Myer fumbles response to social media storm
PUBLISHED: 02 May 2013 17:12:00 | UPDATED: 06 May 2013 07:25:17PUBLISHED: 02 May 2013 PRINT EDITION: 03 May 2013Online outrage about comments made by Myer chief Bernie Brookes showed the power of social media. Photo: Luis Ascui
Paul Smith
Department store Myer's attempts to minimise the social media fallout resulting from chief executive Bernie Brookes's controversial national disability insurance scheme levy comments fell flat on Thursday.
Mr Brookes had lamented the potential impact of the NDIS levy on store sales, sparking outrage on social media. But two separate attempts by Myer to placate the masses only fuelled the indignation.
Twitter and Facebook lit up overnight on Wednesday after Mr Brookes told a Macquarie Securities conference that the proposed levy would "not [be] good for our customers and not good for the discretionary income world".
His gripe that the $300-odd increase in the Medicare levy would be "$300 [consumers] might have spent with us" served as a red rag to a herd of online bulls.
Many said customers with disabilities were being slighted by the comments, pointing out that the beneficiaries of the NDIS would have more money to spend at stores like Myer.
Sensing the online crowds were unhappy, Myer took to its Facebook page early on Thursday to try to hose down the rage.
"Thank you all for your Facebook posts and messages. To clarify comments made yesterday, like everyone we are absolutely supportive of any well constructed support for those with disabilities and that view seems reflected across the community. As a business however, we remain sensitive to imposts on the consumer by the government generally, for whatever purpose, as this adds to negative consumer sentiment and that adversely impacts sales, profit and jobs.
"Ideally we would like any government initiative to be funded within the revenue stream it has, rather than through a new or additional tax take.
"Thank you for the opportunity to give some substance to comments perhaps taken out of context."
'Half-assed' apologies never work: Papworth
But the online criticism continued, so Myer then resorted to an apology.
"We are very sorry to those who have been hurt by our comments," it tweeted. "And want to make it very clear that we support the introduction on the NDIS."
This was met with a torrent of complaints that the apology was not genuine.
Social media educator Laurel Papworth said she said she had tracked the reaction on Twitter and by late afternoon on Thursday had logged 1.6 million individual references to the Myer controversy, which rose to 2.9 million when retweets were included.
Myer had made key mistakes, she said.
"Myer has tried to manage the fallout, but haven't really done it well. One thing I always tell companies is never to do the half-assed apology. The half-assed apology, which starts with "if we have offended anyone," never goes down well. Of course you have upset people or you wouldn't be apologising," Ms Papworth said.
"If you are going to apologise then you grovel, you must be incredibly sorry and say you are doing everything you can to make it right – being half-assed is not an option."
Ms Papworth said Mr Brookes would be learning the hard way about the power of social media, but lamented the fact that other CEOs were sticking their heads in the sand when it came to properly understanding social media.
A lesson for CEOs
She said many CEOs were trained in media relations, but stayed away from social networks themselves and therefore had no idea how controversy could take hold.
"Every time a CEO thinks they are talking to a room of people, such as investors, shareholders, business journalists and their peers, what they haven't realised is that the consumer is now in the room as well," Ms Papworth said.
"Whether it is Bernie Brookes today or the Qantas CEO a while ago telling a business meeting that he doesn't care about the leisure or family market, they are ignorant of the impact their statements will have once they are on social media. Unless CEOs get on Twitter and use it, they will never understand how it works and how powerful it has become."
Myer shares closed down 2.3 per cent on Thursday in a generally lower retail sector and amid concerns that the online controversy could build into a real-world boycott of stores.

I just ordered this from dx.com:
I was tired of the dim light, the standard W5W bulb gave, so I got this - It's REALLY BRIGHT! Fit's perfectly in the W5W socket and holds itself in place.
I'm a little unsure which Ford models that does not have this type of roof light, but this should at least fit any Fiesta, Mondeo and Focus that does not come with maplights. Be sure to verify that it's a W5W socket - If it's not, I have seen other variations of similar LED boards on ebay with different socket types.

From the desk of the Chief Medical Officer
By David Edwards, MD
"It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory." - W. Edwards Deming
"Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine. "~Robert C. Gallagher
I think these quotes are helpful to put a perspective on health care and Banner Gateway in particular. Potentially, the next few years could see the greatest change in health care in our lifetime.
Not only with new diagnostic and therapeutic tools for patients but even more fundamentally in how we are paid; the relationships between hospitals, physicians and insurance companies; and the very infrastructure we use to share information. Deming, an engineer who helped rebuild industry in postwar Japan (in particular Toyota), reminds us that we don't have to change. But I agree with him, those who won't change, will not survive.
Banner Health is moving forward towards development of the Banner Health Network to develop new relationships to meet the challenges in the coming years. These are uncharted waters and our initial work with the CMS ACO model affords us the chance to experiment with these relationships between hospitals and physicians, and those who reimburse us for our services, to find out what will work in the unique Phoenix market. This allows us and our physicians to be ahead of the curve.
I often tell the story of the Polar Bear Strategy in describing how I view Banner's position for the future. Four middle-aged, out-of-shape, overweight men are out hunting in Alaska and they have one gun between them. After several days, they notice that there's been polar bear poop outside their campground each morning. That evening as they're sitting around the campfire, they discuss how they are being stalked by a polar bear. As they sit there quietly, they realize one thing. They don't have to be able to out run the polar bear, just one of the other middle-aged, out-of-shape guys. Banner is in a very good position providing high-quality health care with a good infrastructure and financial status. We will be able to "out run" other health care systems that may not be able to change quickly enough.
Banner Gateway Medical Center has undergone significant leadership change in the C suite and other levels of leadership. Banner moves executives around because it improves performance as new leaders with different skill sets build upon what was accomplished by previous leaders with different strengths. It is viewed as a sign of good, not poor, performance. I look forward to learning from Todd and the other new leaders who are coming to this campus as this will make us all better.
And in closing, Robert Gallagher reminds us that in spite of the stressful times change brings, we need to have a sense of humor which can really help our perspective. And if humor doesn't work, as I told one of our colleagues, when the going gets tough -- hug your kid, it helps us remember what is important.

