- Experience writing automated tests (MSTest, NUnit).
- Desire to be part of a team that is doing great and innovative work.
- Passionate about all aspects of development. We are not above debating tabs versus spaces.

I'm finally get through my Waid Captain America HCs. I've loved my Lee/Kirby omnibus and really love what Brubaker has done. Cap has many angles and its great to see where different writers take him.
I haven't read any of Gruenwald yet. I keep hoping that there will be some HC collection and I hate to double dip.
Just received/started to read the Avengers Kree/Skrull War OHC. Pre-Disassembled, the only Avengers I'd read was the Terminus Annuals (which included IM, Cap, etc) and my dad's old Avengers 93, which is the Journey Into The Android story.
Anyway, re-reading that issue with context is fantastic. That was the first time I'd ever seen Vision, Ant-Man, Mar-Vell or The Scarlet Witch.
And Neal Adams' art is wonderful. That opening page of issue 95, with Triton crawling out of the water, is just beautiful!
I'm keen to familiarise myself with more Avengers now, as it's probably one of my less-read Marvel properties, (Spidey and X-stuff would be the most-read).
Yeah because anyone who likes Brubaker Cap must have no soul, you come out with some peculiar statements in this thread Shinobi but that one is the oddest I've seen so far.
You admit Brubaker writes excellent stories, he writes excellent Cap stories, the stories are good the art is good it's an entertaining read. That's ALL I care about, I couldn't care less about how it compares to Cap stories from the age of the dinosaurs and I certainly don't whether Cap is carrying a shield, gun or catapult.
The letters page is where everyone laughed at edit mistakes and employed work arounds for the comic code. And a reservoir for gushing fans.
This, man.
I think theres a big distinction between someone like Spider-Man and Captain America, and that distinction is Spider-Man is just a superhero trying to do the right thing while Cap is that and a soldier, and with that some come a willingness to kill when necessary. Thats the ugly side of heroism. Our war heroes kill people. That doesn't make them monsters or mean they have no soul, its their job and its what they have to do. If Cap was adverse to killing bad guys he wouldn't have enlisted in the first place. I'm not saying Cap should be shooting muggers but if killing someone is the only way to put them down then he should be willing to do it.
I think this is just a weird thing with comic book fans. Most movie fans have no problem with their heroes killing, its normal. Indiana Jones? Shot people. Luke Skywalker? Shot people. Both movies are beloved by children and no one bats an eye at it or thinks these guys are grim n' gritty anti-heroes. Its just this weird fixation comic book fans have where if a hero kills people hes super bad.
Ok, but when Steve Rogers took the super soldier serum it didn't alter his mind, only his body. He was still the same person afterwards, just with an enhanced physique. So while I don't think Cap should be running around with an assault rifle shooting baddies on sight (as the average baddie no longer has anything over Steve Rogers), I do think he should be willing to kill if necessary. Cap should never be stuck on a decision between "If I let this guy get away he'll continue to try to take over the world, but the only way to stop him is to blow up his one-man escape plane and kill him." Ten times out of ten he should shoot that sucker down.
Has anyone read SA Iron Man? I've been thinking about getting the Essentials (if I can get Vol 1 at a good price anyway) but I don't know how much of the material is worth reading.
Don't feed the troll guys, it's derailing a good thread.
Went into my LCS today and they had so many OOP books it's not funny, only problem is they've had them at OOP prices since release by the looks of it. Hate to use this as an example but Brubakers Death of Cap Omni was there at $165, which is about $125US. I really wanted to buy something there but seeing books at 3 times the price I can get them from BD is very disheartening and off putting. It's cool to see the books in person though, seeing as I buy nearly everuthing "blind". Stuff like the Flash Omnibus 1 and 2(v1 is so tiny) and the AoA Omnibus ($265NZ D: ) looked interesting, pretty keen to get Siege OHC too as that has quite a few issues from NEw and Dark Avengers which I didn't realize. Would tie in nicely to JMS/Gillen Thor too.
I'm asking that myself sometimes when I look at my shelves. The conversion here (especially in LCS) is $1 = 1 (1 is now actually $1.25), so you get e.g. a $100 Omni for $125, since many LCS don't do discounts.
Using BD or other online sellers, one can often get the same book for around $75 or less. To Americans that is hardly a deal at all, but it'll do for most of us.
If Amazon.com and B&N wouldn't pack their stuff so outrageoulsy bad, those places would be more interesting for us as well.

