Salt Pool and a Tough Plant | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] | |||
Rains can temporarily fill depressions in the salt flats, which are the remains of an ancient lake that evaporated long ago, leaving salt and other minerals behind. In the background (upper right) is the mighty Panamint Range, whose prominence over Death Valley is one of the main reasons the valley is one of the hottest and driest places on the planet. These salt flats are near Mustard Canyon, close to the northern end of the great salt pan of Death Valley. Death Valley NP, CA-- March 2008 | Image Data

A Maltipoo Plunges 15 Stories Down a High-Rise and Survives
Susie, a four-year-old Maltipoo, had a wild ride down a Fort Lauderdale high-rise Friday evening. The night started innocently enough; Susie and her owner Elaine Caralis, who live in the building, decided to visit a friend on the 16th floor. Once welcomed inside, Susie noticed a scent. She followed it through the apartment into an open closet. Then things went very bad, according to CNN.
"(Susie) walked into the closet and fell down into the exhaust shaft," said Caralis.
Down she went, one floor, two floors, three floors ... all the way down, a little dog tumbling down a dark, narrow exhaust vent. She finally stopped at the second floor.
Caralis expected the worst, and she called 911. Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue showed up and located the dog, who had come to rest on a piece of concrete in the shaft near the second floor. Everyone was shocked that the dog was conscious.
"I thought she died, but I was calling her from the wall and she was barking, so I knew she was alive," said Caralis.
Yet nobody knew how hurt she was. The crew cut holes above and below the second floor to try and free the dog. Timothy Heiser of Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue said the crew "eventually managed to get close enough to the pup to remove her from the shaft before she could fall any further."
Susie had been stuck in the shaft for three hours. A waiting ambulance rushed her to Oakland Park Animal Hospital. Caralis and the vets feared the worst.
"I'm thinking 15 stories, there are going to be multiple fractures, severe internal injuries or worse," said the emergency vet who treated her, Dr. Spencer L. Ratnoff. "I was worried she might need to be euthanized."
But that wasn't the case. Susie had no internal bleeding, no broken bones, just serious bruising.
Ratnoff called it a "miracle" -- two times, in fact. Once for surviving the fall in the first place, and another for coming away relatively unscathed. She is expected to make a full, quick recovery.
"I don't have children," Caralis told CNN, "so Susie is my life, Susie is my family. They treated it like they were searching for a human being."

Flemington, NJ, January 25, 2010 – A new media study among 301 viewers of a new video for the animal rights group, PETA, revealed that the majority of viewers (69%) indicated that video was somewhat offensive or inappropriate.
The study was conducted during January 22-25 by HCD Research using its MediaCurves.com® website, to obtain viewers' perceptions of a new PETA Video in which adult entertainment star Sasha Grey supports the group's new ad campaign, "Too much sex can be a bad thing." To view detailed results go to: www.mediacurves.com.
Viewers were split on the effectiveness of the video, with 52% indicating that the video was not at all effective, 37% indicating that it was somewhat effective, and 11% indicating that the video was extremely effective. Viewers' perception of the PETA organization declined after viewing the video with 9% rating PETA as "extremely unfavorable" before the video and 17% rating PETA as "extremely unfavorable" after the video.
"Our automated response curves revealed that interest levels among male and female viewers were similar in the beginning of the video, but women's interest levels began to quickly decline once scantily clad images of Sasha Grey were shown," commented Glenn Kessler, president and CEO, HCD Research.
Among the findings:
Did you find this PETA advertisement to be offensive or inappropriate?

Yes |
38% |
Somewhat |
31% |
No |
32% |
Overall, how effective do you think this PETA advertisement was?

Connoisseurs of democratic decadence can savor a variety of contemporary dystopias. Because familiarity breeds banality, Greece has become a boring horror. Japan, however, in its second generation of stagnation is fascinating. Once, Japan bestrode the world, jauntily buying Rockefeller Center and Pebble Beach. Now Japanese buy more adult diapers than those for infants.
America has its lowest birth rate since at least 1920 — family formation and workforce participation (which hit a 30-year low last year) have declined in tandem. But it has an energy surplus, the government-produced overhang of housing inventory is shrinking and the average age of Americans' cars is an astonishing 10.8 years. Such promising economic indicators, however, mask the country's democratic decadence, as explained by the Hudson Institute's Christopher DeMuth in the Dec. 24 Weekly Standard:
Deficit spending once was largely for investments — building infrastructure, winning wars — which benefited future generations, so government borrowing appropriately shared the burden with those generations. Now, however, continuous borrowing burdens future generations in order to finance current consumption. Today's policy, says DeMuth, erases "the distinction between investing for the future and borrowing from the future."

