacob Beck, 24, of 409 N. William St., faces felony charges following his arrest by Ludington Police Department for the offenses that took place in the 500 block of East Melendy Street.
Ludington Police Chief Mark Barnett said the charges stemmed from alleged forcible, non-penetrating touching and strangulation of two women ages 17 and 21. Because Beck refused the prosecutor's plea agreement, he will now face a trial, scheduled to begin Aug. 21.
Beck is being lodged in Mason County Jail with bail set a $35,000 cash/surety.
