Center for Cancer Research
Research Summary
The Dyson Lab studies the role of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene (RB). In normal cells, RB enables cells to stop dividing. RB is inactivated in many types of cancer, and this change is thought to be an important step in tumor progression. We are studying the ways in which the loss of RB alters the cell. Our goals are to find ways to correct the specific defects that promote tumor development and to find ways to enhance any changes that might be points of weakness that are specific to the tumor cells. In some cancers, tumor cells still express RB, but the protein has too little activity to stop cell division. We are searching for ways to enhance the activity of pRB since, in these types of cancer, they may help RB to stop tumor cell proliferation.

Research Projects
We investigate the mechanisms that limit cell proliferation in normal cells and the ways that these controls are eroded in cancer cells. Our research focuses on the E2F transcription factor and the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor (RB). E2F controls the expression of a large number of target genes that are needed for cell proliferation. This transcriptional program is activated when normal cells are instructed to divide, but it is deregulated in tumor cells, providing a cellular environment that is permissive for uncontrolled proliferation. pRB has multiple functions, but one of its most important roles is to limit the activity of E2F; as a result, most tumor cells select for changes that remove this control.
The original discovery of the RB1 gene was made possible by the fact that its mutation is a causal and rate-limiting event in the development of retinoblastoma. An exciting new development in this area of research is the discovery that the loss of pRB undermines genomic stability.
In two recently published studies, we have examined the causes and consequences of pRB inactivation. A careful analysis of pRB-deficient cells has revealed that pRB loss leads to centromere dysfunction, reduced cohesion, and chromosome instability (CIN). CIN is a common feature in tumor cells. High levels of CIN correlate with poor prognosis and promote tumor relapse after seemingly effective anticancer treatments. The finding that pRB loss causes CIN raises the possibility that the functional inactivation of pRB may be an underlying source of much of the aneuploidy seen in tumor cells. Understanding what causes these changes may have therapeutic implications, and a major goal of our current work is to find ways to suppress these defects. Such conditions may limit the ability of pRB-deficient tumor cells to evolve.
In a second set of experiments, we sought to identify pathways that either enhance or suppress the ability of pRB to function. Although pRB is typically viewed as a target of cdk regulation, a screen of the kinome revealed that multiple kinases have a major impact on the capability of pRB to arrest the cell cycle and/or induce senescence. Interestingly, one such kinase was LATS2, a component of the HIPPO pathway. Subsequent experiments revealed that LATS2 is important for the activation of DREAM repressor complexes, and that the ability of pRB to trigger the formation of DREAM complexes was compromised when LATS2 levels were low. LATS2 is closely linked to the RB gene on human chromosome 13, and a large proportion of cancer cells show loss of heterozygosity for RB1 and LATS2, but apparently fail to mutate the remaining allele of RB1. We speculate that heterozygosity for LATS2 may reduce the need to mutate RB1. Potentially, increasing LATS2 activity in these cells may enhance the ability of pRB to block cell proliferation.
Research Positions
Postdoctoral Position (1)
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Nick Dyson at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center/Harvard Medical School. Our research is focused on the control of cell proliferation, specifically on the roles of the E2F transcription factor and its regulation by Rb family of proteins. Ongoing projects include genetic screens for modifiers of E2F-dependent apoptosis, E2F-induced apoptosis and studies of chromatin regulation. Deregulated E2F activity drives cell proliferation in a large proportion of Cancers and a major goal of the laboratory is to use Drosophila as a model system to understand the roles of E2F/RB proteins, and then to apply this information to studies of mammalian cells, particularly human cancer cells. Candidates should be highly motivated and have a strong background in Drosophila genetics and/or developmental biology. Applicants must have a PhD or MD or equivalent, and less than four years of post-doctoral experience.
To apply send a cover letter, CV, and three letters of recommendation.

This week on The Business of Fashion we welcome several guest contributors to give us the scoop on recent fashion weeks, the IHT conference and local market trends in India. We're calling it our own India Fashion Week, but as you'll see, that might be the last thing India needs.
NEW DELHI, India — Bollywood, Cricket and Fashion. Everyday these three topics bring to life the popular culture pages of India's leading national newspapers, The Times of India and Hindustan Times. And of this colourful ménage à trois, fashion is the relative newcomer, but is growing fast.
In the last year alone, the local scene has exploded to include three major prêt-a-porter fashion weeks, a bridal couture week, a regional fashion week in Kolkata, a proposed men's fashion week and enough corporate sponsors to power each one. Multi-brand fashion boutiques and über-luxe malls featuring international brands have also recently opened. Local fashion media has reached critical mass, with Harper's Bazaar, which launched an Indian edition last month, Vogue India, and countless other magazines all aimed at India's it-bag aspiring middle classes.
But, let's start at the very beginning, to see how it all began.