Fourth-order oriented partial-differential equations for noise removal of two-photon fluorescence images
Optics Letters, Vol. 35, Issue 17, pp. 2943-2945 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (361 KB)
We derive the fourth-order oriented partial-differential equations (PDEs) for noise removal of two-photon fluorescence images. We consider it from two aspects: one is based on a variational method; the other is based on controlling the diffusion direction. Our filtering model makes the diffusion along only the special orientation—decided via all the information in the established filtering window, so the edges are protected during filtering. Compared with related PDEs models, our model shows superior performance in terms of both objective criteria and subjective human vision via processing simulated and experimental noisy images.

Approximate and online multi-issue negotiation.
Fatima, S.S., Wooldridge, M. and Jennings, N. R. (2007) Approximate and online multi-issue negotiation. In, 6th International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-agent Systems., Hawaii, USA, , 947-954.
Download (112Kb) |
This paper analyzes bilateral multi-issue negotiation between self interested autonomous agents. The agents have time constraints in the form of both deadlines and discount factors. There are m > 1 issues for negotiation where each issue is viewed as a pie of size one. The issues are "indivisible" (i.e., individual issues cannot be split between the parties; each issue must be allocated in its entirety to either agent). Here different agents value different issues differently. Thus, the problem is for the agents to decide how to allocate the issues between themselves so as to maximize their individual utilities. For such negotiations, we first obtain the equilibrium strategies for the case where the issues for negotiation are known a priori to the parties. Then, we analyse their time complexity and show that finding the equilibrium offers is an NP-hard problem, even in a complete information setting. In order to overcome this computational complexity, we then present negotiation strategies that are approximately optimal but computationally efficient, and show that they form an equilibrium. We also analyze the relative error (i.e., the difference between the true optimum and the approximate). The time complexity of the approximate equilibrium strategies is O(nm=2) where n is the negotiation deadline and the relative error. Finally, we extend the analysis to online negotiation where different issues become available at different time points and the agents are uncertain about their valuations for these issues. Specifically, we show that an approximate equilibrium exists for online negotiation and show that the expected difference between the optimum and the approximate is O(pm) . These approximate strategies also have polynomial time complexity.

Quantum heaps
I introduced quantum heaps in Spring 2001, and they entered as a side-topic (Chapter 9 only) in my thesis. They were rediscovered by Grunspan in 2002 what spurred lots of activity and publications, but unfortunately nobody did refer nor use my work till the publication of my 2007 remake above.

Other scientific topics
With my student M. Bašić, I work on a programme of finding the integration objects for Leibniz algebras, which could be called Leibniz groups. Here is a manifesto:
Not included in this manifesto is a discussion of the internal Weyl algebra in the Loday-Pirashvili category which is in the rector prize work of Bašić under my guidance. Also there is my manuscript on certain bialgebras in LP category (roughly speaking).
G. Sharygin and I started to write about unfinished research with tentative title
The PBW isomorphism is not a coalgebra map in the case of algebroids, that is why the correction. We studied this subject at MPIM Bonn in Spring 2010, then a week at IHES in late November 2010 and talked much via skype in April and should continue these days.
In future, I would like to work closer to the BV-quantization program which is now being better geometrically understood.

Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could convince the world to love jumpsuits as much as he does. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.
Follow Randball on Twitter
It's Friday afternoon. It's beautiful outside. But if you're sticking with us, this is your reward: The Associated Press (Bill Haber) moved a photo earlier today that caught our eye. What exactly is going on there? Well, let the caption information sent by the helpful shooter be your guide:
New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey catches a pass while standing in a portable toilet during a drill at NFL football training camp in Metairie, La., Friday. The Saints tight ends were conducting a pass catching drill by standing in the portable toilet with the door closed when a pass was thrown, and then at the last second the the door was opened so they could catch the ball.
We have no idea whose idea this was. We have to imagine there is a better way to work on last-second ball awareness. But we can't imagine there's a funnier way. And we'd hate to be the guy explaining to people that HIS JOB is to swing a portable toilet door open at just the right moment so millionaires can catch a football. But we digress.
This photo begs for a RandBall photo caption contest. We'll take the simple but double-meaningful, "Super Bowl Champs." Now we suppose it's the race to No. 2 (sorry) in the comments.

