WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Purchase College held its 42nd annual commencement ceremony on Friday, May 16 at the Westchester County Center in White Plains.
Degrees were conferred upon more than 1,000 graduates as thousands of family members, friends, college faculty and staff cheered on the Class of 2014. The event — which reflected Purchase's reputation as a fulcrum of creative growth and accomplishment — featured Joe Ferry and the Big Ska Band providing opening ceremony music while an array of luminaries from diverse fields were presented with honorary degrees and distinguished alumni awards.
Two honorees received a President's Award for Distinguished Alumni: Jodi Long and Peter Powchik.
"These honorees demonstrate how a Purchase College education gives our alumni the foundation for outstanding achievement in a broad range of sectors, including the performing arts and biomedical science," Purchase College President Thomas J. Schwarz said.
Jodi Long. Class of '76, had her stage debut on Broadway at age 7 and continued developing her talent as a classical dramatic actor while pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in acting at Purchase. Throughout the 1980s and '90s, she performed in a number of productions on and off-Broadway, including "Flower Drum Song," for which she received a Los Angeles Ovation Award.
In film and TV, she has acted in a wide range of roles from Patty Hearst to All-American Girl and the current TBS series "Sullivan & Son." Also a writer and producer, Long has written the award-winning movie "Long Story Short" about her parents' careers as entertainers. She serves on the boards of Visual Communications, the Screen Actors Guild and other organizations.
Peter Powchik, Class of '79, graduated from Purchase College with a degree in chemistry, after which he received his M.D. from New York University School of Medicine. He has had a successful career in clinical development at leading pharmaceutical companies. In 2006, Powchik joined Regeneron, where he is currently senior vice president for clinical development and regulatory affairs. At Regeneron, he has played a key role in successfully guiding important products for the treatment of cancer, eye disease and inflammatory conditions through clinical and regulatory processes.

How pathetic in this day and age, What a total waste fo the Police's time and money. Why could the Police jave not liased with the local gay Community and passed on warnings that this behaviour would not be tolerated! This has been successfully used in past cases, it just show how backward our Council and Police friends in the provincial north are at Policing the community. It woudl be intersting to know how much this cost the tax payer!
It would be no different if men and women were having heterosexual activity in a public placeyeah right!!
anon: Quite!the "boys in the back of the bus" incident demonstrates that. We've all seen straight sex couples almost getting to coitus on a late night bus, but rarely threatened with being thrown off.What became of this story by the way? Will it fade away as nothing happens?
40 years since decriminalisation of homosexualityRemoval of Section 28Equality in the work placeEquality in Goods and ServicesLGBT liaison officers in the policeCivil Partnerships…And we still need to have sex in toilets? It's absolutely disgusting and the gay men should be ashamed of themselves for doing this. I can understand loving relationships straight or gay wanting to enjoy a quick romantic satisfaction, but in no way do I tolerate men who need to hunt for sex in public places.Will we ever shed the promiscuity that we have been stereotyped with? I very much doubt it if my fellow gays keep hiding in bushes for his next cock to show up.
Ryan, try googling 'dogging' and 'Stan Collymore' and see what you come up with. People sneak around for sex – there's no accounting for fetishes. Sexuality really only becomes a deciding factor if you count the hangover from the bad old days when few dared to be gay in public.That hangover will fade in a generation or two – don't be too didillusioned!

Faint heart never won fair lady... -Robin Hood
I am constantly becoming and evolving... so is my profile. I never stay the same, I always become more. More fun, more play, more love, more freedom, more Unity. A picture is worth a thousand words. True or false? If you want to know about me, I will tell you. The truth is that I am very spiritual. No, that doesn't mean religious. I am spiritual, not religious. Those who are spiritual understand this. I have noticed that spiritual people, or people interested in spiritual concepts are looking for like minded people. I am no exception to this. I cannot be understood by anyone who is not this way and I have no desire to be with anyone who isn't interested in becoming more. I professionally perform readings using only a picture. It is only one of my abilities.This is why I asked the question. A picture is worth much more than a thousand words to me. A picture can provide me with everything I need to know. Just a conversation piece, really. I have reached unconditional love. It means I simply let love win. I let my passion win. I let happiness win. Would be nice to meet a person who is that way too. Maybe I am waiting for an interesting wink;) I will be on at some point, just wink me. Que sera, sera...

