After being teased back in January, the rugged Casio WSD-F10 Android Wear smartwatch will finally hit store shelves and our wrists later this month.
Casio today announced that the WSD-F10 will launch on March 25 at a price of $500. It'll be available from Amazon, the Google Store, REI, and Shop Casio in Red, Green, Black, and Orange color options.
As a refresher, the Casio WSD-F10 has a ruggedized body that can be submerged in water up to 50 meters (164 feet) deep. It also meets military standard MIL-STD-810 to withstand shock, vibration, sand, dust, extreme temperatures, and more. The WSD-F10 also features a 1.32-inch 320x300 round display on which it can show apps like ViewRanger GPS for accessing location data and navigation guidance, MyRadar to track the weather, and tools for displaying a compass and the altitude.
Finally, the WSD-F10 includes Timepiece Mode, which can extend your battery life to more than 1 month by disabling smartphone communication and turning the display monochrome.
There aren't a ton of rugged Android Wear smartwatches, but today the Casio WSD-F10 did get some competition with Nixon's The Mission. Nixon's watch won't be launching until some time later in 2016, though, so Casio will beat its ruggedized competition to the market and to consumers' wrists.
Do you have any interest in a rugged smartwatch like the Casio WSD-F10?

Land market responses to economic recession in Kerala
Land is a key factor for any economic activity. Land market transactions play an important role in the process of economic transformation and development. Conventionally land is considered as a factor of production. However, it is increasingly becoming a speculative asset. It is in this context that this paper examines the impact of economic slowdown in land market. The study is carried out in the nine villages under the jurisdiction of the sub registrar Office, Badiadka of Kasaragod district in Kerala. Data on 967 land transactions were gathered. The trends in land market indicators like size of area, number of sales and price of land are subjected for a detailed analysis. The study also made a comparative analysis of the timing of economic recession in different sectors. Only in stock market the reflections of economic crisis was felt much earlier than any other sector. This may be because of the fact that stock market is interlinked to global economic conditions. Within the domestic sectors, economic recession has been visible in the land market earlier than other sectors. This was reflected in all the key variables that were examined in relation to land. This may be because of the fact that land market transactions involve huge amount of investments and a higher level of risk. A close watch at the movements in key variables such as number of sales, area transacted and land prices would therefore help along way in shaping right policies to ward off economic fluctuations.

AvizorMedia's curator insight, November 21, 2016 11:06 AM
El mundo cambia, sobre todo desde que las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) irrumpieron con fuerza en nuestro presente. A la vez, la educación es uno de los pilares fundamentales de nuestra sociedad. En este campo la tecnología también se aplicó, desde hace diez años. Os dejamos con algunas REFLEXIONES sobre la educación, la tecnología y los cambios que se han producido.
Luis Otero's curator insight, November 29, 2016 8:17 AM
Me parece un buen resumen de la evolución de los planteamientos sobre la introducións delas TIcs en la educación. Me quedo con dos aspectos: la modificación del hardware y el software (el paso del sobremesa al móvil) y la preocupación por la equidad en la implementación.

An important ebook on the creeping privatisation and private control of state schools.
Kevin Morrison's curator insight, November 13, 2016 1:16 PM
I don't know if it is unfortunate, or even wrong to privatize our kids education? I do know that our government has done a horrible job and there defiantly needs to be change in how it works and the changes need to begin at the very core of this critical system. I think government oversight needs to be maintained, but at a level that only monitors it in order to maintain an unbiased and financially fair system of returns.
There is talk like educating our kids should not be for profit and I disagree. If we take a ten thousand foot view, we all profit from a well educated system because we all can agree that today's youths are tomorrows leaders. All we need to do is look around at how poorly our kids are being educated today to see they are not getting an education that is going to make them competitive in today's markets (let alone tomorrow's), and in fact if we keep going with the public education system as it is today we are going to be in big trouble in the not so distant future!
When you look at the 2016 election, far to many kids have been swooned by a bias education system and don't have the critical thinking knowledge to form a solid opinion and instead have been showing how unruly they can be supporting a candidate that is without a question the worst possible choice. We ask ourselves why and the answer is because they are not being taught how to be critical thinkers, government and history classes no longer teach anything that is bad or ugly for fear it may have negative impact on the kids. So they are not learning how fragile our form of government is and don't understand how easy it would be to destroy it.
I believe if k-12 was for profit we could better control what is taught and how it is taught. We could get rid of this ignorant idea that we have to treat our youth with kid gloves because they are too sensitive and might develop some mental dysfunction. The fact is with no kid left behind and this mantra that we need to protect them from the world around them by not allowing them to express themselves freely and without bias. We are creating a system where care dogs, pizza, play dough and crayons are mandatory to help them cope.

Good to see more articles about the role of VR and AR in the classroom.
Ben's curator insight, June 22, 2016 7:00 PM
Virtual Reality in the classroom provides a higher level of interactivity in subjects where both the instructor and students can explore together. With the rise in gaming VR devices, they are now becoming cheaper and more powerful in their capabilities. They can be used to explore geography, teach math, and even discover historic sites. This is coupled with their ability to create motivation through educational VR games.

Since I haven't been blogging this week, I haven't had a chance to mention that crit partner and pal Georgiana awarded me the "Rockin' Girl Blogger" award! I'm passing this along to Ruth, Amy Jane, Rachel, and Jennifer!
If you've been keeping up with my Word Count page, you'll know that I finished my proposal for the RANSOME TRILOGY and sent it off to my agent last night.
Since I'm now completely immersed in Regency Romance mode, I thought I'd share some of my favorite YouTube videos with you today!
Congratulations on finishing your proposal, Kaye. Have a good weekend.
*clears throat*
I'd like to thank all the people who've ever read my blog who helped make this "Rockin' Girl Blogger" award possible — especially Kaye. I'm honored… 😛
Congrats on finishing the proposal!
Major congrats on getting Ransome out! When it comes out, it's going to be my first Regency. I just have to know more about him after all you've talked about him and Julia.
oops. Just saw this again. (Guess I thought wrong to think I commented.)
Thanks for the recognition!

