Who was the first President to use technology to sign a bill into law from afar?
If you have been following my Presidential technology series and noticed that I have asked some trick questions, this question's answer is straightforward.
The Huffington Post reports, "On Wednesday evening President Obama signed Congress' new fiscal cliff bill into law while on vacation in Hawaii. Just how did the POTUS accomplish this? With the help of the handy 'autopen.'"
The autopen works by copying a signer's pen strokes and storing them for use when the signer is not present.
Watch this video to see the pen in action:
This was not the first time President Obama used the autopen (he has used it at least three times), nor is he the first President to use such a device. Over 200 years ago, President Thomas Jefferson was partial to using a machine called the polygraph. Invented by John Isaac Hawkins, the machine wrote with a second pencil whatever the first was writing. By 1809 Jefferson wrote that "the use of the polygraph has spoiled me for the old copying press the copies of which are hardly ever legible. . . . I could not, now therefore, live without the Polygraph."
In the present day, because President Obama uses it, the autopen is a rather powerful device. "I always heard the autopen was the second-most guarded thing in the White House after the president," said Jack Shock, Bill Clinton's director of presidential letters and messages, according to the Associated Press.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The national agency investigating a massive explosion last December in Sissonville won't have its final report ready on time thanks to the partial federal government shutdown.
The National Transportation Safety Board announced the delayed release Tuesday.
"The final report on the December 11, 2012, natural gas pipeline rupture and explosion has been delayed," NTSB officials wrote in a press release.
"The Board Members will consider the draft report before the end of the calendar year, but it will not be deliberated on December 3 at the previously scheduled Board Meeting."
The explosion sent a torrent of fire into the air and across a hillside along a stretch of Interstate 77 near Sissonville. Homes were leveled and several road signs were charred, but no serious injuries were reported in the midday blast and ensuing fire.
Days after the explosion, an NTSB official told reporters the Columbia Gas Transmission line was too thin. In some places, the 20-inch diameter line was less than 0.1 inches thick.
The NTSB included this information in an initial report. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., organized a January special meeting in Charleston of the Senate Commerce Committee to discuss the issue. Rockefeller chairs the committee. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va, also attended the meeting.
In June, the NTSB released hundreds of documents connected to its investigation into the explosion. The potential cause and other conclusions about the explosion are expected in the final report, though.
In late September Republicans in the GOP-controlled House refused to support a measure to fund the government unless it also stripped money from the Affordable Care Act, also known as "Obamacare."
President Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Senate said that was a non-starter. With no funding bill, the federal government greatly reduced services and sent hundreds of thousands of employees home starting Oct. 1.
The shutdown ended Oct. 16, but 383 of the total 405 NTSB employees were furloughed during that time, according to the press release. Many federal and state agencies have announced the funding hiatus will affect their services moving forward.
Investigations into a May train wreck in Connecticut, a July plane crash-landing in San Francisco and others were also delayed by the shutdown, according to the release.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama lovingly praised her husband Tuesday night in a prime-time Democratic Convention speech as a devoted husband and caring father at home and a ''man we can trust'' to revive the nation's weak economy as president, beckoning the country to return him to the White House despite agonizingly slow recovery from recession.
''He reminds me that we are playing a long game here ... and that change is hard, and change is slow and it never happens all at once,'' she told a nation impatient with slow economic progress and persistently high unemployment of 8.3 percent. ''But eventually, we get there, we always do,'' she said in a speech that blended scenes from 23 years of marriages with the Obamas' time in the White House.
Mrs. Obama, given a huge ovation and describing herself as the ''mom in chief,'' made no mention of Republican challenger Mitt Romney. But those who preceded her to the podium on the first night of the president's convention were scathing.
''If Mitt were president, he'd fire the reindeer and outsource the elves,'' declared former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland in one biting speech.
Tapped to deliver the keynote address, San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro said Romney was a millionaire politician who ''quite simply, doesn't get it'' when it comes to the needs of the middle class. Referring to the Republican's support for mandatory health insurance when he was governor of Massachusetts, he added, ''Gov. Romney has undergone an extreme makeover, and it ain't pretty.''
Polls made the race for the White House a tight one, almost certain to be decided in a string of eight or 10 battleground states where neither the president nor Romney holds a clear advantage. There was ample evidence during the day of an underperforming economy, including a report that said manufacturing activity declined for a third straight month and an announcement from the Treasury that the government's debt exceeded $16 trillion at the close of the business day.
There was no end to the appeals for donations to Obama's re-election campaign, falling further behind Romney in cash on hand with each passing month. ''If you think Barack's the right man for the job, please show your support with a donation of $5 or more today,'' the first lady emailed supporters a little more than 90 minutes before her speech.
She walked out to the crowd's cheers as the band played Stevie Wonder's ''Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours,'' the song he sang onstage at Obama's Denver convention ifour years ago.
The president was back home in the White House after a campaign appearance in Virginia as delegates cheered every mention of his name from the convention podium. He promised he'd be watching on television when his wife spoke.
''Believe it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage,'' she told the convention. ''We were so young, so in love and so in debt.''
She confided that at family dinners in the White House with her and their daughters, the president joins in ''strategizing about middle school friendships.''
Mrs. Obama's poll numbers are better than her husband's, and her speech was aimed at building support for him, much as Ann Romney's remarks at last week's Republican National Convention were in service to her husband's presidential ambitions.
''When it comes to rebuilding our economy, Barack is thinking about folks like my dad — who worked at a municipal water plant — and his own grandmother, a bank secretary,'' the first lady said.
Referring to her own children as well as those of others, she said, ''If we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility, that belief that here in America there is always something better out there if you are willing to work for it, then we must ... stand together for the man we can trust to keep moving this great country forward, my husband, our president, President Barack Obama.''
The weak economy hung over the convention as it dominates the election.
Obama ''knows better than anyone there's more hard work to do'' to fix it said Castro. He said that after the deep recession, the nation is making progress ''despite incredible odds and united Republican opposition.''
He declared that 4.5 million jobs have been created since the president took office — though that number refers only to private sector employment gains over the past 29 months and leaves out state and local government jobs that continue to disappear each month.Continued...

