The process of neoplastic transformation can be conceptually divided into two components. The first of these, proliferative transformation, refers to the ability of transformed cells to bypass growth suppression signals, dividing when normal cells would not. The second, morphologic transformation, refers to loss of normal cytoskeletal architecture, often accompanied by decreased adhesion and acquisition of the ability to invade surrounding tissues. These two fundamental properties are intimately linked to one another, although experimentally they can be dissected apart through the use of mutant oncogenes and other abnormal signaling molecules. The overall focus this research is in uncovering the roles of protein phosphorylation in governing these two fundamental aspects of cancer biology.Description of research projects

Cordray to be nominated to head new federal consumer protection bureauWritten by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
President Barack Obama intends to nominate former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray to a new consumer financial protection bureau that was a central feature of the Dodd-Frank Financial Regulatory Reform bill that overhauled banking regulations.
White House and administration sources say Obama plans to announce the nomination Monday at the White House.
President Obama originally slated Elizabeth Warren, who has been assembling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) as a special adviser to the White House and to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, to lead the new agency.
Cordray would have to be confirmed by the Senate. Warren faced opposition in the Senate and would have had a difficult time wining confirmation.
Cordray now serves as director of enforcement for the agency.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee collected more 350,000 petition signatures supporting Warren's nomination.
"With her track record of standing up to Wall Street and fighting for consumers, Elizabeth Warren was the best qualified to lead this bureau that she conceived — and we imagine Richard Cordray would agree. That said, Rich Cordray has been a strong ally of Elizabeth Warren's and we hope he will continue her legacy of holding Wall Street accountable," said Stephanie Taylor, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee in a July 17 email.
Cordray was unsuccessful in his November 2010 re-election bid as Ohio's attorney general. He was elected in 2006 as Ohio's treasurer, then was elected in 2008 to finish the term of attorney general. Before that, the 51-year-old Democrat was treasurer of Franklin County, first solicitor general in the Ohio attorney general's office, a state representative and an undefeated five-time champion on the "Jeopardy!" television program.
On Dec. 15, it was reported that Cordray would be head of the enforcement division for the CFPB implementation team. Cordray spoke with Toledo Free Press from Columbus on Dec. 17.
The new CFPB will address all of the household financial products that matter in people's lives, Cordray said.
"Mortgages, credit cards, debit cards, student loans, payday loans, debt collection, credit reports, you name it. And our goal is to achieve greater transparency, comparability, fair treatment of consumers, and a system of household financial products that works for Americans and the economy and for the banks as well," he said.
The CFPB is expected to officially begin its work as an independent agency July 21. Its website, www.consumerfinance.gov was launched in February.

MPSF Indoor Championship Homepage
Final Heat Sheets (PDF)
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Cal State Northridge is in the homestretch of the 2013 indoor track & field season as the Matador men and women travel to Seattle, Wash. for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Indoor Championships Feb 22-23.
Fifteen of the West's top track and field programs participate in MPSF Championships competition in indoor track and field. The group is comprised of members of the Big West, Pac-12, and West Coast Conferences, and includes ten of the eleven Pac-12 indoor track and field programs. BYU, Colorado, Hawaii and Utah have joined the conference over the past two years. There are 12 men's teams coming to Seattle and 15 women's teams, as UC Irvine, Hawaii and Utah have women's teams only.
At last season's MPSF Championship meet on the same Dempsey Indoor track, the Matador women finished 11th with 11 points while the men were 12th with nine points. The highest finish for a CSUN women's team at the MPSF Championships was a second-place showing in 1993. The Matador women won the Big Sky Conference Indoor Championship in 1999 and also won the WAC Indoor title in 2007. The Northridge men have finished as high as fourth in the MPSF (1993) and were second in the Big Sky on two occasions (1998, 2001).
Northridge has had a solid indoor season in 2013, performing well at meets in New York (Great Dane Classic, NYU Team Challenge), Washington (UW Invitational) and Texas (Texas A&M Invitational).
Several Matadors come into the conferece championships this weekend ranked among the top-30 in their respective events. Donovan Toban, who comes in ranked eighth in the heptathlon, is the highest ranked CSUN athlete heading into the meet. Toban scored a season-best 5,061 points on the same track at the UW Invitational (Jan. 25). On the women's side, Jealinda Mills is in the top-10 in the triple jump after posting a season-best 38-6.75 (11.75) at the Great Dane Classic.
About the MPSF: Established in 1992 to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Pac-12, Big West, Mountain West, Western Athletic and West Coast Conferences and other selected universities in the western United States, the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation provides Division-I competition to schools whose primary conferences do not sponsor championships in selected sports.

