The Gallagher of our generation. Dane Cook is a "comedian" that everyone seems to love despite his extreme mediocrity. His amazing lack of jokes combined with his ability to run around the stage like a five-year-old without his meds appeals to anyone without a soul or any knowledge of comedy. His trite and obvious observations contain no punchlines and often appeal to people with short attention spans.
You ever go into the bathroom and everything is WET? The floor is wet! The counters are wet! Everything's wet!
-Dane Cook
Uh... could it be because people piss on the floor and wash their hands aggressively?

A terrible comedian who's known for stealing jokes from earlier, talented comedians such as Louis C.K. universally reviled, only teenagers with half a brain think Dane Cook's funny.
I can't believe you like Dane Cook, you probably like Carlos Mencia too.

A chuckle-at-best of a comedian who will disappear as quick as he came. 20 years from now, he'll be as memorable as Yakov Shmirnoff or Paula Poundstone. You may have already forgotten about him and his stolen, tired act by the time your done reading this.

An overrated actor/comedian who isn't the least bit funny and is known for stealing his jokes from Louis CK. all he ever does is swear a lot and tell all these uninteresting and unfunny stories about his pathetic life, expecting people to laugh. Plus he's a singer, but a very, very bad one.
Dane Cook: Why do they call bananas bananas? Shouldn't they be called FUNanas because theyre fun and they're full of deliciousness? Isn't that like the point of eating a banana? Well that's why I eat a banana now STEP OFF!

Most people support keeping the Bills here
I see nothing wrong with Erie County investing in and helping the National Football League and the Buffalo Bills to remain here. They are great assets for our area. Also, we have obligations to our own stadium. The City of Buffalo is not directly involved in this enterprise, as some like to allude to.
Other than a few naysayers, and those who like to put down sports in general, most of us support our football team. This franchise has flourished through the years at Orchard Park. Building a new stadium, if this may be necessary in the future, anywhere other than Orchard Park, or shoving it inside a congested area in the city, would be downright foolish.

Photographing Over 100 Olympic Athletes in Three Days
Last week I was assigned to photograph the portrait sessions the Olympic Team Media Summit in Dallas. Over 100 athletes came through the photo area over a three day period.
On average, each photographer would have 4 minutes or less with each athlete. Each athlete rotated through 10 stations throughout the photo area not including the USA TODAY or Sports Illustrated photo areas. Each media outlet in the main room received a 10×12 foot station to set up their lights and backdrop. Each station varied in lighting style and backdrops.
Here is what the scene looked like:
Some of the stations in use at the same time. Athletes rotate from station to station.
Getty Images photographer Ronald Martinez photographs diver Troy Dumais in the Getty photo station
On the second day, one of my lights quit working and about an hour later a second light failed. Luckily a coworker of mine was photographing Michelle Obama's visit to the Summit, and I borrowed one of her lights to finish the shoot. For the most part my setup included two or three lights, sometimes using a reflector sometimes not. I used a variety of lenses but for the most part I used a 24-70mm, 70 -200mm and a 90mm tilt shift lens.
Here are a few of my favorite photos from the event, and you can check out a slideshow of some of the athletes here.

ED & Express Care Consolidation
Henry Ford Allegiance Health has consolidated its Emergency and Express Care services into one centralized location within the hospital's Emergency Department. Below are answers to some frequently asked questions regarding the consolidation. You can also learn more here.
Henry Ford Allegiance Express Care will be closed as of Friday, April 18.
We always strive to provide the right care in the right place, and in the most cost efficient manner. We believe our new model accomplishes these goals more effectively than our current practices. Whether a patient needs emergency care or urgent care, they will come to the same place. Our clinical team will then determine which level of care is required. If urgent care is needed, patients will have the advantage of receiving care through the streamlined process we have set up specifically for this purpose. This model best serves patients, and because it is more efficient, it also allows the hospital to care for the patient more cost effectively.
- Around the clock care is available, every day of the week, including holidays
- Pharmacy located directly across the Emergency Department lobby
- Expanded, experienced care team of physicians, nurses and support staff
- Free valet parking available, as well as a secure, covered visitor parking deck
- Streamlined admittance to the hospital when needed
- Pediatricians available for consultations around the clock
Yes. You can come to the Emergency Department with sprains, broken bones, flu symptoms, ear aches, and all other reasons you'd come in for non-emergency care.
We understand you want to move through your care experience as quickly as possible when you are sick or injured. We have added rooms and streamlined our processes to reduce wait times while still ensuring all patients receive safe, prompt and appropriate care.
Billing is tied to the location of care. Currently, patients being seen at Express care are billed differently than those at the Emergency Department. Under the new plan, patients will be seen in the Emergency Department, receive the benefit of 24/7/365 access to care, an on-site pharmacy, and secure/covered parking. They will be billed for an Emergency Department visit. This means patients may have higher co-pays for these enhanced services. The amount a specific patient will pay depends on their insurance provider, so it's not possible to provide exact numbers.
We are open and ready to help you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays.
Free valet parking is available at the Emergency Department entrance during these hours:
- Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 10 p.m.
- Saturday & Sunday, 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Free, secure, covered parking is also available 24 hours a day in the Visitor Parking Deck next to the Emergency Department.
Our approach in these situations is to find positions for the staff being affected. This change will affect approximately 20 staff members. We have a sufficient number of openings in the organization for each of these people to have an opportunity to be redeployed.

