Wii U, the new Nintendo console, reinvents the controller
The new Nintendo console, the Wii U, boasts HD graphics and will have a tablet built into its controller.
Nintendo has introduced the world to the Wii's touchy new big brother: the Wii U.
The Japanese gaming giant on Tuesday unveiled the Wii video game console's successor, which will broadcast high-definition video and feature a touchscreen controller that can detect motion and interact with what appears on a television display.
"Up until now, home console games had to occupy the TV screen in order to be played," said Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. "The new controller for Wii U, with its 6.2-inch screen built in, means you won't need to give up your gameplay when someone else comes in the room and wants to watch a TV program."
The white touchscreen controller, reminiscent of Apple Inc.'s iPad and other tablet computers, can broadcast standard-definition video but also features a directional pad, microphone, dual analog sticks, speakers, two pairs of shoulder buttons and a front-facing camera, which can be used to make video calls.
The console itself will use proprietary high-definition optical discs, 1080p HDMI output and internal memory that can be upgraded with USB and SD technology. No other technical specifications were provided.
The prototype controller was demonstrated during the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the gaming industry's annual convention, in several ways: displaying a player's inventory in a "Legend of Zelda" game, offering an alternative way to play a chasing game, being used as a shield from incoming attacks in a first-person shooter game and showing the image of a teed-up golf ball on the ground before it was struck to a putting green depicted on a TV.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - Kansas State coach Deb Patterson is picking Connecticut to win an eighth national championship, even if the Huskies face Baylor in this season's title game.
Patterson's Wildcats lost 72-26 to UConn on Monday night, and were routed three times by Baylor this season.
"I really just never pick against Connecticut," she said. "They're as versatile as you would have thought when they are shooting as well on the perimeter...I just think they have a versatility to them that makes them very dynamic."
But, she says the keys to a Baylor-UConn rematch, should it happen, will be the play of the Bears' 6-foot-8 center Brittney Griner and UConn's guards.
"They both bring almost contradictory strengths to the floor," she said. "Each is in a position to impact the others strength, and I think it will really come down, when all is said and done, to how Griner impacts the lane and how far Baylor is effective in extending out and forcing Connecticut's guard play. And how well Connecticut shoots that night."
K-State lost its games with Baylor this season by 35, 29 and 21 points. UConn also has lost to Baylor, 66-61 in December.
LEAVING HER MARK: LSU's LaSondra Barrett has a chance to set a significant LSU career record when she plays what will be the 6-foot-2 senior forward's last game on the Lady Tigers' home court.
The fifth seed meets fourth-seeded Penn State in Baton Rouge in a second-round NCAA tournament game on Tuesday night. Barrett has a chance to break Sylvia Fowles' all-time LSU mark of 494 made free throws.
Barrett, admired by teammates, coaches and fans for her fearless aggression under the basket, has 488 made free throws after hitting 13 in a first-round tournament victory over San Diego State on Sunday night.
"It is always an honor to be mentioned with a player like Sylvia or the greats that have come through LSU," Barrett said. "They can never be replaced. They set tremendous milestones here. Just to be mentioned with them is an honor to me."
With her 10 rebounds on Sunday, Barrett also became the 10th player in school history to hit the 800-mark in that department. She is also 11th at LSU in career scoring with 1,535 points, 62 points short of cracking the top 10.
ARMCHAIR COACH: Baylor coach Kim Mulkey has been on pins and needles watching the school's men's team win its first two NCAA tournament games. In fact, she found herself hollering at her television, offering some advice to Bears coach Scott Drew.
"He finally listened," she said. "I just knew we had that rapport through the television."
What did she want Baylor to do? Well, it's a funny story actually.
"Scott is a zone coach and I'm a man-to-man coach," Mulkey explained. "He's playing more man-to-man now and I'm loving it, but the other night I was screaming, `You need to go to a zone. You need to go to a zone and keep `em out of the paint.' And he did and it won the game for him.
"I was telling one of his assistants, actually this morning, I said, `I was so proud of you all for making a change right there to a zzzzzzone.' I got that word out of my mouth."
TRIANGLE OFFENSE: Georgetown women's coach Terri Williams-Flournoy talked to men's coach John Thompson III on Monday morning - and no, he didn't want her to take a short drive east to trash the North Carolina State campus.
At the same time Sunday that Georgetown's women won in the subregional hosted by North Carolina, the men's team lost to N.C. State in the third round.
N.C. State's campus is roughly a 30-minute drive from Chapel Hill in this hoops hotbed known as the North Carolina Triangle.
"John and I have kind of a set rule - we don't talk to each other after losses, because we understand," Williams-Flournoy said. "But I talked to John this morning and just expressed to him how we felt and how we were cheering for him to win."
PRAISE FOR BAUGH: DePaul coach Doug Bruno has high praise for Tennessee forward Vicki Baugh.
He recalled seeing her break the rim on a dunk after a U.S. team practice at the 2007 FIBA U19 world championships in Slovakia. She made a bigger impression on him the previous year simply by showing her maturity, when they were getting ready for the Americas U18 championship.
"When I coached the 18-year-olds, there were three young players that were not out of high school yet - Vicki Baugh, Maya Moore and Kayla Pedersen," Bruno said. "And there was also a group that year of players that were matriculating into college that kind of knew it all. It was just very, very impressive to see Vicki and Maya and Kayla have the guts to stand up and say, `This is what we are. This is how we do things. We do things the right way. We're not going to be swept up by all the stuff that's going on within this team.' It was just really impressive to watch the maturity of those three players and, specifically, Vicki."
NCAA sports writers Joedy McCreary, Andrew Seligman, Noah Trister, and Brett Martel contributed to this report.

