Under the Wizard's Spell
Episode 26
A couple of roller-bladers terrorize vendors in Central Park, with Spidey showing up to quickly deal with them. Medusa appears and confirms to the police that Spidey had nothing to do with the trouble. She claims to be just visiting
New York, but has in fact been invited there by the Wizard, her old partner in crime. She refuses his offer of joining forces with him, so the Wizard gives Medusa an unremoveable collar forcing her to work for him. Together, they steal cylinders of the rare metal element Niobium, so that the Wizard can construct an anti-gravity weapon. Medusa accidentally drops two of the cylinders and the alarm is sounded. Spidey turns up and fights the Wizard, not believing that Medusa is working for him again. The Wizard escapes, leaving Spider-Man and Medusa to talk about her problems, but she quickly leaves to join up with the Wizard before he does anything to the collar. The Wizard asks Medusa to steal an electronic component from a military base with Spider-Man's help. She tricks Spidey into helping her steal the component, and the Wizard then traps Spidey in his lair. Trapped in a room with increasingly hot walls, Spidey has to figure a way out in time to stop the Wizard and his anti-gravity weapon.

Penny forces Shaw to experiment on himself, to give him the powers of Spider-Man. She allows him to receive an overdose of radiation in addition to an injection of spider D.N.A., and instead of simply duplicating Spidey's powers, he is turned into a half-human half-spider mutation known as Nephilia. He goes to the Bugle and webs up Jameson to get Spider-Man's attention. Soon, the two spider-men meet up and clash with each other. Spidey finds out that a nephilia spider was sold to Dr. Shaw and goes to his workplace, where he finds a message from Penny telling him that she and Nephilia will rob an armored shipment of gold.

EDIT: When loading it into Dolphin it shows the French Flag, not Euro Flag??? When it installed, it said install OK. However, when it next said Press any button, nothing happened, so I rebooted va the power button. The game appeared as a channel, but when I loaded, all I got was a black screen. Then I did something really stupid, I moved it onto my SD card. Question1 - What should I remove from the SD card to be able to access it again? Question2 - Can I remove Bannerbomb and how? Question3 - Why did I get a blank screen? EDIT: Doesn't seem to load in Dolphin either Question4 - If I format my SD card, and replace all the files, will I have to reinstall anything?

Doctors hail breakthrough in Parkinson's disease which means patients could walk again
Parkinson's disease victims could walk again following a major breakthrough.
Stem cells could be the key in fighting Parkinson's disease
Researchers have shown in trials with rats that mobility can be restored despite the degenerative condition.
The experiments have not yet been caried out on humans but scientists say the results show a "measurable and repeatable basis" to fight Parkinson's disease.
The Mexican study, led by Jorge Aceves Ruiz, uses stem cells to generate a type of nerve cells known as dopaminergic.
They reactivate the production of dopamine, which promotes movement, in the brain of rats with symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Our treatment has allowed us to recover these motor impairments
The ailment is a major degenerative disease of the body's motor system.
About 127,000 people in Britain suffer the illness.
Doctor Ruiz, of the Centre for Research and Advanced Studies in Mexico City said: "Our treatment has allowed us to recover these motor impairments.
"The recovery of neurons is the first thing that gets damaged by Parkinson's disease."
Until 35 years ago, virtually nothing was known about the part of the brain called the basal ganglia, where the nerve cells that make and release neurotransmitters such as dopamine are located.

