Software development 20 years from now
Jan 20th
<Pomax> 20 years from now, someone is going to have the radical idea to give users access to the underlying OS, rather than to the browser API, and he will be heralded a revolutionary.
<Pomax> All manner of programming languages will pop up that work outside "the browser", giving access to "offline" applications, storing files in "user space", even perhaps running in something called "kernel mode".
<Pomax> It'll be a brave new world.
<Mirell> It's scary that's believable.

- Google released an Apache module that auto tunes performance
Google has announced that they are launching a module for the Apache HTTP server called mod_pagespeed, that will automatically tune several properties to optimize page load speed. I haven't tried it out yet, but will definitely do so.
Amongst other things, mod_pagespeed will:- recompress images
- modify cache lifetime for static elements
- make changes to pages built by CMS
I don't know if I'll see a great performance on this server, as I already took care of a lot of speed improvements myself, but this module is a great way to implement common best-practices without having to dig into Apache's configuration too much.
Read more and download the module on the Page Speed Google Code website. - Facebook Mobile Announcements
Just a short summary of what Facebook announced yesterday, there's already tons of coverage out there:- Facebook for iPhone updated (as I hoped in my tweet just minutes before the event started).
- Facebook for Android updated.
- Single Sign-On for mobile platforms.
So you don't have to deal with entering your password in every app that uses Facebook connect. - Facebook Places API Update. Full read and write access for third parties.
- Deals. This sounds kind of like Groupon mixed with Foursquare.
Could be very interesting, once it reaches the critical mass of user adoption. - No dedicated iPad App in the near future.
Although I've read about speculations of a HTML5 based website/app that could offer the same experience on multiple tablet based platforms.

- Myspace Accused Of Ripping Off Stealth Startup Pinterest
This morning Pinterest co-founders Ben Silberman, Paul Sciarra and Yashwanth Nelapati woke up to a barrage of tweets, �??So @myspace has completely ripped off @pinterest. It really pisses me off when an old, tired hack tries to undermine hardworking inovators. [sic]�?? Myspace revealed its new redesign last night and Pinterest users quickly picked up on the similarities between the two site aesthetics, leading to an intense Twitter debate. - Sencha Takes On Flash With HTML5 Animator
Sencha is making a big bet on HTML5. The company, which was formerly known as Ext JS, raised a hefty $14 million round led by Sequoia Capital in June. Since then it has been perfecting its HTML5 framework Sencha Touch �?? a framework that lets you build mobile web apps for iOS and Android that feel almost native and are also cross-platform. And today, the company is adding another big addition to its product suite: Sencha Animator. - Flickr takes a Twitter cue; introduces suggested friends and Facebook contacts
Given that, from the start, Flickr was intended to be a social photo sharing platform, the latest move from the company comes as no surprise.
According to the Flickr blog, the site is introducing a People You May Know feature. - Apple holding "secret summit" with select iOS devs next week
Business Insider is reporting that Apple is set to hold a secret iOS developer summit next week. The event apparently begins next Tuesday and will run for three days. While Business Insider doesn't have any firm details yet, they speculate that the purpose of the summit is to improve the quality of apps on iOS devices in order to stave off competition from Google's Android App Store. - Google makes some design changes to Gmail in mobile Safari
The first change is a that scrolling now mimics the speed of your swiping on the screen, making longer messages easier to read through. The second change is that the toolbars within Gmail are now locked while you scroll (they used to appear after you were finished scrolling).

Brain Development of 29 Day Old Embryo
The cerebral cortex--the most prominent feature when we think of a human brain--derives from the forebrain. This region is responsible for reason, planning, emotion, and problem solving, and by the end of the second trimester it is the primary visible structure. If you examine the surface of the cerebral cortex, you'll see convoluted folds; the raised surfaces are known as gyri and the "trenches" are sulci. These irregular folds provide greater surface area for cell-to-cell communication and interaction, increasing the brain's complexity.