Can Owners Avoid Growing Pains (February 27, 2015)
Fleet expansion remains limited despite healthy marketFleet growth was limited in 2014 as the large orderbook that existed at the start of the financial crisis was mostly delivered or cancelled prior to last year. Contracting was also limited as the financial turmoil and market uncertainty kept owners away from the shipyards. Growing demand with limited fleet growth resulted in a tightening supply/demand balance and improving freight rates.

Upset because I can't write it out of my system. Because I can't sit down and just tell a story. Why can't I just sit down and write it out? I'm always stuck, always blocked. Lots to write about, no tongue to do it with. Perhaps I've overestimated my abilities in the past.
Time to rethink my future major.
Irritated because I live in this town. This conservative town. Because all the girls I like are straight. Because I can't write her out of my system.
However, pleased that I have a "tolerance" sticker on my car now. That I got to spend my Sunday in my environment [that is, around a lot of gay people at Long Beach Pride]. That I have a best friend who can relate. That she is truly my best friend. That I was nominated for winner in our school's writing contest [seems to contradict my irritation].
Pleased that the author of the second best selling novel and I have something in common. Go, Daphne Du Maurier. But I'm very sorry for your boy trapped in the box all your life. Thank god for Gertrude, I guess.
Thinking about writing = writers block
Sitting down and doing it = writing
Sounds too simplistic, but I've yet to not write on a day when I just sat down, didn't think about it, and just let it happen. But I've had many a day when it didn't happen because I thought about it too much.
Good writing is about getting out of your own way.

Yeah i went Sunday too. Around 12 and I left around 4. Long Beach? Nice. WeHo? Nah i don't think so. I'm going to LA Pride though!
I didn't get there till like 4 so we coulda walked right past each other.
i'm gonna try hit up all the prides I can so I'll be at LA too.
but the I really wanna go to is San Francisco but thats like a 6 hour drive.

