All kinds of people pretend to be someone they're not on the internet, including scammers, people attempting to wind others up, hackers and web predators. Almost all of these people will leave bases uncovered and they're all easy to expose when you understand how to. Here are my favorite ways of finding out when somebody is lying quickly.
Image Search
A common mistake made by imposters is sending you an image of a person or location straight from a search engine, which are easy to spot using Google's search by image tool. The search by image tool is accessed by going to Google Images and clicking on the small camera icon in the search bar, shown in this image:
After you click on the camera icon you will be presented with this window:
The process from here is fairly self explanatory, if no results or only one or two results show up it's possible it is the sender's image. However, it could still belong to someone else whom doesn't show up on Google. If there are lots of results you can be fairly sure the person who sent you the image is lying. Other tools can do the same thing as Google's search by image feature, for example, TinEye is a useful tool for the same purpose and often returns different results.
Image Exif Data
When an image is captured a lot of details are recorded, including the camera make, time taken and even details like exposure. If the image is taken using a high quality camera or a phone which "GeoTags" photos, then the images' Exif data can include GPS coordinates that tell you instantly where an image was taken. This can help identify someone in several ways, for example, if they say they live in England yet an image that is supposedly of them was taken in Australia, then there's a high chance they're lying to you about their location or who they really are. Of course, they could have sent you a holiday shot, but that's up to you to decide.
Viewing Exif data is quite easy on Windows, and probably on other operating systems, however I've never tried myself so I won't be talking about those in this article. On Windows you can just right-click the image in Windows Explorer, click properties and go onto the details tab; this will give you some information (but often not all of the information available) in a window like this:
To get more information, you would need some third party software. I personally use the free version of Opanda IExif, although plenty of alternatives are available if you don't like this freeware tool. Opanda IExif is fairly easy to use. You run the program, click on the open button and can see all of the Exif data using the tabs on the top-left of the window. IExif can also be used to edit Exif data if you want to, so don't always count Exif data as reliable. Here's a screenshot of IExif in action:
Exif data is not available on every image. A few image hosting services and social networks remove all Exif data when the image is uploaded, for example Facebook removes Exif data.
Webcam Tracing
This is a bit more complicated than using Exif data to find the location of somebody and often a lot less accurate, especially in the UK where a lot of people use proxies to hide their location without knowing they are. However, in some parts of the US this process can be accurate down to a postcode.
For this article, I will use Omegle to demonstrate, but it will work with Skype, MSN and almost any live video chat program. You will need network analysis software, but it doesn't need to be complex. I use Wireshark, but any should work. Here's how to trace somebody using their webcam:
Step 1: Open Wireshark and Start Packet Capture
Run Wireshark and click on "Capture Options" (1). You will be presented with a new window (2). In this new window you should set the 1st interface option to local (3) and select your interface in the next box (4). If you don't know this, you may need to use trial and error. Once you start the capture, if you don't have the right interface, normally nothing will be found. You should make sure the "Update list of packets in real time" box is ticked (5). Then click "Start" (6).
Step 2: Open Your Choice of IP Address Tracing Websites
I use this website because it is simple and reliable depending on the ISP of the IP address you're attempting to trace. Using this service is quite easy; you enter the IP address into the box next to the "Track IP, host or website" button and click on that button, which will provide you with the information about this IP address.
Step 3: Start a Video Call
Make sure the person you want to trace is transmitting and/or receiving video and be sure you have enough time to trace the person. The first time tracing can take around a minute, but as you get more experienced you can lower this to around 10 seconds. This doesn't seem like long, but on a website like Omegle, it can be hard to find someone who'll stay that long and that you don't want to disconnect from instantly.
Step 4: Identify the IP Address
When you start the capture you should see your screen filled with IP addresses, most of them are unimportant to us and until you start the video call nothing will stand out.
One good thing about tracing via video is that they don't have to be sending, only receiving or vice versa. Once the video call is in progress, two addresses will stand out. One will usually be 192.168.#.##, this is your local IP address and unimportant in this process, the other will be repeated a lot in the source column, destination column or both depending on who is sending and receiving. This IP address is the one of the other person involved in the call.
If more than one IP address is repeated a lot, this could be due to a download or video streaming on your computer. This is an example of how the IP address should stand out:
If you don't see any IP address which stands out then other ways to identify the target address include typing "UDP" in the filter box, because this is normally the protocol used for video calls, or looking for the ports you would usually send and receive video through.
Step 5: Trace the IP Address
Go back to the IP Tracing webpage, enter the IP address you want to trace and click the "Track IP, host or website" button. You should be presented with the location of the IP address. In my experience, the country this website gives is almost always correct, however, in some places the city is not. In some American states, if you are lucky the trace can be narrowed down to a postcode, however, this is normally a little off in my experience.
You now have the location of the IP address you are in a video call with. If this doesn't match where the person claims to be from, they're probably lying. In case you don't believe in the accuracy of this tool, here is an example from my attempts on Omegle. The website doesn't provide the right city every time, but when it does, this clearly has an effect on the person you're speaking to.
The knowledge of someone's location is enough to make them believe a lot, even though my webcam showed me (not very masculine but none the less male), they believed I was named Abi and lived 2 doors down the road from them. It didn't seem to matter that I had never met them and had no evidence other than a ZIP code near them, not even theirs.
This shows how easy making somebody feel they know you is, and even though this person would (I hope) realize I wasn't called Abi, it doesn't take much to make somebody believe you are who you say you are without asking many questions, and shows you should be careful about how much evidence you need before you believe somebody is who they claim to be.
Questions and Answers
This is one of the most basic yet effective ways of finding out if somebody is who they say they are. I find it best to drop questions subtly into the conversation, for example, ask them if they know of a completely made-up street in their town. If they say they do, you should be a little more suspicious.
Another example if they say they live in the same area as you is to ask them something most people in your area have heard about, for example, a small news story or well-known person that isn't easy to find out about on the internet. If they know, it's likely that they genuinely do know the area, but if not, this is yet another reason to be suspicious.
If you ask them about something one day and say you dislike it, they agree and then in a few days you tell them you do like it and they once again agree, then you know they're only saying what you want to hear, again arousing suspicion.
Common Sense
The chances of you meeting someone over the internet from your area who has something you want, whether this is friendship, a "business opportunity" or some way to earn money, are slim, however not non-existent.
On that note, it is very important to closely scrutinize new internet acquaintances but not disregard them altogether immediately, and it's important you realize everything in this article can be faked, so even if somebody seems legit based on this article, you should still be cautious.
If you have any tips on this subject, then please share them in the comments.

