The dynamic shape of an animal cell is determined by the interplay of intra- and extracellular forces. In the lab we explore the molecular, cellular and physical processes involved using interdisciplinary approaches including molecular biology, genetics, high-content RNA interference (RNAi)
screening, live cell imaging, automated image analysis, microfabrication,
biophysical techniques and computational modeling. The aim of our research is to better
understand how these processes contribute to normal tissue development and homeostasis and, when they go awry, to the evolution of metastatic cancer.
Cancer is a disease in which individual clones of mutant cells expand without control even when spread far from their tissue of origin. This is made possible by mutations acquired by cancer cells during tumour evolution that break their normal dependency on the local cues which usually function to ensure that the behaviour of each cell is finely tuned to the requirements of its host tissue. As a result, while normal cells only divide to maintain tissue homeostasis, during tumour evolution cancer cells acquire a novel ability to divide under a range of conditions: in the face of compressive forces in a growing tumour and, to establish metastases, in new, poorly structured environments.
By studying mitotic rounding and cell division in different contexts, a major goal of our research is to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms that make cancer cells both blind and resilient in the face of a changing environment. Mechanics plays a key role in this process, since the act of cell division is involves a series of dramatic actomyosin-dependent changes in cell shape and size. These begin at the very start of mitosis as cells stop moving, de-adhere from the substrate and round up to form rigid swollen spheres that provide a safe space in which to construct and orient their bipolar spindles. Then, once anaphase is triggered, cells elongate through polar relaxation as chromosomes move apart, before dividing into two as they exit mitosis.
Ultimately, by characterizing the genes and the biochemical, physical and geometrical constraints affecting mitotic progression in both normal and cancer cells, including CTCs isolated from patients, we hope to identify novel diagnostic and prognostic markers of cancer progression, and to identify strategies by which to selectively kill dividing metastatic cancer cells.
Genetically identical twins look remarkably similar. How the genome guides cell behavior during development to ensure this remains poorly understood. To get at this process we are trying to understand how actin-dependent changes in the shape of individual epithelial cells give rise to a well-ordered tissue during the completion of the development of the dorsal thorax of the fruit fly - a process we like to call tissue refinement. In recent work, using a combination of live cell imaging, genetics and computational modeling, we have used this approach to demonstrate a role for basal filopodia in tissue patterning and for cell delamination in the refinement of cell packing.
We are currently recruiting post-docs to study the biophysics of cell division and cancer cell division. If you are interested, please contact us.

Malaysia police abuse suspects, lack accountability, says US human rights body
Published on Apr 2, 2014 5:56 PM
KUALA LUMPUR (REUTERS) - Malaysia's police force suffers from a glaring lack of accountability that leads to abuse of suspects and hampers its performance, US-based Human Rights Watch said on Wednesday.
The critical report comes as the South-east Asian country's police force comes under the international spotlight for leading a criminal investigation into the disappearance last month of a Malaysia Airlines jetliner with 239 people on board.
"Vague policies, substandard training, lack of transparency, and failure of leadership to investigate and prevent illegal practices all create opportunities for police abuse," Human Rights Watch said in a statement.
Malaysian Home Affairs Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

The implosion of the Gage Towers dormitories at MSU-Mankato over the weekend went off smoothly. The 12-story towers were safely imploded Saturday morning. Hundreds of spectators gathered to watch the buildings come down. First an announcer counted down, and then a series of blasts could be heard. At first nothing happened, but a second or two later the towers began to collapse inward. In about 12 seconds the buildings were reduced to rubble, and a huge dust plume expanded in a cloud. The site will be redeveloped for parking. Two new buildings have already replaced the dorms after the university decided it was cheaper to build new housing rather than fix up the old complex.

Several wounded in Chicago park shooting
CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago police is reporting that several people have been shot in a park in the city's Back of the Yards neighborhood.
A police spokesman said investigators have yet determined how many were shot in the park on the city's southwest side. He added it wasn't known if there were fatalities.
The shooting occurred late Thursday. Several ambulances had responded to the scene.

