By Jennifer Leonard
Growing up in Canada in the '80s – between episodes of Mork & Mindy and Welcome Back, Kotter – I was exposed to an entertaining mix of public service announcements as a result of a government initiative called ParticipACTION. It was about creatively battling exorbitant health care costs through mobilizing citizens to "keep fit and have fun!" and not "just think about it, do it!"
I'd often get great pleasure out of seeing a well-clad (actor) couple in matching track suits and terry headbands who would demonstrate cool moves to get the heart pumping and the muscles limber. Other times, they would appear in a kitchen (still as sporty as ever) instructing viewers on how to whip up low-cal, low-fat recipes for a family of four. The TV campaign was completely cheesy but, upon reflection, I now see seeds of greatness somewhere amid their jumping jacks and Chicken à la King.
"Participaction" is a fabulous concept! For me, today, it invokes active community-wide engagement in an effort to serve the greater good. I'd love to resurrect participactionary thinking in the realm of social design. How can we pull together, across disciplines, from near and far, to collaboratively take positive action? How can we put design memes out into the world that spur community-building around something larger than self?
Although likely not called "participactionary" till now, I can think of at least two shining examples from South America – from two of my design heroes, who have both had stints as mayor. While representative of the people, Jaime Lerner, from Brazil, and Antanas Mockus, from Colombia, did some of their best work…
Mockus, a scholar (of philosophy and mathematics), transformed his city of Bogotá by including the citizens in multiple initiatives. Among many more playful schemes, he risked humiliation by running around in a Supercitizen costume and taking a shower in front of the camera (to shoot a "save the water" TV commercial); he hired mimes to patrol the streets by following law-breakers until they selected to change their irreverent ways; with citizen-selected honest taxi drivers (who he named "Knights of the Zebra"), he brainstormed ways in which they could collectively inspire behavioral change in not-so-honest colleagues. Mockus has wisely said, "The distribution of knowledge is the key contemporary task. Knowledge empowers people. If people know the rules, and are sensitized by art, humor and creativity, they are much more likely to accept change."
Lerner, an architect by trade, likewise transformed his city of Curitiba by inviting the citizens to participate in the shaping of it. Notably, he looked at mass transit as an ecosystem and managed to inspire locals to want to step aboard one of the many bi-articulated buses (rather than driving a car). He told me "a city needs a strategy that works with potentiality, not just needs. And a city needs solidarity, not as rhetoric but as a sincere understanding of the daily life of its citizens. With every problem there needs to be an equation of co-responsibility. When everyone understands what the consequences of certain attitudes are, they will more readily cooperate and help bring about change."
Both Lerner and Mockus valued education and looked upon their respective cities as giant classrooms, or laboratories. They entered into politics not with the view to become top-down leaders, or action heroes; they sought the more righteous role of figuring citizens into the equation and becoming "participACTION" heroes.
Do you have a complementary story to share? Bring. It. On.

