Inside views on the jobs market
Live chat: Rebuilding Wall Street
Thomson Reuters, Evercore Partners, and Korn/Ferry, the world's largest executive search firm, have teamed up to deliver a live online forum that discusses where Wall Street is headed. Will it return to its former self or has the landscape changed forever? If you're a financial services professional, join us here on Feb. 3 at 10 am. The panel is waiting for your questions. Leave them in the comments below and we'll answer them on the day.
Our panel includes: Jane Gladstone, senior managing director, Evercore Partners; Alan Guarino, global sector leader, fintech & electronic trading, Korn/Ferry; and Dan Wilchins – editor-in-charge of Reuters' coverage of U.S. banks and insurance companies.
Who's got it worse — bankers, autoworkers, or techies?
It looks like a falling tide sinks all boats.
Out-of-work Wall Street workers have been on the front pages for months. Auto workers at the Big Three have been struggling for years, and with GM and Chrysler on the verge of a possible bankruptcy and/or bailout their situation is also dire.
Now the so-called knowledge workers are feeling the pinch. Sony is cutting 16,000 workers, and Silicon Valley companies that initially resisted the swooning of the economy are looking to cut costs and shed entry-level positions. As Reuters reported on Tuesday, people in their 20s are finding a college degree is no longer their golden ticket to a dream job in high tech.
Preparing for the worst while giving thanks
Turkey and the trimmings may be some workers' only comfort this Thanksgiving. With news earlier this week that more than 225,000 jobs may be axed in New York's already battered financial industry over the next two years, the mood of uncertainty hanging over Wall Street seems unlikely to dissipate anytime soon. Heck, it's almost enough to make you lose your appetite.
But gloomy projections aside, there's no shortage of ways to prepare for the worst. Online professional networks are an increasingly popular tool for job-seekers. As Reuters reporter Tarmo Virki writes, "The economic crisis slamming firms across the globe has sparked a spike in usage of professional networks . . . as people hedge against losing work and laid-off employees seek jobs." Such sites can provide valuable networking opportunities and alert you to new job openings. LinkedIn, the industry's leader, netted 25 percent more new users in September than expected, and has seen its membership leap to more than 31 million from 18 million at the start of the year.
The new Wall Street doesn't include champagne
In the 1987 cult classic movie "Wall Street", Michael Douglas plays a ruthless stockbroker desperate to cash in on a seemingly endless supply of wealth and swanky perks lavished on hot-shot traders.
Ahhh, the 80s…
More than twenty years later, most would agree that corporate greed still exists — but the perks may be dwindling.
The tricky business of bonuses
In these dismal economic times, nothing comes in handy quite like a 5-step program to reclaiming your bonus. Of course, delicacy is key. With job cuts spreading like wild fire and the Treasury's seemingly never-ending bailout, everyday taxpayers aren't going to be rooting for you and your six-figure paycheque.
But as Bloomberg's Michael Lewis cheekily points out, all is not lost. You just need to rethink your strategy:
Can Obama save Wall Street?
It's funny how the stock market manages to tell a story. This week's euphoric pre-election surge is all but a memory now, with stocks back in their all-too-familiar slump. If Wall Street could talk, it would be saying: "You've got your work cut out for you, Obama."
Indeed, the President-elect faces what is likely the most daunting list of challenges ever faced by an incoming administration — and America's precarious job situation is chief among them. A report by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas indicates that planned layoffs surged to their highest level in nearly five years during October, with cuts in the finance industry leading the way. Meanwhile, the private job sector took a hit to the tune of 157,000 lost jobs last month, with signs pointing to further deterioration to come.
Is Wall Street poised for a makeover?
There's no question Wall Street is undergoing a transformation of sorts with the recent rash of job losses and do-or-die consolidations. But once the dust has settled – what then?
It just may be the start of Wall Street's warm and fuzzy rebirth, Forbes reports.
Big isn't always better for brokers
Beaten-down brokers are weighing the benefits of staying at Wall Street mammoths Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch in a time when even the big guys aren't so safe anymore. Turns out, well-established firms are still attractive to many brokers even as some decide to break ties altogether to set up their own shop.
"Merrill advisors are looking at the prospect of working for Ken Lewis and Bank of America and fear they will find themselves in a cost-cutting mentality," says Howard Diamond, CEO of Diamond Consultants, a New Jersey-based financial services recruiter.
Opinion: Demand for displaced bankers will still exist
John A. Challenger is chief executive officer of global outplacement and business coaching consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. The opinions expressed here are his own.
The turmoil that is shaking Wall Street to its core could eventually go down as the worst financial crisis in American history. We are already hearing comparisons of the current situation to the bank failures and stock market crash that ignited the Great Depression in the 1930s.
Wall Street quakes shake New York social scene
NEW YORK, Sept 18 (Reuters) – New Yorkers who frequent Gotham's most lavish parties fear the good times are over. The economic downturn of the past year left many of the city's richest unscathed. But the swift demise of some of Wall Street's most historic firms has erased immense wealth and challenged a sense of security for even the moneyed classes.
"It's the end of an era," said party-goer Melissa Berkelhammer at an event at New York's Plaza Hotel this week. "Everything was going so sky high that everyone had to keep redefining what luxury was."

