TED Talk: Understanding cancer through proteomics (59 comments)
This TED.com talk by Danny Hillis is informative on this topic, http://www.ted.com/talks/danny_hillis_two_frontiers_of_cancer_treatment.html "Danny Hills makes a case for the next frontier of cancer research: proteomics, the study of proteins in the body. As Hillis explains it, genomics shows us a list of the ingredients of the body -- while proteomics shows us what those ingredients produce. Understanding what's going on in your body at the protein level may lead to a new understanding of how cancer happens."

Unicorns and wizard sleeves
from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (Ft. Macklemore) – Castle Lyrics on Genius
This is a sexual innuendo. wizard sleeves is slang to describe a woman's vagina and unicorn is an obvious phallic symbol.

More On Legal & Compliance
from The Advisor's Professional Library- The Custody Rule and its Ramifications When an RIA takes custody of a clients funds or securities, risk to that individual increases dramatically. Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act (better known as the Custody Rule), was passed to protect clients from unscrupulous investors.
- Client Commission Practices and Soft Dollars RIAs should always evaluate whether the products and services they receive from broker-dealers are appropriate. The SEC suggested that an RIAs failure to stay within the scope of the Section 28(e) safe harbor may violate the advisors fiduciary duty to clients, so RIAs must evaluate their soft dollar relationships on a regular basis to ensure they are disclosed properly and that they do not negatively impact the best execution of clients transactions.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has finished its investigation of Warren Buffett's possible successor, David Sokol, regarding possible insider trading.
The Wall Street Journal reported Jan. 3 that the SEC has decided "not to take action," according to Sokol's attorney.
SEC spokesman John Nester declined to provide a comment on the matter to AdvisorOne, stating that any letter to terminate an investigation is not a public document.
The Journal reported that Barry Wm. Levine, Sokol's lawyer, said he was informed on Jan. 3 that the SEC had wrapped up its investigation and decided not to take action.
"There has been a thorough legal analysis and factual scrutiny and the SEC has concluded, as we have always maintained, that David Sokol never did anything wrong," Levine told The Journal.
While Buffett has named his son Howard as his possible successor as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Sokol, Buffett's former No. 2 at the company, was also considered a possible successor until it was discovered that he had bought millions of dollars in stock in Lubrizol Corp. before suggesting Buffett, the Berkshire CEO, buy the chemical company.
Sokol abruptly resigned in March 2011 after that news came to light.
As The Journal reports, at issue in the SEC investigation was Sokol's purchase of about $10 million worth of shares of Lubrizol, a stake that rose in value by about $3 million when Berkshire bought the company.
According to The Journal, Sokol first bought shares of Lubrizol in December 2010 and January 2011 after discussing the company with investment bankers. He subsequently recommended that Buffett buy the chemicals firm. Two months later, in March, Berkshire said it would acquire Lubrizol for $9 billion.
A 2011 report by the audit committee of Berkshire's board concluded Sokol had misled Buffett about how he first heard about Lubrizol, The Journal says.
The SEC began investigating the investment shortly after Sokol resigned from Berkshire. Says The Journal report: "Buffett said at the time that Berkshire had turned over 'very damning evidence' about the purchases to the SEC."

In Wang Lang market in Phra Nakhon district, city life hums and throbs and commuters and residents rush about their daily chores. It's a typical everyday scene.
A group of Down syndrome children perform a 'Gangnam Style' dance at the annual meeting of parents and supporters at Siriraj Hospital recently. TAWATCHAI KHEMGUMNERD
But a short distance away, inside a building, a group of people are captivated by a starkly contrasting scene and a much slower pace of life. On a stage, 18-year-old Nong Fah dances slowly and carefully in front of a group of 50 parents and their children.

Surface-to-air missile defence – lots of talk, but little action
In the wake of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 being shot down a few weeks ago allegedly by a surface-to-air missile, many words have been written about the need to protect passenger aircraft from such threats.