India's first ever fashion week took place in New Delhi in the Autumn of 2000, organised by the newly created Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), the international talent agency IMG, and title sponsor Lakmé, a leading Indian cosmetics and beauty brand. This edition ran until the big split in 2006. Since then, Lakmé Fashion Week (LFW) by IMG is held in Mumbai, home of Bollywood and "filmy" glamour, while the FDCI continued as Wills India Fashion Week (WIFW) in New Delhi. Add to this Delhi Fashion Week (DFW), only two seasons old, created by the FDCI's defecting former executive director.
Which brings us to the Autumn/Winter 2009 shows last month, where over 180 fashion and accessory designers in 80+ runway shows, unveiled their collections across three events in two cities, between March 18 and 31, with a record number of corporate sponsors including Hewlett Packard, Audi, Grey Goose, Carlsberg, Yahoo, Reliance, Kingfisher airlines and Fedex.
As FDCI president Sunil Sethi told The Business of Fashion: "Even in these times of recession there is a definite buzz around brand India and a special place on the rack for us. It is all about continuity. If a customer has come to us once, whether they add another designer or replace one with the other, they nevertheless carry brand India forward. Let us get the international fashion community here first. Let them see our creativity, our warmth and the hunger we have to be part of the world of fashion."
But that is easier said than done, and there is a long way to go before this is achieved.
If only these fashion weeks did not shift venue every year, resulting in constant logistical reprogramming between glitzy five-star hotels, a spanking new luxury mall, a drab industry trade venue, and a crumbling performance arts hall, creating an image problem, which never helps in fashion
What's more, designers are split and often conflicted, especially the younger ones, as to which week they should participate in. On one occasion designers even fought publicly, one accusing the other of delaying his show on purpose.
For media and buyers, the three fashion weeks are no treat either. Media outlets are forced to deploy larger teams to simultaneously cover all events comprehensively. The all-important front row of international buyers, such as Julie Gilhart, fashion director of Barneys New York who attended WIFW last month, must choose between fashion weeks or face the impossible drive across Delhi between venues, in the deadlock of peak traffic hours.
What the Indian fashion community needs to do instead is create a single organisation to interface between designers and related government bodies, retailers, manufacturers and financial institutions. We should aim to make a global imprint with our craft and textile heritage, creativity and colour at global standards of competitiveness; marketing India as a design hub. Indeed, the craft and colour of India has caught the imagination of the world, not just-a-bit helped by the phenomenal success of Slumdog Millionaire.
To outside commentators this is more than apparent. A few days ago bigwig fashion journalist Suzy Menkes wrote in a New York Times article, "As the vast country's designers take Indian style beyond the draped sari and its woven fabrics to Western cut and sew, a local industry is now doing more than making low-cost clothes for export overseas. [Yet] in spite of a vibrant market across the subcontinent, the rallying cry of those 150-plus designers is this: "Can we make it internationally?"
Manish Arora has made it, with critical acclaim, if not commercial success. Pieces by Rajesh Pratap Singh have been stocked at Colette in Paris. Other designers including Anamika Khanna, Sabyasachi, Ashish N. Soni and Namrata Joshipura, are also making their mark internationally. A couple of other promising up-and-comers including Gaurav Gupta and Varun Sardana are waiting in the wings but need seed investment to take off.
As for the crowded show calendar and multiple fashion weeks, some industry participants think it might be too early to tell whether three really is crowd. "I think we should reserve judgment for the time being," says Nonita Kalra, Editor-in-Chief of ELLE India. "I don't think the calendar is crowded. Just compare the numbers to the burgeoning middle class. India is a big country with big tastes. What seems like an explosion to the rest of the world is just a small party for us."
Either way, while the dust has settled a bit this year, the chaos of fashion week in India is not a pretty sight. That said, the threat of recession has turned quite a lot of people rather more serious in bringing Indian fashion from fraternity to industry, not gang war. And that can only do us some good.

I've been really struggling from Gmail's sluggishness recently. After a series of tests, I've come to the conclusion, that Gmail's performance highly depends on… your luck. Obviously, most accounts work just fine, and the chance that you are affected is not very high. However, if you don't have luck, your mail will work like it's served using an old 28.8 kbit/s dial-up connection. Or worse.
I currently have 1 personal and 3 business accounts fully served by Gmail. One of those business accounts (the most important one) started acting up a few weeks ago. Initially, I thought there may be something wrong with my OS or with the browsers, but step by step I've eliminated all potential causes of problems (cache, plugins, http vs https, firewalls, antivirus software, browser types). So now I'm stuck with e-mail service that sometimes works super fast, and sometimes takes about 10 seconds to load a message. Tried contacting Gmail support, it took me a long time to find a way to contact them directly - these forms are nicely hidden so that only the most stubborn people can find them - saddly, nobody responded. I started writing on the support forums. No luck so far…Here are a couple of threads clearly showing that many people are having similar problems:
This leaves us with questions, like "Can we really rely on Google?" and "Is this a good idea to keep all of our important stuff on their servers?"

Hosted by the School of Population Health, the symposium marks the establishment of the Auckland Tobacco Control Research Centre - which will be formally launched by Pita Sharples, co-leader of the Maori Party.