Darklady's Confessional
Goodbye Dr. Gonzo, Hello Dr. Klady
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
— Hunter S. Thompson
Underground photographer Charles Gatewood (http://www.charlesgatewood.com) once called me "a gonzo sex writer" ala Hunter S. Thompson's style of journalism. Although Charles has met the man in question and can thus draw upon personal experience when making the comparison, I have never had the questionable honor and can thus only conjecture. Since Thompson decided to check out of life recently by perforating his brain with a bullet, I'm unlikely to find out via one-on-one interactions what our personal similarities or differences were. Fortunately, he left a body of literature behind which is probably more important to study than the man himself.
Like the worlds that Darklady frequents, Hunter's written world bears a strong resemblance to our own, although somehow his city of Las Vegas and his Nixon campaign are even more interesting, more confusing, and more straightforward than we remember them being – in part, because he is a character in the stories that he tells. His world is populated with bigger and more-confident-than-life characters that make bold decisions and take wild chances. His words seem so honest, so direct, so uncensored – yet as he admitted, had he truly told the complete truth, many people including himself would have wound up "rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle." Although some of Hunter's favorite things, namely guns, drugs, alcohol, and insanity don't figure as prominently in my world, I've certainly had my brushes with them all – and have kept some information, however tasty, to myself. Some of it for now, some of it forever.
I don't know what motivated Hunter S. Thompson to begin writing. I don't know what aspect of his weirdness compelled him to turn pro. If he was at all like me, he didn't have much of a choice. When it gets to a certain point, you either give in to your weirdness and find a way to make it work for you or you go crazy fighting against it. I suppose some of us go crazy making it work for us, but at least we're something that we love – or are obsessed by. For me it's always been asking questions, pointing out the obvious, and looking instead of turning away. Instead of shutting up, I've felt compelled to speak up and to write, in part because I absolutely believe that other people wonder about the same weird shit that I do, they just need someone else to come back with a report.
As much as I've loved books during my life, I've loved the well-told first person account at least as much. That appears to be something Thompson and I share in common. We put ourselves in the middle of stories about things other people often know little about, let alone lived in the middle of. Like he told the Associated Press once, "Fiction is based on reality unless you're a fairy-tale artist. You have to get your knowledge of life from somewhere. You have to know the material you're writing about before you alter it."
Personally, I'd rather get my knowledge of life from sexual, sensual, and emotional intimacy than from guns, drugs, alcohol, or insanity. Although, sometimes mixing them together can be pretty exciting. Or so I've read.

Zane Cerpina (Latvia/Norway) and Stahl Stenslie (Norway) – "The Anthropocene Cookbook: eating for our future survival" is an artistic research project investigating the future cuisine of humanity. To sustain the soon-to-be 9 billion global population we cannot count on Mother Earth's resources anymore. The project investigates the most innovative and speculative ideas about new foods within the field of arts, design, science & technology. The project rethinks our eating traditions, challenges food taboos and proposes new recipes for survival in times of dark-ecological catastrophes. This takes form of public food experiments, cooking performances and discussion evenings. The culmination of the project is an Anthropocene Feast in the Cesis Livonian castle where the public will be invited to eat the last dragon on the earth. Website: www.anthropocenecookbook.wordpress.com
Zane Cerpina (Norway/Latvia) is Oslo based artist working within emerging media, focusing on the themes of the Anthropocene, environmental awareness, ecological criticism, interactive technologies and embodied experiences. She is educated in Art and Technology at Aalborg University, Denmark. She has recently presented her works and taken part in such international venues as ISEA (CA, HK), Dark Ecology (NO/RU), STRAND (RS), Bodily Matters Conference (UK). In 2016 she was an artist in residence at V2, Institute for Unstable Media in Rotterdam, Netherlands. She works as creative manager at PNEK (Production Network for Electronic Art, Norway) and an editor and designer at EE Experimental Emerging Art Norway – online and printed magazine. Read more about the artist – www.bezane.net
Stahl Stenslie (Norway) works as an artist, curator and researcher specializing in experimental media art, interactive experiences and disruptive technologies. His artworks challenge ordinary ways of perceiving the world. Through his practice he asks the questions we tend to avoid – or where the answers lie in the shadows of existence. Keywords of his practice are somaesthetics, unstable media, transgression and numinousness. The technological focus in his works is on the art of the recently possible – such as i) panhaptic communication on Smartphones, ii) somatic and immersive soundspaces, and iii) open source, disruptive design for disruptive technologies such as low cost 3D print of functional and lethal art-weaponry. He has a PhD on Touch and Technologies from The School of Architecture and Design, Oslo, Norway. Currently he is teaching and researching as a professor in Art & Technology at Aalborg University, Denmark. Read more about the artist – www.stenslie.net

Dick & Lottie
Written by:Alan Ayckbourn
In a windswept country house, a family of artistic failures find themselves under suspicion of murder by an inept detective as he tries to solve who killed the head of the family. But what hope has he when the killer might be different every night?
In this classic Ayckbourn thriller anyone could be the murderer. Spot the clues and see if you can work out who killed Mortimer Chalke. With three possible murderers at the scene, each night will be different as it could be any one of them.
Huddersfield favourites Dick & Lottie present the last of Alan Ayckbourn's Plays of Chance, making them the only company to have performed all three of Ayckbourn's chance plays back to back.