How can we honorably serve those who have served?Written by Pam Hays | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Fact: Nov. 11, 1918, at the eleventh hour, the armistice or temporary cessation of hostility of World War I was signed. The Treaty of Versailles, which officially ended World War I, was signed June 28, 1918, even though fighting had ended seven months earlier.
In November 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 to be Armistice Day for honoring all World War I veterans. Parades marked the occasion and business was suspended all over the country at 11 a.m.
On May 19, 1938, Congress made Armistice Day a legal federal holiday.
In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed into law a bill proclaiming Armistice Day to be a celebration of all veterans. Congress amended the act later that same year to change the holiday's name and Veterans Day was born.
In 1968, Veterans Day was one of the days included in the Uniform Holiday Bill, which aimed to ensure federal employees had four three-day weekends each year. Beginning in 1971, Veterans Day was celebrated on a Monday no matter the calendar date, leaving behind the tradition of it being Nov. 11.
The change to the holiday caused confusion, so in 1975 President Gerald Ford signed a bill to return Veterans Day celebrations to Nov. 11, preserving the historical significance of the date.
Those are the facts of the day we know as Veterans Day in our country. But here is another fact that we have to consider: The sacrifices of our veterans deserve honor every day! Honor? How can we honorably serve those who have served?
It isn't only about parades, free meals at a restaurant or an ad bought in a newspaper to say "thank you." We can honor our veterans by voting for candidates who support veterans' issues. We can honor our veterans by supporting nonprofits that understand the challenges facing our veterans and get involved in veterans' lives by providing the understanding, caring and assistance our veterans need when government and social services leave huge gaps. We can show this honor by giving of our time, talent and money.
I sometimes hear statements that make me realize civilians are still very much in the dark about what it is like to serve in the military and then come home as a veteran, with or without wounds, and build a life. Some of this stems from the belief that our government provides for all the needs of our veterans and there is no need for outside nonprofits to be funded. After all, we have a huge budget in this country for services for our veterans, whether they be for health care, employment, counseling, suicide prevention, housing the homeless or judicial involvement.
The government funds more than 90 programs on veteran suicide alone, and yet nearly every single hour, a veteran takes his or her life! What this and other facts tell me is that services are not matching needs.
We have a lot of beautiful buildings in our country that are said to be "for veterans," but buildings don't bring about change; people do. A building might be beautiful, but if the services it houses make a veteran wait more than 30 days to be seen by a counselor it is a disgrace, not an honor. A veteran living in poverty, relying on family, friends and nonprofits to support their basic needs while the government system takes years to decide if their injuries are real and worth disability pay, even when clearly documented, is not a way to show honor. Relying on checked off boxes in a survey to get to know our veterans instead of building relationships that drive down stigma and open doors of opportunity to heal and move forward is not honorable; it's just an attempt at an easy fix.
We have a lot of outrage in our country over many issues, but I seldom see civilians outraged over the way our military and our veterans are treated. I see veterans outraged, but they are a small minority, maybe 3 percent of our country's population. Show honor to our veterans by becoming educated as to the truth about how our veterans are treated — not just the older veterans, but the younger ones as well.
Learn about the day-to-day struggles, their silent pleas for help, their invisible tears and how their needs are not being met. How can you become educated? Plan an event with your organization or your workplace that is civic-minded. It doesn't have to be for Veterans Day; it can be any day.
I spend a great deal of my time educating civilians and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you and your group about the challenges of our veterans and more ways to show honor to them. I can share with you the good news about all the exciting ways veterans are facing their challenges and are giving, productive members of our community and communities around our country!
It takes a community to lift up a veteran. Let's work together to ensure the veterans in our community are honorably served not for a day, but every day.