Product Description
First Data™ FD-20 Contactless Reader
The First Data FD-20 Contactless Reader easily connects via a USB port to any of the terminals in the First Data proprietary line. It does not require a separate power supply and is field upgradeable to accept new payment types and enhancements as they become available in the future. When a customer holds a contactless equipped card in front of the FD-20 reader, the card is recognized and the transaction is initiated. Lights and audible signals let the customer and the merchant know when the process is successful. The merchant enters the amount of the sale and delivers a receipt, often with no signature required. The customer maintains possession of the card at all times.
Merchants are looking for ways to capitalize on the rapid growth of PIN based transactions at the point-of sale (POS) while allowing customers to settle in their preferred payment type. They also want to offer rapid payment processing to reduce customer wait times while maintaining a high level of security.
The First Data FD-20 Contactless Reader processes electronic payments using the latest technology. The customer simply waves or taps their card in front of an FD-20 reader that is connected to a POS terminal, and the transaction is initiated. By adding the FD-20 reader to an existing First Data proprietary terminal, merchants can support the acceptance of contactless cards, key fobs and other specially equipped devices, with the same end result and security of a standard card swiped transaction. This technology can significantly increase transaction speed and is ideal for businesses with a high volume of low dollar transactions.

Maryland adds 1,500 jobs in March; seventh straight month of job growth
BALTIMORE, MD (April 20, 2012) - Data released today by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor
Statistics shows that Maryland added 1,500 jobs in March. March was the seventh straight month of job
growth; additionally, February's preliminary gain of 8,000 jobs was revised upward to 9,600 jobs. Although
more people entered the workforce in March, Maryland's unemployment rate increased slightly to 6.6
percent as workforce growth outpaced employment gains. Maryland's unemployment rate remains 1.6 percentage
points better than the national rate of 8.2 percent.
"March was another strong month in Maryland's recovery, but we must remain focused to accelerate our
job growth and recover the jobs that were lost during the national economic recession," said Maryland
Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez. "Our investments in skills development and education are helping
to put more Marylanders back to work, but we need to continue to cultivate our best-in-the-nation workforce."
March's growth was focused in the private sector, which rose by 4,200 jobs over-the-month. Maryland
added jobs in three major sectors: 2,700 in Trade, Transportation, Warehousing, and Utilities; 3,400 in
Professional and Business Services; and 3,000 in Leisure and Hospitality. Since March 2011, Maryland has

"There are flags and banners, piles of books, trunks and chests, rolls of carpet, jewel boxes, documents and maps, more steps than Odessa ever dreamed of, stone walls that certainly do a prison make, sticks of sealing wax, a backdrop after Veronese and bronze doors a long way after Ghiberti; and 70 times 7 pillars without a drop of wisdom." Bernard Levin, Daily Express 11.10.61 Opening Date: 10 October 1961, Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

Halleck: EMA runs smoothly
June 21, 2013
LISBON —Columbiana County Commissioner Chairman Mike Halleck said everything is operating smoothly at the county Emergency Management Agency, despite what a Glenmoor firefighter might thin....
Halleck's arrogance never ceases to amaze me. Instead of all this butt kissing he is doing on behalf of Newbold, he better start worrying about the people (taxpayers) that pays for (both) of those salaries! HIS and Newbold's. Halleck needs reminded...he is expendable and his position is not PERMANENT. His actions were quite clear and UNETHICAL. It was a PERSONAL AGENDA CHOICE. It had absolutely NOTHING to do with the best interest of this county and the public. Halleck you owe quite a few qualified applicants an apology for wasting their time with that "FRAUD" you called hiring process. Your lucky you haven't had a lawsuit slapped on your rear end for violating hiring practices.
Halleck you have insulted a lot of good people and that was UNCALLED FOR.