ABSTRACT: : To evaluate the incidence of retinal redetachment after the removal of silicone oil endotamponade for complicated retinal detachment and identify possible factors affecting outcome. : This is a retrospective review of 173 patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade for complex retinal detachment and subsequent removal of silicone oil (ROSO). The outcome factors studied included anatomical success, best-corrected visual acuity and intraocular pressure pre- and post-ROSO. : Anatomical success was achieved in 167 of the 173 eyes (96.5%) after ROSO. The mean duration of silicone oil tamponade was 70 ± 48 weeks (median, 56 weeks; mode, 48 weeks). The cause for primary retinal detachment was proliferative diabetic retinopathy in 36 (20.8%) and proliferative vitreoretinopathy in 137 of 173 cases (79.2%). Best-corrected visual acuity of greater than 20/100 was achieved in 83 cases (49.4%) at 3 months after ROSO. Levene's test for equality of variances was used to determine the association between previous unsuccessful retinal surgeries and redetachment (P = 0.523) and between duration of endotamponade and anatomical success (P = 0.451). : The incidence of retinal redetachment after ROSO in our study was 3.46%. Aggressive removal of the vitreous base, performing retinotomies, ensuring complete silicone oil filling for adequate tamponade, and argon retinopexy can lead to low complication rates and improved outcomes.Retina (Philadelphia, Pa.) 05/2012; 32(10):2034-8.

While many are rejoicing summer's eventual arrival in the Wakatipu, with cloudless days for almost two weeks, the rising mercury means water restrictions are in place for those on the Lake Hayes Scheme.
Queenstown Lakes District Council 3 waters operations engineer Martin Ellis said a "sudden increase" in water demand on the Lake Hayes Scheme water supply had resulted in the council asking residents to conserve water.
Mr Ellis said the council on Tuesday received notice the reservoir was near "low levels".
Use peaked overnight on Monday, with the reservoir losing water at a rate of 10% per hour between dusk and 3am, suggesting irrigation as the main cause.
It was restored to 85% on Tuesday morning, but Mr Ellis said the council had to retain 30% of the capacity in the reservoir at all times for firefighting.
The council would have no option but to impose a water ban on the supply if levels continued dropping towards the minimum required firefighting capacity.
"We would ask that people restrict irrigating to hand-held watering and water between the hours of 7pm and 7am, but not leave taps running overnight," he said.
Irrigation via a single standard hose connection (12mm hose) to a portable sprinkler or equivalent domestic fixed irrigation system (single-hose capacity) was fine for short periods, but using a commercial K-line system or any other high-capacity sprinkler would put too much of a drain on the system.
"Once again, the council intends to continue to work with high-end users to ensure this does not impose an unreasonable burden on all other Lake Hayes users, particularly at this time of year."
A letter outlining the situation was sent to residents yesterday.
Conserving water
- Residents can still water gardens using hand-held hoses and domestic sprinklers for periods of no more than an hour. - Residents asked to water after 7pm or before 7am and to avoid "excessive watering", i.e. pooling or running into the gutter or footpaths. - Residents asked to conserve water in homes by reducing shower time, recycling "grey water" (washing water etc) for watering plants, using a bucket when washing vehicles, optimising clothes washer and dishwasher use, avoiding leaving taps running.

Winchester, Jonathan and Quayle, Stephen (2009) Torque ripple and variable blade force: A comparison of Darrieus and Gorlov-type turbines for tidal stream energy conversion. In: 8th European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference, 2009-09-072009-09-10, Uppsala, Sweden.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
There are two main types of lift driven vertical axis turbine which can be used for capturing energy from tidal streams. These are the straight bladed "Darrieus-type" and the helically shaped "Gorlov-type". The Darrieus-type turbine can suffer from vibrations in the shaft due to torque variations, known as "torque ripple". Gorlov-type turbines ought to reduce this problem but suffer from variations in force distribution along the length of turbine blade. The double multiple streamtube model (a blade element momentum model), with the Gormont-Berg adaptation for dynamic stall, is used to analyse the blade forces and shaft torques. The results show the extent to which torque ripple or variable blade force is effected by various other design choices, such as blade thickness, blade camber or turbine solidity. From these some of the requisite turbine characteristics are derived.