From the UFC stand point, this is the no-brainer move in the case of a Silva loss.
Scenario 1: Weidman wins the first one, wins the second one. The chance of dismissal as a fluke win is eliminated, Weidman makes a name for himself as a marketable fighter for being the guy who dethroned the most dominant champion in UFC history
Scenario 2: Weidman wins the first, loses the second. The rubber match sells a card that will undoubtedly field 1 million+ PPV buys and obviously a sold out arena (probably MGM Grand).
Beyond the business aspect, I think that if there is any fighter in the world who can be preemptively granted an immediate rematch in the case of a loss, its Anderson Silva.

License Renewal Fees:
As you may know, the renewal fee is evaluated each year and set to meet the budgetary needs of the program; however, it is difficult to predict if costs of regulation will decrease or increase in the future. Renewal fees help offset the operational expenses of the program and are an integral part of our commitment to work diligently to provide consumer protection.
If renewed on or before September 14, 2013:
The Active Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) renewal fee is: $130
The Inactive Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) renewal fee is: $130
The Active Provisional LPC (LPP) renewal fee is: $113
If renewed on or after September 15, 2013, a $15 delinquency charge is applied and the totals are:
The Active Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) renewal fee is: $145
The Inactive Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) renewal fee is: $145
The Active Provisional LPC (LPP) renewal fee is: $128
After October 31, 2013, your license will be expired and you must reinstate.
If you hold a PROVISIONAL license in any series (and have an active LPC, MFT, LSW, CSW, or PSY license), please check with your employer about whether or not you need to renew your provisional license.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the renewal for all mental health licenses, certificates, and registrations was delayed. Because of the delay, the late fee of $15.00 will not be included in the renewal cost until September 15, 2013.
All fees are Non-Refundable. The Division of Professions and Occupations cannot and will not take payment information over the phone. We will not request credit card numbers or checking account numbers via telephone.

You must reinstate if you exceed the 60 day grace period.

Healthcare Professions Profile—The Michael Skolnik Medical Transparency Act of 2010, section 24-34-110(2)(II), C.R.S., ". . . provides transparency to the public regarding the competency of persons engaged in the practice of certain health care professions in this state to assist citizens in making informed health care decisions." The Healthcare Professions Profiling Program ("HPPP") was created to implement the Michael Skolnik Medical Transparency Act of 2010. This Act expanded the Physician Profile program (Senate Bill 10-124) to 23 professions which are now required to create and maintain Healthcare Profiles that are viewable by the public. Applicants and licensees from these healthcare professions who submit an application for an initial license, license reinstatement, reactivation, or renewal in Active or Retired status are required to disclose specific information that can be accessed by the public. BY LAW, a license in these 23 healthcare professions CANNOT be renewed in Active or Retired status unless the licensed professional complies with the profile requirements. After creating Healthcare Profiles, licensees and applicants are required to submit backup documentation for specific "Yes" answers, e.g. disciplinary actions, surrender of DEA registration, criminal convictions, malpractice refusals, etc.
Continuing Professional Development: Active status licensees in certain mental health professions must submit their completed Continuing Professional Development (CPD) prior to renewing. You can complete and submit your CPD electronically: use the CPD Portal to access your account.
License types with CPD renewal requirements are: CACII, CACIII, LAC, MFT, LPC, LSW, CSW. Psychologist and Registered Psychotherapists do not have CPD requirements.
There are three methods to satisfy the CPD requirement:
1. Active Military Service Exemption
2. Deem Status
3. CPD Program entailing the completion of:
a) Reflective Practice,
b) Learning Plan, and
c) 40 Professional Development Hours.
For questions related to CPD, please visit www.dora.colorado.gov/professions and click on your profession in the list; then click the "Continuing Professional Development" button from the Board's homepage. Licensees may also email email@example.com or call 303-894-2363 for assistance.
During the licensing process, the Division asked whether you have ever been disciplined in any state, arrested, charged, convicted or pled guilty to a crime. After initial licensure, all licensees have a duty to report subsequent felony convictions and disciplinary actions. Some must also report misdemeanors related to the specific practice. Failure to disclose could constitute grounds alone for revocation of your license.
Licensure is a privilege, not a right. In order to obtain and retain the privilege, you must be completely honest. The Division conducts audits of its licensing database against several criminal and national disciplinary databases, which allows the Division to track subsequent criminal conduct and disciplinary actions after initial licensure.
An arrest, disciplinary action or subsequent criminal conviction does not mean an automatic revocation of your license. The board or program will look at the facts surrounding the criminal conduct and disciplinary action to determine whether you are still fit for licensure. Your license will not necessarily be revoked if you have been disciplined, arrested, charged or convicted, but your license will most likely be revoked if you fail to disclose it.
The Division of Professions and Occupations provides wall certificates for most license types in the Division. To place an online order click here