Join Us for "Drive To Work Day", April 1
Filed Under Bicycling, Community, Fun stuff to do | 14 Comments
Cascade Bicycle Club, a leader in creating more livable communities through bicycle education, advocacy, events and commuting and riding programs, announces that Wednesday, April 1, 2009 is "Jurassic Petroleum" Drive to Work Day.
Cascade Bicycle Club invites regular non-drivers to join millions of car commuters for "Jurassic Petroleum" Drive to Work Day. While almost two thirds of Americans drive, 37 percent are pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and can't or don't get behind the wheel each day.
In the state of Washington, over two million people do not participate in the act of driving an automobile. Alarmingly, this number may be increasing. The INRIX National Traffic Scorecard showed a three percent decline in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in 2008 from 2007. This resulted in a reduction of road congestion by 30 percent, meaning that our citizens spend much less time in their vehicles. Increases in the number of people who walk, bicycle and ride transit are contributing to a decline in driving that, if continued, would one day make cars scarce on our roads. Our citizens, as well, may shrink in size and become gradually healthier. Something must be done to curb excessive fitness, as increased life expectancies would further tax our broken Social Security system.
Cascade Bicycle Club would like to ask Americans to renew their commitment to driving by leaving their bus passes or bicycles at home. If the cost of parking or gas is a burden, employees may request that their employers help offset those costs by participating in Jurassic Petroleum's Drive to Work Day.

Great City is Hiring
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Great City (formerly Seattle Great City Initiative) is hiring a new Executive Director. As you may have heard, Michael McGinn, Great City's founding ED, has decided to run for Mayor this year. We wish him well, but the work of Great City must go on.
About Great City
Great City's mission is to bring together all members of the community — conservationists, neighborhood advocates, and business people — to listen and learn about obstacles and opportunities, and above all, work to implement pragmatic solutions to realize our common vision. Our effectiveness hinges on our ability to engage diverse communities, and to transcend political and social barriers in order to achieve a common cause.
Great City recently fledged from under the wings of the Cascade Land Conservancy's Cascade Agenda program and is now an independent 501(c)(3) organization. We also invite you to review our strategic plan to see where we intend to move in the future.
Great City has always been a place where people of differing backgrounds come together to find the areas of common purpose and to work toward those ends. In working together, we have been able to create significant results including:
- passage of Complete Streets legislation
- launch of the Streets for People campaign and the Seattle Network
- passage of the Seattle Parks and Green Spaces Levy
- convening of the Leadership for Great Neighborhoods group
- implementation of our Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP)
About the Executive Director
While there are a number of skills that are desirable in a Great City ED, the following qualities are requirements:
- Ability to work with neighborhood, business and environmental leaders
- A belief in the power of people working together to achieve common goals
- A desire to make Seattle a model of economic and environmental sustainability
The right candidate for our new Executive Director will have the right combination of the following skills:
- Leadership experience and the ability to inspire action
- Non-profit management experience:
- multiple programs;
- personnel;
- Grants
- budget ($100K+)
- Fundraising experience including grant writing
- Campaign experience including familiarity with Web 2.0 tools and organizing techniques
- Proven ability to be a clear, effective written and verbal communicator
- Experience working with and lobbying elected officials including an understanding the legal parameters of a 501(c)(3)

What are you making?
Last week at the National Bike Summit, Rep. James Oberstar (head of the House Transportation Committee and a bicycle commuter) pledged to bring us nationally to "Copenhagen levels of bicycling." In case your only Danish points of reference are pastries and large blue cookie tins, half of Copenhageners commute by bike. While this may be an unrealistic goal in the US, there's low-hanging fruit in our large cities.
Localities often have the ingenuity and flexibility to drive change, and more metropolitan areas are recognizing positive impacts of bicyling on the road and for public health. The majority of trips we make nationwide are less than three miles, so encouraging bicycle transportation for commuting and short trips through the day is a no-brainer.
Summit attendees agreed that much can be learned from each city's strengths, though all have at least one blind spot. New York is striping lanes at a breakneck pace and even closing part of Broadway to cars! But they don't have enough bike racks to accommodate hordes of new bicyclists, while Chicago is a leader in providing bike parking. Coordinated data will soon reveal where better facilities, and innovative safety and eduction programs, are getting more cyclists on the road.
What's keeping more people from riding more often in Seattle? Is it safety concerns, the weather or simply the distances needed to be travelled? Add your feedback to the 2009 Report Card on Bicyling by taking Cascade Bicycle Club's survey here.
New City vs. Old City Ideas
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Noted demographer Richard Florida has taken a look at what American
cities and "mega-regions" will rebound from our nation's great
recession – and which won't survive. Check out his ideas in the March
Atlantic Monthly.
Florida looks at the ways that high tech cities, America's magnets for
educated, skilled people, will adjust to the new economy that will
emerge from the deep recession.
"Now we need a 'new spatial fix for the next chapter of American
economic history.' That fix will be high-quality, dense urban spaces in
the elite mega-regions, places where ideas and innovation can most
efficiently percolate much like what were seeing take shape in
(Seattle's) South Lake Union."
Seattle Times business columnist John Talton and Florida argue that
Seattle needs to be more attractive and affordable for all of Americas
classes, not just the upper crust. Urban centers must have
economically diverse populations.
Florida doesn't believe that
suburbia goes away, but that it must be retrofitted with its own urban
centers, just as Seattle is doing.
However Talton and Florida agree that it will be "a hard sell to an
America accustomed to the age of the automobile and the illusion of
endless, wide-open spaces."
As they predict, key improvements to Seattle's emerging urban centers
beyond downtown continue to be denounced by an unlikely combination of
neighborhood folks and poverty activists.
A short piece in early March by John V. Fox of the Seattle Displacement
Coalition dismissed the Mercer East street improvements as a gift to
South Lake Union Urban Center developer Paul Allen – and presumably to
the other developers in the revitalizing South Lake Union.
Fox's Seattle Displacement Coalition has also secured the gutting and
subsequent failure of the bills in the State Legislature's current
session that would require some density around mass transit stations.
He claims that such redevelopment would displace low-cost housing
tenants. But the bills designated stringent goals for the inclusion of
low-cost and subsidized housing in denser redevelopment around light
rail stations. Erica Barnett in the Stranger wrote about the
irrationality of Fox's position on transit station density.
Times writer Talton feels that successful urban centers are key to our
city's economic future. Florida predicts in his At
lantic piece that
the re-set of the American economy will shape cities like Seattle which
Florida includes in his short list of "elite mega-regions."
But Talton warns, "Even many people in blue-and-green Western
Washington may have a hard time with Florida's ultimate conclusion:
that the spread-out, suburbanizing trends of the past 60 years have not
only run their course, but played a major role in distorting the
economy and fueling this recession."