Syntax Error was compiled in conjunction with the themed section on Failure featured in issue 7 of Cabinet. 1 WILLIAM SAFIRE, "IN CASE OF MOON DISASTER" (1:38) William Safire penned this speech in 1969 for Richard Nixon in the event that the two astronauts landing on the moon had to be abandoned there. Nixon impersonator: Jon Dryden 2 YASUNAO TONE, "WOUNDED MAN'YO AT LOVEBYTES" (5:23) "In the fall of 1984, after reading a chapter on digital recording in a Japanese book, I wondered if it was possible to override the error-correcting system of a CD player. If so, I could make totally new music out of a 'ready-made' CD. I began by simply making pinholes on a bit of Scotch tape, which I stuck to the bottom of a CD. The Scotch tape not only changed the pitch and timbre, but also the speed and the direction of the spinning disc. To my surprise, the 'prepared CD' seldom repeated the same sound when I played it again, and it was very hard to control. The machine's behavior was very unstable and totally unpredictable; I therefore thought it would be perfect for performance. Solo for Wounded CD uses my album Musica Iconologos (1993) made with the same technique. It produced sound waves that were so mercilessly distorted that the original could not be recognized. The related piece for Cabinet is part of a CD-ROM project called Musica Simulacra, based on the 8th-century Japanese poetry anthology Man'yo-shu, and will ultimately consist of 4,516 pieces." Live performance recorded on 16 March 2002 at Lovebytes Digital Art Festival, Sheffield, UK. 3 ANDREW DEUTSCH, "ZERBROCHEN BEWEGUNG TOMATO" (5:47) "'Zerbrochen Bewegung (electro-mechanical loops)' is a series of sound works constructed using broken music boxes. My interest in these works first developed out of experiments with analog tape loops that later extended to music boxes. Music boxes are mechanical loops set into motion via spring compression and consequently have the character of 'winding down' as they play. This compositional unfolding is most delightful as it destroys the often gebrauchsmusik quality of music box melodies. To further destroy this 'music of the home,' I explored the possibilities of working exclusively with broken music boxes as their melodic structures would be 'readymade destroyed.' Additional deconstructions were performed with electronics such as vocoders and ring modulators." Produced in 2002 at the Institute for Electronic Arts, Alfred, New York. 4 CHRISTOF MIGONE, "FADO" (5:49) "My Portuguese neighbors in Montreal often fought. It seemed that their relationship was in a permanent state of breakdown, with episodic flares announcing and confirming it to the neighborhood. As this fight got louder, I got my video camera out in the kitchen where they could be heard the loudest, the video focused on an aloe plant on the table and the microphone eavesdropping on the downstairs commotion. The visuals are peaceful and oblivious to the sound. The sound witnesses the failure in progress. This incident ended with the police taking the man away." Recorded in the summer of 2001. All sounds based on the original recording. Arranged in Brooklyn, March 2002. 5 DOUG HENDERSON, "SODAPOP" (5:59) A protest piece of sorts produced in 2002, Sodapop is a vehicle in which a "voice of America"—the Coke machine—is inveigled to "sing" against itself, its rhythms of "ka-ching" and consumerist fantasy forced to fail. The vérité dripping sounds, clashes of metal on glass, and burbling of carbonated release are juxtaposed with sound effects (receding footsteps, guttural vocalizations, muffled fisticuffs) lifted from the little-known Cold War-era radio program Reality Versus the Thing, a science-fiction/whodunit that aired for only three episodes in 1953. 6 CLAUDE WAMPLER, "LIFE IS LONG XAVIER LEROI" (2:39) "To be listened to while lying on your back, weight distributed onto your shoulders with your hips in the air, legs over your head and knees resting on the floor on either side of your ears, eyes gazing at your crotch." An excerpt from the soundtrack of Present Absence, a piece by Claude Wampler, with sound by Christof Migone. Recorded in 2001. 7 ANDREW DEUTSCH, "ZERBROCHEN BEWEGUNG KLING KLANG" (4:22) See liner notes for track no. 3. 8 PETER LEW, "NO!" (1:48) Homer Simpson's endless wonder at the world failing to meet his expectations, put to song. Produced in 2002. 9 PAULINE OLIVEROS, "UNTITLED (FAILURE 1)" (5:18) "My procedure in making electronic music in the 1960s was my own invention, predating synthesizers and mixers. I used oscillators set above 30kHz to generate combination tones and tape delay. This had a delightful instability caused by the bias of the tape recording machine and the non-linearity of the system. I improvised all my pieces, using this system and reacting instantaneously to the sounds that occurred. There was always the possibility of failure (and success). The risk gave the music an exciting edge." Recorded in 1966 at Mills Tape Music Center, Mills College, California. Produced with support from the Pauline Oliveros Foundation (www.pofinc.org). 10 ANDREW DEUTSCH, "ZERBROCHEN BEWEGUNG BUGS" (1:32) See liner notes for track no. 3. 11 M. BEHRENS AND TOBIAS SCHMITT, "CHAIR" (2:27) In this piece, made in 2002, the sound of a creaking studio chair is used, accompanied by voice and the rustling of some piezoceramic transducers in M. Behrens's trouser pockets. Tobias Schmitt modulates the sounds with digital delay and modular synthesizer. The focus falls less on the inherent automatism of digital machines than on generating glitches and failure by themselves. Schmitt/Behrens concentrate on instant compositions derived from different media for each piece. Tobias Schmitt: www.acrylnimbus.de M. Behrens: www.mbehrens.com 12 DOUG HENDERSON, "LBS/SQ IN." (3:07) The title refers to sonic distortion caused by submarine pressure upon the recording equipment (of a strictly non-oceanographic grade) with which this mini-submersible was mounted. Trolling in the feeding grounds of the Minke whale off Cape Cod, the small vessel was repeatedly butted, nosed (and, it appears, unsuccessfully courted) by a young male Minke, whose increasingly confused signals were imperfectly picked up by the device. Note the motif of a "boinging" antenna, and approximately five seconds of dead airtime, both caused by the overzealous attentions of our frustrated pelagic friend. Produced in 2002. 13 ANDREW DEUTSCH, "ZERBROCHEN BEWEGUNG GARDEN" (5:48) See liner notes for track no. 3. 14 GEORGE M. COHAN, "YOU'RE A GRAND OLD RAG" (2:18) A rare Edison cylinder recorded before Cohan changed the lyric "Rag" to "Flag" (see Scott Sandage's article on patriotism in this issue of Cabinet for details). Sung by Billy Murray, this topped the charts for 11 weeks to become the best-selling record of 1906. Thanks to Scott Sandage.