Wind: 0 mph
The Violence Against Women Act, S.1925, is a strong, bipartisan, filibuster-proof bill that will re-authorize essential laws and programs for another five years and build on effective, existing programs to meet the changing needs of victims of domestic and sexual violence. This legislation, introduced by our own Senator Leahy (D-VT) and Senator Crapo (R-ID), currently has 61 co-sponsors, including eight Republicans.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has yet to call the bill to the Senate floor for a vote that would demonstrate Congress' commitment to end this violence. Delaying this vote threatens the progress our country has made toward ending domestic and sexual violence and building safer communities.
VAWA saves lives and money – $12.6 billion in its first six years alone. I, as a survivor of violent crime, know firsthand the benefits and services offered through VAWA. Approximately $400 million in annual funding supports local law enforcement, prosecution, courts and victim services. Since its passage in 1994, all states have strengthened rape laws and the number of individuals killed by an intimate partner has decreased by 34 percent for women and 57 percent for men.
Critics of the bill fear that it will help "too many" victims. However, we should do all we can for all domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking victims. A vote for the Leahy-Crapo bill says, unequivocally, that "we will help you wherever and whenever you need help." The time has come for Senator Reid to call this bill to the floor and once again re-authorize this critical legislation. You can contact Senator Reid at www.reid.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm.
You can also contact our Vermont Senator Leahy at (800) 642-3193. Thank him for his support and let him know you want this vote called to the Senate floor.

Comparing iPhone weather apps at a glance
Comparing 27 iPhone weather app screens
After the Twitter for iPhone app comparison last week, my friend and Iterate podcast co-host Seth Clifford remarked that weather apps were the new hotness when it came to interface playgrounds for iOS designers. So, I jumped into the App Store, downloaded 26 popular weather apps, added Apple's built-in iOS weather app, and grabbed all their screens.
They tend to fall into two main categories -- informationally dense, and informationally minimalist. Some apps put everything, including a forecast for your kitchen sink, right on the main screen so you can soak in as much as you want at a glance. Others hide away everything but the essentials, and either let you dig deeper when you want to, or eschew complexity entirely. What's clear is that there are a ton of different takes. Some use buttons, some use gestures. Some are static, others dynamic. Some try to match weather with mood, others prefer a dashboard look. Some go for a full-on digital look, while others stick to more real-world analogs. In many cases, the diversity is as thoughtful as it is impressive.
Here, in order, from top left to bottom right, are:
- iOS 6 Weather (built-in), Today Weather, WeatherNeue
- Check the Weather, Weather 2X, Solar
- The Weather Channel, Haze, AccuWeather
- Weather HD, Partly Cloudy, Weather Live
- Weather Underground, Weather Bug, Blue
- Dark Sky, eWeather HD, [Daily Weather+](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/daily-weather?at=10l3Vy&ct=d_im /id528065804?mt=8&at=10l3Vy&ct=d_im)
- Pocket Weather Australia, WeatherPro, Fahrenheit (or Celsius)
- Degrees Canada, Weather Dial, Thermo
- [Weather+](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weather?at=10l3Vy&ct=d_im /id403692190?mt=8&at=10l3Vy&ct=d_im), Living Earth, swackett X
Of course, the weather screen proper is only one aspect of a weather app, and doesn't cover features like radar, videos, etc. Consider this comparison a starting point. For more on the individual apps, check out our weather app review series.
Still, look over the designs above and let me know what you think. Which weather apps do you use, and are they the same ones that appeal to you most in the comparison above? Any of the weather screens attractive enough they encourage you check out an alternative app?