Murrieta schools Superintendent Stan Scheer is a finalist for a job in Colorado.
Scheer was one of four candidatesinterviewed Wednesday to serve as interim superintendent for theThompson School Districtin Loveland.
Scheer, 69, was superintendent in Littleton, Colo., beforecoming to Murrietain April 2006.
Murrieta Valley Unified School DistrictTrustee Ken Dickson said Scheer informed the school board that he was pursuing the position in Colorado.
"He made us aware of that possibility," Dickson said Thursday. "Stan came to us and promised three to five years and he's served over six."
Scheer declined comment when reached via email.
In a letter applying for the position, Scheer wrote, "I am interested in this position because many of my family members live in close proximity to the Loveland area, and they are encouraging my wife and me to return to the Fort Range area."
According to the Reporter-Heraldnewspaper in Loveland, each candidate went through three sets of interviews, talking with the school board and two groups of community members.
The newspaper reported that the teams liked Scheer's wealth of experience in education, but members were concerned about his ability to form collaborative relationships.
Thompson School District is the 16th-largest school district in Colorado, encompassing 362 square miles.
The pre-K through 12th-grade district has 12 early childhood centers, 20 elementary schools, five middle schools, five high schools and two charter schools. District enrollment for the 2011-12 school year was 15,667 students.
Murrieta Valley Unified has 21 schools and had a 2011-12 enrollment of 22,763.
The Thompson school board could make an appointment on Wednesday, with an anticipated start date of Sept. 10, according to the district.
The interim superintendent would be paid $135,000 through June 30, the Reporter-Herald reported.
Scheer's salary in Murrieta is around $170,000.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Golf carts are not complex vehicles. You can build your own if you have the right materials and skills. You will need to build a frame, add and tune the motor system, then finish with interior design. The process may take several days. Since you are building your cart for comfort and mobility it is recommended you pay particular attention to the type of engine you choose and the seats construction.
Lay the 4-by-6 feet stainless steel board on the ground. Cut 1/2 foot into the frame perpendicular to the side at the 1-foot mark on each of the back of the longer sides. Make a similar cut one foot closer to the front and connect the cuts so there are two holes for the wheels. Make another two similar holes 1/2 foot from the front to 1 1/2 foot feet from the front.
Bend the 1-by-2 foot stainless steel boards 1/2 foot from both sides by 90 degrees with the metal bender. Cut the sides of the boards halfway across from one side so each side consists of two flaps. Cut at the bend until one flap from each side is removed. Make sure that the two flaps are on the same side. Use the metal bender to bend the top board without sides down by 90 degrees to form a wheel cover. Weld the sides together. Do this to each of the four boards and weld each of them to the holes on the frame board along the edges. Drill a hole roughly at the center of the wheel covers at the sides for the drive shaft to go through. Cut a 1-inch wide slot around 1-foot tall in the right rear wheel cover facing the front.
Disassemble the old motorcycle engine by unbolting all the necessary bolts with wrenches and hex keys and lay it near the rear right wheel cover. Feed the chain from the motor through the slot in the wheel cover and pull it so that it is 1/2 inch past the hole you drilled. Hold the motor down and mark where the bolts go downwards. Drill through the bottom frame and bolt the motor on. Remove the gas tank from the motorcycle and bolt it down right next to the engine. Route the gas line from the engine to the gas tank and connect it. Connect the motor to the controller from the motorcycle and route the accelerator and starter to the front of the vehicle.
Insert the geared drive shaft through the two holes in the back wheel covers. Hook the chain over the shaft and pull it tight against the gears. Install the wheels on to the ends of the shafts.
Weld the 2-foot stainless steel pole one foot from the front of the frame at the center. Drill a 2-inch hole at the top of the pole and push the lever arm through with the steering wheel at the top. Insert the drive shaft through the front two holes and install the wheels at the ends. Connect the wheels to the lever arm with symmetrical connecting rods.
Weld the 2-by-4 board to the front vertically. Weld the two 2-by-6 boards to the sides vertically, perpendicular to both the front board and the bottom boards. Use the metal cutter to cut a 2-foot section one foot from the front to three feet from the front to serve as entrances and exits to the vehicle. Weld the 2-by-4 board to the back vertically to form the back. Weld the 4-by-4 board to the back of the vehicle. Cut a 2-by-1 inch hole right above the gas tank and the motor. Bolt the hinges to the bottom of the back of the seat and bolt the hinges right behind the hole. This allows you to flip the seats back to fill the gas tank.
Drill and bolt the accelerator pedal six inches from the center of the vehicle and connect the accelerator line to the pedal. Route the starter along the floor and up the front board to the space right behind the steering wheel. Install a brake disk at the front wheels and route it to the space left of the accelerator pedal. Plug the lines into the brake pedal. Drill holes as needed and bolt the brake pedal into the floor of the vehicle.
Drill a 2-inch hole in each of the vehicle's back corners. Weld two of the 4-feet poles into the holes. Weld the other two poles at the front corners vertically. Tie the canvas roof to the top of the poles to serve as a roof of the cart. Weld one of the 1-by-4 boards to the back of the vehicle vertically and the other two at the sides connecting to it. This serves as a cargo space.

Perfect ending to a wonderful series
- Katheryne
Best book of the 3! Great ending to Trilogy.
Actually yes, I never listen to books twice!
Its similar to hunger games, divergent, and maze runner. However, its completely different. Same genre but on a different playing field.
Way to many to limit them to a favorite. I loved the ending. Some times trilogy leave open endings but this one loops you full circle.
the last few hours, I was tempted to get some cliff notes on it because I couldn't wait for the end. However, I remained patient and it was worth every second of the wait.
Great read! Highly recommend!