The Centre's Director Dr Marewa Glover says the event brings together local and international experts on issues such as nicotine addiction, harm reduction strategies, and limiting cigarette sales.
"It is well-timed because there is a growing debate about the next steps New Zealand might take if it is to significantly reduce smoking rates.
"Pending prosecutions for chewing tobacco, pressure to end the sale of 'combustibles' or all tobacco products, and support in some quarters for the introduction of alternative smokeless nicotine products such as SNUS (a Swedish tobacco product) are among the topics that will be vigorously debated."
International speakers include:

During the summer of 2014, Alumni Memorial Scholar (AMS) Alex Rojek '15 used his AMS Grant to study the growing impact of wind energy in Scotland. By traveling throughout the Highlands–including the Cairngorms National Park–he hoped to better understand the impact wind farms have on the local economy, environment, and public opinion. You can learn more by attending his presentation at the fall AMS Symposium, scheduled for November 18, 2014.
It was obvious from the moment I stepped off the airplane in Glasgow that I was entering a place with a completely different perspective on energy and sustainability. Airport employees were driving around in "Zero Emission Vehicles Powered by Lithium-Ion Technology" (They were also present all around the city of Glasgow too, serving as transportation for city employees). When I rented a vehicle in order to travel to various sites at opposite corners of the country, I was amazed by the fuel economy of the diesel engine (well over 60 mpg!). Many restaurants I encountered embraced the "locavore" movement in a way that was totally foreign to me (One server detailed the exact origin of each one of the ingredients in my meal—all within 20 miles of the restaurant!). One of the wind farms I visited in my study acted not only as a generator of power for half the city of Glasgow, but as an educational and recreational center (more on this later!).
Overall, Scotland seemed to have embraced the culture of sustainability to a degree that has not yet been reached stateside. While the sustainability movement in the USA is certainly gaining ground, it is not quite as pervasive as in the land of our neighbors across the pond (and a little to the north). Scotland has much more to offer than kilts and haggis—its impressive dedication to sustainability sets an example for the rest of the world to follow. This fact is becoming increasingly well known around the world, and it was a major reason that I chose to perform a study of the public perception of wind power in Scotland.
Cairngorms National Park, in the north of Scotland, is home to some of the most breathtaking scenery on earth. The sheer natural beauty and wildlife of the region, recognized by people all across Scotland and the greater United Kingdom, is truly something to be treasured. As such, it was unsurprising to hear that the proposed construction of several wind farms near the boundaries of the park was being met with resistance from the local people. I set out to determine if the general population truly held this belief (as opposed to simply "those who yell the loudest…") and to find out if there was a deeper rationale for opposition than what appeared on the surface.
My fortnight in Scotland began in Glasgow, and traversed the majority of the country, going as far north as Inverness and as far east as Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Major stops included Carrbridge, Grantown-on-Spey, and Kirriemuir (all on the fringes of Cairngorms National Park and near proposed wind farm construction sites), as well as Eaglesham (home to Whitelee Wind Farm, the UK's largest on-shore wind farm).
Whitelee Wind Farm was perhaps the most interesting (and potentially even my favorite!) place I visited while in Scotland. Yes, I am saying that a part of me may have enjoyed my time at a wind farm more than the numerous medieval castles and natural wonders I made time to see. The creators of Whitelee took formerly unused land and built something truly spectacular. They not only built a plant that supplies power to half of Glasgow, but they developed what seemed to be a cultural phenomenon. Miles upon miles of walking/running trails wound among the turbines, and a new mountain bike track was recently completed. The previously useless plot of land had been transformed into a remarkably aesthetically pleasing and recreationally viable area. In addition to this, it has also become an educational powerhouse. The visitors center now offers tours of the grounds several times each day, and has several hands-on-learning exhibits to help explain how wind power can help change the world. All in all, I don't see how it could be possible for someone to visit Whitelee and walk away not seeing wind power as the answer to the energy crisis.
While at Whitelee, I toured the grounds and recorded several audio files standing at various distances from wind turbines. A common fear the general population possesses of wind farms is that the noise pollution generated will negatively impact the quality of life in the surrounding areas. I found, however, that at a distance of as little as 100 yards from the base of a turbine, the noise was rather minimal and did not affect the volume at which I had to speak to hold a conversation. By walking only a bit farther from the turbine, the noise all but disappeared. Therefore, from my judgments, unless one is thinking about erecting a turbine in close proximity to his home, he need not worry about noise.
Through my travels, I learned a great deal about the renewable energy movement in Scotland, and the rationale behind the rather strong opinions about it—both for and against.
A large part of my data gathering was done through an informal interview process, through which I would casually mention either a local wind farm or the concept of renewables to a regular Scottish citizen and take note of his or her response. This proved, rather effectively, how simple conversations could be transformed into a gauge of popular opinion in a certain area. Though it would be unfair to overgeneralize, I found Scottish views on wind farm construction to be positive on the whole, while opinions on wind farm construction near the Cairngorms specifically were resoundingly negative.
