Hickenlooper Signs Bills
Governor Hickenlooper has signed a couple more bills into law. The first bill extends the ReHire program for an additional three years. Last year, Colorado lawmakers set aside $3.6 million to establish ReHire Colorado, a transitional jobs program that connects Coloradans who are ready to work with local employers by providing job training, wage assistance, and support services. The program targets veterans and low-income, low-skill Colorado workers who are unemployed or underemployed, helping them get off of public assistance and back into the workforce. The new law takes effect on August 6th. The second bill expands the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency for Schools loan program. The program provides school districts with loans for wind, solar, or other energy efficiency projects. The projects help ensure that schools are efficient and conducive to learning. The law takes effect immediately. Pictured: John Hickenlooper

Since Poser 10/Pro 2014 will have Open SubD, you can import the Genesis item into Poser via the DSON (best method is to use P9/Pro 2012 and DSON) and save the figure the library. You can then render the figure without the need of the DSON and it's subD.
You can then open it up in Pro 2014 and use the new fitting tools to fit the items to the figure of your choice. These tools are only in Pro 2014 not in Poser 10.

Downloading Poser Pro 2014 now
Yeah - there is NO WAY I'm going to use the SM Store digital download. If your burned image fails. they will charge you a fee to download at a later date (6 months down the road.) . They call this download protection! I call it wallet rape. What a racket. You would think they would want you to visit thier site and maintain your account to provide sales content opportunities. I really NEVER get the urge to visit content paradise. The practice encourages you to maintain your downloads on a cloud driive - which you would think SM would _Not_ want you to do.!
No idea what you are talking about
If you don't want that download protection, deselect it and make a backup after download - just like you should do with any other software/content you purchase
Make two backups - or three. Media is comparatively cheap nowadays, and I always make a backup of anything I download if I can.
Cliff's Store
I bought a physical copy of Poser 7, and discovered the disk had gone bad when I tried to reinstall. Fortunately I had made a back-up copy ...
\Who gives a Rat's Keister how many posts I had at the old Forum?
WimvdB - 21 May 2013 08:50 AMNo idea what you are talking about
If you don't want that download protection, deselect it and make a backup after download - just like you should do with any other software/content you purchase
I backup my custom(ized) runtimes, but I dont backup application software distributed by vendors. Most often by the time the disk is burned, a new update is available. Do you back up your DAZ Library to archive media? I dont - too big and I would just re download the latest version from my account if I lost it. Especially feasible with the new DIM. Don't understand why SM doesn't do the same with its Poser users. Nickle and diming customers to get a product they paid the license for just plain, sucks BIG TIME
I find Content Pardise's approach annoying as well. I back up my stuff after download but with Daz and other vendors (which I proboably shouldn't mention by name here) if I loose my backup I can re-download.
If you read the conditions on Content Paradise it says the extra payment keeps your files avaialable for 2 years. The only times I have lost stuff I bought from Daz it was more that 2 years old. So Daz's free re-downloads solved a problem that Content Paradise's paid for protection would not have solved.
There seems to be a problem with V4 in PP2014:
I like Bryce, DazStudio, Poser and Vue ... in alphabetical order. And I would probably like Carrara too, if I could find the time to become acquainted with it. Peace?
Poser and Daz Studio Free Resources Wiki: https://poserdazfreebies.orain.org
Like another poster earlier in the thread, I just missed the purchase deadline by 10 days and had bought Poser 9. After email exchanges where I asked if I have missed the free upgrade, couldn't at least people (whatever status) who had purchased perhaps within the last 90 days get at least 1/2 price of their purchase price whatever it was even if discounted( eg mine was a student purchase)? Why would any customer who has purchased so recently want to pay the same again??? Talk about how to lose a customer!
So I won't be upgrading my Poser 9 to 10….on principle if nothing else. What a rip off for very recent purchasers!
Thanks for discussing it though…makes me feel better. OK, will slink off back to learning Cararra.
Do I look like my avatar? No, that was 30 years ago!
Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now.