Supreme Court overturns alfalfa seed ruling
Supreme Court overturns alfalfa seed ruling
On a 7 to 1 vote, the United States Supreme Court reversed an earlier ruling by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer that placed a nationwide injunction on planting Roundup Ready Alfalfa and barring USDA from partially deregulating Roundup Ready Alfalfa pending the court ordered environmental review.
"The good news is this decision reinforces USDA APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) as the science-based agency with sole authority on regulation, deregulation, and permitting of biotech traits in crop plants," says Forage Genetics International president Mark McCaslin, whose organization helped develop Roundup Ready Alfalfa.
While the Supreme Court reversed the injunction, it is not full steam ahead. "What was appealed was the injunction on future plantings. That original injunction prevented USDA-APHIS from partially deregulating Roundup Ready Alfalfa while they conducted the EIS (Environmental Impact Statement)," said McCaslin. "That is where the Supreme Court said that the U.S. District Court overstepped . . . by telling USDA-APHIS what they could and could not do. This decision supports the concept that these types of decisions should be based on sound science. With the injunction going away, it is now in USDA's domain again," says McCaslin. "Hopefully, we are in the home stretch with the final EIS and a permanent deregulation situation."
Short term, it is up to APHIS if they want to allow permit or partial deregulation which would allow producers to plant Roundup Ready Alfalfa. "While the Supreme Court decision is good news, it is not a green light to go out and buy and plant Roundup Ready Alfalfa seed. There would have to be action by USDA-APHIS for that," says McCaslin. Long-term, this Supreme Court decision is not only a positive for this case involving Roundup Ready Alfalfa but what it implies for biotech traits and crops in general.

Transitional care provides a less intensive atmosphere for babies and families as they prepare for discharge from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This type of care focuses on the closer bonding between parents and baby and helps the parents cope with their infant's physical, emotional and developmental needs. The nursing staff works closely with the parents through the day of discharge.
Every infant continues to be on a cardiac monitor 24 hours a day. Most babies remain in the Isolette® (incubator) until they reach a weight of three pounds and five ounces and steady weight gain is demonstrated. The progression from gavage feedings (in which the infant is fed by a tube that is passed through the nostrils or mouth directly into the stomach) to nipple feedings may seem slow to new parents. Greater intake must be achieved gradually to accommodate the baby's small digestive capacity.
Some infants may still require respiratory support through oxygen therapy or intravenous (IV) therapy for supplemental nutrition or the administration of medicine. This does not interfere with the baby's progress toward discharge. If needed, the neonatologist and nurses instruct parents in continuing oxygen therapy at home, in the use of a home apnea (arrested breathing) monitor, and in gavage tube feedings. When an infant is hospitalized for a long period of time, a developmental specialist may aid the nurses in performing special stimulation exercises to promote developmental progress. The nurses teach the parents how to do these exercises at home.
Each baby's discharge date depends on individual circumstances. For premature babies, the major criteria for discharge include steady weight gain, taking all feedings by nipple, maintenance of a stable body temperature in an open crib, and normal breathing. Most premature babies weigh four and a half to five pounds at discharge. Generally, a premature infant will be ready for discharge around the time of the original due date of birth. On discharge, the pediatrician, who has been kept informed of the baby's condition throughout the hospital stay, will assume responsibility for continued care. Babies needing special equipment, such as oxygen, home monitoring and gavage feeding, will be followed by the neonatologist as outpatients.