Thank you for reading DVD Catalyst Newsletter 97.
Again, this entire week I spent the majority of my time on the new website. As I mentioned in the last few newsletters, I'm redoing the website, and I am trying to make it as easy as possible for people to find the information they are looking for. More on that later.
Aside from the website, I've been working on an update for DVD Catalyst to go with it, which, aside from updated website links in the actual application will also include a large amount of additional device profiles, both high-profile as well as some of the more obscure, lesser-known brands and models.
Lets start with this weeks tech news:
Tech News:
Last night, Samsung announced its new flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S4. The last couple of weeks (months even) speculation and rumors about it have been building up all over the internet, but finally the cat is out of the bag.
Looking at the photo's of it on various tech-sites, the S4 looks nice, but it resembles the S3 in many ways, making it, especially considering that many companies are finally getting their Galaxy S3 look-a-likes out, just another phone in the mix, which might be a let-down for some people. I'm not much flashy myself, but I'm sure that there are quite a few people who, when using a top-of-the-line phone want it to stand out a bit.
The specs are solid, with a 1080p HD screen, 8-core processor, plenty of ram, storage and a memory expansion slot. Of course expected, so nothing really new here either, and it seems that Samsung simply pulled an "Apple" by just upgrading what they have, rather than starting from scratch.
But this time, Samsung didn't put all the focus on matching/beating specs of the competition, but instead invested in the added functionality. Camera, GPS, NFC, HD, etc, all that can be had now and next week someone else will come out with something better, but the actual user experience, the way people use and interact with these services, that is where they can make the difference.
With the S4, the Smartphone turn into a mobile companion (or moving towards Tricorder territory). Special camera features, with the ability to record from the front and back camera at the same time, health-functionality by means of tracking your walks/steps, scale/heart monitor accessories, translator functionality and much more. These features by themselves have been around for a while in the form of apps, however, Samsung is the first to integrate them all into a single device. It makes sense though. While the iPad had a big hand in it, cell phones played their part in killing off the walkman and Discman music devices, with the inclusion of camera's, cell phones took over the popularity of digital cameras, and when GPS was added, they reduced sales of stand-alone GPS devices considerably. All these added features pushed the cell phone into a dominant role in our lives, and to have these devices tie offer more to compliment our lives is a natural progression of technology.
With Samsung's big day behind us, the next big thing will be up to Apple. Rumors of an iPad Mini 2, with Retina display, and the iPad 5 are already floating around. With the Samsung vs Apple ordeal still going strong, Apple might be looking at Intel to build the processors for the new iPad (and iPhone) line-up (Atom-based processor?, GMA-based graphics?) which might be an interesting combination. One thing that will be likely is that the iPad Mini 2 and iPad 5 will be mainly a spec upgrade (faster cpu, higher resolution screen, more memory maybe), considering Apple has been playing it quite safe the last couple of years.
Google started to remove ad blocker apps from Google Play.
Of course a lot of growling among Android users, but many developers have been waiting for this for quite some time. Of course there is a lot of talk about this on the web, but this might entice developers to cut down a bit on crazy "freemium" systems for their games.
A few people hacked a digital billboard in Belgrade, and played Space Invaders on it, and instead of jail-time, they got rewarded with an iPad.