Affordability, Sustainablity and Livability: Thoughts on how we debate our future
Filed Under Innovation, Politics, Sustainability, The Bottom Line, Zoning | Leave a Comment
After spending a lot of time in 2008 watching local land use debates and discussions I found myself feeling more than a little frustrated. Where was all this going? Council discussions seemed to lack focus on a broader agenda for the city. That agenda could be the Comprehensive Plan but that document has become a repository for 'good ideas' and political statements. One would often hear "sure put it in the Comp Plan; it doesn't mean we actually have to do it."
But what if someone asked me "what should our larger focus be, Roger?" I felt as though I needed to at least think through my answer. At the time it seemed to me that it all came down to making the city affordable to a wide range of people, supporting a self-sufficient and sustainable city and making the city livable.
So I proposed that we create a series based on these three ideas and solicit people's best and most succinct thoughts on each topic. The Affordability, Sustainability, Livability series was born. Thanks to Shawna at the DJC we were on our way to at least sparking some discussion about the bigger picture. Seattle is missing a determined effort define what we want and measure our progress toward getting it–whatever it is.
That is why the whole series ends up being about definition and measurement. My experience thus far is there isn't much enthusiasm out there for defining and measuring anything. Defining and measuring doesn't make for great campaign slogans."Vote for me and I will work to get us a clear idea of how far we have to go to effectively address the issues we face as a city!" Not exactly "I Like Ike!"
Unfortunately discussion on zoning, for example, tends to fall along party lines, not Democrat or Republican, but various interest groups claiming they will lose if certain legislation passes. Whether its a parking lot in Capitol Hill or incentive zoning its always a scrimmage between the developer who needs to get the project moving, the local neighborhood and parties on either side that see this particular project as representative of "what's wrong with Seattle."
If this does not substantially change our city will not be able to make progress on addressing big issues like the viaduct, climate change and the health of Puget Sound. And our city simply cannot prepare for coming growth amid such economic turmoil by having a house to house fight (see Edith Macefield) on issues like land use and housing. It will simply be a case of Bambi Meets Godzilla. We will be crushed by events and we'll just have to live with whatever happens to our natural and built environment and our economy.
I hope that doesn't happen.
If you have thoughts on livability (50 words) please submit to them to Shawna (email@example.com) by Thursday of this week. It would be great to have you and others you know weigh in.

Have a good idea for Rain Garden?
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
From our friends at Stewardship Partners:
"As you may know, Stewardship Partners is promoting Low Impact Development (LID) practices to the building community throughout central Puget Sound as a means to reduce polluted stormwater runoff and protect fish and wildlife habitat. Our current focus is a series of rain garden design and construction workshops for homeowners, facility managers, landscapers and the general public. Rain gardens are an effective method for infiltrating stormwater while also enhancing habitat and beautifying the landscape.
As part of our Rain Garden Project, we have obtained funding to install six demonstration rain gardens around King County. We are currently seeking potential sites for the installations to take place. Criteria include: adequate area for the rain garden (approx. 600 square feet), proximity to a building or other impervious surface that could drain into the rain garden, visible site with public interface, willingness to participate in basic maintenance after initial 2 years, and educational mission and/or interest of the host (optional). Potential recipients may include schools or universities, corporate campuses, public buildings, libraries, parks, or private residences. The recipient will not incur any costs for the installation.
If you have suggestions for potential host sites, please forward that to us (preferably with contact information). We will be making selections over the course of the next several weeks.
Thank you for your consideration.