It's funny how terminal hair color can change over time. I was born a redhead, which was a shock to my parents, who are both brunettes. Now, I have dark brown hair, as well.
For the first four months of my life, my parents thought they were going to be raising a redhead. I have seen baby photos of myself, and my hair was very bright.
My best friend was born a blond, and now she has hair darker than mine. Parents anxious to know what their child's hair will look like should wait about six months before making any assumptions.

A Life-Course Perspective on Girls' Criminality
- Frida Andersson,
- Sten Levander,
- Marie Torstensson Levander
- … show all 3 hide
This chapter explores the female patterning of crime and factors that differentiate between these patterns. The theoretical frame considers the developmental course of criminality and some common developmental pathways or trajectories. This perspective is concerned with identifying factors across people's lives that account for both stability and change in antisocial behavior and crime. The family, school, and peer groups, expressed in social bonds and social networks, are the dominant sources of social control during childhood and adolescence and although childhood oppositional behavior tends to attenuate these important sources of social control, this is not invariably the case. The chapter has a special focus on a female pattern of crime that has not previously been given so much attention in research, namely an adulthood-onset trajectory. The overall aim is to contribute to a better understanding of factors that contribute to the development of different criminal careers among females by studying individual and social characteristics and how such factors interact to change and shape criminal involvement over two critical developmental phases: early adolescence and the transition into young adulthood for a cohort of Swedish girls.

Give us a break
I've been reading a lot about tax breaks in the past couple of months. First there was the anticipation and ultimate disappointment of Digital Britain, when we hoped that the games industry might get the tax breaks it needed. A missed opportunity, many said.
The reality of being a Games Artist
I have just finished teaching the summer games course, an intense 3 days that serves as an introduction to games art production and the many tools that games artists use.
Games Magazine talks training with Escape Studios
When Edge magazine came along to talk to founder of Escape Studios, Dominic Davenport, Recruitment Director Paul Wilkes and Games tutor Simon Fenton, what one thing did they all agree on? That, becoming a games artist has never been trickier without the right training. You can read the full article in the June issue of Edge magazine...

Bundesbank's profits halves to €2.2bn
PUBLISHED: 15 Feb 2012 07:42:33 | UPDATED: 15 Feb 2012 07:49:01PRINT EDITION: 15 Feb 2012
The Bundesbank's profits fell by half last year to 2.2 billion euros because the eurozone debt crisis forced it to make exceptional provisions, Germany's central bank's president said in remarks to appear Wednesday.
The provisions totalling some 1.6 billion euros ($1.97 billion) "have an impact on the Bundesbank's profits," Jens Weidmann told the daily Handelsblatt in excerpts available on Tuesday.
The result is bad news for the German government, since the Bundesbank hands over its net profits each year to the state, within a limit of 3.5 billion euros.
Any funds above that ceiling are used to repay debts.
Weidmann also told the paper that Greece had taken "an important step" towards resolving its financial crisis with parliamentary approval of 3.2 billion euros in cuts on Sunday.
"What will be decisive in the end is implementing the measures. For that there has to be an administration that implements the measures and a people who support it," he said, against the backdrop of furious demonstrations in Athens over the planned cuts.
The Bundesbank releases full results each year in March.

Child hospitalized after being hit by car near ClaytonBy Rob Moore Editor CLAYTON - An Atlanta child was injured after being struck by a vehicle in Rabun County Tuesday afternoon.
Trooper 1st Class Casey Coffee of Georgia State Patrol Post 7 in Toccoa said the accident occurred on private property at Ramah Darom Camp near Clayton at 12:23 p.m. A 2012 Lexus ES-300 driven by 67-year-old Louis Selwyn Lazarus of Longwood, Fla., was backing up when the driver lost control, Coffee said.

