The Death of Windows XP
Microsoft has now ended its support for Windows XP, which means that a security sinkhole will likely open and gradually widen, threatening hundreds of millions of PCs worldwide in homes, companies, government agencies and schools. Along with the Y2K bug, Windows XP's support termination is one of the computer industry's most publicised -- and most ignored -- deadlines, towards which many business and IT managers have taken a curiously casual attitude. The implications could be dire for those organizations that continue to use Windows XP, a decrepit operating system Microsoft.

The lovely and talented VinNay has volunteered to take on coordination of the last longer. (Should that be in capitals? I feel like it I put it in capitals it makes it like a porn film. I'm going without capitals.) VinNay has changed things up a bit this year, moving to teams of 2 with a $20 buyin. You want in on this? You have to get your buddy and then you either:
We're a month out from the WPBT Winter Classic weekend! Looking forward to getting together with old friends. Looks to be a smaller crowd this year, unless of course you're planning on going but you haven't adjusted your RSVP to indicate such, in which case do get on that. And if you're on the fence; get off it and just come. It's Vegas. You'll love it. There's some cool stuff in the works; including appearances by a couple of old-school bloggers – one of which being Carter aka @cubanlinks. Some of the other things to bring to your attention:
If there's interest in running a last-longer this year; just let me know if you'd like to coordinate! And all suggestions welcome on where to meet up Thursday night, seeing as how the Geisha Bar is no more.
I'm still requesting rooms at Aria for those who are interested. Get the full details here and get a request in ASAP if you're wanting one.
Oh yes, it's that time again. If you missed the tweets earlier this month, the date is set for December 1, at Aria. We'll have the regular tournament schedule they use (minus the rebuys) and stay tuned for details on last longer team coordination.
We'll also have some games going for us on Friday the 30th, though this time I'm moving it to earlier in the day – say mid-afternoon; as the past couple of years it's been near impossible to round up enough folks to start a table around 8 or 9pm. (Hitting the bar with the just off the plane folks is way more enticing). If you're one of the ones to arrive Friday evening, never fret – it's not hard to get a blogger game going somewhere (and besides, you want a drink anyway).
The wonderful folks at Aria are once again extending the poker room rate to us. That rate is $99 + tax + resort fee Sunday through Thursday; then $139 + tax + resort fee Friday & Saturday. If you'd like to book, send me the info but PLEASE help me out and submit it in the following format. I started a new job in San Francisco last month, which is awesome, but the commute has pretty much killed off most of my "down" time – so please, do me a favor and make it stupid simple for me.

This weekend does again coincide with the Rock N Roll Las Vegas Marathon, which supports a great cause, and which many of your fellow bloggers are planning to run this year (or at least they said they were!). I'm sure we'll have a cheering squad like last year – more details to come.
Please RSVP on Facebook so I have at least a rough count of how many we'll be this year.
And more details to come in general – but now you can make your flights and book your rooms – IT'S ON.
When thinking about my wedding, there wasn't a whole lot that was keeping me up at night out of fear things that were going to go terribly wrong. The main thing I worried about, aside from everyone having a terrible time and hating everything, was that I would be sick on the wedding day. I thought about how terrible that must be, and sure it has to happen to people, because it's life and life is messy, but OH MAN how much would that suck? So could NOT get sick on the wedding day. For which I probably shouldn't have picked a wedding in Vegas, but that's neither here nor there, because ever since I quit smoking? Never been sick from Vegas. I get that crappy "I've been on a plane" dehydrated feeling, but never sick.
At least until the wedding.