There are interesting parallels between the Madoff Ponzi scheme and the US and many other social security schemes internationally.
As the huge bulging demographic that is the Baby Boomers retire, the smaller demographic of the next generation will have to fund their retirement. As the Baby Boomers retire and begin to withdraw their funds from Social Security system there will be huge redemptions from US and other stock markets as much of their retirement funds are invested in the stock markets.
Irish writer, Joe O'Connor has been appearing on RTE's (Ireland's national radio station – akin to the BBC) Drivetime in recent weeks with some witty, inspiring and uplifting poetry.
His beautiful words perfectly illustrate how an economic recession or depression is not the 'end of the world' rather simply a period of slower or declining economic growth.
While O'Connor's poem is focused on
On a day when I read that rising fuel prices are putting a pinch on the world's oldest profession
I am reminded that there are commentators that can laugh in the face of creeping economic woes.
It might not be morning again in America but Bush hopes to wake up the economy via his Economic Stimulus Act of 2008. The stimulant – pumping more than $152 billion (or about 1% GDP) into the economy via tax rebate cheques – will start arriving in the mailboxes of Americans over the next three weeks.
The plans proponents are optimistic. Hank Paulson, in a speech confirming that no second stimulus plan would be undertaken, believes the $152-billion stimulus plan could create 500,000 jobs this year. Americans would have to spend their money wisely for the plan to have maximum impact. But what if the rebate money is already owed?

EPA drops Mesabi Nugget's variance for sulfate
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has reached a settlement with the Fond du Lac and Grand Portage Bands of Lake Superior Chippewa and two environmental groups over the sulfate discharge form the Mesabi Nugget iron nugget plant near Hoyt lakes.
The EPA has agreed to drop its approval of a variance for how much sulfate and other three pollutants that Mesabi Nugget can discharge into Second Creek, which flows into the Partridge River, a tributary to the St. Louis River.
Sulfate is a major issue in Minnesota now as scientists and state regulatory officials are working to decide how much is too much for wild rice. The pollutants include bicarbonates, salts or solids like sulfate, and conductivity.
The state's current standard is 10 parts per million for sulfate in waters that grow wild rice. But the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency gave Mesabi Nugget a variance from the state limit nearly 16 times the current state standard, opponents claimed. The EPA agreed to the state PCA variance in December 2012.
The variance allowed Mesabi Nugget to store its discharge during the summer growing season then release it after the growing season. But environmental groups said that sulfate released at any time can affect wild rice because they build up in the ecosystem.
The Fond du Lac and Grand Portage Bands, Water Legacy and Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy filed suit against the EPA in federal court last year, saying the variance should not have been allowed.
On Monday, the EPA and U.S. Attorney's office filed notice in Federal District Court in Minnesota that they would remand the decision to approve variance. Federal Judge Jack Tunheim is expected to agree to the terms. In the court document filed Monday the EPA said it will formally dismiss the variance as soon as the judge's decision is made.
The EPA's decision "sends a strong message that established environmental standards that protect clean air and water need to be enforced," said Scott Strand, MCEA executive director, in a statement.
It's not clear whether Mesabi Nugget will try to seek a new variance or somehow move to reduce the pollutants in question. Jeff Hansen, Mesabi Nugget plant manager, did not immediately return a request to comment on the EPA decision.
Karen Diver, Fond du Lac tribal chairwoman, said the EPA's decision marks a landmark in defense of the Clean Water Act. Environmental and tribal groups have been saying that mining discharges often contain too much sulfate and that the state and federal governments have been neglecting to enforce existing state rules.
Diver noted the iron nugget plant is in the heart of the 1854 ceded territory where the Ojibwe have the right to hunt, fish and gather.
"This case was about maintaining the wildlife habitat and wild rice waters where band members exercise their treaty rights, and about protecting the rights of all Minnesotans to have clean water," Diver said in a statement. "We are glad to see the EPA step up and admit it made a mistake in granting this variance."
Grand Portage Chairman Norman Deschampe said the bands "are not against mining, and support the jobs mining brings to the Iron Range. But industry has to comply with the Clean Water Act and acknowledge our treaty rights."
Paula Maccabee, attorney for Water Legacy, said the variance made a special regulation for one company that defied state law.
With this agreement "the EPA is they are willing to hold everyone to the rules," Maccabee told the News Tribune. "I don't know whether Mesabi Nugget will try to get a new variance and a new permit or if they will use reverse osmosis or something else to reduce the pollution they are discharging."
PCA officials Monday afternoon said they hadn't yet see a copy of the agreement and could not comment. They also noted they have not been part of the court negotiations.
Mesabi Nugget opened in early 2010 producing a 97 percent pure iron nugget that can be made directly into steel, a refinement of the basic taconite iron ore concentrate common on the Iron Range. The $300 million facility has had issues ramping up to full production. It's employed about 90 people.
In late January, officials for Indiana-based Steel Dynamics Inc., majority owner of Mesabi Nugget, said Mesabi Nugget lost money in the fourth quarter while producing about 30,000 tons of nuggets per month used in Steel Dynamic's electric hearth steelmaking furnaces. Company officials told industry analysts that the viability of the plant's operations were being evaluated.