Electronovision was a process used by producer/entrepreneur H. William "Bill" Sargent, Jr. to produce a handful of motion pictures, theatrical plays, and specials in the 1960s and early 1970s using a high-resolution videotape process for production, later transferred to film via kinescope for theatrical release.
Releases in Electronovision[edit]
More than half a dozen films were produced in this fashion, including the production of Richard Burton in Hamlet (1964), the concert film The TAMI Show (1964),[1] and the Magna Film production of Harlow (1965), starring actress Carol Lynley as the 1930s sex symbol.
Electronovision was a forerunner of digital cinema, now used in the 2000s to project digital images through projectors onto cinema screens. Bill Sargent, creator of over 400 electronic patents, is best known for pioneering Pay-Per-View in 1962 in a boxing match between Cassius Clay (later known as Muhammad Ali) and George Logan.
Process background[edit]
Electronovision was an entirely separate and more advanced process from the earlier Electronicam, used by the DuMont Television Network in the 1950s to telecast live TV shows with electronic cameras, while simultaneously filming the production with a film camera attached to the side of the video camera. That process had been used on TV series broadcast by DuMont as well as the "Classic 39" half-hour version of The Honeymooners that aired on CBS in the 1955-56 television season, allowing the producers to archive a high-quality film negative for reruns.
While the press releases on Electronovision were deliberately vague, perhaps to add more mystique to the process, it used conventional analog Image Orthicon video camera tube units, shooting in the B&W 819-line interlaced 25fps French SECAM video standard, using modified high-band quadruplex VTRs to record the signal.
The promoters of Electronovision gave the impression that this was a new system created from scratch, using a high-tech name (and avoiding the word kinescope) to distinguish the process from conventional film photography. Nonetheless the advances in tape-to-reel time were, at the time, a major step ahead. By capturing more than 800 lines of resolution at 25 frame/s, raw tape could be converted to film via kinescope recording with sufficient enhanced resolution to allow big-screen enlargement. The 1960s productions used RCA TK-60 image orthicon video cameras, which have a characteristic white "glow" around black objects (and a corresponding black glow around white objects), which was an inherent flaw of image orthicon video camera tubes called "blooming". Later vidicon and plumbicon tubes produced much cleaner, more accurate pictures, as well as a higher resolution of 1400 lines. [2]
Videotape editing of the period was very primitive, which forced Electronovision producers to approach their productions essentially as if they were live TV broadcasts. Whole scenes were shot in long blocks, typically at least 5 or 10 minutes, and segments were physically cut together using mechanical 2" videotape splicing blocks. A special chemical solution and magnetic powder, applied to the videotape and viewed under a microscope, allowed the editor to see the video pulses and precisely align them for glitch-free editing. However, the technique was hit-and-miss and made it difficult to make accurate, fast edits.
Sargent's original Electronovision empire went out of business around 1966, following the release of "Stop the World – I Want to Get Off". The producer revived the idea in 1975 with newer, color video equipment, and was able to mount a critically acclaimed independent release of James Whitmore's one-man show "Give 'em Hell, Harry!", an biographical based on the life of U.S. President Harry S. Truman. Two years later, Sargent had his most successful production, Richard Pryor's early 1979 live stand-up comedy performance Richard Pryor: Live in Concert, which received wide distribution in theaters as well as cable TV and, later, home video.
Health and business problems forced Sargent to retire in the 1980s. The process became a footnote in history, though several other attempts were made to revive the essential concept—a higher-res videotape system, using modified video cameras, recording to videotape and then making a kinescope for theatrical release. Decades later, the process was perfected with the introduction of high definition television equipment in the late 1990s, resulting in digital cinema, digital intermediates, and was the beginning of the end of traditional photochemical filmmaking, ushering in an entirely digital era of motion picture production.
Rival processes[edit]
Avant-garde musician Frank Zappa co-directed and co-wrote 200 Motels (1971), which was shot on PAL color videotape at Pinewood Studios in England. The production featured dazzling graphics, video feedback, and chromakey visual effects, and is considered a precursor to the music videos of the 1980s. The production was electronically edited using early Ampex equipment, then transferred to 35mm film for theatrical release.
In 1973, Hollywood actor/producer Ed Platt, made famous by his role as "The Chief" in the NBC-TV series Get Smart, raised the money to produce one of the very first independent color motion pictures shot entirely on videotape: Santee, starring Glenn Ford. Platt saw the advantages of using videotape over film, and used the facilities of Burbank's Compact Video Systems to shoot the western on location in the California and Nevada deserts. The motion picture was shot with Norelco PCP-70 portable plumbicon NTSC cameras and portable Ampex VR-3000 2" VTRs, then transferred to film at Consolidated Film Industries in Hollywood. The film was not commercially successful. Platt died about six months after the film was released.
In 1976, TV producer George Schlatter, known for his successful NBC-TV series Laugh-In and many TV comedy specials, wrote and directed the motion picture Norman, Is That You?, based on the controversial Broadway play. Also shot on NTSC videotape, the film starred comedian Redd Foxx and Pearl Bailey. The film enjoyed some critical success, but was Schlatter's only foray into feature films.
Los Angeles video post-production company Image Transform specialized in creating very high-quality kinescope recording during the 1970s and 1980s. Their Image Vision process used modified PAL color video cameras, upping the resolution from 625 lines to 655 lines for slightly improved resolution. This process - very similar to Sargent's Electronovision - recorded the signal on ultra-wideband IVC 9000 analog VTRs, but allowed easy electronic editing, titling, and effects, similar to a traditional 1980s videotape TV show. The Image Vision process was used on several minor shorts and theatrical releases, including Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl (1982). Image Vision was superseded by the analog NHK Hi-Vision high definition system of the early 1990s.

Sargent developed Electronovision, which promised high-quality video-to-film transfers of live performances. His cameras could capture 800 lines of registration, more than double the limit for home television reception. (In later years the cameras approached 1,400 lines of registration, the equivalent to today's high-definition capabilities.)

On Wednesday, the social media rejoiced upon learning that the old Zen Master himself, NBA coaching legend Phil Jackson, finally had joined the ranks of Twitter. His first tweet left a lot to be desired: 11 champ;ipnsikp[ ringhs — Phil Jackson (@PhilJackson11) March 27, 2013 But as we have now learned, the entire population of the interwebs had been the victim of ruse perpetrated by a wise man who possesses far more social media savvy than we originally had supposed. Evidence of how we had been suckered by Jackson comes courtesy of an AOL video that just hit the Internet. In a brief tweet that only read "much better," the following video was attached. Well hardy-har-har. You got us, Phil Jackson, you sneaky SOB. You got us good.