Richard Florida author of The Rise of the Creative Class has a great article in the Atlantic Monthly about "How the Crash will Reshape America" check it out for Florida's predictions about how American Cities, housing, and economic centers will shift. See below for a pdf of the article.
It's here! The Mayor's office has released a 277 page document proposing updates to Seattle's vintage 80′s multi-family zoning code. From the overview, it looks to be a tiny, wobbly baby step in the right direction. However, its general focus seems to be on maintaining Seattle's commitment to unsustainable, traffic-generating, climate-destabilizing exclusionary zoning. If global warming is a house on fire, the Mayor is proposing that we dribble some lukewarm beer on it. Which, I suppose, is better than ignoring it.
The steps in the right direction:
- Reduction in parking requirements;
- Acknowledgment that people may want to live near transit hubs;
- Floor Area Ratios instead of footprint controls in L3 zones, plus additional floor bonuses in Station Areas;
- Substantial height bonuses for "affordable" high-rise housing on First Hill
Over the next few months, Sally Clark's Land Use Committee will be working on this. While the update doesn't look like it will do much to improve Seattle, it probably won't do much harm. Unless you think missing an opportunity to mitigate traffic, sprawl, and climate destabilization is harmful.
Online Networks and Government
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
What role should social networking tools play with regard to government? One obvious use is as a tool to organize individuals to lobby elected officials, e.g. Facebook Cause pages. Another is to organize individuals into communities to take action — as parks advocates did with the Seattle Parks For All levy. But there is the opportunity for online networks to deliver something potentially more meaningful – real and rich conversations between government employees and citizens.
With the launch of the my.greatcity.org community website, we have our own little experiment going on regarding citizen interaction with government. Specifically, the city's online invitation to Seattle residents to participate in shaping Seattle's Summer Streets events, which closes streets to automobiles and opens them up to alternative uses. Not earth-shattering, but definitely an evolution from the typical government website which pushes information out, but does not encourage dialogue. Another example is the request for volunteers for the first Summer Streets event in Greenwood. I posted some information from a recent Pedestrian Master Plan Advisory Group meeting that I thought might spur discussion. And our green infrastructure campaign has pulled in observers from city government.
These are, at best, toes dipped into the water of online interaction between government and residents. We have created a place where government employees and residents can talk, if they choose. But the promise appears so much greater. Can government jump into the Web 2.0 pool and use it to deliver better government services? We have some pretty powerful examples in Wikipedia, Linux, and YouTube creating an encyclopedia, a computer operating system and a massive media catalog by harnessing the power of the crowd.
It turns out that thousands of government employees from around the nation are asking themselves the same question on the social networking site GovLoop.com. How can government go Web 2.0?
Seems to me that tech-friendly Seattle could lead the way. The barrier, of course, is not technology. It is about taking a risk and engaging new ways of communicating.
Seattle Updates Recycling Program
Filed Under Conservation, Environment, Sustainability, Syndicated Blogs | Leave a Comment
The City of Seattle has announced a revamping of its recycling program starting March 30th. The goal is to make the process simpler and increase the number of individuals who recycle, reducing the amount of garbage to be processed. The new program will allow residents and businesses to reduce, reuse and recycle more than ever before.
The biggest changes are the ability to combine glass, paper, plastic and aluminum all into the same bin rather than separating. Now you can also recycle additional paper, plastic and metal items including plastic cups, deli trays, aluminum foil and plastic plant pots. In the yard-waste bins you will now be able to toss food waste that will be composted rather than thrown away. The yard waste bin will be picked up every week to keep food odors to a minimum.
These changes are possible due to Seattle's new recycling contract with Rabanco, who will process, sort and market the recyclable materials. The Rabanco Recycling Center is the largest on the West Coast. The combination of the recently added high tech recycling equipment and 40 additional sorters allows more volume and higher quality sorting.

Bicycling To Sustainability
Filed Under Bicycling, Syndicated Blogs, Transportation | Leave a Comment
The Danish seem to have it figured out…
They have one of the highest bike ridership in the world and they do it in style. More than 36 percent of all Copenhagen commuters arrive on bikes, as cycling has clearly become a way of life there. The city is currently planning and implementing infrastructure improvements to increase bicycling commuter use to 50 percent by 2015. Currently over 60 percent of Copenhagen's residents use their bike every day and 85 percent own a bike creating a diverse bike culture.
The Livable Copenhagen study shows how flexible streets-capes have encouraged pedestrian and bicycle use while enhancing urban life. Employing blue painted bike lanes and set back car stop zones are examples of the creative strategies used to improve safety and draw awareness to the presence of the bicycling community. Other innovative ideas include setting the traffic lights to the average speed of bicycle commuters and buses which happens to be the same 20km per hour….commonly revered to as the "green wave". Cophenhagen has 15km of cycle lanes, 350km of cycle tracks and are building another 115km of green cycle tracks that supplement the existing network. Programs like the City Bike allows users to make a small coin deposit, use the bike for the day and simply return the bike to a City Bike rack and the deposit is returned. With such a friendly environment for cyclists and pedestrians it does not make sense to drive a vehicle in the city unless a unique situation requires it.
In my home town of Seattle the Bicycle Master Plan has been adopted to create the most bike friendly city in the nation. Seattle's plan calls for 118 miles of bike lanes and 19 miles of dedicated trails, with a goal to triple ridership. Seattle is taking examples from cities like Copenhagen to compete with its neighbor city of Portland that has a booming bike culture and higher ridership.

[more ▼] Introduction and objectives: In Crohn's disease (CD), there is a discrepancy between clinical activity of the disease (symptoms) and intestinal healing. However absence of tissue healing is associated with the risk of relapse and tissue damage progression. Endoscopy is costly and invasive. Hence biomarkers correlating with intestinal healing could improve disease management. We aimed to identify potential biomarkers associated to CD mucosal healing by a shotgun proteomics label free study. Methods: We used the STORI clinical trial cohort (n=103) aiming at identifying markers associated to relapse prediction after Infliximab treatment withdrawals. We used serum samples of patients in clinical remission, grouped according to the degree of intestinal healing seen at endoscopy. We performed depletion of the 20 most abundant plasma proteins on each serum pools and ran a proteomics label free differential analysis using 2D-nanoUPLC-MSE HDMS Synapt G1 for data acquisition and Protein Lynks Global Server vs 2.4 for data analysis (Waters, Corp., Milford, USA). Results and Discussion: We obtained potential biomarkers and designed a multiplexed -selected reaction monitoring (SRM) method for validation of these candidates in each individual patient. The method may also be tested in an independent set of IBD patients with and without mucosal healing. Conclusions: This research strategy and results of SRM validation of potential biomarkers associated to mucosal healing in this cohort of CD patients as well as the tests done on other CD patients, may provide new opportunities for CD follow-up tests development.