Tools4Movies News:
Website news:
As mentioned above (and a few recent newsletter, I've been working around the clock on a website update. It's been a few years since I last when through a redesign for Tools4Movies.com, and while I put up the design on DVDCatalyst.com only last year, it has some restrictions. In addition, both sites while both mine, have some inconsistencies in regards of content and information, so it's time for a do-over.
While I didn't just do a copy paste on the articles and documentation from the current sites to the new one, the new site actually has (a lot) more content on it at this point than the other sites. More guides, and the troubleshooting section is also a lot more stacked.
One of the big things with what I am working on is the ease of finding answers. Guides are organized, and for questions, the search feature should be able to bring up answers to most of the questions I receive. It's been 10 years that I have been doing this, and looking through the questions I have gotten during that time, it should be a lot easier.
And overall, things are a lot cleaner as well. I can't wait for this to be done and active, but there are still a couple of things I need to include.
DVD Catalyst News:
With the new website, DVD Catalyst will also be updated. With a new website, links in DVD Catalyst itself will no longer point to the correct location, so that will be updated. In addition, while working on the guides on the new website, I have added some new device profiles as well. In particular some of the lesser-known brand phones and tablets.
Ad blocker Apps:
With the introduction of Apple's App Store in 2008, the way applications and games are presented and sold to users has changed dramatically. Previously, software was offered in both free, function-limited trial and pay full-function versions, but now basic functionality, and pricing are the common differences.
Developers spend time on apps and games, and of course they wouldn't be doing this if there was not some form of return behind it. And it doesn't just stop after a product is released. No software product is bug-free, so after release things that pop-up need to be fixed, updates to keep things interesting and support for new devices and technologies, and lets not forget customer support as well.
Rather than relying on a normal amount of sales, many apps are now offered for very low (and free) prices and rely on a large amount of users. There are some exceptions of course, with some big-name products being offered for premium prices, but the majority is all in the $0-$3 price range.
Developers of blockbuster products such as Angry Birds and Temple Run offer their products for free with a collection of ads, and while this doesn't generate much income per install itself, the amount of time people spend with the game (along with the amount of people who play it), income builds up quickly.
However, with the introduction of ad-blocker apps, this income stream reduced significantly. With a free game relying on ads to pay for development and support, and ads being blocked by another app, the company will not have much interest in continuing to support the app.
As a result, the "freemium" system is now more commonly used. Still free, but in order to get further into the game you need to pay for additional stuff such as extra levels and weapons. Some developers use this on a decent basis, making the game more of a trial version providing access to a decent part of the game or, with "grinding" (long hours of play to get a bit of in-game stuff) enable you to finish the game completely, but others abuse the system, and offer a really limited trial version with a forced requirement to pay in order to get further.
While I hate ads as much as the next (and as a result don't use any in my own apps), as a developer, I do understand the need for them. With ad blockers gone from Google Play, I'm hoping that the freemium model will become less intrusive.
Pre-order world:
The product market is changing. It wasn't too long ago that we only heard about products when they were actually available, now we are offered the opportunity to pay for a product before it is even build.
It was not even 2 years ago, that I felt like I paid premium prices for being a being a beta-tester. With devices such as the Motorola Xoom, the Nintendo 3DS and the Playbook being released with functionality less than advertised, mainly to "make the date".
The Xoom released with a MicroSD card slot, which at the time didn't do anything else than to make sure you wouldn't lose it. The 3DS was promised video functionality, but aside from in-game videos, it didn't have video playback. The Playbook was missing core-apps and did not have the promised ability to run Android apps until it received it's 2.0 update almost a year later.