People from all walks of life across each area I visited supported renewable energy overwhelmingly. They really seemed to understand that fossil fuels were finite and that something needed to be done to provide power in a different way. Hydroelectricity as well as wind power were constantly brought up as excellent ways to generate electricity in the stead of fossil fuels..
The southern area of Scotland (near Glasgow and Edinburgh) is not particularly prized for its natural beauty or wildlife, and as such seems to be prime wind farm real estate. Whitelee Wind Farm, discussed previously, was built 20 minutes outside of Glasgow on previously unused land and has resulted in an economic boom for the area as well as valuable recreational and educational facilities. The proposed site of Fauch Hill Wind Farm, not far from Edinburgh, was strongly supported by all the locals with whom I spoke. The plot of land on which it is to be built, though aesthetically appealing in its own right, possesses no real value to the people of Scotland. Because they don't see it as a source of national pride, they are largely in favor of making it something to be proud of in another way. Similar attitudes are held toward off-shore wind farms, as not a single person I met opposed them. The general opinion seemed to be that land (and water) not directly part of a city or the cherished highlands region could be used in a manner that benefited Scotland, and the planet as a whole.
Though quite impressive, this fervor for taking unused plots of land and transforming them into valuable energy-generating areas, was completely overpowered by reverence for the wild lands of the highlands region and Cairngorms National Park. A Grantown-on-Spey resident put it rather bluntly, in a way that made me truly appreciate how strongly the Scottish feel about protecting the Cairngorms region:
"How would you feel if you went home and found 60 giant wind turbines right next to the Grand Canyon? The people of America would never let that happen and you know it. That's how we feel about the Cairngorms here." –Granton-on-Spey resident
My time in Scotland taught me many things. It served to strengthen my belief that renewable energy is an important part of our planet's future, but it also taught me that people respond rather strongly when things they hold dear are threatened. The Scottish people love the Cairngorms. They love them the way they are, in all their natural splendor. No desire for an increase in renewable energy seemed able to supersede that.

Okay, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I've got Minecraft 1.0.0, and I'm like 98% sure that I've installed ModLoader 1.0, ModLoader MP 1.0, and Minecraft Forge (I've tried 1.2.3, 1.2.4 & 1.2.5 now) correctly. When I place all the buildcraft 2.2.11 files in the mod folder and start up Minecraft, it loads up fine.
The problem comes when I try to use any engine. When I send a redstone signal into the engine I get the red particle effect, but the engine doesn't start. The redstone engine will start turning green like it's heating up, but it won't do anything else.
Is anyone else having this problem?
I've also tried the package installer and installing them manually… it all is the same.
January 15, 2012 at 3:28 am #7493Would love a reply to this as I'm having the exact same problem. I placed down a few redstone engines and they were doing fine, then suddenly when I tried to place one more what you described happened. The "old" ones seem to keep going though. Anyone?
EDIT: Clicking them with a wrench does nothing either
- This reply was modified 3 years, 1 month ago by chendar.
January 15, 2012 at 4:02 am #7496Yeah, the wrench does nothing for me either
January 15, 2012 at 10:32 am #7512please try using buildcraft 2.2.10, and dont use Tmi to get the engine.
the report backJanuary 15, 2012 at 4:15 pm #7531That's a negative Ghost Rider… 2.2.10 doesn't work either and for reference I wasn't using TMI before. I had tried in Creative mode and Survival and neither worked
January 15, 2012 at 4:24 pm #7532Sorry, to be more specific. The same exact thing was happening with 2.2.10 where the wrench doesn't work and the engines don't start up
January 15, 2012 at 7:08 pm #7544"That's a negative Ghost Rider"….that's a very specific phrase…..do I happen to know you per chance? It's a very common phrase around my work from one particular person, Brian.
Ok, here's the deal, engines must be facing an object that takes power. Because your "redstone engine turns green but doesn't do anything" is a very good indication that you are not facing it correctly. Machines, another engine, or a _wooden conductive pipe_ are things that allow engines to transfer their power. Keep in mind that redstone engines do not give enough power to a wooden conductive pipe, so don't even try…..but they will work on wooden transport and wooden waterproof pipes.
If your machine is not facing the correct way, just right click with the wrench and it will turn to face a different direction. The directions it chooses let you know correct facings…if it doesn't move when you hit it with a wrench, then you either have only 1 input spot, or you have none.
Redstone engines will not explode if they are facing a proper input acceptor, otherwise they will…..steam and combustion will if you allow them to overheat.
January 15, 2012 at 9:01 pm #7565Alright, person I apparently know IRL (Can I get a hint?). I appreciate the info, but I do know that stuff, I have used buildcraft in the past. I think the one for Minecraft 1.8.3 worked for me. That's the most frustrating part. I really can't think of a reason why this isn't working…
The problem is that the wrench doesn't turn the engines, and I've tried all 3 types of engines and even placed things above the engine (the direction it is facing). To rule out other things, I saw someone mention something about alternating redstone current so I tried that too…and I did make sure to have the right fuel types for the engines.
January 15, 2012 at 10:15 pm #7571hmm, is this in ssp or smp?