Bryant's food arrives and he requests silence. After the meal, he is contemplative. "I know I will live to see a free Cuba," he explains. "Because I made a little deal with my Heavenly Father. He does things for me, to reward my efforts. After we hit those rocks, with the Cuban gunboats after us, how did we escape that? It was a miracle."
This, he says, is why he classifies the July 4 debacle as La victoria. "The victory is the attitude," he stresses, picking steak threads from his teeth. "The perseverance. For God to take a situation like that and turn it into a fantastic display of His power. Talk about supernatural."
There are those, of course, who take a slightly less Christian view of the Bryant legacy. "Tony Bryant is nothing but a small-time car thief trying to make something out of himself," mutters Ed Buscher, the man forced at gunpoint to fly Bryant to Havana in 1969.
Buscher, a 70-year-old former fighter pilot who lives in Fort Lauderdale, spent less than two hours with his assailant on that night 24 years ago. But he speaks of the hijacking as if it took place yesterday. "Scared? Shit no. I'dve killed the fucker, but the damn dumb stewardesses wouldn't get out of the way. Bryant was so damn nervous I was afraid he was gonna shoot somebody by mistake.
"I sat there and talked with him for an hour," Buscher recalls. "He didn't have no note for Castro. He was strictly a guy in trouble who thought he was going to the land of milk and honey. I told him he was crazy, that he was gonna get his ass thrown out into a sugarcane field. He says Castro threw him in jail because he robbed some Cuban agent on the plane. Hell, that's something he thought up in the cane field. The guy he robbed was a little Jewish man from New York."
So why does Bryant routinely describe Buscher as a "good friend"? "I've been on a TV show with him, and I went to his wedding," the aging airman concedes. "But that was out of respect for Tony Cuesta. He's a real warrior. All this stuff Bryant talks about, about being some bigshot Black Panther, is a figment of his mind, just like him dressing in that pseudo fucking beret with a star on it. I'd like to kick his phony ass."
As with many of his claims, it's virtually impossible to document whether Bryant was a member of the Panthers. If he was, it was likely on the periphery of the movement; his name is not listed in any of the intelligence files compiled by San Francisco and Oakland police during the group's heyday. ("Who cares if I was a Black Panther?" is Bryant's only comment. "I could care less. It happened to be one of the things I was. But it's not who I am now.")
As for his feats as a prisoner in Cuba, several exiles who knew Bryant in prison agree that he withstood harrowing living conditions heroically.
"Tony was loved by all prisoners, especially the political prisoners," says Felix Zuaznabar, who spent about five years with Bryant in Cuba's Principe prison. "Whenever there was an injustice to others, he'd set his cell on fire. Actually set it on fire. They'd send guards to beat him up. But he would always fight hard." Bryant was such a hellraiser, Zuaznabar remembers, that prison authorities made him an orderly just to mollify him.
But Zuaznabar, a jack-of-all-trades who lives in Wynwood, doesn't buy the story that Bryant escaped from Guanajay, Cuba's highest security prison. "Oh no, no one escapes from any of the prisons in Cuba," he laughs. "Perhaps this happened after I left Cuba, in 1976. But I seriously doubt it."
In fact, former inmates would have a hard time assessing any of the anecdotes in Hijack because the book, inexplicably, was never printed in Spanish. "I'd be a millionaire if it had been," fumes Bryant. "But the damn publisher never got around to it. He printed a version in French for the European market." Freedom Press International subsequently went out of business, leaving Bryant to peddle the book on his own. He estimates 44,000 copies from the 50,000 printing have been sold.
James Bryant could never bring himself to read Hijack. "Finished the first page and screamed," confesses Tony Bryant's 81-year-old father. "For a kid to get into such trouble and tell the whole world A I just sealed it up with tape." The elder Bryant is lucky he never read more. The book characterizes him as a religious zealot who drove away his wife and beat his children mercilessly.
On the phone from his home in San Bernardino, the retired maintenance worker and church deacon certainly doesn't sound like a monster. In fact, he weeps inconsolably when discussing his youngest son's life. "I still remember when he was a little boy, just eight or nine, a minister up in Palo Alto [California] predicted Tony was going to grow up to be a minister, and each day we prayed on that."

It is understood that Prodrive, set to be F1's twelfth team in 2008, has been successful in its recently reported bid to buy Aston Martin.
Backed by US and Middle East investors, Warwickshire based Prodrive's boss David Richards led a consortium that reportedly bid an estimated $900 million to buy the English car manufacturer from Ford.
The ultimate price may have increased to as much as (US) $965 million, with a deal set to be announced on Friday at the Geneva auto show.
Massa fastest, setting unofficial lap record of the track. This time followed by both Renaults. That's how the winter testing ended. Bring on the races !
For the record in Barcelona – Williams faster than Spyker and that is probably the only thing that can be concluded from the result of that test.

The philosophy of supporting Honda's green direction with donations to enviromental charities through myearthdream.com is pretty much in line with rumours that started to circulate several months ago when Simon Fuller joined the team. Not that much in line with the way the teams use their liveries to make money… Sure they are going to be different.
Will see on Monday February 26 …
Alonso and Hamilton on top, Massa and Raikkonen over half a second behind them. This time both Honda cars running strong.
Davidson faster then both Toyotas …
Both BMWs and McLarens in top 5 today, with Button on P3.
Toyota still can't get it right …
On the same day when Button speaks about Honda's lack of speed they finally get among the top cars.
Last 2 years they had started slowly and played catch up with leaders later on in the season. Will this finally be the season when they start on par with the top of the pack ?
This is BAR F1 car in 2005 in Shanghai …. After the race of course …

We started with a vision of becoming a partner with our clients in environmental management issues. Our clients value that perspective in business, and it has helped us become one of the most trusted companies in our service sector. That philosophy has real and significant effects on budgets. For example, Ingenium recently completed a project that resulted in over $300,000 annual savings to one of our customers, and also resulted in the recapture of significant revenues by identifying recoverable value in what was once managed as hazardous waste. That's only one example of the benefits of our partnership philosophy.
Ingenium personnel are fully versed in the most up-to-date regulations governing health, safety and compliance of workers and facilities. This working knowledge helps our clients avoid risk with both waste materials, and non-compliance with government regulations. However, Ingenium's services far go beyond regulatory management into a business partnership.
When the Ingenium team starts working with you, we automatically do a Needs Analysis. This includes both an upstream and downstream process review with an eye towards creating greater operating efficiencies. We work with you to understand how, and why waste is produced and then, using our experience, recommend where less can be produced or it can stop being produced all together. This Needs Analysis is conducted on an ongoing basis by our highly trained personnel as a complementary adjunct to all our other services.
Our goal is to do much more than provide a disposal or even recycling service to our clients. Ingenium is committed to a partnership with our clients in environmental management issues, working together to increase sustainability and reduce cost, and recapture capital in every possible area.