Endorsement Programs
- ESL and Bilingual Education Endorsements
- Middle School Endorsement
- CAS in Education
- Middle or High School Technology Specialist
The English as a Second Language (ESL) and Bilingual Education endorsements prepare both pre- and in-service teachers to design and deliver effective instruction for culturally and linguistically diverse students.
The state requires that ESL and/or bilingual education clinical experience equal 100 clock hours or three months teaching experience, under a valid Illinois license, with ESL and/or Bilingual Education students. Completion of this program for individuals with a master's degree will lead to a certificate of advanced studies.
Course Requirements
The state issues a letter of approval for ESL and also bilingual upon successful completion of this program.
Passage of a language proficiency examination in a language other than English is required for a bilingual approval.
The middle grade endorsement is available for candidates completing certification in either elementary or secondary education. To earn this endorsement, candidates are required to have the equivalent of 3 credit-hours of middle grade philosophy, curriculum, instruction and methods and 3 credit-hours of early adolescent psychology, in addition to 18 credit-hours in a subject area.
At Saint Xavier, students may opt to earn the middle school endorsement by completing the following courses:
Course Requirements | ||
EDUG 459 | Methods, Curriculum and Philosophy of Teaching in the Middle School | (3) |
EDUG 508 | Advanced Adolescent Development | (3) |
For the subject area, most endorsements require 18 credit-hours in one subject; but seven endorsements (bilingual education, bilingual special education, English as a second language, gifted education, mathematics, reading, and safety and drivers education) require additional hours or specific course requirements. Information about specific requirements can be obtained from the Office of Teacher Education.
This is a collaborative project between the School of Education and the Department of Computer Science. This program is designed for practicing teachers who are interested in a technology specialist endorsement at the middle or high school level from the State of Illinois. Graduate students who apply for and are accepted to the School of Education program are required to take twenty-four credit hours in applied instructional computer sciences in order to qualify for the endorsement. A minimum of three graduate courses from the Department of Computer Science and one course in instructional technology from the School of Education, listed below, are required coursework. Additionally, students need a minimum of 7.5 credits in applied computer technology. Those courses may be taken at the lower level. Courses have to be focused on the application of instructional technology and approved by the School of Education. The middle school endorsement also requires completion of 6 credit hours of coursework in middle school education that have to be taken at the graduate level unless previously completed. The endorsement at either level requires passing the content area technology specialist certification test #178.
If an admitted student has already earned a master's degree, they may pursue a certificate of advanced studies from the School of Education by taking one additional graduate course in the School of Education.
Required Courses
EDUG 517/ACSG 591 | Introduction to Technology and Computing | (4.5) |
EDUG 518/ACSG 500 | Current and Future Trends of the Internet | (4.5) |
EDUG 519/ACSG 575 | Information Ethics | (4.5) |
EDUG 522 | Curriculum Integration for Educational Technology | (3) |
A student who has prior knowledge and/or background in any of the ACSG courses listed above may replace that course with another ACSG course, such as security, web programming, networking, etc. with the approval from the Department of Computer Science. For more details about other ACSG courses, visit the master's of applied computer science page.

5 Impressive DebutPOSTnPLAY | 16/03/2013 | See all POSTnPLAY's reviews (4)Excellent debut album from Bastille. The lead single Pompeii will be difficult to beat, but the other songs on this album run along at a nice pace and range from brooding anthems to slower more thoughtful pieces. The best way to describe Bastille is Coldplay with an electronic beat and a lot more smiles!Enjoy.
5 Absolutely Fantastic...!xxxshazxxx | 17/10/2013 | See all xxxshazxxx's reviews (4)This has got to be one of the best albums ever, every song is amazing and uplifting, I can't get enough of it. I would highly recommend it to everyone x

I got this album knowing Pompeii and Weight of Living (which I believe featured on FIFA 13). So many good songs. Favourite on the alum has to be Laura Palmer. Can see that beating out at festivals next year. Buy the album you wont be disappointed.

So you just did not even listen to the professors address at all? Hence my point about convincing yourself before, you even hear a word. Are you also dumbfounded the class may have gotten a very clear message from his message? Only you, were the only one arrogant enough, to sit in the crowd acting superior to everyone else?
Surely you jest here Greeny2.
We are talking here about a PHD..a man of letters...educated..wise...sophisticated...even "Enlightened."
And the very best...the peak performance... is to recant the outline of a plot from a currently running movie!!??
As I recall ...he ran by the students a brief synopsis of the plot. Right there is where I tuned out after overcoming my astonishment and dumbfoundedness of this realization and began laughing so hard and trying to stifle my laughing.
We have here an educated, sophisticated, wise man, gnostic, Enlightened Pharisee..for whom the very best he can impart or reference to graduating students is a movie plot!!?? That is it!!!! Peak performance!!??
Someone got cheated here.
Do you seriously think that graduating students are interested in a teachers rendition of a movie plot and one for which they can make up their own minds?? A movie for which many of them had most likely themselves already seen. Or do you think the students are interested in getting their diplomass and hitting the street??
Life imitating art...or vice versa???
Copy cats or original thoughts?? Original ideas...or a stamped out ..xerox version of someone else's thoughts..someone else's emotions...someone elses values????
I do not have to possess a PHD to see that one for myself Greeny2.