January 16, 2012 at 12:07 am #7579SSP
January 16, 2012 at 12:46 am #7585Try this, put down 2 wooden transport pipes separated by 1 block, then put down a redstone engine right in the middle….whack it with the wrench a few times and tell me what happens. Then put a redstone torch next to it and tell me what happens.
If you truly are Brian or Ryan (the only 2 I know of that use that phrase)….then I'll talk to you at work, although I can't remember if you work sundays or not.
January 16, 2012 at 6:45 am #7608The trick with the pipes worked! I'll have a bit more time to mess with it tomorrow. Thanks for your help.
I definitely don't work Sundays, but my name is Brian. That line is from Top Gun perhaps its all coincidence
January 16, 2012 at 1:11 pm #7630Well unfortunately you aren't him…but it is a huge coincidence. I talked to him last night at work, his name is Brian too, and he told me about the Top Gun thing as well. I haven't seen that movie in over 20 years, so it's just weird.
Anyway, I'm glad it worked.

If youre being paid to travel the globe whilst racing some of the worlds most technologically-advanced cars, many would say you are living the dream. But if youre already an F1 driver, and have firsthand experience of the glitz, glamour and glory, what would you spend your time daydreaming about? Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel reveals his Formula One fantasies, which include battling team mate Jochen Rindt around the Nurburgrings Nordschleife in a McLaren MP4-5
Q: You must choose a city for a new Formula One street circuit - which city, anywhere in the world, do you choose, and why?
Sebastian Vettel: Very clearly and 100 percent New York. There have been rumours lately and I think that it would be the ultimate city to race in. Everybody knows New York and it would be awesome to be part of such a race. The paddock in Central Park and racing along Fifth Avenue, all the way down to Washington Square. Manhattan is not that big so we could have a circuit passing all the important landmarks. Awesome!
Q: If you could choose one former world champion as your team mate, who would you choose and why?
SV: Jochen Rindt, very clearly! For me he had something that was very inspiring. He was a cool guy and it would be an honour to race against him in the same team. In that way you could get all the secrets of his exceptional personality, and of course it would be a big challenge.
Q: Formula One innovations of the past - ground effect, active suspension, turbocharging, six wheels, the list goes on. If you could bring back one past innovation, what would it be and why?
SV: Id put big V12 engines in the car! Put lots of downforce on because this is it what gives us the feeling and sensation. I definitely would go for a lot of power, a nice sound - some brutal machinery so that you have to rise above yourself every time you jump back into the car.
Q: What innovations would you like to see in the future?
SV: Nothing really new - just making it possible to overtake. That would be fantastic for the drivers and obviously help the show. Everybody knows that it is almost impossible in Formula One to overtake so if you manage to do it you know that youve achieved something. Overtaking is something that separates the men from the boys. On the other hand I think that overtaking should never be artificial. And that is partly what I feel we are facing with this moveable rear wing and I am just hoping that it is not becoming too artificial. Obviously it is really hard to find a mode that allows the fastest man to find his way through. I think that what is important is to have a sizzling atmosphere around the track - to have a 100,000 excited people. Such an atmosphere would be very special and thank God we have a lot of races where the atmosphere is fantastic. You always really look forward to these races.
Q: You can only drive at one circuit for the rest of your life - which circuit, past or present from anywhere in the world, do you choose?
SV: It would either be Suzuka, Spa or Nurburgring Nordschleife. Obviously we would have to discuss the run-off areas here and there, but at these tracks you would never get bored.
Q: Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Tyrrell, March are just some of the teams that have departed the sport. Which former team would you most liked to have raced with and why?
SV: Clearly Lotus from the old days. The Colin Chapman outfit. I think the drivers didnt have an easy time there but it was iconic. And of course it was a big challenge to have Chapman as your team principal.
Q: You have to design a new Formula One circuit, combining all your favourite corners from other tracks around the world. Which three corners are top of your list and why?
SV: Sector one of Suzuka, sector two of Spa and some parts of the street circuits of Singapore and Monaco.
Q: You can travel back in time and compete in any decade of Formula One racing, from the 1950s to the 1990s. Which decade would you choose and why?
SV: The 1970s. With the safety standards of today! The atmosphere must have been very special and being part of that must have been quite some experience. I guess even being there made you some kind of hero. Formula One was obviously very special in that decade but of course from a pure instinct of survival you would always choose today. From an emotional point of view the 70s must have been fantastic. How pure the racing was, the camaraderie among the drivers - thats whats missing a bit today.
Q: What current Formula One regulation would you most like to change and why?
SV: I would put a V12 engine in the car - (Im) against all the four-cylinder advocacy. I would take KERS off the car and put a V12 into the car. That would be greener than what we have now!
Q: If you could pick two Formula One greats of the past (from different eras) to watch race against each other, whom would you pick?
SV: Senna and - yeah Prost. It happened but today I would understand much more about their battles. When it happened I was too young to understand and of course I was too far away from the action to get a real idea. They were both so completely different in their personalities. Today I would like to witness that.