Ads watchdog bans Weetabix app
Weetabix has been ordered to remove its WeetaKid app after a watchdog ruled that it was likely to make children feel inferior if they did not eat the company's products.
The app included two games featuring the WeetaKid character and started with prompts such as "I've given you access to a place you can go every day to get all the energy you need" and "Do you have a WeetaKid Weetabix box?".
Players who responded in the negative received a message reading: "What?! No Weetabix?! Why make things harder for yourself?" and "Remember what I told you! A failure to prepare is preparation for failure!", "You're not eating your Weetabix? What about the extra energy? Oh good heavens!" or "No Weetabix? Disaster!"
Professor Agnes Nairn, who investigates issues related to marketing, ethics and children, and the Family and Parenting Institute complained that the app "exploited the credulity, loyalty, vulnerability or lack of experience of children by making them feel inferior or unpopular for not buying a product" and included a direct exhortation to children to buy an advertised product.
Weetabix said the game took place in an imaginary and fantastical world, arguing that children who played computer games disassociated what happened in them from the real world and interpreted messages only as a means to continue with the game.
It acknowledged that it was possible that messages and actions in the game might have an impact on children's food preferences, but said that in itself did not constitute a breach of advertising regulations.
But the Advertising Standards Authority said it was concerned that the language and tone of many of the prompts, such as "What?! No Weetabix?!" and "Tired is not a good look for you. Why not eat something?" was persuasive and negative, and could lead children to understand that if they did not eat Weetabix they were failing in some way.
It ruled that the app must not appear again in its current form and added: "We told Weetabix to ensure that their marketing communications that were directly targeted at children did not exploit their credulity or vulnerability or make them feel inferior if they did not buy, or ask their parents to buy, Weetabix's products."
Family and Parenting Institute and Daycare Trust chief executive Anand Shukla said: "Most parents don't know what an 'advergame' is. Nor do most children. The ASA agreed with us that the Weetabix advergame could exploit children's vulnerability and was likely to make them feel inferior if they didn't buy or encourage their parents to buy Weetabix products.
"Weetabix have now had to remove the advergame from its website. It was available for 16 months before we spotted it and we have serious concerns about what else is out there. Families need to be vigilant and look with new eyes at the games their children play online, on iPads and smartphones."

In Response To: Palmetto (Gail (O))
Thanks for all the help.
I have been taking formulas containing saw palmetto extract for many years, for mild prostate enlargement, so I will phase these out, and see what happens.
I ran across one website which said saw pametto was a problem,but it contained no references to back it up. Most information out there says nothing on the issue, or says the opposite: that saw palmetto increases labido.
Saw palmetto is also said to decrease PSA.
Thanks again, --DUDLEY

Even though Justin has been spending time with other girls, Selena knows her Valentine's Day just wouldn't be the same without the love of her life. That's why the 'Come and Get It' singer is hoping that Justin will reach out to her on the special day, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
With all the drama revolving around Justin Bieber, 19, you would think that Selena Gomez, 21, would want nothing to do with the bad boy. But Selena does want to hear from Justin, and she's planning to let Valentine's Day decide the fate of their on-and-off romance once and for all, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Selena Gomez & Justin Bieber's Valentine's Day: Will He Make Her Wish Come True?
Selena's loved ones have been telling her to stay far away from Justin, but the "Slow Down" singer is hoping to reunite with her ex on Valentine's Day, an insider tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
"Selena is no longer making any attempts to reach out to Justin. She's hoping Justin will at least make an attempt to connect with her on Valentine's Day and see how she's doing," the source reveals. "If she doesn't hear from him then there is absolutely no way she is going to make any effort to wish him a happy birthday."
"A Valentine's Day diss will just be the last straw," the source adds. "Of course this would make Selena's family and friends happy, but not Selena. She's still in love with him, she can't help it."
Poor Selena! We definitely don't want her to be unhappy on Valentine's Day, but at the same time, it sounds like it wouldn't be a good idea for her to reconnect with Justin.
"The more Justin moves away from Selena, the more she wants him. The whole relationship is unhealthy and toxic for her," the source says. "She is supposed to be going to 12-step support meetings to deal with her co-dependency issues, but she doesn't really think they will help. She still doesn't really get the insanity of the relationship."
Has Justin Bieber Moved On?
As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Justin may already have a new love interest — and no, we are not talking about Chantel Jeffries.
The Biebs has recently been linked to Katherine Gazda, 18, but according to the up-and-coming singer, there is nothing going on between them.
On Feb. 9, Katherine took to her Twitter to deny the rumors, writing, "PLEASE DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ!!"
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers, has Justin moved on from Selena? Do YOU think Justin should celebrate Valentine's Day with Selena or at least call her? Let us know.