Following a successful […]
The threat, the solution – and the dilemma
The moment of truth is approaching at the cruising speed of an airliner – will airlines around the world equip their fleets with systems capable of defeating shoulder-launched missiles?When these systems were mere ideas in the heads of some engineers, this question was very not relevant. But now such a system has reached a point […]
Protection against shoulder-launched missiles, mandatory?
How realistic is it that passenger aircraft might be equipped with protection systems against the threat of shoulder-launched missiles?I think that unless regulatory bodies decide these systems are mandatory, they will not be fitted. To mount these systems on an aircraft would mean less passengers in the cabin, which would not please the airlines. Only […]

Parker unloads venture after attempt to enter Saudi Arabia market
- Ford Gunter
- Houston Business Journal
Houston-based Parker Drilling Co. has sold its 50 percent interest in a Saudi Arabian joint venture that was to mark the Houston company's entrance into that Middle East market.
Parker's ownership in the venture, dubbed Al-Rushaid Parker Drilling Co. Ltd., lasted just more than two years.
The joint venture was formed by Parker and an affiliate of Abdullah Rasheed Al-Rushaid Co. in February 2006 to perform four drilling contracts awarded by Saudi Aramco.
But earlier this month, Parker, which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, announced its intent to sell its half to an affiliate of Abdullah Rasheed Al-Rushaid Co. for $2 million. The sale closed last week.
In the end, Parker blamed delays in China that led to the late delivery of what it says were substandard rigs.
"Due to construction delays and cost overruns, including remedial work to correct problems with construction, integration of components and rig specifications to bring the rigs up to Parker's strict quality and safety standards, the joint venture expected to incur approximately $60 (million) to $70 million in additional construction costs, 50 percent of which would have been contributed by Parker," says Rose Maltby, a spokeswoman for Parker. "In addition to these increased costs, the delays in delivery and start-up resulting from the poor condition of the rigs on arrival, triggered liquidated damages due to the customer, Saudi Aramco."
Maltby says Parker accrued $13.8 million of liquidated damages in the fourth quarter of 2007 related to the venture. The company also recorded $9.8 million in operating losses during the period, and provided a $3.5 million reserve for advances related to the joint venture.
Hailed as Parker's initial entry into Saudi Arabia, the deal was never expected to be a cash cow.
"Although the financial impact to Parker should be minimal during initial years of the project, this market offers excellent opportunities for sustained growth for many years to come," Parker President and CEO Robert Parker Jr. said at the time the deal was announced.
Rather than incurring the "significant liabilities" that would have racked up if Parker moved forward with the project, Maltby says, the company instead cut bait on its $10 million initial investment. As part of the buyout, Parker will receive aggregate payments of $2 million, and will report a net loss of $1.5 million on the project.
Doug Sheridan of Houston's EnergyPoint Research Inc. doesn't view the dissolution as a major concern in the short- or long-term for Parker.
"I suspect management simply made the decision that Parker could, in the long run, complete more effectively in the region on a stand-alone basis," he says. "While Parker might have missed a particularly frothy part of the cycle, Saudi Arabia has traditionally been willing to make it worth Western suppliers' time to work in the country across the cycle. Thus, I suspect Parker's ability to bid for, and potentially win, worthwhile business in the region in the future will not be hampered by their decision to go it alone."
In the end, Sheridan says, it may have been a case of a bad deal instead of a bad market.
"Management might have concluded that it made more sense to simply regroup and attempt to re-enter the (Saudi) market at a later date with equipment that would not be shrouded with concerns that have accompanied equipment manufactured in China," he says.
Likewise, the company -- which has 3,000 employees in 12 countries on 47 marketed rigs, including in Kuwait and Libya -- says it has not given up on Saudi Arabia, and will look in nearby countries as well.
"Following the sale of our interest in the joint venture, we will be in a position to invest those funds in opportunities that have a greater potential to provide our shareholders with growth and profitability consistent with our strategic plan," Parker said in a statement. "We believe that the North Africa/Middle East market is an area with long-term growth potential. We will continue our efforts in this region and in other key international markets."