[more ▼] PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to control the in vivo localisation of implanted cells in cell-based therapies. Labelling cells with (111)indium-oxine is one of the most interesting methods proposed. We evaluated this method in the setting of autologous osteoblast implantation in nonunion fractures. METHODS: An in vitro study of osteoblasts was conducted after (111)indium-oxine labelling. Radioactivity retention and viability, proliferation and the ability to produce alkaline phosphatase were evaluated in a seven-day culture. In vivo labelling of implanted osteoblastic cells was conducted during a therapeutic trial of atrophic nonunion fractures, with the leakage outside the nonunion site and local uptake evolution at four, 24 and 48 hour being studied. RESULTS: The mean labelling efficiency for osteoprogenitors was 78.8 +/- 4.6 %. The intracellular retention was 89.4 +/- 2.1 % at three hours and 67.3 +/- 4.7 % at 18 hours. The viability assessed at three hours was 93.7 +/- 0.6 %. After seven days of culture, morphology and alkaline phosphatase staining were similar for both labelled and unlabelled control cells, although the proliferation rate was decreased in the labelled cells. Some local intraosseous leakage was observed in four of 17 cases. All patients showed uptake at the injection site, with four having no other uptake. Four patients showed additional uptake in the bladder, liver and spleen, while 11 patients had additional uptake in the lungs in addition to the bladder, liver and spleen. The activity ratios (injection site/body) were 48 +/- 28 % at four hours, 40 +/- 25 % at 24 hours and 35 +/- 25 % at 48 hours. After correcting for decay, the activity within the injection site was 82 +/- 15 % at 24 hours and 69 +/- 11 % at 48 hours compared with the activity measured at four hours. No relationship was found between uptake and radiological bone repair. CONCLUSIONS: The (111)indium-oxine labelling appears to be a good method for monitoring the behaviour of the osteoblastic cells after their implantation in atrophic nonunion fractures.

[more ▼] Leptin plays a central role in maintaining energy balance, with multiple other systemic effects. Despite leptin importance in peripheral regulation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) differentiation, little is known on its expression mechanism. Leptin is often described as adipokine, while it is expressed by other cell types. We have recently shown an in vitro leptin expression, enhanced by glucocorticoids in synovial fibroblasts. Here, we investigated leptin expression in MSC from bone marrow (BM-MSC), cord matrix (UMSC), and primary and dedifferentiated chondrocytes (DCH). Results showed that BM-MSC, but not UMSC, expressed leptin that was strongly enhanced by glucocorticoids. Interestingly, chondrocytes gained leptin expression progressively with dedifferentiation. This dedifferentiation was correlated with downregulation of ALK-5 expression, Smad2 phosphorylation (p-Smad2), and gain of ALK-1 expression and Smad1/5 phosphorylation (p-Smad1/5). TGF-β1 was shown to signal via ALK-5-Smad2/3 and/or ALK-1-Smad1/5 pathways. In BM-MSC, TGF-β1 increased p-Smad2 expression and markedly inhibited endogenous- and glucocorticoidinduced leptin expression, while ALK-5 inhibitor (SB431542) induced and restored this expression. In addition, both prednisolone and <br />SB431542 increased p-Smad1/5 expression. These results suggested ALK-5-Smad2 pathway as inhibitor of leptin expression, while ALK-1-Smad1/5 as activator. Indeed, Smad1 expression silencing induced leptin expression inhibition. Furthermore, prednisolone enhanced the expression of TGF-βRII while decreasing p-Smad2 in BM-MSC and SVF but not in UMSC. In vitro differentiation revealed differential osteogenic potential in SVF, BM-MSC and UMSC that correlates to their leptin expression potential. Our results suggest that ALK-1/ALK-5 balance regulates leptin expression in MSC. It also underlines UMSC as leptin non-producer MSC for cell therapy protocols where leptin expression is not suitable.

[more ▼] OBJECTIVE: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a heterogeneous, complex joint pathology of unknown aetiology. Biomarkers have been widely used to investigate OA but currently available biomarkers lack specificity and sensitivity. Therefore, novel biomarkers are needed to better understand the pathophysiological processes of OA initiation and progression. METHODS: Surface enhanced laser desorption/ionisation-time of flight-mass spectrometry proteomic technique was used to analyse protein expression levels in 284 serum samples from patients with knee OA classified according to Kellgren and Lawrence (K&L) score (0-4). OA serum samples were also compared to serum samples provided by healthy individuals (negative control subjects; NC; n=36) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (n=25). Proteins that gave similar signal in all K&L groups of OA patients were ignored, whereas proteins with increased or decreased levels of expression were selected for further studies. RESULTS: Two proteins were found to be expressed at higher levels in sera of OA patients at all four K&L scores compared to NC and RA, and were identified as V65 vitronectin fragment and C3fpeptide. Of the two remaining proteins, one showed increased expression (unknown protein at m/z of 3762) and the other (identified as connective tissue-activating peptide III protein) was decreased in K&L scores >2 subsets compared to NC, RA and K&L scores 0 or 1 subsets. CONCLUSION: The authors detected four unexpected biomarkers (V65 vitronectin fragment, C3f peptide, CTAP-III and m/z 3762 protein) that could be relevant in the pathophysiological process of OA as having significant correlation with parameters reflecting local inflammation and bone remodelling, as well as decrease in cartilage turnover.

[more ▼] OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of mycophenolate mofetil compared with intravenous pulses of cyclophosphamide on the nonrenal manifestations of lupus nephritis. METHODS: Patients with active lupus nephritis (renal biopsy class III, IV, or V) were recruited for the study (n = 370) and treated with mycophenolate mofetil (target dosage 3 gm/day) or intravenous cyclophosphamide (0.5-1.0 gm/m(2)/month), plus tapered prednisone, for 24 weeks. Nonrenal outcomes were determined using measures of whole body disease activity, including the British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) disease activity index, the Safety of Estrogens in Lupus Erythematosus: National Assessment (SELENA) version of the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI), and immunologic variables. RESULTS: Both treatments were effective on whole body disease activity in the systems examined, as indicated by changes in the classic BILAG index. With either treatment, remission was induced, notably in the mucocutaneous, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular/respiratory, and vasculitis systems, and flares were rare, as measured by the SELENA-SLEDAI. Levels of complement C3, C4, and CH50 and titers of anti-double-stranded DNA antibodies were normalized after treatment with either mycophenolate mofetil or intravenous cyclophosphamide. CONCLUSION: In addition to the efficacy of both treatments on the renal system, this analysis showed that remission could also be induced in other systems. There was no clear difference in efficacy between mycophenolate mofetil and intravenous cyclophosphamide in ameliorating either the renal or nonrenal manifestations. Mycophenolate mofetil is, therefore, a suitable alternative to cyclophosphamide for the treatment of renal and nonrenal disease manifestations in patients with biopsy-proven lupus nephritis.

