With an astounding fifteen and a half days of third grade left, the children continue to be introduced to new and valuable information each day! In Science, we will wrap up our work on energy with some really cool, hands-on activities and experiments. The students will learn about potential vs. kinetic energy and will visit each of our five third grade teachers for a look at five different types of energy! During our Kaboodle time, your child will finish up his/her work on the area that he/she chose as an area of interest. These areas are: rocks & minerals, the Solar System and animal habitats.
In Social Studies, we will spend some time wrapping up our learning about the American Revolution. The children will also learn about the Puritans and their similarities and differences when compared to the Pilgrims and we will take a closer look at Falmouth's history! Of course, each child will be completing his/her research of a historical figure with ties to Massachusetts in preparation for our one-of-a-kind Living Wax Museum! Speaking of which, here are the details for homework for this week:
At home, students should be preparing to "become" their characters… This week's homework is to design some type of appropriate costume, choose 3 relevant props to go on display, and finalize his/her speech. All students should attempt to memorize their speech before the 8th. It is much more interesting to listen to a presentation that has been practiced many times J.
These tasks are this week's homework. This will give students plenty of time to prepare. Please be sure that your child takes this opportunity to work hard. Speeches (completely written), props and costumes should be brought to school on MONDAY, JUNE 6. (A friendly reminder…no weapons or furniture, please.)
On the 8th, we will have a dress rehearsal from 2:00 – 3:00 at school. (Costumes will already be here.) That evening, we will have our performance at 6:00pm. Students should WEAR their costumes (which will be sent home at the end of the school day), and arrive a bit early to be set up and ready to go. Parents will be asked to remain outdoors until we throw the doors open for all to enter.
PLEASE email me with any questions you have as our exciting day approaches!
Also: Friday is our field trip to Aptuxcet Trading Post Museum. Children should bring a bag lunch (unless you sent in the slip last week ordering a school bag lunch) and wear sneakers, a hat and sunblock. Thanks, in advance, to all of our drivers!!

Throughout the offseason, GoMocs.com plans to check in with all 12 of UTC's head coaches to see what goes on during the summer months with each program. With men's golf, softball and track & field still competing, there is a lot left to the 2013-14 season. However, some of our teams have already wrapped up play and are looking to next year.
Men's tennis head coach Carlos Garcia has been working hard since his team hosted the 2014 Southern Conference Championships in April. The Mocs have to replace their lone senior, Jorge Varon, but welcome back six letter winners.
Coach Garcia just wrapped up his 13th season at UTC and took time out for the Q&A below.
What does the offseason look like for your returning student-athletes?
"It is a combination of summer internships and playing in competitive tournaments. We try to encourage guys to play in 4-6 tournaments if possible, but some also have other obligations they have to attend to in the summer.
"We do have some that are going to be playing the ITA Summer Circuit that has branched out into different areas of the south and in Florida. We have a couple who are going to try to play 2-3 of those.
"We do have a couple who have some great academic internships. They need it to complete their degree requirements.
"Pavels Grigorjevs is doing one in Cherokee, N.C., right now. He is also going to Texas later in the summer to intern with a racing manufacturer. That is right up his alley. Being a Mechanical Engineering major, he loves the technical side of engineering and automobiles.
"Luke Saunders has an unbelievable summer planned. He is working as a marketing intern with the Austin Aces of the World TeamTennis league. They have Andy Roddick as their marquee player, along with the reigning Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli. They also have the runner-up in Wimbledon doubles, Treat Huey. It should be a very good experience for Luke.
"I am hoping Derrick Brown and Austin Boaz will be able to come up to the Tennessee Valley Open Championships at Manker Patten. We would like to have 4-5 guys in that field. It is a great collegiate tournament here in Chattanooga that has some professionals playing in it as well. They are going to play some of the ITA summer circuit as well."
Pavels is your lone senior and top returner next year. Are looking for him to be a leader on the team?
"He moved up and got adjusted to the No. 1 position, but it was a little difficult in the beginning. He finished the year playing and carrying himself around the court like a No. 1 player. I think that was a great character-building year for him.
"I look for him to come in and be my captain next year. Part of being a captain is leading on and off the court. His work ethic is right up there among the best of my returning players. He is not the most-get-in-your-face type of player, but he does lead by example and that is fine with me."
I don't think a lot of people know this, but you are ranked pretty high in your age group in the WORLD. Talk about your extended playing career and how it is going.
"Even as a young 50-year-old, I still have a desire to compete. There are windows during the year I can take advantage of, and I am still lucky to be able to get out and compete.
"Recently, I took part in the ITF World Championships in West Palm Beach, Florida. That is the caliber of tournament I would love to expose myself more in the future if given the opportunity. The ITF are tournaments that establish world rankings and there just are not a whole lot of those in the States. It is awfully nice to compete against players from other countries and I try to do that as often as I can.
"I played and lost (8-6 in the third) to the No. 15 player in the world in a four-hour marathon match. That's the only ITF Tournament I was able to play since it was in Florida. It travels the world on a yearly basis, it just happened to be in Florida this spring. We had some success in doubles and I am now in the top-200 in the world 50s doubles rankings."
That kind of exposure has to have networking benefits that help recruiting?
"I made probably a dozen contacts when I was in West Palm Beach this past month, and I was able to expand those even more. A lot of the players we are competing against have academies or know of top youth players in their countries. I gave out a dozen cards and am already in touch with a few that are going to keep Chattanooga on their list if some prospect comes across their path.
"I played against guys from South Africa, Mexico, Canada, so it is a chance to get our program out on a world scale. If you look at our roster, it certainly has an international flavor and we have definitely benefited from those relationships."
One of your internationals on the roster is Lucas Plesky. He did not play last season, but is he expected to have an impact in 2015?
"I am looking forward to having Lucas eligible in January 2015. He is going to be a top player here and has a bright future for the Mocs. He will have three years of eligibility after sitting a full year in residency. He would have been in one of the top positions if he was eligible this past season. He just has to fill his year of residency and then he will have a huge impact."