Radian Audio Showcases New Apex Series Monitors at InfoComm 08
Orange, CA (May 15, 2008) â Radian Audio Engineering will showcase the companyâs new Apex Series of compact stage monitors at InfoComm 08 in Las Vegas, NV (June 18-20). The Apex 1200 and the Apex 1500, two ultra-compact, low profile, two-way floor monitors for live performance and installed sound applications, are the newest additions to Radian Audioâs arsenal of stage monitors and were launched in January 2008.
The Apex 1200 features Radianâs top of the line, American-made 12-inch coaxial speaker with a 2-inch compression driver, offering a 90-degree conical dispersion. Power handling is 500 Watts RMS with a frequency response of 55 Hz â 17 kHz and a sensitivity of 99 dB. The enclosure is 12.5â x 14.5â? x 21.5â? (317 x 368 x 546 mm) and weighs 56 lb (25.4 kg).
The Apex 1500 houses a 15-inch coaxial speaker in an enclosure engineered to be almost half the size of conventional stage monitors without sacrificing performance. Also incorporating a 2-inch compression driver and generating a 90-degree conical dispersion, the Apex 1500 offers a power handling of 500 Watts RMS, a frequency response of 45 Hz â 18 kHz and a sensitivity of 102 dB. The enclosure measures 14.75â x 17.5â? x 22.75â? (374 x 445 x 578 mm) and weighs 66 lbs (29.9 kg).
By utilizing coaxial drivers Radian Audio has been able to engineer the two new Apex wedges with front baffles that are 40 percent smaller than most conventional floor monitors. The uniquely designed, ultra low profile cabinets minimize audience sightline interference while the compact form factor drastically reduces the onstage footprint. Constructed from 13-ply ¾-inch Baltic birch with a sturdy steel front grille, both enclosures incorporates a built-in carrying handle plus a hidden cable management system that prevents accidental damage to the twin NL-4 connectors.
The Apex 1200 and Apex 1500 are both outfitted as standard for passive or bi-amp operation. Apex monitors are available in scratch-resistant, waterproof Duradian finish or in a permanent installation version for contractors in black or white. Manufactured entirely in the USA, the Apex floor monitors have a five-year warranty.
Based in Southern California, Radian Audio Engineering is a leading manufacturer of loudspeaker systems and speaker components for permanent installed and touring live sound applications.