Port St. Lucie to vote tonight on canceling contract it awarded itself to rebuild community center | Poll
PORT ST. LUCIE — The city wants to fire itself from the controversial Ravenswood Community Center project and city officials blame interference from a local firm that's suing over the project.
On Monday night's City Council agenda, Assistant City Manager Greg Oravec is requesting the council cancel a $5.7 million contract it awarded the city's construction division in January to rebuild the hurricane-damaged Ravenswood Community Center.
The request also asks the council to reject all previous bid proposals and rebid the project through the city's sealed bid process.
Oravec's request includes canceling previous contract awards to subcontractors selected by the city's construction division. The city will not bid on the project, according to the request.
When the city solicited bids from contractors to reconstruct the community center on Ravenswood Lane just south of Prima Vista Boulevard, it received five bids. The city's bid of $5.7 million was $202,662 lower than the next-lowest bidder, Fort Pierce-based Paul Jacquin and Sons.
The center has severe mold damage from the 2004 hurricanes. The project includes building a 24,771-square-foot community center with gymnasium and a 10,981-square-foot classroom wing for Indian River State College. Part of the cost will be paid with money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The money must be spent by November 2012, Oravec said.
The city received $779,712 in grant money from FEMA, and expects to receive an additional $1.2 million in FEMA money for the project.
Michael Jacquin, president of Paul Jacquin & Sons, as well as several other contractors objected to the city getting the contract, saying the city had an unfair advantage and should not be competing with the private sector.
The city argued it bid fairly on the contract and did so to save money.
Paul Jacquin & Sons filed suit against the city in Circuit Court Jan. 19, a day after the City Council voted 3-2 to award the contract to the city's construction division. The suit alleges the city failed to competitively award the Ravenswood contract by not selecting a private firm and didn't comply with its own bid requirements.
Oravec, who's acting city manager this week while City Manager Jerry Bentrott is on vacation, said one of the city's subcontractors, Precision Paving & Excavation, backed away from the job. He said he had discussions with Bentrott on Friday over sending the project back out to bid.
"I have reason to believe that (Precision Paving was) contacted by a representative or someone associated with Jacquin & Sons, and as a result, they didn't feel comfortable with proceeding with the project," Oravec said. "At this point, with all the third-party intervention directly through the lawsuit and perhaps indirectly through our subs, we felt like it would be a good idea to propose hitting the reset button on the bidding to reject all bids.
"We feel like that would reduce the likelihood that we'll experience continuing slowdowns or even a shutdown of the project due to third-party intervention. It clears any clouds hanging over this process, and I believe it makes the current lawsuit a moot point."
Precision Paving was one of three subcontractors the city hired for the Ravenswood project. Others included Bayview Construction Corp. and Certified Building Corp.
Pete Ramsdell, co-owner and vice president of Fort Pierce-based Precision Paving & Excavation, said Friday the company's decision to back out of the Ravenswood project had nothing to do with any contact with representatives from Paul Jacquin & Sons.
"We're a Christian company, and the project was too controversial," Ramsdell said. "We didn't want to get drawn into it or be in the papers every day. It has absolutely nothing to do with anybody contacting us."
Jacquin was taken aback by the city's decision to rebid the project and said he hoped the City Council would consider awarding the contract to his firm since it was the next lowest bidder rather than restart the bidding process over.
However, according to a city policy spelled out in the city's procurement documents, the city does not accept bids from parties engaging in adversarial relationships with the city, which means Paul Jacquin & Sons is prohibited from rebidding on the project, Oravec said.
"I think it's very unfortunate for the current subcontractors that have done nothing wrong, and I think it's unfortunate that the potential for cost savings can't be realized because of third-party intervention," Oravec said.
Oravec said the move to cancel the city's contract should not delay the project. He said initially the city included demolition of the current building as part of the overall bid. However, the city will proceed with demolition immediately, using an existing city contractor.
The actual construction would be bid out almost immediately and could take up to 30 days.
"I did not support the idea of having the city do the contracting when we voted on it and I don't want this project held up any longer. I want to move ahead, hire the private contractor who will give us the best value for the dollar, and assure the many construction industry professionals in this town that the city has no interest in taking work away from any of them," Mayor JoAnn Faiella said.