Q: If you were a team boss, which current driver would you pick first for your team (excluding yourself and your current team mate)?
SV: Nobody of today. I once again would aim for Senna and Prost. I would probably have to take some sort of course to learn how to handle them.
Q: Just 20 of the worlds motor racing circuits feature on the current F1 calendar. You can add one more. Which circuit do you pick and why?
SV: Kyalami, South Africa or Buenos Aires or the Nordschleife!
Q: You are having a dinner party and can invite four people from the world of motorsport, past or present. Who do you invite?
SV: Bernie (Ecclestone), Jochen Rindt, Fangio and Senna.
Q: You are given the chance to drive any legendary Formula One car of the past (excluding those made by your own team). Which car would you choose?
SV: I think the McLaren from 1990. The MP4-5.
Q: Rooftop swimming pool, bowling alley, revolving sushi bar - just some of the features most F1 motorhomes dont possess. If you could add one thing to your teams motorhome, what would it be?
SV: A good gym with a sauna. My Finnish trainer would be very happy then. And you wouldnt struggle to find all the other Finnish guys in the paddock. Just go to where the sauna is!
Q: You have just won the world title. Where do you go for your celebratory meal and what do you choose from the menu?
SV: Wienerschnitzel with Pommes (breaded veal escalope with sliced potatoes).

In Season: Cara Cara Oranges
by Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, In Season, February 9, 2013
This unique variety of oranges has been gaining popularity. But if you want to catch them, get to the market now; they're only in season for a short time.
What, Where, & When?
These oranges were first discovered in 1976 at Hacienda Cara Cara in Venezuela (hence the name) and are now grown in California. They're a type of navel orange that's a cross between the Washington and Brazilian Bahia navel oranges.
The seedless orange has reddish-pink flesh and a sweet yet tangy flavor similar to cranberries, strawberries and raspberries. They're available December through April.
Nutrition Facts
One medium cara cara orange has 80 calories, 19 grams of carbs, and 3 grams of fiber. It's an excellent source of the antioxidants vitamin A and C and a good source of folate. Cara cara oranges also contain a powerful antioxidant know as lycopene, which helps give them their gorgeous hue. Regular consumption of lycopene has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, prostate cancer and macular degeneration (a disease that causes vision loss as you age).
What To Do With Cara Cara Oranges
Cara cara oranges are a great snack for kids and adults. Many folks prefer using them in recipes because they're seedless. Use in fruit salad or add to a bed of greens; or make a salsa for chicken or fish. Create delicious cocktails using the juice and zest. Cover them in chocolate (like these chocolate-dipped clementines) or dip in chocolate fondue.
The folks at Sunkist shared with us a deliciously healthy recipe using cara cara oranges.
Grilled Halibut With Cara Cara Navel Orange and Walnut Romesco
Recipe courtesy of Chef Jill Davie
Makes 4 servings
For the Fish:
4 (8 ounce) halibut filets
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided (for a reduced-fat version: Use only 1/3 cup of olive oil instead of 1/2 cup)
2 Sunkist cara cara navel oranges
3 cups arugula leaves
½ red onion
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the Romesco
1 Sunkist cara cara navel orange
½ shallot
1 clove garlic
¼ cup walnuts
½ teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon sherry vinegar
Prepare barbeque or grill pan (medium-high heat). Brush each halibut filet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side.
Cut away the peel and white pith from the oranges and cut out orange segments. Slice the red onion and toss with orange segments, sherry vinegar and remaining olive oil (For normal recipe this is 1/2 cup olive oil minus 1 tablespoon used in step 1. For reduced fat recipe, this is 1/3 cup olive oil minus 1 tablespoon used in step 1). Allow mixture to marinate for 1 hour.
Toss the orange and onion mixture with the arugula and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Divide arugula among 4 plates; top with grilled halibut filets and a healthy dollop of Romesco.
For the Romesco:
Cut the orange into six wedges. Remove the inner white skin and seeds.
Cut each wedge into smaller pieces. Using a food processor, add the garlic, shallot and orange. Purée on high speed until the orange begins to break down. Add the walnuts, paprikas and sherry vinegar and continue to purée. Add the olive oil in a steady stream until fully incorporated and season with salt. (This sauce can be made ahead and will stay fresh up to 1 week in your refrigerator.)

Choosing and Storage Tips
Like all navel oranges, cara cara are picked when they're ripe. This means they're ready as soon as you get them home. Choose oranges that are firm, shiny, and heavy for their size and have a pleasant smell. Avoid those with spots or wrinkled skin or have a rotten or fermented scent.