Though Marin has done a really fine job with what bus resources it has – indeed, its service puts Washington, DC's suburban service to shame – it doesn't do justice to its geographic blessings, or the transit-oriented towns it serves. To get Marin on the move, GGT should reconsider the basic structure of its service.
The ideal transit system is a grid of high-frequency corridors. Though it requires transfers, if the bus or train comes every five minutes it's not that much of a problem. San Francisco, Vancouver, and even Broward County, Florida, have designed highly successful transit grids.
Alas, Marin's valleys preclude development of a high-frequency grid. Instead, our geography is in a trunk and feeder system. Just like the streams that made our valleys all fed into the Bay, our feeder roads all lead to the Highway 101 trunk. Only two town centers, those of Novato and San Rafael, fall along the trunk, and the rest are at least half a mile up the valleys from the freeway. Though not ideal, this system gives us a number of advantages.
Foremost among these is that our trunk is a freeway. From an urban design perspective 101 is atrocious, but from a speed perspective this is wonderful. Unlike surface streets that require constant stopping and going and cars parallel parking and red lights and pedestrians and all the other nonsense that makes buses drive slowly and a city worth living in, a freeway is empty of all but cars, freeing drivers to push their buses far beyond their normal surface speed. As well, bus stops are relatively infrequent, only as often as an on- or off-ramp, so they don't slow down the bus much.
Secondly, our branches aren't twisty little things that look great only on a drafting board. There's not enough room for that. Instead, we have fairly linear arterials along valley floors with towns positioned right along them. Even sprawling Novato has only a couple of real arterial roads. Most anywhere you want to be is within a half-mile of these roads.
Lastly, nearly all our local buses intersect the trunk. There are very few valleys coming off of valleys like Sleepy Hollow and Sun Valley to muddle things. This means that one could run a bus along the branch from one end to the other and always, either at the endpoint or the midpoint, there will be a transfer to a fast north-south line, which where the real distance is in the system.
Sonoma, also part of the GGT system, doesn't have quite the same linear structure as Marin, but the county's principal town centers lie along 101 and so are similarly well-served (in a manner of speaking) by the freeway.
As an added bonus, our towns are compact. Walkable destinations are easy to find, and office parks are clustered. San Francisco isn't too far away, sitting at the base of our trunk, and the East Bay is easily accessible from Central Marin.
While our bus lines generally follow this system, the trunk lacks true high frequency. A common complaint among commuters to Marin from San Francisco is the awful northbound frequencies. All three all-day routes – 70, 80, and 101 – leave at the same time from the City, and each is a different level of express. Within Marin, wait times are inconsistent, fluctuating between 6 minutes and 30 minutes for most of the weekday, though Marin Transit runs Route 71 to make the gap only 15 minutes between Marin City and Novato. In Sonoma, GGT runs a consistent, though infrequent, one hour gap between buses, known as a headway.
The Frequent Trunk
Golden Gate Transit and Marin Transit should set a goal of no more than 30 minute waits for buses going between San Francisco and Santa Rosa, and 15 minute waits for buses going between San Francisco and Novato. That headway, while not great, is the largest we could go and still consider it a frequent bus service. This minimum level of service should go from 6am to 9pm weekdays and 9am to 9pm on weekends, roughly when service levels drop off in the existing service. Earlier and later buses would operate, of course, but only at the current levels of service. The weekday service works out to about 268 revenue hours – 97 hours for the Novato-SF route, 171 hours for the Santa Rosa-SF – which is 83 hours more than GGT currently runs. Weekend service would need 214 hours, about 62 more than currently available.
According to GGT's latest operating reports, our weekday service increase would cost about $3.3 million per year, and the weekend would cost $1 million, increasing annual operating costs by 6%.* It may be possible to roll some commuter bus service into the morning schedule to decrease costs as well, which may go into an express service like what the 101 and 101X do now. Revenue from congestion pricing on the Golden Gate Bridge, as well as general toll hikes to , could easily cover the cost.
The Frequent and Accessible Feeder
This is a bus network, not simply a bus line, and we ought not forget about the feeder lines.
Of the feeders, the most prominent are those centered around San Rafael's Bettini Transit Center. Not only do they have cross-platform connections (to borrow a rail term) to 101 bus service, but they serve the most densely populated areas of Marin – Ross Valley, Central San Rafael, and the Canal – and the East Bay. These should be high priorities, with a minimum combined headway of 20 minutes on each axis. The Canal, which already has 15 minute headways, should maintain them.
Other valleys should seek minimum headways of 30 minutes between their town centers and the freeway with a goal of 15 minute headways. North San Rafael and Hamilton have uniquely transit-unfriendly designs but the bulk of Marin's population could be well-served by semi-frequent service along valley-floor arterials.
Just as important as frequency are the connections between 101 and the local feeders. Bus pads are typically awful things, and some routes – such as Tiburon's Route 19 – don't even connect well with the bus pads that are available. GGT and Marin Transit must push for stairs, better shelters, paved paths, clear signage, and onramp underpasses to facilitate transfers between local feeders and the 101 trunk as well as to surface streets. They should design each interchange as a single transfer area and provide maps for each, similar to the Larkspur Ferry map (PDF). Improvements like this are sometimes provided already, but should be standard. Though luxury isn't necessary, customers should be comfortable when transferring and when waiting. That is the glue that makes the network really hum.
You'll notice I haven't touched on density, signal priority, BRT, SMART, or the speculative Fairfax-San Rafael streetcar. While each of these things could dramatically improve service in Marin and Sonoma, not to mention decrease the cost to run this proposed system, they aren't necessary to make it a successful system. Using the infrastructure we have today it's possible to make a high-class transit system for the North Bay. GGT should focus on network-wide improvements, and the key to a better bus system lies along Highway 101.
*GGT and Marin Transit put different values on that number. GGT's latest financial report shows a cost of $204/hour, while Marin Transit uses $139/hour when calculating costs. The lower number would give this system a total annual cost of $2.9 million rather than $4.3 million.