The Center for Independent Thought (CIT) owns and operates Stossel in the Classroom, the teaching series for middle and high school teachers based on the punditry of John Stossel, a FOX Business host who consistently denies the scientific evidence of global warming. CIT also serves as a pass-through organization for grants to Koch-affiliated organizations, according to CIT's tax filings.
The 2009 edition of ABC News' Stossel in the Classroom featured a segment explicitly telling students there is still debate "about whether or not human activity is the cause" of climate change (14 years prior to the Stossel lesson, even 'conservative' scientific authorities like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change considered climate change proven beyond reasonable doubt by 1995).
The Stossel in the Classroom segment included numerous debunked arguments, such as atmospheric CO2 changes lag behind temperature changes or that global warming is caused by the Sun. Stossel featured several scientists with direct or indirect ties to fossil fuel companies and front groups, including John Christy, Tim Ball and Roy Spencer, who famously labeled those who recognize climate science to be "Global Warming Nazi's." Stossel mocks the notion of a "denial machine," or a network of groups and people paid by fossil fuel interests to create doubt over climate science.
Teachers using the Stossel lesson plan were encouraged to ask questions such as, "If there is overwhelming evidence that global warming is a trend that will worsen and that we are causing it, why are people such as John Stossel questioning it?" The Stossel lesson plan encourages students to discuss quotes from people like Fred L Smith of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and instructs students to use the Internet to find the "Oregon Petition," a misleading petition co-published by the Exxon-funded George C. Marshall Institute.
Complimenting its misleading portrayal of climate science, Stossel in the Classroom has promoted fossil fuel use. The program hosted energy industry consultant Alex Epstein, who is paid by energy companies to claim that "fossil fuels improve the planet," gave a platform for author Jason Mattera that hollywood celebrities promote the "scam" of climate science, and hosted a discussion on "energy independence" with pundits from fossil-fuel funded think tanks (Robert Bryce of the Manhattan Institute and Jerry Taylor of the Cato Institute).
Through its funding and management, CIT and John Stossel are woven into Charles Koch's political influence network. CIT past and present board members include longtime friends and fellow donors within the Koch network, such as Wisconsin Club for Growth director Eric O'Keefe, and Cato Institute executive David Boaz, and New Year real estate mogel Howie Rich, married to CIT president Andrea Rich.
Even the content of Stossel in the Classroom is a direct product of Koch political institutions. According to Counterpunch, professors in the Koch-funded economics department at George Mason University, as well as the Koch-controlled organizations hosted by GMU--the Mercatus Center and the Institute for Humane Studies--are involved in creating material for Stossel and staffing his program.
Organizations founded and controlled by Charles Koch work closely with John Stossel, including the Cato Institute and the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. These organizations provide material and pundits that promote anti-regulatory, pro-corporate policies that mirror Koch's preferences. CIT acts as a pass-through for grants to the Cato Institute, the Reason Foundation and the Atlas Economic Research Foundation. CIT itself increasingly hides its own funding through dark money funnels like DonorsTrust and Donors Capital Fund, according to Media Matters.
John Stossel himself has participated in conferences put on by top climate denial organizations, such as The Heartland Institute and Americans for Prosperity.