We got in to Vegas on Wednesday; giving ourselves a day to do silly things like get a marriage license and have a nice dinner together before the family and friends arrived. Got in to airport, got car, got license, got checked in at Aria, got bumped up to a nicer suite but naturally I was unhappy with it because it smelled like smoke (you think I will store my wedding dress in this??) and also lacked the second bathroom that was what appealed to me about the suite type I *had* booked. Jason called down and explained it to them; that while we really loved that they tried to do something nice and bump us up a suite level; we kinda wanted what we had asked for in the first place. That, unfortunately, was not available, and so to compensate the lovely folks at Aria put us in the Executive Hospitality Suite, which OMG. Square footage-wise, it was bigger than our house; though a large bit of that was taken up by the giant boardroom in the suite. We should have video conferenced everyone in and called it day. It was awesome having that space, especially when it was wedding day morning and 10 women needed to be in one room, getting made up and hair styled. But I digress… Got ready for dinner and started to feel tired and icky. Normal for post-flight, so ignored it. Went to dinner and had a lovely time despite my grilling the waiters on where all the seafood is from and frowning when told it was from Gulf Coast. (I like my shrimp with two eyes, thank you!). Noticed on the way back to Aria that I was a bit winded. Now at this point I hadn't been able to run for a couple of weeks (doctor's orders) but even with that someone who has been running for 45 minutes at a time should not get winded walking from MGM to Aria. Something wasn't right.
Decided a good night's sleep was in order, got it and woke up Thursday still. feeling. crappy. At that point I then debated myself on if I would go to a doctor or not. I figured 90% chance I just had a cold and would be told such and sent on my way. But, my lovely Maid of Honor had herself been feeling ill earlier in the week and thought it might have been the flu, and if it was and I now had it I needed to get to the doctor ASAP! But it was probably really me just being a wuss. After debating for several minutes I decided screw it, there was really no better time in life than now to be *that girl*. Fortunately there are three (3!) urgent care clinics on the Las Vegas Strip (2 Walgreens, 1 CVS – file that away for later) so it wasn't a tough trip at all. Short wait even! I expected to meet with the doctor, have her tell me I had a cold and to suck it up, and which point I would demand for some antibiotics anyway because sure it was a cold NOW but what if it got worse and hit right when I was on my honeymoon? It's Las Vegas, it can't be hard to get someone to write you an unnecessary prescription, right?
Lo and behold, when the doctor did her exam she informed me that in fact I had a sinus infection and would be leaving with all sorts of prescriptions, no begging required. Awesome! (Not really) On the plus side, I told myself I was catching it early and that since I was getting the drugs started now, I wouldn't feel any worse than I did right then – just a low grade crappy. Crisis averted!
And it totally was, until Thursday evening when while I should have been enjoying party time with my bridesmaids and family, I was sitting in a corner feeling like absolute crap. No fun, party of one! So much for my plans to teach the girls all about the joys of yelling "Pai Gow" in a crowded casino. I went off to bed at a totally crazy hour – something like 10pm. Had I actually slept, it would have been awesome.
Friday I woke up having not really slept the night before and feeling feverish and exhausted. I told my lovely groom that perhaps it would be best if I skipped the wedding rehearsal. I know a lot of brides wouldn't even DREAM of such a thing, but ladies, let me tell you – it sure is a great way to see how your guy does under pressure! And honestly, when you feel bad enough, you don't even care. The bride really only has one part in the ceremony, and as long as my Dad knew what he was doing, we'd be good. I was totally confident that Jason and Dacia had it under control. [Also ladies? Make sure you have an awesome Maid of Honor. If you're not lucky like me and have a best friend who is also awesome at organizing and coordinating and getting shit done, then you have a tough choice ahead. Choose wisely!]
I felt absolutely terrible for not being there. I should have been there, it was my wedding for God's sake. It was so upsetting. When I finally woke up and felt like moving to the couch in our RIDICULOUS suite Aria so nicely upgraded us to; it kinda hit me that I was missing out on the awesome wedding weekend I had planned. Aside from the significance of Las Vegas in mine and Jason's relationship, aside from the fact that we both love it; a big reason for getting married there was because it would be FUN and we could hang out with our friends and enjoy time with our favorite people in our favorite place. And I was sleeping through all that.