5 Easily The Best Album You Will Hear This Year!Catpuke | 13/12/2009 | See all Catpuke's reviews (2)"Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" is the fourth album by French quartet Phoenix who return with their latest concoction of alternative indie rock precisely blended with dance/electro influences, punchy lyrics and irresistible hooks.The result is fantastic. From the off the diversity and structure of each track is what really makes this album a stand out. The majority of the songs are short, snappy, catchy and sweet so rest assured you will have this on replay for a very long time. There are stunning melodies created by the most innovative and inventive arrangements of spacey synths, guitars, organs, keyboards and percussion to keep listeners coming back for more.Whilst managing to incorporate moments that trigger a nostalgic thirst for 70's disco and other elements of dance, pop and indie at the peak of their powers, what Phoenix achieve with this effort is simultaneously managing to deliver a tightly produced product that boldly pronounces itself at the cutting edge of alternative indie rock music.There is never a single dull moment in the 35 minute duration of this album. Such is the nature of the journey that every twist and turn in each song takes you on that at times, lead singer Thomas Mars beautifully crafted hooks and lyrics take a back seat to the pure ingenuity of the instrumentation on offer. Mars' ability to seamlessly blend his voice into the track as an instrument in itself makes every song that much more likeable.The beauty of it is that everything feels necessary. Nothing feels forced, every moment feels brilliantly effortless. Each time you hear a song you notice something you never picked up on before. Every beat, every chord, each hook, each lyric feels exactly in the right place even when each song feels so creatively disjointed from the conventions of most material within the boundaries of the genre they represent.If anything negative is to be said about this extraordinary album is that it will most likely become the bench mark for every new piece of music this band writes. Dare I say it "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" is quite simply a modern musical masterpiece that will remain relevant in its own way years from now. An outstanding album best experienced in its entirety on multiple occasions before it's true beauty is exposed.
5 Air with a backbone!!!bowsie1 | 18/01/2010 | See all bowsie1's reviews (125)Top 100 Music Reviewer Quality french pop that is easily one of the best albums of 2009. Each track flows into the next and the only gripe is it's over too quick.!!!This should put Phoenix on the map and bring them out of cult obscurity.Pure Gallic Class, try it and you will not be dissappointed
4 Catchykitsy23 | 21/04/2010 | See all kitsy23's reviews (2)Foot tapping music that will make you want to click your fingers. At times samey but still you can't help but get hooked on this album...
4 A good listenAdolescentDom | 24/01/2010 | See all AdolescentDom's reviews (18)Phoenix have been around for a while but this is their first album that has really broken into the mainstream. It seems like you can't go far without seeing that album cover (even on leaflets found in my local pub... random!).The album itself is a collection of catchy indie-pop with a slight electro twist, hardly surprising with the apparent popularity of electro music in France. The songs all flow nicely from one to the next and the lyrics are pretty good. I just wish it was longer!

Reviewer: Barbara Watters -
I received prompt and courteous attention when I called AmeriPro Appliance. Our dishwasher was acting up. Mike came out to take a look. Mike was exceptionally helpful, honest and extremely knowledgeable and diagnosed and repaired the problem immediately. He had the parts on hand so there wasn't any waiting. He answered all my questions and even gave me some "inside tips" to keep my dishwasher working perfectly. I would recommend this company to my family and friends. Thanks AmeriPro Appliance!