Mons, Belgium – I-MOVIX is pleased to announce that the X10 technology can now be used in two new configuration setups, increasing the flexibility of the ultra slow motion systems it designs and commercializes.
Indeed, X10 Spine, the Ultra Slow Motion broadcast integration developed by I-MOVIX, can now be combined with the Vision Research Miro 320 high-speed camera. With X10 Spine, as it was already the case with the Phantom vSeries, the Vision Research Miro high-speed camera remains independent of the I-MOVIX broadcast integration, which adds operational flexibility to allow additional non-broadcast use with the high-speed camera.
This unique high-speed replay mode system operates at frame rates up to 1,500 FPS in 1920x1080 resolution (and up to 3,000 FPS in 1280x720) with instant replay, and offers the major advances provided by the X10 technology both in terms of hardware and software.
Last but not least, X10 Spine used with the Miro high-speed camera from Vision Research is now compatible with the solutions designed by Polecam, the world leader in specialist jibs, minicams, and accessories, enhancing the portability, the speed and the flexibility of the I-MOVIX broadcast integration solution for sports production where the camera needs to be closer to the action.
About I-MOVIX
I-MOVIX (www.i-movix.com) is the worldwide leader in extreme slow motion for sports broadcast (from 75 to over 5,000 FPS). The company's products are the first true ultra-slow motion systems, fully integrated for broadcast use, offering the unprecedented combination of very high frame rates and instant replay, or continuous streaming. The technology has applications in live sports and other live TV productions, as well as in commercials, documentaries, feature films, and scientific R&D.

Before considering how genuine or how close your internet friends really are, you might think about whether that matters.
One of the benchmarks for friendship networks was set by Robin Dunbar, evolutionary anthropologist, Oxford University, in his book, How many friends does one person need? Dunbar theorises that there is a "cognitive limit to the number of individuals with whom any one person can maintain stable relationships" – sometimes known as Dunbar's number. He suggests that the primate brain can only manage 150 genuine social relationships.
Interestingly, Facebook's owners say that the average number of friends for any member is currently around 130, which is not far from Dunbar's number.
On the other hand, there are contacts both below and above that number with whom we may not have a close relationship, but because of social networking tools we are able to keep in touch much more easily than ever before. What is more, those "weak ties" may have more influence on our lives than you may think. One researcher who has found that weak ties of friendship are highly influential on your opinions and your success is Mark Granovetter (American Journal of Sociology, vol 78). For instance, people get jobs through opportunities passed on by affiliates rather than close friends.
Other studies demonstrate how use of Facebook increases self-esteem. Nicole Ellison of Michigan State University is quoted in the New Scientist, 10 July 2010, as saying "Support and affirmation for weak ties could be the explanation" (Ellison et al, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, Vol. 12).
Perhaps not surprisingly, there is growing evidence that making friends and influencing people go hand-in-hand online. The New Scientist article quotes a series of experiments by Michael Kearns of the University of Philadelphia, which found that well-connected individuals had greater influence than others in the online world in the same way as their counterparts do in the real world. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, vol 106, p.1347). The researchers found that those with up to 300 friends were rated increasingly popular, but after that number their social appeal seemed to drop away.
Facebook's own research backs up the correlation between subjective well-being and web-based social networking. Contentment from site use is attributed by Sandy Pentland of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to the ability of networkers to broadcast to their social group which, he says, means we may never feel alone.
So you can now get back to those emails and respond positively to those sent from members of Linked-in asking you to join their network. But when you get to 300, you can relax, or unfriend some as you befriend others. Good networking.

Love and Hate it
This app is exactly what I'm looking for but whenever I'm in a restaurant and trying to use it it freezes constantly. I can't get into it so I have to get completely out of it and delete it every single time. I paid for this app and I deleted it a number of times and re-added it. All I want is for it to work because it's the one I want. I like the look a lot but it needs to work. I have the iPhone 6+ with the latest Apple update. Apps need to keep up.

Get the free version of this app. It works perfectly, while the paid app freezes all the time and the "Show last bill" function of the paid app does not work properly. It always shows the last bill, even when that setting of the app is turned off.
I contacted Hana Mobile about these problems and they never responded.

This app keeps freezing. The only way to make it work is to delete the app and reinstall it. Please fix the bug, I would suggest waiting until this bug get fixed before purchasing the app. There is no worst feeling that trying to use this app to split a bill and it freezes.

As a prequel to their fifth album, genre moulding legends Senser release 'Biting Rhymes', a compilation of early Hip Hop covers, paying homage to the artists who inspired their pioneering rap-rock-metal sound.
In their words: "This is really the music most of us grew up with, to us early Hip Hop represents a parallel with folk music, or the Jazz standards - a lexicon of classics"
Senser have chosen songs from what can be considered the second wave of Hip Hop by Public Enemy, Eric B and Rakim, LL Cool J, and The Beastie Boys to rework in their own style. The versions vary from faithful renditions to explorations of the original themes and certain live recordings that date from early in their career.
To celebrate the release, Senser have made their killer cover of Public Enemy's Channel Zero, featuring a sample of Angel of Death by thrash legends Slayer, available to stream. Check it out here - http://soundcloud.com/senserband/senser-channel-zero
They continue: "It's fairly common knowledge that the track Channel Zero by Public Enemy was very important to us; a big catalyst in showing the possibilities. We've been playing it since the start"
As is to be expected they kick, groove, stomp and languish in a magnificently ill style that befits the originals. A head nodding tribute to the masters.
Track listing:
1 - Dont Believe The Hype (Public Enemy)
2 - Follow The Leader (Eric B and Rakim)
3 - Mama Said Knock You Out (LL Cool J)
4 - Channel Zero (Public Enemy feat. Slayer)
5 - Looking Down The Barrel Of A Gun (The Beastie Boys)

