21st Century science - dumbed down?
Arguments continue over science education in the UK.
Twenty First Century Science is a suite of new GCSE science courses for 14- to 16-year-olds and all schools in the UK can start the courses from September 2006. Schools can continue to offer separate Chemistry, Physics, and Biology courses.
Critics such as Sir Richard Sykes (rector of Imperial College London) is among many attack the new qualification. He warned a "dumbed down syllabus" may stop those who did not study chemistry, physics and biology individually from getting into good universities. Sir Richard Sykes stated on BBC News: "If you wish to have a dumbed-down syllabus for the general population that's fine. But for those who really want to go on and study a subject in depth, and particularly go to a good university like Imperial, then they'll never get there unless they study the individual subjects and take A-levels in these individual subjects." He wrote in a report from the Institute of Ideas think tank that: "A science curriculum based on encouraging pupils to debate science in the news is taking a back-to-front approach... Science should inform the news agenda, not the other way round."
David Perks who is head of physics at Graveney School in London, describes the changes as a "dumbing down" of the subject in a critical essay published by the Institute of Ideas (it is this essay that triggered the argument).
Baroness Mary Warnock said: "What counts as an issue to be debated in class is largely, as David Perks points out, dictated by the press. Far too much teaching at school has already degenerated into this kind of debate, more suitable for the pub than the school room."
However, not unexpectedly, the UK Department for Education and Skills said the qualification would be academically rigorous while encouraging more young people to consider studying science post-16. The British Association for the Advancement of Science and the Royal Societyseem to support the new course.
This project began because the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) was asked by the government to explore ways to modernise the science curriculum which was criticised in some quarters. Pilot course started in September 2003 at about 80 pilot schools.
The BBC article on this topic has some interesting reader responses!
The Orbitron
This is to announce the first draft of The Orbitron - a web site with ray-traced images representing atomic orbitals. The site also has some animations that should help you to visualise them
The site shows images representing electron density and animated plots that should help you to understand their nodal structures. Future versions will have molecular orbitals as well. The images are "ray-traced" which hopefully means pretty (as well as informative).

BackgroundIn Vessel, players take on the role of Arkwright, a renowned inventor whose inventions – living liquid creatures known as Fluros – have gone awry, turning on their users and disrupting machinery throughout the world. To fix the flawed Fluros and restore order, players must create, manipulate and destroy a wide variety of Fluros and operate complex machinery to solve challenging puzzles. Vessel takes players on an exploratory adventure through four fascinating worlds, fixing the work sites where Fluros are employed and ultimately leading the player to complete his next great invention, "The Device."
Game PlayBuilt on a groundbreaking liquid-physics engine, Vessel will allow players to solve puzzles by bringing to life physically-simulated liquid (water, lava, glowing goo, chemicals and more) by animating them into living machines called Fluros that retain all the properties of the liquid they contain. Using the unique technology of the Vessel engine, these liquid creatures are like no other character in video games; each possesses a body composed entirely of physically simulated fluid that allows them unique abilities that include melting, reforming, mixing with other types of fluid, and re-growing lost limbs. Combining the properties of each fluid type with the behaviors of the liquid creatures that it comprises, players will be able solve puzzles and progress in this fantastic mechanical world.