Open, Extendable Architecture
- Extend Flowmaster functionality by creating custom components with embedded intellectual property
- Co-simulate with other leading CAE/CFD tools such as MATLAB Simulink, to optimize overall system performance and aid component development and selection
- Create scripts for controlling components or networks
- 'Open API' structure allows integration into user product development process including in-house codes, CAE, manufacturing and optimization tools
- Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) Model Export support allows Flowmaster models to be shared across other CAE tools during the design process through an independent standard for model exchange.
Design Optimization Capability
The 'Experiments' feature in Flowmaster provides users with the ability to conduct superior 'what-if' analyses for 1D thermo-fluid analysis.
- Using a Latin Square algorithm, Flowmaster helps users generate unique combinations of distributed input values between specific bounds. This ability creates an ideal foundation for the creation of meta-models and response surfaces that characterize a Flowmaster system response
- Monte Carlo simulations can be performed to produce simulation results based on a probability distribution generated from a mean and standard deviation for selected input parameters. This allows the effect of small variations in input values to be examined and enables Flowmaster to be used in risk analysis and quality control environments such as Design for Six Sigma (DFSS)
Secure Data
- Secure storage of networks, performance data, components and results in an industry standard relational database
- Audit trail & tracking of model design history with 'roll back' functionality
- Administration controls for user access permissions to project data
- Database synchronization to enable engineers to work safely onsite, offline from the server
The new Flowmaster "experiments" capability harnesses the power of robust simulation within an exploratory methodology. It allows users to create response surfaces and export meta-model data as either standard ANSI C code or as S-Functions for use in a real-time environment providing support for hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
Using a Latin Square algorithm, Flowmaster helps users generate unique combinations of distributed input values between specific bounds. This ability creates an ideal foundation for designing experiments, and the creation of meta-models and response surfaces that characterize a Flowmaster system response.
Unique 1D-3D Simulation for Thorough System Level Design
- Accurately characterize individual components in FloEFD 3D CFD software
- Use component characteristics in 1D system-level models for system simulation
- Increases solution accuracy and minimizes computational resources and execution times
- Augment component library
Two-phase Steam and Air Mix
Steam is one of the most widely used commodities for conveying heat energy whether in process applications or in the power generation industry. With Flowmaster V7 engineers can model the entire Rankine Cycle with a library of components that includes pipes, condensers, superheaters, steam traps, and a flash tank. By modeling the two phase steam network with Flowmaster V7 you can predict essential characteristics of the system including; enthalpy, entropy, temperature, pressure, flow rate, flow regime and steam quality, allowing for configuration, sizing and operational studies to be performed to help maximize the efficiency of the system design.

Kansas LLC Operating Agreement
The Kansas LLC Operating Agreement is the core document that is referred to when issues
concerning a Kansas limited liability
company ("LLC") need to be resolved.
The LLC
Operating Agreement is the most important document for your Kansas LLC.
In the case of a single member LLC, without the formality
of an LLC Operating Agreement, the LLC can closely resemble
a sole proprietorship, which does not limit your personal
liability for business debts of the LLC.
With respect to a multi-member LLC, the LLC Operating Agreement reflects the agreement among the members with
respect to the affairs and management of the LLC and governs
the relationship amongst the members of the LLC. By having
an LLC Operating Agreement, the members will be provided
with a clear set of rules that all members have agreed upon
greatly reducing the likelihood of disagreement between
them in the future. A LLC Operating Agreement will also
greatly reduce financial and management misunderstandings,
and make sure your business is governed by your own rules
-- not default rules created by the state of Kansas.
Need a LLC Operating Agreement for your Kansas LLC?
will generate a customized LLC Operating agreement for your
Kansas LLC in a matter of minutes.
Whether your LLC

or by elected managers, or will be granting one or more
members an interest in the LLC for the performance of services,
myLLCagreement.com will generate a customized LLC operating
agreement tailored to the needs of your business.
If you don't want
to spend thousands of dollars on a lawyer and don't trust
outdated internet forms, then let myLLCagreement.com help
you create a customized LLC operating agreement for your
Kansas LLC.
The LLC operating
agreement does not have to be filed with any state agency.
All states, including the state of Kansas will enforce valid
operating agreements entered into among LLC members. The
operating agreement will only be enforced against the persons
who are parties to the agreement. Therefore, it is extremely
important that all members of an LLC sign the operating