As the Vancouver Whitecaps hope to cobble together a rare away result on Saturday against the San Jose Earthquakes (10:30 pm ET; MLS Live), the club's head coach is conscious of how important it is at this stage of the season to manage his players correctly.
Over a difficult eight-game spell, the 'Caps have picked up just a solitary win, and that means Martin Rennie must figure out which players need a bit of a wake-up call and which need to settle down and play with a little less tension.
"Some players, you need to make sure they're not too tight, and others you need to make sure they're focused enough," the Scottish tactician told reporters after a training session at the University of British Columbia on Thursday. "It's a balancing act with all the different players, but...the most important thing is to just focus on playing the game.
"I think sometimes people get too caught up in what point of the season it is and where the points stand and things like that. At the end of the day, the way you make things better is by winning, and the way you win is by playing well. To play well, you have to be focused on what you're doing rather than what happens if you make a mistake."
Still, if the consequences of failure this weekend do sneak into the minds of certain players, it will be with good cause.
Going into the match, Vancouver are tied on points with San Jose with 37, five back of the Portland Timbers who hold the fifth and final Western Conference MLS Cup playoff spot.
But the 'Caps will take solace in the return of two of their more talented attacking players to the squad. Winger Russell Teibert and striker Darren Mattocks were unavailable for last weekend's 3-1 defeat to FC Dallas due to international call ups and will offer some attacking flexibility for Rennie.
"It's nice for us to have them back," Rennie said. "We have to sit down and think about it. Obviously we have a lot of choices to even pick the 18 for this week, so that's a good problem to have and something we need to think through."
Teibert in particular could prove key – he was the third prong in what for a time was one of the league's most deadly attacking units, acting as the set-up man for Camilo and Kenny Miller from the right side of midfield.
"There was a spell where Russell was creating a lot of chances and Kenny and Camilo were scoring a lot of goals," Rennie said. "We're hoping to get back to that kind of form, and we'll have to decide. Last game Daigo [Kobayashi] played very well as well and scored a goal and created some good opportunities, so it's nice for us to have that quality."
Center back Brad Rusin also returned to training this week and is "in contention" for the Earthquakes match after suffering a severe ankle sprain during a match against the Portland Timbers on August 3. Kobayashi ended up breaking some bones in his wrist after running into goalkeeper Joe Cannon during Tuesday's training session, but is available to play this weekend, albeit with a cast.
Martin MacMahon covers the Vancouver Whitecaps for MLSsoccer.com.

America's Young Science Minds Go Unfunded/
Dots| After reading Dr Jeffrey Sachs slam to pieces the Wall Street Journal for their writing on the environment, we come to their support. After our testimonial that Sachs is also sounding like a member of Congress, finger-wagging on a publication not half-bad in our playbook, we learn some new science from WSJ.
In the last 30 years, there's been a huge swing in the age of science researcher being funded in the US. Bright young minds aren't getting the cash — when young minds are most open to scientific discovery. We call that a problem and hope WSJ comes up with some answers. America has enough problems to bear without finding out that we're only funding tried and true brains to deliver our future. Read on Aging Minds & Break-though Science | Duo or Not?

Introduction: The Use of Simulation Models in Policy Analysis
This is an introduction to the papers in this special issue on policy simulations discussing a variety of simulation models. Simulation modelling has become a powerful tool to analyse hypothetical and actual policy changes. This issue contains analyses based on both macro- and micro-level data. The two macroeconomic-oriented papers use a General Equilibrium modelling approach with macro-level data, whereas the three microeconomic-oriented papers use detailed micro-level data to replicate the actual financial situation of Australian/New Zealand households by applying the rules and formulas of the taxation and social security systems for a sample representing the population. This introduction also provides an overview of directions for extension and improvement of models and the development of new types of models, combining micro and macro aspects.

The opinions expressed herein are my own personal opinions and do not represent
my employer's view in any way.
Wolfmother have released a new album 'New Moon Rising' & are about to embark on their biggest tour to date, a national series with legends AC/DC, so they are currently playing a handful of headline dates around the country with the new lineup.
I managed to secure (last minute) a pass to shoot their show at Enmore Theatre.
In other news, after my first outdoor promo shoot with local band The Amenta, they are now using one of the shots for their latest tour flyer as you can see below.
Keep an eye out in a few weeks for hopefully new shots of Megadeth, touring with Slayer in October.
Been Awhile since an entry, nothing much has been on the calendar in the last few months...last night however seen a return to the pit to shoot the popstar Katy Perry who sold out her Enmore Theatre show in Sydney.
Lighting was quite nice, with spotlights on the girl the entire time, however I'm restricted to slow glass at the moment - so I tried to make the best of the situation.
Check out the shots below.