Insights and ideas for technology leaders.
Written By Tom Wentworth
Web content management is at the most significant inflection point in its 15-year history. It's now all about the context.
By 2013, Gartner contends, 40% of large companies will have context-aware computing projects on the way. Context is driving content and intelligent customer interactions, delivering Web experiences that will engage site visitors and deliver better business results.
For example, in the case of the mobile Web browsing, the context is that visitors are accessing the Web from a mobile device, usually with a specific task in mind. These visitors don't need – in most cases don't want – the same experience presented from a desktop browser or on their iPad. Not only must Websites be mobile-friendly (meaning they render correctly on a wide range of mobile devices), but the experience also must fit the purpose of the device.
Or consider the difference between a visitor looking at the Hewlett-Packard home page and their viewing an HP product page on Amazon.com. The context is different, and likely so is the visitor's intention. A visitor may be on the HP site to research products – or to find a job. Amazon visitors are almost certainly shopping.
Context defines a visitor's Web experience. If a visitor has come to a site through a search, he doesn't want to click through multiple, slow-loading, hard-to-read pages to find a single piece of information. If visitors are on your site to make a purchase, it is imperative they experience the same level of checkout/shopping cart convenience that they would in the brick-and-mortar world. If a prospect has arrived on a landing page via an e-mail marketing campaign, Sales and Marketing definitely wants that page to display correctly on any device the prospect is using.
"Delighting customers doesn't build loyalty," note the authors of a recent Harvard Business Review article. "Reducing their effort — the work they must do to get their problem solved — does." Showing an understanding for the customer and respecting the manner they want to interact breeds loyalty.
Context, the Future of Web Content Management
Content management systems have long played an important role in helping companies align their business strategies to the Web. Today, however, the core capabilities of content management have evolved to help global enterprises deliver better business results. Web content management systems are being used to create sites localized for multiple languages with content tailored to meet the unique cultural needs of each country while also enabling these same organizations to publish thousands of daily updates without relying on IT intervention and manual processes. Enterprises are also managing hundreds and sometimes thousands of sites on a single platform, providing significant operational efficiency improvements.
It's often said that "content is king." The ability to create high-quality content that attracts, engages, retains and converts visitors is still an important objective for every website. Content is indeed still the heart and soul of every site. But if content is king, context is its queen; and together they will rule the kingdom of audience engagement and of the corporate Web site experience.
Why Context Matters
I couldn't agree more. As two longtime CMS developers, we built http://weeverapps.com this year – a service that automatically transforms a CMS site into a web app. The key point: *context* – whether GPS, social or content-based; the idea is to leverage an ideal cross-platform user experience and add mobile value to existing companies, the right way.
Yes, "if content is king, context is its queen," well said. The further point for corporations is that contextual thinking is flexible thinking, and that is a hard one for hierarchical organizations to wrap their heads around. To really capture the user's context, to be "responsive" in the sense of Ethan Marcotte's "responsive web design", for instance, is to be open minded about the user's behavior and intentions. The key is to understand which are the indivisible particles of your own content and which are the bits that can be reconfigured on the fly—King and Queen.
Content needs to be organized and choreographed based on user intent – what they want to do – along with action – what they are actually doing.
As the Wentworth states, some context can be derived based on where the user came from and what they were doing just prior to their arrival on the target site. The example of "brown dress shoes" is an excellent one. This requires a linkage between the way information is organized on the site and two types of search optimization – the first being search from an external search engine like Google and the second from the search mechanism once the user is on the site.
One challenge around deriving context from search is that search terms are short, ambiguous, and an approximation of the searcher's real intent. "Brown dress shoes" is fairly specific but are they for a man or a woman? Or are they for a child? In what price range? What brand is the user interested in? These choices can be made through attribute-based (faceted) search on the site itself.
By understanding the user's intent, we can provide more choices that are appropriate. Is this a gift? Perhaps provide the option for gift wrapping, shipping to another address and a card. The downfall of any content system is giving the user too many choices that are overwhelming. Defaulting to search means we are susceptible to the ambiguity problem. Too few choices and we may miss an opportunity to gain a customer.
Preferences are explicit – if we can capture those we have excellent data and can provide "passive personalization" based on those preferences. (For example, small business news can be provided to a visitor if they identify as a small business owner). The other signals, such as behavior, are poorly understood. If a user spends more time on a particular page, what does that really mean? Can my system be configured to do something with that insight?
Location based context is in its infancy as are the use of social networks to provide insights into user intent (other than more obvious applications such as "liking" certain types of products). Behavior identification and tracking is complex and will yield great insights once patterns can be translated into intent.
The future of content is indeed context.
(We've been planning a series on this very topic http://www.earley.com/webinars/jumpstarts/content-in-context )