I was able to rally for a cocktail welcoming happy hour for our friends and family, which was important to me as it really became the only chance I had to see folks aside from the big day. There's a photo from that night, just me and Jason, and it's my favorite from the entire weekend – because in that one shot is all the emotion and love that comes from letting yourself be vulnerable enough to want and need someone else. It's tough to be that way, and often it's only when we're sick or hurting in some way that we show it (and by "we" I pretty much mean me and about 3 of you reading this) – but that's what a marriage is about. Admitting that while you are awesome and wonderful you would in fact be better having someone awesome by your side. My hope for you, future bride or random person reading this, is that you don't have to get sick on your wedding to figure that out.*
The wedding day itself was wonderful. It went by too quickly, and I didn't get to see enough people or talk to everyone. But I got to marry the love of my life and be surrounded by friends while doing it; so I can't really complain. I would have loved to have not been sick that weekend, of course, but other than that I think I wouldn't change a thing. Well… there was one thing.
*But if you're not sure, book it to the Imperial Palace with a pack of cigarettes and sit at the Geisha Bar for a few hours – smoke the whole pack, drink cheap wine, and touch everything. Breathe deeply. Rub your eyes.
Last Saturday Jason and I took a day trip to Las Vegas (something that is probably too easy to do) for wedding planning – cake tastings and flower picking. Before that though, we made a stop to say goodbye to these guys:
If you've not heard, the MGM Grand is closing down the lion exhibit. I always loved sitting in the poker room and being able to look up and catch a glimpse of a lion. I'll miss that. Of course, now the poker room is dismantled too and instead shoved in a corner of the casino floor diagonally across from the old room. It reminds me of the poker "room" in a Reno Harrah's. Depressing.
That being said, I look forward to what the MGM Grand Renovation results in. The new rooms look nice (very Aria-like) and I'm sure everything will be back in order soon.
Sure will miss these guys though.
Man, someone is behind on a trip report.
But at least I can get it out before 2011 ends, right? That's progress. Kinda.
Trip reports are weird. If you were there, you don't need me to tell you what happened. If you weren't there, you probably don't want to hear about every little detail. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN TOO BAD YOU WEREN'T THERE. Right? Right.
So. I'll say this: HUGE thanks for CaityCaity, Jordan, and JoeSpeaker for organizing the assorted side-events. Big thanks to the crew at Pokerist.com for their contribution. Gigantic thanks to the folks at Aria, who continue to be awesome and a delight to work with. Seriously, at this point I don't really even do much – it's all on autopilot really. The props are entirely to them.
I did not win the tournament. I didn't even really play many hands. Stupid cards.
They made up for it though on Sunday. Got in a quick session before leaving for the race watching. Naturally I end up sitting next to the one guy who is also from Silicon Valley working for completely overhyped startup that will not be named. Hope that stock pays out cause the poker game won't.
Favorite part of the game was the hand where I flopped a set and turned a boat on a board littered with straight and flush draws. Check-raised on the river which sent my opponent into the tank. I was a little worried he was going to drown in there actually. I'm sure that whole "staring and thinking and making comments" bit works sometimes, but come on. I check raised you on the river. I either have it or I am full of shit. Pick one. The "I wanted you to call" comment will get you nothing. I wanted you to bet so I could check-raise.
Couple of hands later was bummed to get a small pocket pair, flop a set and then find two all-ins in front of me. Reluctantly let it go… surely someone either had the flush already or had a bigger set. Of course no. And again, would have turned a boat and stacked them both. Excellent way to insure the entire table hated me, especially with me leaving to watch the race right after.
The race watching was fun. Hate hearing about the general clusterfuck that was the race itself though. Loved being there to cheer on our crew, and having the likes of Pauly and Grange there to come up with new cheers was highly entertaining. No doubt a lot of runners were pissed to find out that in fact there was NOT a 2-for-1 hooker special at the finish.
Was a more low-key trip this year. We're all older (it's TRUE) and now I know what people do in Vegas at 10am. [Gamble in pajamas, apparently] Really liked the vibe on this trip – more relaxed, more of an emphasis on hanging out and letting whatever happen.
Let's see if we can't continue that for next year. And you better join us.
It's time! If you're not already on your way to the airport, perhaps you're counting down the hours… either way, we'll be seeing you soon. Here's the schedule again along with some exciting news!