In 2007, taxpayers in Indiana were in revolt. For the second time in three years, property tax bills had skyrocketed. In some cases, taxes shot up by 200 to 300 percent. The average increase in many counties was 30 percent.
Property owners, who marched on the governor's residence and the Statehouse by the hundreds, demanded relief. A movement to eliminate property taxes altogether was gaining traction.
Then a compromise emerged, one that ultimately served to calm taxpayers' anger. Gov. Mitch Daniels proposed to keep property taxes as a necessary source of government revenue but to cap them at 1 percent of the assessed value of residential property, 2 percent for farmland and rental property, and 3 percent for business property.
The General Assembly concurred with the plan in 2008 and put in motion a process that will culminate on Nov. 2 when voters will decide whether to amend the Indiana Constitution to include the tax caps. They should seize the opportunity to finally bring permanency to an issue that has frustrated property owners and confounded state legislators for decades.
Opponents of the referendum argue, and reasonably so, that the caps could trigger unintended consequences that will emerge in the years ahead. Making necessary adjustments would be difficult because of the constitution's rigidity.
Yet, that inflexibility also is a plus. If the referendum is approved, state legislators could not quietly or arbitrarily rewrite the property tax laws, something they have done repeatedly in the past.
Opponents also contend that the caps will starve local governments of needed revenue, leading to cuts in essential services. Again, there's some merit to that argument.
In Marion County this year the library system and the bus system have been forced to reduce services in part because of the tax caps. But in both cases, the agencies' fiscal problems run much deeper than the relatively small losses incurred because of the caps. The caps can't be used as a scapegoat for local governments' much deeper problems.
The caps also could have a positive effect on local governments by forcing consolidation, cooperation and other steps toward greater efficiency. There's evidence this already is happening.
In Marion County, consolidation of township fire departments has accelerated as financial pressures have increased. The General Assembly should speed that process next year by finally eliminating township government altogether.
Local governments also have been given important tools for replacing lost revenue. They now have greater flexibility in turning to local option and county option income taxes. School districts can ask voters to approve referendums that allow them to exceed the caps. The legislature should give libraries that same option.
As the tax caps were put in place, Hoosiers accepted a trade-off: a 1 percentage point increase in the state sales tax to offset lost revenue. If the caps are not made permanent, the public would run the risk of a double hit: a higher sales tax and, eventually, higher property taxes.
Amending the constitution to include specific tax rates is admittedly less than desirable. The ideal of a "clean'' constitution, one that is altered slowly and rarely, is important.
But sometimes a constitutional fix is necessary to ensure fairness and stability, and to resolve long-standing problems that defy purely legislative solutions.
The proposed referendum would accomplish those crucial goals. Voters should approve it on Nov. 2.

The eighth month of the FIT Challenge is now starting. I am glad we are past July because it was a month when I struggled with weight loss. I believe this past month will serve as a challenge for me, especially since the first six months went very well and the weight came off fairly easy.
I now know I have to increase my exercise and adjust my eating habits some more. I did ease up on the type of food I was eating, which obviously has made a negative impact. I wasn't eating more food, but I did make different choices in type while watching calories.
I continue to enjoy the FIT Challenge and feel I can still reach my goals, but I need to step up the pace. My health is still improving and I feel much better with more energy. I do know I am still a long way from being in the shape, both physically and overall health. The FIT Challenge is helping with both goals.
This past week I was on vacation taking several day trips and two overnight trips. I find myself watching what I eat, but I don't exercise like I should during vacation. I guess it is a good thing that this was my last scheduled vacation for the year.
This past week Derek Nimrichter of Bodi N Balance has tried to keep me on track and increase the workouts to help with calorie loss. We worked out July 27 and 28. Derek understands what I need to accomplish to be successful in obtaining my goals, but I need to increase the cardio on off days and watch what I eat and how often.


text: Greg Werner had eight months left on his lease-purchase agreement with Arrow Trucking before he was supposed to own his truck. For four years and four months, he had been paying nearly $500 per week toward his 2006 Kenworth T600. Werner's records show he only owed $14,000, plus a $100 fee at the end of the lease to change the title over into his name. However, when Murphy-Hoffman Co. – or MHC – contacted Werner after Arrow's chaotic collapse on Dec. 22, 2009, he was given a different amount that was owed on his truck. "I was told that 'Yes, this is a bad situation, but that we need our trucks,' " Werner told Land Line. Werner said he was told that Arrow bought the trucks in groups of three and that a total of $130,000 was still owed on those three trucks. "I was told they divided what was still owed on those three trucks and given a new amount I could finance my truck for," he said. The new amount was for approximately $48,000, plus interest. Werner had already paid Arrow more than $126,000 for his truck. Full Story

Don't get Randal Charlton wrong. The executive director at the TechTown business incubator in Detroit is thankful for a recent announcement of $5 million coming his way to help graduates of his FastTrac business training program launch their companies. But, he says, look at it this way: The money, granted by the New Economy Initiative, a Detroit-area philanthropic partnership, is not being thrown at comfortable entrepreneurs. This is, essentially, aid to the unemployed. And, as such, $5 million barely scratches the surface.
Many of the entrepreneurs to be helped by the First Step Fund, the entity created by NEI's $5 million investment, are not launching startups because it seems like a promising thing to do. They have nowhere else to go, Charlton says. Their former jobs in the auto industry are gone, never to return. Their choices are to leave the state or try to create their own jobs in Michigan.
This article provides detailed explanations of terms proposed in investor term sheets and the effects of these terms on the entrepreneur.