The headline to this article might sound inflammatory but it's a question currently being debated on the Ubuntu Desktop mailing list.
Ubuntu's�Jorge Castro makes the case for 'jettisoning' the tool from the the Ubuntu Universe repositories (i.e. removing it from the Ubuntu Software Centre):
"With tools like MyUnity now in universe, and …basic�configuration in the control panel I'd like to propose the removal of�compizconfig-settings manager.�
I don't mean "stop telling people to use it" or "add a warning", I�mean total removal from the archive until the tool is either better�tested or doesn't break people's configuration."
Bad Tool is bad
If you've used the CompizConfig-Settings-Manager then you'll know that it is a jumbled draw full of odds and ends. Although it sits under the guise of a 'tweaking app' it's actually not; it's a settings app.
But CCSM is�assumed�to be 'safe' by many simply because it's where one adjusts the "blingy stuff".��I suspect that few users change schemas ad-hoc in�gconf-editor�or via the�Terminal�without expecting consequence.
It may house the 'Unity' desktop plugin (which if unchecked will 'break' your desktop) but it also plays home to a variety of other options that Ubuntu no longer supports or uses – many of which conflict or break Unity when enabled.
When you factor in the growing array of well-designed Unity tweaking tools, such as MyUnity and Ubuntu Tweak,�that offer the same functionality but lack the potential for screwing up the desktop, the case for keeping CCSM around, flaws and all, is weakened.
Only Discussion
Before anyone grabs a well-used pitchforks let me stress that this idea is currently nothing more than a discussion�for now – but it's one that does provides food for thought: Should the Ubuntu repositories stock itself with tools capable of breaking users desktops so easily?
The�destructive�Computer Janitor application was removed from�Ubuntu 11.10 for this very reason.
But some might argue that there are already packages in the USC that also have the potential to do damager – so where does one draw the line?
Not Just Unity
For all of CCSM's superfluous settings there are also a number that many users rely on to use their desktop, as Alan Bell put forward in a response: -
"How do we turn on and configure compiz enhanced zoom for visually impaired users? (turning it on by default would be cool, super+mousewheel to activate and mouse polling set to 15ms please) we have some text cursor tracking arriving for this soon too.
How do we turn on the negative and color filter and opacity/brightness/saturation plugins for users who like to use them or for application developers to test applications to see how they would be perceived by colorblind users?"
Perhaps Ubuntu should beef-up its accessibility settings pane, or a dedicated�accessibility�settings app created that�houses�these?
A number of 'solutions' have been put forward, including this one by Jo-Erlend Schinstad which addresses the fact that not everyone using Ubuntu uses Unity: -
" …an acceptable compromise would be to remove Unity from ccsm. Since Unity currently seems to be the main attraction to ccsm, this might solve the problem without creating any problems for other Compiz users."
And then there's the question of 'Power Users'. Those who know what they're doing with CCSM and are aware of the risks. Should they be 'penalised' for less-clued up users breaking their desktops by playing with a power tool?
Chris Coulson�chimes in: -
"I don't think power users will really miss something like CCSM. Power users will just use the same tools that they have always used to tweak advanced settings in other applications.
CCSM isn't a power user tool, but a loaded gun packaged in to a graphical UI that gives novice users a false sense of security."
Quality Control
Regardless of whether you use CCSM or not the 'issue' of whether it should be placed out of the reach of novice users centers around one very valid point: making the Ubuntu experience better for the end user.
And what could be better than replacing CCSM with a tool that's safer, easier and, to be shallow, nicer to look at?
Ditching CCSM from the Software Centre wouldn't mean the end of the app as it could be installed from a PPA. Neither would it mean the loss of configurability�in Ubuntu but rather the loss of potential instability on user desktops.
With apps like MyUnity, Ubuntu Tweak and the recent options added to the System Settings pane in Precise, configuring Ubuntu�has never been easier, or safer, to do.�
What's your opinion?

How lucky!?
…to be seeing a legend so close by!? Bob Dylan was just in Hong Kong. I can't believe how close we were to him (or he was to us!?). What was amazing is that he played songs from different times (including my favorite- Forever Young)..and they all "fit" the same concept. I mean, there was a consistent sound to the songs (am I making sense)…kind of like watching a fashion show with the different beautiful pieces but with the same "concept" and "theme"…it was amazing. Sorry if I am not articulating this well, but it was amazing! And…Charlie Sexton was his guitarist..I knew he looked so familiar (with those cheek bones) and amazed at how young he still looks!!!

I just wanted to say that Giggles the Clown done a great job entertaining my daughter on her 5th birthday and her friends on Sunday and the children just loved her. My daughter is still talking about how she helped with the magic tricks with Giggles the Clown and she didn't even realise she could do magic. Highly recommended.

For many students, attending college means living away from home, either on or off campus. This choice necessitates learning to live with others. This may provide you with an opportunity to live with and learn to appreciate people who are very different from your self. Living with roommates provides an exciting opportunity for close friendships but also brings with it many challenges.
Students often come from differing home environments and bring with them varying expectations regarding what their living environment should be like. In addition, individual needs often change over time. Very often these differences and changing expectations lead to conflict. While conflict is a part of life and life would hold no challenge without it, weathering these conflicts with someone you live with can be a very difficult and trying process.
Often clarifying expectations ahead of time can be helpful. Some students find it helpful to do this in a formal manner by creating a roommate contract. If you live on campus and have not already done this or if you feel the contract you have is not meeting your needs, your resident assistant or head resident can help you write a contract. The most important thing is to clarify expectations and decide how to communicate when difficult issues occur in the future. Regardless of whether there is a formal contract, it is important that you clearly express your own needs and attend to the needs of your roommate(s).
Often the temptation is to just let things go rather than to inform a roommate of a difficulty. This often leads to resentment. You may find it helpful to communicate about difficulties as they occur rather than waiting for your resentment to build. For example it may be hard to tell a roomate that you are not comfortable with how he or she uses your food. If you wait until the year is almost over to say something, you will likely get more and more frustrated. If you talk about it when it first bothers you, it will provide for an opportunity to resolve your misunderstandings.
Despite your best efforts, there will be times when you feel frustrated and overwhelmed by what is happening with your roommates. This may be because the difficulties with communication seem unmanageable or the issues may feel overwhelming.
In communicating with your roommates, it is important that you think about what is really bothering you and that you be as clear and direct in communicating it as possible. It is important to do it in a way that minimizes your roomate's need to feel defensive. Find a private time to share your concerns and share with them what behavior is bothering you and how if affects you.
If your roommate is dealing with a difficult personal issue, it is important that you be supportive, but it is also important that you continue to care for yourself. Do not put yourself in the position of feeling responsible for things over which you have no control. In instances where a roommate's concerns feel overwhelming, get help figuring out how to help your roommate and how to take care of yourself in the situation. Talk to your RA if you have one, or call or stop by the Counseling Center for an appointment with a counselor. If appropriate, you may want to contact the Drug and Alcohol Program at ext. 2928.