Hey there! How's it hangin'?
I'm doing pretty well. Probably has something to do with the whole only working 4 days this week thing…
Whatever gets me through, right?
Also, it helped that Sunday was relatively quiet.
Brunch was had with a few awesome blogger ladies. But there's no real evidence of it other than a fuzzy picture taken by Paige. Not normal behavior for me. I'm usually somewhat camera happy at such events. Guess I was too busy talking and inhaling food from the brunch buffet.
Weirdly enough, I didn't prep a meal for myself at all yesterday. My roommate has gone a little stir crazy over the last week or so due to her current job seeking status. So she's taken on a few new hobbies. One of them would be trying out the gym by our place with me.
Another would happen to be cooking.
If you knew my roommate, you would know this is not normal behavior.
I'm starting to wonder if she's possessed.
However, I only benefit from her new habits, so there shall be no complaints from the peanut gallery.
Only nods of approval as I stick a fork in my face.Tex Mex Chicken Casserole.
First it was biscuits and gravy at brunch and now this.
I was clearly in the mood for serious comfort food. Not normal. But welcomed.
We had our little family dinner in front of the tv. Aladdin was on.
Abc Family really came through for me this last weekend. Boy Meets World on Saturday morning. Disney classics Sunday evening. Good stuff.
Bailey said Aladdin was one of the first movies she remembers seeing in the theaters. According to my mom, mine was Milo and Otis. However, I actually remember going to see The Little Mermaid much better.
Now it would be your turn to tell me the first movie you remember going to.
Aaaaaannnnnddddd GO.

Overview | Day 1 | Day 2 | Download Brochure
7:00am – 6:30pm Registration Open
7:30 Morning Coffee
8:30 Ion Channels as Therapeutic Targets: Minireview & Chairperson's RemarksPeter Haddock, Ph.D., Group Leader, Ion Channel Group & CNS Biology, PfizerThis presentation will review a selected number of recent publications in the field of Ion Channel Biology and Drug Discovery. Dr. Haddock will present a synopsis of several papers in turn that have contributed to the Channel field in the last year and set the stage for the conference to follow.
9:00 Ion Channels as Therapeutic Targets to Modulate Cell ProliferationGeorge K. Chandy, M.D., Ph.D., Professor, Physiology & BioPhysics, School of Medicine, University of California - IrvineIn 1984, potassium channels were discovered in lymphocytes and shown to regulate lymphocyte activation. Since then, ion channels have been described in diverse non-excitable cells and their role in regulating cell proliferation, transformation and apoptosis is better understood. Ion channels in non-excitable cells are viable therapeutic targets for many diseases. This presentation will highlight two potassium channels, Kv1.3 and KCa3.1, and the blockers we are developing as therapeutics for autoimmune diseases and atherosclerosis
9:35 Improving Ion Channel Lead Generation Capabilities by a Multi-Disciplinary ApproachMichael Dabrowski, Ph.D., Head of Global Ion Channel Initiative, AstraZenecaWe identified a number of scientific and technological gaps impairing the rational pursuit of ion channels as a target class. In order to rectify this situation, identify novel solutions and enable proper ion channel lead generation we employed nine senior postdocorates in chemistry, electrophysiology, molecular and cellular biology. The group works as a team on common themes: Chemistry, Screening Technologies, Assay Refinement and Ion Channel Expression. In this talk several examples of novel solutions and technologies will be presented reflecting how the tractability of ion channels has improved.
10:10 Grand Opening Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall
10:40 Effective Screening Strategies to Expand the Pharmacology of Ion Channels and Pave the Way for the Next Generation of Ion Channel TherapeuticsLaszlo Kiss, Ph.D., Senior Research Fellow, Merck Research Laboratories
11:10 in-vitro and in-vivo Pharmacology of Novel TRPV1 AntagonistsAnindya Bhattacharya, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, Pain & Related Disorders, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research and Development LLCTRPV1 is a polymodal nociceptor that offers hope as an analgesic drug target. The objective of this presentation will be to review industrial TRPV1 drug discovery efforts including ours, discuss challenges and explore opportunities/benefits of TRPV1 intervention by small molecule antagonists. One of the key focus areas will be to discuss TRPV1 in-vitro screens used during HTS and/or lead optimization with a view of predictability/translatability of the pharmacology to in-vivo efficacy either in a pharmacodynamic or 'diseased' model of pathology. Some of the practical issues in a screening paradigm (species difference, recombinant versus native TRPV1, hemi-equilibrium versus equilibrium pharmacology, PK-PD and ADMET) will be presented in context of the continuum of TRPV1 drug discovery.
11:40 PANEL DISCUSSIONProgressing at an Accelerated Pace in Ion Channel Drug Discovery—Meeting the Top Two Challenges:
Peter Haddock, Ph.D., Group Leader, Ion Channel Group & CNS Biology, Pfizer
- Anindya Bhattacharya, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, Pain & Related Disorders, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research and Development LLC
- George K. Chandy, M.D. Ph.D., Professor, Physiology & BioPhysics, School of Medicine, University of California - Irvine

