WINDHAM — On a different Sunday, Bill Raycraft's fourth-quarter choice to "quick-kick" on third-and-9 would have coffee shops and breakfast counters buzzing all over town this morning.
Of course, the 51-point lead at the time and Guilliaume Gauthier's 54-yard rugby-style boot silenced even the most ardent critic.
Yep, just about everything worked perfectly on Windham's Senior Day as the Jags easily clinched a Division 5 playoff berth with a 51-0 victory over Kennett.
Every senior dressed got to play in their final regular season home game, a testament to how far this program has travelled in four short years.
"They all played great, too," said QB Joe Lorenz, who hit 3 of 5 passes for 109 yards in the light day's work.
As Windham assistant coach Jack Byrne noted to his underclassmen, "These seniors you see here today were smaller than you guys were, and they took a beating."
But the Jags' loaded senior class accepted the challenge to establish something special.
Even the most casual football fan noted the photo on this newspaper's sports front page a week ago with co-captain Kevin Cooney, sporting some major guns (biceps) as he busted through the line for a big gain.
Those don't develop overnight.
"Our first varsity year as sophomores, we really took our lumps, going 1-8," said Lorenz. "But we all worked hard at it. There were a couple rough ones that year. We just kept working at it. We all play together, knowing our own roles."
Yesterday, Cooney (5 carries, 66 yards) set the tone with TD runs of 1 and 55 yards, but that was merely the trigger of the avalanche.
Lorenz hit Danny Cannone (16-yarder) and Artem Aristov (53) with TD passes, and Jeremy Cocciardi rumbled in from 4 yards out.
Cannone then finished the 44-point first half barrage by blocking a punt and falling on it for the TD.
Most likely, the regular season finale in two weeks at Trinity will decide the No. 2 seed in the D4 playoffs.
Windham 51, Kennett 0

Watch live streaming video from pdf2011 at livestream.com The Internet may be worshipped for all of the following things: crowd wisdom, missed connections, videos of baby elephants in a baby pool...none of them are what this stop-everything-and-watch-now talk, given by Web pioneer Jim Gilliam, is about. Gilliam went to college as a born-again Christian who had an affinity for computer programming. But, by his first spring break, he couldn't breathe. Not in a metaphorical way; he wasn't anxious. Gilliam had cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He told his story—how he fought the cancer, twice, and found a network of activists through his work—this week at Personal Democracy Forum. There was a standing ovation, and (warning) tears. So, just press play for a reminder of what having faith really means. After watching, we've only got one more thing to say: amen.

Google's stealthy anti-aging startup
September 19, 2013: 11:08 AM ETWe know we're all going to die someday. But we don't know much about how Google plans to stop it.
FORTUNE -- Yesterday's big tech story (beyond Apple's iOS7 release) was actually a biotech story, but only because Google (GOOG) was involved. The search giant announced that it has launched Calico, a "new company that will focus on health and well-being, in particular the challenge of aging and associated diseases."
Or, as Time magazine put it: Google vs. Death.
Calico's CEO is ex-Genentech CEO Art Levinson, who will remain chairman of Genentech (plus a director of parent company Hoffmann-La Roche) and chairman of Apple (AAPL) . You may recall that Levinson also used to be on the Google board, before being leaving due to perceived conflicts of interest with his Apple role.
Beyond the above information, neither Google nor Levinsohn is actually saying anything about Calico. And there aren't even additional details in the Time story. So here are a few tiny nuggets to begin moving things along:
1. This is an independent company, not a subsidiary or affiliate of Google.
2. Google corporate is making the initial investment, not Google Ventures (even though Google Ventures partner Bill Maris was instrumental in the original brainstorming). There are not yet any SEC filings, but expect that the initial investment is in the tens of millions of dollars.
3. Venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins is not an investor in Calico, despite being the first money into both Google and Genentech.
4. I've also reached out to several other top life sciences VCs, none of whom had heard about Calico before yesterday's announcement. Same goes for some healthcare industry headhunters. In other words, this has legitimately taken folks by surprise.
5. I also contacted a handful of pharma folks, each of whom offered what they admitted to be uninformed speculation. Here was the response I found most interesting (again – smart pharma guy who doesn't know Calico):
"I'd say that Art's background in biotech and gene-driven cancer therapies would mean he'd be likely focusing on identifying the molecular aspects/drivers/signals of cellular aging and looking at interventional therapies targeting those targets. If true, this would be similar to how the oncology field was in the 1980s (wide open, no strategy, no leader, shunned by "real" scientists and most investors)."
6. "Calico" is apparently shorthand for California Life Company, but so far there are no publicly-available incorporation documents in either California or Delaware.