Take another look at health care actBy Aaron E. Carroll, Special to CNNUpdated 10:10 PM ET, Thu July 19, 2012Allison Miller was among the nurses and doctors giving free care in July in the Los Angeles area.Story highlightsAaron E. Carroll: Idea that GOP wants to cut, Democrats want to spend is a mythCarroll says the Affordable Care Act cuts future costs of health care significantly, if not enoughCuts in Medicare spending and oversight of abuses mean substantial savings, he saysCarroll: Parts of the act save money and some cost, but overall, it reduces the deficitUnless you've been living under a rock, you know people are concerned about the deficit. Or at least they say they are. You'd also have to be willfully ignoring everything around you not to know that health care spending is a significant cause, if not the cause, of our long-term fiscal problems.The narrative that seems to be going around Washington argues that there are two schools of thought about how to improve our financial outlook. One side wants to cut spending. The other side wants to increase taxes. Or, so it goes.I was out to dinner on Saturday night with a friend who is rather pessimistic about compromise in our government. He believes that the chances for passing anything that might reduce spending on health care in the future are near zero. There's just one problem with his outlook. We've already passed a law that does a great deal to reduce future health care spending.I have argued many times that I don't think the Affordable Care Act does enough to contain costs. I still believe that's true. But let's not ignore the fact that it does a lot. More, in fact, than anything else passed by Congress and signed into law by a president in quite some time.Aaron E. CarrollRight off the bat, we need to remember that the Affordable Care Act makes significant cuts to future Medicare spending. Reductions in overpayments for Medicare Advantage constitute almost $140 billion in savings over a decade. Changes in the fee-for-service reimbursement schedule add up to almost $200 billion. That's an enormous amount of money, so large that it scared many people into thinking that Medicare would be severely curtailed. Running against Medicare cuts helped sweep the Republicans into power in the House of Representatives in 2010. Often, such arguments came from the same people now decrying the Affordable Care Act for not cutting health care spending enough.But that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are lots of other payment reforms (PDF) that should "bend the curve" for Medicare in the next decade. Hospitals will be punished for re-admissions for certain conditions. This is expected to save $8.2 billion. Refusing payments for hospital-acquired conditions should save another $3.2 billion. Accountable care organizations, for better or for worse, are expected to save almost $5 billion in the first eight years as well.Everyone hates waste in the system. The health care act does something about that as well. Specifically, it strengthens our means to investigate and then go after people who abuse Medicare or Medicaid. The Congressional Budget Office has calculated that the health care act's provisions for abuse of these programs could reduce spending by an additional $1.8 billion.Just WatchedHouse GOP repeals Obamacare -- again replayMore Videos ...House GOP repeals Obamacare -- again 02:40PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedObama: No apology for health care fightreplayMore Videos ...Obama: No apology for health care fight 01:19PLAY VIDEOJust Watched'GPS': Zakaria's take on U.S. health carereplayMore Videos ...'GPS': Zakaria's take on U.S. health care 03:35PLAY VIDEOSurely you've heard about the Independent Payment Advisory Board? This one, too, has cost the administration politically. It's been demonized as an actual "death panel" of unelected, unaccountable people who will ration your Medicare. That's not true. The panel is made up of people who need Senate approval (not easy), and they don't serve for life. Moreover, they have a very specific, limited task.If, and only if, the amount of money Medicare spends per person goes up faster than the consumer price index, the panel will make recommendations to Congress on how to get Medicare to spend less. By statute, they can't "ration" care or increase premiums, deductibles or co-payments. Still, what makes this a better cost control than what existed before is that these recommendations automatically become law unless Congress can pass a different plan that achieves the same savings. Because Congress has a hard time passing anything these days, that's not as likely to happen. The payment advisory board gets going in 2014, and in just its first five years, it's expected to reduce spending for all Medicare programs by more than $23 billion (PDF).These are just mechanisms acting on government insurance, though. The Affordable Care Act has some measures that affect private spending as well. The excise tax is one of those. Starting in 2018, plans that cost more than a certain amount will have a 40% tax levied on employers who provide them. Let's acknowledge that such taxes will absolutely be passed on to regular people, so it doesn't matter who is stuck with the bill at first. It's also worth acknowledging that the levels where the tax kicks in are really high ($10,200 for an individual plan and $27,500 for a family). Even so, many believe that this will eventually be one of the strongest levers the Affordable Care Act contains to rein in spending in the future.We should also mention the insurance exchanges themselves. Although it will take time to work out the kinks, the general idea is that the exchanges should reduce the administrative burden of individually rating and selling plans to consumers. Insurance companies instead will have to compete on value, and try to negotiate with providers to reduce spending to remain competitive. We'll have to see how well this works.Finally, the law invests in the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and the CMS Innovation Center, which may lead to new ideas to contain costs as well. These are difficult to score, but they are being researched.You could argue that any one of these (other than the cuts to Medicare) is on the smaller side. But when you add them up, they start to get significant. So much so, that the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Affordable Care Act reduced the long-term fiscal gap by 2% of the gross domestic product over the next 75 years. That's about 25% to 33% of what is necessary to stabilize the debt in the long run. Granted, some of that deficit reduction comes from new taxes. But some of it also comes from reduction in future spending. Parts of the act cost money. Parts of the act save money. Overall, it is deficit reducing. You may not like these types of efforts. They may offend your political sensibilities. You may favor a more consumer-driven type of system, or one that relies less on panels of experts. But there's a difference between arguing that you want different measures and pretending those measures don't exist.Further, some have argued that these measures won't last. Someone will change them. Someone will gut them. But you have to remember that right now, they are law. Making them weaker requires action. Specifically, it requires a House and Senate to pass something altering them, and then a president to agree to sign it. That's hard to do in today's environment.Of course, some are campaigning on trying to do that right now. They want to overturn all of the above completely. That's fine; it's their right. But it's hard to understand how you can argue that the "other side" isn't serious about decreasing future health care spending while simultaneously working toward overturning the law it passed that does just that.Follow us on Twitter @CNNOpinion.Join us on Facebook/CNNOpinion.Opinion on the newsHow AirAsia flight compares to Air France 447 crashPilot Bill Palmer says the AirAsia flight had similarities to Air France 447, which also encountered bad weatherDon't turn your back on these childrenPoverty isn't the only reason why so many parents are paying to have their child smuggled into the United States, says Carole GeithnerIran's hypocrisy in condemning U.S. racism Michael Rubin says it's a farce that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei posted tweets criticizing U.S. policeThe smart thing that makes you stupidRon Friedman says your smartphone may be making you behave stupidly; resolve to resist distractions in 2015Is AI a threat to humanity?Artificial intelligence does not need to be malevolent to be catastrophically dangerous to humanity, writes Greg Scoblete.Welcome to the troll ageThe ability to manipulate media and technology has increasingly become a critical strategic resource, says Jeff Yang.More from opinionThanks, Ben Carson, but prison doesn't make people 'come out' gayWhat will happen if the bees disappear?Why Iran's rise is a good thingPowered by Livefyre

