Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle. In eukaryotes, there are two distinct type of cell division: a vegetative division, whereby each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell (mitosis), and a reductive cell division, whereby the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half, to produce haploid gametes (meiosis). Both of these cell division cycles are in sexually reproducing organisms at some point in their life cycle, and both are believed to be present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor Prokaryotes also undergo a vegetative cell division known as binary fission, where their genetic material is segregated equally into two daughter cells. All cell divisions, regardless of organism, are preceded by a single round of DNA replication.
For simple unicellular organisms such as the amoeba, one cell division is equivalent to reproduction – an entire new organism is created. On a larger scale, mitotic cell division can create progeny from multicellular organisms, such as plants that grow from cuttings. Cell division also enables sexually reproducing organisms to develop from the one-celled zygote, which itself was produced by cell division from gametes. And after growth, cell division allows for continual construction and repair of the organism. A human being's body experiences about 10,000 trillion cell divisions in a lifetime.
The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication (replication). In cells without a nucleus (prokaryotic), the cell cycle occurs via a process termed binary fission. In cells with a nucleus (eukaryotes), the cell cycle can be divided in three periods: interphase—during which the cell grows, accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis and duplicating its DNA—and the mitotic (M) phase, during which the cell splits itself into two distinct cells, often called "daughter cells" and the final phase, cytokinesis, where the new cell is completely divided. The cell-division cycle is a vital process by which a single-celled fertilized egg develops into a mature organism, as well as the process by which hair, skin, blood cells, and some internal organs are renewed.
After cell division, each of the daughter cells begin the interphase of a new cycle. Although the various stages of interphase are not usually morphologically distinguishable, each phase of the cell cycle has a distinct set of specialized biochemical processes that prepare the cell for initiation of cell division.
The cell is the basic structural, functional and biological unit of all known living organisms. Cells are the smallest unit of life that can replicate independently, and are often called the "building blocks of life".
Cells consist of a protoplasm enclosed within a membrane, which contains many biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Organisms can be classified as unicellular (consisting of a single cell; including most bacteria) or multicellular (including plants and animals). While the number of cells in plants and animals varies from species to species, humans contain about 100 trillion (1014) cells. Most plant and animal cells are visible only under the microscope, with dimensions between 1 and 100 micrometres.
In embryology, cleavage is the division of cells in the early embryo. The zygotes of many species undergo rapid cell cycles with no significant growth, producing a cluster of cells the same size as the original zygote. The different cells derived from cleavage are called blastomeres and form a compact mass called the morula. Cleavage ends with the formation of the blastula.
Depending mostly on the amount of yolk in the egg, the cleavage can be holoblastic (total or entire cleavage) or meroblastic (partial cleavage). The pole of the egg with the highest concentration of yolk is referred to as the vegetal pole while the opposite is referred to as the animal pole.
In biology, fission occurs when a cell (or body, population, or species) divides into two or more parts and the regeneration of those parts into separate cells (bodies, populations, or species). Binary fission produces two separate cells, populations, species, etc., whereas multiple fission produces more than two cells, populations, species, etc.
An asymmetric cell division produces two daughter cells with different cellular fates. This is in contrast to normal, symmetric, cell divisions, which give rise to daughter cells of equivalent fates. Notably, stem cells divide asymmetrically to give rise to two distinct daughter cells: one copy of the original stem cell as well as a second daughter programmed to differentiate into a non-stem cell fate. (In times of growth or regeneration, stem cells can also divide symmetrically, to produce two identical copies of the original cell.)
In principle, there are two mechanisms by which distinct properties may be conferred on the daughters of a dividing cell. In one, the daughter cells are initially equivalent but a difference is induced by signaling between the cells, from surrounding cells, or from the precursor cell. This mechanism is known as extrinsic asymmetric cell division. In the second mechanism, the prospective daughter cells are inherently different at the time of division of the mother cell. Because this latter mechanism does not depend on interactions of cells with each other or with their environment, it must rely on intrinsic asymmetry. The term asymmetric cell division usually refers to such intrinsic asymmetric divisions
Cell division cycle 7-related protein kinase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CDC7 gene. The Cdc7 kinase is involved in regulation of the cell cycle at the point of chromosmal DNA replication. The gene CDC7 appears to be conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution; this means that most eukaryotic cells have the Cdc7 kinase protein.
The term cell growth is used in the contexts of cell development and cell division (reproduction). When used in the context of cell division, it refers to growth of cell populations, where one cell (the "mother cell") grows and divides to produce two "daughter cells" (M phase). When used in the context of cell development, the term refers to increase in cytoplasmic and organelle volume (G1 phase), as well as increase in genetic material before replication (G2 phase).
Cell biology (formerly cytology, from the Greek kytos, "contain") is a scientific discipline that studies cells – their physiological properties, their structure, the organelles they contain, interactions with their environment, their life cycle, division and death. This is done both on a microscopic and molecular level. Cell biology research encompasses both the great diversity of single-celled organisms like bacteria and protozoa, as well as the many specialized cells in multicellular organisms such as humans, plants, and sponges.
Knowing the components of cells and how cells work is fundamental to all biological sciences. Appreciating the similarities and differences between cell types is particularly important to the fields of cell and molecular biology as well as to biomedical fields such as cancer research and developmental biology. These fundamental similarities and differences provide a unifying theme, sometimes allowing the principles learned from studying one cell type to be extrapolated and generalized to other cell types. Therefore, research in cell biology is closely related to genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, and developmental biology.
A biological process is a process of a living organism. Biological processes are made up of any number of chemical reactions or other events that results in a transformation.
Regulation of biological processes occurs where any process is modulated in its frequency, rate or extent. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule.
Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms. Their distinctive features include:
Science of drugs including their origin, composition, pharmacokinetics,
pharmacodynamics, therapeutic use, and toxicology.
Pharmacology (from Greek φάρμακον, pharmakon, "poison" in classic Greek; "drug" in modern Greek; and -λογία, -logia "study of", "knowledge of") is the branch of medicine and biology concerned with the study of drug action, where a drug can be broadly defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous (within the body) molecule which exerts a biochemical and/or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism. More specifically, it is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function. If substances have medicinal properties, they are considered pharmaceuticals.