Morgan Spurlock Wants Your Story for That Comic-Con Doc
by Ethan Anderton
May 27, 2010
Source: MorganSpurlock.com
Just last week, we finally heard some official details on a forthcoming documentary from director Morgan Spurlock and producers Joss Whedon, Stan Lee and Harry Knowles that will follow seven comic fans from around the world as they embark on their journey to the annual Comic-Con convention in San Diego this July. Comic-Con Episode Four: A Fan's Hope, as it will be titled, now has a request to the masses from Spurlock's own website looking for Comic-Con stories from fans just like you guys. So here's your big chance to get on the big screen and showcase your geeky, dorky and/or nerdy obsessions for the entire world to see.
Spurlock's call to action seems much more like an open casting call, and while there's a chance this could be an opportunity to become one of the seven subjects that he and his crew will follow leading up to Comic-Con in July, he may also just be looking for a wide spread of fans for talking heads bits in the doc. Here you go:
Are you headed to 2010 Comic-Con International in San Diego? Do you die for diehard fandom? Do you pine over Chris Pine, other Captain Kirks, or have firsthand knowledge of who is the ultimate Bruce Wayne? Is your Lost Ark a long lost collectible, an original edition comic book, a need to be the first in line at a sneak peak of Green Lantern, or to understand the ultimate and undeniable power of Akira?! Are you the original inspiration for comic book guy? Is your collection the biggest? Is your costume the best? Is your dream to propose to your girlfriend and give her the one ring to rule them all? Are you an artist who is showing off your work? A vendor showing off your amazing collection?
If you are any of these things, then we want to hear your story.
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, producer Thomas Tull, comic book icon Stan Lee, writer/producer Joss Whedon, and film guru Harry Knowles have joined together to bring audiences the feature-length documentary "Comic-Con Episode Four: A Fan's Hope" – a documentary celebration of all things con-tastic!
We are looking to cast original, eccentric, funny, touching, and mildly obsessive people that will capture the excitement, enthusiasm, joy, and passion of comic book, anime, sci-fi, and fantasy lovers everywhere.
If Comic-Con International will be the highlight of your year and you have a story to share about your passion, let us know. Join the fellowship, take part in this epic documentary, and write us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Include your name, phone number, a picture, and tell us your story.
So there you have it. If you count yourself among the crazy fans that Spurlock is looking for, then you know what to do. And if any of you guys out there happen to get selected for the documentary, be sure to drop us a line about your experiences! You just may become a part of the news instead of reading it. In the meantime, join us in getting pumped for Comic-Con later this summer, as we've only got a few more months to go and it looks like this might be a great year. We'll be there in force with our entire staff, including Tim from The Golden Briefcase, so be on the lookout for the FS.net folks down in San Diego. Good luck and see you soon!