Being close to pelicans, serekes, iguanas, often wandering around! No insects. The sense of quiet and safety. The half board plan covering almost everything at any time. The proximity to the beautiful marina with bars,shops, tourist services...
Massages too expensive.
Location, setting, friendly staff. Large rooms and bathrooms, jaccuzi and hamac on the terrace.
The double bed is huge but unconfortable. If your partner moves the entire mattress shakes. Over priced Restaurant is not excellent and yet expensive Very noisy rooms from the street below, and the a/c machines.
The room was very spacious, nice balcony with jacuzzi and hammocks. Nice pool and jacuzzi bar, Happy Hour for Drinks and even for food on specific days. Right next door to Dolphins Discovery park, from my room I could even see the Dolphins playing. Very nice and calm area, nice restaurants near the marina, not like busy Play del Carmen.
Unfortunately, what could be an amazing experience was not really like that, since the Hotel has, apparently, some kind of agreement with some apartments nearby, which in my case result of having a group of 15-20 American guys, that were there for some-kind of fishing trip, gathered all afternoons near the Jacuzzi bar, drinking and speaking loud, sometimes using improper language. (maybe I was just unluky with the timing) Breakfast included in the tariff is a continental breakfast, very basic version, everything else you want, will be charged as extra. Although is beach front, the beach doesn't really exists since the sea level has apparently increase during the recent years. But you can still have some nice sea swims
This hotel is absolutely gorgeous! The rooms are beautiful and very well appointed. We were there for a wedding and I had a lot of expensive jewelry with me. It was very safe locked up in our room safe. Wait staff is very courteous. We loved the pool and the ocean pool is an added benefit. You cannot go wrong staying at the Omni, you will love it from the minute you arrive. The wedding was at the Omni and it was simply stunning!!!
The people at the front desk did not speak English very well. Sometimes we would ask them directions to places right there in their area (Puerto Aventuras), they had no clue what we were talking about.
we had a very nice holidays in these hotel, very well connected people very friendly, the restaurant was very good, the pool bar it was very nice and the beach it was excellent
if there is something that I could say is that the transport from the airport to the complex is not easy and when you arrive tired from a long travel it's a thing you value.
Kind staff. Food was good. Rooms spacious, clean and nice terrace with hot tub. Good location, outside of hectic Playa del Carmen and mid way to Tulum.
Wonderful, safe resort. Beach & pool excellent. Amazing jaccuzzi bar. Good food. Near all the local sites and good golf.
Nothing to complain about.
I cannot say enough good things about our stay...the spacious and nicely appointed room w private patio and hot tub, the very friendly capable staff, the dining room ...great food with your feet practically in the beautiful sandy beach. We are divers and the dive facility in c hotel complex is probably one of the best with very capable dive lpprofessionals. Will definitely stay at the Omni again.

THEY were all there: party functionaries from Ramallah, the West Bank's administrative hub, in their shiny suits; rugged district leaders from the West Bank's gritty northern reaches; ambassadors from around the world; grassroots campaigners; and local business bigwigs, smoking fat cigars. Some of the women wore traditional dress and head scarves; most had Western clothes and flowing hair. But everyone had one thing in common: around their necks they all wore the black-and-white check scarf of Fatah, the Palestinian movement founded in 1954 that has long struggled to create an independent country in a land that is still controlled by Israel.
On August 4th more than 2,000 delegates gathered in Bethlehem in the Israeli-occupied West Bank for the sixth and largest conference in the movement's history and its first on Palestinian soil. The last time a "general assembly" convened was 20 years ago, in Tunisian exile. The three-day meeting's main tasks were to elect a new central committee (hitherto 21-strong) and a new 120-member Revolutionary Council, and to agree on a new manifesto. Fatah's leader, Mahmoud Abbas (also known as Abu Mazen), opened the event with a rambling oration. He presides over the Palestinian Authority that runs those parts of the fledgling state Fatah still controls, after the party lost control of the Gaza Strip to the Islamists of Hamas in 2007.
The convention drew hundreds of exiles who have dedicated their lives to fighting Israel from Lebanon, Syria and other Arab countries. They returned to a land that has drastically changed in the decades since they left. Some had never set foot on Palestinian soil. Israel's decision to let in the exiles, many of whom had been involved in guerrilla attacks on the Jewish state, was a gesture intended to boost Mr Abbas and his policy of peace. But Fatah's rival, Hamas, tried to thwart the conference by forbidding hundreds of would-be participants from leaving Gaza.
That the conference took place at all was a victory for Fatah and for Mr Abbas. They had to override the objections of many "outsiders" from the diaspora who objected to a conference being held on occupied territory. At the last convention, in 1989, the exiles had set the tone. This time they were a minority.
But it came at a bad time for the nationalist movement as a whole. Fatah is locked in a bitter power struggle with Hamas and is itself divided. In the run-up to the congress Farouq Qaddoumi, who runs the political department in Tunis of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, an umbrella for the nationalist movement, accused his rival, Mr Abbas, and a Fatah strongman, Muhammad Dahlan, of involvement in a plot to kill Fatah's longtime leader, Yasser Arafat, who died in 2004. Unsettling rumours of foul play persist within Fatah, though they have never been substantiated.
Many delegates said the conference's main goal was unity. Others hoped to "strengthen the movement", "bring in new blood", "elect a new, younger leadership" and "set our strategy and decide where we are going". It was certainly a rare chance to shake things up. Fatah's popularity has flagged since the Oslo Accords, signed in 1993, set up the Palestinian Authority but failed to produce a truly independent state. In January 2006 Fatah's loss to Hamas in a general election was owing to resentment of its leaders' corruption and abuse of power. A year-and-a-half later, Fatah lost control of nearly 1.5m Palestinians when Hamas violently ousted it from Gaza.
There has been a dire need for reform ever since Arafat died. But Fatah has done little to change a common perception that its leaders are corrupt and the organisation stagnant. Mr Abbas and his allies have held the younger generation back. Torn by in-house power-struggles, Fatah also has an identity crisis. Once a liberation movement bent on recovering Palestine by force, it has evolved into a political party ready to compromise with Israel on touchy issues such as the Palestinian refugees' proclaimed "right of return" and the question of Jerusalem, which both Israel and the Palestinians view as their capital. But many Fatah people still hanker after revolution, harking back to the heroic days (albeit often mythical) under Arafat.
Such conflicting views were evident. "I don't believe in negotiations," said Issam Salah from the Jenin area, known for its fierce fighters. "They have led nowhere. We must go back to the guns and throwing stones." The ambassador to Japan, Waleed Siam, disagreed. "Resistance has many forms and colours. One is economic development, which I believe is the only way."
A key Fatah man who was not at the conference was Marwan Barghouti, serving five life sentences in an Israeli prison. He is expected to get the most votes in the central-committee election; if released in an oft-mooted prisoner exchange, he might well then challenge Mr Abbas for the leadership. He would have a better chance of bringing Fatah and Hamas together and might inject extra energy into the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
As The Economist went to press, a final document had yet to be agreed on. At the 1989 convention, "armed struggle" against Israel was deemed the only way to "liberate Palestine". This time a new declaration will commit Palestinians to negotiate but keep armed struggle as a "right" if talks fail. "Resistance", said Mr Abbas, was "legitimate under international law". Some delegates wanted to drop any hint of endorsing violence but others said that Fatah would lose even more support if it seemed to roll over in the face of Israel's strength. Stung by Israel's fierce attack on Gaza eight months ago, few Palestinians want to promise never to fight back.