The Lancaster Industrial Development Agency on Tuesday approved $484,000 in tax breaks for a $12.6 million senior housing complex, the latest in a growing number of senior-housing projects requesting – and receiving – incentives.
The Lancaster IDA board rejected the developer's request for property tax breaks, but other local IDAs have or soon will approve similar incentive packages that include payment-in-lieu-of-taxes, or PILOT, agreements.
Beside Lancaster, the Erie County IDA and the Hamburg IDA have approved tax breaks for senior housing, and the Amherst IDA is set to vote next week on a similar request.
"We felt the benefit to the town and the benefit to the community would justify a sales tax and mortgage-recording tax [break]," said Lancaster Supervisor Dino J. Fudoli, chairman of the town IDA.
The developers and IDA members say the projects fill a need for senior housing, spur construction activity and generate tax revenue and jobs.
But critics say the developers are pitting one community against another in an effort to extract the biggest possible subsidy, and they contend these housing developments don't stimulate the economy.
"In my opinion, this is corporate welfare, and the town should play no part in it," Lancaster resident Lee Chowaniec said at Tuesday's hearing.
The Lancaster IDA voted Tuesday to approve $472,500 in sales tax exemptions and $11,400 in exemptions for the mortgage-recording tax for the project by Regent Cos. to build a 112-unit complex at 4845 Transit Road for seniors who want to live independently.
The development is the third phase of Regent's Park Lane Apartments, though the apartments in the first two phases aren't age-restricted, and the newest phase will create three full-time jobs, IDA records show.
Two residents questioned Regent's application at Tuesday's IDA meeting, with Chowaniec asking Regent's David A. Huck whether he would build the development without the requested tax breaks.
"I can't answer that," Huck replied.
Huck said a market study showed demand for senior housing in the area, but Regent needs the IDA incentives to make the project work financially because other senior-housing developments have received subsidies.
Fudoli said the developer will pay considerable property taxes and a $140,000 town parks and recreation fee. The IDA board approved the tax breaks by a 6-1 vote, with Depew Mayor Steven P. Hoffman voting no.
IDA regulations allow for subsidies for senior-citizen housing, and various local IDAs have approved tax breaks for these developments.
The Hamburg IDA, for example, last month issued a seven-year PILOT worth an estimated $1 million for a $10 million, 96-unit senior housing complex at 4543 Camp Road in the town, according to Michael J. Bartlett, the IDA's executive director.
Developer David Manko will pay an estimated $300,000 in property taxes over the course of the PILOT, an amount higher than the level of property taxes the property would have generated if it remained vacant land, Bartlett told The News.
The first phase in Manko's Villages of Mission Hills senior housing complex – an $11 million, 112-unit development – in 2010 received a 10-year PILOT, which is estimated to save $1.3 million over the life of the agreement while Manko pays $1 million in property taxes.
Both phases also received mortgage-recording and sales tax breaks and fill a need for this housing in the town, Bartlett said. "It allows people who have lived in Hamburg, and who want to stay in the community, to have that option," he said.
Andrew J. Rudnick, president and CEO of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership and chairman of the county IDA's policy committee, said IDAs shouldn't grant tax breaks for market-rate senior housing unless there is a "measurable" public benefit as an extenuating circumstance.
"We're skeptical about any residential projects, including senior housing," Rudnick said.
But requests keep coming. The Amherst IDA next week will hold a public hearing on an application from developers Paul Bliss and Michael Connors for incentives for a $8.9 million, 99-unit senior-housing project at Maple and Ayer roads.
The Amherst IDA could approve $1.3 million in tax breaks for the project, including an estimated $920,700 over the seven-year PILOT given to other senior housing projects in Amherst, said David Mingoia, the IDA's deputy director.
The project would pay an estimated $538,296 in property taxes over the seven years – far more than the $54,950 the land would generate if it remained vacant, Mingoia added.
And another developer, Calamar, has applied to the Lancaster IDA for a PILOT and breaks on the mortgage-recording and sales taxes for a $13.6 million, 120-unit senior-housing complex, built on eight acres at Juniper Boulevard and Walden Avenue, once Juniper is extended to Walden, IDA records show.
Also Tuesday, the Lancaster IDA approved:
• $52,500 in sales tax exemptions for $800,000 in building renovations and new equipment for the Garden Place Hotel at 6615 Transit Road.
• $89,688 in sales tax exemptions for $1.1 million in renovations and equipment at PCB Piezontronics, a manufacturer of sensors and sensor accessories that employs 671 at its facility at 3425 Walden.