Sherwood Forest Bar at Excal – If there's one thing I've learned in my years of organizing, it's pointless to try and put a start time on the drinking. I suggest keeping an eye on the #wpbt hashtag, you'll see when folks start gathering. I'd estimate anywhere from 5-8 as a start – really depends on when folks land. Please note that the Sherwood Forest Cafe, which was right around the corner from the bar, has been closed and is scheduled to reopen today as the Lynyrd Skynyrd Cafe & Bar. I'm told by the folks at Excal that this *does not* have an impact on the Sherwood Forest Bar and that it has not changes names, but you never know.
Beer drinkers unite at The Pub in Monte Carlo, starting at 4pm.
We have two tables at Aria starting at 6pm.
The big day. Tourney at noon, $125 buyin, follows the Aria daily tournament structure.
If you don't have your last longer team in place, find Caity this weekend… because your good friend Jordan from HighOnPoker got a sponsorship with Pokerist.com and they'll be adding $1,000 to the last longer prize pool. And there's more…
Football. Games start at 10am, and per Falstaff's suggestion, let's go with The Pub at MonteCarlo. It's close, easily accessible from Aria, and no doubt has beers you didn't get to try Friday.
This again is one you'll want to keep an eye on Twitter for; but keep in mind that Pokerist.com is also sponsoring $1,000 towards the bar tab for game-watching – so you'll want to be where Jordan is!
See you soon gang! Remember, Twitter is the best way to keep up with where folks are, and find someone for breakfast, lunch, dinner at 3am. Don't be shy, just jump on in.
And now, a word about our awesome sponsor!
What IS Pokerist.com?
Pokerist.com is a web project developed as a part of the information support network for the Texas Poker application by Kamagames Ltd.
Texas Poker is an application for mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Android devices) and social networks. It is currently one of the most successful poker applications in the Apple App Store and Android Market. Millions of players all over the world play poker in this app daily. Yet it is not an online poker room – the game is just for fun and for the sake of sport, no real world money involved. The application is actively developed yet remaining quite simple to learn and play.
In the late spring 2011 the Pokerist.com website was launched with initial purpose to serve as online business card. But today with more than 15,000 unique online users daily it has totally overgrown the initial aim and now must focus on searching for more and more new ways to improve content to keep players happy. Just now developers are working on transforming the website into entire social platform for poker players all around the world.
I was reading yesterday about a woman lamenting how her generous friend would pay for them to both go to dinner, spa days, etc. and how it made the friend feel bad because she couldn't afford these things but her friend could, and as a result, was always paying. She wanted it to stop. And having been on both sides of that coin, I understood her feeling but also knew that the generous friend was paying because she could, because she wanted the company, and at no point was she ever doing it out of pity or charity. And the thing that came across in the comments was "Think if the roles were reversed. If you could help, you would, because that's what friends do."
And it got me thinking. This little community we have here, of assorted misfits and degenerates, we've come together in good time and bad. It used to be so much easier. Bored on a Friday night? Log in to Poker Stars and fire up IRC – there's your friends. Find yourself in a tough time or just passionate about a cause? Organize a charity poker tournament and have your wildest expectations exceeded. Now? Now it's harder. [There. Criminalizing online poker keeps us from raising needed funds to cure cancer. There's your PR angle. You're welcome.]
Many of you know that one of the "OG" Poker Bloggers, The Fat Guy, was recently diagnosed with cancer and has been blogging his treatment journey. He's got a lot under his belt so far but still has a long road ahead of him. I mention this here because one, if you can, I know a donation would be appreciated. And I really wanted to find a way to make the WPBT WInter Classic an event for TFG, similar to the tourneys we used to run online. Unfortunately, as we know, the rules regarding brick & mortar events are far more complex than those (rules?) surrounding online play. So we have to get creative.
I for one, will be dedicating my play in the tourney to TFG. On the off chance that I win the tourney, I pledge half my winnings to him. So, you should all fold when in a hand against me. Just make a note.
Seriously though, I count myself incredibly lucky to be able to make this trip and see you all. In the spirit of the holidays, thankfulness, or whatever reason you can muster, I'd encourage us all to play a hand for our favorite cause, roll the dice for a friend, let it ride in the name of doing good. Just cause you can.
Final WPBT details coming later today… wrapping up a few last details.