1stWorks' New Quantized Indexing Coding Algorithm To Be Presented at Data Compression Conference; Fast and Space-Efficient Form of Enumerative Coding Accepted for Discussion During Poster Session.
The 1stWorks Encoder encapsulates data compression technology based on the new Quantized Indexing algorithm developed by its Chief Scientist, Ratko Tomic. This new algorithm solves the four-decades-old problem of arithmetic precision in Enumerative Coding which has limited its use in general purpose compression, despite its theoretical optimality, to the specialized field of encoding CDs and DVDs.
"Simply put, the 1stWorks Encoder always compresses data to a smaller size than the very best research-level Entropy Coders, while simultaneously delivering a significant speed and power consumption advantage," said 1stWorks President Nigel Spicer. "We believe that this new algorithm genuinely represents an inflection point in general purpose data compression performance. Ten years from now, we expect applications incorporating the 1stWorks Encoder to be everywhere, from cell phones to set top boxes."
1stWorks is currently developing its own video codec based on the algorithm which will be incorporated into its hotComm suite of collaboration and conferencing solutions and will deliver significant improvements in the effective video frame rate.
The Quantized Indexing Research Kit, including source code for a sample implementation of the new algorithm, is available from 1stWorks, together with detailed Technical Reports, at www.1stworks.com/ref/qi.htm. The sample code can be used by knowledgeable developers to independently review its method of operation and to confirm the speed and compression efficiency made possible using the algorithm.
The Data Compression Conference, at which this new algorithm will be presented, is sponsored by Brandeis University, with the proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. It will be held from March 28-30 in Snowbird, Utah, with 1stWorks presenting at the Poster Session on March 29.