Protein tyrosine phosphatases have only recently become the focus of attention in the search for novel drug targets despite the fact that they play vital roles in numerous cellular processes and are implicated in many human diseases. The hematopoietic protein tyrosine phosphatase (HePTP) is often found dysregulated in preleukemic myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) as well as in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Physiological substrates of HePTP include the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) ERK1/2 and p38. Specific modulators of HePTP catalytic activity will be useful for elucidating mechanisms of MAPK regulation in hematopietic cells and may also provide treatments for hematopoietic malignancies such as AML. Here, we report the discovery of phenoxyacetic acids as inhibitors of HePTP. Structure−activity relationship analysis and in silico docking studies reveal the molecular basis of HePTP inhibition by these compounds. We also show that these compounds are able to penetrate cell membranes and inhibit HePTP in human T lymphocytes.
Tyrosine phosphorylation is a key mechanism of signal transduction. Abnormalities in protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) have been reported in many inherited or acquired human diseases.1−5 Although the development of specific PTP inhibitors remains a challenging task, many successful examples of targeting PTPs in cellulo and in vivo have been reported, providing opportunities for new treatment strategies for cancer, as well as metabolic and immunological diseases.3−7
Hematopoietic protein tyrosine phosphatase (HePTP)8,9 is a 38 kDa enzyme expressed in bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, and all myeloid and lymphoid lineages and cell lines.8−10 The HePTP gene ptpn7 is located on chromosome 1q3211 and is often duplicated in bone marrow cells from patients with myelodysplastic syndrome,12,13 which is characterized by disturbed hematopoiesis and an increased risk of acute leukemia. Amplification and overexpression of HePTP were also reported in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).11 The HePTP protein consists of a tyrosine phosphatase domain and a short N-terminal extension, which contains a region referred to as the kinase interaction motif (KIM). Physiological substrates of HePTP include the extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) and the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK),14−16 which associate tightly with HePTP via the KIM. In resting T cells, HePTP ensures dephosphorylation of the positive regulatory phosphotyrosine (pTyr) residue in the activation loop of the kinases14,15 and also prevents them from translocating to the nucleus.17 T cell antigen receptor (TCR) ligation results not only in the activation of the MAPKs but also in the phosphorylation of HePTP at Ser-23 by cAMP-dependent kinase, causing the HePTP-MAPK complex to dissociate.15,18 A fraction of activated ERK/p38 is then able to translocate to the nucleus, initiating signaling events that lead to T cell activation.18
Small-molecule inhibitors of PTPs involved in cytosolic MAPK regulation have been reported for the Vaccinia H1-related phosphatase (VHR)19−21 and MAP kinase phosphatase-3 (MKP-3).22 Both enzymes, along with HePTP, share the common physiological target ERK. However, specific modulators of HePTP activity have not yet been described. Here, we report the discovery of a series of phenoxyacetic acids as inhibitors of HePTP. We show that these compounds are able to penetrate cell membranes and inhibit HePTP in human T cells and provide evidence for how these inhibitors interact with HePTP on a molecular level. We also discuss the specificity of these inhibitors for HePTP versus the related phosphatases VHR and MKP-3.
To identify inhibitors of the phosphatase VHR, we recently performed a high-throughput screen (HTS) using the Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers network (MLPCN, http://mli.nih.gov/mli/mlpcn/). HePTP and MKP-3 were used for counterscreens, which led us to the discovery of the HePTP-selective inhibitors described herein. In the primary HTS, the MLPCN collection of 291018 compounds was screened using a colorimetric phosphatase assay,23 resulting in 1524 actives, that is, compounds that demonstrated an inhibition of VHR of ≥50% at a concentration of 13.3 μM. Detailed results of the screening were uploaded to the PubChem Web site (http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/; AID 1654). Secondary single-concentration and dose−response assays employed the fluorescein-based substrate 3-O-methylfluorescein phosphate (OMFP). These assays confirmed that 195 hits inhibited VHR in a dose-dependent manner (PubChem AIDs 1878 and 1957). The confirmed hits were then tested in counterscreen assays against HePTP and MKP-3, using the same substrate OMFP. Surprisingly, we identified a compound scaffold that exhibited more potent activity toward HePTP than toward either VHR or MKP-3 (Table 1). This scaffold contained a 2H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-3(5H)-one core structure and a phenoxyacetic acid headgroup. Subsequent structure−activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that the phenoxyacetic acid group of these compounds was essential for PTP inhibition, probably by mimicking the tyrosine phosphate group of the natural substrate. Analogue 6, which did not contain the phenoxyacetic acid group, did not inhibit any of the three PTPs at 50 μM concentration. We also found that the substitution pattern at the phenyl ring in the 5-position of the thiazolo-pyrimidinone heterocycle altered the inhibitory activity of the compounds. Inhibitors with small substituents, such as a chlorine atom in the para-position (compounds 1 and 2), performed best against HePTP. In fact, compound 1 was the most selective inhibitor for HePTP, showing 19.5-fold selectivity over VHR and 42-fold selectivity over MKP-3. To evaluate the selectivity of 1 in a wider context of tyrosine-specific PTPs such as HePTP, we performed additional experiments using a standard phosphatase assay and a panel of six recombinant PTPs that are also present in T cells. In these experiments, we found that compound 1 selectively inhibits HePTP over CD45 (8.8-fold), Shp2 (4.1-fold), TCPTP (2.6-fold), Lyp (1.4-fold), LAR (>50-fold), and also PTP1B (4.3-fold). In addition, Michaelis−Menten kinetic studies revealed that compound 1 is a competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 0.69 ± 0.20 μM for HePTP.
To understand how the phenoxyacetic acids inhibit HePTP on a molecular level, we used in silico docking to explore potential binding modes of these inhibitors with HePTP. Flexible ligand docking was carried out with the ICM docking algorithm as implemented in the ICM-Pro program (v3.7-1g, Molsoft, LLC). The coordinates of the three-dimensional (3D) structure of HePTP in complex with a phosphorylated peptide corresponding to the ERK activation loop were used for the docking studies (PDB code 3D44, ref (24)). The binding pocket in HePTP was defined as an 8 Å radius around the pTyr residue of the phosphopeptide. Because all inhibitors were racemic mixtures containing both R- and S-enantiomers at a 50:50 ratio, ICM docking scores were calculated for each isomer (Table 2). Structures (R)-1, (R)-2, (R)-3, (R)-5, (S)-1, (S)-2, (S)-3, and (S)-4 docked into the HePTP active site with very good (−34) to excellent (−65) scores (Table 2; scores below −32 are generally regarded as sound). Conversely, structures (R)-4, (R)-6, (S)-5, and (S)-6 failed to dock with reasonable scores and, in fact, were not able to bind into the catalytic pocket. Correlating these docking results with the IC50 values for HePTP obtained from the racemic mixtures of the compounds (Table 1) suggest that the inhibitors fall into three groups. In the first group (compounds 1, 2, and 3), both the R- and S-enantiomers docked very well into the active site, while also exhibiting very low IC50 values, suggesting that both enantiomers inhibit HePTP. In the second group (compounds 4 and 5), the docking scores varied substantially for the individual enantiomers despite the low IC50 values exhibited by the compounds, suggesting that only one isomer inhibited HePTP activity in the biochemical assay. In group three (compound 6), both enantiomers failed to dock into HePTP, consistent with the complete absence of inhibitory activity for this compound.