Music: Rooney with Hanson

0 Comments · Monday, August 16, 2010
Named for a character in an '80s movie (the inept principal in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'), you might assume that Rooney's music has an old-school New Wave twinge to it. While that's correct, the band's influences run much deeper. Listen closely and you can also hear the Power Pop of the '60s. "Yeah, I think in the beginning that ('80s style) was definitely the main thing," says Rooney drummer Ned Brower. They open for Hanson Monday at Moonlite Gardens.

While you can make a good living doing stand-up, it's not always rock steady work; just ask Jimmy Pardo. While he's never had trouble filling clubs across America, it was that very success that helped get him a permanent gig warming up the crowd for Conan O'Brien's 'Tonight Show.' The fact that he hosts a popular podcast, 'Never Not Funny,' helped as well. When Conan was shown the door, another one opened for Pardo.

What's new with Vince Morris? "I just got out of prison and my life has changed," he says, laughing. Quite the opposite, actually — the Columbus native is now a father, living outside of Dayton. Almost every week, though, the Comedy Bat Signal calls and he returns to his role as one of America's sharpest stand-up comics. Balancing career and family has been a challenge. "I've got a place in L.A., but it's a catch-22," he explains. "I don't like L.A. I never liked it, but you have to be there for the career. But you don't want to raise a family in Los Angele

When discussing the greatest Rock bands of all time, The Beach Boys are often mistakenly dismissed as a mere vocal group. "There are some bands that have a lead singer and maybe some harmonies that are iffy," explains Mike Love, The Beach Boys lead singer. "The thing that distinguishes The Beach Boys from any other Rock band is the sophisticated harmonies and arrangements." They play Friday and Saturday nights at the Grand Victoria Casino in Rising Sun.

"My act is primarily based on the disgust of human behavior," says comedian Sebastian Maniscalco. "I saw that a lot while waiting tables. I worked at a big end hotel…in Beverly Hills and I would get a very snooty type of clientele. I never really brought that on stage, but I did have an angst (about) how people act especially when they're getting waited on." The Chicago-native actually didn't attend his first open mic until arriving in Southern California.

"There are some bands that have a lead singer and maybe some harmonies that are iffy," explains lead singer Mike Love. "The thing that distinguishes The Beach Boys from any other rock band is the sophisticated harmonies and arrangements."