BERWICK, Maine – A group of young basketball players has become involved in the well-being of their community by collecting donations to benefit a local food pantry and an animal shelter.Noble Middle School's seventh grade boy's basketball team worked all season to organize a food drive and with their season now at an end, they were able to deliver their bounty to a local food pantry.Coach and Somersworth police officer Tim McLin said he challenged the boys to come up with a community service project in an effort to instill in them the importance of community involvement.He said the boys chose to organize the food drive for the Somersworth/Berwick Community Food Pantry.Throughout their 2013 – 2014 season, the boys collected non-perishable food items and donated them all to the pantry."The donation of the food items comes at a critical time for the food pantry, as there is often a need to replenish the shelves after the holiday season," McLin said. "We hope to make this a yearly event and have the event grow each year."
McLin said the basketball players also recently completed a donation drive to benefit a local animal shelter. He said they collected pet food and supplies and will deliver them to the shelter.McLin thanked the players, their parents and the school administrators, Principal Mike Roberts and Vice Principal/Athletic Director Scott Descoteaux for their support in this effort.

Hi guys, I have a canopy that I am trying to tint. I would like to replace the heavy canopy on my F22 with this:
and then tint it to look like: I purchased some Decoart Acrylic Translucents in the color orange and thought I will rinse the inside of the canopy with the orange and then back it with some Chrome rattle can paint. Has anyone else tried something like this with any success? |
Nov 07, 2012, 05:12 PM | |
My experiments with the paint on a piece of scrap milar proved unsuccessful. When sprayed against on the milar for what would be the inner surface, the results on the outside were not chrome, not even shiny. Just a dull grey from behind the orange translucent. The chrome would work well if it was sprayed over the top of the canopy rather than from within it. I just don't think that is the way I want to paint it.
Nov 08, 2012, 03:01 PM | |
I did some Chrome trim tape on a Midwest AT-6 canopy.outside,then sprayed it with automotive 2 part clear..It held up a couple of seasons,but nothing wants to stick to the plastics we use...That's one of the reasons they paint car bodies inside ,apart from the wear and tear on the outside.
A scrap piece of canopy material,masked off with that new sealing painter's tape would be an interesting test for dye. Two canopies ,one over the other,may be a solution-one painted,one dyed....the painted one cut out as the framework. |