Polar introduce Beat iPhone app for smarter training
Heart rate monitor specialists release first iPhone training app. Works with compatible heart rate strap
Previous News
Next News
Finland's Polar is one of the most recognisable names when it comes to heart rate watches and computers, and it was only a matter of time before they released a smartphone app.
Everyone who is everyone has an app these days. Garmin's Fit, Strava, Biologic, Minoura. Polar's Beat is a free training app aims to separate itself from the competition by giving you tools to train smarter, bringing intelligence to your training data. The key to using data when training is knowing what the data is telling you about your body.
Tapping into Polar's 35 years of expertise, the Beat app can plan a training target, help you train at the right intensity, understand the impact of your workout and accurately tracks calories consumed. It can also provide training targets and training session data for time, distance and calories; maps and music; training history and personal bests. It's also social so you can share/show-off fast rides to friends.
While Beat is free to download, to access the advanced features you'll be wanting to purchase the new Bluetooth Polar H7 Heart Rate Sensor which costs a chunky £64.50. The heart rate sensor is the first from Polar to use Bluetooth 4.0 (existing Polar products use legacy Bluetooth heart rate monitor sensors) and isn't compatible with any of their other products. So if you're already a Polar user and interested in using the app, you won't be able to use an existing heart rate strap. You'll have to buy this new H7 strap. The iPhone 4/5 both have Bluetooth 4.0 installed
The Beat app does work with their existing PolarPersonalTrainer.com however, so if you have an account there you can easily connect up to it. That means you can use this app alongside any other Polar products you already have. If you've already spent a couple of hundred pounds on a Polar watch then it's unlikely you'll be that interested in the app. Will you?
As a product to tap into the massive popularity of apps it's clearly a smart move and is an affordable way into the Polar universe (and all that clever heart rate analysing stuff). But for as long as the H7 sensor isn't compatible with any other Polar products it appears to be a standalone product and not a stepping stone into the Polar world. Which seems a shame.
Polar Beat can be found on Apple's App Store from today at no cost. An in-app feature upgrade for £2.49 is also available, providing advanced target setting and deeper real-time workout analysis. Beat is compatible with the iPhone 4S and the new iPhone 5. And an Android version? Word from Polar is that there won't be one which does seem to be missing a trick but then Polar has only supported Macs since 2010.

The iphone 4S was the first iphone to support BTLE aka Bluetooth 4.0 aka Bluetooth smart. Not the iphone 4 as stated in the middle of the article.

If this was backed up with a range of accessories for cycling, id say it would be worth it, cadence & speed at least.
Otherwise, its a gimmicky start out for runners and occasional/leasure cyclists looking to step up and its a pretty damn effective product for doing just that.
I hope they do add in a range of sensors for the bike as it would challenge garmins offerings at last.
Im currently looking at replacing my CS500 Cad as I have to use the phone for tracking and the computer for cycle specific data and then add the two together manually which is a pain in the a##e.
It could do with being Strava compatible also.

About Women's Rain and Waterproof Boots:
Women's rain boots are great, I don't know about you but I feel like puddles and rain are the enemy of every cute outfit that I wear. A great pair of rainboots gives you the waterproof protection that you need to confidently stride through a monsoon with toes that are warm, comfortable and, most importantly, dry. Rain boots are also great at making you feel like you live in Seattle, which is especially helpful if you live in Seattle and you want to fit in.
My favorite pair of rain boots is multicolored with polka dots of varying sizes. It may seem a little over the top but they are warm, comfortable and they go really well with my rain jacket. I feel like I could walk through a bayou and not get my feet wet. I would test this theory but I am pretty sure that rainboots do not repel alligators, snakes or swamp monsters.
It wasn't raining when I came into work this morning but I wore my rain boots just in case. So far the weather outside of the secret headquarters is actually quite nice. Luckily for me, my colorful and stylish rain boots have been really popular with all of the guys who work near me. Literally every one of them has complimented me on how nice they look. Sure, they all also pointed out that there isn't supposed to be any rain today but there's no arguing with fashionable footwear. I'm actually starting to think that the weather has been so nice because the rain knows that I am wearing my boots today and it doesn't want to embarrass itself by not being able to get me wet. Rain boots, they control the weather, but probably not really.

Jeff Timmons is proud of his boy band past!
The 98 Degrees singer stops by Wednesday's "Bethenny" where he reveals why the guys went with the temperature label for their group name and talks about the guys' infamous tattoos.
Check out the clip above to find out why Nick Lachey decided to have his 98 Degrees ink covered up.
While we'd have to say the tatts are probably not the coolest thing anymore, we gotta give props to Jeff for embracing his '90s past!
These days, Jeff is working on a reality show called "Men of the Strip," chronicling his own group of male strippers who will make their debut at the House of Blues in Las Vegas this weekend.
We'll be sure to bring you photos from their opening night on Monday!