Thanks to all the staff there for making my experience there a comfortable and safe one. T brogren
5 out of 5 stars
Perfect Pout - Portland, OR
3 out of 5 stars Eyelid Surgery
Not What I Asked For... - Portland, OR
I thought I had chosen the best plastic surgeon in our area for natural and subtle upper and lower eyelid lifts. I had excess, drooping skin above my eyes, especially on one side. I also had the very beginnings of bags under my eyes. I asked for natural and conservative results. What I ended up with are neither subtle nor terribly aggressive but there is too much change for my taste. Also, the results are not very natural; I have a sort of surgical-looking outcome. Unfortunately I find the doctor's manner to be rather cold and intimidating so I have a hard time explaining how unsatisfied I am. When I have voiced concerns, she makes it clear she has no intention of trying to address any of my issues. I wouldn't trust her to attempt to surgically change anything anyway.
1 out of 5 stars Restylane
Restylane - Read Before Procedure
Later discover there is a simple injection to dissolve Restylane. Doctor didn't have that injection therefore did not use on me. Could have possibly save me scars under each eye.
1 out of 5 stars Breast Lift
Worst Cosmetic Surgeon - Portland, OR
She was rude. Accused me of not being mentally stable enough to make decisions simply because I was going through a divorce. She made excuses for her own mistakes instead if admitting to her failure and doing what was necessary to make it all right.

Professional athletes and referees have never gotten along too well, but an NHL legend is bringing this disagreement with an official to the next level. Former Philadelphia Flyer Eric Lindros is suing referee Paul Stewart for defamation of character after the ref's comments in an article for the Huffington Post. Early in the 1990′s, Stewart and Lindros had a disagreement during a game, which played into the controversial incident. Stewart claims that after the game, he approached the 19-year-old Lindros and asked him to sign some posters for a charity event. The referee claims Lindros ripped the posters in half, and proceeded to verbally assault him. The Flyer Captain has come out and defended himself, balking at the idea that he is unnecessarily hostile and not charitable. Lindros is seeking $250,000 from both Stewart and the Huffington Post for running the story. Read moreGoogle+

Up in Smoke: NY Sues UPS Over Cigarette Tax
The latest courtroom battle about cigarettes has nothing to do with damaged lungs, but rather a hole in the wallet. It recently came to light that shipping giant UPS failed to properly adhere to tax laws in New York City and State. This has resulted in 78,500 shipments of untaxed cigarettes being transported in and out of New York for about 4 years. UPS has denied these allegations, citing their past experience in the shipping industry and adherence to any and all state laws. The lawsuit was filed in New York by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Counsel Zachary Carter and is seeking about $180M in damages. Outright accusations of lying and cheating have been thrown out by both sides, understandable considering the hefty price tag attached. Read moreGoogle+
Trees Falling in Michigan, Still Making Sounds
There is an old philosophical argument that goes as follows: If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound? A recent lawsuit in Michigan is finally providing an answer: Yes. Residents of Bloomfield Hills, MI have taken up a class-action against tree removal by the power company DTE Energy. Reports say they hired a tree-trimming company to take trees down in a short period of time without giving notice to the community. The power company was worried about the trees interfering with cables they had been running in the area, and had petitioned to remove them. Clearly upset by the secretive manner in which DTE went about this deforestation, the people living in Bloomfield Hills are now seeking $54 million in restitution. Read moreGoogle+
Vanilla Extract Leads To DWI Charges
Those that are bound and determined to drink and drive can almost always find a way. Though most people think of trips to the local liquor store as a place to pick up supplies, the reality is that even a quick trip to the grocery outlet will suffice, if the intention is to find something with enough alcohol to get wasted.
As proof that there are lots of surprising things that can get a person drunk, a 46-year-old woman from Seneca Falls, New York was arrested last week and has since been charged with drunk driving after consuming, of all things, vanilla extract. According to police reports, the woman was spotted by officers driving erratically in a Walmart parking lot.
An officer then approached the car and began questioning the woman who admitted, almost immediately, that she had been drinking vanilla prior to getting behind the wheel. Officers say the woman explained how she had consumed two regular-sized bottles of pure vanilla extract not long before getting in her car. She soon became disoriented and was unable to navigate her way out of the Walmart parking lot. Read moreGoogle+
College Sued by Football Star's Accuser
The woman who brought a lawsuit against Florida State's quarterback is heading back to the courtroom. Citing a "hostile educational environment", the plaintiff became famous for accusing the college's athletic department for covering up rape allegations against Jameis Winston, the man under center for the Seminoles as they went undefeated in 2014. She cites Title IX, a civil rights law protecting the rights of all students under the Higher Education Amendment of 1972. The woman claims Winston, the 2013 Heisman Trophy Winner, sexually harassed her in 2012, but a case was never filed at the time. This latest lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida in Orlando.Google+