[more photos: fosscomm2011 album]
A great fosscomm (the annual greek foss community conference) took place the weekend at Patra. The organizing committee did a fantastic job, but besides that it seems that the Greek FOSS community has raised the bar of quality holding some very interesting technical presentations.
I think that fosscomm has transformed from a communities presentation conference to a community gathering/socializing/ideas-exchanging conference. And that's a good thing.
I had the chance to hold or participate on five presentations/workshops. Three of them were part of the Fedora Activity Day.
And for those of you who attended fosscomm and wondering what was this strange qr code all over the conference places... just scan it ;)

We had to go in for a recheck of Danny's throat since his white blood cell count on Friday was low and he hadn't gotten any better since Tuesday. His glands are still really swollen and his throat was so sore last night that he cried for 2 hours before the motrin finally kicked in and he could go to sleep. The ped did a CBC today and his ANC was 1.9. That isn't horrible but it isn't good. His lymphocytes were well within the normal range so it shouldn't be a virus either. His neutrophils were the low ones (that is the ANC) but he tested negative for strep. If he isn't better by Monday our weight check will turn into another appointment.
He did do really well with the blood draw at the ped's office. I wasn't sure how he would do since they weren't really used to drawing vein sticks there but I requested a vein stick instead of a finger stick because he gets bloodwork at least once a month and I didn't him to start getting scared of it becuase they hurt his finger. The first two nurses that came in didn't really know what they were doing. They were trying to keep the tourequet loose so they wouldn't hurt Danny but they had it so loose that after a certain amount of pressure built up in his vein the tourequet didn't work at all. She kept saying his veins are rolling, etc. I knew what the problem was and told them but they just ignored me. They said they would have to get another nurse because they wouldn't be able to get the vein with it rolling. Fine with me. The other nurse came in and said, "The tournequet must have been too loose because it is a nice big vein." ROFL!!!! Next time maybe they will listen to me.
She said that she is there everyday but Wed so next time we have to get a stick just to ask for her....also fine by me.
anyway. Danny is under a mild quarantiene to try and keep him healthy(aka stay away from anyone with even allergy symptoms incase they have another infection). We will see how he does by Monday and I will update then if not sooner.
Thanks .:Shortcake:. for my GREAT siggy.

Appendix C - Policy Injection in Enterprise Library
Policy injection describes a method for inserting code between the client and an object that the client uses, in order to change the behavior of the target object without requiring any changes to that object, or to the client. The general design pattern for this technique is called interception, and has become popular through the Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) paradigm.
Interception has been a feature of Enterprise Library since version 3.0. In previous releases of Enterprise Library, the manner in which you would enable interception was through the Policy Injection Application Block, which exposed static facades you could use to create wrapped instances of target objects and the appropriate proxy through which the client can access that target object.
The block also contained a series of call handlers that are inserted into the interception pipeline, between the client and the target object. The same set of call handlers as used in previous versions of Enterprise Library is included in version 5.0, though they are no longer located in the Policy Injection block (which is provided mainly for backwards compatibility with existing applications).
In version 5.0 of Enterprise Library, the recommended approach for implementing policy injection is through the Unity interception mechanism. This supports several different techniques for implementing interception, including the creation of derived classes rather than remoting proxies, and it has much less impact on application performance.
The call handlers you use with the Unity interception mechanism can instantiate application blocks, allowing you to apply the capabilities of the blocks for managing crosscutting concerns for the target object. The capabilities provided by interception and policy injection through Unity and Enterprise Library allow you to:
- Add validation capabilities by using the validation handler. This call handler uses the Validation block to validate the values passed in parameters to the target object. This is a useful approach to circumvent the limitations within the Validation block, which cannot validate parameters of method calls except in specific scenarios such as in Windows® Communication Foundation (WCF) applications.
- Add logging capabilities to objects by using the logging handler. This call handler uses the Logging block to generate log entries and write them to configured target sources.
- Add exception handling capabilities by using the exception handling handler. This call handler uses the Exception Handling block to implement a consistent strategy for handling, replacing, wrapping, and logging exceptions.
- Add authorization capabilities to objects by using the authorization handler. This call handler uses the Security block to check if the caller has the required permission to execute each call.
- Add performance measurement capabilities by using the performance counter handler. This call handler updates Windows® performance counters with each call, allowing you to measure performance and monitor target object activity.
- Add custom behavior to objects by creating your own interception call handlers.
For more information about using Unity to implement interception, see the documentation installed with Enterprise Library or available online at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=188874.
For information on how to use the Policy Injection block facade, see the documentation for version 4.1 of Enterprise Library on MSDN® at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd139982.aspx.