MILWAUKEE - Years from now, we may see Donald Driver's face in various halls of fame for his 14 years with the Packers. But it's the 20 minutes he spent with a cancer survivor that made a difference in the little boy's life.
Trenton Carr has achieved more in 11 years than many people have in a lifetime. He beat leukemia twice, and grew up watching Driver.
"I liked him because he's part of the Packers, and that's really the only football games I watch," said Carr.
In 2010, Carr was battling cancer, when Driver was scheduled to visit his school. Doctors let him leave the hospital, and he thought he was just going to be in the crowd.
But Drive had another plan, stealing him away for some one-on-one time.
"I thought it was really cool, because not a lot of people get to do that," Carr said.
Driver gave the boy advice, his books, a game ball and even his cell phone number.
"He actually answered, and we talked," Carr said.
Trenton is one of many people touched by Driver's kindness off the field, whether it's softball games or fashion shows. Parents and fans can tell, he cares.
"That's awesome that those guys still take their time to spend with children and do the things they do," said Jason Carr, Trenton's dad.
As for Trenton, he's healthy, and wishes Driver the best.
"Happy I got to know him," he said.
Trenton has not called Driver's phone lately, but says he's going to - to wish him a happy retirement.

Mobile Betting Calculators
A mobile betting calculator is an essential tool for any punter. Whether you're at a brick and mortar bookmaker looking at the odds offered and are considering a multi-bet or a single wager of an odd amount with an uncommon payout, or you're considering bet options with your favorite online bookie and need to compare outcomes of a patent, a three team multi-bet accumulator, your mobile betting calculator will make your life much easier by allowing you to quickly and easily test various results without having to enter the math of all possible combinations of results into the calculator on your phone.
Another great reason to make sure that you have this tool at your disposal is that odds frequently move. You may have finally figured out which bet you want to place, but all of a sudden the line on one of the events has moved. Using a regular calculator, you'd once again have to enter all of the data for each of the possible combinations – perhaps only to discover that another line or payout had changed. These delays can be costly, and this tool can help you avoid losing out when you need to act quickly.
Your mobile betting calculator will also come in extremely handy if you plan on placing each way multi-bets. Attempting to figure out all of the possible outcomes of such wagers, especially when they involve several events, is a fool's errand. This will take valuable time away from studying the odds, the teams and/or horses, and just enjoying the events, and it is entirely unnecessary when you could easily take care of it in seconds or minutes on your smartphone.
Perhaps the greatest reason to make use of a mobile betting calculator is that it prevents you from making the kids of errors that necessarily occur from time to time when you enter such information into a regular calculator by hand. To be sure, it's unlikely that you'll make a mistake entering two or three single bets. Try to figure out the results of a Heinz bet using a regular calculator, though, and making a mistake at some point, either by incorrectly entering some data or missing a combination or two, is all but impossible. This tool reduces the likelihood of such errors by limiting the amount of information that you need to input to get the results that you need.
Whether you're a casual punter or a serious one, a mobile betting calculator is a convenient and useful tool to have at your disposal. To be sure, it might not be necessary for every punter, such as those who always make single wagers with easily calculable stakes and odds, or, for that matter, those who graduated summa cum laude from MIT, but few bettors fall into either of those categories. With a quick, free download, you'll never again have to burn your valuable time doing elementary math rather than engaging in the serious study and enjoyment that are supposed to be involved with sports betting.

NEALS and ALSA partner to offer clinical trial liaison service to help people with ALS navigate the world of clinical research.
ALS Clinical Trials Liaison Available to Help Connect PALS With Clinical Research Information
The Northeast ALS Consortium (NEALS) in conjunction with The ALS Association provides a centralized resource for information about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) clinical research. As part of this initiative, an ALS trial liaison is available to answer questions and help people navigate through the often complex world of clinical research information. This service is offered during regular business hours (Eastern Standard Time).
A long-standing collaboration between NEALS and The ALS Association through the Translational Research Advancing Therapy for ALS (TREAT ALS) program has built a comprehensive infrastructure to improve clinical trial efficiencies. The availability and accuracy of clinical research information is crucial to the development of potential treatments for ALS.
"The ALS Association is very pleased to provide funding for this resource and to be working with NEALS and the clinical community to make information on all the important clinical trials more accessible to people with ALS," said ALS Association Chief Scientist Lucie Bruijn, Ph.D.
With the support of The ALS Association, NEALS leads a coordinated effort to support people with ALS who wish to enroll in clinical trials. This effort includes:
The leadership at NEALS and The ALS Association recognize the need to provide comprehensive clinical research information to the ALS community. An ALS clinical trial liaison can be reached at (877) 458-0631 Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST and by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Additional information including current updates on clinical trials and more can be found on the NEALS website: www.alsconsortium.org.