It's been a 25-year wait, but now the Memphis Tigers are the best in college basketball
Even until the bitter end, University of Memphis coach John Calipari refused to believe it. Though reporters tried to convince them otherwise, Tiger players declined to accept that poll voters would give them the recognition they wanted.
"We never get any kind of respect," senior Andre Allen said.
Though that really hasn't been true for awhile, nobody does a better job convincing themselves otherwise than the Tigers. But the Rodney Dangerfield routine officially expired at 1:15 p.m. Monday, when the Associated Press released its poll naming Memphis the top college basketball team in the land.
You want respect?
For the first time in 25 years, Memphis (17-0) is ranked No. 1 in the AP poll, receiving 49 of 72 first-place votes. The Tigers also topped the USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll, getting 21-of-31 first-place votes, making it a unanimous decision over undefeated Kansas (18-0), which finished second in both polls.
"I'm shocked," said Calipari, who spent the weekend cautioning that BCS biases would propel Kansas ahead of Memphis in at least one of the polls.
In reality, it was Memphis' turn. The Tigers began the season ranked third, moved up to No. 2 behind North Carolina on Dec. 3 and saw an opening to take the top spot Saturday when the Tar Heels lost at home to unranked Maryland. Memphis then grabbed it with authority, looking very much like a No. 1 team in its 83-47 dismantling of Southern Miss later that evening.
Memphis, which travels to Tulsa on Wednesday, now hopes to retain the top spot for longer than the only previous Tiger team to be ranked No. 1. On Jan. 10, 1983, Memphis lost to Virginia Tech literally hours after being named No. 1 for the first time in school history, and never got back to the top.
"We've got to play how we've been playing regardless of the ranking," junior guard Antonio Anderson said. "Teams are going to come out with even more fire. We have to stay focused and play the basketball we've been playing."
Though being ranked No. 1 is new territory for these players, it's the second time for Calipari, whose 1994-95 and 1995-96 UMass teams sat atop the polls for a total of 14 weeks.
Calipari is one of five coaches in NCAA history to direct two different schools to a No. 1 ranking, along with Frank McGuire (St. John's, North Carolina, South Carolina), Ralph Miller (Wichita State, Oregon State), Eddie Sutton (Arkansas, Kentucky) and Roy Williams (Kansas, North Carolina).
Calipari is the only coach to do it at two schools that are not members of the so-called power conferences.
"It's significant for these players because the places I've coached, you've had a lot of players that have been overlooked, have been told you can't," Calipari said. "They've been told there's no hope for you, and then all the sudden they come together as a unit and feed off one another and help each other build their self-esteem, so it's prideful to have this happen.
"It's unusual for a non-BCS league team to do it and for the players on that team to do it. I think they took great pride in it. But the only ranking that matters to me is April 7."
Indeed, the January rankings will be a distant memory by the time the NCAA Tournament begins. But the Tigers certainly won't turn down an opportunity to be No. 1, especially given how much they've invested in turning this program into a national contender.
"It means a lot, but it's really nothing," Allen said. "It's just a bigger target on our backs. We're a target anyway. But we're going to continue coming out, practicing hard and winning games."
"It's nothing but a ranking, but the hard work we put into it, we wanted to be No. 1," freshman guard Derrick Rose said. "It should feel good to (the fans) and to us because of all the work we put into it, all the practicing, all the running up and down the court, the yelling we get."
For the Tigers, the issue now becomes how they'll handle a new identity. Over the past two-plus seasons, Memphis has thrived on the perceived lack of respect for its accomplishments, including two straight Elite Eight appearances.
With all the respect they can handle, will the Tigers still play with the so-called chip on their shoulders?
"We've still got something to prove even though we're No. 1," Anderson said, "just for the simple fact that they don't want us to be No. 1."

I thought Microsoft invented the idea in the first place. I remember when .doc files were not MS Word files, but Microsoft soon put an end to that.
In any case, does this make it harder to change your default web browser. I thought it was counter-intuitive enough, but this could make things worse. This may be the only way Microsoft can claw back some of its lost market share. Of course the EU may have something to contribute to this.
I have been telling others for decades that the solution is simple. There should be two modes: sandboxed and self-destruct. The overwhelming majority of VBA code I've developed is limited to the application, and mostly to the document (often via the template or addin).
Sandbox mode would allow most practical macros to run harmlessly keeping evil cross-application code at bay.
Apparently it's not that simple ?

Buying the top Apple watch is likened to buying a Rolex, which is the sort of thing you do to show off how much money you have lying around doing nothing else important.
The difference is that the Rolex will last you a very long time, and some people will hang on to theirs for life, or what's left of it.
Two years, max, and you will want to replace your Apple Watch with its replacement, which has more memory, runs faster, has a few extra sensors, and a better screen.
Being seen with an old Rolex nothing compared to being seen with old tech.

I spent days of frustration and hundreds of dollars on consultant time trying to rectify Google's error in blacklisting my IP address.
Google don't respond to inquiries and don't explain why they do what they do, so if they make an error it's your problem to deal with.
If you're not getting any spam through Gmail, it's possibly dumping some of your legitimate email in the process.
Yes, now I know what to do. Encourage anybody who listens to dump Gmail and get a proper email account.
Terrorism is probably a very real threat, even Down Under. These morons have made the threat worse.
What Tiger Airlines have done by overreacting to a doodle is to tell the public that they can't tell the difference between real and imagined terrorist acts. That way, nobody will take real threats seriously since they react the same way as with doodles.
Oh well, who wants to fly Tiger anyway?

A solution:

The other part of the solution is to filter all incoming file names.
Actually, it's easier than that.
If, for example, you have a web site that allows uploading files and don't filter the file names, the you can create these problem file names without trying.

Never use averages as the source of your data. Anything which combines data has already lost important detail.
This also applies to democratic elections.
Government is won by the party which gains the most seats. However, the majority of a majority is not always a majority. For example 60% of 60% is only 36%.
At least twice in recent Australian political history, the government had the majority of seats but the opposition had the majority overall popular vote. On another occasion, one minor party had 10% of the popular vote, but not one seat.
Isn't statistics wonderful? Lies and Damned Lies …

The rest may be history, but there's an important footnote to that history.
By the mid 1980s, John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz began to despair of what was happening to BASIC on the micro computer. In particular, the limited memory and processing power of the computers at the time had led to a fairly naïve programming language, lacking many of the structures and features of the more modern languages.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, BASIC had been developing into a more sophisticated product. Kurtz & Kemeny implemented and marketed a more advanced version called True Basic, a structured programming language which, among other things, dispensed with line numbers and the dreaded GOTO statment.
You can, of course still rewrite the title of the article as:
FOR i = 0 TO 1 STEP 0 : PRINT "Happy 50th Birthday, BASIC" : NEXT
By "warrantless" do we mean "unwarranted"?
In any case, technically, this would truly be "within the bounds that people would expect". It just depends on which people are doing the expecting.
Small slice of the consumer computers [sic] population?
Linux, on the other hand, powers the majority of web servers and routers, which is why the Web is still working. Definitely worth targeting, I should have thought.
… so why aren't you using the "mindless MS Windows fan" icon?
Assuming that we are talking about what is technically legal, it's surprising how much sympathy Tax department is suddenly getting.
We are taxed on practically everything, and denied many legitimate tax deductions (such as travel and spectacles). Paying taxes has become a competition to see who can con the most out of the other.
When the government does get their cut, they squander it on poor and inefficient infrastructure, mismanagement and general wastage. When they actually get something working, they then charge us extra for the service.
Most of us grumble, not because the government is being deprived of their rightful share, but because we haven't been able to achieve the same success.
In any case, tax is only one of many ways of contributing to the community. Given that Apple's profit is less than 100%, for every dollar spent on an Apple product, money has contributed to wages, manufacture, rent and other costs paid to others. Third party accessories and equipment also benefit.
Sure, potential tax money from Apple is not insignificant. But it's only a small percentage of the flow on financial benefits to the rest of the community.
A lot of China's industry is exported to the rest of the world where we low prices are so important that we don't care who suffers and how.
It is absurd to think that importing goods from overseas more cheaply than manufacturing them locally is not a distortion of reality. In this case, it is achieved by poor wages and working conditions, unreliable quality control, and a disregard for the environment.
The medium to long term consequences may well include higher prices as manufacturing and food production in China gets trickier.
"… the vast majority of citizens and businesses already use OpenXML as their preferred document format …"
This must be some strange usage of "preferred" that I was previously unaware of.
OpenXML is a default format more honoured in the breach than in the observance. Even Microsoft can't implement it properly. The vast majority of citizens and businesses haven't heard of OpenXML, and certainly haven't made a conscious decision that would be required to make it a preferred format.
The Gummint is in a poor position to talk about ROI. The whole point of government, if it's doing the job, is to provide services, using the money it has hijacked from the tax payer.
Highways, bridges, sewerage, hospitals and other services including a decent communications network all require a coordinated effort, which is what government should be providing.
If the tax payers have indicated that they want broadband, then that should be sufficient benefit for the cost involved.
Now let's see the Government justifying the rest of the financial black hole that is the day-to-day business of running themselves.
Nobody needs to run IE any more, especially if you're sitting on top of the sort of technology which the US military is supposed to have.