Ascites is the build-up of fluid in the space between the lining of the abdomen and abdominal organs.
Portal hypertension - ascites
Ascites results from high pressure in the blood vessels of the liver (portal hypertension) and low levels of a protein called albumin .
Diseases that can cause severe liver damage can lead to ascites. These include long-term hepatitis C or B infection and alcohol abuse over many years.
People with certain cancers in the abdomen may develop ascites. These include cancer of the colon, ovaries, uterus, pancreas, and liver.
Other conditions that can cause this problem include:
Kidney dialysis may also be linked to ascites.
Symptoms may develop slowly or suddenly depending on the cause of ascites. You may have no symptoms if there is only a small amount of fluid in the belly.
As more fluid collects, you may have abdominal pain and bloating. Large amounts of fluid can cause shortness of breath.
Many other symptoms of liver failure may also be present.
Your doctor will do a physical exam to determine the amount of swelling in your belly.
You may also have the following tests to assess your liver and kidneys:
Your doctor may also use a thin needle to withdraw ascites fluid from your belly. The fluid is tested to look for the cause of ascites.
The condition that causes ascites will be treated, if possible.
Treatments for fluid build-up may include lifestyle changes :
You may also get medicines from your doctor including:
Procedures that you may have are:
If you have ascites, call your health care provider right away if you have:

Amsterdam: Nature
Destination guide
Green Areas and a culture of environmental protection make Amsterdam a city where you can breathe Nature. Several parks and gardens add colour to this capital and allow time for rest and reflection. Definitely a good escape from the stress of day-to-day!
Amsterdam is a nature city and one the most environmentally friendly. Consider this: Over 600 thousand bicycles in circulation, instead of cars, can only be a benefit to the health of those who live there, or those who visit. Free yourself from waste gases of the most cosmopolitan cities and breathe the pure air of Amsterdam. Start off by renting a bike, (http://www.recycledbicycles.org/home.html), as other bicycle rental shops in the city, you can take one from five Euros per day. Now, you just have to ride across the narrow streets of Amsterdam to get to one of the best known parks, the Vondelpark. Its entrance gate gives us the idea of a trip to the past, it seems like the door of an illustrious castle. It has 47 acres of gardens and lakes, a journey through history of art. Inside is the Filmmuseum. In summer the park hosts outdoor concerts. Another green space you must visit is Westerpark, a park that also has a theater and cinema, which dates from 1891.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY (KMOV.com) -- St. Louis County officials have reported that 3,700 people have active warrants in the county every single day.
One of those who was wanted on warrants was Sean Johnson, the shooter in the Stevens Institute of Business and Arts last week. St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch says they are trying to reduce the number of warrants, and doing the best they can with the resources they have.
The county says that they cooperate with the city and u.S. Marshalls in trying to pick up those who are wanted on warrants on a daily basis.