Field serviceWhy John is not amused and Jane is happy |
Field Service is becoming increasingly more important. Companies are now "selling to serve". When the client is being served the company gathers valuable information. This information can be used as a competitive advantage: "serve to sell". Analysts expect the field service management market to grow from $1.76 billion in 2009 to $2.3 billion in 2014 for a compound annual growth rate of 5.6% percent.
Unfortunately, most service organisations are unable to achieve high enough quality and efficiency to benefit from this blooming market.
To help companies capitalise on these opportunities, Deloitte developed a Field Service Value Map. An integrated approach that is focused on improving revenue growth, operating margin and asset turns.
- Revenue growth can be accomplished by letting current revenue streams grow or by creating new revenue streams.
- Companies can boost their operating margin by focusing on higher margin products or by reducing the total cost of customer interactions.
- Asset turns can be improved by fine-tuning either inventory and order management costs or by reducing the total infrastructure costs.

Essential Info
I'll Have What She's Having
Humans are, first and foremost, social creatures. And this, according to the authors of I'll Have What She's Having, shapes—and explains—most of our choices. We're not just blindly driven by hard-wired instincts to hunt or gather or reproduce; our decisions are based on more than "nudges" exploiting individual cognitive quirks.
I'll Have What She's Having shows us how we use the brains of others to think for us and as storage space for knowledge about the world. The story zooms out from the individual to small groups to the complexities of populations. It describes, among other things, how buzzwords propagate and how ideas spread; how the swine flu scare became an epidemic; and how focused social learning by a few gets amplified as copying by the masses.It describes how ideas, behavior, and culture spread through the simple means of doing what others do.
It is notoriously difficult to change behavior. For every "Yes We Can" political slogan, there are thousands of "Just Say No" buttons. I'll Have What She's Having offers a practical map to help us navigate the complex world of social behavior, an essential guide for anyone who wants to understand how people behave and how to begin to change things
About the Authors
Mark Earls is a London-based author and consultant on marketing, communication, and behavior change.
Michael J. O'Brien is Dean of the College of Arts and Science, Professor of Anthropology, and Director of the Museum of Anthropology at the University of Missouri.
"[A] highly informative tool-kit for understanding the exchange of knowledge and behaviour between people and is a must-read for anyone engaged in marketing and social media." — Collyn Ahart, YCN
"The book is aimed at the expert, though accessible due to its brevity it would be a challenge to newcomers to the topic and offers few signposts to further reading." — Dr. Darren G. Lilleker, Politics, PR, and Marketing
"It's fascinating, thought-provoking, and contains some really useful, practical structures around using data around a business to understand what sort of market you're in." — John V. Willshire, Smithery
"I'll Have What She's Having has profound implications for marketing. People are much less individual than we thought and much more influenced by other people than we realized."
John Kearon, Founder, CEO, and Chief Juicer, BrainJuicer Group PLC
"This book is a very sophisticated treatment of the most critical influence on consumer decision-making. Every marketing plan must include this thinking in order to have a chance of being successful."
Robert Barocci, President and CEO, The Advertising Research Foundation (ARF)
"Our community of shared ideas and practices comes from a process of imitation we are loath to acknowledge. (In fact our sharing comes from stealing.) But let us not repeat the error here. Bentley, Earls, and O'Brien deserve our unstinting thanks for this thoroughly lively, elegant, intelligent, useful, and companionable book. I for one intend to borrow from it liberally. You should too."
Grant McCracken, anthropologist and author of Chief Culture Officer: How to Create a Living, Breathing Corporation
"Social networks and the power of word of mouth are increasingly important today. If you have been looking for social influence models that correspond to rational decision theory, and behavioral economics, this is the book for you. Insightful examples and innovative mapping of collective behavior make this a fun and must-read book."
Yoram (Jerry) Wind, Lauder Professor and Director of the SEI Center for Advanced Studies in Management, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania

Lee, just get one of the 5 dollar hats off Amazon. I'm gonna go for one of the more expensive wool ones that are sized like real hats because I like weird hats and might wear it more than once.
Lee, just get one of the 5 dollar hats off Amazon. I'm gonna go for one of the more expensive wool ones that are sized like real hats because I like weird hats and might wear it more than once.
^Same. Although, I'm pretty sure my hat will eventually get tossed onstage during a frenzied sing-along.
And Lee, do a google search of civil war hats and you'll find several options priced under $7
Was hungover and bored today, so I spent much of the day cowering in a duvet and had some time to think. One of the things I thought about was whether one might indeed be able to make paper civil war hats to disperse amongst the crowd.
I ultimately concluded that it's not possible to do so without using more than one sheet of A4 each, therefore making the time and effort required per hat prohibitive. French style kepis are doable; but not American civil war style ones 'cause they have that forward slouching thing going on.
I hope this was a completely productive use of my time.
Anybody else get a Okkervil River vibe from Theme from Cheers? The first couple minutes anyway.
I didn't before you said it but now I can hear it.
This is good stuff...
True story:
I have apparently not listened to The Airing of Grievances enough.
Yesterday I was listening to Coachella 2011 artists on random play, and this song came up that I didn't know, and I thought, damn, that's a really good Bright Eyes song, why don't I know it?
It was "Albert Camus".
so yeah now I totally get the TA to BE comparisons. If you haven't heard The Monitor, though, you should know it's gone away.
non sunt in coeli, quia fvccant vvivys of heli
Ahahahaa, that is awesome, Tom.
2014 Collaborative Playlist on Spotify.
Dammit! I just found out Titus Andronicus is opening for Bright Eyes in Vancouver. I had no idea about this until 5 minutes ago. About 2 days ago, out of curisoity, I checked to see if tickets were available because I was considering going. They were. After finding out Titus is opening the show, I rushed over to ticketmaster to buy tickets... only to find out they are now sold out. Dammit!
I'm excited that they are playing in Phoenix a couple of days after Coachella, that will make up for the short set!
So, i happen to be strolling in to boston for work this weekend and figured i might as well check to see if there's any good shows worth catching.
to my surprise, titus andronicus will be playing with the pogues at the house of blues, 10 min from my hotel
So i've started watching the PBS Civil War mini series from 1990. Holy shit if this albums concept doesn't make so much more sense now. I knew the civil war was the inspiration for the concept but this mini series specifically seems to be the direct influence. Between the lincoln speeches exact dialog on both the album and the mini series and the story of the ship The Monitor and the song titles, I want to say half the album has been covered in the first 2 episodes lol. I'm really enjoying the special and the story of the Union ship the Monitor was one I was not familiar with and it's a pretty exciting one at that. I can't recommend this mini series enough and it's on netflix if you have it. I think it's 8 parts about 1 1/2 hours each part. It's brilliant.
Heading to Portland in mid-June and was checking to see what shows will be happening while I'm there. I've never been, but saw Okkervil River and Titus Andronicus will be playing at the Crystal Ballroom. Is it a good venue? Looks pretty classic from the website, so I'm kind of excited.
So are people really doing the hat thing or is this all just a clever ruse to trick me?
non sunt in coeli, quia fvccant vvivys of heli
Upcoming stuff also sometimes gets posted here, but it's been a while.
The Crystal is alright, but definitely not my favorite venue. It's a difficult place to see a quieter show, because the diagonal orientation amplifies the chatter in the back during lulls/slow builds/whathaveyou. Not really a problem for Titus, but might frustrate during Okkervil. It's pretty on the inside, though, and it's a McMenamins with a bar underneath, so the alcohol selection is good.
A lot of people really like it. I'm not in that camp, but I'd certainly never expressly NOT go to something because it was there.
^I thought I remembered seeing a PacNW thread, but didn't see it when I looked. Thanks! Still a few months before I head up there and a couple of gaps in the Doug Fir Lounge calendar, so maybe something else will come up. The Okkervil River and Titus A. show still seems like a good bet.
I'm doing it Tom. I waffled for a brief moment but i'm off to amazon now to buy one. I'll post a link shortly for others who want to get one. The time is NOW! I'm half tempted buy the Lincoln hat and beard but that's a bit tall for a concert and the beard would probably be annoying.
I actually went with ebay because I have a fat head and they had XL as a size. Total cost $8.64.
i would do this if it werent' going to be one million degrees out there.
non sunt in coeli, quia fvccant vvivys of heli
But you could fill it with dry ice and cut a hole in the top for visual effect.
is it weird that i think i might like the airing of grievances more than the monitor?
Let's go on a livin' spree!
ok I just actually ordered an actual navy blue union kepi off of amazon. so I will have an actual hat. don't you fuckers let me down now.
non sunt in coeli, quia fvccant vvivys of heli
I love that the confederate kepi on Amazon is three dollars cheaper.
edit: well nm i guess they're all third party
Ron Paul 2012!
Upcoming Shows:
Four Tet
Coachella 4/20-4/22
Death Cab for Cutie/Magik Magik Orchestra
some other bands
I bought The Airing of Grievances this weekend. The first song really sounded like it was from The Monitor and I questioned for a moment (this was 5:30 in the morning) if I had accidentally bought the album I already had. But no, it's different, and it's a hell of a lot of fun to listen to loudly when you're speeding along the interstate.
Tom, don't recall if you answered this before: are you going to the Okkervil/Titus show at the Rialto in Tucson in June? You ought to. (Incidentally, the other CD I bought at that very same trip to the store this weekend was Okkervil River's Down the River of Golden Dreams. That wasn't my intention when I walked into the store, that's just how things worked out.)
You're right, I really ought to. but everyone in my house is going to be out of town that day so I would need to stay home and take care of the dog. The dog likes Okkervil River ok but hasn't been able to get into Titus Andronicus so much.