It's not just the price difference which attracts buyers to overseas. It's the fact that local suppliers don't have the stock, or the range, or the understanding to justify wasting your time trying to buy locally.
Local retailers shooting themselves in the foot here. They are positioning themselves against potential customers, and wondering why customers don't fall over themselves to flock to their stores. Perhaps they might take an interest in becoming more competitive rather than making everybody else less competitive.

I have legally bought DVDs from 4 different regions and do not appreciate being told that what I have done is immoral or illegal.My DVD player doesn't care, and neither should anybody else.
My computer, on the other hand, is being much more fascist about it, so I need an unlocked copy. My preference is, of course, for a legal copy, but what is one to do if the only option is an illegal copy?
MPAA, if you are reading this, the solution is really really easy: unlock DVDs, price them more reasonably, make them more available, and sit back and rake in the increased revenue.
What sort of moron makes their products increasingly harder to buy and harder to use, and laments over how hard it is to sell them?

The irony is that using Java requires some technical know-how on the part of the user, either keeping it up to date, or, in this case to work around it. Those with the know-how already know that Java is a flawed solution.

I gave up on MS Word some time ago. LibreOffice does what I want to do better, but it could stand a total re-think on word processing.
The problem with all word processors is that nobody has put much thought into changing the way we think about word processing, so we're still trying to do what seemed magical decades ago.
MS Word's biggest failure, as with the rest of Office, is that all of the changes make it harder to use than ever before. What normal users want to do is trapped somewhere between the new features and the new interface.

Library to Name President
The New York Public Library on Wednesday will name as its new president the head of Amherst College, Anthony W. Marx, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Marx, 51 years old, will replace Paul LeClerc, who has served in the role since 1994. Mr. LeClerc will step down from his post next summer, having announced his resignation in November 2009.
Mr. Marx's appointment requires approval by members of the library's board of trustees. The full board will hold a special meeting Wednesday and is expected to approve Mr. Marx.
A spokeswoman for the library declined to comment Tuesday.
Mr. Marx could not immediately be reached for comment. Reached by phone, Amherst's assistant to the president, Benny Chavez, said: "We have no comment at this time." Mr. Chavez said Mr. Marx was currently traveling.
Among Mr. Marx's challenges will be to take the reins of a sprawling system with branches in Manhattan, Staten Island and the Bronx that, like many of the city's cultural institutions in recent years, has struggled to compensate for reduced public funding.
Earlier this year, after the City Council approved a budget that cut funding for the libraries by $10 million, the organization considered implementing five-day service. It later avoided that step, but only by reducing its hours of operation and accepting greater-than-expected numbers of buyouts. Its fiscal year 2011 budget is $257.4 million.
The chairwoman of the library's board, Catherine Marron, and its vice chairman, Joshua L. Steiner, headed the search committee for Mr. LeClerc's successor. Although Ms. Marron previously suggested that a replacement for Mr. LeClerc, a former president of Hunter College, might hail from any number of fields, Mr. Marx also comes to the library from academia.
He has served as Amherst's president since 2003 and was previously a professor and director of the undergraduate political science department at Columbia University. He attended the Bronx High School of Science, followed by Wesleyan and Yale universities, and received an M.P.A., M.A. and Ph.D. from Princeton University.
For two years beginning in 1984, he lived in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he helped found Khanya College for the South African Committee for Higher Education Trust, according to a biography on Amherst's website.
"Tony's career—and his life—reflect the intersection of three strong interests: the social role of education, contemporary world politics, and the workings of history," the chairman of Amherst's board of trustees, Amos B. Hostetter, Jr., said in the 2003 announcement of Mr. Marx's appointment at the college.

I am using MVC3 with entity framework database
I just have a table which has the day of the week, the muscle you want to train and the amount of sets you wanna do for that muscle.
So basicly I am making a schedule. I start off with creating a schedule. And when I create a schedule, I want to make sure there are only one day of the week days in my table. (so Monday will be there one time)
The creating part works, but checking if it already excists and then giving the ok sign to fill the database with records is my problem. I am pretty sure that this needs to be done in my controller.
Get the Post from the view, and check if it already excists in my database. can someone help with an example?

More iPhone 5 metal back, 4-inch screen, NFC rumors
Adding more -- if decidedly similar -- fuel to iPhone 5 rumor fire, China Times is reporting that trial production has begun on the device, and that it does indeed have a 4-inch screen, metal back/chassis, NFC (near field communications), and perhaps an improved antenna and dual GSM/CDMA support. All this packed into pretty much the same form factor as iPhone 4.
They claim, however, it will only ramp up production in Q3, 2011 (July to September) which would be later than Apple's typical summer release schedule.
Are the rumors getting steady enough that you're starting to believe this is what we'll see in the 5th generation iPhone?