I'm reading the posts in this forum from the professionals... and I gotta tell you.... I'm not getting the same impression from the any of the A/C guys in my area!
They just don't sound as expert as those in this forum.
Is there a solid way for me to find a local A/C guy who understands the technical aspects of central A/C and heat?
I'm in Knoxville (east Tennessee)
I don't know if my situation is complex (how would I?).... but I am wanting to replace a noisy 15 yr old all-in-one a/c & gas unit with a split system.
This is an old house. There is a separate system for the upstairs, but I'm only concerning myself with the downstairs for now. The downstairs is about 1,000 sq ft.
It would just be delightful to have a real-deal a/c expert take a look at my place and give me some expert thoughts.
I rarely get that experience. Instead, I tend to get guys who say things that I know are simply not true ("heat pumps are effective down to 0 degrees")... and I'm a frig'n lay person!
Granted, I'm also thinking of getting some regular dudes to install a probably-appropriate American Standard 2.5 ton unit, too... and crossing my fingers. I did just get an estimate from one of the legit businesses in town, too... for a Trane XL 15i 2 ton, dual fuel, gas/heat pump.
Go the web site of the major manufacturers (Carrier/Bryant, Trane/American Standard, Rheem/Rudd) and search for factory authorized dealers within your zip code. Select dealers who are Nate certified. Out of curiosity I found some Carrier authorized dealers in the 37920 zip code.
Pick 3 contractors and schedule visits to your home. By the third visit you should get an idea who is competent and who is not. If they are all incompetent then keep calling. I suggest you stay within a brand family so that you can do an apples to apples comparison between contractors.
Mine is staying right here in Virginia.
I keep threatening to chain him to the floor.
He was a counter man for an HVAC parts distributor for a while (not enough 'real work' as he put it) and spent all day on the phone walking the other techs through their problems.
He started his own company when the market picked up and has enough work to hire additional techs, who he runs through the wronger before letting loose on his customers.
Behaviorkelton - try Angie's List. It has never steered me wrong, and I have used it to find several different kinds of contractors (masonry, windows, stone fabrication, appliance repair, electrician, and HVAC). I think the sign-up fee is $15, but Angie's List is offering holiday promo discounts for first-timers. Then they charge a monthly fee of, I think, $4.95, which you can stop at any time. Also, many of the contractors offer discount coupons for Angie's List members. The membership is SO worth it.

The full moon has been blamed for bringing on epileptic seizures, but researchers say that's not true. In a study published in 2004 in the journal Epilepsy and Behavior, researchers found that epileptic seizures were more common during the moon's last quarter, although they did not know why. Seizures not associated with epilepsy -- those with psychological causes or brought on by stress -- did seem to be more common during a full moon.

September launch pegged for Apple's 13" Retina MacBook Pro, new iMacA Retina display-toting 13-inch MacBook Pro is expected to join the recently-released 15-inch model sometime this September and may be accompanied by an iMac refresh, writes analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in a note shared with AppleInsider.
Rounding out the KGI analyst's forecast for the second half of 2012, Kuo expects Apple to bring a Retina display-resolution display to its 13-inch MacBook Pro line in September though demand may outweigh supply as components for the high-pixel density display are limited.
The reports is in line with two previous findings, both from online computer benchmarking sites (1, 2), that pointed to an unknown MacBook Pro fitting the description of a 13-inch Retina display model.
Kuo believes the device will be an attractive option to consumers looking to purchase the existing 13-inch MacBook Pro or MacBook Air due to the Retina display's high-quality image reproduction. The analyst also claims customers will be drawn to the balance of power consumption and form factor as well as the unit's price which should be somewhat similar to Apple's non-Retina MacBook Pro.
While the laptop is expected to do well at launch, Kuo thinks sales growth won't be meaningful as many consumers will gravitate toward iOS devices, especially so if Apple debuts a smaller, more affordable iPad in September. He goes on to say supply of the smaller high-resolution MacBook Pro will likely be constrained due to panel and assembly yield rates, a problem Apple is only now beginning to overcome with the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.
As for the iMac, Kuo believes a refreshed model could debut close to the end of September but qualifies the statement by saying indicators from the supply chain point to a later release. Shipments of Apple's desktop products will dip in July due to inventory adjustments but are expected to dramatically rise in August as the new iMac starts shipping out from factories.
Regarding Apple's overall financial outlook, Kuo sees zero growth across the line for Apple in the second quarter of 2012 on smartphone competition from Samsung, slow MacBook sales, a weakened global economy and the iPad's late entry into China. Quarter three of the calendar year will likely pick up, however, as new product launches are expected to lead moderate growth ahead of the lucrative holiday shopping season.