A Ferry-Fillmore District police officer has been suspended and the chief of the district demoted in an investigation over allegations that the officer stole a dog from a Herman Street residence earlier this month, authorities said today.
Officer Kristen W. Russo allegedly went to the dog owner's home on Herman at 6 p.m. Dec. 3 and demanded the dog from its owner, according to police sources. The owner first filed a complaint with the police department but later went to an area media outlet to complain about the theft and authorities began an investigation.
District Chief Michelle Kubala apparently heard of the incident, prior to the complaint, but took no action to rectify it and was demoted to her civil service rank of lieutenant earlier this week and has been assigned to the Northwest District, police sources said this morning.
Police spokesman Michael J. DeGeorge said the case remains under investigation by the department's Internal Affairs Division.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Enveloped viruses have tremendous potential in a number of areas of great interest to biotech and pharma firms including gene therapy and vaccination. These viruses, which are typically produced in animal cell systems, are expensive to manufacture. As a result, identification of biological and engineering strategies that are scalable and cost-effective is paramount.
The complexity of these biological products, however, has hampered the development of robust downstream processes. Obtaining the quantities required for preclinical and clinical trials is especially problematic.The labile lipid membrane layer that harbors glycoproteins (often critical for infection) over the viral capsid further increases the challenges inherent in the processing of enveloped viruses.
Scientists at the Animal Cell Technology Unit of iBET are using recombinant baculoviruses as an enveloped virus model in order to optimize this task. Recombinant baculoviruses are widely used as vectors for the production of recombinant proteins in insect cells.
More recently, these viruses have been gaining attention due to their emerging potential as gene-therapy vehicles. While their production in stirred bioreactors using insect cells is an established technology, downstream processing of baculoviruses intended for clinical applications is only now catching up.
This article will discuss the evaluation of a scalable, cost-effective downstream processing strategy based on membrane processes. The evaluated process comprised three steps—depth filtration, ultra/diafiltration, and membrane sorption (Figure 1). Global recovery yields of clinical-grade material reached 40% using easy-to-scale-up technologies under cGMP guidelines. This constituted a major advance over the much lower yield and nonscalable purification process based on ultracentrifugation density gradients (Figure 1).
Sf9 insect cells were grown in Sf900-II serum-free medium (Life Technologies) to produce recombinant baculoviruses. The cells were infected at a multiplicity of infection of 0.1 infective viruses per viable cell. The bioreaction was carried out using a disposable Wavebag bioreactor with a 25 L working volume. When the cell viability was lowered to about 50%, the bulk was harvested and submitted to clarification.
Microfiltration was integrated downstream of the bioreactor via a series of two depth filters—3 µm and 0.65 µm (Sartorius Stedim Biotech). This strategy prevented baculoviruses from becoming entrapped within the pores (these rod-shaped viruses are up to 400 nm long). Tangential flow ultrafiltration and diafiltration were performed using 100 kDa Hydrosart cassettes (Sartorius Stedim Biotech). An ÄKTAcrossflow (GE Healthcare) system was used to operate each filtration step autonomously. The bulk was concentrated sixfold and diafiltered with two diafiltration volumes continuously.
Anion-exchange membrane chromatography was used as a capture step utilizing Sartobind D membrane adsorber units (Sartorius Stedim Biotech). Elution profiles were generated with increasing NaCl concentrations up to 1.5 M NaCl on PBS equilibration buffer supplemented with Ca2+ and Mg2+. An ÄKTAexplorer 100 system (GE Healthcare) was used to perform these runs.
Virus genomes were quantitated using real-time PCR (Roche Diagnostics) tracing a specific baculovirus gene and by TCID50 end-point dilution assay using Sf9 cells (infective titer).
Zeta-potential was measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) using Zetasizer NanoZS (Malvern Instruments) in low conductivity phosphate buffers; hydrodynamic size assessment was carried out using the same equipment. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) experiments were performed with the Biacore 2000 system (GE Healthcare) at 25ºC, using 20 mM phosphate buffers with the specified NaCl supplementation and at a constant pH 6.8. Sensors chips were derivatized with diethylaminoethyl weak anion-exchanger ligand.

Did you forget something? No matter how decorated Plushenko's career has been, he only won one Olympic Gold medal in his life and likely won't see another one. Yet, in the Sochi 2014 Olympics in Russia, Patrick Chan will have the chance of winning not one but two Olympic Gold medals in one shot, thus, surpassing what Plushenko has ever achieved. You know what's even better? If Plushenko take part in the Sochi Olympics and compete, he will contribute to Russia's potential defeat in both events. I can't think of anything more vindicating than this. And please don't try to convince us that "he can afford anything". Russia only cares about the number of Olympic Gold medals, not even the number of total medals - only the Gold medal matter. He didn't come back to finish last or just for the pleasure of skating in his homeland Olympics, that's simply not true. Many people suspected he pulled out of the Euros this year because he couldn't stand finishing the Championship without being the #1. Did the fall in the SP aggravate his injury or has it been there for a while? Then, if the fall didn't aggravate his injury, why did he pull out citing an injury that was already there before he began the SP? The answer is obvious except it's not PC to openly state it. And if Patrick Chan doesn't win it, so what? You can't have everything in life, let the best skater win!
You know, I think it's rather a compliment to Plushy that people are still so in awe of him that they resort to making unfounded accusations of bad sportsmanship.
Glad that the thread is getting longer and longer,
Shouldn't people be more interested in talking about those new champions, instead of spending so much time of their life on the old, irrelevant, never-gonna-medal Plushenko?
Oh Plushy, you definitely filled a void in some posters' hearts and minds!