Fully Automated, Computer Controlled Shower Will Kill You While You Bathe, I'm Sure Of It
The Aquapeutics (now to be known as AquaPEWtics) luxury steam shower has everything a person could want, plus a whole bunch of other crap, and a $4,300 pricetag.
This spaceship-worthy shower is loaded up with two handheld showers, a waterproof LCD TV, a radio, massage jets, a steam box, overhead lights, an alarm, and other crazy crap. The whirlpool and steamshower are computerized, letting you set your program to run when you get in, and it's all very fancy.
I WANT IT! I heard it even washes your balls and polishes them to a shine. Which, I think we can all agree, while painful, would be well worth the shellacking. QUICK -- LOOKIE HERE! Haha, blinded you.

WASHINGTON — There is something profoundly timid about President Obama's proposed $3.778 trillion budget for 2014.
Stripped of boasts about "investments" for the future and a responsible "balance" between deficit reduction and economic growth, the budget is a status-quo document.
It lets existing trends and policies run their course, meaning that Obama would allow higher spending on the elderly to overwhelm most other government programs.
This is not "liberal" or "conservative" so much as politically expedient and lazy.
The trends are clear.
From 2014 to 2023, the administration projects annual spending on Social Security to rise from $860 billion to $1.4 trillion, assuming its proposal for altering the inflation adjustment of benefits is adopted.
Over the same years, annual Medicare and Medicaid spending would go from $828 billion to $1.4 trillion.
Meanwhile, defense spending would barely rise from $618 billion to $631 billion. Non-defense discretionary spending (a catchall covering everything from Head Start to the weather service) would increase from $624 billion to $647 billion.
But these are all "nominal" dollars; they don't account for inflation.
When the figures are adjusted for price and population changes, shifts are more pronounced. (All figures are from Obama's budget.)
Defense and non-defense "discretionary" spending decline by 22 percent from 2014 to 2023. ("Defense News" reported last week that the Air Force has sharply cut pilot training; there will be more of this.)
Social Security rises 25 percent, Medicare and Medicaid 27 percent.
What's happening is that savings from shrinking defense and discretionary programs are financing expanded spending for the elderly. As a share of the economy (gross domestic product), non-elderly and non-health programs are rapidly eroding.
In 2012, defense and domestic discretionary programs represented 8.3 percent of GDP; by 2023, the administration projects their share at 4.9 percent of GDP.
This can't continue indefinitely, because — at some point — these programs become completely ineffective or disappear.
But Obama remains unwilling to grapple with basic questions posed by an aging population, high health costs and persistent deficits.

100% of the CEO
Murdoch MacLennan
I have been working at Telegraph Media Group
Pros – The salary and benefits are really good. Nice building with good facilities in a good location. The also looks good on your CV
Cons – Bad working environment. Dependent on the department you work in, perhaps this isn't for all departments but there is a lack of direction for people working on projects.
Advice to Senior Management – They transparency across different departments for better communication.
I worked at Telegraph Media Group full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Friendly staff, nice media floor, reasonable location in Victoria. It's generally interesting when a large story breaks and you can watch the media floor spin into action.
Cons – The senior team were off pace and their idea of progression was to regurgitate the same humdrum design practices cyclically. The work was really very dull, there are only so many ways in which you can reinvent a newspaper website - admittedly this is not really a fault the management team can do much about, its more the nature of the beast and something to be aware of.
Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your tech staff and their ideas.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Telegraph Media Group full-time for more than a year
Pros – Great benefits such as onsite-gym, nurse, subsidised cafe, massages etc.
Excellent experience working with large international brands
Cons – Large company bureaucracy.
Old boys club.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Telegraph Media Group full-time for more than a year
Pros – - Good push for digital product development
- Some nice and dynamic people to work with
- Nice environment
- Liberal work attire
- Nice Christmas parties
Cons – - Lack of career progression or staff skillset development
- Unstructured teams and processes
- Lack of business transparency
- Too much departmental and individual politics, therefore don't tend to work as a team and help each other
- Low morale company culture
- Low salary that are below market average (except for some Sales persons)
- Incompetent individuals
- High staff turnover
Advice to Senior Management – People make the company - don't focus too much on annual revenue targets - pay attention to technology and and recognise resource needs to make the business grow and in turn, retain high caliber staff.
I worked at Telegraph Media Group
Pros – I worked at the Telegraph online department for a year and a half. It was very interesting and my colleagues were all dynamic individuals. They seemed committed to innovation and providing a top notch product.
Cons – Sometimes I felt the drive to increase website traffic clouded editorial decisions. Also, during a period of cutbacks I thought management treated the casual workers unfairly (but I may be biased).
Advice to Senior Management – Don't compromise the caliber of the content of the website in the hunt for extra clicks.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