We've reached the point where you start counting down the number of "sleeps" before touching ground in Las Vegas. Many of you I'll be seeing this Thursday. I can't wait.
My co-twit Chilly summed up our weekend plans thustly:
Couple of changes to that – one, Steel Panther sadly canceled their show Saturday night, so it's off the table. For Sunday, I'm still on the hunt for a place that could accomodate a large group of people but not make us all share one tab (trouble) or having a thousands-dollars minimum (more trouble). Will update more, but for now I'm leaning towards either a) having a volunteer camp out somewhere to secure seats or b) everyone meeting at the Hilton's new sportsbook because it's plenty big, drinks are cheap, so is the food, and how can you not love the liberal use of adjectives here? I know Hilton is at the wrong end of the strip, but it has a monorail station. I'm leaning towards Hilton, unless someone wants to volunteer to stake out a spot at another location.
Questions? Concerns? Let me know! If you haven't put together your last longer-team, then GET ON IT and update here.
See you soon!

Status: Open year round. Season Dates
Editors of the 1999 Outside Family Vacation Guide, a summer planner, have named Virginia's very own Douthat State Park one of the nation's 10 best. It's on the National Register of Historic Places and straddles Bath and Alleghany counties. Douthat was one of the original six Virginia State Parks to open on June 15, 1936. Douthat is nestled in the Alleghany Mountains and features some of Virginia's most outstanding scenery. In addition, a 50-acre lake offers swimming, boating and seasonal trout fishing (stocked by DGIF). Only non-gasoline powered boats are permitted on Douthat Lake.
Services & Amenities:
Alerts and Important Information
There is a per night per pet fee for cats and dogs in all cabins and lodges (pets are not allowed in the Kiptopeke yurt). Customers making reservations via the web are responsible for visiting the park office to pay all applicable pet fees. Customers may also call the reservation center at 800-933-7275 to pay the pet fees in advance.
Notice for Campers:
LEAVE YOUR FIREWOOD AT HOME!!One of the most important things we can do to protect Virginia's trees and forest diversity is stop moving firewood. New infestations of tree-killing insects and diseases are often first found in campgrounds and parks. Why? Because people have accidently spread invasive species when they brought firewood along with them. In Virginia, there are numerous counties under quarantines, issued by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, due to an invasive insect pest or disease. These quarantines restrict the movement of firewood or wood by products from certain tree species. Moving firewood in violation of a quarantine is a class 1 misdemeanor and upon conviction, you could be subject to; confinement in jail for up to twelve months and a fine of $2,500.00 or both. For more information on areas under quarantine, go to http://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/news/releases-a/062212eabexpand.shtml
Getting There:From I-64, take Exit 27 in Clifton Forge. Turn North onto State Route 629 (highway at exit ramp). Travel north three miles to the park entrance sign and another two miles to the park office. Douthat State Park, 14239 Douthat State Park Road, Millboro, VA 24460; Phone: (540) 862-8100

Statins Reduce Blood PressurePosted: Tuesday, April 29, 2008
The medications known as statins, typically prescribed to lower blood cholesterol levels, may also modestly reduce blood pressure, according to a new report in JAMA.
Several previous studies have suggested that statins may have an effect on blood pressure, particularly in patients with hypertension (high blood pressure), according to background information in the article. Statins may activate compounds that widen blood vessels and improve their function.
Beatrice A. Golomb, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues at the University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, conducted a randomized, double-blind trial comparing statins to placebo in 973 individuals who did not have diabetes or cardiovascular disease. For six months between 2000 and 2004, 322 participants were assigned to take 20 milligrams of simvastatin, 323 to take 40 milligrams of pravastatin (doses frequently prescribed for cholesterol-lowering purposes) and 328 to take placebo. Participants' blood pressure was measured at the beginning of the study, at one and six months during treatment, and again two months after ending treatment (eight months after the beginning of the study).