Juliette Binoche
Juliette Binoche, (born March 9, 1964, Paris, France), French actress, widely regarded as one of film's most respected actresses for the intelligence she brought to her complex and varied roles.
Binoche's father was a sculptor and a theatre director, and her mother was a teacher and an actress. After completing her general education, she studied acting at the Paris Conservatoire and received private instruction from Vera Gregh, a renowned teacher of film acting. During the late 1970s Binoche appeared onstage in Paris, and in the first half of the 1980s she acted in small film roles and on French television. Her first breakthrough came through renowned director Jean-Luc Godard, who wrote into the screenplay of his Je vous salue, Marie (1985; Hail Mary) a part expressly for her.
In 1986 Binoche won the Romy Schneider Prize, awarded by French journalists to the outstanding actress of the year, for her portrayal of Nina, a provincial woman aspiring to be an actress in Paris, in André Téchiné's Rendez-vous (1985). She made two films with the French director Léos Carax, Mauvais sang (1986; Bad Blood) and Les Amants du Pont-Neuf (1991; Lovers on the Pont-Neuf), over the next few years. In 1988 she earned international acclaim as a woman married to a philanderer in The Unbearable Lightness of Being, her first English-language film. Binoche's performance was highlighted by her ability to relate a range of emotions without speaking or falling into cliché.
Binoche experienced a great deal of success in the United States throughout the 1990s and 2000s. She won an Academy Award for best supporting actress for her portrayal of Hana, a French Canadian nurse stationed in Italy during World War II, in The English Patient (1996). She starred in the successful romantic comedy Chocolat (2000), playing opposite Johnny Depp, and later appeared in both French- and English-language films, including the thriller Caché (2005; Hidden), the family dramas Bee Season (2005) and L'Heure d'été (2008; Summer Hours), and the comedy Dan in Real Life (2007). Additionally, Binoche made a cameo in the experimental film Shīrīn (2008) and starred in the romantic drama Copie conforme (2010; Certified Copy), both of which were directed by Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami. She later appeared as a journalist in both the action thriller The Son of No One (2011) and the drama Elles (2011), and she had a supporting role in David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis (2012).

A.Dave Utterback responds: The short joist hanger nails supplied by hanger manufacturers come in 8d and 10d shank size (10d is the minimum you should use for framing) and are 1 1/2 inches long. They're designed to attach the hanger to the joist without protruding through the other side of the joist.
You may also use them to attach the hanger to the beam where the hanger allows the use of a 10d or 12d nail ( usually single joist hangers), but if you do so you can only use 77% of the hanger's rated load capacity. These short joist hanger nails may not be substituted for nails in double-shear hangers or for face-nails on skewed hangers.

Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish celebration, kicks off tonight. For those who don't know too much about the major celebration, here is a beginner's guide to the "festival of lights."
Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish celebration, kicks off tonight. For those who don't know too much about the major celebration, here is a beginner's guide to the "festival of lights."
What it is: Hanukkah starts on the 25th of Kislev, the ninth month of the Jewish calendar. The day signifies the victory of the ancient Israelites over the Syrian Greeks in a years-long war, breaking away from the Hasmonean Empire around 300 B.C. The triumph allowed the Israelites to recapture their defiled Temple.
In the Temple, they found a vial of oil, enough to burn in the candelabra for one day and night. But the oil persevered for eight.
"Hence the miracle of the lights," said Rabbi Ron Kopelman of Temple Beth El in Herkimer.
The menorah and the candles: Each of the eight nights of Hanukkah is represented by a single candle in the candelabra, or menorah. The menorah has nine holders, one for each candle lit at night and another for the shamash – the "servant Messiah" candle – the one that ignites the others throughout the holiday.
There are usually prayers said with each lighting, and perhaps a song or two will surface. "Other than that, there's not a whole lot of customs with it," Kopelman said.
The dreidel: In its history, the four-sided top was less of a toy. Instead, it was a way for Israelite sages to escape persecution.
"If the Syrian Greeks were to catch them studying the holy books, (the sages) would pull that dreidel out and start playing with it so they wouldn't be in violation of Syrian laws," he said.
Today, children play with the dreidel as a game of chance, pooling coins and candies together. Each letter on the dreidel's four sides has a different meaning and can make you a winner or a loser.
The food: Partaking in Hanukkah also means digging into traditional foods, many of them cooked in oil, Kopelman said.
"Almost any kind of oily food, usually not good for you, it's OK on Hanukkah," Kopelman said.
Some of the foods traditionally served include potato pancakes called latkes, sugar doughnuts and dairy products.
The gifts: Gift-giving during Hanukkah varies from family to family, Kopelman said. Small gifts may be handed out each night, or the holiday could bring with it a single larger gift.
Gifts haven't always been part of the holiday, though, he said. That aspect came around because of another gift-laden holiday around the same time: Christmas.
"It's not so much a blend of the two holidays, but it's more copying," he said. "Everybody in the United States gives gifts around here, why not us too?"