Tinting & Colouring Clear Canopies
Most now use the specially formulated spay tint colours by Tamiya and other RC Car body manufacturers which are easily masked for effect. Please refer to "What Colours Do We Fly, Tips for Better Aircraft Visibility", which is a composition of previous posts. "Tinting & Colouring Clear Canopies - David Tatosian & others", will be found in lower quarter of the document. Much more below sub sections: "Colours & Visibility for models" "Covering & Painting" "Paints, Colour Charts, Mix Formulae & Strippers & How to spray F/Glass and ABS etc") under Alan's Hobby, Model & RC FAQ Web Links Alan T. |

Painting is not that difficult. Use a vinyl tape to mask or even electrical tape. Use lite coats to get the coverage you want. Any of the "candy" colors can be used or the "tinting" colors also. Painting the inside of the canopy is best, IMO, so no fuel proofing is necessary. If you must paint the outside, sand the whole canopy with some 800 grit, wet. Paint where you want the tint, then clear coat the whole canopy. It will shine like it was new. All the sanding scratches go away.

This is a simplistic question regarding a very basic project. The answer is probably somewhere on HBT, but I can't find it--so apologies in advance. I'm swapping out my Ranco 1 stage controller with a Ranco 2 stage ETC 211000-000. In short, I don't want to drill holes through the walls of my old Kenmore fridge. I'm currently just running the sensor cable past the door seal with some added duct tape. Since the heater will require real amperage, is it safe to do the same with wires supplying the heater? If so, can this be done with 120V? Or would it be safer to use a low voltage heater, such as 12-24V? Advice would be very much appreciated.
My airlock passes gas.
I really don't think the wires will get pinched (if that's even your question) to the extent that it'll cause any kind of hazzard. I too didn't want to risk drilling in the walls of my fridge...so I simply drilled through the door. No chance of hitting any cooling lines.....I originally ran my thermo wire past the door seal...but I didn't like how it misshapped the rubber...especially if I wanted to use it as a fridge again. I figure I can always just chaulk the small hole in the door.
Does the fridge have a drain hole? You could come up through that so no drilling is done.
As you say, It's an old kenmore fridge, you could simply cut a little notch in the door weatherstripping near the bottom hinge and the secure the wire w/ a bit of tape.
Thanks all for good advice. A hole near the door edge on the hinge side--maybe filled with foam--or a notch in the weatherstripping should both work. Perhaps the wires could be wrapped with some kind of closed cell foam in case of the notch arrangement for a better seal. Thanks and Brew Strong

Treat Iraq's dark chapter like holocaust - remember
When CNN news executive Eason Jordan went public in the New York Times last month with hitherto untold stories of horrendous torture in Iraq, he was doing the world an important service.
His article raised a storm because he'd kept silent about the torture for a dozen years while lobbying the Saddam Hussein government for CNN access and facilities. Mr. Jordan argued that to have told his story earlier would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqis and CNN staff in Baghdad.
I wish he'd told what he knew earlier, but even belatedly, it was important corroboration of the fact that Hussein's regime ranks with Hitler's and Stalin's and Pol Pot's and with those of a bunch of other contemporary tyrants from Bosnia to Rwanda in its cruelty to its own people.
Jordan told of an Iraqi cameraman beaten for a week and subjected to electroshock torture in a secret police basement.
He told of executions and teeth ripped out with pliers. He told of a woman beaten daily for two months while her father was forced to watch. Finally, as the American forces approached, the secret police tore her body apart, leaving it in a plastic bag on her family's doorstep.
As American troops have secured Iraq's cities, frightened citizens have emerged to revisit torture cells where hooks for hanging remain, to dig up graves looking for executed relatives, and to start telling their terrible tales of torture and killing on a scale that is mind-boggling.
Ears were sliced off, particularly of young men who went absent without leave from their military units. Official torturers left behind a trail of maimed victims without tongues, toenails, eyes. Thousands of people are missing and may never be found, even as new mass graves are uncovered, and family members scrabble in individual graves in search of relatives lost and probably executed.
Even if weapons of mass destruction are never found and the connection to Al Qaeda is never established beyond all doubt, putting an end to this despicable regime has been a noble cause.
Now the question is: What are we to do in the aftermath?
Where the torturers can be found, they must be brought to justice. But beyond this immediate task, the story of what Hussein did to his country and people must be pieced together in its entirety, recorded, and preserved as history for successive generations lest they forget.