Product reservation has been around for ages, and even pre-ordering video games has been around for a while, but now stores like Wal-Mart are flooding their shelves with pre-order DVD and Bluray boxes.
And lets not forget Kickstarter, the host for the ultimate marketing tool for a company.
Rather than paying a fortune to a marketing company, putting up a project on Kickstarter is the perfect way to gauge interest in a product, while at the same time ensuring a guaranteed customer base. Success stories like Pebble and Ouya are paving the way for other projects, old-school game developers wanting to start on their own, inventors trying to get funding to build their ideas. It's like the "Shark Tank" TV show, but without the sharks.
But, I am afraid that one of these times a big company is going to be using a site like Kickstarter for marketing purposes. Imagine a company like HTC or Blackberry, both overshadowed by Apple and Samsung in terms of marketing power, using Kickstarter to provide a false sense of input to users over the build of a new super Smartphone or tablet. The exposure on the web, especially with some possible outragous features, a grainy video of some guy with a stone forge in a basement hammering out a shell for it out of steel, would be astronomical. Release updates of some sort (Ouya-style) on a bi-weekly basis to keep things going. Spending will be a lot less than Samsung's 400 Million (US) for last year, and the exposure on the web will be a lot more, all before the product would actually be released or even in a physical shape.
Tips & Tricks:
Streaming video.
With many current devices offering only a limited amount of memory and no expansion options, such as the Apple iPad, Google Nexus and Amazon Kindle Fire series of tablets, using these for your own movies and TV shows can be a bit tricky. With limited space available, you can only copy over so many videos and when you run out of shows, you will need to refill your Smartphone or tablet with new movies.
There are some Wi-Fi-enabled hard drives available, like the Seagate GoFlex, which enables you to access all the videos located on the drive, but the high price, limited wireless range and low battery-life can be a drawback as well.
You can upload your videos to a cloud-service, which works quite well for small files, but for full-length movies, it takes quite some time to upload them, and of course storage on these services is limited, so for these larger files, it can get costly.
However, there are ways to setup your own "cloud".
MP4 Streaming Server:
A few years ago (back in 2007) I developed my own MP4 Streaming Server application. I was using an iPod Touch at the time, and continuously ran into storage issues. It was only an 8GB one, and while movies didn't take up much more than 600MB, I always ended up wanting to watch something I didn't copy over, so I either had to settle for a different movie, or hook it up to my computer, fire up iTunes and transfer it over.
By accident, I found out that if an MP4 file was accessed through the build-in web browser on the iPod Touch, it would play the file while downloading.
But, because putting movies on a web server takes a long time, and because not everyone has access to a web-server, I figured it would be cool to run a web-server on a computer at home, and access the files that way.
After numerous tries with different web servers (Internet Information Server, Apache etc) the one thing we ran into was that they all require some configuration beyond the capabilities of many, and of course the security risk involved that comes with running a web server. So, we came up with the idea to create an application that would have a build-in web server that does not require ANY configuration at all, MP4 Streaming Server.
For more information on how MP4 Streaming Server works, and what you can do with it, have a look here:
Kindle Fire Video Streaming Guide Part 1 | Tools4Movies | DVD Catalyst 4
Plex is an advanced media streamer. Unlike MP4 Streaming Server, which enables any device with a web browser to access the video files, Plex consists of a server application and a client application of some sort.
After installing the server on the computer you use to store your videos on, you can install the Plex app on your device (almost any device) and have access to your video files instantly. The server is free, however, unless you have a device with DLNA(XBOX/PS3) support build-in, you will need to pay for the playback app.
Plex also offers a "myPlex" service which enables you to access your videos from outside of your home.
For more information, have a look here:
Plex - A Complete Media Solution
Similar in many ways to Plex, however, Tversity charges for the server-side streaming solution, and videos are accessible through the web browser or DLNA (XBOX/PS3).