The International RS:X Class Association has announced the launch of the RS:X Marketplace.
Windsurfers wanting to sell or buy RS:X equipment will now be able to trade gear in the Olympic windsurfing class website.
It's never easy to trade windsurfing boards, sails, masts or booms. One option is to post handwritten adverts on official notice boards at clubs or when at regattas, but the audience is very limited.

The 2014 PWA World Tour will not kick off at El Yaque, in Venezuela.
The Professional Windsurfers Association (PWA) has announced that the PWA Grand Slam at El Yaque, Margarita Island, Venezuela, will not be run due to "recent political changes" that "have created some temporary issues".
"Due to changes in the laws and procedures that govern currency exchange in Venezuela, the process of releasing the required funds for the event has been delayed, making it impossible to guarantee that the funds would be released in time for an event at the end of March," the PWA World Tour underlines.

Byron Kokkalanis and Bryony Shaw have taken gold at the 2014 ISAF Sailing World Cup Miami, held in Biscayne Bay, Florida.
Italy's Mattia Camboni came out with youthful exuberance in the medal race to power ahead early on, but Kokkalanis fought back. Trailing the young Italian by 19 seconds at the first mark, Kokkalanis pushed hard to make up the difference.
"It turned out to be really good in the second half of the upwind. I didn't have a good start, but I tried to cover and I worked well with the shifts and got up to second position at the top," says Kokkalanis.

Why should we play the music of our time?
Contemporary music stimulates our curiosity and is sustained by it
At a post concert discussion, the composer of a new work we had just premiered was asked why people didn't write tunes any more. 'They put the same question to Palestrina,' was the composer's response - to which the audience member instantly replied 'Well I don't like Palestrina either!'
It would be a poorer world if we only valued what we liked.
Contemporary art is a reflection of its time, and it is natural that looking into a mirror can sometimes be an uncomfortable experience. Nor is it easy to appreciate something before it fully exists. Our reaction to the new is inevitably different to that of something we know, and comparisons are hard to make in the absence of a level playing field. It is also human nature to find a certain comfort in the familiar. But the best composers widen the boundaries of our culture without any sense of alienation. With notable exceptions, the history of music is one of evolution rather than revolution. Pieces can be original without losing contact with their origin.
It would be disingenuous to suggest that playing modern music is always a pleasure and it can be frustrating not to benefit from the process of natural selection that occurs over time. There are barely a handful of composers from the first decade of the 19th century whose works we still perform yet Wikipedia lists almost 1000 living and writing today. Their works will not all survive, but the future depends more on the present than the past.
Every time an orchestra plays a familiar work, it does so in relation to its expectation. Players respond to completely new compositions however, without any preconceptions. Their musical opinions are purely personal. In the absence of any inherited aural tradition on which to balance an understanding, their interpretation can be nothing other than completely sincere. With well-known music the possibility for generic performances is always there. People know 'how it goes' and the connection between composer and player is in reality diluted by sometimes hundreds of years of other people's ideas. With new pieces musicians have only themselves as the source of expression. Devoid of any historical influence, the performance is inevitably as unique as the person playing it. The music-making is both liberating and empowering. It forces us to be the best musicians we can be.
Whenever people tell me that they do not understand modern music, I wonder if I 'understand' any music at all. I'm not sure if that is the part of our brain we are meant to be using. Understanding is a form of limitation, and music is nothing if not unlimited. Masterpieces never lose their ability to surprise, however many times they are heard. They inspire endless curiosity, an interest that is central to who we are. This is even more true for the music of our time. It stimulates our curiosity and is sustained by it. Breaking that cycle imposes fundamental restrictions on the potential of our experience.
Leading conductor Mark Wigglesworth is equally at home in the opera house as in the concert hall – and, indeed, the studio, where his acclaimed Shostakovich symphony cycle for BIS is nearing completion. In 'Shaping the invisible' Mark shares his passion for music and his fascination with the philosophies and psychologies that lie behind it. (Photo: Ben Ealovega)
I wonder what Mark Wigglesworth made of the first work in last night's Prom concert which on paper was a sufficient deterrent for me to going to the concert and stand through over 30 minutes of incomprehensible sound before Mahler 5. Hearing it on Radio 3 last night confirmed my worst fears - I just could not understand what it was about, there were no tunes or melodies to latch on to.
This I fear is what's wrong with a lot of 'modern' music. The few pieces I have in my CD collection written in the last 25 years are Skempton's Largo, Adès' Asyla and MacMillan's Veni, Veni, Emmanuel and The Confessions of Isobel Gowdie. This is about as far as I'm comfortable with contemporary music.