12:10pm High-Throughput Profiling of Ion Channels in Primary Human CellsMichael Mayer, Ph.D., Department of Biomedical Engineering and Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Michigan
This talk presents a high-throughput method to quantify the functional activity of potassium ion channels in primary human lymphocytes. This method is rapid, automated, specific (here for the voltage-gated Kv1.3 ion channel), and capable of measuring, in parallel, the electrical currents of over 200 individual lymphocytes isolated from freshly drawn blood. The statistics afforded by high-throughput measurements allowed direct comparison of Kv1.3 activity in different subsets of lymphocytes, including CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, γδ T cells, regulatory T cells, and B cells. Moreover, the results suggest that Kv1.3 ion channel activity can be used as a functional activation marker in T cells. High-throughput measurements made it possible to compare the activity of Kv1.3 channels in lymphocyte samples from multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with lymphocyte samples from healthy control subjects. We show that patients with progressive forms of MS have significantly increased Kv1.3 activity in peripheral T cells compared to controls. In the context of RA, preliminary data demonstrate that Kv1.3 activity may be a better biomarker for disease activity than existing markers such as C-reactive protein. We propose that profiling ion channel activity in primary human cells presents an enabling methodology that may be useful for diagnostic applications, therapeutic monitoring, drug screening, and drug safety testing.12:40 Sponsored by Development And Validation Of Compound Profiling Assays For Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels Using Automated Electrophysiology Jeff Clare, Ph.D., Director, Ion Channel Group, MilliporeVoltage-gated sodium channel (NaV) inhibitors are an important class of drugs used to treat a variety of indications including arrhythmia, pain, local anaesthesia, epilepsy and bipolar disorder. Despite the indispensable role of NaV channels in mediating action potentials throughout nervous, cardiac and muscle tissues, drugs that inhibit these channels are remarkably well tolerated. This is thought to be largely due to their voltage- and use-dependent mechanism of action whereby the extent of block is greatly increased during periods of repetitive firing or sustained depolarisation as may occur, for example, during seizure activity or pain signalling. Interest in NaV channels within the pharmaceutical industry has been intensified by the discovery of human mutations in NaV1.7 that confer remarkable inability to sense pain in otherwise healthy individuals. Other subtypes have previously been implicated in pain signalling (e.g. NaV1.8 and 1.3) but, until recently, the development of subtype selective inhibitors has proved extremely challenging and the therapeutic utility of such blockers remains an important issue.This presentation will describe the development and use of a panel of robust assays for profiling the selectivity of compounds against each of the NaV subtypes, from 1.1 to 1.8. These assays use two different automated electrophysiology platforms (Ionworks and PatchXpress) and have been validated for detecting use- and voltage-dependent inhibition.
12:55 Luncheon Technology Workshop (Sponsorship Available) or Lunch on Your Own
1:40 Session Break
2:20 Chairperson's RemarksMichael Mayer, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering and Chemical Engineering, University of Michigan
2:25 Antagonism of the TRPV1 Channel and ThermoregulationNuria Tamayo, Ph.D., Principal Scientist, AmgenThe vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1, TRPV1) is a non-selective cation channel that can be activated by a variety of noxious stimuli, including capsaicin, extracellular acidity and heat. It is expressed in primary afferent neurons and is upregulated following inflammation and nerve injury. Antagonism of this channel is considered an attractive approach for the treatment of chronic pain and inflammatory hyperalgesia. We have recently advanced a TRPV1 antagonist, AMG 517, into clinical trials as a new therapy for the treatment of pain. However, in addition to the desired analgesic effects, AMG 517 significantly increased body core temperature following oral administration. Here we will discuss our two approaches to eliminate or minimize the on-target hyperthermic effect.
2:55 Discovering Small Molecule CRAC Channel InhibitorsKen Stauderman, Ph.D., Vice President, Research, CalciMedica
CalciMedica's drug discovery strategy targets CRAC channels. CRAC channels are key components of the Ca2+ signaling pathway in immune cells, which is essential for adaptive immune responses. CalciMedica has acquired exclusive rights to the molecular components of CRAC channels (Orai1-3 and STIM1-2) and is using these molecules to screen for novel small molecule inhibitors for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
3:25 E Unum Pluribus: One Platform, Three Programs Arthur M. "Buzz" Brown, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO, ChanTest CorporationChanTest's 120-member ion channel library (ICL) is being validated and optimized for PatchXpress 7000A, IonWorks Quattro and FLIPRTetra (Automated Patch Clamp-Fluorescence). The single ICL-APC/Fl platform supports three programs: services, supplies and drug discovery. For services, ICL "books" can be arranged for screening according to tissue (Cardiac or CNS Channel Panels), therapeutic area (Pain or Seizure Panels) or channels family (Nav 1.x, Cav x.y). For supplies, "books" are customized by instrument for purchase. For discovery, the ICL-APC/Fl platform can be screened with diversity or ion channel-focused compound libraries or repurposed drug libraries. Examples of the different program applications will be presented
3:55 Networking Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall
4:30 Sodium Channel Drug Discovery in the Era of Automated High-Throughput ElectrophysiologyNeil A. Castle, Ph.D., Director of Biology, Senior Research Advisor, Icagen Inc.Voltage-Gated sodium channels are excellent targets for development of drugs to treat neuroexcitatory disorders like pain and epilepsy. Identifying novel drug candidates has historically been a challenge due in part to the complex structural conformational changes that occur during Na channel gating, and the fact that many compounds only interact with specific gating states. The development of high-throughput planar patch clamp electrophysiology technologies like the PatchXpressTM and more recently the Ionworks QuattroTM have provided opportunities to effectively use automated electrophysiology in the hit and lead identification stages of sodium channel drug discovery. In this presentation we will describe how we use both of these platforms to support target and assay development, as well as screening and hit to lead progression.

Alex Molitz, the chef who helped turn Farmhouse Tavern into a Toronto food destination, is taking his talents to the real-life countryside. Molitz recently left Farmhouse and took a new job as head of culinary operations at the Hinterland winery in Prince Edward County. He's got big plans for the project. "It'll change the face of Prince Edward County," he said. "If everything goes right, this is going to be a game-changer." Despite the grand plans, he's taking things one step at a time. Right now, that means developing a simple lunch menu for guests at the winery. The food will be familiar to anyone who's enjoyed Farmhouse Tavern's mammoth meat boards and foraged herbs. "It's going to be rough and rugged, cool-looking food. Food that has a story to it," Molitz said. He's looking forward to roughing it a little, although he suspects some things may take a little getting used to. "I have to learn to shovel pig shit," he said.

Gamay Days: David Lawrason picks nine of his favourite gamays, from France to Niagara
Gamay is often known as the grape that makes lowly beaujolais nouveau, the gassy juice that's sold only weeks after the grapes are picked. However, top-notch gamay can be silky, fruity and rich, yet light—the perfect red for late-summer evenings. The best ones in the world come from 10 cru villages strung out along the slopes of Beaujolais, where 99 per cent of the vineyards are devoted to gamay. The 2009 and 2010 vintages from these appellations are excellent, and the LCBO has released some great buys under $20 at Vintages. Here in Ontario, winemakers plant gamay because it ripens early and ought to be a winner in our short growing season. In a tasting of gamays from Beaujolais, Niagara and Prince Edward County, however, I found our local editions were thin and joyless by comparison, likely due to cooler temperatures. The trick to buying good Ontario gamay, then, is finding a hot vintage; luckily, 2010 was warm and long, and it's on LCBO shelves now. Here are my favourites, from France to Niagara.
Casing Prince Edward County: five fabulous, under-the-radar wines
$35 | Prince Edward County | 90 points
Gerry Spinosa and his family planted their first vines behind an old cheese factory in 2004. Their ethereal chardonnay has already won two gold medals at the Ontario Wine Awards. The texture is delicate and silky; spicy oak, nutmeg and resin need a year of aging to integrate with the ripe peach and honey flavours. 1106–1112 Royal Rd., Milford, 613-476-1052.

Knights thump Bulls 12-1
A game that began with a blast for the Durham Bulls ended with the shortest outing by a starting pitcher and their most lopsided loss, a 12-1 setback against the Charlotte Knights at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
In the bottom of the first, Kevin Kiermaier started to trot to first base before plate umpire Seth Buckminster called a strike to set up a full count. Kiermaier then blasted the next pitch from Knights starter Jason Berken (10-11) for a leadoff home run.
But that was the extent of the offensive highlights for the Bulls (74-47) in the opener of a three-game series with Charlotte (57-63).
After retiring the side in order in the first inning, including a pair of strikeouts, Bulls starter Merrill Kelly (6-3) didn't make it out of the second inning. In all, Charlotte sent 11 batters to the plate, notching seven runs before a double-play grounder by Travis Ishikawa ended the string of nine straight Knights reaching base.
"I don't know; I'm sure he's not happy," Bulls manager Charlie Montoyo said when asked Kelly's reaction to being replaced so early. "He just gave me the ball; he didn't say anything. He pitched well.
"The game was over in the second inning — that's tough. They found the holes. There's nothing you can do."
Ishikawa, Mike McDade and Andy Wilkins opened the barrage with singles, the latter driving in the tying run. Tyler Greene drew a walk to load the bases, then Bulls first baseman Vince Belnome hesitated after field a grounder by Bryan Anderson before throwing the ball well over catcher Jesus Flores to allow McDade to score.
Adam Heisler's single plated Wilkins, and Marcus Semien added a two-run base hit to center. A walk by Steve Tolleson loaded the bases again, and Brent Morel singled in two more runs to end the night for Kelly. Bulls reliever Frank De Los Santos got Ishikawa to ground into the double play that drove in Tolleson, then McDade flied out to right to end the inning.
"It's just one of those days when stuff doesn't go your way," Kelly said. "A lot of those ground balls were just inches away from being fielded, turning a double play — that's baseball sometimes. Sometimes they go in the glove and sometimes they don't.
"I didn't feel like I pitched too bad. ... The balls weren't being hammered. ... You just try to forget about it as fast as you can. I've pitched well until tonight."
In the fourth, Ishikawa's one-out RBI double led to another pitching change with two runners on base. McDade greeted Durham's Adam Liberatore by hitting his first pitch over the fence in left-center for a 12-1 lead.
But Liberatore settled down after that, striking out the remaining five batters that he faced.
C.J. Riefenhauser followed Liberatore on the mound, pitching two hitless innings while striking out three. Catcher Craig Albernaz pitched the ninth inning, giving up one hit while notching one strikeout.
"They didn't have another hit until Albernaz pitched (the ninth inning)," Montoyo said. "(Liberatore) was working in the bullpen with (pitching coach Neil Allen) today, and I guess he found something.
"Riefenhauser pitched good; we needed an innings like that. It wasn't all bad."
NOTES — Belnome led the Bulls' eight-hit attack with a pair of singles, while McDade had three for the Knights. ... Durham reliever Josh Lueke was promoted to the Tampa Bay Rays after Thursday night's 7-3 win over Rochester snapped a season-high four-game losing streak, leaving the Bulls with 23 players on the roster. ... Matt Buschmann (5-1, 3.21 ERA) is scheduled to pitch today's game for the Bulls against Charlotte's (Nick McCully (2-1, 7.88). Durham will have J.D. Martin (14-4, 2.84) on the mound for Sunday's 5:05 p.m. game vs. Charlotte's Zach Stewart (5-13, 5.02).

They do have a reputation for being incredibly friendly... My mother doesn't even mind talking to mormons because she knows when they offer to help her with something, they really do mean it... not like those scummy JWs!
I have to feel sorry for the mormon missionaries here in Australia during the summer... 45 degrees celcius (113 F) and they are riding around on push bikes with full length black pants and a tie around their neck.
I suspect that if they weren't likable, then no one would listen.
I wonder how long you could get them to help with the household chores. I'll listen to you if you help me peel these vegetables. Okay...great...I see....god and stuff...now you vacuum while I dust...and you can try and talk over the black and decker. There's still so much I don't understand...help me fertilize the flower bed with cow manure. Mhm...that's so interesting...the Jesus guy seemed swell...ever done an oil job? Oh I see...come down to the basement with me...could you help me wash out the pee stains of my children's sheets and blankets...do you think Jesus wet the bed as a child? Oh look where the time has gone. I have so many questions...see you tomorrow at say...2pm?
There was a Mormon church-- temple-- tabernacle-- mosque-- kennel-- whatever, close to my hometown in Massachusetts. Never saw one Mormon.
I suppose that's good. Mormonism, a 19th century confidence game run amok, is the world's stupidest religion, except maybe for Scientology. I would keep that opinion to myself during most chance encounters, but two necktied, backpacked prosletyizers on my doorstep are fair game.
Julia Sweeney...Letting go of God...start at 7:39 if you prefer.
Why are these guys so damn likable? C'mon, you know it's true...
What is so likable about brainwashed idiots? What do they know about anything except mimicking a cat rolling around with a catnip toy.
And when the prophet Smith was killed in a gun battle while he was in jail, one account states that a man tried to decapitate Smith for a bounty, but was prevented by divine intervention !
Has anyone seen the movie Tabloid? It's a documentary about a Wyoming beauty queen with an IQ of 168 who fell in love with a mormon more or less on first sight (FOR SOME WEIRD REASON BEST KNOWN TO HERSELF), with adventurous consequences. She was unable to keep him but she never got over him and never had another boyfriend for the rest of her life. On the one hand she seems a bit mad, on the other hand she's very likeable. She certainly makes good use of that IQ.
Mormonism certainly frightens the shit out of me. I'm steering well clear of them forever.

Red Hat Developer Studio Beta Released
Red Hat Linux has just released a beta version of its Red Hat Developer Studio. The developer environment, which is based on Eclipse, is targeted at facilitating the development of new applications for Red Hat solutions, and migrating existing applications.
According to Red Hat, the integrated development environment (IDE) targets Jboss middleware and enterprise distribution, and has been released fully under Open Source licenses
Besides Red Hat's own core products, offers by Red Hat's strategic partner Exadel will also be offered to developers. The combination of in-house middleware with Exadel tools should help to facilitate the development of SOA components and Web 2.0 applications. The tools include Exadel Studio Pro, the RichFaces framework for development of Java Server Faces (JSF), and the Ajax4jsf Framework for integration of Ajax technologies with JSF applications. Red Hat Studio also gives developers a Java environment with WYSIWYG functionality.
Developer Studio is available for Linux and Windows and can be downloaded here. Red Hat will be publishing the final version, which should be available this summer, under GPLv2. Distribution will use subscription channels.

Rathbun: How not to invest in precious metalsWritten by Gary Rathbun | | firstname.lastname@example.com
In part two of this series, I will look at some ways not to invest in precious metals. That is not to say any of the following are bad investments — they're not — just that there are better ways to invest in metals if you are going for an inflation hedge and as insurance against really bad things happening in the economy.
One of the worst methods of investing in precious metals is through rare coins or numismatics. When you purchase a numismatic gold coin, say a 1929 double eagle, you are paying for not only the gold content but also the rarity and the grade or condition of the coin. Now, on a couple of fronts we can objectively evaluate the coin. We know how many were struck and how many are known to exist today. So it is fairly easy to figure out the rarity. The 1929 Saint-Gaudens double eagle had 1.7 million minted.
Most of the double eagles were returned to the mint and melted down. Some, however, were unofficially saved by treasury employees. Estimates of the quantities saved range from a few dozen to several hundred thousand, depending on the date. To say the least, these specimens are rare and very few have come up for auction in the past couple of decades.
The problem with using this coin as a store of value, meaning the gold content, is that as a collectible it is worth a lot more. From one standpoint of investing this may be a good thing, but from the standpoint that you want to have something of value you can exchange for food or shelter, it is a very bad way of investing in gold. If it gets to the point of bartering for food and medicine, the rarity of the coin will mean nothing.
Secondly, the numismatic value of a coin is heavily weighted on the grade or the condition. Ratings range from MS (mint state) 1 to MS 70. An MS 70 coin is perfect and usually has never been touched by human hands without gloves. A coin that is MS 1 is usually a glob of metal and is not good for anything but melt-down value. The difficulty with grading is that it is very subjective. I knew a dealer who would purchase coins and pay a company to recertify them at a higher grade.
The difference in price between an MS 60 and an MS 65 can be exponential. So grading is very critical and it doesn't take much to lower the grade of a coin. A fingerprint left by someone not wearing gloves can lower the grade and the value several thousand dollars. So as a store of value and an inflation hedge, numismatic coins are not the way to prepare for a difficult economy.
Now, all of that being said, I do collect coins, have for most of my life and enjoy it very much as a hobby, but not so much as an investment against economic upheaval.
It is very important that when you look at investing in precious metals you know what you are buying and why. Many of the firms that advertise on the Internet do kind of a bait and switch. I had a person come to me saying they invested in gold but what they had really purchased were rare coins; in the time gold went from $800 an ounce to $1,400 an ounce she lost more than $100,000 because the numismatic value decreased. Actually, it didn't decrease; the company that sold them to her marked it up so much on the purchase that the redemption value was below what she paid.
Next time we will discuss investing in mining companies and how to prevent yourself from being disappointed.

Indonesia's most famous transsexual, Dorce Gamalama, a singer, TV presenter and comedian, has been in show business since her teenage years.
The 48-year-old said that she wants to open a museum where she can showcase the costumes she has worn over the years — partly because she wants to retain the quality, and partly because she cannot accommodate them at her own house anymore.
The museum will showcase thousands of different outfits.
"Those are the clothes I have collected since 1983, including a lot of kebayas, skirts, shoes and other accessories," Dorce said.

"As a young man, my father had been shot by a white policeman, but never spoke about the incident after leaving Alabama and moving north. He never even told my mother. He took the story to his grave… Every household is different but in my childhood home the window to that painful past was never widely opened.
Our parents felt we needed to know only so much. No time for tears. No yearning for sympathy. You see, you can't keep your eye on the prize if your sight is clouded by tears. How can you soar if you're freighted down by the anger of your ancestors?"
-- Excerpted from the Introduction (pgs. xi-xii)
I'll be honest, I've listened to Michele Norris for years on National Public Radio in her capacity as host of All Things Considered without knowing that she was black. After all, I couldn't see her, and she speaks in a fairly nondescript Standard American English accent which makes it difficult to discern her ethnic roots.

"And This Is What The Devil Does" has been committed to archiving and preserving vintage video recordings of independent origin since the eighties. ROIO's are unique time capsules that often speak louder and clearer to a true fan than a polished multi-camera release. Preserving these diamonds in the rough for future generations of dedicated nerds and geeks became an obsession after reading about such recordings way back in a magazine called "Musik Express". Almost 3 decades later, this website is meant to showcase part of what was washed ashore over all those years. Below is the list of bands that we currently showcase. The content can be accessed via the 'pools' on the left hand side or simply by clicking on the individual band names.
Accüsed, At the Drive-In, Babes in Toyland, Bauhaus, Big Black, Body Count, Carter USM, Circle Jerks, Consolidated, Cop Shoot Cop, Cryptic Slaughter, Curve, Einstürzende Neubauten, Fugazi, Godflesh, God Machine, Grazhdanskaya Oborona, Jesus and Mary Chain, Killing Joke, Kitchens of Distinction, KMFDM, Ludichrist, Ludicra, Lush, Ministry, The Mission, Mudhoney, My Bloody Valentine, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Neurosis, New Order, Nine Inch Nails, Pigface, Pixies, Portishead, Portal, Public Enemy, Revolting Cocks, Run DMC, Shudder to Think, Sigur Ros, Sisters of Mercy, Skinny Puppy, Smiths, Soundgarden, Treponem Pal, Velvet Underground, Young Gods, Wolves in the Throne Room, Zeni Geva

Through LMU's Upward Bound Program, students have made the commitment to finish high school and pursue a college education. Upward Bound is a federally funded program that increases high school graduation rates and college enrollment rates among first-generation, low-income students.
"The program is a perfect example of LMU's service-driven mission," said Norma Romero, director of Upward Bound at LMU. "Westchester High School is right in our own backyard. It's fitting that we partner with this community to get kids ready and excited about going to college. It has been inspiring to see their growth and progress."
During their stay at LMU, the students take college prep and enrichment courses, attend financial aid and admissions seminars, and receive tutoring and mentoring support from current LMU students and staff. Throughout the academic year LMU's Upward Bound tutors and academic coordinator hold weekly advising hours in order to monitor students' progress.
The most recent group has competed in a Web research design competition, TRIO Quest, against other Upward Bound students across the nation and won commendations for their Web site entry in November 2009.
"We are very proud of their achievement and I have no doubt they will continue to excel in everything they set their minds to," said Romero.

If this plan were to go into effect, that would likely keep me teaching until 60 where right now I'd hit 30 years at age 52. What that means is eight more years that I'll keep my job and some poor kid right out of college won't have one.
oops--meant to say when one out of four workers at one of Carnegie's plants DIED ON THE JOB. My bad.
so Steve--when one out of every four workers at one of Carnegie's steel plants in the 19th Century, should they have just taken personal responsibility and been safer on the job? Or should they have engaged in the sorts of protests that led to workplace safety laws. While the current situation is not as immediately damaging to people's lives, there's still more than enough evidence to support the claims that irresponsible actions on the part of the banking industry are, at the very least, a contributing factor to the current lack of jobs. Given that Congress has largely ignored its regulatory responsibilities as well, it's distinctly possible that such a protest is necessary to call attention to a problem that contributes significantly to the lack of jobs.
What we could really use now is a new Teddy Roosevelt; a leader who believed in the necessary role corporations played in a modern economy, but who also understood that due to their size and connections, corporations had almost unlimited power and therefore needed to be tightly regulated for the good of the whole.
Not sure I agree with the "hasn't been the same since May 2010" comment. Perry actually was quite good in the second half of 2010. His stat line shows a 2.37 ERA and a .215 BAA with a WHIP just a hair north of 1.00 in 32 post-All Star appearances last year. That's pretty good.
Too busy. Can't see the message thread and the message box/reply box without scrolling down.
Overall, as a guy who actually teaches design, this is pretty hard to use. "Design isn't just how it looks or how it feels. It's how it works." --Tim Harrower.
This doesn't work well.
The problem is, if the too many of the types of acts you describe actually are on the bill, Rothbury will lose a lot of the charm that made it so special last year. The thing I enjoyed most was the fact that there were so many acts that I didn't know and so many adventurous music fans that were willing to go check out a Rodrigo y Gabriela or a Mofro or other less-than-household names. Start drawing too many really, really big acts and the festival runs the risk of becoming just another corporate event--not that they don't have their charms, but look across the country and the different festivals have ultimately become larger, more profitable but less diverse and less interesting while drawing larger crowds and more people who are there for the event and not the music. Its probably inevitable, but the longer Rothbury can stave that off, the better in my opinion.
Izzo didn't play Lucas enough? He averaged 25 minutes a game and started most of the way. If you want to claim Ryan's the best coach in the Big 10, I can buy that. I wouldn't trade coaches with them, but the guy's done nothing but win everywhere he's been and he does so with a true, throwback style of team basketball. Kudos to him. But to suggest Izzo didn't play Lucas enough during the year tests the bounds of credibility.
If anything, I'd use Miller in the pen in the late innings, but not until much later in the year. Why? By all accounts, he's struggled with his secondary pitches, but that wouldn't be as much of an issue out of the pen. I'd still rather he stayed in AA and worked on developing those pitches, but, if we get to August in a pennant race and Mesa hasn't rebounded, Rodney is still on again, off again w/ injuries and Zumaya isn't looking like he'll rebound this year (all of which are scarily possible) Miller has the stuff to come in as a late inning fireballer and help a lot.

Ok, that's about as much "nothing" as I can stand, which may be reason enough to have a day dedicated to it.
Wednesday is National Do Nothing Day.
Uh …
Ok, that's about as much "nothing" as I can stand, which may be reason enough to have a day dedicated to it.
Legend has it that National Do Nothing Day was created 40 years ago by San Francisco Examiner columnist Harold Pullman Coffin.
"He found himself thinking about and getting tired of special interest groups laying claim to a day on the calendar far too often. He felt that he needed to do something to give us a day to really focus on ourselves," theherbivorehippi wrote on Hub Pages.
Decades later, we seem incapable of doing nothing. We can't even do just one thing at a time. I get restless when I'm only working one digital device. I'm more comfortable juggling three.
We multitask so much we're multitasking multitasking.
"Honor the Sabbath and keep it holy," is the fourth commandment. God ordered man to rest one day a week, so why can't we at least rest one day a year? I mean, Congress does nothing EVERY day.
So watch the video, my friends, to see a few attempts by everyone from viewers to news anchors to take a few moments and … do …… nothing ….

------------------------Sensing your balance was just the beginning; now Nintendo has learned to sense your fear.
Miyamoto was really busy in London on Friday. He had time to tell the Associated Press that his biggest focus is currently education and he's putting the DS in Japanese schools. Then he hopped over to the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and picked up a Fellowship, joining the ranks of Fellini, Hitchcock, and Kubrick. He even had time to do an exclusive interview with games magazine, and discussed one possible way to use the upcoming Vitality Sensor.
While this doesn't confirm that the Vitality Sensor will actually make its way into the game, it does show that Nintendo is considering using the device to enhance traditional genres. Iwata will be announcing the first software for the Vitality Sensor at E3 this year.Originally Posted by Shigeru Miyamoto
I certainly hope the final unit isn't as bulky or uncomfortable as a medical vitality sensor, but the idea of any game (especially Zelda; a favorite series of mine) changing tactics based on realtime readings from the player is very, very enticing.

Question for AIM users
I have had my PB for a few months now and have finally got around to asking this question. When using AIM, and putting an away message on, if I close the PB or leave for nearly any amount of time over 3-5 minutes, it automatically signs me off. Does this happen to everyone. On my PC desktop at home, I can leave AIM on w/ an away message unattended for days, well actually an unlimited amount of time, point being it will not sign me off. Does the Mac just do this, or is there something I can do to prevent this? Thanks in advance for all of your help.
your going to have to sign up for something like this
When you close the lid the powerbook goes to sleep, thus shutting everything off to conserve energy (including internet connection), disconnecting you. Leaving it for 3 or 4 minutes won't sign you off but leaving it alone for the period of time that you computer is set for til it sleeps will disconnect you.
Ok, thanks for the quick response. So virtually there is no way to stay signed on unless your computer does not go to sleep, because it shuts off the internet connection.
Thanks again.
Does it shut down internet altogether, or just the airport card. I have yet to use my powerbook on a wired connection but when i leave for college this fall that will change, so will I be able to remain online then or is it still going to log me off Adium
When the computer goes to sleep EVERYTHING is turned off to conserve battery life.
everything but the ram is turned off... but this is a easy solution... don't put your computer to sleep.. leave it open and change the prefferences so that is stays awake.
I'm glad to see this thread. I'm having the same problem, only I don't use AIM, I use Adium. I love Adium, I just wish there was a way to stay signed into it while the computer is in sleep mode. Is this not possible to change at ALL?
its impossible, sleep for any type of computer is that it saves all active processes into the ram and shuts everything down and only the ram is active, nothing else.
Would just putting the display to sleep be sufficient enough power wise? Or is it smarter to put the entire computer to sleep nightly?
Another AIM question:
How come every time I put the computer to sleep or AIM gets shut down, and when I reopen AIM, all of my saved away messages are deleted and my profile has been erased? This never happened on my PC desktop?
Thanks again.
Rather than actually try to help you with that, I'll take the easy way out and ask if you've tried iChat :mac:
No, I've never used iChat, but everyone uses AIM, so it doesn't make any sense for me to it. I'm sure its a great program, but it would be rather useless for me to use.
You can talk with people on AIM using iChat.

Car accidents happen in a flash. One second you're slowly pressing the accelerator as the light turns green, and a millisecond later someone tries to beat the red light and smashes into the front of your car. It's loud, rattling and enough to make you temporarily disoriented.

The recent reporting regarding our state legislators' expenditures, at taxpayers' expense, seems like "business as usual" for the legislators. You may recall they once had a French chef to prepare their meals, but when it became public, the Legislature stopped that practice.
The latest burden was their laundry bill, family-plan cellphones (for some) and Internet service in their homes, all paid for by the taxpayers. This was kept quiet, like the French chef, until it was publicized.
Taxpayers who work in state offices and other occupations must pay for their laundry, Internet service and most cellphone bills. Wouldn't it be simpler, and less expensive, for the state to issue prison attire to the legislators, which would be cheaper to clean? And there would be less interpersonal competition and possibly reduce the partisan bickering, thereby also saving the taxpayers the expense of the ever-increasing special Legislature sessions.

A new assortment of Gears of War action figures and a highly anticipated Portal figure will both be available in February 2013.
The new Gears of War collection scales the heroes of the sci-fi franchise down to 3 ¾" format.
The highly-detailed versions of Marcus and his crew each have over 20 points of articulation. All of the soldiers include their signature weapons and accessories.
The assortment will be released just a few weeks before Gears of War Judgement. The newest installment in the third-person shooter franchise is slated for a March 19 release on Xbox 360.
Here's a very brief first look at the upcoming game…
The Gears crew aren't the only video game characters getting miniaturized in February, though. NECA will also release a figure based on the protagonist of Portal.
Chell comes equipped with her signature Aperture Laboratories jumpsuit and undershirt.
The figure has over 20 points of articulation and includes a fancy display base. The articulation includes ball jointed neck, shoulders, torso, and wrists.
Need a little something extra to win you over?
Well, the portal device actually lights up and glows blue. If that doesn't grab you, I don't know what will.
The Chell figure is limited to 15,000 units worldwide, so keep an eye out for pre-orders.
Prices for both the Gears of War figures and the Chell figure will vary from retailer to retailer.