GrOw up selena. Your not perfect and you need to realize how pathetic this all looks. Just move on like justin has, and stop blaming him for all that's happened. He may have done some bad things, but he's having a hard enough time as it is.. So just stop! Your not helping with what your doing.
Posted at 11:07 PM on February 18, 2014
Selena in a way is pathetic. If she was 'so' over justin, like she said she was then she wouldn't be continuously dissing him and hoping for something on valentines day…. She always blames him for everything and justin was perfectly fine before she came along, when they broke up the last time he really started acting out. Selena isn't perfect, she's just jealous justin finally moved on. He may have done wrong but she doesn't need to always blame him for what happened between them, she needs to grow up and stop having Taylor make her decisions cause Taylor has a new boyfriend every week. Selena needs to stop being so fake about things and solve her own problems and take responsibility for what she's done. Your not perfect selena.
Posted at 5:23 PM on February 15, 2014
If selena truly want to be with Justin Bieber then she needs to tell him her shelf. It's that simple He has try to reach out and every time she said no. Well you want him selena then you have to reach out to him and tell him You think he the only guy for you. He needs to know weather or not that he single or taken He can read her mind. I hope if she does read this it will make her realize that she needs to reach out to him. Which I highly doubt it. It's up to her if she want him the tell him if not then she should be expecting anything from him. Now if they were still going out then I could see him getting her something but it not going to happen until she said she want him and that is it.
Posted at 5:15 PM on February 15, 2014
If she want him she got reach out to him. He has done it twice already and she refused to. So it up to her to decide weather or not to be with him. If she not to sure she want to be with him then what the point of Justin reaching out to her. He try many time Just to be inorge by her. What do you guys thing jouranal were that was him reaching out to her. If she want him to be with him she got to tell him hershelf. that is it and all I got to say. I like selena gomez and Justin bieber together and this is a guy talking here. But it just can go oh he got reach out she should reach out to him thats it and only it. If she want to see him that bad then it up to her to do it not Justin.

Verizon CEO and chairman Ivan Seidenberg told Britain's Financial Times that he doesn't regard Apple's iPhone as having much chance of success at its new $200 price point.
While describing Apple as a "great company", Mr Seidenberg highlights its small market share of global handset sales. He scoffs at suggestions that the iPhone is about to become a mass-market handset because Apple has accepted mobile operators' pleas to subsidise it.
That list that does not, of course, include Verizon Communications.
"In the long term, my view is that we're the hunter. That's the way I see it, and I'm trying to develop a new generation of hunters."
The most striking fact about his remarks for me was a feeling that I've heard them before: it's the same talk we heard before the iPhone stormed the fancier smartphone segment. Take, for example, Palm CEO Ed Colligan, who mocked Apple as "PC guys" with no hope of being able to "walk in" on his company's turf. And now Seidenberg mocks it because it hasn't "earned" its place on the field.
Earn what from who? Two years on, and cellular carriers still see their market – subscribers and equipment manufacturers alike – as things to which they are entitled.

Insulin-like growth factor II mRNA-binding protein 1 (IMP1) belongs to a family of RNA-binding proteins implicated in mRNA localization, turnover, and translational control. Mouse IMP1 is expressed during early development, and an increase in expression occurs around embryonic day 12.5 (E12.5). To characterize the physiological role of IMP1, we generated IMP1-deficient mice carrying a gene trap insertion in the Imp1 gene. Imp1(-/-) mice were on average 40% smaller than wild-type and heterozygous sex-matched littermates. Growth retardation was apparent from E17.5 and remained permanent into adult life. Moreover, Imp1(-/-) mice exhibited high perinatal mortality, and only 50% were alive 3 days after birth. In contrast to most other organs, intestinal epithelial cells continue to express IMP1 postnatally, and Imp1(-/-) mice exhibited impaired development of the intestine, with small and misshapen villi and twisted colon crypts. Analysis of target mRNAs and global expression profiling at E12.5 indicated that Igf2 translation was downregulated, whereas the postnatal intestine showed reduced expression of transcripts encoding extracellular matrix components, such as galectin- 1, lumican, tenascin-C, procollagen transcripts, and the Hsp47 procollagen chaperone. Taken together, the results demonstrate that IMP1 is essential for normal growth and development. Moreover, IMP1 may facilitate intestinal morphogenesis via regulation of extracellular matrix formation.

Informed of the test, Roberto Ramos says he hadn't heard of the nineteenth-century Manuel Mesa Rodriguez but asserts that Cernuda must have been selling the painting as if it were created by the twentieth-century Manuel Mesa Lopez. Both are Cuban, but the latter is widely known for his paintings of folkloric scenes and murals on government buildings in Havana. "He painted the whole Capitolio Nacional; he painted a lot," says Ramos. "He is in all of the books of the era; he was the son of a patriot who was José Martí's secretary, who was named Luis Mesa. That's the Manuel Mesa who is collected." The Mesa Rodriguez in Cernuda's collection is, he declares, "European garbage that doesn't have anything to do with Cuban painting."
The evening of February 11, Cernuda stuck his neck out again, this time at the University of Miami's Lowe Art Museum. The occasion: the opening-night reception for an exhibition of some 50 paintings and drawings by the late Antonio Gattorno, a Cuban modernist who was friends with writers John Dos Passos, Ernest Hemingway, and Alejo Carpentier.
According to the owner of the collection, 46-year-old Frank Padron, Cernuda attended the opening and then went to dinner with a group of collectors and told them he believed some of the Gattornos were fakes. "He questioned a couple of paintings, and he's wrong," says Padron, who owns an art-framing shop in Kendall. "Fortunately for Gattorno and for me, Gattorno's paintings are very exclusive. He died almost like Vermeer. He kept his best paintings, and when he died, they were all in his home."
After the artist's 1980 death in Massachusetts, his widow, Isabel Cabral, sold about twenty of his paintings to a neighbor for $20,000. Those paintings remained in the neighbor's attic for two decades. Padron bought them in 2003 and collaborated with Sean Poole, who is married to a niece of Cabral's, on a book about Gattorno that was published last year.
"There hadn't been too many fakes, but since we did the book, some fakes are popping up right now," Padron reports. "A couple of people have brought me paintings that I've rejected, that I'm not interested in. I try not to get into telling people, 'Your painting is fake,' and stuff like that. Because I did that once and you lose the friendship, you lose the collector as a possible buyer. If somebody comes and asks me my opinion about Gattorno and a Gattorno painting, I'll tell them. But I don't volunteer. I don't try to be like Ramon Cernuda, who claims to be the crusader for Cuban art. He offered his opinion in front of too many people, which makes it no longer private conversation. That hurts Gattorno's paintings, and he may have to answer to that a little bit later."
At Cernuda's office, when the subject of Padron's Gattorno exhibit comes up, the dealer simply smiles. "No comment," he says. Perhaps he is only now learning that when Ramon Cernuda talks, people listen -- sometimes too many people.