Among individuals assigned to take statins, systolic [top number] blood pressure decreased by an average of 2.2 milligrams of mercury and diastolic [bottom number] blood pressure decreased by an average of 2.4 milligrams of mercury. "Blood pressure reductions ranged from 2.4 to 2.8 milligrams of mercury for both systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure with both simvastatin and pravastatin, in those subjects with full follow-up and without potential for influence by blood pressure medications (i.e., neither receiving nor meriting blood pressure medications)," the authors write.
The effect of statins on blood pressure was not evident at one month of treatment, was significant at six months of treatment and dissipated two months after treatment ended.
"This study adds to our understanding of the effects of statins, currently the best-selling prescription drugs in the world," the authors write. "The reduction in blood pressure seen with statins may contribute—among other identified factors—to some of the 'rapid' cardiovascular benefits of statins, arising too swiftly to be explained by effects of statins on plaque accumulation."

Harold and Bibby Alfond during the dedication of the Harold and Bibby Alfond Residence Complex in 1999. Photo by Bridget Besaw Gorman.
And he made sure that Maine benefited from his good fortune.
Alfond died Nov. 16, 2007, in Maine, at 93. A major benefactor at Colby and at a host of other institutions in and out of Maine, he will long be remembered as one of Maine's preeminent philanthropists.
In early June, Colby will be the site for a celebration of his life. Fittingly, the tribute will take place in the Harold Alfond Athletic Center.
Donna Dionne, a custodian in the athletic center, remembers Alfond fondly. "What a nice man," she said, recalling how sad she was to learn he had died. "He always wanted to see us when he was here, to say thank you for keeping the building so clean." He also insisted that the custodial staff be included in ceremonial events, such as the dinner when the athletic center was dedicated to him in the mid-1990s.
The Alfond name will forever be linked with Mayflower Hill because of his long affiliation with the College, his enduring loyalty to athletic teams, and because, thanks to substantial gifts, his name adorns facilities including the athletic center, the Harold and Bibby Alfond Residence Complex (senior apartments), the Alfond Rink, the Alfond Track, the Alfond-Wales Tennis Courts, and numerous other spaces and initiatives. He and his wife, Dorothy "Bibby" Alfond, also quietly paid tuition for many children of employees and friends.
Bibby Alfond, who passed away in 2005, was a member of Colby's Class of 1938. The Alfonds' son Bill Alfond '72 is a trustee of the College, and his granddaughter Jennifer Alfond Seeman graduated in 1992. Harold Alfond received an honorary doctor of humane letters degree from Colby in 1980, one of five honorary degrees he received during his life.
Bill Alfond said his father's affection for Colby "goes back to his friendships with Galen Eustis ['23], Bill Millett ['25], and, in particular, President Bixler." In those friends Alfond saw Colby administrators who were kindred spirits—pragmatic Mainers with a firm grasp of what had to be done and who were helping to run the College. Harold Alfond also couldn't help being infected with the passionate loyalty to Colby embodied in Bibby's brothers, Ludy '21 and Pacy Levine '27. "Dad often talked about all the smart and passionate people at Colby," Bill Alfond said.

May 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part II)
As usual, here it is the second part of the Cyber Attacks Timeline for the month of May 2012: a month particularly rich of Cyber Events. As you will probably know, the Flame malware has monopolized the attention, deserving the most attention from the Information Security Professional.
Nevertheless the scene has offered many interesting events, among which it worths to mention the breach of 123,000 federal employees records, the breach affecting University of Nebraska, and, last but not least, the breach against WHCMS (which, as we will soon see, has proved to be fatal for its author).
The hacktivist front is still hot and preannounces another hot summer. On the other hand the authors of several remarkable cyber-criminal actions are probably going to leave the scene: the long trail of arrests made by Law Enforcement Agencies against hackers has continued in this month and has hence led to the arrest of Cosmo, the leader of the infamous group UGNazi, which claimed to be the author of the Cyber Attack against WHCMS.
In your opinion are the arrests against hackers really going to stop the growing number of Cyber Attacks (acting as a deterrent)?
If you want to have an idea of how fragile our data are inside the cyberspace, have a look at the timelines of the main Cyber Attacks in 2011 and 2012 (regularly updated), and follow @paulsparrows on Twitter for the latest updates.
After the jump you find all the references, and at this link the first part covering 1-15 May.