I'm to some extent in agreement with Brian. Any lover of classical music can see how crucial it is that the tradition is continued in the present time and that the writing of new music is encouraged, commissioned, programmed in concerts, recorded and enters the repertoire.
However much modern music, such as the piece that preceded Mahler 5 at the Proms, has lost its way. I'm no musicologist, but random collections of uncomfortable noises will never gain a following from music lovers. It is frankly embarrasing. 99% of the general public could not name a serious "classical" composer from the last forty years. Was the same true in any other age?
Mark says that music can be uncomfortable to hear because it can reflect its time. I buy this, but I bet the 1800's were more uncomfortable to live through.
I'm not 99% of the general public (!) because I have Part, Rautavarra, MacMillan, Ades, Lutoslawski, Gorecki, Tavener, etc., in my CD collection. But I can see how when a lot of modern music is unapproachable, none of my peers are going to become interested. Furthermore, concerts where I live stick rigidly to the core classical/romantic repertory and don't dare put anything modern on for fear of upsetting a conservative and ageing audience.
So I am on board with what Mark says, but I have a plea for those 1,000 talented composers living today who have not sold their souls as tunesmiths to the shallow but commercially attractive world of pop. Write music that makes a statement about its times, but can also appeal to the common man rather than just a supposed intellectual elite.

Of course at some extent, we should understand the music of today. It's something that we should be aware of. Something that relaxes the soul. There is little doubt that a LinkedIn profile is important to be aggressive in today's increasingly technological business community. What about your profile photo? Does it increase or decrease the chances of non-white professionals to engage others? Does the so-called "beauty bias" work against those without classical attributes? Use a short term loan to help pay for your professional photo shoot.

The arts live in an age given the integrity of the artist. Surrealists lived in a situation where truth was murdered, and their art told us so. Their copyists today lack integrity. The War Century is over. Pretend-art does not have the quality of insight that makes time worthy. The original and genuine arises by direct contact with the world who shares us all. Today. Now.
For modern music, contemporary music, beyond mere excruciating exercises shuffling the deck, the moment of composition is true improvisation.
I enjoy my musical culture, my family's life in music and its new and present genuine expressions. Such as my own in my Symphonic Films and other works.
Here is a small small example: Dall - Powwow of Carolina Tribes.
Enjoy the day.

Apple settlement
Business in brief
Apple will give more than $100 million in iTunes Store credits to settle lawsuit
February 26
Apple has agreed to give more than $100 million in iTunes Store credits to settle a lawsuit alleging that the iPhone and iPad maker improperly charged kids for playing games on their mobile devices.
The federal case centers on allegations that Apple didn't create adequate parental controls to prevent children from buying extra features while playing free games on iPhones and iPads in 2010 and 2011.
Apple has agreed to award an iTunes credit of $5 to each of the estimated 23 million accountholders who may have been affected. Parents could receive more if they can show their bills exceeded $5. If the charges exceeded $30, cash refunds will be offered.
Job cuts
• JPMorgan Chase will eliminate as many as 19,000 jobs in mortgages and community banking through 2014 as chief executive officer Jamie Dimon trims expenses. The lender, employing about 259,000 people at the end of December, will cut 13,000 to 15,000 jobs in its mortgage unit and 3,000 to 4,000 in community banking, excluding home lending, through the end of next year, the company said.
• Best Buy cut 400 jobs at its headquarters as chief executive officer Hubert Joly works to reduce costs. The cuts and other actions will eliminate about $150 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, the company said.
Earnings reports
• Home Depot said its fourth-quarter net income surged 32 percent, beating expectations, helped by strong U.S. sales and the cleanup related to Superstorm Sandy. Home Depot also said it will buy back $17 billion of its common stock and boosted its quarterly dividend 34 percent.
• Macy's reported a fourth-quarter profit that beat Wall Street expectations as its strategy of tailoring merchandise to local markets paid off during the holiday season. The department store chain, which also operates Bloomingdale's stores, said it earned $730 million, or $1.83 per share, for the period ending Feb. 2. That compares with $745 million, or $1.74 per share, a year earlier, when the company had more outstanding shares. Revenue was $9.35 billion, up from $8.72 billion a year earlier. Analysts expected a profit of $1.99 per share on revenue of $9.35 billion.
• Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia's fourth-quarter net income slid 74 percent as the company continues to struggle with weak results at its publishing and broadcasting divisions. The company earned $1.1 million, or 2 cents per share, for the three months ending Dec. 31. Revenue declined 9 percent, to $56.4 million from $61.7 million, due mostly to lower revenue at its publishing and broadcasting units.
Hybrid wheat
DuPont has begun developing hybrid wheat varieties to accelerate yield gains in the world's most planted crop.
Hybrid wheat technology has been added at the first phase of a five-step research and development pipeline at DuPont's Pioneer seed unit, the company said.
Bank profits
Banks earned $34.7 billion in the last three months of 2012, up from $25.4 billion a year earlier and the highest for a fourth quarter since 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. reported.
Sixty percent of banks reported improved earnings from the fourth quarter of 2011, the agency said.