"I started as professional heckler," says comedian Donnell Rawlings when asked about how he got into stand-up. "I was working at a grocery chain as a security guard." Co-workers invited him to go to a comedy club. "I started heckling the comedians on stage and I started becoming pretty popular as a heckler. The club owner didn't really appreciate it too much and he challenged me to go on stage, so I did. I lit it up, and haven't looked back since." Rawlings performs at Go Bananas Thursday-Sunday.

I look up and see a beautiful dove and it craps on my forehead." After 24 years of doing stand-up, he explains, your mind starts to work a certain way.

0 Comments · Tuesday, July 13, 2010
On a car ride from Chicago to Wisconsin, Feldman began to lay what would become the ground work for his current program, Whad'Ya Know? "I made up something that I thought was rather preposterous: a weekly two-hour show, live audience, live band, taking phone calls and doing it as a quiz as a way to get people to call in without talking about major issues." Known for his quick wit, Feldman says his broadcasting style was influenced by the Rock DJs of the 1960s as well as Groucho Marx.

I have an odd glitch which has suddenly appeared. All text is blurred. Looks like there is a secondary shadow of each letter or digit offset to the right. It makes reading anything very headache making. I tried everything but with no success. I then had the PC tech., log in remotely. He has tweaked and reset and to him it looks fine. Here however, it is just the same. The resolution is set perfectly for my monitor. Any ideas please?

Make, model and operating system ?
Is all text like this ? System tray, clock etc. If you right click the desktop etc is the menu blurred ? If so it perhaps suggests a driver or screen issue.
What about when you first do a cold start and any splash screens/bios messages etc messages appear. Are they blurred as these load before anything Windows/driver related ?
What's it like if you boot into safe mode ?
Have you tried a system restore back to when it was OK ?
Without actually seeing something like this it's a bit difficult to say for sure.

The system restore did nothing. All text is blurred including system tray etc. I have not paid attention to the text on cold start. I usually walk away once I press the button. The monitor is an HP w19ev. Using XP. Have not tried safe mode.

Is it possible to try the monitor on another PC ?
From your description it does sound as though the monitor may have a problem. Is the problem much worse than just "cleartype" settings and so on,
I would still try safe mode as that loads a generic driver rather than a specific one.

Like mooly says try it in safe mode and if it works Ok on there it could be the graphics driver needing updated.

Tried everything that has been suggested but it made no difference. I finally resorted to crawling under the back of my desk and found the monitor lead was in the wrong hole. Sorry guys and thanks for your support. It is perfect now.

The tower had been away in the workshop for a day to have a new cooling fan fitted and a clean up. I got the plug in wrong - hand up.

Having said all that, I find that on switching on my PC this morning, the problem has returned and the double image is back. Seems there is a more serious issue. Either the graphics card or possibly the monitor itself.

On the chance that it may be the monitor try reducing the resolution of the screen by the following method.
Right click on desktop Select Properties Select settings Reduce by one notch.
You could also try reloading your graphic card drivers.

I was concerned about him as my SS at the start of the season but with his pedigree and strong start I think he could go 15/40 with a solid avg. He hits 2nd in a strong lineup, in front of Braun/Ramirez/Gomez. Anyone want to take a guess as to what his runs and rbi totals will look like at the end of the year?Maybe these are a bit optimistic - 65 rbis, 100 runs.

Water issues on table at summit
Platte Institute meets at Monsanto Learning Center.
First of two parts
Describing water as Nebraska's oil, Pete Ricketts kicked off the Platte Institute's Water Management Summit last Thursday morning.
About 150 people from around the state gathered at the Monsanto Water Utilization and Learning Center to hear water experts, state senators and others discuss ways to better balance the state's resource among private, environmental and economic interests.
Ricketts, who is president and director of the Platte Institute, said now is a good time to talk about water issues since policy makers are not under the pressure of drought.
Jane Griffin, president of The Groundwater Foundation, said just as we Nebraskans rely on groundwater to sustain our lives, groundwater relies on us to make sound management decisions so the resource will be available for future generations.
Griffin suggested a holistic approach when making decisions about water.
Educating people about water, where it comes from and inspiring action to ensure sustainable, clean groundwater for future generations is a priority of the institute, she said.
"Since groundwater plays a critical role in our lives, we all play a part in protecting it," Griffin said.
Texas attorney Mary Kelly, a national water expert, said there have been enormous innovations in Nebraska water law.
Kelly noted that the state has developed a fairly comprehensive water management framework for the use of surface and groundwater.
Nebraska relies on prior appropriation of surface water which means those with first-time appropriation rights have priority.
When those rights are exercised after years of non-use, however, she said litigation