Point Spread: -4/-110 Virginia
I am RED-HOT in hoops and have not lost a college basketball game in three days as I am on a 9-0 ATS run!
Last Night I was 4-0-1 in basketball and currently I am 15-3-1 ATS in the last 19 selections overall! In this free pick section I hit a big winner with the Wizards last night and I am on a 5-0 run!
Today in basketball I have a college basketball BLOWOUT! I am undefeated this week with BLOWOUTS and have another double digit winner on tap.
I also have my Best Bet For Thursday and have put both of these picks in a value package so you can get them for one low price!
I am the #1 NBA capper on this site and so I have added an outright underdog winner in the NBA and am ready to sweep the board again!
Here is another FREE PICK as I look to continue my red-hot run in the free pick section and improve on my 5-0 run!
All my picks come with a ton of stats, trends, and info like below!
FREE PICK: Virginia -4
Florida State is a very good team but they are in a tough spot against the Cavs on Thursday night.
The Cavs have lost six straight against the Noles and on Senior night will be focused on a big win. The seniors have never beaten the Noles or gone to the Big Dance and they can assure both with a win tonight.
The Seminoles are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs. Atlantic Coast and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Cavaliers are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 and 29-14-1 ATS in their last 44 games overall.
The Seminoles are seeking to avoid losing three straight ACC games for the first time since Jan. 2008. They have allowed opponents to shoot 45.8 percent (22 of 48) on 3-pointers in consecutive defeats, and that will be the reason they lose big tonight to Virginia.
Take Virginia tonight and hop on the hoops hot streak!

|a statement, story, etc, with such additional material
|a. the increase in strength of an electrical signal by means of an amplifier
|b. another word for gain
|genetics Also called: gene amplification the production of multiple copies of a particular gene or DNA sequence. It can occur naturally or artificially, by genetic engineering techniques
amplification am·pli·fi·ca·tion (ām'plə-fĭ-kā'shən)
The process of increasing the magnitude of a variable quantity, especially the magnitude of voltage, power, or current, without altering any other quality.
The result of such a process.
gene amplification n.
A cellular process characterized by the production of copies of a gene or genes to amplify the phenotype that the gene confers on the cell.
|amplification (ām'plə-fĭ-kā'shən) Pronunciation Key
An increase in the magnitude or strength of an electric current, a force, or another physical quantity, such as a radio signal.
|gene amplification
An increase in the number of copies of a gene in a cell, resulting in an elevation in the level of the RNA or protein encoded for by the gene and a corresponding amplification of the phenotype that the gene confers on the cell. Drug resistance in cancer cells is linked to amplification of the gene that prevents absorption of the chemotherapeutic agent by the cell.
A process in a cell by which a particular gene is replicated so that more copies are available to produce a protein for the cell's use. For example, the genes that code for proteins involved in ribosomes are amplified early in the process of cell development so that there are sufficient numbers of them to assemble the cell.
Note: PCR, polymerase chain reaction, can be considered a type of man-made gene amplification process.

XL Video UK supplied MiTrix screens, cameras, PPU, Catalyst digital media servers, and crew for Snow Patrol's recent concert at Ward Park, Bangor in their home territory of Bangor County, Down, Northern Ireland.
The XL team was led by Jon Shrimpton, who manages the IMAG video content. The Ward Park event was staged in front of 30,000 people, and was the band's last UK performance of their acclaimed Eyes Open tour, which kicked off in 2006.
The show's video design, which included six moving Barco MiTrix screens onstage, was created by Snow Patrol's visual and lighting team of Davy Sherwin and Robin Haddow. They collaborated closely with Shrimpton and the XL crew onsite and with XL's project managers Jo Beirne and Phil Mercer.
Beirne & Mercer comment: "It's been great being involved with this show. Looking back at the progression from the start of the tour to where we are now, it's hard to believe that only 10 months ago, Snow Patrol were just beginning to incorporate video into their live shows."
The main MiTrix surfaces were made up of three horizontal strips of 2 x 2 meter panels, formatted seven, six, and five panels wide, each fixed onto three moving trusses just in front of each other. Downstage were three separate 4 x 2 meter rectangles of MiTrix, also on moving trusses. All MiTrix screens were moved by a Kinesys automation system supplied by lighting contractors HSL and operated by Rupert Reynolds.
The StageCo stage was specially modified to allow all these MiTrix screens to completely disappear from view by dropping into the floor at strategic moments.
The side screens were made up of 36 modules of Lighthouse Technologies' R16 LED, and were inverted L-shaped so they could run different aspect ratio and shaped clips. These were also used primarily for IMAG material, along with the three 4 x 2 meter MiTrix screens, while the three rear MiTrix strips almost exclusively contained playback footage and other specially-created content.
XL's cameras were three Sony D50s positioned in the pit on track and dolly, plus one at FOH, complete with a 70 mm lens. These were joined by two Sony "robot cams" for more intimate shots of the band, one located in front of lead singer Gary Lightbody and one above the drums and keyboards. There was also a small Toshiba "lipstick cam" clamped to the drum kit.
For control, XL supplied one of their Grass Valley Kayak mixer/switchers on which Shripmton cut the IMAG, using all four of the Kayak's multiple screen outputs on the show.
All camera feeds were sent to Robin Haddow and fed into one of two Catalyst digital media servers where they were affected and treated before being output to screen. Haddow did this from FOH using a WholeHog 2 lighting console from XL, which also ran all the pre-recorded content off a second Catalyst. XL additionally supplied a PixelMAD computer, which Haddow used to drive a series of LED Zip light battens.
Haddow and Sherwin created special video content for the show working in conjunction with Glasgow-based video artist Scott McDonald.
Shrimpton was also involved with elements of this, primarily a video of the journey between Belfast City Airport and Bangor that accompanies the song "Open Your Eyes." He and Sherwin strapped a DV cam to the bottom of a jeep and drove the distance several times. They then took the footage into XL Video's edit suite at their new Hemel Hempstead HQ and honed down the final version. The "Teenage Kicks" intro video was also re-edited here and given a new look.
Shrimpton described the critically acclaimed Ward Park performance as "Hugely enjoyable" to work on.
He was joined by a very strong XL team including engineer Alastair McDiarmid, Pixel 'basher' Hugh Davies-Webb (hardware and computers), Rob Wick and Roger Nelson (cameras/LED), cameramen Larn Poland and "Rocket" Ron Conley, and LED techs Icarus Wilson-Wright and Alain Demy.
LD Davy Sherwin comment, "As always, the kit, crew, and level of commitment from XL was brilliant."