"Girl You Make Me Stupid" was a highlight not only on account of Collier's presence, but also due to funky vocals and a searing solo from Jim Wuest on keyboards. |

"As we walked back through the hall, I, for the first time in my life, said to another human being, 'I'm having trouble with my drinking too.' She took me by the hand and introduced me to the woman that I'm very proud to call my sponsor.
This woman and her husband are both in A.A., and she said to me, 'Oh, but you're not the alcoholic; it's your husband.' I said, 'Yes.' She said, 'How long have you been married?' I said, 'Twenty-seven years.' She said "Twenty-seven years to an alcoholic! How did you ever stand it?' I thought, now here's a nice sympathetic soul! This is for me. I said, "Well, I stood it to keep the home together, and for the children's sake.' She said, 'Yes, I know. You're just a martyr, aren't you?'
I walked away from that woman grinding my teeth and cursing under my breath. … But that night I tried to go to sleep. And I thought, 'You're some martyr, Jane! Let's look at the record.' And when I looked at it, I knew I was just as much a drunk as George was, if not worse. I nudged George next morning, and I said I'm in,' and he said, 'Oh, I knew you'd make it.'

Memphis Tigers Preview 2009 - Offense
- 2009 CFN Memphis Preview | 2009 Memphis Offense - 2009 Memphis Defense | 2009 Memphis Depth Chart - 2008 Memphis Preview | 2007 Memphis Preview | 2006 Memphis Preview What you need to know: While the Tigers boast some really talented skill position players, like RB Curtis Steele and receivers Carlos Singleton and Duke Calhoun, you might not know it if everyone else doesn't step up. For the Memphis offense to truly flourish up to Tommy West's expectations, it's incumbent upon QB Arkelon Hall to evolve into a steadier passer and the rebuilt offensive line not to look rebuilt. After showing flashes in his first year out of junior college, the Tigers are counting on Hall to make good use of his weapons for at least 12 games. The front wall, which played so well a year ago, is being forced to replace four starters, and is dangerously thin in terms of proven depth.

Vozenilek says churches are not responsible to aggressively seek out those who might have the disorder. "However, church laypeople can be trained to identify the outward displays and the internal feelings of a combat veteran," he says. "This basic training can be enough to help recognize the problems and get prayer support, make referrals to support systems, and be able to offer support as a concerned layperson within the community."
Captain Jeffrey Farr, an Iowa National Guard chaplain, points out that while it's crucial to know when to refer vets to outside resources, churches are also mission-critical to recovery. "Help veterans address not just 'why' their experiences happened, but to what extent can this be used," he says. "Do not turn them away because you feel like you have nothing to offer. They need you, and they need the God that you represent."
Al Guerra, pastor of the 400-member Hispanic congregation at Wheaton (Ill.) Bible Church, says that when veterans come home from a war, "They often just need basic assistance—rides, food, help in getting out of debt, upkeep in the home. But churches should form a network to find the families of soldiers and show up at their front doors asking, 'Is there anything we can do for you?'"
Lisa Jaycox, senior behavioral scientist at the RAND Corporation, says that the more stress a family is under, the harder it is to recover from PTSD. Like Guerra, she notes that any support that churches can offer the family is helpful, from mowing the lawn and offering meals to providing financial guidance.
Vozenilek feels that churches basically turned their backs on the Viet Nam veterans. "My greatest fear today is not that the churches are turning their backs, but that they won't care for veterans because they simply don't know what to do," he says. "There are certainly churches out there doing it right. But they're few and far between."