Comparing iPhone weather apps at a glance
I iOS a quick pull down of the notif menu, giving you weather, agenda and reminders. On android widgets just did t work for me, especially as it was dificult to find the one that looks an fits it just right..
It's hard to get them all, but the author forgot one of the best: eWeather HD (it puts the current temp on the app's Homescreen icon): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/eweather-hd-weather-forecast/id401533966...
Look outside, I've never understood the need for everyone to want to put weather on the home screen in a widget or something else. I check the weather once in the morning, maybe at lunch and maybe at night. The good apps have forecasts and those usually don't change in a 12 hour period.
The Weather Channel is hard to beat because well.....It provides accurate weather and forecasting. The design is nice too along with the radar map.
I frequently miss the AIX weather widget and the WeatherBug live radar widget.
Added. Technically Celsius, as Fahrenheit wouldn't work for me, but they're both from the same company.
the following application is not listed : Daily Weather By Ketchapp - https://itunes.apple.com/co/app/daily-weather/id547739898?l=en&mt=8&at=1...
Not updated for iPhone 5 display? Sigh.
Weather apps are one of a few genres which most spectacularly highlights an oddly skewed facet of Apple culture, which is the frequent championing of design over truth. The 'truth' varies with app type: for weather apps, it's data. What matters most, and first, is the source of data the app uses. For where I live (Australia), you can immediately strike off most weather apps, regardless of UI/UX design, and however beautiful or minimal they may be, because the data they display can't be relied on. And I'm not raising minor cavils. I live in a large State capital city, and weather apps are often up to 5 degrees off for *current* temperatures. I've ended up with ShiftyJelly's Pocket Weather, which makes odd (OK, a euphemism) design choices, but uses the only data source really worth bothering with here (our marvellous Bureau of Meteorology).
I've repeatedly seen Apple highlight pretty apps with low truth values over others that are more functional or more reliable, but may be a little uglier or lacking in satisfying and frictionless affordances.
My tendency in general has been to defend Apple against charges that their success is largely due to marketing, because that is obviously just false. But the kernel of suspicion that motivates the charge has some genuine force. The culture that has grown around Apple products does often seem to have some disdain (or at least disregard) for truth. I understand this as an inevitable reaction to just how egregiously bad the user experience of mainstream software mostly was before Apple's rise. But there *is* something to the uneasy sense that Apple culture values style overs substance. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but in a very quick look over some of the reviews in the series linked to in this post, I could see no mention of the accuracy or otherwise of the apps reviewed. Shouldn't this be first? Why bother interacting with (or looking at) a weather app that doesn't tell the truth?
Weather apps don't "lie". However they may use info sources that may or may not be accurate for your location. There is a difference. In terms of Apple I think you are being overly harsh in your commentary. Apple will not and should not be responsible for testing weather apps in every corner of the globe. See the madness in that statement?
Not suggesting it, nor that Apple is solely responsible for the dysfunctional aspects of Apple culture. They're a lynchpin, and some of their decisions (particularly on the app store) don't help, but they're not the whole thing by any means.
Imagine a car review that waxed lyrical about colour, styling, steering wheel placement and
dashboard use, but never mentioned anything about fuel economy, safety, or anything about the motor. Analogues of that are common in reviewing iOS apps, and the weather app reviews linked to above (http://www.imore.com/tag/weather-apps) are typical.
(The primary antonym of true/truth is false/falsity, not "lie", btw. Most weather apps display false information about my location, so it's entirely irrelevant what they look like, or how pleasant they are to interact with).
Do you not realize that similar articles are often written about Android apps? In fact, the authors are often the same people. The issue isn't a dysfunctional culture related to a particular device or company. The issue is a dysfunctional culture related to the democratization of opinion and technology and especially the intersection of the two, e.g. "bloggers."
But shouldn't reviews help me to make that choice? Isn't that what consumer reviews are generally for? In what other product area would it even occur to a reviewer not to address basic functioning first?
I feel fairly certain that if you were to conduct a 365 day retroactive quality review of the weather services subscribed to by aforementioned weather apps that Rene would be pleased to post the information.