And that is it for this week's newsletter. While I'm not in the market for a new phone just yet (my Galaxy Nexus is just fine), I haven't been too eager to look at new phone developments for quite some time. Of course I keep track of what's out there, but as I mentioned in last week's newsletter, nothing really caught my eye as something new and interesting. Bigger screen, faster processor, better camera, and that pretty much covers it for the last few years.
While many tech-sites were underwhelmed by the new Samsung Galaxy S4, I am actually quite pleased. the specification-wars of AMD vs. Intel and ATi(AMD) vs. nVidia in the PC World has slowed down, the upcoming PS4 and XBOX 720 are similar in specs as well, all with a focus more on content rather than raw performance, so it is great to see that at least one company is trying to break away from the pack.
Thanks again for reading, and see you next week,

Huskies' unlikely season ends with unlikely win over Friars
Connecticut's Ryan Boatright reacts after making a free-throw late in overtime of his team's 63-59 win over Providence in an NCAA college basketball game in Storrs, Conn., Saturday, March 9, 2013. (AP Photo/Fred Beckham) |
STORRS — In the beginning, it was a giant puzzle, some of the pieces familiar, most of them a mystery. In the end, it fit together tightly, the pieces perfect for one another.
Maybe there was some divine intervention in an inspiring UConn basketball season after all.
"I just think this team was fit for this entire reason," guard Shabazz Napier said Saturday afternoon. "This team just seemed so resentful that we were never going to give up or quit. It seemed so right.
"We stayed together and that's a beautiful thing."
The final piece was put in place Saturday before a sellout crowd of 10,167 at Gampel Pavilion. Napier played through the pain of a sprained right foot and the Huskies fittingly went to overtime to take a 63-59 victory against Providence in the final game of the season and the last game of UConn's 34-year stay in the Big East.
The Huskies (20-10, 10-8 Big East) reached the unlikely 20-victory plateau. They posted a winning league record for the first time in four years, and they knocked the Friars (17-13, 9-9) out of any serious NCAA Tournament talk.
In October, there was little hope. In March, there is celebration even without a postseason. Afterward, the Huskies stood on the floor to be honored for their efforts this year, tears flowing and dances ensuing in an odd conglomeration of emotions.
"What those kids went through when nobody believed in them, guys left, guys stayed, it's a brotherhood," UConn coach Kevin Ollie said. "Now you're a part of something special. ... There's something special about UConn and we just showed it again.
"Once again, we showed them and we're going to keep showing them. Keeping counting us out, and we'll keep showing you because that's what we're about."
Napier decided to give it a go 35 minutes before tip-off. He was clearly not himself, especially in the second half, but still finished with 16 points and eight rebounds. Omar Calhoun sat out because of a right wrist injury, forcing R.J. Evans into a third straight start for the Huskies.
Evans delivered by holding Bryce Cotton, the Big East's leading scorer, to nine points. DeAndre Daniels came up big again with 19 points, eight rebounds and four blocked shots. Ryan Boatright assumed Napier's overtime dominance role by scoring five of UConn's eight overtime points, including a ridiculous three-point play that broke a 59-59 tie with 19 seconds left in overtime.
Providence badly needed a victory to help secure its first NCAA Tournament spot since 2004. Instead, the going-nowhere-but-home Huskies wrote a fitting final chapter. This season might be one of those poorly written, badly acted made-for-TV movies if it weren't so well-executed and dramatized throughout.
Even Evans' pregame address to the group that was his team for one year might be labeled corny under different circumstances. But when a lost season becomes one of important meaning, the right words matter.
"I just told them how proud I was to be a part of this team," Evans said. "I love them. We stuck through it and stuck together. I told them we had one last chapter to write in our book."
It was well-written.
UConn was outrebounded by 31 in an earlier overtime victory at Providence. Without Calhoun, Niels Giffey, Tyler Olander and Enosch Wolf on Saturday, UConn logged a 39-38 rebounding victory. The Huskies controlled the first half, but — of course — weathered a 17-7 Providence run to start the second half.
Boatright sent the game to overtime with two free throws with 32 seconds left in regulation. They came just before Daniels, easily UConn's best player in the final four games, came up with a huge block of LaDontae Henton.
UConn had a hobbled Napier, no Calhoun and just six scholarship players who could be termed completely healthy and, through sheer grit and heart, knocked off a team that had won seven of its last eight games.
The entire season was one weird, inspiring, dramatic script. And there was one last compelling chapter.
"Coach Ollie said it perfect: It's possible," Napier said. "Not one day did we ever use an excuse. We're not going to the tournament. Alex Oriakhi and Roscoe Smith transferred. No one gave up. Whenever somebody was down, somebody came in to fill that void.
"Even though we're not going to the tournament, hopefully we'll go down in history as one of the hardest-working teams."