Phoenix wire report
Although the weather has not completely warmed up, it's still opening day for the Connors State softball team.
The Cowgirls begin their 2013 season at 2 p.m. today in Warner against Independence Community College.
Rick Carbone begins his 18th year as coach of the Cowgirls, sporting a 593-335 overall record, and believes his 2013 club has the potential to return to the National Junior Athletic Association College World Series in St. George, Utah for the first time since the 1996.
"I really believe this club has the potential to be one of my better ball clubs if the pitching holds up," said Carbone. "This could be a tough team to deal with and has the potential to get us to the college world series."
A year ago, the Cowgirls reached the NJCAA Region 2 semifinals losing to Western State and finishing the year at 26-28 overall.
This year's Cowgirls squad returns five players off that team including second baseman Ashley Dunigan, who set school record with 55 stolen bases while hitting .348. Pitcher Jerelyn Long returns and looks to improve on her 2.14 earned run average.
Also returning are Summer Cunningham, who led Connors with a .429 batting average with 19 runs batted in and five home runs, third baseman Trinity Busby and catcher Blaine Matheson.
Carbone brings 14 freshmen into the fold this season and he thinks that gives him a very good defensive ball club that will hit the ball, along with some excellent pitching.
Six of the freshmen are Kali Romine from Muskogee, Erin Isham from Hilldale, Caitlyn Craig from Fort Gibson, Chelsie Drew and Leiloni Smith from Vian and Whittney Whittmore from Tahlequah.
Pitching is key to the Cowgirls and their run toward the national finals and much of that will fall on the shoulders of Craig, Long and freshman Jessica Christian.
"All three of those pitchers took their high school teams to the state tournaments," Carbone said. "But the key to pitching is stay away from the injury bug. We know they can do the job if they just stay healthy."
Offensively, Carbone says his club potentially can be very good, with Cunningham, Dunigan and freshman Amanda O'Neal. He also states that Drew, Romine and Whittmore have strong bats.
"We are going to be a line-drive hitting team with some power," Carbone said. "We also have above average speed."
On the defensive side the ball Carbone points to his outfield as the strength of his squad.
"We will be super strong in the outfield with big steady gloves," he said. "The middle infield should be steady for us and behind the plate, we have two catchers with experience in Cunningham and Matheson."

In developing his film adaptation of "Anna Karenina," the classic Tolstoy novel about a scandalous love triangle in Imperial Russia, director Joe Wright found himself donning his sleuthing cap.
"It's kind of like detective work, trying to figure out the character," Wright says in this excerpt from the Envelope Screening Series with the Los Angeles Times' Rebecca Keegan. "You're pulling pieces together, and that's really exciting."

Written by James Barry
The summer is quickly drawing to an end and with that comes the frenzy that is the Fantasy Football Draft. Below are some of my top picks and my second choices. Before you criticize, check my logic and chime in with your own picks or variations
Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers – Green Bay Packers
Rodgers threw for 4,643 yards, with 45 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions in 2011. The reigning MVP will look to avenge the Packers early exit from the 2011 postseason. If you are looking to make a run at a Fantasy championship, who better to start with than Aaron Rodgers.
*Second Choice: Cam Newton
Running Back: LeSean McCoy – Philadelphia Eagles
LeSean McCoy was responsible for a majority of the Eagles offense last season with 1,624 total yards and 20 total touchdowns. The Eagles did not make any significant upgrades to their receiving core this offseason. Look for McCoy to carry the load once again this year.
*Second Choice: Ray Rice
Wide Receiver: Calvin Johnson – Detroit Lions
Coming off of a monster 2011 season, look for Calvin Johnson to dominate once again. At 6'5, 236lbs, proves to be a matchup nightmare for defensive coordinators. Johnson recorded 96 receptions with 1,681 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2011.
*Second Choice: Victor Cruz
Tight End: Rob Gronkowski – New England Patriots
While most would think of Jimmy Graham when picking a tight end, keep in mind that Sean Payton, the Saints Head Coach and Offensive Play Caller, was suspended for the 2012 season which could affect the Saints offense and Graham's performance. A sure bet would be New England Patriots Tight End Rob Gronkowski. "The Gronk" had a breakout year in 2011 with 90 receptions, 1,327 yards and 17 touchdowns. Besides Wes Welker, Gronkowski has become Tom Brady's favorite target. At 6'6, 265 with reliable hands look for Gronkowski to have another solid season.
*Second Choice: Jimmy Graham
Kicker: David Akers-San Francisco 49ers
After a solid season in 2011, look for the ageless David Akers to have another strong year in 2012. With the 49ers ground and pound offense as well as their strong defense, expect to see low scoring games with plenty of field goal attempts. Akers made 44 out of 52 field goals last season and proves to be a reliable pick.
*Second Choice: Sebastian Janikowski
Defense: San Francisco 49ers
With the exception of Aldon Smith who recently suffered a hip pointer injury, Patrick Willis & co are back for what many are predicting to be a Super Bowl year. The 49ers defensive was ranked #1 in takeaways in 2011 and will look to avenge their NFC Championship game loss to the New York Giants.
*Second Choice: Baltimore Ravens
There you have it. My top picks for this years Fantasy Football draft. Who are your first and second picks? Share them in the comment section.