Vudattu, Nalini K and Holler, Ernst and Ewing, Patricia and Schulz, Ute and Haffner, Silvia and Burger, Verena and Kirchner, Silvia and Andreesen, Reinhard and Eissner, Günther (2005) Reverse signalling of membrane-integrated tumour necrosis factor differentially regulates alloresponses of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells against human microvascular endothelial cells. Immunology 115 (4), pp. 536-43.
Full text not available from this repository.
Reverse signalling of membrane-integrated ligands is a common phenomenon in the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) family and contributes to the pleiotropy of this pro-inflammatory cytokine and to the plasticity of the immune system in general. Transmembrane TNF (mTNF) itself can induce resistance to bacterial endotoxin in monocytes and can stimulate the immune activity of mitogen-activated, as well as of virus-infected, T cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of reverse signalling of mTNF on the allogeneic activity of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells against human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC), as targets of various inflammatory responses. The proliferative potential of CD4+ T cells towards HMEC was attenuated by mTNF signalling, whereas stimulation of mTNF on CD8+ T cells increased their cytotoxic potential against HMEC. These effects were specific for reverse signalling of mTNF, as a blockade of the classical TNF-TNF receptor interaction by a neutralizing TNF receptor antibody had no effect. Cytokine profiling of the effector cells revealed that the anti-endothelial CD4+ T cells were of a T helper 2 (Th2) phenotype, whereas CD8+ T cells mainly produced cytotox. T cell 1 (Tc1) cytokines. From the results obtained in this study, we conclude that reverse signalling of mTNF differentially modulates CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell activity against allogeneic endothelial cells, which should be taken into account in settings of therapeutic cytokine antagonisms.

(Sports Network) - The Indiana Pacers will try to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals Friday night when they visit the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena.
Home-court advantage has been the storyline in this series. The home team has won each game and each time, the margin of victory has been 10 points or greater.
All nine meetings this season, including the four in the regular season, have gone to the home team.
Indiana moved within one game of the next round on Wednesday with a 106-83 thrashing of the Hawks.
Now, the series shifts back to Atlanta and that is bad news for the Pacers. Not only has Indiana dropped both games down south in the postseason, they've dropped 13 in a row in Georgia and haven't won there since 2006.
"I think psychologically, you can't look at 13 in a row. You can't look at we've lost two in a row," explained Pacers coach Frank Vogel. "I think you just got to look at the fact that they play a different brand of basketball at home. They are really, really good at home. Obviously we made some adjustments that hopefully will pour some sand on the fire to what they did to us down there."
The Pacers played brilliantly on Wednesday. They brought the defensive tenacity that saw them finish in the top of the league in both points allowed and opponents' field-goal percentage.
In Game 5, Indiana held the Hawks to 83 points, a series-low for Atlanta, and 33 percent shooting.
The Hawks were whistled for five technical fouls.
"It was going to be a situation where we were going to have to earn this win," said Hawks coach Larry Drew. "In order to do that, we would have to maintain our composure throughout the game. We did not do that."
Indiana got David West on track in Game 5. The veteran bruiser had 24 points, but the whole Pacers frontline was strong. Most Improved Player Paul George had 21 points and 10 rebounds and Roy Hibbert added 18 points and nine boards.
George Hill enjoyed a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists and Lance Stephenson grabbed 12 rebounds.
The Hawks changed the complexion of the series in Atlanta when Drew inserted Johan Petro into the starting lineup. That move sent Al Horford to the power forward spot and Josh Smith to the three-spot.
The move didn't pay many dividends in Game 5. Horford and Smith both had 14 points and Petro only managed five points. Devin Harris and Kyle Korver both scored in double figures for the Hawks.
Atlanta is back home and the Pacers know recent history is not on their side.
"We just have to fight. We can't have those spells on somebody else's floor," said West. "In four-six minutes we're turning the ball over and giving them extra opportunities. We've got to be able to go in there and handle that environment and control the basketball game by setting the tone defensively."
If needed, Game 7 will be Sunday in Indiana.

I think Sophia is beautiful despite her popularity. Have you thought of having Sophia as a middle name? Sophia could be a lovely middle name choice and a great compromise. I think Sophia as a middle name is really refreshing. Out of all the names I think Anna, Caroline, Clara, Helena, Rosemary and Madeline are gorgeous choices. If you were going to have Sophia as a potential middle name I would go with...
Caroline Sophia
Rosemary Sophia
Anna Sophia
Madeline Sophia
What does he like about Sophia? Is it the sound of Sophia? The popularity? The fact that it's a well known Greek name?
Despite the suggestions I think you should compromise with Sophia as a middle name.

I'm with him -- I am so in love with Sophia!! I hate that it's popular, but I think I would use it anyway because it's just so beautiful, classic, and storied.
That said, these are the only names that came to mind as suggestions. Sorry if they've all been suggested:
Zora (can also be spelled Zorah; thought it might sound good with the "o" sound in your last name and has a similar feel to Sophia)
Silvia/Sylvia (I prefer it with the i; seems simpler and prettier)
Hope this helps -- good luck!