[more ▼] In most diseases, the clinical need for serum/plasma markers has never been so crucial, not only for diagnosis, but also for the selection of the most efficient therapies, as well as exclusion of ineffective or toxic treatment. Due to the high sample complexity, prefractionation is essential for exploring the deep proteome and finding specific markers. In this study, three different sample preparation methods (i.e., highly abundant protein precipitation, restricted access materials (RAM) combined with IMAC chromatography and peptide ligand affinity beads) were investigated in order to select the best fractionation step for further differential proteomic experiments focusing on the LMW proteome (MW inferior to 40,000 Da). Indeed, the aim was not to cover the entire plasma/serum proteome, but to enrich potentially interesting tissue leakage proteins. These three methods were evaluated on their reproducibility, on the SELDI-TOF-MS peptide/protein peaks generated after fractionation and on the information supplied. The studied methods appeared to give complementary information and presented good reproducibility (below 20%). Peptide ligand affinity beads were found to provide efficient depletion of HMW proteins and peak enrichment in protein/peptide profiles.

[more ▼] Many studies have drawn attention to the emerging role of MSC (mesenchymal stem cells) as a promising population supporting new clinical concepts in cellular therapy. However, the sources from which these cells can be isolated are still under discussion. Whereas BM (bone marrow) is presented as the main source of MSC, despite the invasive procedure related to this source, the possibility of isolating sufficient numbers of these cells from UCB (umbilical cord blood) remains controversial. Here, we present the results of experiments aimed at isolating MSC from UCB, BM and UCM (umbilical cord matrix) using different methods of isolation and various culture media that summarize the main procedures and criteria reported in the literature. Whereas isolation of MSC were successful from BM (10:10) and (UCM) (8:8), only one cord blood sample (1:15) gave rise to MSC using various culture media [DMEM (Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium) +5% platelet lysate, DMEM+10% FBS (fetal bovine serum), DMEM+10% human UCB serum, MSCGM] and different isolation methods [plastic adherence of total MNC (mononuclear cells), CD3+/CD19+/CD14+/CD38+-depleted MNC and CD133+- or LNGFR+-enriched MNC]. MSC from UCM and BM were able to differentiate into adipocytes, osteocytes and hepatocytes. The expansion potential was highest for MSC from UCM. The two cell populations had CD90+/CD73+/CD105+ phenotype with the additional expression of SSEA4 and LNGFR for BM MSC. These results clearly exclude UCB from the list of MSC sources for clinical use and propose instead UCM as a rich, non-invasive and abundant source of MSC.

[more ▼] OBJECTIVES: To determine clinical and ultrasonographic predictors of joint replacement surgery across Europe in primary osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. METHODS: This was a 3-year prospective study of a painful OA knee cohort (from a EULAR-sponsored, multicentre study). All subjects had clinical evaluation, radiographs and ultrasonography (US) at study entry. The rate of knee replacement surgery over the 3-year follow-up period was determined using Kaplan-Meier survival data analyses. Predictive factors for joint replacement were identified by univariate log-rank test then multivariate analysis using a Cox proportional-hazards regression model. Potential baseline predictors included demographic, clinical, radiographic and US features. RESULTS: Of the 600 original patients, 531 (88.5%), mean age 67+/-10 years, mean disease duration 6.1+/-6.9 years, had follow-up data and were analysed. During follow-up (median 3 years; range 0-4 years), knee replacement was done or required for 94 patients (estimated event rate of 17.7%). In the multivariate analysis, predictors of joint replacement were as follows: Kellgren and Lawrence radiographic grade (grade > or =III vs <III, hazards ratio (HR) = 4.08 (95% CI 2.34 to 7.12), p<0.0001); ultrasonographic knee effusion (> or =4 mm vs <4 mm) (HR = 2.63 (95% CI 1.70 to 4.06), p<0.0001); knee pain intensity on a 0-100 mm visual analogue scale (> or =60 vs <60) (HR = 1.81 (95% CI 1.15 to 2.83), p=0.01) and disease duration (> or =5 years vs <5 years) (HR=1.63 (95% CI 1.08 to 2.47), p=0.02). Clinically detected effusion and US synovitis were not associated with joint replacement in the univariate analysis. CONCLUSION: Longitudinal evaluation of this OA cohort demonstrated significant progression to joint replacement. In addition to severity of radiographic damage and pain, US-detected effusion was a predictor of subsequent joint replacement.

It describes the dynamics of cell regulation by detecting molecular events related to diseases development. Proteomic techniques focus mainly on identification of new biomarkers or new therapeutic targets. It is a multidisciplinary approach using medical, biological, bioanalytical and bioinformatics knowledges. A strong collaboration between these fields allowed SELDI-TOF-MS proteomics studies to be performed at the CHU and the University of Liege, in GIGA-Research facilities. The aim of these studies was driven along three main axes of research related to the identification of biomarkers specific to a studied pathology, to a common biological pathway and, finally, to a treatment response.