More iPhone 5 metal back, 4-inch screen, NFC rumors
It's unlikely that Apple would increase the screen size AND the number of pixels and enrage developers. To ensure 100% app compatibility with Retina-display-optimized apps, it's more likely that while the screen size is increased, the number of pixels would stay the same. Although this would make the dpi a little less than on the iPhone 4.
But who knows which way they'll go - and if the screen size is going to be increased at all...
The only thing hard to believe is that they aren't making it thinner.
Metal back would be sweet... At least reduce damage risk
It looks like someone just slapped the metal back onto the 4, as you can still apparently see the black glass layer beneath it. NFC, maybe, probably, I don't know?
You are aware that the picture shows an iPhone 4? "Note: Image above shows aftermarket iPhone 4 metal back conversion"
I'm ready, but the phone pictured isn't a 5. It's a 4 with a brushed metal "case" glued to the back of it. FAIL !
That's exactly what it is - and also exaclty what the article says it is: "Note: Image above shows aftermarket iPhone 4 metal back conversion"
And I don't think that's a fail at all, in my opinion it looks extremely good! :)
And it's not "glued" to the back. - its a conversion kit.
Actually the metal back is stuck to a plastic frame with double sided tape. It is very flimsy but once installed it will stay put.
At this point, the only thing I believe is that iPhone 5 will look like the CDMA iPhone 4. Same screen size, same glass back, separate GSM and CDMA versions and an A5 SoC. Same antenna design.
That's it. No bigger screen. No NFC. No metal back.
So what you meant to say is you don't think Apple will release an iPhone 5, yet, you expect more of a "3GS" type boost? Fair enough.
I'll tell you some (not-so)insider information though - Apple only renames a product on a redesign. If you start seeing official iPhone 5 marketing from Apple around the time of WWDC...expect a complete redesign.
Not true, there was almost no external difference between the original iPhone and the iPhone 3g.
There was absolutely external difference between the first iPhone and the iPhone 3G. You're an idiot.
I think it will be a 5, and it will have some back mods to go a long with it. You know how Apple people are, they HAVE to have the latest, and Apple always makes some minor change so the world can tell. Just like the first white iPhone was only the 16G model, so people knew you paid the extra $$$ for it. Same as the iPad, make it just different enough for the world to know "YOU have the lastest" whatever it is. There were issues with the glass back, and I for one am not comfortable with the glass. The iPhone "6" will be another re-design with a new form factor, like they did with the 3GS-to-4. I think it will be a 5 also to drop the ATT / Verizon specific phones, and they will have just one model. It CANNOT be cheap for Apple to have to make a separate phone for Verizon, and seeing how few they are selling compared to ATT, one model makes a lot of sense. iPhone 5 - One phone, two carriers.
With an A5 SoC, it represents a major version update.
And the iPhone 3GS stands today as the single biggest update to its predecessor then any other iPhone update, and likely, for all time. You will never see such a huge increase in performance, across the board for all ops, between versions again as was seen in the iPhone 3GS.
Like I said before - the internals are one thing, the design, which Apple touts so highly, is a completely other. Thus making the 3GS a major "update" to the phone, but not a redesign. Redesigns are what Apple brands their new versions around.
You are betting that Apple will change the chassis design for the summer 2011 iPhone update? Ok. Obviously we disagree. We'll know in 3 months.
I am not betting that they're change the product design. You're obviously not reading very well. I never said I was betting on a redesign. I simply said it will only be branded as iPhone 5 if it is completely redesigned. If it's a spec bump, it will hold the 4 branding.
Ok. So you are not making any statements at all. There's really no fun to predict what's going to happen based on Apple's marketing of the device. It's not even a rumor at that point.
So, what do you think it is going to be?
Here is my statement (refer to my original reply to your comment) - if you suspect the next generation iPhone to have no design changes at all, then I promise you it won't be called the iPhone 5.
The only thimg im disappointed about with the iPhone 5 is that there will be no support for T-Mobile 3G..... :(
T mobile will be gone in a year. AT&T bought them.
Not sure about the latest dates, but this is the year of the iPad. Who knows how far off apple's scheduled is.
@Keel @DoubleDown That is an iPhone 4 w a replacement back panel -- not glued on! The back panel is actually really easy to remove. It's a picture from last year and a post a couple days ago had the same picture w a disclaimer that it is in fact a 4 w an aftermarket aluminum panel -- probably anticipating responses like yours.
I'm still not sold on the metal back. I know people like it, but it plays heck with RF signals. Glass is too fragile and heavy. Personally, I have no problem with plastic/polycarbonate, since it doesn't feel as slick in your hand, but apparently using plastic is beneath Apple now.
I'm with you. I loved the 3G/3GS. Light and cheap to fix if need be.
While a new design with a larger screen is certainly welcome, what really needs improvement is the OS.
Explain. What about the OS needs improvement? I'm not being defensive, I just don't understand what Apple has promised that the current OS doesn't deliver?
Notifications could be better.
How could they be better? Perhaps suggest an improvement rather than saying "could be better". Pizza "could be better", but I think it's still terrific the way it is.
I agree with you. They absolutely need to get rid of notifications that pop up in DEAD CENTER of the screen that disrupt typing and playing games. If I'm typing and I get a PNS or SMS/MMS ( if im in another typing app like twitter ) I get switched over. That's really annoying. I guess if I'm playing a game, Apple wants us to go into Airplane Mode but that can't be,its not " elegant ". As for a solution, I've always said that the top bar of the screen where the time is can be extended to twice it's size without compromising the size or orientation of the apps in the spring board. We see this when we're in voice recorder and we go to the home screen ( spring board ) and if you use skype and exit to the spring board. This is just one of those things that should have ben fixed since they introduced PNS.
Thanks Omari. That's actually a decent reply. I haven't really seen any issues in my experience with the current notification flow, but I can see from what you're citing as an example, how that might be annoying to someone using a game or typing in an app.
You make some decent suggestions. You should submit this to http://apple.com/feedback.
Holy crap, you think the iPhone 4 is too heavy?!?
Where in that comment did they say it was too heavy?
iPhone 5 might be on t-mobile now that it is acquired by AT&T, I would love to see a stainless steel back cover along with a 4 inch screen on newer iphone. I had my iphone 4 back broken that i had to take to http://www.drcellphone.com to replace.
There will be no iPhone 5 on T-Mobile. For the reason that, when the merger is completed and the iPhone would be eligible for T-Mobile...there will be no more T-Mobile.
I hope that the new iPhone is made of pure Unicorn tusk. Only the finest of ingredients should be used to construct the next version. It would magnify RF signals while accelerating your hopes and dreams.
You've obviously never seen a unicorn in real life, because they have a horn, not a tusk.
Want to debate the characteristics of a mythological creature? Of course you do.
I can't see it having a metal back (which would act as an RF shield) after all the problems they had with the metal back on the iPhone 1 and the antenna problems of the iPhone 4. You cannot devy the laws of physics and get RF to go through metal at all the frequences the iPhone uses for it's various radios. If anything I would expect them to ditch the steel band antenna of the iPhone 4 and revert to an integral antenna. An RF shield on the back of the phone would mean you would get variable reception for the phone/GPS/WiFi/bluetooth depending on which way you were facing. Steve Jobs will then probably tell us to "don't face that way" or some other classically stupid comment. A metal back would also negate any possibly to have NFC in the same device.
A typical metal back might act as an RF shield, but what about a Liquidmetal backing? How have RF frequency/strength tests held up against Apple's recently acquired alloy.
Just my two cents here, but with cell technology advancing, could we not just see an iPhone "4G" on the next release with just hardware tweaks such as newer processor??
Yes although they would not call it the 4G or 4GS as it has no 4G technology in it (misleading). They would more likely call it the iPhone 5.
As I've said above, Apple has a strict policy of naming conventions on their branding of mobile devices. It gets a new version when it's been redesigned. Meaning this phone, if redesigned, will be named iPhone 5. If it's a spec bump, it will not be named iPhone 5. I promise you that.
How about iPhone 4.5??? I'm just saying..
Hey Rene please put: [Image shows aftermarket iPhone 4 metal back conversion]over the image itself so we don't have to read the moronic "nice try but that's just an iphone 4 with a metal back, photoshop fail" and subsequent reply explanations -ever again. Thanks!
I would like the iPhone 5 to take on a similar look as the iPad 2 with it's flat back and curves. A classic Apple iPod look yet easy to pick up off the table and would just fit right into your palm. Additionally, the speaker orientation will make loud speaker mode 'louder' :)
The aluminum backing is pretty nice i got it on ebay round 6 months ago for around 12 bucks. get lots of compliments. Only down side letters and Apple logo erase pretty easy other than that its very clean.
Who buys this thing? No 4G in the midst of a 4G onslaught? NFC instead of 4G? Really!! Dual core for what??? Certainly not for web browsing or interactive games over 3G.
Figure out how to squeeze adequate battery life from a 4G radio. That is where the innovation is at the moment.
Hmmmm...what if they are making a bigger screen and increasing the resolution? That way, they'd be able to keep apps the same size but add a fabulous new notification area that doesn't interrupt the apps at all. Just a thought...
Stop it! You guys are killing me! lol