Last August, an article I published on DailyFinance highlighted that something seemed amiss with two international banking giants headquartered in Spain: Banco Santander (STD) and Banco Bilbao (BBVA) were buying up foreign banks, even as conditions in their home country worsened dramatically. Instead of buckling down to face an inevitable spike in loan losses on existing business, the banks expanded their balance sheets through acquisitions and became more leveraged.
But after a string of relatively benign months for equity markets, investors have recently grown skeptical of these two companies and sent shares down sharply. Santander shares have dropped 17% since the end of August, and Banco Bilbao shares are off 26% over the same period.These stock price declines come on the heels of earnings releases from the banks, both of which made special "one-time" loss provisions of nearly $3.5 billion in addition to their regular provisions. Banco Bilbao said its special provision was primarily driven by a reevaluation of loans to real estate developers and consumers in Spain and Portugal, while Santander's special provision was described as taking advantage of one-time earnings gains to generally strengthen the company's balance sheet.
All Is Not Well
As the big share-price sell-offs might indicate, Spanish banks still have plenty of question marks surrounding their ability to handle unemployment approaching 20% in Spain. Despite what management teams try to depict using selected data and charts, all is not well. At Banco Bilbao, growth in nonperforming assets (NPAs) more than doubled on a quarter-over-quarter basis. The big jump in NPAs for Banco Bilbao in Spain and Portugal should lead investors to ask whether Santander is being equally judicious in assessing the likelihood of repayment.
Because NPAs include nonperforming loans (NPLs) as well as other assets like repossessed real estate, NPA numbers will be higher than NPL numbers alone. Banco Bilbao talks about NPAs in its reports, while Santander focuses on NPLs. Looking deeper into Banco Bilbao's reporting reveals that the difference between its NPAs and its NPLs is essentially negligible. However, comparing those results with Santander's reported troubled loan book shows a fairly sharp divide in several regions where both banks have operations.
In Mexico, Spain and Portugal, Santander's NPLs are strikingly lower than Banco Bilbao's NPAs (which, remember, roughly equate to NPLs per that bank's breakdown of the numbers). Given that both banks are market leaders, the law of large numbers would suggest that the outcomes of their loans will be roughly equal over time. The increase in loss reserves by Banco Bilbao, then, could be a sign that Santander has not fully dealt with its bad loans -- which could mean another multibillion dollar hit to management's optimistic earnings targets.
"They Have No Idea"
Of course, banking executives aren't the only people in Spain beset by optimism in the face of a potential bout of deflation. The phenomenon actually is gripping the entire country, as has been clearly described by Edward Hugh. Spain's version of the consumer confidence index is being strongly buoyed by its "expectations" component, which is close to an all-time high, even as factors like "unemployment" and "current situation" remain depressed.
Hugh writes: "My contention is not that there is anything wrong with this finding, but rather that this is how Spanish people actually think at the present time. They have no idea of the actual economic reality, or of what the future has in store for them. They are virtually being kept in the dark. This is the worrying part, and I fear that all this may well now end badly, very very badly."
Spain's banks have been racing to diversify abroad, and the market's actions suggest their problems are growing increasingly severe. While Greece is attracting the largest share of worried attention regarding developed national debt issues, Spain is close behind. And with two banks having market capitalizations totaling $150 billion and significant exposure to the Spanish consumer and real estate, this situation could be even more difficult to digest.