Read Aloud
Most producers and directors acknowledge the crucial role of the screenplay, yet the film script has received little academic attention until recently, even though the screenplay has been in existence since the end of the 19th century.
Analysing the Screenplay highlights the screenplay as an important form in itself, as opposed to merely being the first stage of the production process. It explores a number of possible approaches to studying the screenplay, considering the depth and breadth of the subject area, including:
- the history and early development of the screenplay in the United States, France and Britain
- the process of screenplay writing and its peculiar relationship to film production
- the assumption that the screenplay is standardised in form and certain stories or styles are universal
- the range of writing outside the mainstream, from independent film to story ideas in Bhutanese film production to animation
- possible critical approaches to analysing the screenplay.
Analysing the Screenplay is a comprehensive anthology, offering a global selection of contributions from internationally renowned, specialist authors. Together they provide readers with an insight into this fascinating yet complex written form.
This anthology will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students on a range of Film Studies courses, particularly those on scriptwriting.

Here at Everplans we are very serious about your security. We realize that you are trusting the Everplans service with the most important information and documents you own. Your important personal information is encrypted and protected with industry-leading technology and security is part of our culture and an ongoing part of the life of our company.
Securing Your Data at Rest
Within our systems, all your data is stored using AES-256 encryption with a uniquely derived key for each user following the recommendations of NIST Special Publication 800-132. We encrypt every single personally identifiable field in the database, including your name and email address. For searching and indexing, we hash a small number of fields using HMAC. We apply the same encryption technique to all files you upload.
As with all systems such as ours, the security of your information depends on you. You must choose a strong password (we enforce that as best we can) and you should never share your password with anyone. Everplans provides a much more secure system for sharing information with those you care about via our deputy function.
Securing Your Data in Transit
All communications between you and Everplans are encrypted via SSL using 2048-bit certificates and we require SSL on all communications. We are implementing perfect forward secrecy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_secrecy) so that even if someone eavesdrops on your communication, they will still not be able to decrypt the data in the event that our key is compromised.
Operational Procedures to Keep the Site Secure
Everplans follows best practices to keep your data secure. In addition to severely restricting access to operational enviroments (including private keys), we regularly audit our enviroments and code for security issues and apply patches expeditiously. We use commercial services that regularly check our site (including McAfee Secure) and we also retain our own security experts to probe and verify the security of our site.
Administrative Access to your Information
Because your security and privacy is paramount to us, we limit what access our administrators have to your account to the limited set of data necessary to help grant you access to your account (by triggering confirmation emails, for example) and help you restrict access to your account in urgent circumstances (such as by limiting or removing a deputy's access). Everplans administrators can never see the plan information that you fill out or any documents that you upload. They may have access to limited meta-data (such as whether or not you uploaded a will) but not the data itself (they will never be able to see the will you uploaded). Everplans logs and regularly audits all accesses to your account, whether by you, an administrator or your deputies.

Comment: @Chris Philpot 16 March 2012
You say that the new iPad has dated camera technology. Nonsense. It has the optics of the 4S..... It may be only 5 megapixels, but the new optics make the photos look very good indeed. It looks like you are quite jealous of the iPads success. I am not obsessed with apple, but the iPad certainly is racing ahead of the competition, and is better than a lot of other tablets that I have tried. Even if there was an Asus transformer to come out with windows 8, the following iPad would probably blow it of the water still. 3 million iPad's sold doesn't mean to say that they are jumping on the apple bandwagon. Apple are able to sell that many units because they are making an excellent product.
AppleMad 20 June 2012
Good: Fantastic Retina display, great apps
Bad: No 4G in the UK
Comment: The new iPad (or iPad 3 as it is less commonly known) is still the market leader of the tablet industry. At a resolution of 2048x1536, photos and video look stunning and text looks pin sharp on the Retina display. The A5X chip drives four times the pixels of the iPad 2, yet it delivers the same smoothness and fluidity. The camera has been upgraded to and iSight 5MP and you can now record video in stunning 1080p. Lastly the new iPad has been upgraded to 4G, so if you are in anywhere other than the UK, you can enjoy lightening fast browsing speeds.
The new iPad is an amazing device, and sets the standard for what tablet computers should be like today.