Sustainable Agriculture Research in Uganda Funded by NSF SEES Grant
Sustainable Agriculture Research in Uganda Funded by NSF SEES Grant
Lisa Tiemann, a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment, has been awarded a prestigious three-year, $520,299 fellowship through the National Science Foundation's Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability (NSF SEES) program. The grant will fund interdisciplinary research on sustainable agricultural practices in Uganda
UNH faculty members Stuart Grandy, assistant professor of soil biogeochemistry, and Joel Hartter, assistant professor of geography, will serve as her advisors and collaborate closely with Tiemann on the project.
With the grant, Tiemann will explore the socioeconomic and environmental factors that influence soil fertility and agricultural sustainability in one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, which includes Kibale National Park. Tiemann's work will look at how agricultural productivity can be enhanced to sustain local people and offset threats to park services and wildlife.
In addition to collaborating with Makerere University (Uganda) faculty and students, Tiemann will work with the Kasiisi Project, a Cambridge, Mass.-based nonprofit organization that specializes in educational outreach around Kibale National Park. She will reach out to thousands of Ugandan school children to share information about increasing local soil fertility using sustainable agricultural practices.

...Read moreOn Sunday 23rd February the Irish Taekwon-Do Association hosted a free umpire workshop for all members aged 14 & older. The workshop was run in conjunction with the national team training camp which was taking place over the weekend in the Marino Institute of Education. Master Pat Barry, VII Degree, ITA Umpire Chairperson delivered the course which covered all aspects of the ITF tournament rules & protocols including the patterns competition scoring system, centre refereeing and corner judging, the role of the jury president as well as use of the electronic scoring system for sparring.
The course also included the role of the ring assistants, including equipment checks as well as information on the ITA tournament scheduling system. The course was well attended with over 50 students from colour belt up to 7th Dan Master level from all parts of the country in attendance. This included many beginners to umpiring as well as experienced national & international referees. It was a great advantage to run the workshop alongside the National team camp, as it allowed for some top level patterns & sparring competition, giving the new umpires a very realistic experience.
The workshop was very practical, with most of the time spent on the mats, looking at real-life sparring & patterns matches. Master Barry and the experienced umpires were able to offer examples from their own experience of competition & umpiring which was very helpful to the less experienced umpires in attendance. This course was well-timed with a large international contingent expected for the upcoming Dublin Open, the ITA was ensuring our umpires are fully updated & trained to allow for an excellent tournament in April. Another umpire course will be run in the near-future in another region of the country and all members are encouraged to attend.

Cyber threats to North America's electric grid are growing, making electric grid cybersecurity an increasingly important national and international issue. The Federal Bureau of Investigation recently noted that cyber attacks are eclipsing terrorism as the primary threat facing the United States.
The federal government, working in partnership with various state and local bodies, operates 47 different workforce development programs with a budget of more than $18 billion annually. They are intended to provide the education and job training that will help individual Americans access good jobs. But the complexity and lack of coordination in this fragmented system wastes taxpayer dollars and diminishes the effort's effectiveness.
The beginning of all wisdom in considering public attitudes over time is that Congress has been distrusted and unpopular with the American people most of the time, with only brief interruptions of public approval and support.
Many nations, especially those with advanced economies, face significant demographic challenges. Due primarily to declining fertility rates, the populations of these countries are stagnating and, in some cases, even shrinking.
Amid recent upheaval in the Middle East, American policymakers have often turned to Turkey as an important partner that shared many U.S. interests. This perception of Turkey is based primarily on history. For the half-century of the Cold War, and for a decade afterward, Turkey was a stalwart U.S. ally.
The first punch to the economy from the defense sequester has landed and the second is in motion. If it's not blocked, these reductions will contribute to 640,000 fewer jobs in the economy and gross domestic product (GDP) will be over 0.6 percent lower by the end of 2015.
At the heart of the ongoing immigration reform debate is the question of the anticipated costs and benefits of reform. Assessing the impact of various reform proposals on economic growth, wages, and federal and state budgets is critical to making an informed judgment as to whether enactment of reform is in the best interests of the country.