He emphasizes relationship management and problem solving as being fundamental to negotiation. He also alludes to the conceptual framework by illustrating examples from his vast global experience.

JetBlue said it would refund the cost of the ticket to all passengers diverted to Bradley Airport.
Passenger John Trombadore said that in his opinion, The airport officials were either incompetent or didn't care.
"Jet Blue has demonstrated a callousness towards its customers, towards the passengers on that plane, that I find hard to comprehend. They should have been preparing to allow the passengers off at 2.5 hours on the tarmac, they didn't do that," Trombadore said Monday on "Good Morning America". "Their apology really serves no purpose under these circumstances. This should have been a teachable moment and I'm not sure that the message was received."
Meanwhile, the weekend snowstorm that dumped as much as 2 feet of snow on New England stranded 48 passengers on an Amtrak train bound for Boston for 14 hours. Forty-eight people had to be taken to their destinations by bus after spending the night stuck on a train in central Massachusetts, according to The Associated Press.
The train from Chicago to Boston became stuck when it was blocked by a rockslide in Palmer, Mass., around 10 p.m. Saturday, according to Amtrak spokesman Vernae Graham.
Graham told the AP that passengers had electricity and heat the whole time and got free food and drinks. Michael Mahoney, one of the stranded passengers, told ABC News that the bus that finally brought them to the Boston area Sunday morning was still besieged by the effects of rough weather.
"It took us an hour just to get out of Palmer, there were so many trees down," Mahoney said.

Facebook integration announced for iOS 6
As expected, Facebook integration with iOS 6 was announced at WWDC today.
It will include the ability to log-in through the settings menu, share to Facebook through apps like Safari, Maps, iTunes, Game Center, and lots of other native applications.
Facebook will also be in the Notification Center so you can launch into a status update right from there. The App Store is now peppered with Like buttons. Contact list and calendar integration is a no-brainer, which will also be available on the Mac. Finally, there will be an API available for developers that want to get in on the fun.
More to come! Keep watching our liveblog!

Facebook integration announced for iOS 6
yeah i agree. not exactly the things i think about as i'm using my phone. That is i've never been in a spot and been like, "i so need twitter integrated here." But i don't use twitter or facebook a ton. i just started with twitter.
seems to me Apple is going after only low hanging fruit. Maybe i'm missing something but what i've heard so far doesn't seem worthy of a number upgrades. feel like ios 5.5.5. or something.
This is awesome. I have been waiting for something like this. I never use twitter, and the Facebook app I have now sucks.
I'll be happy to be able to share pictures to Facebook directly from the camera (without opening the FB app.)
Lets hope the FB app gets an update as my FB use has gone down to hardly at all because its so slow etc

Pineapple Orange Ice
|Ripe pineapple
|1 , peeled, quartered, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks to make about 4 cups
|10x confectioners sugar
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Orange juice
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|White rum
|4 Tablespoon
1. Working in batches if necessary, combine the pineapple, sugar and orange juice in a food processor. Cover; whirl until pureed.
Add the rum.
2. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch square metal pan. Freeze the ice until almost frozen solid, for 2 to 4 hours; stir the ice several times, especially around the edges, so the ice freezes evenly.
3. Transfer the ice mixture to the food processor or a large chilled bowl. Quickly process or beat the ice with an electric mixer until the ice is smooth and fluffy. Return the ice to the pan. Freeze the ice for 30 minutes. Process or beat the ice again until smooth and fluffy.
4. Freeze the ice, tightly covered, until almost firm, for 1 to 2 hours. If the ice freezes solid, soften in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

On election night next month, many eyes will be on Michigan, where voters will consider a proposal that would broadly ban race or sex-based affirmative action in all government programs, including college and university admissions. But while that may be the most visible state ballot measure related to higher education this year, dozens of others -- on such diverse issues as state tax and spending limits, eminent domain and gay marriage -- could significantly affect colleges and universities.