ESI Strategies in Action
ESI creates a professional community among schools that are committed to developing and sustaining programs and practices that support increased college and career access among Black and Latino young men. Schools are using the following frameworks to guide their professional learning:
New York City Department of Education's College and Career Readiness Benchmarks
frame schools' planning, policies, and practices so that there is a cohesive plan to build a college and career going culture for all to succeed.
Coalition of Schools Education Boys of Color (COSEBOC)
has developed a self-assessment planning tool to assist schools as they develop and enhance programs serving Black and Latino young men.
ESI Summer Bridge Program
The ESI Summer Bridge Program was an opportunity foracademic enrichment and acceleration for incoming freshmen to get a sense ofthe rigor and standards that are expected of them in high school. Researchshows that low graduation rates are driven by students who are not prepared forhigh school and have trouble transitioning to ninth grade. In addition toacademic support, Summer Bridge focused on academic and personal skills thatare essential to promoting a college-going and career readiness mindset.
Culturally Relevant Education Providers
In the 2013-2014 school year, ESI schools will focus on beginning or deepening a conversation about increasing college and career readiness among Black and Latino young men through more culturally relevant educational (CRE) practices. Watch this video to learn more about CRE providers.
Moving the Needle: Exploring Key Levers to Boost College Readiness

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking lovastatin (Altoprev)?
You should not take lovastatin if you are allergic to it, if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, or if you have liver disease.
If you have any of these other conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests:
- history of liver disease;
- history of kidney disease;
- diabetes;
- a thyroid disorder; or
- if you drink more than 2 alcoholic beverages daily.
In rare cases, lovastatin can cause a condition that results in the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, leading to kidney failure. This condition may be more likely to occur in older adults and in people who have kidney disease or poorly controlled hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).
Tell your doctor about all other medications you use. Certain other drugs can increase your risk of serious muscle problems, and it is very important that your doctor knows if you are using any of them:
- amiodarone (Cordarone, Pacerone);
- danazol (Danocrine);
- nefazodone (an antidepressant);
- verapamil (Calan, Covera, Isoptin, Verelan);
- gemfibrozil (Lopid), fenofibric acid (Fibricor, Trilipix), or fenofibrate (Antara, Fenoglide, Lipofen, Lofibra, Tricor, Triglide);
- antibiotics such as clarithromycin (Biaxin), erythromycin (E.E.S., EryPed, Ery-Tab, Erythrocin), or telithromycin (Ketek);
- antifungal medications such as itraconazole (Sporanox) or ketoconazole (Extina, Ketozole, Nizoral, Xolegal);
- HIV medications such as atazanavir (Reyataz), ritonavir (Norvir), lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra), saquinavir (Invirase), and others;
- medicines that contain niacin (Advicor, Niaspan, Niacor, Simcor, Slo-Niacin, and others); or
- drugs that weaken your immune system, such as steroids, cancer medicine, or medicines used to prevent organ transplant rejection, such as cyclosporine (Gengraf, Neoral, Sandimmune), sirolimus (Rapamune), or tacrolimus (Prograf).
FDA pregnancy category X. This medication can harm an unborn baby or cause birth defects. Do not take lovastatin if you are pregnant.Stop taking this medication and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant. Use effective birth control to avoid pregnancy while you are taking lovastatin.
Lovastatin may pass into breast milk and could harm a nursing baby. Do not breast-feed while you are taking lovastatin.
How should I take lovastatin (Altoprev)?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Lovastatin is usually taken at bedtime or with an evening meal. If you take lovastatin several times daily, take it with meals. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results.
Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow it whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
You may need to stop using lovastatin for a short time if you have surgery or a medical emergency.
To be sure this medicine is helping your condition and is not causing harmful effects, your blood will need to be tested often. Your liver function may also need to be tested. Visit your doctor regularly.
Lovastatin is only part of a complete program of treatment that also includes diet, exercise, and weight control. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely.
You may need to take lovastatin on a long-term basis for the treatment of high cholesterol.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light.