Concierge.com's insider take:
The latest guidebooks and maps still point to Banburi, the Indian-run silk shop and tailor on Phang Nga Road, but that venerable classic is no more. In its place is Job and Things, a worthy new gift shop hoping to cash in on the well-known location. The owner, Job, is still figuring out what "things" should define her space. But somewhere among the bolts of cloth, Thai-crafted jewelry, funny hats, and assorted bric-a-brac is, perhaps, the perfect souvenir or gift.

Portsmouth vs Barnsley Preview
Will Pompey claim their first home win of 2011? Pompey will be looking to build on their win at Doncaster with another victory over a Yorkshire club when Barnsley come to town.Team NewsNew loan signing David Cotterill will go straight into the side and replace Jonathan Hogg who is suspended following his red card at Doncaster. Steve Cotterill is likely to revert to a 4-4-2 formation with David Nugent being pushed up front alongside Dave Kitson.Aaron Mokoena is back in the squad now he has his work permit but the Pompey manager should (hopefully) stick with the same back four that kept a clean sheet at the Keepmoat Stadium.New loan signing Paul McShane will go straight into the Barnsley team to replace Stephen Foster who has a leg injury.The MatchThose of us who were hardy enough to travel to Doncaster last week were rewarded with the rare feeling of victory. The other 12,000-or-so fans who regularly attend games at Fratton Park haven't felt this since October 30th so it's about time that was put right.David Cotterill's addition to the side should mean that Pompey line up in a 4-4-2 formation and Dave Kitson, whose son has recently been in hospital (which would explain the past sub-par performances), will get the strike partner he craves.With one less man in midfield, it will be up to the impressive Joel Ward to do the dog work alongside Hayden Mullins but I hope this means we won't see the youngster push forward, as he has shown he is capable of scoring goals after his deft chip last week.However, most importantly it is essential that Steve Cotterill resists the temptation to restore captain Mokoena to the side and leave the back four as it was at Doncaster. Ricardo Rocha's presence transformed a nervy defence that would hoof the ball at first opportunity into a more calm, collected unit capable of passing the ball out of trouble. Given that Greg Halford played well alongside the Portuguese defender, I wouldn't expect him to be dropped and the same can be said for De Laet and Hreidarsson.I'm not sure what to expect from the Tykes but I can only hope that this match is nothing like the absolute abomination I saw at Oakwell earlier in the campaign.Adam Hamill scored the only goal in that game and whilst he has gone, youngster Jake Mellis has gone some way to filling his boots with two goals in two games so he'll be one to watch.It is important we continue the good work started at Doncaster as a poor result tomorrow would again heap massive pressure on the team going into a crucial run of fixtures over the next six weeks.I'm quietly confident we'll be going home happy after this one.Predicted Starting Line-UpsPompeyGK: Jamie ASHDOWNRB: Ritchie DE LAETCB: Greg HALFORDCB: Ricardo ROCHALB: Hermann HREIDARSSONRM: Liam LAWRENCECM: Joel WARDCM: Hayden MULLINSLM: David COTTERILLCF: David NUGENTCF: Dave KITSONBarnsleyGK: Luke STEELERB: Matt HILLCB: Bobby HASSELLCB: Jason SHACKELLLB: Paul McSHANERM: Frank NOUBLECM: Nathan DOYLECM: Jake BUTTERFIELDLM: Jake MELLISCF: Garry O'CONNORCF: Danny HAYNESLast Time: Portsmouth 4 Barnsley 4 (Division One - 02/02/2002)A crazy game at Fratton Park began with Robert Prosinecki scoring a penalty after Courtney Pitt had been hacked in the box early on but Chris Lumsdon equalised with a curling effort that beat Dave Beasant.Linvoy Primus then headed Pompey back into the lead before the break but surrendered it again two minutes after half-time as Chris Barker levelled the score.But on the hour mark Prosinecki again gave Pompey the advantage with a superb solo goal and then capped his hat-trick with a free kick eight minutes later.However, the celebrations were turned sour as Lumsdon scored from the spot and then Primus was dubiously sent off for a so-called "punch" on Mike Sheron who would then go on to score a stoppage time equaliser.My PredictionSo long as Cotterill Snr. resists the temptation to tinker with the defence and Cotterill Jnr. can impress on his debut then I'm confident that Pompey fans will finally see their team win at home!Portsmouth 2 Barnsley 0