text: Bad News Religion is a convicting, liberating exploration of how we, in the name of religion, have shifted the focus from the work of God to our ability to become worthy of salvation, a road leading to bondage and defeat. The key to success in the Christian life isn't what we do, but who we know. Stop robbing yourself from experiencing the richness of God's grace and embrace God and the liberating fullness of His grace.

Daily Star
---- — The Greater Stamford Area Trust recently announced that Headwaters Trails has a new logo.
"This project has been in development for many years and has been a labor of love for the GSAT board to see it come to fruition," said GSAT Secretary Patricia Heath in a media release.
Scott Jensen of Jensen Creative in Hobart worked with the board of directors over the course of several months to "brand" a trail system that has been running through and around the mountains for years. "The board has a very ambitious and exciting vision for this trail system," Jensen said in the release. "The logo was designed to express some sense of the adventures this regional attraction will offer."
The Headwaters Trails system runs through four towns and one village in two counties _ and on three mountains _ Mount Utsayantha, Churchill Mountain and Bald Mountain. The trails in the Bald Mountain Recreation Area are about 30 miles long, according to the release. A variety of trail experiences are available to the public, making these an all-season attraction: hiking, mountain biking, geo-caching, horseback riding, birding, photography, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are all allowed.
To receive more information about the trails, e-mail GSAT board member Velga Kundzins-Tan at email@example.com.

I have been there. Too bad "Rescue Renovation" wasn't. The DIY Network TV show that pulls overzealous remodelers out of their pickles was nowhere in sight during any of my umpteen demolition disasters.
Where was host Kayleen McCabe and her crew when I was up to my eyeballs in rubble, broken pipes and torn out sheetrock? Fortunately for two couples, the Romanos and the Leos, their renovations ran amok in the right place at the right time. Their projects will be featured in upcoming episodes, but here's a preview:
Mike and Marissa Romano bought their 130-year-old Victorian home for its charm. The Romanos bought the two-bedroom, two-bath house eight years ago, and have been fixing it up.
"It needed cosmetic changes in every room," said Marissa Romano, who came home recently to find her husband had decided to redo the upstairs bathroom. After Mike had gutted the space, he uncovered floor joists that had sunk several inches in spots and were wobbly. While trying to fix the floor, his foot slipped off a loose joist and...
"I was in the kitchen when I saw Mike's leg crash through the ceiling," Marissa recalled.
The next day - talk about luck - Mike was in a Denver coffee shop nearby and met McCabe. She noticed his firefighter sweatshirt and struck up a conversation. Moments later, McCabe was in the Romanos' torn up bathroom saying, "What an awesome mess!"
She and her crew took it from there. They fixed the joists, and other issues that come with a century-old house. They put in new appliances, tile and fixtures, and a door between the master bedroom and bath - all while staying within the Romanos' $10,000 budget.
Out of the swamp
Meanwhile, a few miles away, Doris and Bryan Leo had gotten into their own mess. Their four-bedroom 1960s ranch house had a space dubbed "the jungle room," a shabbily enclosed a patio that housed a broken hot tub, an oversized plant and a swampy atmosphere.
What they wanted was a bonus room that would transition their indoor space to the outdoors and also be a living space where they could hang out with their two daughters.
They embarked on what they thought would be a modest remodel involving four new walls and a new hot tub, she said. But once they tore the room apart, they found leaks in the five skylights, faulty plumbing and electrical wiring not to code. "When we hit the plumbing and roofing issues we knew we were in over our heads," she said.
A friend told them that "Rescue Renovation" was looking for projects in peril, and they raised their hands. The rescued space has a new, non-swampy hot tub against a wall with a waterfall, one tight skylight instead of five leaky ones, six windows looking onto the backyard, and an inviting sitting area.
How they learned
Because not everyone can have their renovations rescued, here's what the Romanos and Leos say they've learned from the wreckage:
Plan before you plunge. Both couples figured they would gut the space, then decide. Bad idea. Don't knock out anything until you have a plan, even if you need to change it.
Expect trouble. Imagine the worst (mold, faulty pipes, bad wiring, hornet's nests), and plan for it.
Think through all the steps. The Leos knew they wanted a new hot tub, but they didn't think through how to remove the old tub. The switch required them to rent a boom truck to lift both tubs, and to remove an exterior wall, which added costs.
"Rescue Renovation" airs at 8:30 p.m. Tuesdays on the DIY Network (digital cable channel 356 in the Triangle).The Romano episode airs May 31, and the Leo episode airs Aug 2.