SummaryInduced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) outwardly appear to be indistinguishable from embryonic stem cells (ESCs). A study of gene expression profiles of mouse and human ESCs and iPSCs suggests that, while iPSCs are quite similar to their embryonic counterparts, a recurrent gene expression signature appears in iPSCs regardless of their origin or the method by which they were generated. Upon extended culture, hiPSCs adopt a gene expression profile more similar to hESCs; however, they still retain a gene expression signature unique from hESCs that extends to miRNA expression. Genome-wide data suggested that the iPSC signature gene expression differences are due to differential promoter binding by the reprogramming factors. High-resolution array profiling demonstrated that there is no common specific subkaryotypic alteration that is required for reprogramming and that reprogramming does not lead to genomic instability. Together, these data suggest that iPSCs should be considered a unique subtype of pluripotent cell.

Keirstead, Jeanne F. Loring and Louise C. Laurent
SummaryHuman pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are potential sources of cells for modeling disease and development, drug discovery, and regenerative medicine. However, it is important to identify factors that may impact the utility of hPSCs for these applications. In an unbiased analysis of 205 hPSC and 130 somatic samples, we identified hPSC-specific epigenetic and transcriptional aberrations in genes subject to X chromosome inactivation (XCI) and genomic imprinting, which were not corrected during directed differentiation. We also found that specific tissue types were distinguished by unique patterns of DNA hypomethylation, which were recapitulated by DNA demethylation during in vitro directed differentiation. Our results suggest that verification of baseline epigenetic status is critical for hPSC-based disease models in which the observed phenotype depends on proper XCI or imprinting and that tissue-specific DNA methylation patterns can be accurately modeled during directed differentiation of hPSCs, even in the presence of variations in XCI or imprinting.

SummaryThe establishment of self-renewing hepatoblast-like cells (HBCs) from human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) would realize a stable supply of hepatocyte-like cells for medical applications. However, the functional characterization of human PSC-derived HBCs was not enough. To purify and expand human PSC-derived HBCs, human PSC-derived HBCs were cultured on dishes coated with various types of human recombinant laminins (LN). Human PSC-derived HBCs attached to human laminin-111 (LN111)-coated dish via integrin alpha 6 and beta 1 and were purified and expanded by culturing on the LN111-coated dish, but not by culturing on dishes coated with other laminin isoforms. By culturing on the LN111-coated dish, human PSC-derived HBCs were maintained for more than 3 months and had the ability to differentiate into both hepatocyte-like cells and cholangiocyte-like cells. These expandable human PSC-derived HBCs would be manageable tools for drug screening, experimental platforms to elucidate mechanisms of hepatoblasts, and cell sources for hepatic regenerative therapy.

► Differential expression of a range of markers among 39 hPSC lines ► miR-371-3 expression correlates negatively with neurogenic propensity ► KLF4 transduction induces miR-371-3 and inhibits neural differentiation ► miR-371-3 loss of function rescues KLF4-induced repression of neurogenic propensity
- The use of pluripotent stem cells in regenerative medicine and disease modeling is complicated by the variation in differentiation properties between lines. In this study, we characterized 13 human embryonic stem cell (hESC) and 26 human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines to identify markers that predict neural differentiation behavior. At a general level, markers previously known to distinguish mouse ESCs from epiblast stem cells (EPI-SCs) correlated with neural differentiation behavior. More specifically, quantitative analysis of miR-371-3 expression prospectively identified hESC and hiPSC lines with differential neurogenic differentiation propensity and in vivo dopamine neuron engraftment potential. Transient KLF4 transduction increased miR-371-3 expression and altered neurogenic behavior and pluripotency marker expression. Conversely, suppression of miR-371-3 expression in KLF4-transduced cells rescued neural differentiation propensity. miR-371-3 expression level therefore appears to have both a predictive and a functional role in determining human pluripotent stem cell neurogenic differentiation behavior.