Created: 23 Nov 2012 • Updated: 23 Nov 2012 | 2 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Having upgraded to exchange 2010 we are about to upgrade our backupexec.
The current backup server is 32bit hardware running win2003, if I upgrade BE on this server will I still be able to backup & restore the exchange down to message level, or would I need to install it on a new 64bit win 2008r2 server?
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
To backup Exchange 2010 you need to install BE2010 and above on a 64bit server (recommeded
2008R2 and above) Refer to the below article on Requirements of Agent for Exchange 2010.

Living Green for Earth Day
Earth Day is Sunday, April 22, and to help bring awareness, we're going to discuss two things you can implement in your home to help the environment.
Compost consists of organic matter that has been decomposed down into a rich, fertilized soil. Because of its nutrients, it serves great use in organic farming and gardening. There are several benefits to composting at home, including the reduction of wasted space at landfills and its use in your own lawn and garden.
Composting, the process of creating compost, requires four things to effectively decompose the organic matter: carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and water. An easy way to keep your compost healthy is to provide a 50/50 mix of dry, brown material and wet, green material. The process will require you to mix the pile often to provide oxygen. You should also make sure it gets enough moisture, otherwise the decomposition process will take longer.
There are several options to get started with composting at home. You could get a large wooden like the one pictured (Exaco ECO Composter), a taller, black bin like this GeoBin which is easy to setup and affordable, or a solar heated cone system that comes with a kitchen caddy as well. Explore these and other composters on our site.
What Can I Compost?
Here are some examples of thing you can compost. Remember to try and feed your compost with a good 50/50 mix of dry, brown and wet, green materials. Really, almost everything that was living at some point can be composted, but some things may take longer to decompose.
Dry/Brown (Carbon-rich material)
– Fall leaves
– Small twigs and branches
– Paper coffee filters
– Shredded paper (newspaper, office paper, etc.)
– Paper towels
– Wood chips
Wet/Green (Nitrogen-rich material)
– Fruit and vegetable peels (or whole ones that have gone bad)
– Coffee grounds
– Tea bags
– Egg shells
– Plant trimmings and fresh leaves
– Cooked plain rice or pasta
Depending on the size of your compost, you could have rich soil ready to go in 3-4 months, or 5-6 months for larger piles.
Rain Water Collection
Another way to help the environment and save you money is to implement a rain water collection system (also called rain harvesting). The concept is that you collect excess rainwater from your home gutters during times of heavy rainfall and store it for use in your lawn and garden, especially through times of drought and water restrictions. Environmentally, you help lessen the amount of flooding that occurs on streets and lessen the amount of pollution that reaches our oceans through rainwater run-off. The run-off carries pesticides, oil and harmful, inorganic materials. Another added benefit is the use of rain water in your garden, where you're feeding your plants soft water that doesn't contain added minerals. Your plants will be happier!
The most common solution is a barrel that sits below your drainage gutters of your home. The barrel comes with a faucet where you can easily hook up your hose. They come in different colors and sizes to blend into its environment. For extra storage, you have the ability to connect multiple barrels together as well. Browse our selection of rain barrels on our site.