With 304 operational sites in 31 states, Help said PrePass is the largest truck safety pre-clearance system in North America. In the next few weeks, new sites are scheduled to open in Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma, with another eight sites in various stages of planning in a number of other states.
"This is a significant accomplishment for Help and PrePass because it illustrates the success of our primary mission, which is to improve safety for all highway users while increasing efficiency for the commercial trucking industry," said Karen Rasmussen, Help's president and CEO. "At many PrePass sites, the system also protects our roads by helping officers identify overweight trucks so they can get them off the road."
Since Help began collecting savings data in 1997, PrePass has saved trucking companies more than 239 million gallons of fuel and more than 49.9 million hours of driver time, resulting in more than $4.2 billion in operational savings, according to numbers cited by the company from Iowa State University and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. It said these savings have also reduced truck emissions by more than 525,000 metric tons, equivalent to taking more than 100,000 cars off the road, based on Environmental Protection Agency estimates.

The Dooms Chapel Horror (2014) - Trailer / Poster
Bill Oberst Jr. stars in another new horror movie titled The Dooms Chapel Horror (2014). The trailer starts with a girl singing a nursery rhyme then changing the tempo totally midway into the trailer to a frantic sounding tempo. The film looks creepy and chilling, starring Oberst, you expect that. Also starring in John Holt's The Dooms Chapel Horror are Austin Madding, Abby Murphy, Shaun Gerardo, Josh Robinson, Josh Cornelius, Steve Crowley, Allan Walters and Wendy Keeling.…Tags for The Dooms Chapel Horror (2014) - Trailer / Poster: horror,movie,trailer,poster,2014,The Dooms Chapel Horror,Bill Oberst Jr.,John Holt,Austin Madding, Abby Murphy, Shaun Gerardo, Josh Robinson, Josh Cornelius, Steve Crowley, Allan Walters,Wendy Keeling
Age of Ice (2014) - Trailer
Emile Edwin Smith's Age of Ice (2014) is original to say the least. After watching the movie trailer I find the idea of the movie very interesting and even though the director had a low budget, the film looks very promising. This sci-fi film takes a stab that, what if, the Sahara Desert had a flash freeze starting the next ice age. Look for Age of Ice on December 9, 2014.

The Device (2014) - Trailer
Jeremy Berg's The Device (2014) looks scary and every bit like a horror sci-fi thriller movie. The trailer builds up momentum into something very promising. I am very skeptical about my alien movies but this I have to see, added "The Device" to my watch later queue. Starring in The Device are Angela DiMarco, David S. Hogan and Kate Alden.

Heidi (2014) - Trailer
With Annabelle (2014) coming out this Halloween 2014 we were bound to see another haunted doll movie, so here is Heidi (2014). You can check out Heidi early this October 17, 2014 at the PollyGrind Film Festival 2014. I really like this horror trailer and think this film is promising. Starring in Daniel Ray's Heidi are Samuel Brian, Joei Fulco, Joseph Bell, Eva Falana, Elizabeth Callahan, Ava Gianna, Michael Monteiro and Diem Bell.

Ouija (2014) - UK Trailer
Universal Pictures' Ouija (2014) has been looking really enticing and I am going to watch this new movie for sure. Ouija releases in movie theaters this October 24, 2014. There are a few new scenes in this UK trailer compared to the US trailer released earlier. I cannot wait to see Olivia Cooke in this new horror film because I think she has real potential and she did great in A&E's Bates Motel TV series.

Horror anthology V/H/S: Viral (2014) is creeping ever closer to its October 23, 2014 release date. This trailer is not too graphic but does hint that this new installment will have some shocking moments. Starring in V/H/S: Viral are Emmy Argo, Amanda Baker and Dan Caudill. Directors for V/H/S: Viral include Todd Lincoln, Nacho Vigalondo, Justin Benson, Marcel Sarmiento, Aaron Moorhead and Gregg Bishop.