review by Charlie Derry Pro
Batman Begins 2005
Charlie Derry's review:
Finally a Batman trilogy that I can fully enjoy. Nolan does an excellent job of making the franchise his own, and Bale is a fantastic Batman. Cillian Murphy is a superb villain, too, creating a real sense of darkness to this Batman universe that Nolan has created. It was always obvious that it could only get better from here.

Phosph-Akt1 expression is associated with a favourable prognosis in pancreatic cancer. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 20697673 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
INTRODUCTION: Akt, a serine/threonine protein kinase, mediates growth factor-associated cell survival. In several human cancers, including pancreatic cancer, constitutive activation of Akt (phosphorylated Akt, p-Akt) has been observed and may be associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy resistance. However, there are contradictory viewpoints in p-Akt in pancreatic cancer on prognosis, and the clinical relevance of p-Akt in pancreatic cancer is not well understood. This study aims to investigate the expressions and relevance of Akt and p-Akt1 in pancreatic cancer tissues and their clinical significance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The expressions of Akt and p-Akt in 74 surgically resected paraffin-embedded pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma samples and 10 normal pancreatic tissue samples were examined by immunohistochemistry. The associations of their expression with clinicopathological and survival data were analysed. RESULTS: The positive expression rate of Akt and p-Akt1 were 87.8% and 83.8%, respectively, which were remarkably higher then those in normal pancreatic tissue (P <0.05). There was a positive correlation between the expression of Akt and p-Akt1. High p-Akt1 expression correlated with lower T stage (P = 0.004), while Akt was not associated with any clinicopathologic variables. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that higher expression of Akt, p-Akt1 were respectively correlated with favourable prognosis (16.0[4.7-27.3] vs 9.3[9.0-9.6] months, P = 0.007, and 23.0[12.2-33.8] vs 11.1[7.5-14.7] months, P = 0.004, respectively). Multivariate analysis identified p-Akt1 as a significant independent favourable prognostic factor (HR=0.421, P = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that high p-Akt1 expression may be a favourable prognostic factor in pancreatic cancer. |

Masters of Horror: "Sounds Like"
Season 2, Episode 4
Directed By: Brad Anderson
Brad Anderson follows his superior SESSION 9 and THE MACHINIST with an excellent contribution to the Masters of Horror series, cementing himself as a director worthy of the title. Chris Bauer's cold, emotionless features make his character slightly less than human, emphasizing his detachment from reality and from those around him. His worsening auditory condition mirrors his descent into a deepening psychosis brought on by the death of his child and pressures at work. Anderson's representation of Larry's condition is a brilliant appeal to each of the senses, marrying his auditory and visual stylism with a technical skill that reaches towards Mario Bava's work in The Drop of Water. The clever foreshadowing expressed through Larry's phone screening at work along with subtle audible clues lead to a satisfying end, although the final act feels like it has been stretched out to meet the run time. SOUNDS LIKE is a strictly character driven effort that is sure to appeal to the intellectual Horror crowd.
Rating: 9/10.

I haven't seen very many of the season two Master's of Horror episodes, but I have heard bad things about them. Though, I have heard bad things about the first season, and I liked most of those, so whatever that says. I will have to check this one out...it's on instant watch if I remember correctly. I love character driven movies, so thanks for pointing this one out Carl!