text: @RoyalSpyder - Many years ago, I used to be a video game translator, and I worked with this stuff all the time. In the Japanese versions of the games, there were always jokes and phrases that worked well in that language. However, it wouldn't make a lick of sense in English. Instead of "translating" it, I had to adapt the language so it made sense to the American audience. It was very arduous, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Broccoli with Herbed Hollandaise Sauce and Toasted Bread Crumbs
From Food & Wine
Executive chef Govind Armstrong of Table Eight in Los Angeles prepares this dish with baby broccoli, a cross between broccoli and Chinese kale, also called broccolini. But broccolini can be a little tough, so Marcia opted for broccoli, which is less expensive and reliably sweet and tender when roasted. The florets are ideal for mopping up the creamy, herbed hollandaise sauce. Recipe By: Marcia Kiesel

- 1 stick(s) plus 2 tablespoons (5 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 slice(s) sourdough bread (about 2 ounces), crust removed, bread torn into pieces
- 2 tablespoon(s) plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1.50 pound(s) broccoli , peeled and cut lengthwise into long thick florets
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon(s) boiling water
- 1 tablespoon(s) fresh lemon juice
- Tabasco
- 1 tablespoon(s) plus 1 teaspoon chopped mint
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) coarsely chopped thyme
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Skim off the foam from the surface of the butter. Remove from the heat.
- In a food processor, pulse the bread to coarse crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a small cookie sheet, toss with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake for about 2 minutes, until golden brown.
- On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the broccoli with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange the broccoli in an even layer and roast for about 15 minutes, until just tender and starting to brown.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 1 inch of water to a simmer. In a stainless steel bowl, mix the egg yolks with the boiling water. Set the bowl over the saucepan and whisk the yolks constantly until thickened slightly and bright yellow, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
- Gently reheat the butter; very gradually, whisk it into the yolks until a slightly thick sauce forms. Whisk in the lemon juice and a dash of Tabasco and season the hollandaise sauce lightly with salt and pepper. Whisk in the mint and thyme.
- Transfer the broccoli to a platter; pour the hollandaise sauce on top. Sprinkle with the bread crumbs and serve.
- Wine Recommendation: Try the unoaked 2004 Tohu Gisborne from New Zealand. Or, for contrast, look for a sparkling Prosecco, such as Zardetto Brut.

The Wedding Singer is a musical with music by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Beguelin, and a book by Beguelin and Tim Herlihy. It is based on the 1998 film The Wedding Singer.
Robbie Hart, a Wedding singer, lives with his Grandma Rosie in Ridgefield, Connecticut. He and his band play a great wedding gig ("It's Your Wedding Day"). During his usual "warm-up-the-crowd routine," Robbie proudly announces that he will be married to his beloved fiancée Linda the next day. At the wedding gig, Robbie meets a waitress named Julia Sullivan, who can't wait to get married ("Someday"). Afterward, Robbie tries to write a sweet (eventually corny) love song to Linda, with help from Julia, whom he had just met during the previous wedding ("Awesome"). The following day, however, Linda dumps Robbie at the altar, with only a note claiming that she wants to be the wife of a rock star and not just a wedding singer ("A Note from Linda"). Meanwhile, an anxious Julia goes out to dinner with her Wall Street banker boyfriend, Glen Guglia, hoping he will pop the question, which he does ("Pop!").
Robbie falls into a deep depression ("Somebody Kill Me Please"), but is urged by his bandmates Sammy and George, and even his grandmother ("A Note from Grandma"), to use that intense emotion to get back on his feet. However, the angry Robbie does nothing but enrage the guests at the next wedding gig ("Casualty of Love"), and he is soon thrown into the dumpster by the bridal party. With some convincing from his friend Julia, Robbie does "Come Out of the Dumpster", but changes his singing gigs strictly to bar mitzvahs ("Today You Are a Man"). After the Shapiro bar mitzvah ("George's Prayer"), Julia convinces Robbie to help her register for her wedding, as her fiancé Glen is, as usual, busy with business-related affairs ("Not That Kind of Thing").
While at the mall, Robbie and Julia meet up with Julia's cousin and best friend Holly, who convinces the "faux duo" that Julia needs to practice her wedding kiss. Robbie and Julia awkwardly–and lovingly– kiss, only to be interrupted by the reality that Julia is marrying Glen. After seeing the kiss, Holly decides that she should go out with Robbie. Julia, still shocked by the kiss, hastily agrees with Holly. Much later that night, Robbie, Holly, Julia, Glen, Sammy, and George go to a club in New York City ("Saturday Night in the City"). Here Robbie finally realizes that Glen is a cheater and that he, Robbie, loves Julia. Holly realizes this too and tells Robbie that Julia is marrying Glen because of his money and security. Upon hearing this, Robbie exclaims, "Maybe I could change!"
The next morning, Robbie visits Glen at his Wall Street office to get a job and learn how to be like him in order to secretly impress Julia ("All About the Green"). Later, Julia and Holly recall the events of the night before and Julia begins to question if rich men are truly better people ("Someday"(Reprise)). Sammy arrives and tries to woo Holly, but is given the cold shoulder, but Holly can't help but feel that despite his flaws, there is no other man who could replace Sammy ("Right in front of your Eyes").Later in the evening, a "Glenified" Robbie finds Julia at his doorstep and tries to woo her. When that doesn't work, he accuses her of marrying Glen for his material possessions. Julia is stung and walks away from Robbie, throwing a present in his face: personalized blank sheet music. After all, Julia truly cares about Robbie and wants him to sing at weddings again, especially her wedding.