Honeyspider (2014) - Trailer
Josh Hasty's Honeyspider (2014) is a Halloween themed horror movie that takes aim at the Samhain and Druid origins of Halloween. I have really mixed feelings about this film. I like some of the elements of the trailer and many I just dislike. The film shows some potential but it looks like whoever edited this trailer missed the mark bigtime. Cast in Honeyspider are Samantha Mills, Frank J. Aard and Joan Schuermeyer.

How To Buy Vintage Clothing
Need to know how to buy vintage clothing? Buying vintage clothing is not as easy of a task as buying non-vintage clothing. This is because there are many things that need to be checked to make sure the vintage clothing you are buying is still of good quality.
- Always check for wear and tears in the clothing. This is mainly because of the fact that vintage clothes are used, so depending on the previous owner and how often and where the clothing was worn, there can be a significant amount of damage.
- Be cautious of faded material. If the garment in question has faded material, this can be for a number of reasons, including the age or the washing or handling of the garment. Also, dark-colored garments tend to fade due to washing more than light-colored garments.
- Be aware of stains and odors on clothing. This is a major problem with most vintage clothing. If the garment has stains or odors, these tend to be very hard to get rid of because of the age of the garment. The severity of the stains and odors will determine whether or not it is worth purchasing the garment.
- Vintage clothing with deteriorated fabric should be avoided. Depending on the age of the vintage clothing, many garments cannot withstand much more wear after so many years. Always check the clothing to make sure that the quality of the garment is still up to your standards to make sure it does not fall apart with wear.
- Torn clothing should be avoided if possible. The problem with trying to repair vintage clothing is that some of the clothing, due to its age, cannot withstand the tugging and pulling of fabric that comes with mending. Most of the time, trying to repair vintage clothing damages the clothing even more than it was previously.

@Dave! (Or Justin Turner, Maybe) nice crop
Have we all laughed at this yet?
@capnsparrow @Bawfuls Randy Johnson is too. The fact that RJ's case is more robust doesn't mean Pedro shouldn't be a lock himself.
@capnsparrow In what insane world is Pedro Martinez NOT a first ballot HoF inductee?
Even with the shitty stingy voters these days, I would be shocked if he doesn't get in this year. Smoltz is also probably a slight favorite to make it but I won't be totally surprised if he doesn't this year.
@DodgerDodger Probably that 36 isn't that old for a 1B with good plate discipline, they have a DH slot he can use for some of those later years, and that $21M in 2018 won't be all that much.
@Weston T @TellMyWifeISaidHello You can't give Bochy credit for lineup management and not playing over the hill vets when you look back at the way he jerked around Belt in his first years.
It wasn't just the Perez at bat, Bumgarner was all over the place and the Royals swung at everything:
@the great dick tater @Omer (beercoozie) @Diane. 9ers fan, fap master, super ninja, hero Thanks, I'm pretty proud of that one myself.
Lets laugh at reddit's baseball sub together.
Here's someone proclaiming that Bumgarner is the best pitcher in the game, based on his postseason performance: http://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/2kfj4k/madison_bumgarner_is_the_first_pitcher_to_throw_a/clktybh
Here's someone else pointing out how dumb that is, and also suggesting that most giants fans would trade him straight up for Kershaw no question. Then a slew of Giants fans come running to say that they absolutely would not. http://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/2kfj4k/madison_bumgarner_is_the_first_pitcher_to_throw_a/clku1hz
@Crushinator (Gender Bender lover) @HunterStricklandsOedipalComplex In what world is Jon Lester going to sign a 2-year free agent contract??
@Purple Drank @Disgruntled Goat @TellMyWifeISaidHello Hanley will get a QO for sure now
I just found out and I'm freaking out this is so cool why am I so excited by a front office move maybe he'll trick someone into taking Ethier or Crawford!!
@juanhenry Remember that Scherzer is also a FA this winter, so there's multiple "big splash" pitcher options
@Mike Petriello @exceedingly boring potato What makes you say this? Just Friedman's history of not wanting to move to the Angels/Astros?
@Purple Drank @Bawfuls I would hope so, but it matters when the Angels game is as well.
Ideally, I can ride the train/metro link from Anaheim to Union Station between the games
Sure would be nice if MLB would announce game times for Thursday and Friday soon. I'm trying to pack in two on Friday if possible (Angels because I lost a bet and Dodgers because of course).
@Thinkblue yeah, and he reiterated this point several times as the replay was shown.
@futbolram "Students not eligible to receive autographed baseball"
@Matt Kemp's Bath Towel @Disgruntled Goat Tulo won't win with the Rockies being sub-.500, and McCutchen's numbers are actually right in line with Puig's this year. For once, it's a reasonable Magic tweet.
The Lawfirm re-unites for one play!
uggggggghh godamn Cardinals
wow, back to back REALLY lucky hits, yay regression?
@Lobo @PagansOedipalComplex Uribe will be back by then though?
We can have infield defense or offense, but never both in the same lineup.
Need a gif of Puig dancing to Andre's dinger!
whyyyyy is Puig still trying to steal so much? He's 5-for-9 this year now, clearly he needs to work with Lopes or something because he's not getting by on raw speed.
@InsideThePark (except Carl Crawford) WHIP, I guess?
how the FUCK did we get out of that?
CC yay!
Lol Orel just said Puigism
@RoyceHibbert @TheConman @DBrim Kemp got a bad jump and took a bad route, it was a catchable ball, but that sort of thing is never called an error.
@Dang88 he full out sprinted from his spot and caught it completely laid out, well into Kemp's territory basically. Then he almost doubled the runner off 1B
So I was watching tonight's game in my usual way (MLB.tv) just fine, then turned it off for a bit. Just tried to tune in again for the 9th and now MLB.tv says I'm in the blackout region.
But I live in San Diego, wtf?
OMG Kenley pls
@Dodgerpain NOT LYONS and it's not even close.
I love that the majority of those last 5 minutes were just Steiner and Orel laughing at Puig in the dugout
STACHE VAN SMASH needs to go back to just the mustache because that nickname is just too good to die.
we were soooo close to the Brandon League Experience tonight!
Maybe Hanley really isn't hurt after all...
babip'd to death this game, godamn.
smart AND aggressive baserunning from Puig
@PagansOedipalComplex @Disgruntled Goat @TheConman Remember, the Cuban government can still exert leverage over players after they defect, as many friends and family members remain on the island.
and no, I don't care that he's got a full beard now. It's still and 80-nickname tool.
Has someone made a good Stache Van SMASH t-shirt yet?