What if Patrick Chan doesn't win? Well...I'll be very pissed because he deserves that medal, could you tell him to get a REAL coach, please?????

There is way too much Russia is the boss of Plushenko in your post. Like he is being used by Russia to win golds and that is his only purpose but he can quit. He actually doesn't want to. He is doing Russia a favor by staying. I can't imagine it not being personal desire to compete in Russia.
He fell on an axel after 9 years and it is on the news . For the zero quad, iffy lutz and and the disaster of an axel, Plush sold his program after the fall and got a SO in Euros. In an extremely well skated event only 3 skaters got SO. The other ones were Joubert and Fernandez.
He has withdrawn from sp two times in his whole carreer if i remember correct..TO get things straight, PLushenko would not have been banned by ISU had he appeared in AOI shows. It is not the same situation as Wolrds 2010 when RF didnt saction him to shows so ISU had to ban him and I m pretty sure RF would not do the same now. And he has a case. He came and participated in the tournament. Aliona and Robin came to EUros 2012 last year, did one practice, withdrew to injury and one week after did the whole tour of AOI, pretty much what Plushenko has done now. RF with press release is supporting him in his decision to withdraw from Euros.
Euros was a low point for sure and sets him back from what he started building in SHeffield but I am to agree with BC, he affords to have a bad showing, and honestly I think even if he could skate a decent Lp he would withdraw because at this point of his career he doesnt care for a top ten finish at euros.But if he earns his spot for Oly team and is sort of healthy he will be there regardless of the medals. He could afforded to skip RN , EUros and whatever the last couple of seasons but he doesnt.
1. one Olympic Gold medal is just "only one". Not worthy of being deemed as some achievement.
This statement comes form a Canadian uber which representatives never won any Gold Medal in Men. Neither in Ladies. Won one in Dances in Vancouver. And one in Pairs in SLC the history of that win I won't even bother to describe.
Isn't it the reason of all the bitterness that we can observe here regarding the value of "only one OGM"? I believe it is.
2. Plus is a malingerer and a liar because he withdrew due to the back injury when "in fact" he was afraid to lose . When others withdraw due to stomach flu or somesuch, or don't even bother to attend the events at all without any injury or health reason (PChan at 4CC 2013), it's all happening in good faith and in no way due to the fear to lose to rivals. Of course neither mums/nuns/whoever nor even the current buddies in tabloids never told the person making such claims who bad it is to libel.
3. Plu fell after 9 years and it made the news. The said persona clearly doesn't have a clue what an irony it is to hear such statement from a Chan uber.
The point is there is nothing NEW in wallylutz's rants. Just a flow of boring poison, envy and greed with which Plu fans are having deal with since his Vancover comeback. Yawn. I am still waiting for something more creative.

UPDATE: there's a new WPF Designer video showing the features added to Beta 2 now available. Check it out and let us know what you think!Mark Wilson-Thomas demonstrates the new Styling and design features in the WPF and Silverlight Designer in Visual Studio 2010.
Oops, something didn't work.
Hi Jeni
1. At present we have nothing to announce on localization support in the WPF and Silverlight designer
2. Event handler hookup has now been supported in the Properties Window (on the Events tab) since Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1, and this will be retained in Visual Studio 2010. Is that what you meant or was it something else?
3. No, it's not XAML only in Visual Studio 2010! See the earier video in this series http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Continuum/WPF4Beta1DesignerForms/ for full details of the updated data binding experience - we now have a full RAD drag-and-drop creation experience, and a detailed property browser driven experience for creating and updating databinding statements. So definitley not a XAML code only experience (although if you prefer to use XAML we have also added markup extension intellisense for that scenario to make it easier)
4. We currently do not expect to provide an item template editor in the Visual Studio 2010 release, but it is definitley possible to use the databinding picker to configure many item templates' bindings, so you don't need to type the markup extensions yourself by hand. We would like to add a visual item template editor in a future release beyond Visual Studio 2010.
5. In Visual Studio 2010, User Controls are added automatically to the toolbox just as they are in Windows Forms designer, so you can drag-drop. It has always been possible (since Visual Studio 2008 released) to add custom controls to the toolbox using the Choose Items dialog box.
If you need further clarifications, just ask!
Hi, I'm the guy behind xamltemplates.net I was wondering what are the controls that are shipped with WPF 4 (besides the ones in previous versions), because I wan't to create packages also for the next version and whan't to include styles for all the controls, thanks.