Here you can find all of DxOMark's measurement publishing announcements, along with a selection of reviews, print and blog articles from the photo press and communities that talk about DxOMark or reference DxOMark results.
The Pentax smc DA Star 55mm f/1.4 SDM is a prime standard lens that allows users to dream up pictures with incredible artistic aesthetics thanks largely to its medium focal length and extra wide aperture of f/1.4. The latter also gives it a leg up in dark conditions. But how does the lens compare to similar Pentax lenses, or similar pieces of glass made by its rivals? |
Affordable. Light. Compact. And a classic. The two-decade-old Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM is a popular lens known for producing high quality images. Its wide aperture and medium focal length make this Canon product ideal for newbie photographers looking to enhance their portfolio with a portrait lens. |
Are you a Canon or Nikon photographer looking for a versatile prime standard lens? The Tokina's AT-X M35 PRO DX AF 35mm f/2.8 Macro might be the lens for you. It gives users myriad shooting options: you can take portraits, photograph detail oriented macro pictures, or snap landscape images. DxOMark takes a look at how the lens performs on select Canon and Nikon cameras, and how it stacks up against rivals. |
Sony's latest expert compact camera, the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100, incorporates a 1-inch sensor that is larger than the 1/1.7" and 2/3" sensors of its competitors. Sony has already surprised us over the past few years with its highly efficient CMOS sensors. Will this be the case for the RX100? Our DxOMark tests reveal the answer. |
To website |
The Alpha NEX-F3 ($599) is Sony's entry-level mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. It's the replacement to the NEX-C3, with the most significant change being a new 3-inch LCD that can flip upward 180 degrees and face your subject. In addition, the F3 now sports a built-in flash, so you'll no longer need to carry around an external one. It also has a wider ISO range, an improved movie mode, and a new Superior Auto mode. Read the article |
To website |
The Samsung NX210 is, apart from the addition of a Wi-Fi mode, as good as identical to its predecessor Samsung NX200. In this article we have therefore concentrated on the new features of the camera but also included our usual studio test scene. However, to get the full set of test data and information that you expect from a dpreview review please also read our Samsung NX200 review from earlier this year in addition to this article. Read the article |
After an intense year spent testing digital cameras — taking one photo every 10 seconds! — the DxOMark teams are working even more, despite the shining sun, to offer you new features. DxOMark will return in September with even better ways to help users compare products, along with new sensor and lens reviews of all the latest and greatest camera gear. In the meantime, DxOMark asks all its loyal button pushers to keep their camera shutters clicking! |
Canon's 18-megapixel EOS M is sure to turn heads, as it combines some of Canon's famous DSLR and video technology and stuffs it into a point-and-shoot like camera body. Here's the scoop on Canon's first mirrorless model and some of its accessories. |
The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM is the ultimate wide-angle lens. It allows photographers to take pictures with unusual angles and in tight spaces. But the lens was tripped up in DxOMark testing in one important category. |
Samyang's 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC for Canon would make a quality lens for photographers who have a knack for manually focusing their images. The lens excludes an autofocus system, which helps bring down its price by hundreds of dollars. |
Pentax's smc DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited is a versatile lens that allows photographers to capture detail shots, portraits, and medium-sized candid pictures. How does this prime lens stackup compared to similar lenses made by Pentax and other similar lenses? |
The Nikon D4 is a cheetah reincarnated into a camera body, capable of shooting a speedy 9 to 11 frames per second. But what kind of lenses would make the best companions for this high octane camera? DxOMark has some recommendations. |
Bridge cameras often suffer from so-so image quality and cheap finishing touches. How does this premium bridge from Fuji compare to such expert compact cameras as the Canon Powershot S100 or G12? Does it use the same sensor as the Fujifilm X10? What differences in performance can we expect when pitting it against an APS-C hybrid? Here are the DxOMark.com test results for the Fujifilm FinePix X-S1. |
The Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM would make a great companion for wildlife photographers – it is Canon's longest lens in its macro category. And as an added selling point, the lens performed above average in four out five DxOMark evaluation categories. |
The Tamron SP AF 180mm f/3.5 Di LD (IF) Macro 1:1 Canon would make an ideal lens companion for nature and wildlife photographers who are on a budget. Affordable and lightweight, the lens excels in many of DxOMark's image quality tests, but it is also tripped up in one important category. |
The new Nikon D800E ditches the low-pass optical filter found in the D800. The result is a camera that produces images with sharper image quality and a stronger preservation of details. But does this absence of an anti-aliasing filter impact the camera's sensor in other areas? |
With the new 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM, Sigma renews its optical formula while providing a compact version of its trans-standard zoom. |
Nikon is stepping up its efforts by expanding its FX-format lens range. Now an affordable and versatile full-frame lens has arrived in the Nikkor line: the AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR. |
Newcomer to Nikon's line of general-public trans-standard lenses, the AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is being marketed as an ultra-versatile lens. |
Sigma's new 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM II Nikon made some gains over its predecessor, including a dramatic improvement with tapping down chromatic aberration. But the lens also stumbled, regressing in our lens distortion category. |
Last week Canon announced a replacement for its amateur D-SLR but also two STM enabled lenses for continuous tracking of moving objects: the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM and the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM. |
Announced at the same time as the Canon EOS 650D, will the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM establish itself as the trans-standard lens of reference for APS-C reflex owners? Learn more in our preview. |
Today Cannon announced its new amateur D-SLR with the Canon EOS-650D. Despite some nice new features, this new model is not a revolution in term of sensor with a 18 MPix APS-C sensor. Before we can test how good it performs, here are our first impressions in this preview. |
The new lightweight smc Pentax-DA 40mm f/2.8 XS strives to be a versatile weapon in a photographer's arsenal of lenses. But the dainty lens, weighing only 51 grams and measuring a slim 9mm in thickness, needs a little more beef – at least that's what DxOMark determined after putting the lens' optics through our rigorous tests. |
We've put the Sony SLT-A57, a digital SLR with electronic viewfinder that incorporates a well-known 16Mpix CMOS ASP-C sensor, through its paces at DxOMark. What progress can we expect? How does it compare with its competitors, both reflex and hybrids? Here are our results. |
Last year Nikon endowed the D5100 with a 16Mpix CMOS sensor and an articulated screen. This year Nikon has grafted a 24Mpix high-resolution APS-C sensor onto its D3100 amateur camera to create a new version, the D3200. What kind of image quality can we expect from this entry-level camera's very high-resolution sensor? The answer can be found in our tests. |
Sony unveils its new expert compact digital large-sensor model, the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100, which offers a unique mix of sensor array size and camera body compactness. Can this "premium" compact become the benchmark for this market segment? |
The launch of the 1D X is approaching. And, before we can test it, we wanted to share with you a detailed comparison of Canon's new flagship professional camera with its predecessors and competitors. Overall, this looks like an interesting evolution. |