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) protein LMP1 is considered to be a functional homologue of the CD40 receptor. However, in contrast to the latter, LMP1 is a constitutively active signaling molecule. To compare B cell-specific LMP1 and CD40 signaling in an unambiguous manner, we generated transgenic mice conditionally expressing a CD40/LMP1 fusion protein, which retained the LMP1 cytoplasmic tail but has lost the constitutive activity of LMP1 and needs to be activated by the CD40 ligand. We show that LMP1 signaling can completely substitute CD40 signaling in B cells, leading to normal B-cell development, activation, and immune responses including class-switch recombination, germinal center formation, and somatic hypermutation. In addition, the LMP1-signaling domain has a unique property in that it can induce class-switch recombination to IgG1 independent of cytokines. Thus, our data indicate that LMP1 has evolved to imitate T-helper cell function allowing activation, proliferation, and differentiation of EBV-infected B cells independent of T cells.

Potassium is the most abundant cation in the cytosol, where it plays a role in basal functions. Rapid uptake and distribution of K+ is therefore required for plant growth. Three members of the so-called Shaker K+ channel gene family (nine genes identified in Arabidopsis) play a role in these transports: AKT1, SKOR and AKT2. The encoded proteins are involved in K+ uptake by the root, K+ secretion into the xylem sap and K+ transport in the phloem tissues, respectively. Using the GUS reporter strategy, we have found that another Shaker channel gene, AtKC1, is expressed in epidermal and cortical cells in roots (supporting the hypothesis of a role in K+ uptake from the soil, together with AKT1), and in trichomes and hydathodes in leaves. These four genes were selected for expression studies, and two-hybrid experiments were performed for channels displaying overlapping expression patterns. The data support the hypothesis that physical interactions could occur in planta between AtKC1 and AKT1, and between AKT1 and AKT2. Potassium deficiency, salt stress and hormonal treatments (ABA, BA, 2,4-D) were found to differentially affect channel mRNA levels, each channel displaying its own regulation pattern. The most prominent effects were (1) a strong induction of AtKC1 transcript accumulation in leaves (hydathodes, trichomes and leaf epidermis) in response to NaCl treatment, suggesting a key role of the protein in adaptation to saline conditions, and (2) a strong decrease in SKOR transcript levels by hormones, supporting the hypothesis that K+ secretion into the xylem sap is under tight hormonal control.

Cajuns' add two more wins to their streak and head to California
The song says "They wish they all could be California giiiiiiiiiiirls..."
But lets be honest. Right now, any of the teams in this weekend's Judi Garman Classic out in Fullerton, Calif. would LOVE to be playing softball like the girls from Louisiana.
UL swept Louisiana Tech Tuesday afternoon at Lamson Park extending their win streak to 12 games. UL took both ends of a doubleheader.
In game one, Donna Bourgeois did her thing. She threw a complete game shutout and struck out 8. The Cajuns won 8-0 in 5 innings.
Game two was a bit more interesting. It took UL nine innings to put away the Lady Techsters but UL got a clutch RBI from Melissa Verde late and walked away 3-2 winners. Sophomore pitcher Ashley Brignac tossed 7 solid innings allowing two unearned runs and only five hits. She also K'd a career-high 16 hitters. Donna Bourgeois came in for two innings of relief and picked up the win.
Next up, the Cajuns travel to California to take on some big time teams.
Thu, Mar 12 Nebraska - - at Fullerton, Calif. 9:30 p.m.
Fri, Mar 13 Michigan - - at Fullerton, Calif. 3:00 p.m.
Fri, Mar 13 Fresno State - - at Fullerton, Calif. 7:30 p.m.