Deeper Learning
Rahil Maharaj explains that attending Impact Academy, an Envision school in Hayward, California, has given him the inspiration and confidence to work hard and apply to college.0
To succeed in the future, students will need to know how to analyze, collaborate, and innovate. But our education system isn't as effective at preparing them as it could be.0
"In order to prepare young people to do the jobs computers cannot do we must re-focus our education system around one objective: giving students the foundational skills in problem-solving and communication that computers don't have." – Frank Levy and Richard J. Murnane, "Dancing with Robots".0
Tiana Alba-Lanzerin prepares to present her graduation portfolio at an Envision high school in San Francisco, California. She'll be the first member of her family to go to college.0
"The essence of deeper learning is changing the manner in which we work with young people." –Superintendent James Merrill, Virginia Beach Public Schools0
"I provide students with the opportunity to ask the questions, to become captains of their own learning." –Teacher Brian Bailey, Ambassador School of Global Leadership in Los Angeles, California.0
Imagine that you walk into an eighth-grade classroom. A small group of students is cheering. They've just discovered that the wind turbine they designed and built can produce almost six volts of electricity. One of the students tells you that she had to redesign the blades several times, but that she persevered. Why? She was inspired by a book she read in English class about a man in Malawi who built a wind turbine out of scrap metal to bring electricity to his village.
Another student shows you a map she made in social studies class. She points to the areas where wind turbines could be built in her state. And she proudly presents her persuasive essay, which explains the value of wind turbines. Watch a video about these students and their classmates…
These students are engaged in deeper learning—which means they are using their knowledge and skills in a way that prepares them for real life.
They are mastering core academic content, like reading, writing, math, and science, while learning how to think critically, collaborate, communicate effectively, direct their own learning, and believe in themselves (known as an "academic mindset").
Why is deeper learning important?
All students deserve the opportunity to succeed in a rapidly changing world. When today's students graduate, they'll be asked to fill the jobs of tomorrow—ones we can't even imagine now. And they'll be asked to tackle problems like climate change and global poverty. Unfortunately, too many schools in the United States aren't preparing the next generation to meet these challenges and seize these opportunities. A global report card, called the 2009 Programme for International Student Assessment, shows that American students—including those from middle-class backgrounds—are lagging far behind their international peers in key subjects. Deeper learning is the key to making our schools more effective, because it prepares students to succeed in the world they will find after school, whatever that might look like.
How does deeper learning prepare students?
Deeper learning focuses our students' education on developing the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in college, careers, and life. And it empowers them to better engage with their communities. A survey of Fortune 500 companies and a separate survey of members of the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) both show that the most valuable skills an employee can have in the twenty-first century are teamwork, problem solving, and oral communication—all focal points of deeper learning. Students who have mastered the full deeper learning skill set—including an academic mindset and self-directed learning—can set their own goals, adapt to new circumstances, accept feedback, and persevere.
Is deeper learning really possible for all students?
Absolutely. A growing number of effective teachers, schools, and districts are proving that they can bring deeper learning to all students, from any background or neighborhood. And those students are going on to thrive in college. The new Common Core State Standards are an enormous step forward toward the goal of preparing all students for the future: across forty-five states, schools are now required to teach skills like critical thinking and effective communication alongside core academic content. And, new ways to evaluate a student's knowledge and skills, like graduation portfolios, more effective assessments, and in-class activities, will help us see results. Parents and teachers around the country are working toward the goal that every school prepares every student—those in underserved communities and those in areas with more resources—for the twenty-first century.
What is the Hewlett Foundation's role?
At the Hewlett Foundation, we are committed to the goal that all U.S. students will receive an excellent education centered on deeper learning. To reach that objective we are focused on:
- Working with states and districts to improve learning goals, so that schools can focus on teaching deeper learning and have the support they need to reach that goal.
- Designing new ways to evaluate what students know and can do, with high school graduation projects, more effective assessments, and in-class activities to measure their deeper learning knowledge and skills.
- Providing educators with the ongoing training and tools to teach deeper learning effectively.
- Continuously sharing best practices from exemplary schools as well as research on how students benefit from deeper learning.
Where can I find more resources on deeper learning?
Our partners provide great examples of deeper learning in action.