Immune defence against pathogens entering the gut is accomplished by lymphocytes in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), a major compartment of the immune system. The GALT, comprising Peyer's patches, lamina propria lymphocytes and intra-epithelial lymphocytes of the intestine, is populated by lymphocytes that migrate there from the vasculature. Here we report that, in mice deficient for the beta7 integrin subfamily of adhesion molecules, the formation of the GALT is severely impaired. This is probably due to a failure of beta7-/- lymphocytes to arrest and adhere to the vasculature at the site of transmigration into the GALT.

Phoenix Suns
Lon Babby: We took Michael Beasley on as 'long-term project'
Michael Beasley has gone through quite a transition during his first two months in a Phoenix Suns uniform.
From the projected go-to guy to a work in a progress to a reserve, Beasley hasn't adjusted quite so easily to his latest change of scenery. With the Suns, Beasley is averaging career lows in points per game (10.9), rebounds per game (3.8) and field goal percentage (37.3).
President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby was one of the men responsible for signing the former No. 2 overall pick to a three-year deal worth $18 million over the summer. While he didn't necessarily retract the lofty goals the organization seemed to have for Beasley going into the season, Babby spoke Wednesday about Phoenix's enigmatic small forward with cautious tones.
"We all knew the challenges," Babby told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf regarding the signing of Beasley. "Michael knew the challenges. There's not going to be any pressure or disconnect from us.
"Alvin Gentry's job is to win games every day, and we understand that and we need to give him the freedom to do that. Our job [in the front office] is to evaluate things in the long-term."
In the short-term it's safe to say that Beasley -- who has spent the last six games coming off the pine -- hasn't delivered the type of instant gains the front office likely imagined. With that said, Babby insists that now is not the time for anyone -- not fans, coaches or management -- to overreact.
"I understand the need for immediate gratification, and we all wish he were playing more," said Babby. "But when we took this on, we took this on as a long-term project. He's under contract for three years, and I want to access this over a period of time.
"The issues that we are working with him, on the court and off the court, whatever they may be, they are not going to get resolved in 20 games. And, we understood that."
Heading into Saturday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Beasley isn't even ranked in the top three on the Suns in any major statistical category outside of blocks per game.
Since his demotion to the bench, Beasley is averaging 8.8 points per game on 39.1 percent shooting from the field.