Prof. Philip Bucksbaum at UMichigan claims to have found

stored and retrieved 8-bit data. Theoretically, this
quantum-phase data storage could store any amount of data
in just one electron (much as a voltage level can encode
any number of bits, in theory). [EE Times Carver Mead's microchip company, Foveon (Santa Clara),

Its 4,096 x 4,096 pixels per square inch (16.8 megapixels)
matches a recently announced Kodak CCD chip, but the process is
so cheap that consumer video cameras might sell for less than
$100. From such developments, industry analyst Alexis Gerard
foresees "a shift from a text-based communication model
to an image-based model." [NY Times Iowa State U. has a new 3D virtual reality theater

friction, and simple mechanical motions. It was told to evolve
a mechanism capable of moving on a flat surface, along with
a control program that would direct that motion. Designs were
sent to a prototyping machine to actually build the mechanism,
with human help installing a motor and a microchip carrying
downloaded instructions. One device moved like an accordion,
another like a crab. Better models will likely emerge when there
is feedback to tell the design program how successful it has been.

Menomonee Falls - The Menomonee Falls School District is researching ways to become more energy efficient in an effort to save money in the long run.
With the help of McKinstry, an energy savings company that works predominantly in school districts across the United States, key areas in district buildings were identified that could use an energy boost. McKinstry consultant Nick Laubusch presented his findings from his walk-through of the buildings to the Finance and Auxiliary Services Committee last week. He identified North Middle School as the district's least energy efficient building in need of the most work.
The board's 2012-2013 preliminary budget approval includes the use of energy savings revenue to be utilized in funding energy saving facility improvement projects in the amount of $325,000.
For one year only in the 2012-2013 school year, school districts also have an opportunity to use an energy savings revenue exemption set by the state to fund those projects. According to Business Manager Jeff Gross the legislation allows school districts to issue bonds to help pay for large energy saving projects and utilize the revenue exemption in order to pay down the related debt issuance for up to 20 years.
Any bond issuance is subject to petition by voters.
As part of the legislation, in order to qualify for the exemption, the legislation requires that the energy savings is guaranteed by a certified engineering firm.
The finance committee last week approved moving forward with a detailed engineering study conducted by McKinstry to determine the amount of energy savings that can be guaranteed with possible facility improvement projects.
"To do any revenue limit exemption, we need a guarantee of results to make sure we didn't spend money without getting results," Gross said.
In total, Laubusch said the initial walk-through identified at the most $1.5 million worth of projects the district may be able to tackle to save energy. The project cost will be finalized in the detailed study, as well as the exact amount of energy savings.
Every year, the school board would have to vote to exceed the revenue limit to pay off the debt accrued through energy projects, or use instructional funds.
"The payment of the bond issue would come out of energy savings and each year the board has the option to take it out of the capital plan or exceed the revenue limits," Gross said.
In the initial review of the district, Laubusch said Menomonee Falls is already highly efficient in energy uses. His main focus was North Middle School. As an older building, the middle school's energy costs are about 10 percent higher than other buildings. To mitigate this, he is suggesting work on lighting, the boiler, air handler and an HVAC control in the gym.
In his walk-through, Laubusch also saw potential need for a swimming pool cover, lighting work at Shady Lane Elementary and a control upgrade at Valley View Elementary School.
The annual utility savings and operational savings estimate is $78,000. The anticipated initial tax credits and utility rebates total $24,500.
The project details and exact costs and savings will be finalized during the detailed study and brought to the school board in August for discussion.

Alyssa DeRichie scored a career-high 18 points, but East Stroudsburg's late run led the Warriors to a 66-59 PSAC East victory at Decker Gymnasium Wednesday night.
DeRichie connected on five-of-eight field goals and was a perfect eight-of-eight from the free throw line to lead the Mountaineers in scoring.
The sophomore was just one rebound shy of her first career double-double, finishing the game with nine boards. She also added four steals, three blocks and three steals.
Sophomore Megan McSwain was just one point shy of her career high with 14 points. McSwain added five boards, four assists, and three steals in the loss.
Freshman Katie Fitzpatrick chipped in nine points.
East Stroudsburg's Ryann Fiasckie led three players in double-figure scoring with 14 points. Jessica Martin netted 13 points while Kelsey Murray came off the bench to score 10 points.
East Stroudsburg led for the first 16 minutes of the game, holding as much as a seven-point advantage, until Mansfield went on a 13-2 run to lead by seven points with 2:40 left in the half.
The Warriors hit two straight buckets to close their deficit to 27-25 at halftime.
After four lead changes in the first 10 minutes of the second half, Mansfield held a three-point lead with 9:51 remaining in the game.
However, The Warriors went on what proved to be a decisive 15-0 run over a five-minute span to take a 55-44 advantage with 5:20 left to play.
Mansfield closed within six points of East Stroudsburg two different times, but couldn't pull any closer. The Mountaineers fall to 4-10 overall with a 2-8 mark in the PSAC.
It marks Mansfield's second straight loss of just seven points or fewer.
The Mounties travel to Shippensburg this Saturday for a 1 p.m. tip-off.