Gauge fixing using overrelaxation and simulated annealing on GPUs
We adopt CUDA-capable Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) for Coulomb, Landau and maximally Abelian gauge fixing in 3+1 dimensional SU(3) lattice gauge field theories. The local overrelaxation algorithm is perfectly suited for highly parallel architectures. Simulated annealing preconditioning strongly increases the probability to reach the global maximum of the gauge functional. We give performance results for single and double precision. To obtain our maximum performance of ~300 GFlops on NVIDIA's GTX 580 a very fine grained degree of parallelism is required due to the register limits of NVIDIA's Fermi GPUs: we use eight threads per lattice site, i.e., one thread per SU(3) matrix that is involved in the computation of a site update.
We presented a CUDA implementation for gauge fixing on the lattice based on the relaxation algorithms. In particular, our code can be used to fix gauge field configurations to Landau, Coulomb or the maximally Abelian gauges using simulated annealing, overrelaxation or stochastic relaxation. Using a fine parallelization granularity of eight CUDA threads per lattice site we achieve a maximum performance of 300 Gflops in single precision on NVIDIA's GTX 580. Comparing this to the performance of the overrelaxation algorithm as implemented in the FermiQCD library run on the Intel Core i7-950 ("Bloomfield") quadcore processor @ 3.07GHz in parallel using MPI, we find a speedup of more than 150. Our code will be available for download shortly.

"The grapes for the 2008 Avanthia Mencia are sourced from 70- and 85-year-old vineyards. The wine is barrel-fermented and then aged for 14 months in new French oak. Purple-colored, it offers up a compelling bouquet of underbrush, smoke, spice box, mulberry, plum, and blueberry that jumps from the glass. This leads to an elegantly styled wine with outstanding depth, succulent flavors, vibrant acidity, and incipient complexity." 92 Points The Wine Advocate
"Vivid ruby. Intense, oak-spiced aromas of black raspberry, cherry cola, violet and minerals, with complicating notes of cured tobacco and licorice. This very exotic wine offers sweet red and dark berry flavors mingled with Asian spice, vanilla and candied flowers. Shows no rough edges and finishes with excellent clarity and zesty persistence." 92 Points International Wine Cellar

Jean Seberg Movies and Career Information
Nov 13, 1938
Nov 13, 1938
Jean Dorothy Seberg was an American actress. She starred in 37 films in Hollywood and in Europe, including Bonjour Tristesse, Breathless, the musical Paint Your Wagon, and the disaster film Airport.
Seberg is also one of the best-known targets of the FBI COINTELPRO project. Her victimization was rendered as a well-documented retaliation for her support of civil rights and activist groups in the 1960s.
Jean Seberg died at the age of 40 of a barbiturate overdose in Paris. Her death was ruled a probable suicide.

I have linux ubuntu 10.10
and when i run the below in a terminal
php -i |grep php.ini
i got
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
while if i use phpinfo() in the browser it will be:
Loaded Configuration File /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
which means that there are different ini files according to php_sapi_name!!
now the question is how can i set the same php.ini for all user agents (browser, cli, etc) without copying the same file to different locations!?
sometimes you can have more than one php.ini to manage different interfaces or websites for example you can have different php.ini for each website you host on your server by setting PHPINIDir in your virtualhost as below <VirtualHost 10.24.11.2:80> ServerName foo.com ServerAlias www.foo.com PHPINIDir /var/www/html/foo </VirtualHost> however, if you like to make only one php.ini for all interfaces, the only way is to use symlinks as below: |
I don't think setting all the different php contexts to use the same config is a good idea in the first place but if you really want to, you could just have one php.ini and all the others be symbolic links. I don't think there is a way to change php's behavior as to which file it will include without at the very least recompiling it. |
You could use symlinks.
What about replacing one of them with a symlink? |
You can use symlinks (Apache is using this technique for sites-available and sites-enabled). So navigate to
and copy your desired php.ini file there, then navigate to cli/ and apache2/ - remove php.ini (mv or rm it) and then run
This will create a symlink to php.ini in your /etc/php5/apache2/ and /etc/php5/cli/ folders. Note: It is a good practice to have diff. php.ini files, for cli there are few extensions that are not loadable and much more. :) |

Meizu Opens Flagship Store
Earlier today, New Years Day 2009, Meizu opened their flagship store in downtown Shenzhen.
The opening event drew a large crowd many of whom went just to see the M8 phone. The few available Meizu M8 were quickly sold out and most people instead rushed to get their names on the waiting list.