Toledo, OH (Sports Network) - Julius Brown scored 21 points and hit a pair of crucial free throws to earn the Toledo Rockets a 76-72 overtime victory over the Central Michigan Chippewas in a Mid-American Conference thriller at Savage Arena.
Brown also contributed nine assists and seven rebounds for Toledo (6-7, 2-0 MAC) which has won four of its last five. Rian Pearson dropped in 20 points and Dominique Buckley added 13 points.
Kyle Randall had a game-high 24 points as the only player in double figures for Central Michigan (8-7, 1-1) which had won two of its previous three.
Central Michigan led 29-26 at halftime despite shooting just 37.5 percent from the field by outscoring the Rockets from beyond the arc (15-12) and the free-throw line (6-0).
Although the Chippewas shot 54.2 percent in the second half they found themselves trailing 50-47 with a little less than seven minutes to play. A 3-pointer from Randall evened the game up at 50-50 in one of five ties in the last six minutes including the 60-60 stalemate at the end of regulation.
The Rockets hit 3-of-5 shots from the field and 9-of-10 from the free-throw line in the extra session to pull out the win. Brown hit all six of his attempts from the charity stripe in overtime including the pair that put the game out of reach with a second remaining.
Missouri State said Sunday it will not bring back football coach Terry Allen after nine seasons.
Kasey Kahne will continue to drive for Hendrick Motorsports through the 2018 Sprint Cup season, signing a three-year contract extension on Thursday.
"I'm not gonna address that."
The Oakland Athletics acquired first baseman Ike Davis from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday, three days after he was designated for assignment.
The Atlanta Hawks recalled first-round draft pick Adreian Payne from the NBA Development League on Sunday.
Edmonton Oilers forward Benoit Pouliot is out indefinitely after suffering a broken foot in Friday's game against the New Jersey Devils, the team announced during the second intermission.

round cloud ivory rug
Kimberly from Arnold, MD– Verified Buyer
Love the rug. Thick and plush. The round goes well in a room where there are a lot of straight line furniture. True it's ivory and will get dirty but I think spot cleaning and vacuuming will keep it looking good until it gets a professional cleaning.