21 Ways to Clean with Vinegar
Most cleaning products fall into one of two categories: toxic or expensive. While both types will clean almost anything, or at least what they are designated to clean, there's a third option. It's inexpensive and not at all poisonous to humans. It's multi-purpose as well–one container will take care of laundry, kitchen cleaning, even bugs and weeds. You don't have to look farther than your kitchen cabinet for this "miracle cleaner" – Vinegar.
Vinegar is a weak form of acetic acid that forms through the fermentation of sugars or starches. It is completely edible, and cannot harm your stomach and is safe to use around children. And luckily for us, many things can be cleaned using it. The uses of vinegar are nearly endless. In addition to cleaning, it is an excellent item for cooking and even home science experiments.
For most uses you can fill a spray bottle with a vinegar and water mixture, which will make it much easier to use. Here are 21 popular uses for cleaning with vinegar:
Uses around the House:
- Removing stickers and sticky things that have been stuck around the house on walls and furniture.
- A bowl of vinegar in room overnight gets rid of constant unpleasant odors.
- If something is spilt on the carpet soak up as much liquid as possible with towels or sponges and spray with a mixture of half vinegar, half water. Wait 2 minutes and then blot with towel.
- Wood paneling can be cleaned with 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup vinegar and 2 cups warm water.
- With persistent stains, you can mix 1 teaspoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap and 1 cup warm water. Follow the procedure above and then dry with a hairdryer.
- To clean windows, spray with half vinegar, half water. Wipe clean with either newspapers or cloth.
- 1 teaspoon of salt in one cup vinegar and 1/4 cup of flour can be used to create a polishing paste for silver, pewter, copper or brass. Apply to item, let stand for 15 minutes, rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
Bathroom Uses:
- Soak showerheads in vinegar overnight to remove deterioration or chemical build-up.
- When cleaning the toilet bowl, spray vinegar to get rid of rings and spots.
- To prevent mildew, spray shower walls and shower curtain with vinegar.
Kitchen Uses:
- Spraying vinegar along doorways, windowsills, countertops, cabinets, etc. will get rid of ants.
- Wash your sink out with vinegar and pour some down the drain to remove unwanted odors.
- For a clogged drain, pour in 1/2 cup baking soda and ½ cup vinegar. Rinse with warm water after bubbling occurs.
- Vinegar is great for removing odors and bacteria from a chopping board after use, as well as your hands after handing smelly foods like onions and garlic, etc.
- Use it for any counter tops or surfaces.
- For microwave cleaning purposes, put a bowl of 1/2 cup vinegar and 1 cup water inside and cook until it boils. This will get rid of odor and unstick food stains from the walls of the microwave.
- Vinegar and salt together can be used to remove stains from china.
Who would have thought you could get so much out of such a common product!

'Cougar Town' Moment: Andy and His Brother Get Into a Fight
by Joel Keller, posted May 12th 2011 11:30AM
'Cougar Town' is doing a great job as we come to the end of the season. Travis's depression over being rejected by Kirsten has been a great continuing story that the show has lacked since sometime last year. It's also interesting that in a time of need, Ellie not only turned to Laurie -- or "Jellybean," as Ellie derisively calls her -- to be her "human stress ball" and Laurie eventually realizes what's happening and shows up for her. I'm not sure what I think of the two of them being begrudging friends, but so far I like it.
The reason why Laurie agreed to be Ellie's punching bag? Andy's family is in town, namely Andy's brother Nestor, who refuses to speak to Andy in English because Andy seems to be the only one in his family (and, somehow, in the Cul-de-Sac Crew) who doesn't know Spanish. But the big problem is Nestor's wife who is overly flirty and grabby whenever she's around Andy.
That wife is played by Nia Vardalos; she and Ian Gomez are married in real life, and the writers took advantage of that fact with some really fun physical humor. Which is a good thing, because guest stars don't always make for the best episodes on 'Cougar Town.'
Technically, this episode had two guest stars, as Ken Jenkins was back playing Jules' dad Chick. Chick was there to help console Travis, mainly by taking him to an empty strip club. But Jenkins is not only well in tune with the rhythms of a Bill Lawrence show, Chick is literally a member of the family, so you expect to see him drop by and be a part of this universe from time to time.
Other guest stars on this show have been problematic, even if they've been there for multiple-episode arcs. Two that stick out for me were Sheryl Crow and Jennifer Aniston; both of them disrupted the chemistry of the show enough that it became a bit of a distraction to see them.
It's quite the opposite of how well guests integrated into the cast on 'Scrubs,' and it may be because this group is even more of a tight-knit group than the gang at Sacred Heart Hospital was. Also, new doctors, nurses and patients come in and out of a hospital all the time; it's got to be tougher to write in reasons to add people to a group who stand around Jules' kitchen island drinking wine seven days a week.
Anyway, Vardalos wasn't a distraction at all, mainly because her role was limited to just being a harlot who has eyes for Andy. But, as I said, Vardalos and Gomez are one of those married couples who work well on screen together; because they're married, Vardalos feels no shyness when, as Andy's sister-in-law, she pokes and prods him, rubs his bald head, and does very suggestive yoga poses with him. It's the same reasoning why Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman can slobber all over each other on 'Parks and Recreation': They're married, so they might as well let their freak flags fly.
All of what was fun about this story came to a head when Ellie finally decided to tell Nestor, in Spanish, that his wife is trying to sleep with Andy. For some reason, though, Nestor decided to tackle Andy and get in a brotherly slap fight with him. "I thought he was going to tackle her," says Ellie with a straight face. Let's just say that it'll probably be a while until we see Andy's family around the Torres household again.
(By the way, loved the notion that "every Torres on the Eastern seaboard drops by to say hi" when they get wind that someone is visiting. It led to a very funny visual of random Torreses walking around the house. Well done.)
'Cougar Town' airs Wednesdays at 9:30PM ET on ABC.