To explore if the observed selectivity of the inhibitors for HePTP over VHR and MKP-3 could be explained on the basis of structural differences within the active sites of the three enzymes, we also docked the compounds into the crystal structures of VHR (PDB code 1J4X) and MKP-3 (PDB code 1MKP). While all of the compounds failed to dock into MKP-3, the majority of the compounds could be docked into the catalytic center of VHR, although with significantly lower docking scores as compared to HePTP (Table 2). Thus, as seen for HePTP, the flexible ligand docking results correlated very well with the biochemical assay data, in which low or no inhibitory activity was found toward MKP-3, and moderate inhibitory activity was observed toward VHR.
The docking results also suggest how these compounds might interact with residues at the HePTP active site. SAR demonstrated that the phenoxyacetic acid group is critical for inhibition. Indeed, in all successfully docked compounds, this group formed multiple hydrogen bonds with multiple residues in the HePTP catalytic pocket, perfectly mimicking the binding of a phosphate moiety (Figure (Figure1).1). Specifically, hydrogen bonds were formed between the guanidinium nitrogens and the backbone nitrogen of the invariant Arg-276 of the phosphate-binding loop (P-loop), the backbone nitrogen of His-237 of the WPD-loop, and the side chain of the conserved Gln-314 of the Q-loop. In addition, the phenyl ring of the phenoxyacetic acid group was involved in π−π stacking interactions with Tyr-104 of the substrate-binding loop (SB-loop), which is not present in MKP-3 or VHR. Critically, the inhibitors were also found to interact with two other residues of the SB-loop, Lys-105 and Thr-106 (Figure (Figure1).1). In all successfully docked molecules, the ε-amino group of Lys-105 and/or the hydroxyl group of Thr-106 formed a hydrogen bond with the oxygen atom of the ester group in the 6-position of the heterocycle. Neither Lys-105 nor Thr-106 is conserved in VHR or MKP-3 (the corresponding loop containing these residues is missing in MKP-3 and much shorter in VHR), suggesting that these interactions may contribute to the selective inhibition of HePTP. In fact, a threonine residue at position 106 is only found in the three KIM-containing PTPs,25 including HePTP, striatum-enriched phosphatase (STEP), and the STEP-like PTP (PTP-SL/PCPTP1), the latter two of which are not expressed in T cells as they are expressed predominantly in the brain.24 To give further evidence for such a binding mode in which the inhibitor specifically interacts with these two residues, we used site-directed mutagenesis to mutate Lys-105 and Thr-106 to alanines and tested compound 1 against the recombinant HePTP double mutant. Using 6,8-difluoro-4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (DiFMUP) as small artificial substrate, kinetic parameters including Km and Vmax were similar between wild type and mutant protein, which allowed us to directly compare the IC50 values of the inhibitor. Interestingly, compound 1 was 2.1-fold less active against the K105A/T106A mutant enzyme, clearly demonstrating that the two residues are involved in inhibitor binding. The fact that the difference in inhibition is modest is likely due to favorable hydrophobic interactions between the ethyl ester group of compound 1 and the methyl groups of the mutated alanine residues in HePTP. Taken together, our computational studies revealed molecular details about a possible binding mode for the phenoxyacetic acids with HePTP, as well as interactions that may confer selectivity of these compounds for HePTP. Importantly, the results obtained from the docking studies were in excellent agreement with the biochemical data, including mutagenesis studies.
To assess the ability of these compounds to inhibit HePTP activity in intact human cells, we performed T cell-based assays to probe phosphorylation sites in the direct substrates of HePTP. For the immunoblot assays, we preincubated Jurkat T cells with compound 1 or 2 at concentrations of 5 and 40 μM or vehicle (DMSO) at 37 °C for 45 min. Cells were then TCR-stimulated for 5 min, and reactions were stopped by adding lysis buffer. Immunoblotting was performed with phospho-ERK1/2 (pERK) and phospho-p38 (pp38) specific antibodies. Activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), which is a target for VHR but not for HePTP, was measured to assess the specificity of the inhibitors in cells. The results show that both compounds 1 and 2 at concentrations of 5 and 40 μM augmented pp38 levels, while pJNK levels were not affected (Figure (Figure2;2; as can be seen, the pp38 levels increase by 1.35−2.04-fold in the presence of inhibitor). The effect was greater at 40 μM, demonstrating a dose-dependent efficacy of the two inhibitors. Notably, the compounds did not increase ERK activation, suggesting redundancies in ERK dephosphorylation by MKP-3 and/or VHR, the only other two PTPs known to act on ERK at this early time point in TCR signaling. Given the fact that MKP-3 was considerably less or not inhibited by the compounds in the phosphatase assay and that VHR activity was unaffected in cells (as measured by the unchanged pJNK levels), redundancy in deactivating ERK through these two PTPs seems likely and would explain the observed results. Along those lines, knocking down HePTP protein by ~80% was previously shown to increase pERK levels by only a small amount.26 Importantly, we demonstrated that the phenoxyacetic acid inhibitors were able to penetrate cell membranes and inhibit HePTP in cells. Moreover, these data suggest that it is indeed possible to selectively modulate the p38 MAPK pathway with these small molecules. T cells treated with the inactive analogue 6 did not show any changes in MAP kinase activation, showing that the augmented p38 phosphorylation by compounds 1 and 2 is not due to nonspecific effects (data not shown).
In conclusion, we identified a series of HePTP-specific inhibitors with low micromolar activities in vitro and in cells. SAR analysis revealed that the phenoxyacetic acid group was essential for the inhibitory activity of the compounds, suggesting that this group mimics the pTyr of the natural substrate. Indeed, in silico docking studies illustrated that this group interacts strongly with the P-loop in the catalytic pocket of HePTP. These studies, in combination with mutagenesis experiments, also identified favorable interactions of the compounds with the less conserved residues Lys-105 and Thr-106 in the HePTP SB-loop and support the strategy of selective PTP inhibition through protein−ligand interactions peripheral to the catalytic pocket.23,27,28 The fact that the docking scores varied substantially between the different enantiomers for some of the inhibitors indicates that future studies with enantiomerically pure compounds are warranted and will be important for further optimization of the compounds. It also indicates that the IC50 values for enantiomerically pure compounds are likely lower than reported. Importantly, we found the HePTP inhibitors to be active in T lymphocytes at concentrations as low as 5 μM. These assays also demonstrated that at the tested concentrations the compounds did not inhibit VHR in cells. In fact, we observed a specific effect on p38 activation, while the pERK substrate was not affected. Thus, these compounds will be useful to specifically modulate p38 signaling, while signaling through the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK pathway will be unaffected. Future studies with these compounds will establish whether pharmacological inhibition of HePTP will provide treatments for various (pre)-leukemic disorders.

Tata Hexa crossover concept debuts tomorrow in Geneva – Report
Shrawan Raja, I'm the Founder & CEO of IndianAutosBlog.com. I love teamwork and talking about cars.
Will preview the design direction of future Tata SUVs.
Autocar India has reported that Tata Motors will showcase a new crossover named 'Tata Hexa' at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show which begins tomorrow. The company has had a history of unveilings at the Swiss show, and is reportedly also planning to launch a performance Bolt hatchback as a second premiere this year.
The publication adds that the Tata Hexa is "a near-production-ready concept" of a new crossover, and the name is derived from its seating configuration, which is a three-row, six-seat arrangement, with captain seats in the middle row.
The concept will reportedly feature swept-back headlights, large grille, chrome accents and point to the design of future utility vehicles from the brand. It will source its power from an uprated version of the 2.2-liter DICOR diesel engine that is used on the Aria and the Safari Storme.
The production version of the Hexa will likely go on sale in early 2016, adds the report.