Robbie realizes what he's done and drinks his sorrows away at a local bar ("All About the Green" (Reprise)). Sammy and George go to the bar and try to convince Robbie that staying "Single" is the right thing to do. Inadvertently, Sammy and George end up persuading Robbie into going to Julia's house to tell her how he really feels. Meanwhile, at Julia's house, Julia is with her mother trying on her wedding dress, but is having doubts about marrying Glen because of recent events with her and Robbie. Julia's mother reassures her that Glen really is "Mr Right" and questions why Julia would leave him for a wedding singer. But Julia still has doubts. Robbie looks into Julia's window and sees her trying on her wedding dress and smiling at her reflection. He thinks it's because she's marrying Glen, but Julia is smiling only because she's imagining being Mrs. Robbie Hart ("If I Told You"). Robbie goes home drunk and dazed only to find Linda in his bed, wanting him back ("Let Me Come Home"). Before she can fully apologize Robbie falls into a deep slumber.
The next day Julia goes to Robbie's house to tell him how she really feels, only to find Linda instead. This scares Julia into eloping with Glen to Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Robbie wakes up and promptly kicks Linda (the "psycho") out. At his Grandma Rosie's 50th anniversary party, Robbie finds out from Holly what happened to Julia. Only then do Robbie and Julia realize that they may never see each other again, and they may never get to tell each other what's on their minds ("If I Told You" (Reprise)).
With urging from his grandmother and Sammy, Robbie goes to the airport and gets on the next plane to Vegas ("Move That Thang"). With the help of a group of Vegas impersonators (Billy Idol, Ronald Reagan, Tina Turner, Mr. T and many others), Robbie crashes Julia's and Glen's wedding at the Little White House Chapel and sings his new song to Julia ("Grow Old With You"). Glen is outraged that Robbie and Julia still have feelings for each other and blurts out that he cheated on Julia with hundreds of women. Upon hearing this, the impersonators beat Glen up, and Robbie proposes to Julia. She says yes, on one condition: "Will you sing at my wedding?" The answer is a resounding "Yes!" Later, Mr. and Mrs. Robbie Hart are wed ("It's Your Wedding Day" (Finale)).

The musical largely follows the same storyline as the 1998 film of the same title which starred Adam Sandler opposite Drew Barrymore. However, some plot and character elements were indeed altered. For instance:
*The song "Pop!" was removed for the US national tour because the set pieces for the song were too big. With this plot change, Glen proposes to Julia over the phone instead of at the restaurant in "Pop!"
Ben Brantley, in his review for The New York Times, wrote "the show has at least a flutter of a hedonist's pulse. And if its formulaic catering to an established public appetite feels cynical, the cast members exude earnestness and good nature. They are a personable enough lot, which is not the same as saying that they have personality. For, as so often happens when good (or even not-so-good) films turn into stage shows, the first things to be jettisoned are sharp edges and authentically quirky characters." He further noted "wispy" plot, Mr. Sklar's "pastiche score", and that "Rob Ashford's choreography is replete with literal-minded tributes to 1980's music videos for era-defining songs like 'Thriller,' 'Material Girl' and 'Flashdance.'"[14]
The Variety reviewer wrote that "Forced as it is, this is a fizzy confection offering enough easy enjoyment to attract the outer boroughs and the tourist trade. It's also derivative by design, to some extent making a virtue of its inherent phoniness via winking acknowledgement. Where the 1998 film ended with a scene featuring '80s icon Billy Idol, the stage adaptation corrals not only an Idol impersonator but a fake Tina Turner, Imelda Marcos, Cyndi Lauper, Mr. T and Ronald Reagan. Retro overkill is a distinct risk here, but one mainstream auds are unlikely to mind."[15]

A brand new website and system for the UK's oldest Buddhist Temple
Buddhapadipa Thai Temple is the UK's oldest Thai Buddhist Temple and is simply beautiful to visit. Just a stones throw from Wimbledon Common, set among a lovely neighbourhood of properties, the Temple is a place of tranquillity, reflection and meditation.
Mark, the founder of LogicSpot has been Buddhist since living in Thailand many years ago and living near the Temple a number of years ago, would visit regularly. We have provided the services for Buddhapadipa Thai Temple gratis for many years and love to see the site occupy number one position on Google for all prominent search phrases, and be a website that has a large following and hits on a daily basis.
Website redesign and custom development
We redesigned their website from ground up. Their existing website had a large many 10K following daily but wasn't easy to navigate and was showing its age. We built on top of a bespoke content management system, allowing the staff to manage their events calendar in a few clicks, as well as Daily Dhamma teachings and many other areas of the website.
We wrote bespoke transfer routines to scrape the content, headings and metadata from their existing 4,500 webpages and transfer them into the new CMS without any work from the Temple. We then search engine optimised every page and moved about 50% of the content to a new, simpler navigation structure … but then wrote 301 redirects for every page that had moved! Phew!