Natural Remedies for thrush – for when you just need to be free from the itching and discomfort of thrush!
Hi, My name is Tara Lewis and I hope you enjoy and get something out of my blog. I've been there and worn the T shirt as they say when it comes to the dreaded Yeast Infection.
Here you will find practical tips if you are looking to relieve your symptoms using natural means. Consider the natural approach after you've got yourself checked out by your doctor – just to make sure you definitely know what you are dealing with. I've done considerable searching online to find for myself a real (and by that I mean 'practical'!), Natural method for some much needed relief from thrush!
When I first started digging about online and searching my local library I had what's known as a 'recurring Yeast Infection'. It would clear up for a while only to return weeks later What I really wanted was a no bull tested Plan! and maybe someone to give me a few pointers along the way. Seem like a tall order?
Well here's were I got my lucky break, In my online searching for relief, I got so frustrated at the basically useless information I called an old friend, who I knew had been big into natural remedies at college and asked her advice, you can take a peek at what she showed me here!
Most women will tell you that at some point, they have experienced the itching, burning irritation that accompanies thrush. In fact, it's not only women who suffer from thrush. Men can get genital thrush too, and anyone can get oral thrush. Infants often suffer from nappy rash which is itself a form of thrush.
While finding natural remedies for thrush is usually the main goal , it's also essential to understand the underlying causes. That way, you can avoid having to rely on natural remedies with the focus being on prevention.
Candida Explained
The underlying cause and the symptoms that natural thrush remedies seek to cure, is a type of yeast called 'Candida'. This is naturally present in everyone's body, but there are times when an imbalance or another underlying problem causes this naturally occurring yeast to overproduce.
A Picture of Thrush – "Paints a thousand words"
Often, this overproduction of Candida yeasts is thanks to antibiotics, which kill off the good bacteria in our bodies that keep it in check, resulting in a yeast infection, however, any number of things, such as douching and other every day things can lead to a yeast infection.
Prevention Is Better Than Cure
Of course, once you have developed a case of thrush, you will need to find a cure, whether it's an over the counter medication, or one of the natural remedies for thrush that are out there, however, as with anything else, prevention is better than cure.
Poor diet, certain medications, stress and auto immune diseases are all linked to Candida infections, and it's important to note that if you do treat the symptoms of thrush, but not the causes, it will almost always return.
To make sure that you avoid yeast infections altogether, try to make sure that you eat healthily, look after your general health, avoid stress and have regular medical exams. That way, you'll be able to boost your system, and might be able to avoid thrush altogether. Try eating live culture yoghurt regularly, or including other Candida fighting foods in your regular diet too.
Start With the Mildest Treatments
As with many things, treatments for thrush can do more harm than good. It's always a good idea therefore, when you do suffer an infection, to start with the mildest forms of treatments first.
Try one of the many natural remedies for thrush out there, avoid sexual contact when you are infected, take care of your general health, and so on. If that does not work, you can try over the counter remedies, and if that still doesn't work, then your doctor should be able to prescribe treatment.
Make sure that whatever treatment you do choose, you ensure that you continue with treatment long enough to eradicate the infection completely – rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Is Candida harmful?
Candida yeast cells are a normal component of all our bodies. It's only when the conditions that the cells multiply out of control, you experience an 'overgrowth of yeast cells' and your body does what it normally does to any 'invader', it reacts! Itching and irritation associated with a yeast infection are your bodies natural reaction to the overgrowth of yeast cells which are causing the irritation. The trick to avoiding and treating thrush is to know the common triggers of yeast infections, you may in time get to know your own triggers, and be able to take action as soon as you feel the symptoms of an 'overgrowth'.
O.k so how can you get fast relief from yeast infection symptoms – using natural remedies? Usually I have to read through a mountain of information to get help. When it comes to piecing together a good plan to start to tackle the symptoms of thrush it can become a nightmare. However again and again I've heard good reports from one easy to implement online resource for natural remedies against yeast infection. This is one of the few I'm happy to show you because it offers clear precise instructions on how to find relief fast.
Click Here – for a very practical 'how to' Guide to getting Natural relief from Thrush!
Unfortunately if you are suffering from thrush right at this moment then reading about effective long term methods just isn't going to give you what you urgently need now, which is fast relief NOW! But I am glad to say you will be able to access both in the link to the Resource above.

The Saeed Bin Suroor-trained Ihtimal was an impressive winner of the Group 3 UAE Oaks at Meydan.
The daughter of Shamardal was a very short priced favourite to follow up her recent success in the UAE 1000 Guineas but despite racing a little keener than Silvestre De Sousa may have liked in the early stages of the contest, she comfortably saw out the extra distance and cleared away from her seven rivals.
The runners were held in the stalls for some time after Magroora reared up and deposited Pat Cosgrave out of the saddle though this did not appear to have too much effect on the race as they went a modest gallop.
Sign Of Lucky and Illuminating Dream were among those to dispute the early fractions but all eyes were on the Godolphin filly as she began to make her move with five furlongs to travel.
Asked to go on with two furlongs to travel, she picked up nicely and soon cleared away from her rivals. Feedyah kept on to be a distant second with Mensoora back in third.

Yup. External pots on both the roll and tilt servo. Camera gimbal stabilization by HoverflyPro FC. The camera can pan 30-deg each way and all the way down. The pan, tilt and shutter are controlled by the camera operator. I can flick two switches on the frame and control the tilt and shutter while flying from the one Tx (framing the shot by video downlink using eyetop mono-lcd glasses).
I am a comms tech / radio tech full-time. I would hate to pay for someone else to sort this stuff! I know I have spent over 1000 hours on this in the last 18 months... I can see why complete setups cost $15-20K+ The RX100 stills stabilization is stunning. I did an aircraft museum trip a week ago and shot indoor 1/30th Auto ISO all day and never missed a shot... without high iso grain. The video is stunningly clear without stab on. There are 3 settings. Off, Active and On. With stab set to On, the camera introduces (I think) a little jitter. I video'd the fountain video (earlier in the thread) set to On. When yout watch it closely - there is jitter. There isn't on my non-stab'd videos. The wind has been terrible and I haven'y done any octo/quad video flying for a while. Pete |

have any of you guys seen this to my eye there is minimal if no jello. @efliernz so can you recommend the rx100 for MR video capture how do you fly it without stab on? you just minimize vibration from the frame? |
Oct 10, 2012, 02:32 PM | ||
I needed a new camera as I wore the LX3 out. I am very happy with the camera as a light-weight camera - my multis are on the lighter side of machinery. The heavier cameras (GH2 upwards) handle vibes really well because they are heavy and have a resistance to inertia. The RX100 is susceptible to vibes (I think) because it is light. Your frame /motors/gimbals need to be tight - no floppy wires or parts as they all create vibes. The 28mm (76 degrees) lens shows up any movement far more than a Gopro on 100-120 deg. Don't compare the two! Pete |