You'd think the way everyone gets all worked up that they made the iPhone & iPad. Right? 2011 will be a great year. :-)
That back has been out for at least 6 months.
i want a LED
Bring it on !! I want the metal back. the iPhone 4 is full of contradictions. Strong steal chassis but sandwich by glass ?
Just give me by 64GB , kthanksbai.
Will they still announce the iPhone 5 in June if they are delaying the release until Q3? Will they release the white iPhone 4 in the Spring, given that they will (allegedly) be releasing the iPhone 5 later than first anticipated?
Am I the only one who loves the current design INCLUDING the glass front and back. I have dropped it a few times on hard internal flooring and it's without a scratch. Although I'm sure dropping it on external flooring may be different.
I just don't think that Apple will release a phone that will be interchangeable between cdma and gsm. It would be nice but I don't think that either carrier has an interest in people being able to switch between them. A software lock isn't enough either, they know we'll just get around it so a hardware limitation is the only option.

Deployment of NFC on iPhone5/4G/4GS seems unlikely, since a number of hackers have proven that it's hardly secure against determined ne'er-do-wells. The only other phone to feature this is the Samsung/Google Nexus S, which still has very limited use for the technology, due mainly to security concerns, relegating it to the realm of a 'gimmick' feature. And that phone's been out since November! If anyone could make it work, It'd be Apple, but I'm highly dubious.
Stop complaining about ppi on a slightly larger screen. It'll still be a fantastic display, and if you won't notice the difference unless you hold the thing right in front of your eyeball. Be happy that you get some more screen real-estate.
Additionally, those concerned about worsened reception issues with a metal back need to realize that Apple will definitely not disregard the lessons learned in Antenna-gate. In all likelihood they will move back to a traditional internal antenna, bypassing the whole issue. Additionally, since AT&T acquired T-Mobile, the bandwidth they subsume from T-Mo will increase reception in all areas, more than making up for whatever the metal backing would do. However, you won't see those changes until next year.
Delayed launch date is because of AT&T's slow roll-out of LTE, for which iphones on VZW and AT&T will be equipped. It will be worth the wait.
I actually hit skip to comments by mistake and was rather amused by your comments "dood", do you work for the apple company? You seem to "correct" alot of other comments. My dingus is bigger than your dingus kinda thing? Just sayin