So the question is – am I a good scientist? How can you tell, I hear you ask? Well, you could just take it from me that I'm ..well…showing signs of potential shall we say. Or you could ask my colleague, Professor Stuart 'Stu' Dent, what he thinks, but then again his work is pretty esoteric – pretty irrelevant if you ask me….nobody cites his work. Oh wait that's it – that's how you measure a scientist – it's their citation count – how often your scientific papers are mentioned in other scientific papers – the more times that happens the more pats on your shoulder you collect [psst …don't tell Prof. Stu this but my citation count is way higher than his] so na Na Na NA-NA! Ok, ok… enough of the playground banter…but you see how things can easily degenerate into childish attitudes. I'm sure we all get judged, measured, compared – it happens in all walks of life, in many professions….geez isn't it a pain though?
Maybe I'm saying that because I do not have a stellar paper that is amounting monumental citation counts…maybe I would have a different attitude if I had one of the top 100 cited scientific papers, recently listed in Nature journal. Don't get me wrong – I have a few citations, and a bit like my ResearchGate score…it could always be bigger, but then again couldn't many things…..
Where would I place myself in the science class-system? – middle class, lower-middle class? Upper middle class? …or maybe I'm punching above my station – not featherweight, maybe light-bantam weight, not quite super heavy weight, yet! I don't know – citations are a bit like the currency of a scientists-worth – and like the stinking rich where money makes money, in science circles – citations seem to make citations. Gathering citations seems to be a complex process, and luck can play a factor, but once that citation ball starts rolling…then just like tracking 'likes' on blogs, or followers on social media…it can become quite seductive an addictive.
Metrics are all around us…how much attention should we give them? I don't care – just as long as you don't have too many followers – the classes just don't get on well together !
Just what will Homo sapiens look like 1,000 years from now? …assuming we still roam this 'smote of dust suspended in a sunbeam'. It's a question that was imaginatively tackled in a great article by the ever funny-facetious @garwboy - 'Human evolution: the next stages' – the 'selective hearing' innovation struck home – I'm pretty sure I'm well on the way with that particular evolutionary adaptation….
On a practical level, I can think of a couple of evolutionary innovations that would be particularly useful here in the lab. I reckon I've opened and closed well-on-nigh 10,387 PCR and Eppendorf tubes in my time, and faced with the prospect of closing another 96 PCR tubes – a specially adapted PCR-tube closing finger would come in very 'handy', no?
Or….I also often 'make a fist' of opening Eppendorf tubes, especially after a day of closing PCR tubes – "no matter ", says my selectively bred 'super-duper-Eppendorfer-tuber thumb-er' future self, "Stand aside, I'll have these opened for ya' before you can salve those blisters on your poor bleeding thumbs"
So….what evolutionary innovations would help you in you work/life? The ability to dunk your hands directly into liquid nitrogen? molten agarose? The ability to see instantly your RNA samples in the -80ºC freezer?
..or what about TipHead…he 's looking every inch what I think we'll look like in the lab in a 1,000 years time.
et Al. is evolving as we speak on The Twitter @lopsidedlablife
The Nobel prize train has left the station for another year and - oh well – yet again myself, and admittedly many others, are left standing on the station platform looking forlornly as Science-fame chugs off over the horizon. Keep on dreaming eh?
Inevitably there is focus on the winners this year, but what about those who have been overlooked for the biggest of the Sci-gongs going. I found this article interesting at Scientific American – Top 10 Nobel Snubs – which includes Jocelyn Bell Burnell's omission in the 1974 award for the Physics Nobel. The above photo has been embellished somewhat – it's taken from the BBC Radio 4 programme 'The Life Scientific' – where leading scientists talk about their life and work. Here Bell Burnell talks about the excitement of her famous discovery of pulsars, but notably she talks very humbly about being overlooked for the Nobel – "The world's not fair, and it's how you cope with the world's unfairnesses that counts"
Now, where did I put that train timetable again?……