Senator Mike Enzi Reacts to Supreme Court Verdict on Affordable Care Care
Senator Mike Enzi held a press conference today, deriding the recent Supreme Court decision to uphold the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. Enzi—who was instrumental in developing the healthcare bill –opposes the legislation on the grounds that it will raise taxes, increase the budget deficit, and be hard on small businesses.
Enzi says the only bright side of the Supreme Court ruling is that it rejects a requirement that would have states provide Medicaid to a much larger sector of the population.
"What this does is ensure that people that are under Medicaid at the present time can be taken care of by the state adequately… and that they can figure out what additional things they are going to be able to afford," Enzi says.
Because of the Supreme Court's decision, any changes to the law would have to go through Congress. Some members of the US House of Representatives hope to put a repeal of the law in motion next month.

Salman painting sells for 1 crore
Did you know that Bollywood super-brat Salman Khan has turned into a painter of considerable repute? If you are still unaware of his latent talents, let us tell you that one of his paintings has recently sold for Rs one crore! It remains to be seen, however, whether the buyer was motivated by his love of art or simply sucking up to Salman.
At a recent Mumbai art auction organized by Ramola Bachchan for Plan India, a well-known charity, Salman Khan's painting was about to be sold for Rs.20 lakhs, which any novice artist would consider 'very good'! But Salman Khan was confident that his art was unique and extraordinary.
So when Plan India seemed to accept the bid of Rs.20 lakhs, he walked onto the stage and pulled out his offering from the auction and waited for an opportunity to sell it for a better price. It seems that Ramesh, an art lover, heard about Sallubhai pulling out his painting from the Bachchan auction and contacted the actor.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
A U.S. International Trade Comission judge is recommending sanctions against Samsung that include an import and sales ban on products found to infringe Apple patents, and the posting of a bond for 88 percent of the value of some of the devices involved in the case.
Administrative Law Judge Thomas Pender's remedy in the Apple complaint against Samsung was made public in a redacted version of his opinion that entered the ITC's filing system Friday. Pender in October issued a preliminary finding that Samsung infringed four of Apple's patents, one related to product design and three related to technology.
The infringing devices, in Pender's October ruling, include models of Samsung's Transform, Acclaim, Indulge and Intercept smartphones.
On Friday, Pender issued his remedy for the infringement, including a U.S. import ban that would begin after the 60-day presidential review period that follows a final ITC decision. In addition, Pender recommended a cease-and-desist order that would ban the sale of any commercially significant quantities of the allegedly infringing products that have already been imported.
"I find that the evidence shows more likely than not that Samsung maintains a commercially significant inventory of imported infringing accused products in the United States," Pender said in his opinion.
The remedy also includes the requirement for Samsung to post a bond of 88 percent of the value of all infringing mobile phones, 32.5 percent of the value of all infringing media players, and 37.6 percent of the value of all infringing tablet devices during the presidential review period.
However, Samsung still might be able to sell at least some of the products involved in the complaint. Pender has approved several Samsung workarounds -- or "designarounds" -- and if those designs are "legally safe but also technically adequate and commercially viable, Samsung can keep importing and selling," according to patent expert Florian Mueller in his FOSS patents blog.
In addition, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is re-examining several Apple patents, and in a preliminary ruling has already rejected a touchscreen patent involved in the ITC complaint.
The judge's recommendations also must be approved by the six-member ITC Commission.
Neither Samsung nor Apple were immediately available for comment.
Apple filed the complaint against Samsung last summer, after Samsung had filed a similar patent complaint against Apple. The ITC inquiry is part of a broader patent battle. In perhaps the most significant case, a California jury this summer decided Samsung should pay Apple US$1.05 billion for infringing its patents. Samsung is appealing that decision.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