An appropriate review would include the recorded statistics as well as the percentage of deviation for cloud cover, humidity, precipitation, and temperatures (high and low).
I look forward to your report!
So the actual functioning of the app shouldn't even be mentioned in a review, just because a full empirical/scientific analysis isn't feasible? Don't you think the very minimum requirement might reasonably be a mention of the weather data source used.
I've tried about 20 different weather apps. Nearly all of them are *wildly*, not subtly, in error on most days. I choose to inform the developers rather than call them out publicly. Most of them respond to polite and detailed reports with indifference, and then continue false advertising (re accuracy etc). The *point* of journalism is to counterbalance this kind of advertising by exposing truth and facts. Otherwise it's little more than an advertising adjunct.
I use the Weather Channel along with the Apple stock weather app.
I have always used the default weather app just because of its system level tie-ins and it usually looks the best. It's not always the most reliable, but I can't convince myself to have another app when I already have one that looks fine. Weather Neue would be my second choice however.
I use four all the time. eWeather HD, MyCast, Radar Scope, and Hurricane (HD for the iPad) I have no problems with eWeather HD adding cities. I have Radar Scope on the iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro. I like MyCast for a quick check, and keeping track of hourly weather. Hurricane, and Hurricane HD are good in the off season to keep track of winter storms. I wish the Mac had the Hurricane app. The developer has been thinking about it.
I use Haze, my only complaint is not being able to add more cities, so I have Weather+ for that.
i just downloaded degrees and really likening it,and it shows the current temp on the home screen. seems to be accurate just outside of montreal where I'm from.
Added 4 more!
i used that one too,cool app
I fancy myself a storm chaser, so RadarScope is definitely necessary in my arsenal, but I also LOVE LOVE LOVE DarkSky. Works for snow too!
Added 6 more. All for now. Thanks for the recommendations folks!
I personally use both the default, and
Celsius (Farenheit, for you backwards-ass countries), because it shows me the weather, via my launchboard.
Hi Rene,
Missing our InstaWeather Pro app :(
I just recently downloaded AccuWeather for iPhone. I paid the extra money to get rid of the ads. But I can't seem to find the sunrise and sunset times anywhere within the app. Does anybody know if they are here and I just can't find them? I've scoured the app pretty well, in addition to searching the online support site. Am I the only sun chasing photography geek around? Okay, not looking for an answer to that question. Just the one about the inclusion/exclusion of sunrise/set times to the accuweather iPhone app.
Renée, Dark Sky is not available in the Canadian App Store. Of course, we Canadians have our ways of getting US app store accounts. Does the app work in Montreal? It seems it may work as long as you are close to the border. I'm in Vancouver.
Wx Alert USA. Not the cleanest interface and can be difficult to navigate through, but its weather alerts are simply the best. It allows you to set the alerts you want to receive and then it runs in the background and will announce an alert at full blast - perfect for setting when you go to bed if you are expecting severe weather overnight.
I also tried maybe all of these apps but I still prefer Apple Native Weather App.
I consider it more "professional" and good-looking
I just found "Haze" and realized most people just want to know if there is going to be a weather change in a simple format. If you are a fan of the list maker, "Clear" then Haze might be what you are looking for. Rather than touting features look into what Haze has to offer. You might just take your other weather apps and put them in a folder while keeping Haze on the front page.
Which of these Apps has clear and specific up-to-date information about weather in your specific area (town)? What I'm actually looking for is information such as "how many inches of snow or rain", "Snow will begin at 8pm and continue until 6am". Similar to what you get from your local weather broadcast. I use WeatherHD and as beautiful as it is, it seems to not contain this information. Or perhaps, I'm missing something.
Ja auf jeden Fall lohnt sich das nur noch mit den einer Prepaid Internet Flat http://www.prepaid-testsieger.de/
My ClearWeather app is missing. :-)
There apps worth paying for and there are apps NOT paying for. Regardless of the features, I can never justify paying for a WEATHER APP unless you're a meteorologist who needs information on the go.
For me, I use many of the free ad-based weather apps already mentioned with the Weather Channel , Accuweather and the native app being the main three that I typically cross reference with.
+1 for Weathercube?
From the territory of minimalist information and gesture based control but I like it.
My Two favorites are there: WeatherBug & eWeather HD also managed to post the 3rd one I keep around though don't use as much Fahrenheit. Nod to Living Earth and WunderMap to go along with the others on my iPads.