This is the right way to start a new year. Now if only that license would come already..
On another note, Engadget is at it again: they just posted a picture of an apple store with the Meizu logo photoshoped inside.. Chris Ziegler is one sad douchebag.
01-02-2009 #14UnregisteredGuest
Hey guys I found more pictures:
If you think this is a coincidence you're either in denial or retarded.
But I doubt this comes as much of a surprise to people like myself who have realized that all Meizu products have adopted a style too similar of Apple's. It's not only the M8 you morons.
But why should we all be so surprised? I mean, this is a Chinese company.
01-02-2009 #15UnregisteredGuest
You're one sad douchebag too. It's quite easy to get on the 'Engadget is a blog with Apple fanboys for authors', since it's proven to be true in numerous cases (let's not name Darren Murph - whoops), but you have to be a douchebag not to realize what this company is doing.
01-02-2009 #16
Well, Steve Job's mind police certainly did a great job. Happy brainwashing.
But why should we all be so surprised? I mean, this is a Chinese company.
Besides, this is a Meizu fansite. Don't you have better things to do, or is your self-esteem so low that you have nowhere else to go?
01-02-2009 #17UnregisteredGuest
Chinese companies dont do themselves any favors
Ha ha, when I saw this post I thought it was a joke. Almost like an april fools. Given that the post was not on april first, and that this is serious, it clearly a case of cloning apple.
The cloning is not so much about the touch screen, but the store design. The glass cube is almost identical to other apple stores launched internationally. To deny this similarity is really to ignore the facts. There are two stores that look like this ... 1. Apple, 2. Meizu.
Unfortunately some Chinese companies choose to copy western companies (and their products) instead of developing something new. This is not competition, nor is it innovation. Its just theft. I dont want to make any statements about the degree to which Meizu is doing this specfically. I am saying that its a very disturbing trend. The west innovates, China copies and then usually sells back to the west. This is wrong in so many ways.
I would have more respect for Chinese companies if they took something that they saw and improved on it, but we almost never see that. The cost reductions that you see are always at the expense of the environment, breaking the rules of trade (fixed exchange rates, fixed labour rates) and not paying their working population a living wage (how many have retirement policies, medical aid and other benefits).
Its like stealing a car, living with your parents, borrowing somebody elses clothes and faking your degree and then asking for a lower salary than everyone else (in the same age and education bracket) when you start work. Sure your expenses are lower, but at what cost.
Oh and this is not an "asian" thing. There are many examples of Japanese companies who have continued to innovate and improve their products year on year for decades. In many cases they have led the way with respect to product design & features.
I wonder when the term "intellectual capital" is going to enter the Chinese phrasebook.

Copy Copy... Chinese copy American's.. American's copy Japanese ... This world is all about copying and trying to beat the patent law... its part of buisness copying what other people do best... nothing to flame or boast...
Grats on the grand opening of Meizu.....
Good Luck bringing it over to US or other place without patent/copyright lawsuits

Rebuilding started immediately after tornado struck Illinois town
By STEVE BINDER
Illinois Correspondent
HARRISBURG, Ill. — For two of Saline County's agricultural institutions, everything changed significantly during the early morning of Feb. 29, 2012.
As a tornado with wind speeds of up to 175 mph tore through the heart of Harrisburg, the buildings housing the Saline County Farm Bureau and the Southern Farm Supply Co-op along West Robinson Street took substantial beatings.
A year later, the institutions are back in business under new and rebuilt facilities, and a sense of gratification that the loss of life and property damage wasn't worse.
"Don't get me wrong; nothing about what happened that morning and shortly after was something I'd wish on anyone, but in a small, small way we were lucky," said Danny Evans, longtime manager of the Co-op. "People were killed, and we took a big old hit, that's for sure, but it could have been even worse."
Eight people died from the storm and a total of 426 residences and 33 businesses sustained some form of damage – 104 homes and 10 businesses were destroyed – at an estimated loss of approximately $9 million.
Most of the damage occurred within the city limits of Harrisburg, but the tornado also hit small areas of nearby Ridgeway and parts of four other southern Illinois counties. This damage preceded similar storms that struck southern Indiana and northern Kentucky three days later, leaving 35 people dead.
Evans' business took one of the hardest hits during the Harrisburg tornado: it lost two large grain bins, a maintenance facility and its main store. Within the first few days, he said, farming friends helped co-op workers haul out 21 tractor trailer loads of goods to nearby facilities.
"We saved about $750,000 worth of fuels, seed and fertilizer thanks to all the help we received, and I'll never forget that," Evans said.
He now works inside a new main store, and will oversee a new bulk oil distribution plant and fueling center. Total damage just to the co-op came in at about $1.2 million, Evans said. Insurance picked up about $900,000.
Up the street at the Saline County Farm Bureau, the agency's brick building survived mostly intact, but it needed a new roof. Before the work was completed, and during heavy rains two days after the tornado, the building's interior sustained substantial water damage, said Manager Jody Hughes.
Costs to replace the roof, furniture, carpeting and some equipment totaled about $100,000, she added. "The roof was the main issue for us, and then the water damage. The tornado really was limited mostly to just in town, so a lot of our farmers didn't report much damage at all," Hughes said.
Farmers in Saline County were able to get off to a great start last planting season, but they – like many others in the Midwest – suffered the effects of drought.
"We've got our fingers crossed this year," Hughes said. "Lord knows we need a break, right?"