[more ▼] INTRODUCTION: Osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head can lead to femoral head collapse, necessitating total hip replacement. Reports of patients suffering from both ON and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) have prompted us to evaluate the relationship between ON and IBD, especially Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. METHODS: A review of the data from three new cases, along with data from all the published cases of patients presenting ON and IBD found through a systematic search of the Pub Med database. RESULTS: We encountered some diagnostic problems: The ON diagnosis could not be confirmed in some patients who did not meet the ON diagnostic criteria. Reviewed data was too weak to assess the exact incidence of ON in IBD. Corticosteroid therapy, especially in high dose regimens, is likely the most important etiological factor. No evidence supporting other physiopathological hypothesis, such as total parenteral nutrition, osteoporosis, or coagulation disorders, was found. Finally, the multifocal form of ON appears particularly common in IBD, with some patients presenting multiple lesions of the hip, shoulder, knee and talus. CONCLUSIONS: ON in IBD, which is frequently multifocal, appears to be a complication of corticosteroid therapy, especially when high doses are used. We recommend regular ON checkups for corticosteroid-treated IBD patients.

[more ▼] Recent studies have suggested that mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) may offer advantages over intravenous cyclophosphamide (IVC) for the treatment of lupus nephritis, but these therapies have not been compared in an international randomized, controlled trial. Here, we report the comparison of MMF and IVC as induction treatment for active lupus nephritis in a multinational, two-phase (induction and maintenance) study. We randomly assigned 370 patients with classes III through V lupus nephritis to open-label MMF (target dosage 3 g/d) or IVC (0.5 to 1.0 g/m(2) in monthly pulses) in a 24-wk induction study. Both groups received prednisone, tapered from a maximum starting dosage of 60 mg/d. The primary end point was a prespecified decrease in urine protein/creatinine ratio and stabilization or improvement in serum creatinine. Secondary end points included complete renal remission, systemic disease activity and damage, and safety. Overall, we did not detect a significantly different response rate between the two groups: 104 (56.2%) of 185 patients responded to MMF compared with 98 (53.0%) of 185 to IVC. Secondary end points were also similar between treatment groups. There were nine deaths in the MMF group and five in the IVC group. We did not detect significant differences between the MMF and IVC groups with regard to rates of adverse events, serious adverse events, or infections. Although most patients in both treatment groups experienced clinical improvement, the study did not meet its primary objective of showing that MMF was superior to IVC as induction treatment for lupus nephritis.

However, the synovial fibroblast adipogenesis was inhibited in inflammatory conditions induced by the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Furthermore, adipogenesis is often accompanied by leptin production, a proinflammatory adipokine in rheumatic diseases. In this study, we tested the phytohormone genistein for adipogenic and anti-inflammatory properties on human synovial fibroblasts. Results showed that genistein was able to transform synovial fibroblasts into adipocytes that expressed perilipin-A and produced adiponectin, but not leptin. Furthermore, genistein enhanced glucocorticoid-mediated synovial fibroblast adipogenesis and, in parallel, downregulated glucocorticoid-induced leptin and leptin receptor. Endogenous and TNF-alpha-induced expressions of IL-6, IL-8, p38, p65 and C/EBP-beta were also downregulated by genistein, showing its anti-inflammatory properties. Peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) agonist, rosiglitazone, had a synergic effect on genistein-induced whereas the non-active tyrosine kinase inhibitor, daidzein, had a significantly inferior adipogenic activity than genistein. The Janus kinase-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, AG 490, mimicked the anti-leptin effect of genistein. These results showed that genistein-induced adipogenesis involves PPAR-gamma induction and tyrosine kinase inhibition. In conclusion, genistein, alone or coupled with glucocorticoids, have both adipogenic and anti-inflammatory effects on synovial fibroblasts. [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 87 (20 ULg) |

I use la's totally awesome on everything. My tub is old and it doesn't work real well for that but to each is own right. I have really old tile in my house like 30 years old probably and use it straight on the floor wait 15 minutes and every little stain or mark comes right off. It works really good for taking stains out of the kids clothes. It even took out blood stains. |

Hummmm, the SPAM filter must not be working! |
to set the record straight-this is not SPAM! I was thrown off by the title of "La's Totally" but checked my bottle and that is how it is offically called. This product is sold at the Dollar Tree Stores for a $1.oo . First learned of it when I worked for a Hospice House. The contributor is correct cleans just about everything, including stains on car seats. It is sold in a spray bottle. I get the orange one. Now when I go to the store I pick up four or five bottles. Be careful on furniture. I have old kitchen chairs I lacqued myself and it did remove some of the laqure (sp?) I do my walls and ceiling all of the time with it plus painted cabinets. I recommend Awesome all of the time. Just setting the record straight NO SPAM Thanks Jacque |

When it is that way it is so pretty. We have have several times this winter when we get the snow fog, sticks to everything, sun out, just sparkles. |
We haven't got the big flake, tree decoration type snow yet. What we have been getting are Alberta Clippers that race through about every two days and lays down 1 to 2 inches of fluff. |
I'm sure it's lovely - lived in snow areas all my life, but I'll keep my little piece of Paradise - 60 degrees this morning - no snow here! |
We just had a sprinkling. I love when it looks beautiful but the roads are all clear. |