Just three weeks ago the National Transport Authority (NTA) officially started the tendering for 2016 of initially 10% of Dublin Bus routes and a further 10% of all Bus Eireann routes with most of the routes in Waterford City, and a number of Dublin commuter routes are to be privatised. In the original plan a number of Cork City routes were to go but these will probably happen later. This process has been the culmination of a relentless effort by Fine Gael (FG) in the present government and their predecessors and fellow Neo-Liberal ideologists, Fianna Fáil (FF) in the last government where they have consistently pushed for the break up of both Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann so that it can be handed over to their friends in the private sector to run on a profit basis. The NTA is used as a sort of cloak of respectability to give the impression that they will actually be a regulator with teeth of which we know very few regulators have any teeth, with the banking regulator during the Celtic Tiger coming to mind, plus many other examples and the function of NTA is really for propaganda value to convince the middle class. However this whole scheme is about ideology and is NOT about competition but about privatisation. ... read full story / add a comment

Decreased expression of HLA-DQ and HLA-DR on cells of the monocytic lineage in cystic fibrosis

Get AccessAbstract
We studied HLA class II molecules on blood monocyte subsets, blood dendritic cells, sputum macrophages, and monocyte-derived macrophages at the protein (flow cytometry) and mRNA level (RT-PCR) in adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and healthy control subjects as putative contributors to the CF phenotype. In healthy donors, we found a high average HLA-DQ expression of 4.35 mean specific fluorescence intensity units (ΔMnI) on classical blood monocytes. In F508del homozygous CF patients, the average ΔMnI was low (1.80). Patients were divided into two groups, in which 14 of these patients had HLA-DQ expression above 2 ΔMnI (average 3.25 ΔMnI, CF-DQgroup1) and 36 below (average 1.24 ΔMnI, CF-DQgroup2). Also, the CD16-positive monocyte subset and blood dendritic cells showed much lower levels of HLA-DQ for the CF-DQgroup2 patients compared with healthy controls. In macrophages from sputum and derived from monocytes, in vitro HLA-DQ expression was dramatically decreased to background levels in CF-DQgroup2. MHC class II transcripts were reduced in CF with a sevenfold decrease in HLA-DQβ1 for CF-DQgroup2 patients. Higher levels of the inflammation marker CRP were associated with low HLA-DQ protein expression, and in vitro treatment with the inflammatory molecule lipopolysaccharide reduced HLA-DQ expression. Interferon γ (IFNγ) could overcome this effect in healthy donor cells while, in CF, the IFNγ-induced activation was impaired. Our data demonstrate a pronounced reduction of HLA-DQ expression in CF, which is associated with inflammation and a reduced response to IFNγ.
Key message
• CF patients show a reduced expression of MHCII molecules in monocytes and macrophages.
• HLA-DQ and HLA-DR transcript levels are also reduced in CF patients.
• CF patient C-reactive protein levels correlate with low HLA-DQ expression.
• Reduced expression of MHC class II molecules appears to be linked to inflammation.
• CF patients exhibit an impaired response to IFNgamma.