I've had the RX100 for a couple of months now. It is an amazing cam. And compared to my Powershot S100 it is pretty forgiving regarding vibrations.
Some test clips from my summer at the southern coast of Norway. Simple quad with DJI Naza. Non stabilised camera mount, no stabilisation in post:
But now I really need the best possible way to trigger this cam for stills while on board the quad. Really.... a servo is STILL the only way? |
Nov 04, 2012, 05:45 PM | |
Video looks good. Did you have stabilization enabled in the camera?
As for the trigger... it's the only way without breaking the camera apart (as far as I can tell). I wish there was a remote so much too... I'm happy to take someone elses RX100 apart if they want me to to see if I can wire it out! Pete |
Nov 06, 2012, 02:14 AM | |
Better late than never... how I shoot / trigger the RX100:
The shot from the rear (yeah... the out-of-focus one) shows a bolt and a spring. This is how I hit the review button as it's hidden behind the bracket! The board-cam is very close to the 28mm of the RX100. Not perfect but functional! Pete |

Back in the 1990s, my first major Windows scripting project was automating a system cleanup and migration. One deceptively simple task was emptying the Recycle Bin. I finally ended up having a script delete the folder during the cleanup process.
Since then, tools like the Shell32.dll component have simplified working with special folders such as the Recycle Bin. For example, the VBScript script in Listing 1, EmptyRecycleBin.vbs, performs the task that I was trying to perform during the migration years ago—it empties the recycle bin without prompting. Like any Recycle Bin operation these days, this script has its limits: It only empties the current user's Recycle Bin, and if some of the items need elevated permissions to be deleted, you need to run the script with elevated permissions.
Listing 1: EmptyRecycleBin.vbs

Option Explicit
Dim sa, fso, item, items
Set sa = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set items = sa.Namespace(10).Items()
On Error Resume Next
For Each item in items
 If fso.FileExists(item.Path) Then
 fso.DeleteFile item.Path, True
 Else
 fso.DeleteFolder item.Path, True
 End If
Next
While EmptyRecycleBin.vbs is useful for deleting all the items in the Recycle Bin, it doesn't let you delete individual items. That's where the PowerShell script Get-Recycled.ps1 comes in handy.
Get-Recycled.ps1 enumerates all items in the Recycle Bin. While enumerating these items, the script adds the following information:
- The date the item was deleted (DeletionTime and DeletionTimeUtc)
- The directory in which the item was originally located (OriginalParent)
- The item's original name (OriginalName)
- The item's complete original path (OriginalFullName)
- How long the item has been in the Recycle Bin (Age)
You can then use this information to delete or perform another type of operation on specific Recycle Bin items. For example, Listing 2 shows some PowerShell commands that use this information to delete files that have been in the Recycle Bin more than 10 days, get the original location of all the files deleted in the last hour, and restore all the .zip files in the Recycle Bin.
Listing 2: Sample Commands That Use Get-Recycled.ps1

# Delete items that have been in the Recycle Bin
# more than 10 days.
Get-Recycled | ?\\{$_.Age.TotalDays -gt 10\\}
 | Remove-Item

# Get the original location of all items deleted
# in the last hour.
Get-Recycled | ?\\{$_.Age.TotalHours -le 1\\} |
 %\\{$_.OriginalFullName\\}

# Restore all .zip files without overwriting
# newer files with the same names.
Get-Recycled | ?\\{$_.Extension -eq ".zip"\\} |
 %\\{Move-Item $_ $_.OriginalFullName\\}

# Restore all .zip files, overwriting
# newer files if necessary.
Get-Recycled | ?\\{$_.Extension -eq ".zip"\\} |
 %\\{Move-Item $_ $_.OriginalFullName -Force\\}

You can download these sample commands, Get-Recycled.ps1, and EmptyRecycleBin.vbs by clicking the Download the Code Here button near the top of the page.

It's really funny to see how different cultures approach the whole eating spicy foods thing as well.
My boyfriend is from Hong Kong, and he always talks about how eating spicy foods is good for you if you live in a very wet area since it can help you get rid of the dampness in your body.
In fact, some doctors even recommend people to eat spicy foods if they have a cold to get all the excess "dampness" out of their bodies, and many people there recommend eating spicy foods in winter to get the coldness and dampness out.
Interesting to see how different cultures deal with the whole "why does your nose run when you eat spicy food" question, right?

Had the Rome 390s and loved them...so upgraded to the 390 boss and I love them more. No reason not get these, every reason to get them. Like I said, I'm on my second pair of these (first ones were still perfectly great just wanted to upgrade) and am already planning on my next binding being the same. Sick colorways also
A fantastic company
This is a general review of the Rome company. I bought my son, as set of Rome 390 bindings, on the recommendation of my younger son, who is considered by all who know him as an elite, deep powder back country, boarder. Long story short, the retailer was selling everything out and tricked me into 390, instead of boss, which is what I wanted, due to canting. They refused to exchange once I figured it out. I contacted Rome to inquire about the price and availability, of canted foot beds and if they would fit. I explained what happened at the dealer. Rome really stepped up, refused to take my money, and sent me a set of canted beds all for free, by purolator the very next morning. This is a class company, and it showed. My younger son was blown away, as he bought another hugely popular brand, and was concerned because a friend of his waited a whole season for a couple of defective broken parts from that other brand. The younger son said his next bindings will be Targa, which will be in the next year or 2 because he works and boards hard daily at the same hill.

This is simply the best binding I've ever owned. There are no gimmicks or wacky tech. Just a super solid binding that has tons of adjustability and feels great right out of the box. The straps are amazing. I barely even feel them when on my foot. The beauty of the 390 boss is the aluminum heel cup matched with the plastic baseplate. The aluminum gives you tremendous energy transfer and the baseplate gives you great board feel. The best of both worlds. On top of a great fit and function Rome now offers a LIFETIME Warranty on the entire binding. Not just the baseplates...everything.