The new 2009 Ford F-150 builds on its segment-leading capability, with industry- and class-exclusive smart features aimed at making the pickup an even more useful tool.
Most Capable Pickup Box The new F-150 features the most capable pickup box in the segment. It starts with class-leading cargo capacity of 65.5 cu. ft. when properly equipped, made more flexible and accessible with new box-centered features.
When we introduced the taller pickup box on the 2004 F-150, we heard from customers that they loved the extra cargo capacity but they were having trouble accessing the box from the side, said Matt OLeary, chief engineer of the 2009 Ford F-150. We watched them try and jump up on the tire, use the edge of the running board or carry a milk crate to use as a step. They told us that we should just take the box height back down but taking away cargo capacity from customers seemed counterintuitive, so we went to work on smart solutions that make the box even more functional.
Among them:
Any one of these features might not seem like a big deal, but for the customer who uses the box of their pickup five, six or seven times a day, these innovations working together are really meaningful, OLeary said.
That same kind of logic drove the team to include other clever features on the truck, including the EasyFuel Capless Fuel-Filler System . This customer convenience helps to reduce evaporative emissions that create smog and global warming. When fueling is completed, and the nozzle is removed, the system automatically seals shut.
This feature is expected to be a hit with customers, which is why Ford is rolling it out on new vehicles cars and trucks alike.
The Ultimate Towing Vehicle
The new 2009 F-150 offers the most towing capability in the segment and features segment-exclusive technologies and features engineered and built with the tower in mind.
Towing a trailer or boat can be intimidating, especially for people who dont do it often, said Don Ufford, chief engineer, Ford Truck Engineering. Hooking up the trailer can be difficult, and feeling in control of the load on the road is challenging, too. Thats why were equipping the new F-150 with the same towing features Super Duty customers have come to love and adding even more content for F-150 owners.
They include:
Capability matters to Ford truck customers, but that extends beyond towing and hauling, said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development. Customers tell us how important it is for them to feel connected on the road, and thats why weve been working so hard to bring them technologies and features that provides them real-time access to key information, while minimizing driver distraction.
Most Connected Ford has been working with Microsoft, Sony and SIRIUS to offer customers leading technologies to help them stay connected with their lives while on the road. A host of new technologies will be available on the new 2009 F-150. Among them:
911 Assist: When a phone is properly paired, turned on and connected to SYNC, the system will be ready to assist in placing a call to a local 911 emergency operator in the event of an air bag-deploying accident. The key advantage of SYNC 911 Assist is speed, as calls are placed directly to local 911 operators. A SYNC-assisted call should reach 911 operators faster than competitive systems, as there are no handoffs and no need to speak to a call-center operator. Vehicle Health Report (VHR): This feature will allow customers to stay connected to their vehicles condition and maintenance schedule. In creating a vehicle health report, SYNC will gather relevant information from the major vehicle control modules and package the diagnostic data into a usable format. That data packet will then be sent to Ford via an 800-number automatically dialed using the customers paired and operable mobile phone. The whole process, which in some vehicles will include a routine check of more than two dozen systems, takes a matter of minutes.
Ford has spent years listening to our F-150 customers, and as the truck leader, we take our responsibility to deliver the right tools for them very seriously, said OLeary. Before we started working on the new truck, we continued the conversation with people who use these trucks every day for work and play. We went to their ranches, their job sites and their homes, making sure we crafted features that would improve their ownership experiences and, really, their lives.

Denmark, 2010
A danish doctor commutes between his Danish town to his work at an African refugee camp. Anton, the doctor, and his wife Marianne, have two sons, and are struggling with the possibility of divorce. Their eldest son, Elias, is bullied at school, until Christian, a new boy from London, defends him. Elias and Christian form a strong friendship which is put to the test when Christian involves Elias in a dangerous act of revenge. In a Better world is an ethically ambiguous, morally thoughtful, and deeply vexing drama about the fragility of civil order and the menace of the lawless.

More copies of this ISBNWriting Down the Bonesby Natalie Goldberg
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:For more than twenty years Natalie Goldberg has been challenging and cheering on writers with her books and workshops. In her groundbreaking first book, she brings together Zen meditation and writing in a new way. Writing practice, as she calls it, is no different from other forms of Zen practice —"it is backed by two thousand years of studying the mind."
This new edition, which marks almost twenty years since the original book's publication, includes a new preface in which Goldberg expresses her trademark enthusiasm for writing practice, as well as a depth of appreciation for the process that has come with time and experience. Also included is an interview with the author in which she reflects on the relationship between Zen sitting practice and writing, the importance of place, and the power of memory. Synopsis:This text offers encouragement and advice on many aspects of the writer's craft, from "first thoughts" to the use and misuse of adverbs, from where the best places are to write - both public and private - to developing your skills in the art of listening.
Synopsis:Natalie Goldberg's word-of-mouth hit has sold well over half a million copies. Goldberg, who has conducted writing workshops for both beginners and professionals all over the United States, sees writing as a practice that helps us comprehend the value of our lives. With insight, humor, and practicality, she inspires writers and would-be writers alike to take the leap into writing creatively and well.
Synopsis:A splendid combination of Zen wisdom and down-to-earth advice about writing.
About the AuthorNatalie Goldberg is the author of ten books. Writing Down the Bones, her first, has sold over one million copies and has been translated into twelve languages. For the last thirty years she has practiced Zen and taught seminars in writing as a spiritual practice. She lives in New Mexico.

CXCR7 impact on CXCL12 biology and disease

It is known that the chemokine receptor CXCR7 (RDC1) can be engaged by both chemokines CXCL12 (SDF-1) and CXCL11 (I-TAC), but the exact expression pattern and function of CXCR7 is controversial. CXCR7 expression seems to be enhanced during pathological inflammation and tumor development, and emerging data suggest this receptor is an attractive therapeutic target for autoimmune diseases and cancer. CXCR7/CXCR4 heterodimerization, β-arrestin-mediated signaling, and modulation of CXCL12 responsiveness by CXCR7 suggest that the monogamous CXCR4/CXCL12 signaling axis is an oversimplified model that needs to be revisited. Consequently, research into CXCR7 biology is of great interest and further studies are warranted. This review summarizes recent findings about the CXCR7 receptor and analyses its impact on understanding the roles of CXCL12 biology in health and disease.

28 April 2008 - 4:06Three discussions that rocked my weekend.
Below are three articles that I came to read this weekend that really just rocked me. I wanted to share and comment on them here in hopes that someone else will find them similarly thought provoking.
Adam Greenfield - "Anti-social Networking"
Adam's position can be summarized as such: that the social webs we weave in places like Facebook and LinkedIn are broken, severely so, and at a very fundamental level. Adam further argues that "the only way to win is not to play" and makes the claim that we are better off as a society with out those tools at all (at least, as implemented).
His main argument is this: within these social networks we are asked (read: required) to define our complex, dynamic and often ambiguous real-world relationships in a very concrete way, often having to make a binary choice between defining a 'friend' or 'not-friend' relationship with the people in our lives that we varyingly know, like, love, dislike and with as many nuances as we have encounters with those people. This is bad as it leads to social interaction that is hopelessly "autistic" in behavior. I've read similar positions from others, including one from Joel Spolsky in 2004 who in turn referenced a talk by academic Danah Boyd.
Adam writes:
By contrast, having to declare the degree of intimacy you're willing to grant each friend, whether in public and for all to see or simply so that they see it, is a state of affairs I've described, in comments elsewhere, as "frankly autistic." It's no way to arrange things as absolutely central to life as friendship, of that I am sure.
For all of these reasons, I believe that technically-mediated social networking at any level beyond very simple, local applications is fundamentally, and probably persistently, a bad idea. From where I stand, the only sane response is to keep our conceptions of friendship and affinity from being polluted by technical metaphors and constraints to begin with.
I understand where Adam is coming from; there is a severe awkwardness that comes with attempting to reify our relationships with other people as a mathematical model and it occasionally (or maybe even often) leads to the hurtful and decidedly anti-social behaviors that he describes in his post. That much I agree with.
Where Adam loses me is in his argument that this is a fundamental flaw of social networking as it exists on the web and that the only solution is to abandon the concept full stop. His conclusion, though, misunderstands the reasons people maintain their presence on these social networks and ignores the the many ways that these networks have proven themselves to be uniquely useful and, arguably, have net positive outcomes for their users.
The most glaring bad assumption is that people use social networks for the purpose of modeling their real world relationships instead of as a means to efficiently disseminate information among the people that are most likely to find such information relevant. While "friending" someone as an indication of a meaningful real world relationship is, I agree, ridiculous, stating explicitly that "this person's information is, in some form, relevant to me" isn't really all that awkward of a concept and I don't buy the idea that because some providers have chosen to borrow words we usually reserve to indicate a more intimate relationship than "relevancy" that it condemns the concept as a whole. In fact many networks have transcended this awkwardness to a large extent simply with a change in wording and a slight tweak to the model.
There are examples of this working successfully all over the web. Twitter, just to name one, allows a person to 'follow' the updates of another. The word itself lacks any implication of relationship: I may follow you because you're a close friend of mine and I want to stay up on your happenings or I may follow you because you're an industry commentator and your updates may be relevant to my work. The social tool itself is very similiar to what you'd find on Facebook or LinkedIn, only the wording is different and the social awkwardness is gone.
In short, I share Adam's views that current implementations are to a certain extent broken but I don't agree with his conclusion that social networking's inherent properties make the situation hopeless. Which ever side you lean towards, though, you should read the discussion that followed because there are some absolutely brilliant comments embedded in there. My favorite (perhaps because I agree with it ) is a comment made by 'Even', an excerpt here:
I think my greatest problem with the 'social networks bad, no social networks best, contextual situated social networks maybe ok' contention is that it seems, how should I put this, somewhat lacking in nuance.
Abstraction will be useful and we often benefit from simplifications carried out by many processes. I am fairly certain a blanket argument could be made against theatre for its failure to be anything but a bleak imitation of life itself, but I am uncertain how effective it would be. However grotesque we may find the mapping between social relations of real life humans and joined database columns, we do need to look at what use social networks are actually being put to in different services. Most often the network simply eases the dissemination of information.
Read the excellent discussion on Adam's blog: Anti-social Networking
Clay Shirky - Gin, Television, and Social Surplus
It's a story we've heard again and again over the last 10 years: Old Media consistently fails to "get it" when it comes to the profound changes that the web is catalyzing. Ground-up community-led (often merit-based) efforts that are birthed on the Internet are not a "passing fad" (as one TV producer puts it) but represent a fundamental shift in the way that society creates and disseminates information, on par with prior revolutions such as the introduction of the printing press, the grand scale availability of communications systems to individuals (ie. the telegraph and telephone) and, ironically, the triumph of broadcast radio and television. Old Media's naivety (or, more likely, willful ignorance) of the changing times would be maddening if it wasn't so funny. I rest easy at night knowing that the coming tsunami of change does not require the understanding or support of the old guard but that it can and will route around them, as revolutions are apt to do.
Clay's argument is that this change doesn't necessarily lead to better production or better content (as anyone familiar with the quality of YouTube comments or Digg posts can attest) simply that it is a different model of social participation, one that has proven not only to be possible but seems now inevitable and one that will fundamentally change a whole lot of existing structures.
Looking forward twenty years I think we'll see a few of the media companies that will able to reinvent themselves enough to stay in the game (that is, stay in business) but their relevance to society will be greatly diminished, replaced in many instances by self-organized information communities and self-publishing professionals and professional groups. Monolithic top-heavy media behemoths are the steam locomotives of the web revolution.
Read Clay's take on this: Gin, Television, and Social Surplus
Michael Pollan's "Why Bother?" (New York Times)
While the web revolution barrels down the track there's another fledgling revolution, wholly more important, who's inevitability is not so clear. From Michael Pollan's excellent article about how individual choices affect global climate change:
Sometimes you have to act as if acting will make a difference, even when you can't prove that it will. That, after all, was precisely what happened in Communist Czechoslovakia and Poland, when a handful of individuals like Vaclav Havel and Adam Michnik resolved that they would simply conduct their lives "as if" they lived in a free society. That improbable bet created a tiny space of liberty that, in time, expanded to take in, and then help take down, the whole of the Eastern bloc.

4. (BONUS!) Tim Bray - Multi-Inflection-Point Alert
I actually read this earlier in the week, but I'll include it anyway. This one is pure candy, just for fun. There's not a lot of substance to it but if you (like I obviously do) buy into the idea that we are at an inflection point in society facilitated by the new types of tools that ubiquitous Internet provides, then you'll like this post by Tim Bray.
I was up late on IM with a much-younger computer programmer and he asked "Damn, there's a lot going on. Is it always like this?" Well, no, it hasn't been. But in the future, it may be.
Near as I can tell, we're simultaneously at inflection points in programming languages and databases and network programming and processor architectures and Web development and IT business models and desktop environments. Did I miss anything? What's bigger news is that we might be inflection-point mode pretty steadily for the next few years.

What is the difference between drug abuse and drug addiction?
Topic: Drugs/Drug Abuse
What is the difference between drug abuse and drug addiction?
1 Answer | add yours
The difference between these is that drug abuse does not necessarily involve drug addiction, but drug addiction necessarily involves drug abuse.
Drug abuse is simply the use of drugs in a way that is not consistent with medical needs or with what society thinks is acceptable. If I go out and binge drink until I pass out, I have abused a drug (alcohol). However, I am not necessarily addicted (I may not be an alcoholic).
Drug addiction is a physical and psychological thing. It is when you cannot do without the drug. If you do not have the drug, you experience symptoms of withdrawal. If you are this dependent on the drug, you have clearly abused it.

Even Flow: Sounders FC vs. Real Salt Lake
The first leg of MLS playoffs always tends to be a tense venture and last night's match up between Seattle and Salt Lake was no exception. Both teams displayed expert defensive prowess and as a result the match ended in a 0-0 draw. But the game was by no means void of action.
The action got off to a fast start in the 23rd minute as Nate Grabavoy dashed towards the top of Seattle's eighteen yard box where he met an onrushing Michael Gspurning who made a spectacular sliding save. Both keepers were kept busy as the Sounders peppered Salt Lake's Nick Rimando with shot after shot. Rimando finished the match with one of the most sound performances by a keeper in MLS this season, and Gspurning matched him save for save.
Offensively both teams were more than present. Seattle and Salt Lake each tallied shots into the double digits. In the 33rd minute Sammy Ochoa and Jon Kennedy Hurtado nearly broke through for the Sounders as both snapped headers onto Real's goal frame off of a corner, but both efforts were thwarted by Rimando. Christian Tiffert also nearly headed in a goal in the 51st minute but was also denied.
Everything now hangs in the balance as Seattle travels to Salt Lake City for the second leg which will be played on Thursday. Seattle coach Sigi Schmid is confident as he was pleased with Seattle's effort in the first leg saying, "now we just have to go to Salt Lake and do well."

All these proposals are to deal with malicious offenders. Any panel that is formed should also…Read More consider the ignorance of those who take on a pet without knowing the expense and responsibility of pet ownership. Education , background checks, including income and credit history, should be considered before a person is allowed to adopt a pet. I don't know if dependent children are still allowed to walk into a pet store and walk out with a living creature. But that should be stopped. In other words, maybe the same laws that we use to children from negligence and abuse in the adoption/foster care process would be a good guide. Maybe a permitting process for prospective pet ownership is in order. And any costs associated with revamping, implementing and enforcing these laws should never become a burden on the taxpayer. It must be a self funded system by those who are willing and able to take on a pet. A possible exception could be for service animals. Which is a whole other can of worms.

What I was looking at was a one ton, can't recall if it was a 3500 or a 3500hd that had a straight axle under it already with leaf springs.
I browsed the net and found a couple of threads but didn't know why there were the perches added to the front of the frames for the leaves. I was hoping that a solid 4x axle could just be "bolted" in. It's kind of pointless because what I was looking at got sold. I've got a bid in on something else and will know Thursday morning if it's mine or not. Got my fingers crossed....... |

Dallas Smith has headlined arenas, sold more than a million albums and collected a BMI Award signifying one of his songs got a million plays on the radio â yet most country music fans have never heard his name.
Smith fronted the Canadian rock band Default previously in his career and landed a hit with âWasting My Time.â Since then, Smith launched a successful country career in Canada, charting five Top 10 hits and a Top 5 from his debut country album that was released two years ago. He made the album with producer and fellow Canadian Joey Moi, who also produces Jake Owen and Florida Georgia Line.
Smith is hoping for similar luck in the U.S. from his EP âTippinâ Point,â which was released today through Big Machine Label Group.
âI really believe in the collection of songs on the EP,â Smith said. âThe stars have to align on a lot of things and you have to have a lot of people believing in you. I love the challenge of trying to win over a new fan base.â
Florida Georgia Lineâs Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley co-wrote Smithâs title track and lead single âTippinâ Pointâ with The Cadillac Threeâs Jaren Johnston. The song has already sold about 100,000 downloads. But just because Florida Georgia Line wrote his single and heâs signed to same label group and has the same producer that they do, Smith said that doesnât mean that his music is a copy of the popular duoâs sound.
âI think my voice is different from what FGL is doing and my accent will definitely set me apart,â he laughed. ââTippinâ Point,â where the FGL guys wrote it, I think I was able to put my stamp on it.â

The mixtape wars keep on: MySpace bans Project Playlist
MySpace has officially blocked access to embedded widgets from Project Playlist, one of the myriad start-ups that lets members create music playlists and share them with friends.
This could come across negatively because MySpace runs MySpace Music, a service that competes with Project Playlist. And that's probably why the News Corp.-owned MySpace is making it very clear that it has blocked Project Playlist because of complaints from major music labels.

Two have-a-go-heroes rescued a woman from inside a burning house in Chiswick, this morning.
The pair came to her aid after fire broke out at the property in Rothschild Road, at around 1am.
But she was later declared dead.
Twenty firefighters from four stations battled flames for nearly two hours at the building – a house converted into flats.