Diddy's gonna be pissed -- TMZ has learned, Danity Kane (the band he created and later destroyed) is reuniting ... without his blessing.
Four original members of the group -- Aubrey O'Day, Shannon Bex, Dawn Richard, and Aundrea Fimbres -- grabbed lunch today in L.A. with a new manager to discuss the reunion ... and sources tell TMZ, it's definitely happening. We're told they plan to record and tour.
We asked the girls if Diddy was involved this time around ... their response -- "Who's that?"
You'll recall, Diddy created the group back in 2005 during "Making the Band 3" and later signed them to Bad Boy Records. In 2009, Diddy fired the entire group (with the exception of Dawn Richard).
It's unclear who really owns the name "Danity Kane" -- but we're told the girls are going to use it regardless. Translation: you can expect a nasty legal battle.
As for why Diddy eventually gave the group the chop -- there have been all kinds of rumors ... but we're told the girls felt Diddy was screwing them big-time in the money department.
We called Diddy's people -- so far ... no response.

Charter Schools
About Florida's Charter Schools
Charter schools are public schools of choice. They are very popular—and among the fastest growing school choice options in Florida. Charter schools are largely free to innovate, and often provide more effective programs and choice to diverse groups of students.
Since 1996, the number of charter schools in Florida has grown to over 570 in 2012-13. Charter school student enrollment now tops 200,000 students.
Check out the Charter School Program Statistics (PDF, 174KB) for more details.

Colorado, which is quickly becoming the new Florida, saw another strange incident happen this week. A 21-year old college student who got drunk, wandered into a multi-million dollar mansion, and was promptly shot her in the hip by the homeowner, is now being charged with felony trespassing. Because taking a bullet to the ovaries is apparently not enough justice. But wait, there's more! Turns out the college student was given a date rape drug earlier in the night. Also, the wife of the homeowner was being stalked, hence the homeowner's "shoot first, ask questions later" approach. And to top it off, the guy's name is Timothy Justice, which is just awesome. Yes, this story truly has it all. From the Huffington Post:
The 21-year-old woman from Boulder, Colo. pleaded guilty on Wednesday to criminal trespassing, admitting to entering a multimillion-dollar residence in May, ABC News reports. After the couple inside demanded that she leave, homeowner Timothy Justice took aim and shot her in the hip.
She fell to the floor and the homeowners called 911.
Ripple maintains that she was likely given a date-rape drug before the incident, which caused her staggeringly high blood alcohol level.
Note to self: Start unlocking my doors immediately. More importantly, how long until this becomes a Movie of the Week? "All he wanted to do was protect his wife from a stalker… but then fate stumbled through his front door. Timothy Justice stars in Poetic Justice, this Sunday on Lifetime."

Dumbest reasons to go to the ER/Urgent Care

Posted over 6 years ago I work at an Urgent Care Center, and I had a real doosy on Friday - "I keep on throwing up, but just a little bit each time". We found out when we were screening her that the gal was pregnant. Gees what a dummy - like 21 or something. Any other stories? |

| Posted over 6 years ago This one is similar...once when I was working at a rural hospital as a unit secretary/aide, I got called down to the ER one night shift to do vitals, etc on a girl whose mom brought her in because of pain in her right side. The girl was about 15 or 16. She was admitted for appendicitis, but in the course of all the labwork, it came up that the girl was pregnant. The RN on duty asked me to be a witness while she explained to the mom about her daughter being pregnant. The mom got this bewildered look on her face and said she couldn't understand how that could be possible because the girl had not been with any boys...(oh, really?? hmmm...guess we should all prepare for the second coming then, right?) |

| Posted over 6 years ago I love it when we have an admit to our floor because of abdominal pain. Of course who wouldn't have a belly ache if they haven't pooped in weeks and the x-ray shows a large amount of stool throughout the colon! Duhh So what do we do give them IV narcs for the next 3 days then the doc gets on the ball and we spend the next 5 days giving more IV narcs and slowly work at getting this person to poop. Once they do then it is LOOK OUT! |