about me
"The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time"...
Each day I'm always looking for ways to challenge myself, whether it's learning a new skill, meeting knew people, coming up with new (and sometimes absurd) ways to make money, or reading up about something that I never had any idea about.
My biggest passion is food, hence my life has pointed me towards working in restaurants. I'm now managing a restaurant having just wrapped up my own food venture which I ended last year. Being in the industry I'm in has also sparked interest in both beer and wine.
When I'm not working I like to catch up with family or friends, go out for 1, 2, 3 or 4 coffees, go for a bike ride, sometimes just go for a long walk, have a friendly game of tennis, or going for a swim at the beach. I love having a good laugh so if it's not with friends I'll hit up a comedy night. Cooking is something I do as much as I can, and it doesn't get better for me than when I'm cooking for others. Right now I'm going through a bit of an Ottolenghi cooking phase, much to the delight of my house mates!
In my down time I will try to watch a movie or catch up on one of the many TV series' that are pouring out of America. Planning a night in with some takeaway Indian, a beer and a bottle of wine, and watching Game of Thrones sometimes is all I want, and damn it's good.

What I'm looking for
Looking for someone who will share similar interests with me. I'm big on doing more travelling, even if it means dropping everything and setting abroad for an indefinite amount of time. I want to be with someone who won't take themselves too seriously and can have a laugh at their own expense.
- Female, for a relationship or dating
My interests
- Music
- I really do listen to quite a broad range of music. Phillip Glass produces some soothing "occasion" music. Have also just discovered that I love listening to classical while driving. Love old alternative, some jazz, instrumental hip hop, or some grunge/metal/alternative rock'n'roll...
- Reading
- I like to say "The House of Leaves" as it might make me look clever but the truth is I have no idea what the book meant! Anything by Michel Houellebecq and Brett Easton Ellis or books on beer, wine and food. Generally I buy more than I read...
- Movies & TV
- Am following the trend of liking anything by HBO or AMC i.e. Breaking Bad, True Blood, The Walking Dead etc boring I know but they're just so addictive! Love foreign films especially Korean movies mainly because of their sense of humour.
- Sport
- Many ambitions but little execution. Bike riding is my biggie (mainly MTB), followed by tennis, then swimming (this may just include a splash at the beach). Not really big on cricket or football but I don't mind hitting up a game to be social, plus it's usually a good atmosphere.

"We are looking at setting up eight more reserves as part of the tiger conservation efforts," Union Environment and Forests Minister Jairam Ramesh said here on Friday.
"The new reserves would include one in the Satyamangalam forests in Tamil Nadu, besides Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa."
The national tiger census report should also be available in within the next 15 days, he said speaking at a function held at WWF-India here, ahead of the International Tiger Forum, which is being hosted by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin at St. Petersburg from November 21 to 24.
The Minister introduced India's Youth Tiger Ambassadors who will represent the country at the International Youth Summit being held alongside the high-level government meeting on tiger conservation. The Forum will commit conservation and rehabilitation of tigers to global action.
The Youth Summit will take place from November 19 to 24 at Vladivostok, home to the Amur Tiger. The involvement of youth at this important meeting is aimed at drawing attention to the importance of tiger conservation. WWF-India has selected students Anusha Shankar and Devanshu Sood to represent India at the summit.
They will be part of a delegation comprising representatives from all tiger ranges countries. The youth ambassadors will visit Siberian tiger trails and get a first-hand account of the state of wild tiger populations in Russia and measures being taken for their conservation. They will also develop a youth declaration on conservation, which will be presented to the Tiger Forum via videoconference between Vladivostok and St. Petersburg.
Pledge of support
Before embarking on their journey to Russia, both tiger ambassadors signed a pledge, in the presence of Mr. Ramesh, of support to the cause of conservation. Anusha Shankar, a student of M.Sc Ecology and Environmental Science at Pondicherry University, said: "The natural world has always fascinated me. I decided long ago to pursue this passion professionally. The Youth Tiger Summit is a great opportunity for me to contribute to tiger conservation initiatives; I believe that the onus is on the youth to build a better tomorrow. It is our responsibility to develop a future that is better than the past, and I intend to use innovative and creative ways to spread awareness about this."
Devanshu Sood, a student of Class XI at Shriram School, Gurgaon, has been a core member of his school's Junior Tiger Task Force for the past eight years. He says that being part of the tiger conservation programme has been a life-changing experience. "I feel that the youth are the future of the tiger, and I will continue to spread awareness of tiger conservation to the best of my capacity."