A packet with all the information was sent to me. I filled it out and sent it back. The table pad was sent to me within the time specified. I received an email with the tracking number and shipping information when it was shipped. Everything was good.
.Service is slow. From initial order to delivery was 2 months. Received template within 5 days and returned it. There is no notification of receipt of completed template or when the finished pad is shipped. It just appears. They do respond promptly to emails but I feel there should be more tracking information on the progress of the order. The product itself was a perfect fit an is of high quality.

They were great and I was really happy working with them and I would recommend them to others. They fit perfectly and they look great. The scheduling was really easy. They sent us a packet out right away which had the instructions for the measuring. They called me to verify everything before they actually made the product."
The experience was seamless, professional, and very accurate. I recieved several emails, clarifying, and at one point, correcting an error I had made regarding corner shaping of padding. I would have missed this, and the customized pad would have been my mistake. I have already recommended this opportunity to others.

Re: Check your battle.net accounts - D3 beta approvals sent out
i hated identifying stuff. I say good for them for taking that headache out. micromanaging stat points wasn't my idea of fun in d2 either.
I had a couple of really devastating hammerdins I built but there wasn't a lot of fun to it... just grind through dungeons for XP to put points towards skills and try to find unique weapons/armor/items that catered towards my build. It was a micromanaging stats build simulator with no real fun or game to it.
that was all after I played through it a couple of times without really paying much attention to what I was doing with stats and stuff and THAT was when I had fun playing it.

Customer Reviews of EVGA e-GeForce 8800GT Superclocked 512MB 256-bit DDR3 PCI-E 2.0 SLI Supported Video Card
Still best card for the money!9/10/2008
Though the 8800GT is an aging card, it is standing the test of time. So far it can run every game I thorugh at it. Crysis won't run on full (but what card CAN?), but I can get decent frames running on medium. Super boost from my 7600GS. EVGA is a great brand too. I have the option to trade up if needed. The Superclocked Ed. is a better buy, it is factory OC'd so you don't have to do it and potentially wreck your card! Plus, I can still re-use this card for physics processing thanks to new drivers. If you need an upgrade, this is still a good card to get.
Going to add a second sli card!8/29/2008
Very satisfied with this card. Excellent performance running everything from games to photo/video editing. I like it so much I am going to add another card to see how the sli works. Note – make sure you have plenty of power supply for running 2 cards on sli.
Video Gaming Happiness8/25/2008
I needed a good graphical upgrade for my Vista PC. I did some research, and decided I wanted a GeForce 9800-series card. The problem - I didn't have GeForce 9800-series money. I did, however, have the money for the EVGA e-GeForce 8800GT Superclocked. It turns out that I didn't make a bad decision in the downgraded purchase. The graphics are far better than the stock chipset, and with the on-board RAM, it gives faster reaction times and more FPS than with any stock chipset. Word of caution - this card DOES REQUIRE A 400 WATT POWER SUPPLY. If you do not have at least a 400w power supply with two power ports available, or one PCI-e power slot, available, you will need to upgrade your power supply to handle the card.
Works great!4/2/2008
Works great! No problems.
Excellent choice!2/27/2008
Excellent choice. This video card is everything everyone has said it would be. I have gained 15 or more fps on games versus what I had been getting with my ATI X1950XT. I got free shipping and buy.com delivered the product in about 4 business days. Out of many online purchases, this ranks at the top.