Dual Boot: If you want a Dual boot PC, which means you want both Windows and Linux Mint on your machine, you must follow these instructions.
Requirements: In order to create a dual boot machine, Windows should be already installed on your PC. There should be a separate partition with free space for Linux Mint 11 installation. If you don't have any free space then first you need to reinstall Windows on your PC and create a separate partition for Linux Mint 11.
During Windows installation, allocate desired space for Windows (20-50GB) and leave remaining space free for Linux Mint and data.
I know it may be a bit difficult if you are doing it for the first time, but once it is done your hard-drive is future ready for dual boot for ever. You will be free to upgrade to the newer version of Linux Mint whenever you want.
Dual Boot Installation
Insert the Live CD/DVD or LiveUSB (as prefered) and restart the PC. After restarting you will see this screen. In order to install Linux Mint 11, click on the Install Linux Mint button.
1. Select Language and click forward. English is the default language which you can easily change. Click Forward
2. Preparing To Install Linux Mint: In this window Linux Mint 11 will give you info about your System. You must have at least 3.9GB of free space for installation. If you are using netbook/laptop, make sure it is plugged in to a power source so that the battery doesn't run down during installation. If you have a LAN connection for the Internet, please connect it to your PC.
A window will pop-up warning you about a mounted partition. It is the same partition which is being used as the Live USB. So you can select No.
3. Allocate Drive Space
Select "Something Else" on this window
4. Allocate Device Space.
In this Windows you can see all the partitions including Windows partition (ntfs) and free space for Linux Mint 11. If there is data on the partition where you want to install Linux Mint, select that partition and click on Delete button which will create the free space.
5 Select the free space and click on Add button, you will be greeted with this window.
Create a news partition
– New Partition size in megabytes: Enter 8000 or 15000 (for giving 8GB or 15GB for root)
– Location of the new partition: Beginning
– Use as: Ext4
– Mount Point: select / from drop down
→ Now click OK. It will scan the drive and create the root partition.
Create Swap for Linux Mint 11
Now we need to create a Swap partition. Select the free space and click on Add. A window will open (screenshot below).
– New partition size in megabytes: Must be appropriate as explained here. Give as much space as you have the amount of RAM. If you have more than 4GB RAM give 1000 only. I am giving 2000 (2GB) as I have 2GB Ram on this PC.
– Location for the new partition: Beginning
– Use as : select 'swap area' from the drop down menu.
– There is no option of mount point.
→ Click OK.
Now you can see the newly created root and swap partitions.
Create Partitions for Linux Mint
In order to create partitions for data select the free space and click on add
– Type of new partition: Logical
– New Partition size in megabytes: Enter remaining size or what ever size you want to give to this partition
– Location of the new partition: Beginning
– Use as: Ext4
– Mount Point: enter /media/data.
Here you can choose name of your preference instead of data if you want. It must be alphabets in lowercase — as short as possible.
→ Now click OK. It will scan the drive and create the partition.
5. Click on Install Now.
6. Where are you. You will see a Map, you can select your location by either pin-pointing your position on the map or entering the region in the box below.
→ Forward
7. Keyboard Layout. If you are using non-American/English keyboard, you can select the language here. Once selected you can test if it is correct by typing in the box
→ Forward
8. Who are you?
In this window you have to enter your name. It will automatically create the computer name, which you can change if you want. It will also suggest a username which you can change in 'Pick a username' box. You will need this username to log into your system.
Next option is password. Create a good password and confirm it. If you want to skip the login window every time you restart your PC, you can select 'Log in automatically.
You can leave the Encrypt my home folder unchecked.
→ Forward
9. Now there isn't much for you to do. Linux Mint will start the installation process which will take couple of minutes. During the installation process you can enjoy the slideshow about the cool features of Linux Mint.
10. Once the installation is finished, click on the 'Restart' button to reboot the PC into your new system. Remove the CD/DVD or the LiveUSB before the PC starts otherwise it will boot into the Live Linux Mint again.

Story Highlight
JT's rocking a dapper suit in this lyric video.
Justin Timberlake debuted the official Suit & Tie lyric video online today and surprisingly, it's not just a collection of words on the screen.
We do actually get to see the singer himself, driving around, getting ready (obviously dressed up in a suit & tie) and having some cigar time. Unfortunatey Jay-Z doesn't make an appearance, but we're hoping he's in the actual music video.
Check out the combination of black & white film with bits of subtle animation below:
Meanwhile JT has confirmed he's going to make his first live appearance in more than four years next month.
He'll take to the stage on the 2nd February – the night before the Super Bowl – in New Orleans.

whatsheearns.co.uk is the new pay website specifically for women from the people that brought you PayWizard.co.uk We've all heard about the "gender pay gap", the gulf between men and women's pay which persists in spite of 40 years of equal pay legislation, but what can you actually do about it?

The Equal Pay Act was responsible for major changes in women's pay. Read more about the history behind the Equal Pay Act.
Worldwide the average gender pay gap is 16 percent. No matter how hard they study and even when they are better educated, women do not really catch up with the pay levels of their male colleagues. Amongst trade union members in general the gender pay gap is somewhat smaller. For more results consult the ITUC Gender Pay Gap Report.
A survey shows that women are more likely to be unhappy with their pay than men, but are also less likely to do anything about it. Find out more here

Attributed to Adam Weisweiler French, Paris, about 1810 Oak veneered with ebony and pewter; set with pietre dure plaques; gilt bronze mounts; portor d'Italie marble tops H: 3 ft. 4 in. x W: 4 ft. 11 1/8 in. x D: 1 ft. 8 7/8 in. 76.DA.9.1
Northern European tourists and collectors in the 1600s and 1700s eagerly acquired pietre dure (hardstone) plaques and mosaic scenes produced by Roman craftsmen on trips to Italy. When the travelers returned home, they had these souvenirs mounted onto boxes and furniture. The hardstone plaques on this pair of cabinets all date from the late 1600s; they were probably made by Italian craftsmen working in Paris at the Gobelins Manufactory. Because of their value and continued popularity with collectors, these plaques were mounted in cabinets specially designed to hold them, nearly one hundred years after their creation. The catalogues of two sales held during the French Revolution describe this cabinet. William Beckford, a wealthy English connoisseur of hardstones, probably purchased it in the late 1700s. He may have ordered another cabinet made to match it, with identical gilt bronze mounts and dimensions.

I am working as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the "Physics of Galactic Nuclei" group of
Andi Burkert
at the Max-Planck-Institute
for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching and the USM in Munich.
I am especially interested in the formation, evolution and characteristics of gas and dust tori,
which are an important part of the current model of Active Galactic Nuclei.
To study this, we use hydrodynamic simulations with the help of the
PLUTO-code. Subsequent radiative transfer modelling with
and RADMC-3D
enables us to derive observable quantities like spectral energy distributions and
surface brightness distributions and visibility information, which can
be compared to observations.
Recently I have also become interested in the Galactic Centre of the Milky Way and high-redshift galaxy formation.