What pre-wedding jitters?
Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul looked ecstatic in a photo he Tweeted Friday featuring bride-to-be Lauren Parsekian puckering up for a sultry kiss with her grinning groom just in time for their rehearsal dinner at West Hollywood's Chateau Marmont.
The bow tie-clad actor captioned the pic, "And so it begins. #mrmrspaul." The duo are set to wed in southern California and celebrated last weekend as well with some party time in Vegas.
Paul wore a grey tux and sported a big smile on his face for the entire evening, notes an eyewitness, which included numerous speeches and bursts of applause. At the end of the dinner, Paul was taking pictures with many of his 50-plus guests – even selfies! – as his joyful-looking mom, Darla Sturtevant, looked on.
Yet it was clear that despite the supportive crowd, he and Parsekian, who stunned in a long black halter dress with gold embroidery, were ultimately focused on one another. In the moment of the night, the duo stole away from their guests briefly and shared some private time together on the patio under the archway. They slow-danced together without music and shared several very long, passionate kisses. Then, it was back to take care of their guests like good hosts to finish up speeches for the night.
Paul's passionate display is no surprise, considering the praise he's heaped upon his fiancée since their engagement in Paris a year and a half ago.
"She's the greatest woman that has ever existed," he told GQ last year. "No offense to other women on this planet, but she is hands down the best."
For her part, Parsekian reportedly called Paul "the most amazing man on the planet" when she announced their engagement to friends last year.

We are less than five weeks from the election. Not only are there local and national races that will affect the future of this country, there will be a School Improvement Referendum on the ballot in Berkeley County.
If you have attended one of the events to hear Berkeley County School District representatives speak about the referendum, you know the facts, and the facts are appalling.
We have children who are eating lunch at 10 a.m. and being forced to sit outside to do so, regardless of the weather, due to lack of space in lunch rooms.
How is a child who eats lunch at 10 a.m. supposed to have enough energy to participate in after-school sports at 3 p.m. on an empty stomach?
We have arts teachers who are literally wheeling their supplies from classroom to classroom, finding available space to hold class, because band and art rooms have been turned into much-needed classroom space.
We have schools built for 600-700 students, that now house 1,300 students, putting the overflow in trailers on the campus.
We have children waiting at bus stops at 5:30 a.m. because there are no schools anywhere near their neighborhoods.
One of the biggest reasons that people move to this area, boosting our local economy by buying houses here, shopping in our local stores, and eating in our local restaurants is our school system. Berkeley County School District is known as one of the best school systems in the state.
No one wants their property taxes raised, myself included. But the tradeoff here is a better quality of life for us all. Not passing this will cost each of us more than we would save in taxes.
Whether this referendum passes will have a huge impact on this community for years to come.
It will affect the prices we can all expect to ask for homes we might want to sell.
The technology upgrades alone will affect whether our children are prepared for what the future holds, and whether companies will locate here because of an available well-trained workforce.
Our children deserve better, our teachers and administrators deserve better, and we in Berkeley County deserve better. This goes far beyond bricks and mortar.
For just 11 cents per day on the value of a $100,000 home starting in 2014, and an additional 11 cents per day starting in 2017, we can make this happen. What can you get today for 11 cents, or even 22 cents for that matter?
In this case, you can improve the lives of our students, teachers, administrators, and you and me.
Less than a quarter a day.
I'd call that quite a bargain indeed.

Town of Tonawanda
A Buffalo News carrier is being credited for alerting authorities to a potentially dangerous natural gas leak she encountered on a Town of Tonawanda delivery route early last Sunday morning.
Town police were called at 3:22 a.m. by the carrier, who reported smelling natural gas when she stepped onto the front porch of a home off Delaware Avenue, south of Sheridan Drive. Police and Kenmore firefighters responded, and a crew from National Fuel reportedly determined the odor was caused by a leak in a gas meter nearby.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the carrier for ... caring and concern in not just walking away from a potentially dangerous situation," Brian H. Newbigging of Athol Springs, the homeowner's son, wrote in an e-mailed Letter to the Editor.
"Good work on this delivery person's part," added Lt. Nicholas A. Bado, a police department spokesman. "You wish more people would be proactive."

• The Town of Tonawanda Zoning Board of Appeals meets at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in council chambers at the municipal building.
• Winterfest Weekend 2013 begins with a dance Thursday night in the Senior Center and runs through next Monday, Jan. 21, with a variety of activities held indoors and out. Visit www.tonawanda.ny.us for the full Winterfest schedule.
• Friday is the deadline to register for "Stuffed – A Ravioli Workshop" to be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Jan. 22 at YWCA Tonawandas, 49 Tremont St., North Tonawanda. The fee is $15, plus there's an $8 supply fee to be paid to the instructor the night of the class. Call 692-5580 to register.