- //Ridley Bent
Vancouver based Ridley Bent is a bona fide national treasure. His 2005 debut Blam joined the likes of Buck 65's Talkin' Honkey Blues as one of the rare shining examples of functioning hick-hop, the unimaginable bastard child of hip-hop beats and country twang. Gripping such an unusual fusion by the balls for an introduction was a gutsy move on Bent's behalf, especially in light of his sophomore album. Buckles & Boots is a wonderfully recorded, pure country affair, but not that milky retard Garth Brooks party wank caricature of country that poisons CMT. Bent has a knack for developing compelling stories with fleshed out characters drawn from real life and when he parties, it's far less obnoxious.
"Nine Inch Nails" is positively awe-inspiring as he bases a tale of a brutally failed relationship around records they mixed up while stoned (she has all his blue country, he has her Tool and Soundgarden). He's the only country singer I've heard in the past 20 years outside of Willy Nelson to sing about smoking pot and getting high on rails. Only "Apache Hairlifter" remembers his rap leanings with a piano and fiddle led beat and a captivating narrative about Ridley's gun slinging cowhand granddaddy Lucky and his chance meeting with an escaped Apache prisoner (Ridley's granny). It's as riveting as it is transcendent. I mean, I'm a guy with a general hatred for most things that currently pass for country and I find Buckles & Boots totally compelling, on par with Blanche. He's got the goods.

Quantitative Measurements Of p95 Protein Expression In Tumors From Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated With Trastuzumab
Background: Expression of p95 in HER2-positive breast cancer is potentially a major determinant of trastuzumab resistance because p95 lacks the trastuzumab binding site while retaining kinase activity. Previously, an optimal clinical cutoff for a continuous measurement of p95 expression was defined in a training set of trastuzumabtreated MBC patients (Clin Cancer Res, 16:4226, 2010).
Clinical And Analytical Performance Of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Biomarkers
A variety of biomarkers are currently used to help guide treatment decisions for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These include mutation analysis for the EGFR and KRAS genes, along with gene rearrangement analysis for the ALK and ROS1 loci. In this study we have evaluated the clinical and analytical performance features of these assays in a series of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples.
Flow Cytometry For The Pharmaceutical Industry In A Central Lab – Clinical Trials Setting: Specific Challenges And Solutions
With the exception of some simple generic assays (such as lymphocyte T/B/NK Immunophenotyping, CD4 counting or progenitor counting) the implementation of pharma-client tailored flow cytometry assays within a multisite, multiplatform environment (central lab / clinical trials setting) in global longitudinal studies involves specific challenges that necessitate special processes and quality control procedures. We already addressed these well before flow cytometric assays became generally adopted in the clinical trials field.
Analysis Of Gene Expression Profiling Of Formalin-Fixed And Paraffin-Embedded Tumor Tissues From Preclinical Models And Patient Samples In Early Phase Clinical Trials
The objective of this study was to identify gene expression biomarkers that are potentially predictive for birinapant response. Birinapant is a novel small molecule that mimics endogenous Smac (Second mitochondrial-derived activator of caspases), by activating the programmed cell death pathways that are dysregulated in cancer cells.
Acquisition Expands Phase I Capabilities

Expediting Companion Diagnostic Development Through Collaboration
August 2011 cemented a remarkable two months for companion diagnostics, with the FDA posting draft guidance on companion diagnostics in July and then approving two cancer drugs and their accompanying tests weeks later. Zelboraf® and the BRAF mutation test for patients with metastatic melanoma were approved August 17, and Xalkori® and the corresponding Vysis ALK Break Apart FISH Probe Kit, which detects gene rearrangements, were approved just nine days later.
Examining Tau Phosphorylation As A Potential Alzheimer's Disease Biomarker

The Institute's 140 users relied on Excel spreadsheets and other manual processes that proved labor-intensive, inefficient, and a barrier to team communication.
Applications For Circulating Tumor Cells To Support Clinical Trials In Asia
Advances in our understanding of cancer have accelerated the development of new diagnostics over the past decade. Now, when assessing the efficacy of an experimental drug, clinical trial teams can supplement traditional markers from tissue biopsies with assessments on circulating tumor cells (CTC). The rollout of such tests has, to date, largely been limited to Western markets, but this is changing.

Magnolia Pictures
Given that this movie explores the possibility of another planet smashing into the Earth, you can't accuse filmmaker Lars Von Trier of not thinking big. Yet "Melancholia" never lives up to its high concept thanks to an interminably long and unnecessary wedding sequence and an overabundance of Von Trier's signature flashes of cruelty for cruelty's sake toward his characters (see "Dancer in the Dark" and "Breaking the Waves" — or perhaps don't).