Tariff Choice with Consumer Learning: Sorting-Induced Biases and Illusive Surplus
Firms often offer menus of two-part tariffs to price discriminate among consumers with heterogeneous preferences. In this paper we study the effectiveness of this screening mechanism when consumers are uncertain about the quality of the good and resolve this uncertainty through consumption experiences. We use consumer-level data to estimate a dynamic structural model of forward-looking consumers with heterogeneous demands, both ex-ante and ex-post, for an experience good sold by a monopolist offering a fixed menu of two-part tariffs. Our analysis highlights three elements that influence consumer behavior and affect pricing strategies: beliefs, experiential learning, and switching costs. We test the rational expectations assumption against a weaker assumption about beliefs that retains unbiasedness, on average across all consumers, but allows beliefs to be biased conditional on tariff choice. The rational expectations assumption is rejected: consumers on flat fee tariffs tend to have optimistic priors whereas consumers on per-use tariffs tend to have pessimistic priors. If switching costs are sufficiently high, this sorting-induced bias implies that flat fee tariffs can yield high profits for the firm even after optimistic consumers revise their beliefs. This dynamic lock-in effect of flat fees augments their traditional role in static settings of extracting consumer surplus. Biased priors also lead to biased expectations of consumer surplus. Realized surplus is on average negative, despite expectations of a large and positive discounted lifetime surplus.Download Info

Excerpted From
Karma and Reincarnation by Paramhansa Yogananda
How to Transcend Your Karma
By Bharat Cornell
In his book Karma and Reincarnation, Paramhansa Yogananda shares the following story to show how we can free ourselves from the laws of karma:
Once upon a time a powerful emperor of a country got drunk. Disguised, he went into a tavern belonging to his estate and in a quarrel broke another man's leg. The innkeeper took him to a judge who had been appointed to his post by the king. As the judge was about to pass sentence, the king suddenly threw off his disguise and exclaimed, "I am the king who appointed you as the judge, and I have the power to throw you into prison. How dare you convict me?"
Our first reaction upon hearing this story might be to say, Who does the emperor think he is?! How arrogant of him to feel he is above the laws of society and of human decency. But Paramhansa Yogananda said we can escape the law of karma by identifying ourselves with God. As children of God, our birthright is much more exalted than an emperor's lineage. We are Divine Light. Let us awake to this wondrous truth.
Paramhansa Yogananda said, Practice the meditation techniques; I can help you through them. Meditation withdraws our consciousness from outwardness and limitation and offers it into Spirit. Sri Yogananda said, To know God is to love Him. The more we know God, the more we will experience the luminous beauty of our soul. Fully awake to our divine nature, we will be finally free from the laws of karma and creation.
Read the following excerpts from Karma and Reincarnation to gain a deeper understanding of how you can transcend the law of karma through meditation.
Excerpts from Karma and Reincarnation
Who would not like a reprieve from the consequences of his own wrong deeds? Few people, however, are willing to do what is necessary to win such a reprieve. For it is not pleading that can free us from the grinding wheel of justice. Cosmic Law is mathematical in its precision. The way to escape its decrees is to live in divine consciousness.
The more we live guided from within, the greater our control over outer events. For when we live at our own center, in superconsciousness, we live in the only true freedom there is. In soul-consciousness we are no longer helplessly controlled by habits and desires. To the extent, then, that we develop soul-consciousness, we free ourselves from karmic slavery.
The Divine is above the law. The closer we live to God, the less His law will be able to affect us.
Instead of accepting fatalistically the decrees of karma, follow the inner way to freedom. Meditate daily. Commune deeply with God. Learn from Him, through the silent voice of intuition, the way out of soul-degrading serfdom to habits.
Make it a point always to keep your most important of all engagements: your daily appointment with the Lord. Twice daily, enter the inner silence.
Life is glorious; life is beautiful, if you will only find God beneath the debris of matter. God is hidden behind the moon and the sun and the stars. There is no other way to uncover God except by real devotion and meditation.
Blissful soul-expansion brings with it increasing dominion — not only over one's own self, but over all matter.
Every day, resurrect yourself in meditation. Let your evil habits, indifference, and restlessness die daily. Resurrection means relaxation, to relax your awareness from your body and mind in meditation.
You do not know what joy lies beyond the screen of the subconscious mind. If you do away with the restlessness and sensations of the body, sit quietly, and say: In the Heaven of Silence, O God, be born within me, then on the altar of silence He will come.
The joy of God is indescribable — joy that no changing dream of life and death can ever take away from you.