Chatham Things to Do
Coming from Europe, where I saw many churches and cathedrals, for me it was interesting to see the variety of churches in America and also the different architecture of most of them. In Europe most churches are made of stone, in Chathem they were made of wood, the same as the houses, made of wooden slates. There are 9 churches in Chatham: Baptist,...more
Ponds, biking and walking
There are many ponds in and around Chatham. There are salt water and fresh water ponds, big and small, where you can fish, boat, sail, water-ski or bathe. There are so many that it's confusing. I liked to ride my bike, take a road and go wherever it took me. I always ended at a beach or a pond, sometimes over a bridges, sometmes I stopped to enjoy...more
Shore Road
The scenic shore Road offers very nice views of the ocean. That's where the Fish Pier, the most expensive houses and hotels in Chatham are. I used to ride my bike along the road on the way to work every morning. Now I remember every curve of the road, downhills and uphills, the nice houses with gardens on the way...more
Historic Main Street
Chatham has the typical small town main street with the oldest buildings, churches, the bank, some stores, ice cream and candy stores, the library (free membership and internet), a pharmacy with a photo lab, gift stores, antiques, restaurants, fast food, etc. Along the Main Str. and Route 28 you can see some of the oldest and nicest buildings in...more
Chatham Railroad Museum
This nice Victorian building in fact used to be the Chatham Railroad Station. It was built in 1887 and served a small connection line to Harwich. The seven mile long line to Harwich was built in seven days. When motor vehicles became more wide spread the passenger traffic of the railways declined so the service was gradually shut down. Now where...more
Fish Pier
The Fish Pier was on my way to work ( a 5mile bike ride) so sometimes I stopped there to enjoy the view and take a few picures. It's quite small, with a few fishing boats and may hungry sea-gulls. I've been told that you can buy fresh fish from there. It is located on Shore Road, supposedly the street with the most expensive houses.more
Seal Watch - not to be missed!
I think this is the best thing to do on the Cape, I even liked it better than whale watching because you go really close to the animals and can see hundreds of them. They are so cute and curious. After you reach the shore where they are resting the young ones swim closer to the boat and stare curiously at you. If you move too much though they...more
There are many beaches in Chatham, after all, it's at the tip of the 'elbow' and is surrounded on three sides by water. As far as I know the Lighthouse beach is the biggest one and it can get very crowded. I was a bit surprised the first few times I went to the beach on the Cape. Most people came with their cars loaded with chairs, coolers with...more

Chatham Nightlife
This is the only decent bar not only in Chatham but maybe in this part of the Cape. A lot of young people gather here, both Americans and foreigners. There's a juke box and table football. They have a variety of drinks, and enough orange juice for the under 21's. On the left side is the bar, and on the left, the restaurant but I've never been there.
The restaurant has a web-site.

Chatham Shopping
Nice shoes
Very nice shoes, including some European brands, such as Campers. That's about the only place in the Cape that you can find such shoes. there are also hand bags. I worked there in the Fall of 2001 so if you go there and meet Laura (the manager) or Tanya, her daughter, please say hello from Christina from Bulgaria :)more
No zoo at the Zoo
The Chatham Zoo is the best gift store and I'm not only saying that because I worked there but also because I've been to all such stores and compared what they offered. This was my second job in the summer of 2001. The store has a huge variety of souvenirs: all sort of stuff with your name on it (fridge magnets, mini mugs, key chains, etc.), Cape...more

This Summer, Nesting Is Cool
With prices up, some consumers settle in for a long summer nap.
Are you settling in for a summer of nesting? There's been a lot of buzz about people opting to stay home instead of traveling to exotic locations because of high gas prices. According to one Kmart television ad, "This summer, there's no place like home," and the company's website is promoting patio furniture and camping equipment. I recently received an E-mail offering an interview with a Comcast executive to discuss the cable company's growing entertainment options, including over 10,000 on-demand programs and thousands of movies a month, designed to cater to consumers who are planning to spend a lot of time on the couch.
Many of us seem to be embracing that idea: In May, Merrill Lynch reports, the share of consumers who said they would buy a new television in the next six months shot up to just over 12 percent. And a survey by Better Homes and Gardens found that 80 percent of respondents liked the idea of a "staycation," or spending more vacation time close to home.
I know that I'm looking forward to exploring several local water holes this summer, as well as making healthy use of my Netflix subscription. What about you? Are the gas prices keeping you home? If so, what activities are you looking forward to?

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is celebrating Alumni Night when the Panthers host Wright State Saturday at 7 p.m.
The annual Alumni Game is set for 4 p.m., and admission to that contest is free. More than 30 former players are expected to be in attendance.
Then, during the evening contest with the Raiders, UWM will recognize its 2002-03 NCAA Tournament squad, the first-ever Panther men's basketball team to make the Division I postseason. The 1992-93 Panthers that won 23 games and beat Wisconsin will also be highlighted.

A number of Panther players will not be back in town for Alumni Night as they are still playing professional basketball. That list includes:
Mitchell Carter - BC Beroe (Bulgaria) - averaging 6.2 points and 3.9 rebounds per contest in 13 games as a reserve
Boo Davis - SK Dnipro Azot Dniprodzerzhynsk (Ukraine) - team-leading 15 points per game; playing 31 minutes per game and he has made 39 threes in 27 contests

December 19, 2012 | WMFE - This Friday is Dec. 21, 2012. That's when part of a more than 5,000-year-long calendar used by the Maya comes to an end. Some people think it's when the world could end. This week on Intersection 90.7's Mark Simpson talked with Robert Sitler, a Stetson University professor and author of the book, "The Living Maya: Ancient Wisdom in the Age of 2012." Humberto Campins, a University of Central Florida professor and asteroid expert, joined the conversation. Sitler started by explaining away some misconceptions about the Mayan calendar.