About CatpalsCat Pals, Inc. is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to supplying food, water and medical care to abandoned and feral cat colonies living at the 56-acre beachfront park of Hollywood North Beach. Cat Pals is staffed completely by volunteers, and those who interact directly with the cats are trained before being assigned a specific area.
Our Trap/Neuter/Release program (T/N/R) was presented to the City of Hollywood and Broward County in 1994 by our founder, Cindy Martin, with the endorsement of Dr. James Dee and Dr. Sessa of the Hollywood Animal Hospital. The Hollywood Animal Hospital has spayed and neutered over 400 cats for the community for FREE. The program was approved by the city and is a tremendously rewarding effort to control the population of existing cat colonies.
As more vets and clinics offer support and discounted fees to our program, T/N/R has come to be one of the most significant services Cat Pals provides. Each humanely trapped cat is tested for disease, sterilized and vaccinated. Ear tipping, the universal sign that shows a feral cat has been neutered, is the last part of the treatment.
Every effort is made to find homes for healthy kittens and abandoned adult cats. All healthy cats not adoptable are returned to their colony. When Cat Pals began this mission, there were over 300 cats in these local colonies. The success of our T/N/R program has helped manage the population and reduced that number to approximately 85 -- despite the unfortunate increase of abandoned cats and pets during these difficult economic times.
We understand that many of the cats "dropped off" in our area are placed there simply out of the financial desperation of owners who love them. But the harsh reality is that 30 percent of them die within days due to their inability to compete for survival without the care of their owners. This accentuates the need for volunteer foster homes for our domesticated cats. These beautiful, people-friendly animals deserve a second chance, but the adoption process takes time. Providing them a temporary foster home while they await a forever home is one of the best gifts we can help provide.
Please consider becoming a Cat Pal. Fundraising for the medical portion of our program is more important than ever, and we are always in need of volunteer feeders to visit the colonies.
If you would like to temporarily open your home to foster a cat, there is an increasing need for this service as our T/N/R program grows. Any help you can provide is always greatly appreciated.
In addition, any financial donations to Cat Pals, Inc. go completely to the cats. We have no overhead and no salaried employees.
Cat Pals provides a valuable service through our "labor of love." Our goal is to humanely contain these colonies, and be sure the abandoned cat population does not continue to increase.
Too see photos of our beautiful family (the cats, not us!), click on The Cats link. We hope you will join us as a donor or an active volunteer!
Thank you,
Cat Pals, Inc.

|In order to be able to compare the performance of different aerofoil designs the Wright Brothers plotted graphs of the forces that they measured in their experiments. The lift and drag forces are now conventionally plotted together against the angle of incidence.
|Can you predict how the lift and drag curves will change as you drag down on the aerofoil?
|You can see from the lift curve that for this aerofoil the angle at which it will stall is around 15 degrees. In modern planes the pilot is given a warning as the stall angle is approached but the early pioneers just had to rely on their judgment.
|The data from the lift and drag curves can also be combined to create the lift/drag (L/D) curve. It is calculated by dividing the lift coefficient by the drag coefficient for each measured angle of attack, and is an important tool for relating the performance of different aerofoil sections.