* So why bother with ActingForTwo? I'd have written Maddie out entirely and had Joey as Liv's foil.
** 1. So they could do the whole TomboyAndGirlyGirl thing.
** 2. Some of the plots (such as the first episode) rely on them being identical.
** 3. So they could play with the different personalities of a nerdy teenage boy and an athletic tomboy girl.
*** This sounds like a GenderFlip of ''AustinAndAlly''.
** 4. So they don't end up in a RelationshipWritingFumble and have Liv and Joey end up like [[WizardsOfWaverlyPlace Justin and Alex]].
*** Having a boy/girl team is already prominent in ''AustinAndAlly'' and ''DogWithABlog'', to an extent.
*** Sadly, point 4 is moot thanks to the HalloweenEpisode. Yeah, ew.
**** I think that is intentional - have Joey grind his skills against a diva so he can be more likely to success with other girls. Real divas tend to be AlphaBitch and hard to control so Liv volunteered.
** 5. The show was originally intended to be a rip-off of TheBradyBunch called ''Bits and Pieces.'' Disney realized they already did that with LifeWithDerek and decided to make a rip-off of ThePattyDukeShow instead.
*** Actually, it wasn't Disney that did Life With Derek. They simply imported it from Canada.
** 6. They probably want to make a big twist that they aren't twins and it's just one girl with a SplitPersonality.
*** that's way to cynical for Disney. Plus, that brings up alot of questions about everything that has ever happened on the show.
* In Skate-a-rooney, Liv is a celebrity judge in the skateboarding competition and her boyfriend is competing in it. The people who chose her never thought this might make her biased?
** They probably didn't care since it didn't bother them that their celebrity judge didn't know enough about skateboarding to be accepted as a judge without the celebrity status.
[[WMG:Where are the paparazzi and mobs after the first episode?]]
This contrasts with HannahMontana who gets mobbed as soon as she show up. Given how successful ''Sing it Loud!'' is, it should have propelled Liv into IdolSinger status, and give her a similar following of fans as Hannah or ''Series/{{Glee}}'' cast members had.
* This is her home town though, where most people probably knew her before she went to Hollywood, so they aren't that starstruck by her as people were by Hannah. She had to have made visits back home every once in a while, too.
* Liv is 15 when the show ends, probably still a B-lister at most based on youth alone. If Stevens Point is far enough from Chicago (let alone New York or LA) that it's simply too much travel time for not valuable enough a picture, they'll leave her alone. Most paparrazzi work on speculation and cluster in celeb-rich environments.
[[WMG:In Switch-a-Rooney the plans should not backfire, given their previous experience in pulling off those]]
Liv should be aware of Maddie's eye condition. To pull that trick off flawlessly she just need a pair of glasses that looks identical to Maddie's but without vision-correcting lens (i.e. the lens are simple flat panes of glass), and get Maddie contacts. She should also be able to give Maddie acting lessons so that she can pull off [[GirlinessUpgrade a convincing Liv vibe]] and her own proficiency in acting should allow herself to pull off [[LetsGetDangerous a convincing Maddie feeling]], especially when facing the driving tester and Artie the fanboy who is not exactly familiar with them. (This is a [[LatexPerfection confirmed myth in this situation]] by Series/MythBusters)
** Maddie as Liv did succeed in fooling the fanboys and the general populace(Except Joey and Parker who are much closer to them). Liv as Maddie technically succeeded too, the only fail they had was that Liv had not realized she would required to wear glasses, and with them only being recently reunited, it's understandable that she doesn't have glasses to pull the switch.
[[WMG: Maddie is on her way to be [[{{Chickification}} chickified]] into Liv with straight hair.]]
* Following [[Series/HannahMontana Lilly]]'s steps.
[[WMG: How the heck does Artie get away with so openly bullying Joey? Especially since Joey's ''the coach and the guidance counselor's kid''?]]
* Following the same, WHY they still allow Willow anywhere near Joey? The girl is very clearly obsessed with him and Joey is terrified of her!(That even without mentioning that she is physically stronger than him)

Ken Milder's letter encouraging voters to vote down Question 2 on the November ballot has some incorrect and/or misleading statements regarding the revisions proposed to Article V of the Los Alamos County Charter that address the operation and oversight of the Department of Public Utilities (DPU).
Although it is true that the language in Question 2 appears to be completely new, the text of roughly half of Article V is actually not new, but rather just rearranged for clarity and to separate fundamental issues so that they are not co-mingled, as they are in the current Article V document.
More importantly, Mr. Milder suggests that under the new charter, council will be able to use the DPU to generate "hidden" revenue for the county, by forcing the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to raise utility rates and then transfer these funds into the county budget. However, the dispute resolution process in the proposed Article V requires two public meetings and a 5 out of 7 vote by council before council can require the Board to increase utility rates, or force DPU to transfer utility funds to the county. That hardly qualifies as a "hidden" rate increase.
My name is Jenna Erickson and I am the 2014 chair of the United Way Youth Team. It is such an honor for me to be in this position to work on the events that the team has to present to the community this year. I am so excited for everyone to see what we have to offer.
The members of the team this year are so motivated, creative, passionate and just cannot wait to present all the hard work that they have been doing to everyone. We hope the community is as excited as we are.
The United Way Youth Team just kicked off its campaign at the beginning of this month. Proceeds from the youth team events benefit the Community Action Fund. Last year, the funds raised at youth team events helped start Link Crew, which is a peer to peer mentoring program at the high school. At the start of the school year, the Link Crew leaders welcomed freshmen into the high school community. Many of the youth team members are also a part of the Link Crew program.
The Los Alamos High School graduating class of 1964 will have its 50th reunion in Los Alamos instead of Albuquerque. Opting to hold it on the weekend of LAHS' homecoming game (Sept. 19), the organizing committee chose to bring to their alma mater and Los Alamos much of the business many reunions give to Albuquerque.
The administration of LAHS graciously invited the Class of 1964 to ride and walk in the lead of the homecoming parade Friday starting at 2:30 p.m., with a special seating section that evening at the game against Kirtland Central High Bronco's at 7 p.m.
Everyone thought it might be really "cool" if the '64 Homecoming Court could ride in '64 vintage vehicles … however, locating such transportation proved to be a bit more of a challenge than first thought.
After putting the word out through various contacts and media, having several volunteers and then drop out due to engine difficulties, it is exciting to finally announce that the '64 court will be in convertibles and classmates will ride in a beautifully restored pick-up truck — all vintage works of art folks!
The most important, long-term decision facing Los Alamos voters is not only choosing candidates, but the proposed major changes to our County Charter, our county's constitution.
Ballot Question 2 proposes to gut Article V, Utilities, by repealing that section in its entirety and replacing it with new language. That is, charter language that has served Los Alamos citizens quite well for over 45 years must be "fixed." Go figure: Something that ain't broke needs "fixing!"
Be wary. The so-called "fix" will actually break something that works well.
How? Foremost among the proposal's many flaws is that it inserts several loopholes into governance of our utilities system. Those loopholes give future county councils the ability to impose hidden taxes that ultimately increase utility rates.
The change also shifts governance from a business-focused board to a politically motivated council, a shift that violates the industry-standard model for management and oversight of a publicly owned utilities system.
The changes are substantial and arcane. They are so massive and confusing that Article V must be totally repealed in order for the new language to make any sense.
To hundreds of locals and visitors, the face of PEEC has long been a smiling boy in an orange sweatshirt looking delightedly at a bird perched in his hand. This picture sums up everything that PEEC wants to be for the community—a source of joy and delight in nature.
We at PEEC were heartbroken to hear that the model for that joyful picture has passed away. Ryan Pappas' smile has meant so very much to us for many years.
It's hard to comprehend that he is no longer out in the world, spreading the delight that his smile reflects.
We can't imagine what his family and friends are going through now, but our thoughts are with them.
The Department of Defense sent out separation notices to 1,200 Army captains, including 48 deployed to Afghanistan. They received eight to nine months of notice so they could prepare for civilian life. What good is the notice for the captains deployed to Iraq for the next eight or nine months? How will this affect their performance in a war zone?
The next group to get the ax will be majors, and I can only assume this will continue up the line to officers who have not served the 20 years needed to retire and receive their retirement benefits.
The separations are part of the force reductions necessitated by the sequestration defense cuts. The projected savings in defense spending across all branches of the service will be $3.5 billion over five years.
Our foreign aid is $37 billion annually. If we cut it by 2 percent, or $0.74 billion per year, we will save $3.7 billion over five years, and not have to cut our military forces. Surely, with some rational thinking, we can squeeze 2 percent out of the foreign aid budget without jeopardizing our interests overseas, which will allow us to maintain our current force levels and enhance our national security.