Acyl-Phosphates Initiate Membrane Phospholipid Synthesis in Gram-Positive Pathogens
Molecular Cell, Volume 23, Issue 5, 1 September 2006, Pages 765-772
Ying-Jie Lu, Yong-Mei Zhang, Kimberly D. Grimes, Jianjun Qi, Richard E. Lee and Charles O. Rock
SummaryIt is not known how Gram-positive bacterial pathogens carry out glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) acylation, which is the first step in the formation of phosphatidic acid, the key intermediate in membrane phospholipid synthesis. In Escherichia coli, acylation of the 1-position of G3P is carried out by PlsB; however, the majority of bacteria lack a plsB gene and in others it is not essential. We describe a two-step pathway that utilizes a new fatty acid intermediate for the initiation of phospholipid formation. First, PlsX produces a unique activated fatty acid by catalyzing the synthesis of fatty acyl-phosphate from acyl-acyl carrier protein, and then PlsY transfers the fatty acid from acyl-phosphate to the 1-position of G3P. The PlsX/Y pathway defines the most widely distributed pathway for the initiation of phospholipid formation in bacteria and represents a new target for the development of antibacterial therapeutics.

All fatty acids are not equal: discrimination in plant membrane lipids
Trends in Plant Science, Volume 5, Issue 3, 1 March 2000, Pages 95-101
Anthony A Millar, Mark A Smith and Ljerka Kunst
AbstractPlant membrane lipids are primarily composed of 16-carbon and 18-carbon fatty acids containing up to three double bonds. By contrast, the seed oils of many plant species contain fatty acids with significantly different structures. These unusual fatty acids sometimes accumulate to >90% of the total fatty acid content in the seed triacylglycerols, but are generally excluded from the membrane lipids of the plant, including those of the seed. The reasons for their exclusion and the mechanisms by which this is achieved are not completely understood. Here we discuss recent research that has given new insights into how plants prevent the accumulation of unusual fatty acids in membrane lipids, and how strict this censorship of membrane composition is. We also describe a transgenic experiment that resulted in an excessive buildup of unusual fatty acids in cellular membranes, and clearly illustrated that the control of membrane lipid composition is essential for normal plant growth and development.

SummaryMutations in 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate-O-acyltransferase 2 (AGPAT2) cause congenital generalized lipodystrophy. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the metabolic complications associated with AGPAT2 deficiency, Agpat2 null mice were generated. Agpat2−/− mice develop severe lipodystrophy affecting both white and brown adipose tissue, extreme insulin resistance, diabetes, and hepatic steatosis. The expression of lipogenic genes and rates of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis were increased ∼4-fold in Agpat2−/− mouse livers. The mRNA and protein levels of monoacylglycerol acyltransferase isoform 1 were markedly increased in the livers of Agpat2−/− mice, suggesting that the alternative monoacylglycerol pathway for triglyceride biosynthesis is activated in the absence of AGPAT2. Feeding a fat-free diet reduced liver triglycerides by ∼50% in Agpat2−/− mice. These observations suggest that both dietary fat and hepatic triglyceride biosynthesis via a monoacylglycerol pathway may contribute to hepatic steatosis in Agpat2−/− mice.

Enzyme-containing liposomes can endogenously produce membrane-constituting lipids
Roger Wick and Pier Luigi Luisi∗,
ETH-Zentrum, Institut für Polymere, Universitätstrasse 6, CH-8092 Zürich, Switzerland
- Background: 'Giant vesicles' are liposomes that have diameters of several micrometers. It is possible to microinject biochemicals into a single vesicle and follow the progress of a chemical reaction in real time by light microscopy. We have previously used this technique to inject phospholipase A2 into giant vesicles; the vesicles disappeared as their components were hydrolyzed. Here we investigate whether the lipid components of a vesicle can be synthesized inside it.Results: Giant vesicles composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and palmitoyl-CoA were prepared in a solution containing sn-glycerol-3-phosphate. Microinjection of the enzyme sn-glycerol-3-phosphate-acyltransferase into the vesicle catalyzes the in situ production of the lipid membrane precursor 1-palm itoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate, which remains incorporated in the membrane. The altered membrane chemistry causes shrinkage of the vesicle and formation of smaller liposomes on the inner surface at the site of injection. Similar transformations were seen when the enzyme was added to the outside of the vesicle.Conclusion: We have used the first step of the 'salvage pathway' for synthesis of POPC to demonstrate that it is possible to localize the synthesis of a lipid membrane precursor inside a giant vesicle. In the future it may be possible to combine the necessary enzymes and substrates to carry out the reactions for a complete metabolic pathway within a liposome.