Services Forms Protocols Links Home
What cell lines have you injected?
Our lab has injected ES cell lines from a variety of private and commercial labs. These include:
R1 (Nagy) / 129X1/SvJX129S1/Sv+-p)
J1 (129S4/Sv Jae)
D3 (129S2/SvPas)
AB2.2 (129s7/SvEBrd-Hprt b-m2)
RW4 (Incyte/Genome Systems) (129/SvJ)
UCSF Transgenic Laboratory ES cell line
MC1 (129s6 SvEv)
How many ES cells do you inject into each embryo?
We inject 12-15 ES cells into each individual embryo. We look for the smallest, roundest, and smoothest cells available to inject. This is our standard protocol. We have found due to variations in cell lines, clones, constructs, and passage number that we will vary the number of cells if we have to do a reinjection. This is because there are instances when the ES cells are not robust enough to overtake the embryo and no chimeric founders are born. The ES cells can also be too robust and will overtake the embryo. Then the embryo does not contribute the proper signaling to carry the fetus to term.
If there are a very low number of chimeras born and a low chimerism rate we will increase the number of ES cells injected into each embryo. We also will increase the number of cells when we start with a clone at a very high passage number, i.e. > 20. If there is a very low pregnancy rate, few pups are born, or the clones are at a low passage number <10-11, we will lower the number of ES cells injected into the embryo.
What strain is the donor embryo?
The host embryo used is a ICR. We collect the embryos at day 3.5 by flushing the uterus. They will soon hatch out of the zona plucida (protein coating membrane) and implant into the uterine horns in the next 24 hours. The embryos are collected, injected, and then cultured for 2-3 hours. We will transfer the embryos into an appropriate pseudopregnant female mouse that same day.
How many embryos do you inject?
We prefer to inject 30-40 embryos per clone. If we inject more than one clone a day we average around 60-70 embryos a day.
What type of mouse do you transfer the embryos into?
We use ICRs as our pseudopregnant mothers. These mice are well known to be excellent mothers, carry large litters, handle surgeries well, and also make excellent foster mothers. These mice are picked in estrus and mated to vasectomized males. They are then pseudopregnant and are receptive to the embryo transfer.
How many embryos do you transfer into each pseudopregnant female?
We transfer 10 embryos into each female. The pups are born 16-17 days later. On average the litters range from 5-8 pups.
Should I breed my female chimeras?
If you targeted a male stem cell line you should have ~80% males and 20% female founders born. The male founders are the ones that you are most interested. A male chimera can be bred to a large number of wild-type females in a short period of time and produce heterozygote mice that much more rapidly. The female chimeras do not always breed, transmit through the germline, and there are published reports that they have genetic problem, i.e. are XXY. If you have a large number of high percentage chimeric males it is probably unnecessary to breed your chimeric females. There is no harm however in mating your chimeric females to wild-type males. There are many cases where female chimeras do produce heterozygotes.
When can I tell if I have chimeras born?
The mice begin to grow fuzzy with hair 5-7 days after birth. When they are fuzzy your can tell which pups are chimeric by coat color. They will appear white and brown with 129 targeted ES cells, and black and white with C57/Bl6 targeted ES cells.
How many chimeras and percentage of chimerism is dependent on a large number of factors. There are clonal variations in each construct. It is not uncommon to get more chimeric founders from one clone to another. This is why we try to inject all your positive clones. Other factors that can have an effect, are what cell line did you target, passage number, and wildtype contamination (which will effect the number of heterozygotes that you produce in germline transmission). These are all factors to consider when you start your gene targeting project. We have been able to produce chimeric founders for of all gene targeted projects brought to our laboratory.