Frank, 42, fell to the floor at home, a victim of cardiac arrest. His brother Jim
immediately put his ear to Frank�s chest. Frank was not breathing; his heart had stopped
beating. Jim called 911. Because he had been trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR), he began chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth airflow in the hope of restoring
his brother�s heartbeat and breathing. Tragically, Jim�s heroic efforts failed; Frank died.
CPR has been successful in restarting the hearts of people who have been electrically
shocked, badly injured, or frozen, but in few instances has CPR revived victims of
cardiac arrest. More than 250,000 people die from cardiac arrest each year in the United
States. Yet CPR, despite its high failure rate, is used by physicians and rescue workers to
preserve blood flow during cardiac arrest. If the mechanisms of blood flow in the body
during CPR were better understood, it might be possible to improve CPR techniques and
save more lives of victims of cardiac arrest.
At least that�s the hope of Eunok Jung, a staff
member in ORNL�s Computational Mathematics
Group in the Computer Science and Mathematics
Division. She recently made a scientific discovery
using computational simulation that is relevant to
CPR. Jung conducted a computational experiment
using a two-dimensional model of a rigid,
doughnut-shaped tube in which one section is
replaced with a flexible membrane. Earlier
laboratory experiments with this fluid-filled device,
which has no valves, showed that periodic
squeezing of the membrane caused a flow in one
Jung discovered that changing the frequency of
squeezing affects not only the amount of flow but
also its direction. She verified this computational
finding with a physical apparatus. �I found that you
can reverse the flow of fluid simply by varying the frequency of squeezing,� she says. If
during CPR the heart valves remain open, then Jung�s results suggest that the rate of chest
compression may partly de-termine whether CPR saves a life. Jung�s exper-iment took
advantage of her Ph.D. dissertation adviser�s �immersed boundary method� for modeling
the fluid dynamics of the heart. Her adviser is Dr. Charles Peskin, one of the world�s
leading experts on heart modeling, who works at New York University�s Courant
Whether Jung�s finding is important to CPR may
depend on which theory about the heart is correct. The
cardiac compression theory says that during CPR the
heart works as an active pump. The thoracic
compression theory argues that during CPR the heart
is a passive conduit that allows blood to flow, as a
result of periodic squeezing and pressure differences
between the external and internal thoracic
compartments, through the cardiac valves that remain
open (valveless pumping). Some imaging data suggest
that the valves of the heart remain open during CPR in some instances. �These results,�
Jung says, �imply that the heart is acting at least partly as a passive conduit.�
To better understand blood flow in the heart during CPR and valveless pumping in
general, Jung proposes to computationally simulate the heart as a pump, as a passive
conduit, and as a combination of both. She will write a number of differential equations to
create three-dimensional heart models, coupled with a lumped parameter circuit model
(ordinary differential equations) of the circulation that can be solved using ORNL�s
supercom-puters. Her results could get at the heart of how to modify CPR techniques to
save victims of cardiac arrest.