- Apple embarks on wave of new battery-related job hires, targets iOS improvements
- Apple's new MacBook employs unorthodox keyboard design to achieve maximum thinness

Or enter a different name completely. Note that that's not an apology. It's just something that will accomplish what you're trying to do. Once you enter a different title and no other songs have the same mistake then it won't present that suggestion. This behavior is still unacceptable.
The problem is that iTunes is autofilling what you're typing, but is using a list of all similar items(song names, artist names, et cetera, including the item you're trying to replace). It's fine to include a list of all similar items, but what's already there should not be a suggestion for what you're trying to enter there.
In Mission Control in System Preferences you can uncheck "Group windows by application" to get Exposé functionality back.

I'm not sure what it would mean. For all we know, maybe there's only one sentient being, and maybe they're reading this(or wrote it), and maybe they created this simulation and just don't remember doing so.
If the universe is a simulation, the fact that other bodies act in ways that approximate my own activities is not itself definitive proof of their consciousnesses. Or maybe some have consciousness but not all.

How long would it take for someone to walk from the southernmost tip of Africa to the southernmost tip of South America?
A long time, right? Has anyone done it?
But over generations, humans moved little-by-little, farther and farther out, and given a hundred thousand years or so, there were humans all over the face of this planet. It's not like one person left Africa and made the trip by themself in one day. No, but humans multiplied and spread out.
Given the universe's age, more billions of years old than we can comprehend, even if we can't bet on a traveler making a non-stop streak across the sky to our backyard, why is it unreasonable to assume that they might have learned to live in space, and might have moved further and further out, little-by-little, and that they could be within a lifetime's travel of Earth right now?
The fact that you're unlikely to meet some form of life from another planet is in no way an indication that you're unlikely to encounter something whose great great great* ancestor was from said other planet.
We're so busy searching for signs of life that we don't realize that a sufficiently capable civilization might be able to exist where such signs of life don't exist, in the same way that we can exist in a plane or on a submarine. For all we know, the first bacteria on Earth could have been scraped off of the "boot" of some interstellar traveler visiting the Earth as the cosmic equivalent of the Grand Canyon. They could have been nearby before we were even here.
And we're searching for intelligence, even though it's much more likely that we'd find simple life akin to bacteria? Has a scientist ever considered that if we do find bacteria and we set out in that direction, by the time any of us get there there might be intelligent life there? And has anyone ever considered that somewhere out there some extrasolar travelers might have made the same bet regarding Earth?
Because even though life has existed on this planet through 3.8 billion years you're pretty sure they'll only detect it and start heading this way within the next 100?

Presley pushes for small business rate incentives
Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley publicly encouraged four of Mississippi's major electric and gas utilities to extend Small Business Rate Incentives for another year. Incentives provided by Entergy Mississippi, Mississippi Power Company, CenterPoint Energy Resources and Wilmut Gas & Oil Company are set to expire December 31 Atmos Energy Corporation has a similar program expiring in September 2013.
Presley urged the utilities to continue the successful programs, which provide for reduced rates, waived security deposits and encouragement of development of vacant buildings, through the end of 2013.

The band was due to kick off the run of shows in Bremen, Germany on 26 July (13), but they have now axed the gigs due to Cassidy's injury. Reports suggest he is suffering from tendinitis, a condition which cases inflammation of the tendons. A statement from booking agency M.A.D. Tourbooking reads, "The guitar player of D.R.I. has huge problems with his finger, he can't bend it anymore, so he's unable to play guitar...