Labs are usually 'crawling' with tubes – ranging from the larger, more common Tubus eppendorfis spp. microcentrifungus to the smaller Tubus pcr spp. flatlid and the closely related spp.roundlid (see Figure(d), above). The former has a remarkably varied diet and will sustain itself on many everyday lab solutions such as NaCl, buffers, BSA protein, and sometimes even DNA and RNA. The latter, however, survives in more specialised molecular ecological niches and relies on specific amounts of magnesium chloride, DNA polymerase enzyme and plasmid DNA. If caught and tamed T. pcr is more gregarious than T.eppendorfis – enjoying Master Mix cocktails, tube tickling sessions, and can be lost for hours on long hot cycling trips. On the other hand, T.eppendorfis likes nothing better than the rigour of a right good vortexing to mix up it's lab 'soup'.
Some Tubus sp. are on the endangered list with numbers of T. grandis (top left, Figure(d)) markedly declining – presumably as a result of extreme competition in the 'consumables jungle'. Concerns about the future of Tubus sp., and the growing awareness of their benefit to Science, has led international consortia – led by a group in Tübingen – to propose the whole plastic sequencing of Tubus (employing the new, next-gen 'Plast-seq' platform). Here, the omnipresent Tubus eppendorfis is mooted as the 'reference' Tubus 'plast-ome'. Intense research has sought to identify the last common ancestor of Tubus sp. and recent indications point to the emergence of Tubus from around 1953 in the area around The Eagle pub in Cambridge, UK, although there also seems to have been several major duplication events around 1975 (known as the 'Sanger-ian Epoch'), and a decade later in California (known as the 'Mullis-oic Age').
Tubus eppendorfis can usually be easily spotted roaming labs, not uncommonly in 'packs' of 500, but can also be found in smaller groups – typically on the Savannahs of exposed bench tops, and can be tamed or corralled into 'racks' (see Fig (ed), above). Recent evolutionary adaptations has seen T. pcr develop the ability to aggregate in groups of 8 'strips' (see also Figure(d)) thereby gathering as defined communities, known as HighThroughput communities. Politically this has led to some tensions within groups of the Tubus species, with the LowThroughput community complaining of marginalization from opportunities to advance the case for Science.
The future for Tubus sp.? Climate change…population explosion…er…flooding….mmm…Armageddon…..one thing is needed ….drum roll…….drum roll….More Research Needs To Be Carried Out !
Another thing needed?…… maybe I need to get out of the lab a bit more!?

Gel electrophoresis, or 'running a gel' is the 'bread 'n butter' of any molecular biology lab – the 'stock 'n trade' of the Life Sciences – the 'meat 'n two veg' of …..okay, okay – you get the picture. Basically gel electrophoresis works by sieving DNA through the pores of an agar jelly and separates different sized DNA fragments according to their size and charge. Geez, I've run dozens of gels in my time….usually all goes well, although who hasn't reversed the current and lost the samples as they run out of the gel into the buffer surrounding the gel…..[okaaaay….that'll only be me then]. So, it makes me think – what were the origins of gel electrophoresis…who invented it?
Ever heard of Oliver Smithies? Well, he's a Yorkshire-born American Geneticist who is credited with developing gel electrophoresis in the 1950′s after – bizarrely – reminiscing about helping his mother do the laundry as a child – read more about his inspiration at this Great Experiments entry.
It's amazing where inspiration comes from, no?….and it'll certainly make me think twice about driving any 'tanks' into 'buffers' when things don't turn out quite right in the lab!

I've been thinking about Bioscience branding and logos – I had a fleeting thought about the style of the 'Life Technologies' brand and its [albeit tenuous] similarity with the Kellogg's brand logo. Molecular bioscience research is no longer the realm of privileged academics e.g. the RNA Tie club of the 1950's – more 'Tied' to the multi-billion dollar Biotech industry – off-the-[supermarket]-shelf-kits and 'solutions to your research needs' are readily available – just peruse the many flash catalogs whilst drinking your tea or coffee from your 'Promega', 'Qiagen' or 'Life Tech' logo'd mugs. Less emphasis now of crafting experiments with home-made solutions and cobbled together kit – why? Laziness? Maybe, but another driver is less time – science is driven by short chunks of funding – pressure is on scientists to produce timely 'impact' science – grab a kit off the shelf rather than the time consuming act of working up an experiment from 'first principles'. Much of this fancy branding wouldn't look out of place on other commodities, no? Who knows – maybe in the future some of our breakfast cereals, laptops and trainers/sneakers will be brought to you by one of the big players in the Bioscience market place. Or what about the other way round? Plasmid preps brought to you by Kelloggs, Apple does proteomics……Adidas 'for all your high throughput sequencing needs'?