"The Infinite 200 plate reader is a robust machine. The possibility to measure 16 samples at once speeds up daily work a lot. Problems with the wave length accuracy we had in the beginning were solved quickly, communication with the customer service was fast and good. The control software is straight forward and self explaining, operations can be selected via drag and drop to build up individual programs."
The Infinite® 200 PRO NanoQuant was the first microplate reader to be developed specifically for absorbance applications with small sample size. This sensitive plate reader meets highest spectrometer capabilities covering the UV to NIR spectral range and is available with Tecan's Quad4 monochromators™ or with UV-stable filters, and can detect DNA concentrations as low as 1 ng/μl. This affordable plate reader represents a simplified version of the standard Infinite® 200 PRO multimode reader and is compatible with Tecan's patent pending NanoQuant Plate™.
Tecan's NanoQuant Plate™
A powerful tool for nucleic acid applications for measuring DNA- or RNA- quantification, for quality control and labeling efficiency.
The latest i-control™ software includes new application-oriented features which enables more user comfort with the established methods by a minimum of user interventions, e.g. DNA or RNA quantification.
Depending on the application needs, DNA or RNA samples can be measured either with the NanoQuant Plate with low sample volume of 2 µl to conserve most of your precious samples, or e.g. half-area well plates can be used with a volume of 20 µl without wasting any volume of the measured sample.
Key applications
• DNA/RNA quantification during sample preparation for PCR-based assays, such as in research, genetics, forensics and blood banking laboratories
• Measuring the labeling efficiency of dye-labeled samples, such as for FISH- and microarray-based experiments

Fantasy NBA preview: Top-25 draft rankings for 2010-11
by Jason on Jul.09, 2010, under Rankings
For us fantasy junkies, one of the first thoughts that scurried through our heads post-Decision was: how does this affect the fantasy values of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh?
Dr. A at Rotoworld.com, Brian McKitish at ESPN.com and John Cregan at ESPN.com have already posted their thoughts (which are highly recommended), and I'm here to follow suit with a preliminary ranking of the top-25 fantasy players for the 2010-11 NBA season. A longer list of rankings will be here soon enough, but I'm hoping this will whet your appetites.
In honor of Dan Gilbert's captivating response to the King's departure, the rankings will be typed in the glory that is Comic Sans.
Just kidding. That punishment is a step below seeing your hometown hero rip your heart out and chew on it for an hour on national television.
- Kevin Durant: The kid was arguably the top fantasy stud last season, and with his sole competitor set to take a voluntary step back in production this season, there's even more reason to take Durant at No. 1. It's also entirely likely that the kid still has some upside to grow into.
- Chris Paul: He's fragile, but when healthy, CP3 is a fantasy monster. Paul appears ready to start the season healthier than he was last year, so if you're OK with swallowing the injury risk, draft him and don't look back.
- LeBron James: Yes, he's going to take a hit in fantasy value (not to mention popularity) by playing alongside Wade and Bosh in South Beach, but I agree with Tim Legler, who has said that if LBJ ever decided to score six to seven fewer points per game, he could feasibly average a triple-double. Is 22/9/10 out of the question for LeBron this season? Not at all. While nearly everyone is assuming James will be content to play Pippen to Wade's Jordan, there's still a chance that No. 6 could continue to be the top dog on his squad. (I'm probably not the first one to notice this, but once LeBron announced he was going to switch to No. 6 this season — the number of his jersey during the Beijing Olympics, where he, Wade and Bosh supposedly plotted to join forces — isn't it safe to say he was dropping a huge hint at his plans this summer? I digress.)
- Dirk Nowitzki: Diggler is another year closer to the worse side of his career arch, but it's hard to believe it'll happen just yet. Don't expect more from him than last season, but don't expect less either. He's as steady and reliable as they come.
- Kobe Bryant: He showed signs of wear-and-tear last season and missed the most games since 2004-05, but he's still a lock for 26/5/5 every night. Also, don't underestimate the burning desire that could be brewing in him to obliterate the superfriends trio down in Miami. That could help fuel him throughout this season.