My go gear Vibe quit working!
Hello, I'm new to the Philips Support Forum but hopefully someone will know what to do to get my little GoGear Vibe working again. I've had it around two years and everything has been fine with it. I've only had to press the reset button once or twice but it always started working again. This morning I hooked it up to the computer to recharge it and when I unhooked it and tried to turn it on the initial PHILIPS screen comes on and then it reads " File System Error! " and then it turns off. Resetting it does nothing, it just behaves the same way. I can't get it to interface with my computer so that I can reformat it. Does anyone know what I should do to get it back working or has it just bit the dust. Thanks for any help.

Had you done anything new before charging? Like installing updates or adding files? Is the File System Error the only info that appears?

My experience at Dr. Stenglers office exceeded any single encounter I've ever had at any other office. The office itself is beautiful and very clean. I was greeted immediately and before I knew it, I was sitting with the doctor. My time with Dr. Stengler was something incredible. He spent an entire hour discussing my health issues and how to treat them. I could not believe how much some of my issues were directly related to each other. This was the most informative and eye opening visit I've ever had. My other doctors have me on so many medications and many are to treat the side effects of the ones they put me on before. I go back in 2 weeks to go over lab work and honestly, I can't wait! Speaking of lab work; I'm not an easy person to get blood from but the girl who drew me was really great, I didn't even feel it. All in all, I highly recommend Dr. Stengler and his staff.

Dr Stengler , whom I have had only phone appts. with since I live on the east coast, has always been very easy to communicate with including office staff. Mark is very thorough with my health needs and is aware of my local primary doc and what he is doing . He is fantastic about responding very quickly with questions I email him that are concerns of mine. If I lived close to Encinatas, CA he would def be my main doc. great doctor and feel blessed to know.

Being a native Californian health & fitness have always been very important to me. At age 47 I remain healthy & fit , however, peri-menopause reared it's ugly head with various health problems. I went to Chiropractors,Acupuncturist , and top Gyn's but still I was suffering from insomnia, joint pain and various female issues. The crazy thing was that I never realized Dr. Stengler was in Encinitas, CA and I in Newport Beach! I was so excited! After reading his books for years it was a true gift to meet him in person. Dr. Stengler is a truly brilliant Doctor who is beyond knowledgable. He spends quality time with you in a relaxed atmosphere, he is a totally focused listener, he is compassionate and caring and totally confident that he can help treat if not cure your ailments. He has a way with addressing all aspects of the body not just treating the symptoms. He believes in the connection of mind, body, spirit. I am so incredibly happy & proud to have Dr. Stengler as my Doctor.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Chattanooga Mocs volleyball team (0-4) fell 3-0 Thursday night to the Tennessee Lady Vols (3-1) in front of a record crowd of 1,532 in the first match of the Country Inns & Suites Invitational. Tennessee topped the Mocs 25-11, 25-22 and 25-21 in three sets.
The crowd of 1,532 is the largest crowd in program history to watch a Mocs volleyball match, topping the previous record of 1,311 against the Florida Gators in Gainesville, Fla.
"It's a tough loss for us, but it's hard to be disappointed," Head Coach Travis Filar said. "We had an amazing crowd tonight and they really got behind our team when we needed it most. The city of Chattanooga and the students of UTC were great tonight, and I saw a lot of things we did well on the court as a team."
Sophomore Briana Reid (Houston, Texas), normally an outside hitter, was called upon to fill the role of setter and did not miss a beat. The Texas native led the Mocs with 18 assists and totaled 12 digs, en route to her third double-double of the season.
"This isn't the result we wanted, but the atmosphere was phenominal," Reid said. "The fans gave us a lot of energy tonight and I believe we played well. We are a team that doesn't give up, even when the score isn't in our favor."
The Lady Vols jumped out to a dominating lead in the first set with a 25-11 final. Tennessee racked up four quick points before the Mocs could get a word in edge-wise, but it didn't take long for Chattanooga to get fired up in crowded Maclellan Gym.
In front of a "Packed Mac," Chattanooga and Tennessee went neck-and-neck to the finish in the second frame. Leading by as many as five points, UT saw the Mocs attack swiftly with five quick points to tie the stanza 20-20. Chattanooga took a brief 22-21 lead late, but Tennessee edged back to the front and a 25-22 win.
The third set of the match did not lack dramatics either as Tennessee garnered a 10-4 lead out of the gate. Finding themselves in the same place they were most of the night, the Mocs climbed out of the cellar and jumped out to a lead over the Lady Vols. Ten of the next 12 points were awarded to UTC, putting the Mocs up 15-13 and forcing Tennessee Head Coach Rob Patrick to call a timeout.
Tennessee went on to strike a six-point streak and take the match-set 25-21.
Reid led the Mocs with 10 points, adding three kills to the total, while freshman Allie Davenport (Tyrone, Ga.) took charge of the offense with eight kills. Sophomores Julimar Alvarado (San Juan, Puerto Rico) and Sarah Batterton (Colbert, Wash.) along with freshman Kendall Sexton (Orlando, Fla.) tallied five kills.
Sophomore libero Catherine Chason (Alpharetta, Ga.) led Chattanooga with 13 digs while Sexton totaled four blocks – two solo and two assisted – to represent the Mocs on the net. Junior Kasey Talley (Boiling Springs, S.C.) and Davenport each recorded two service aces.
The Country Inns & Suites Invitational continues tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. with Charlotte taking on UT Martin. The Mocs play again at 7 p.m. in a matchup with Charlotte.