Target to open 20 more Canadian stores in July, including two in GTA
South Oakville Centre, Oshawa's Five Points Mall get new locations.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Target will open an additional 20 stores in Canada this month, including two in the GTA, adding to the 48 locations already in operation across the country, the big U.S.-based retailer announced Thursday.
The new locations, opening between July 16 and July 30, include a store at the South Oakville Centre and Oshawa's Five Points Mall. Overall, there will be 11 openings in Ontario, two each in British Columbia and Alberta, and three in Saskatchewan, the first Target stores in that province.
The 20 new stores push Target past the halfway mark for store openings this year, as the retailer has announced plans to open 124 stores across Canada throughout 2013.
"After opening stores in Ontario and Western Canada, we're excited to bring the unique Target brand shopping experience to additional locations in these markets and to welcome our first guests in Saskatchewan," Target Canada president Tony Fisher said in a release.
Besides its 48 stores in Canada, Minneapolis-based Target has 1,784 locations in the United States.

Eid Passport, Inc., a market leader in high-assurance identity management solutions and the largest commercial provider of vendor credentials at military facilities, has secured placement on the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) Qualified Technology List (QTL) for the company's RAPID-RCx® Program. The RAPID-RCx Program adds multi-credential scan, read, and verify capabilities to the RAPIDGate® System, and helps users quickly and securely authenticate TWIC and other government-issued credentials for streamlined facility or vessel access.
Commercial maritime facilities and vessels subject to TSA and Coast Guard regulations require persons entering secure areas of a facility or vessel to present a valid TWIC, which may be subject to inspection using a QTL-listed TWIC reader. The RAPID-RCx Program electronically validates the TWIC using a portable handheld device to determine the validity of the card and confirm it has not been tampered with or placed on TSA's Cancelled Card List. The program also provides multi-factor authentication by using the digital ID image and fingerprints stored on the card's chip so additional authentication can be conducted on the person requesting access.
To receive TWIC QTL approval from the TSA, the company's RAPID-RCx Program passed stringent testing, executed by accredited testing laboratory atsec information security, to demonstrate that the program and equipment perform reliably.
"It is a significant achievement to be recognized as a compliant technology provider based on TSA QTL specifications. We are pleased to receive this designation," said Steve Larson, chairman and CEO of Eid Passport. "High-assurance identity management is our business. We now offer maritime terminal operators a unique, portable solution through our RAPID-RCx Program and bring the benefits of this field-proven solution to the commercial U.S. flag fleet and the hundreds of United States ports."
The RAPID-RCx Program fully integrates with the RAPIDGate Program, which provides high-assurance identity management for more than 150 critical infrastructure military and other government sites worldwide, mitigating risk by streamlining authentication and verification for authorized personnel. The RAPID-RCx Program also supports the following features:
- Adheres to FIPS 140-2 Secure Connection Protocols
- Validates PIV and PIV-I credentials tied to the FBCA (Federal Bridge Certificate Authority)
- Verifies TWIC to the TSA TCCL (TWIC Cancelled Card List)
- Provides monthly activity reporting
Cross-checks credentials against:
- Local installation barment/no-entry/no-work lists
- Open source, law enforcement and criminal justice data sources
- Authenticates over 200 U.S. driver license formats, state-issued ID formats and Canadian driver licenses (excluding Quebec)