The disagreement between political parties and pundits regarding the undocumented children and moms flooding our southern border can be solved by the one national institution which is united in one principle, that of charity.
All American churches of all denominations have in common a belief in the brotherhood of man, the belief that we should "do unto others…" love thy neighbor and succor the wounded man who is stranded beside the road.
These children are refugees fleeing horrible, life-threatening situations. Their legal status fades under necessity of immediate aid. Each church, synagogue and prayer meeting house that has a parish hall, a meeting room, or a pot-luck basement with bathroom facilities can take one mom with two kids, or two unaccompanied children to foster, feed and comfort until their screening and permanent status can be determined.
Bishops, priests, preachers, rabbis, prayer leaders, can set up "go-and-get-them" systems to gather the refugees, reviving the purpose of the 19th century Orphan Trains or the Underground Railroad. No classrooms need be overcrowded if each church has only one family to enroll.
If our church leaders can unite in this humanitarian effort, they will see even the smallest congregation come forward to welcome one family with clothes, casseroles and a warm bed.
Paul Gessing said "Ed Birnbaum has a lot to say about economic policies …" in Friday's Los Alamos Monitor, but in fact, my response to his earlier letter did not address economic policy. I only disputed his claim that "right-to-work" laws were not "anti-union."
Regarding economic policy however, it should be clear that not everyone agrees with Gessing's claim that passing right-to-work leads to economic growth (see for example, minyanville.com/business-news/editors-pick/articles/michigan-right-to-work-paul-krugman/12/11/2012/id/46587, for a detailed discussion). Readers can decide for themselves whether the statistics used by proponents of right-to-work are valid or not.
More importantly, what does it say about a company that makes a decision on where to locate based on whether, or not a state has a right-to-work law?
This says to me that the company owners are assuming they will be able to pay their workers a lower wage and have more control over their employees, because in right-to-work states, unions have less power to bargain on behalf of their members.
So the goal of such a company is to pay the lowest wages possible, which is why efforts to pass right-to-work legislation go hand-in-hand with resistance to raising the minimum wage.
Ed Birnbaum has a lot to say about the economic policies I discussed in my recent column. Specifically, Birnbaum claims that "Right to Work" laws are "anti-union." Indeed, unions worked very hard to obtain "collective bargaining" meaning that unions have special privilege to represent all workers in a given workplace, even if some workers don't wish to be a part of the union.
In that sense, "Right to Work" certainly favors the right of free association of the individual worker at the expense of the unions.
And, while Birnbaum is by no means the first person to attack the Rio Grande Foundation's economic policy ideas, the fact is that New Mexico is desperately in need of private sector economic growth. "Right to Work" is one proven method of jump-starting the private sector economy.
Over the past year, for example, eight of the top 10 states in terms of GDP growth are "Right to Work;" this, despite the fact that only 24 states have such laws on the books.
Rio Grande Foundation does have a perspective. We believe in the free market. Nonetheless, we are happy to debate and discuss other plans for bringing prosperity to New Mexico. To date, we've seen more critics than ideas.

As many of you know, our boxer, LouLee, was lost on a hike in Los Alamos on the Cabra Loop Trail while we were away on our summer vacation. We were so thankful for our family and friends who searched tirelessly for her.
We were also touched by the flood of immediate support from the entire community! We were amazed at how many of you, including so many that don't even know us, were so willing to help out.
LouLee miraculously showed up at my mother and father's backdoor two weeks after disappearing. We wish all who helped could have been at our home to see the happiest 4 and 11 year old boys in the world when we got the call early that morning!
Los Alamosans are the best! It's not just anywhere that people would have pulled together that strongly for one little dog. We have always loved our hometown so much and now we love you even more. Thank you!

Weather Control
New satellites, high tech measuring equipment and improving supercomputers are helping scientists and researchers learn more about the weather patterns of the earth. By mid century you can expect more accurate weather predictions and eventually, controlling the weather itself.
Governments throughout the world are researching weather modification. Potential benefits of controlling the weather would be increasing crop yields, decreasing the severity of storms, accurate forecasts, eliminate drought, stop global warming, protection from harmful solar energy, clear skies for astronomers, air traffic, solar panels. There are also military uses, such as making sure the weather is clear for a mission or covering the enemy with snow, fog, hail or lightning strikes.
A far better use of weather modification would be if we could someday stop a hurricane like Katrina from ever reaching land. That would be a future to behold.