Whether it's hitting deep home runs or gunning down runners, there's little that Wando outfielder Kep Brown can't do on the baseball field.
His feats on the diamond have garnered the rising high school senior national acclaim and college scholarship offers but this week he's hoping to put all the attention to good use for others.
As part of this year's Perfect Game All-American Classic, Brown is attempting to raise $2,000 for the Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego, California.
Rady is the largest children's hospital in California and is ranked by U.S. News and World Report as a national leader in pediatric cancer research.
Perfect Game is donating ticket proceeds from the annual all-star event and is encouraging each of its 54 high school All-Americans to participate in the fundraising.
While in San Diego preparing for the game, players spend time at Rady visiting with patients and playing with children. Brown says being able to use baseball to give back to those in need is one of his favorite parts of the game.
"Getting to help the children's hospital is the best part of this whole experience and the part I'm looking forward to the most," Brown said. "I've always prided myself in giving back and hopefully if baseball becomes my job, I can continue to give back to foundations like that."
This year's Perfect Game Classic will also feature a "Stand Up for the Fight Against Cancer" seventh-inning stretch to help raise awareness.
Those interested in helping can donate through Brown's Miracle Makers fundraising page. Since 2003, the Perfect Game All-American Classic has raised nearly $1 million dollars for charity.
"These kids need this money," Brown said. "Every penny counts and every donation can help save a life."
Brown is ranked as one of the nation's top 30 baseball players in the class of 2015. Last season, he helped Wando to 19 wins and a trip to the Class AAAA Lower State tournament.

Post-Doctoral positions
Several postdoctoral positions are available at the Multidisciplinary Imaging Group, Biomedical Imaging Research Center (BRIC), UNC-Chapel Hill.
Our focuses include better understanding of the neurophysiological mechanism underlying early brain development, normal brain functioning, as well as certain disease processes (including Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Parkinson's Diseases, etc) using resting-state fMRI, task-based fMRI, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
Successful candidates should have research experience in at least one of the three modalities (i.e., resting-state fMRI, task-based fMRI, and DTI) and have a Ph.D degree in Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Biostatistics, or related fields.
Good command of programming tools including C/C++, Matlab, Linux, and scripting are desirable. In particular, one of the positions will focus on twin genetic study on normal brain development so those with twin study experience are encouraged to apply for this position.
Successful candidates will be part of a diverse group including radiologists, psychologists, physicists, biostatistician, and computer scientists and will build upon the group's previous work on functional brain imaging study.
If interested, please contact Wei Gao (firstname.lastname@example.com), Assistant Professor, Department of Radiology and BRIC, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