- Danny Granger: He's a portrait of frailty and his increasing fondness for the places on the court outside of the three-point line is somewhat of a bummer, but Granger puts up fantastic numbers when he's healthy. The Pacers forward is a great candidate to trade early in the season after he puts up a few stellar lines.
- Pau Gasol: The only thing he doesn't do is hit threes. Expect him to carry a slightly larger share of the load this season.
- Deron Williams: His spotty health record is concerning, as is the absence of Carlos Boozer. Nevertheless, with more of the offense resting on his shoulders, D-Will should be in for a very solid season.
- Gerald Wallace: If you trust that he's finally over the injury-riddled days that earned him the nickname "Crash," you take him here. If not, let him slip to the second round — just don't count on him being there.
- Stephen Curry: His rookie year numbers were bananas and he should be able to reproduce those stats, if not improve on them, this season. Decreasing his turnovers alone could give him a nice little boost from 2009-10. But if Nellie goes mad with Curry's minutes, all bets are off.
- David Lee: The Warriors are a wilder, more frenetic cousin of the Knicks, which bodes well for Lee's stats. Expect him to replicate his numbers from last season, with a chance that he'll even improve on them. Again, Nellie is in control of Lee's destiny, so draft him based on how you think that will turn out.
- Dwyane Wade: Yes, he's playing alongside a lot more talent this year, which should put a wet blanket on his stud status on some nights. But he's still D-Wade. The real concern here is his minutes. He averaged 36:17 per game last season, the fewest since his rookie year. With the Heat's thin roster, Wade could have to push that number up to around 40, and that could mean major fatigue and a higher level of injury risk throughout the season.
- Dwight Howard: I don't really dig Howard for fantasy purposes and try to avoid him at all costs because of his abysmal FT% and turnovers. But he's a beast for rebounds and blocks, and isn't too shabby for FG%. If you can handle his weaknesses in H2H leagues, you can definitely make a case that he goes much higher on this list. If you're in a roto league, the opposite is true. No. 13 seems like a happy compromise.
- Steve Nash: He's older and he just lost his best finisher. His shooting percentages will remain strong, but it's tough to see Nash avoiding a slight dip this year.
- Josh Smith: His steals and blocks always make him sexy, but his career-best FG% and assists last season were the cherry on top. But his dismal FT% makes him a fantasy equivalent of a butterface.
- Brook Lopez: He's the mini-Gasol not named Marc.
- Jason Kidd: He's overcome low expectations and his age over and over again, and until he finally succumbs to the downturn many think he should be experiencing, it's tough to drop him out of the top 20.
- Carmelo Anthony: He scores a lot but his overall stats are disappointing. He's the poster child of an NBA player whose real-life value far exceeds his fantasy value.
- Tyreke Evans: The lack of threes hurts his fantasy stature but Evans is an all-around stud who should improve in his sophomore campaign.
- Chauncey Billups: He's a steady, silent, unheralded killer in fantasy leagues, and defies age like Nash and Kidd do. Still, his fantasy value has very little room for improvement and a looming possibility of backsliding.
- Amar'e Stoudemire: No Nash and less help on offense spells bad news for STAT. He should still fare just fine on most nights, but expect a lower FG%, more turnovers and some frustrating inconsistency.
- Brandon Roy: He puts up great numbers, but his health is too much of a concern to confidently take him higher than this.
- Al Jefferson: The low cap on his minutes last season killed his value, but things can't get worse, right? With a healthier knee and the prospect of a trade for him or Kevin Love could do wonders for Jefferson, who has top-15 potential.
- Chris Bosh: Bosh is a lock to score fewer points this season. However, he'll likely be the Heat's only skilled big man, so his rebounding should remain pretty solid. Also, there will be nights where he benefits from the attention Wade and James get from defenses.
- Rajon Rondo: He coasted for certain parts of 2009-10, but he's clearly capable of handing out tons of assists and stealing tons of balls. If he takes a more prominent role in the Celtics' offense, hits more threes and cracks 70% from the free-throw line, Rondo could go much higher than this.
On the cusp: Russel Westbrook, Marc Gasol, Andre Iguodala, Joe Johnson, Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson