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

There are ominous parallels in how U.S. President Barack Obama deliberately humiliated Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott last weekend, publicly accusing him of being a laggard on climate change, and how the U.S. leader has kept Prime Minister Stephen Harper waiting at the altar for several years by withholding approval of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Stop me if you've heard this one. A party, let's call them the Quebec Liberals, campaigns on a promise, say, to freeze the price of subsidized daycare, adjusting only for inflation. It attacks its opponents, call them the Parti Québécois, who had proposed raising it from $7 a day to $9, as heartless and out of touch.
Michael Sona, a former Conservative staffer, recently was sentenced to nine months in jail for his role in the 2011 election robocalls scheme.
The military says a Canadian soldier who died at CFB Petawawa in eastern Ontario was doing mechanic work on an armoured vehicle when the incident that killed him occurred.
Michael Ignatieff is at it again. Not content with having gifted us with his 2013 memoir, Fire and Ashes, the erstwhile Liberal leader has produced a followup essay in the latest issue of New Republic, entitled I Wish Someone Had Told Me This Before I Became A Politician.
On the first Friday in January 2012, then-federal cabinet minister Steven Fletcher listened with gathering alarm to his Winnipeg surgeon.
In December 2013, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne had a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Parliament Hill to discuss plans to build infrastructure to allow miners to exploit the Ring of Fire mineral fields north of Thunder Bay.
Four days after taking office in 2006, Prime Minister Stephen Harper named Marshall Rothstein to the nine-member Supreme Court of Canada.
Unhappy the land that has no heroes. -- No. Unhappy the land that has need of heroes.
Australia is on the kind of diplomatic tear that Canada can only dream of.

Ukraine's ambassador to Canada returns home Nov. 30 to help co-ordinate his country's foreign service. During his years in Ottawa, Vadym Prystaiko has both lauded the federal government for its strong stance against Russia, and chided it over aid delays.

Abba Eban, the hugely accomplished Israeli diplomat and wordsmith, once quipped that the Palestinians "never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity."
Prime Minister Stephen Harper may be slowly moving toward acceptance of more environmentallyfriendly policies ahead of next fall's federal election.
It was all about families when Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced a raft of new tax measures a few weeks ago.

For a lame duck, Barack Obama is looking distinctly frisky. In the days since his Democratic Party took a pasting in the midterm elections, the U.S. president has been moving quickly across a number of contentious policy fronts: immigration, 'Net neutrality' and now greenhouse gases. It's almost as if he feels liberated, as if he has nothing left to lose. As, in fact, he has.

Washington Post: "Hey, Obama's Fiscal Cliff Plan Is Rather Disingenuous, Eh?"
Late yesterday, the Washington Post editorial board determined that the "Opening bids on 'fiscal cliff' talks are too small". After spending most of the opening part of the editorial attacking John Boehner's opening bid (surprising, eh?), we learn
What's worrisome, though, is that the two sides are slipping into a kind of tacit agreement to scale back the size of an ultimate debt-reduction package. The president billed his plan as $4.4 trillion worth of debt reduction over 10 years. But $2.4 trillion of that comes from lower interest payments, alleged savings from winding down overseas wars Mr. Obama never planned to fight and discretionary cuts that were legislated a year ago. Mr. Boehner's letter similarly identifies only $2.2 trillion of new revenues and cuts.
Well, I'm glad they finally told us that Obama's plan, which he has been playing with for over a year now (and which he formalized once the presidential debates were over with) is a load of mule fritters chalk full of imaginary savings and cuts already planned. The rest of Obama's plan pretty much comes from tax increases, from raising the marginal rate on "the rich" (which starts with the upper middle class), taxes through Obama(not)Care (which will also hit the middle and lower classes), raising capital gains, and many others. We'll supposedly get a whopping $2 trillion in debt/deficit reduction out of it over 10 years. Which we all know will never be used for that purpose. Boehner's is not much better, but at least the plan actually reduced the debt/deficit.
It will take more than that to dent the debt. A new report from a Bipartisan Policy Center task force headed by former senator Pete Domenici, a Republican, and former budget director Alice Rivlin, a Democrat, suggests that it would take $2.8 trillion in fresh cuts and revenue to stabilize the debt at 69 percent of gross domestic product by 2022 – above historical levels but sustainable. It would appear that Republicans and Democrats must not only come together but also raise their sights.
What we have is a spending problem, not a revenue problem. The government spends too darned much, and wastes it. Government is inherently wasteful. They fail to treat the money as their own and spend it wisely. The whole system is foolish. Yet, if we want to increase revenue, the best way is to get the economy roaring, to get people working, and to get those "evil rich" people to spend their money, which would mean more money ending up in governmental coffers after it has flowed through the private economy.