They Might Be Giants--and what are we gonna do unless they are?
By Adam Cotton
'We definitely are kind of hooked on melody, and enjoy the power of a focused, short song," says John Flansburgh.
Flansburgh and longtime band mate John Linnell are known by the world at large as They Might Be Giants, and are also collectively referred to as "the two Johns."
Together, they've produced hundreds of such "focused, short" songs.
TMBG, who play the Catalyst Sunday, Aug. 15, are masters of creating unforgettable, fleeting worlds in songs that rarely exceed the three-minute mark, and they're only getting better at it. Their new album, The Spine, includes an upbeat, two-minute ballad called "Bastard Wants to Hit Me" that despite the title's implications is really fun to listen to--who'd have thought someone would write an enjoyable song about some guy wanting to kick your ass?
Of course, TMBG have always drawn from a notoriously unusual pool of subject material.
"When we started, we really avoided topics of romantic love, and once you kind of cross that off the list, there's just everything else in the world left for you," says Flansburgh by phone, from a short getaway in New York's Catskill Mountains.
He's in an upbeat mood.
"There's no limit on what we consider appropriate for song subjects, there's nothing that we avoid," he says. Indeed, their contagious 1990 single "Birdhouse in Your Soul" is written from the humble point of view of a night light.
With caffeinated danceable ballads sung about sad things and bustling with angular beats and witty words, it comes as no surprise that both Johns share a strong held affection for a good cup of coffee.
"Coffee is really part of our ritual," says Flansburgh. "It's the thing that makes us feel like we're doing our thing. For all the years when we first started the band, our rehearsal process was very consistent, which was: we would get back from whatever we were doing during the day, and we would make a pot of coffee at like 6:45 at night and then we would rehearse furiously for an hour."
The consistency paid off. "We were always very well rehearsed," he says, "and we always had a lot of new material."
TMBG has an extremely devoted, sometimes fanatical fan base that ranges from obsessive middle-schooler bookworms to Office Space video game freaks to college professors and far beyond. Flansburgh once remarked that the band was indeed a "freak magnet," but nevertheless, he says, "I feel like we've always really gone over with audiences, you know, like people really like our show."
He says that because of the enthusiasm and devotion of their audience, who regularly demand two encores per show, it's made it much easier to go on as a band. With a sardonic smirk in his voice he adds, "For a couple of elitist, cynical art snobs, I think we run a pretty populist show."
They Might Be Giants are constantly reinventing themselves--a few years back they became the first band to release an entire album exclusively online, and have recently teamed up with the ridiculously funny flash animation team at Homestarrunner.com to make the first ever online video for the song "Experimental Film."
"On a creative level, I think we're very ambitious," says Flansburgh.
"We're still really striving to do the best stuff that we can do, and I think in some ways we're actually hungry to achieve better stuff."
The Spine is certainly one of their strongest works to date.
"I feel like we have actually found a way to work with live instruments and a way to work with electronic instruments that gives us the kind of records that are as extreme as we want them to be but also have the sonic impact we want them to have," says Flansburgh.
At the forefront of the many concerts and compilations for political change (the nice euphemism for "We're sick of Bush's bullshit"), Flansburgh--in conjunction with Moveon.org, Music For America and Seattle-based Barsuk Records--has put together an epic compilation called Future Soundtrack of America, due to hit stores next week. The CD includes songs by TMBG, REM, the Flaming Lips, Tom Waits, Blink 182, Black Eyed Peas, the late Elliot Smith and many others.

Deals webcast series
Why yesterday's seller is unprepared in today's changing divestiture market
CPE credit
Divestiture activity remained brisk during 2012 driven by a continued desire by companies to generate cash, spin-off fast growing segments and exit underperforming or non-core assets. The path to completing these goals, however, was much more challenging than in prior years as buyers' diligence processes have become much more rigorous and increasing demands from banks have "raised the bar" for sellers.
Today's environment dictates that companies proactively assess their portfolios to identify potential divestiture or spin-off opportunities. Companies that do the hard work up front to develop an articulated divestiture strategy supported by comprehensive and accurate company data are best positioned for long term success.
Topics of discussion will include:
1) Market and activity trends
2) Significant changes in buyer expectations
3) Trends and new developments in data requirements
4) Focus areas that cannot be ignored