Method and means for connecting thin metal layers.
|563 - Abstract:
|The European Space Agency (ESA) is offering an innovative method for bonding two thin metal layers applied to flexible substrates. This connection is achieved by micro (hollow) rivets, providing a mechanical and electrical link through the use of modern laser technology. Previous attachment procedures such as welding, soldering or the use of adhesives carry many disadvantages require certain material properties that are unfeasible with flexible surfaces. This method is reliable and doesn't require large contact areas, effortlessly providing a mechanical and electrical bond. License agreement is sought.
Protected in this patent is a method to mechanically and electrically connect two thin metal layers. Specifically, this method is suitable for thin layers mounted on flexible substrates and was originally developed for the bonding of thin solar cells and flexible, film-reinforced contact strips.
Nowadays there is a big research effort going into solar cell technologies, embedded in the push for greener energy sources, as well as energy generation in remote areas, such as with spacecrafts. Thin-film solar cells are among the technologies being developed, and when combined with flexible substrates and circuit boards, the very interesting concept of flexible solar cells comes to mind. These have several advantages over rigid products, namely in their installation and eventual portability, however, present some technical challenges.
Understandably, a flexible solar cell would require an also flexible and consequently thin electrical conductor to deliver the produced energy to the end consumer. These requirement for the electrical wiring make traditional bonding techniques obsolete, as soldering and the use of contact adhesives require high contact areas or that the substrate presents sufficient mechanical rigidity to resist the high pressures on the surfaces during the bonding. The thermal resistance of the materials involved must also be taken into account, as soldering requires high temperatures that may be incompatible with flexible substrates.
Current laser technologies include the connection of metal parts through irradiation, soldering without any additional materials by melting and mixing the materials involved. It is with the application of pulse laser radiation that the inventor sought to overcome previous hurdles. The protected process enables the micro riveting of thin layers and films, therefore enabling the mechanic and electrical connection of the materials involved. This method is suitable for flexible substrates, requiring little space and avoiding the requirements for special and complex materials and surfaces.
The hollow riveting process is preceded by some surface treatment steps, namely the removing of extra layers above the thin-film that is to be bonded. These are also laser based, a positive feature, since it eschews the need for different machinery and setups for the connection procedure. The strength of the bond can be easily controlled through the number of rivets, as the process allows the simultaneous multiple riveting.
Innovations and advantages
This invention provides a clear advantage over prior art, solving a bonding issue on thin-film solar cells mounted on flexible substrates. Although this was its envisioned application when being developed for ESA, this technology is applicable to a much broader spectrum of fields of expertise.
By providing a solid, robust, simple and relatively small attachment method, hollow riveting removes the need for high technical, procedural and technological efforts, special materials or surfaces when considering the bonding of two metal films.
Domains of application
Any industry dealing with thin-films of metals that require the bonding of said materials would be highly benefited by the knowledge contain in this patent. For example purposes the flexible solar cell market is mentioned, but the applicability of the invention is not restricted to this.

The view from the top was unreal, and we couldn't of gone at a better time. We got to see the Eiffel tower during the day, watch the sunset from the top, and see it all lit up after from the bottom.

The Excel 2011 on my Mac was close enough to PC 2013 so the Excel assignments I submitted only had minimal point reductions from the auto grader. Whew. And I was getting 100% on all the tests so it was really just the project scores I was worrying about. No biggie.

... Belgian arrived at the same bus stop. He was kind enough to inform us that no bus would come to our stop on Monday morning. The closest stop, he told us, would be in Markt. With a 6:25 train to Paris to catch, we couldn't loiter around. We started sprinting through the tiny Brugge streets! It was fun to have every tourist corner to ourselves, but we were in such a rush it was hard to stop and look around. We arrived in Markt, laughing and out of breath ...

add to this intelligent people who are bad contrarians, as we can currently observe on the prominent economics blog, which started the whole contrarianism debate.
I actually don't think that most prominent pundits are contrarians - I just know the NYT line-up well, and I don't think any of their commentators is a true contrarian. David Brooks has his contrarian moments, but I think that's more because he's a consistent conservative rather than a movement conservative. In that context I think you can see three strategies to seem smart - all of which require some degree of being smart:
1. You're a great writer (Gail Collins, and to some extent Tom Friedman and MoDo)
2. You know quite a bit about a lot of things (David Brooks, also true for Tyler Cowen over at MR)
3. You know a huge amount about one thing (Paul Krugman)
The only very prominent contrarian commentator I can think of is Christopher Hitchens, and he comes across as intelligent because he's such a damn good writer (the British accent doesn't hurt either) and not because of his contrarian ideas, some of which are really annoying.