Molecular diagnosis and therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); An emerging field for advanced technologies
Marquardt JU, Galle PR, Teufel A. J Hepatol. 2011 Jul 20. [Epub ahead of print]
Source Department of Medicine I, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany.
Despite great progress in diagnosis and management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the exact biology of the tumor remains poorly understood overall limiting the patients' outcome. Detailed analysis and characterization of the molecular mechanisms and subsequently individual prediction of corresponding prognostic traits would revolutionize both diagnosis and treatment of HCC and is the key goal of modern personalized medicine. Over the recent years systematic approaches for the analysis of whole tumor genomes and transcritpomes as well as epigenomes became affordable tools in translational research. This includes simultaneous analyses of thousands of molecular targets using microarray-based technologies as well as next-generation sequencing. Although currently diagnosis and classification of hepatocellular cancers still rely on histological examination of tumor sections, these technologies show great promise to advance the current knowledge of hepatocarcinogenesis, complement diagnostic classification in a setting of microarray-aided pathology and rationalize the individual drug selection. This review aims to summarize recent progress of systembiological approaches in hepatocarcinogenesis and outline potential areas for translational application in a clinical setting. Further, we give an update about known signaling pathways active in HCC, summarize the historical application of whole genomic approaches in liver cancer and indicate ongoing experimental research utilizing novel technologies in diagnosis and treatment of this deadly disease. This will also include the discussion and characterization of new molecular and cellular targets such as Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs).

FAIRFAX, Va., (WUSA) -- "If I'm coming eastbound on the Express Lanes, it'll drop me off past Tyson's just in time to get on the bridge."
We'll call him "Joe." And because of his job, we can't reveal his identity. But, this driver wants to tell you how his quest to avoid congestion has cost him hundreds of dollars.
"They're approximately five dollars to start, and is now $504.90," he says.
So, how did five $1 fines balloon into more than $500? "Joe" says on five separate trips, toll charges were deducted from his account during his commute from Maryland to Virginia and back. But, the transponder did not deduct the tolls when he got onto theI-495 Express Lanes in Virginia to Interstate 66. So,Transurban sent him a bill for the outstanding charges.
"Joe" says, "I had showed that the other two toll authorities did indeed pick me up and charge me the appropriate toll for that one, for that day, that big trip around the loop."
"Joe" did not dispute the charges he racked up in February and March of this year. He says he tried, for several months, to pay the $1 citations online in between trips back and forth down South to care for a sick relative.
"I had paid the ones that would let me pay online right then and there. However, they had already locked up these five here and their system wouldn't let me do it," he says.
For the next three months, he was back on the road again dealing with another family situation and didn't have access to a computer to pay those toll fees online. And, since he hadn't handled them, EZ Pass tagged each one with an additional $100 collection fee because they were late.
"I think the punitive charge is excessive, quite excessive," he says.
But "Joe" says he questioned whether he should have to pay the collection charges in the first place because the EZ Pass officewhere he bought his transponder alerted him that his device needed to be replaced.
But, he still was left with that huge increase on those missed $1 toll fees. "Joe" turned toWUSA 9 Call For Action for help, and we contacted Transurban, the company that holds the contract for the 495 Express Lanes.
"You don't want to sit on that. You don't want to delay. You don't want to wait for that second invoice to arrive because then your fees are going to go higher," says Transurban's Mike McGurk.
"That's exactly what happened to "Joe", and once the fees turned over to the collections agency, there's nothing Transurban can do. A $100 charge on a $1 toll fee may be excessive, but it is spelled out for every Express driver to see on the EZ Pass website. So, let this be a warning to all drivers who are not aware of the payment and collection policy of the service," says WUSA 9 Lesli Foster.
"You've got to be a little exasperated with the system," says "Joe."
We've reached out to the collection agency, but they tell ourWUSA 9 Call For Action team that they can't talk to us, they need to hear from "Joe."
They do tell us, they are willing to work with him to resolve this issue.
And late today, Joe learned he will only have to pay $200 to settle his account.
Now, there's no one place to turn if you have this kind of problem. Essentially, you have to reach out to up to three different providers.
Transurban, to handle the toll fees, EZ Pass to handle transponder problems, and, if you don't handle those situations quickly enough, the third provider is the collections agency.
If you have a problem or want to volunteer on our team, click here on theCall For Action link.
Or call the hotline at 301-652-HELP (4357)

Broken bone
If more pressure is put on a bone than it can stand, it will split or break. A break of any size is called a fracture. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open fracture (compound fracture).
A stress fracture is a hairline crack in the bone that develops because of repeated or prolonged forces against the bone.
Alternative Names
Bone - broken; Fracture; Stress fracture
It is hard to tell a dislocated bone from a broken bone. However, both are emergency situations, and the basic first aid steps are the same.
The following are common causes of broken bones:
- Fall from a height
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Direct blow
- Child abuse
- Repetitive forces, such as those caused by running, can cause stress fractures of the foot, ankle, tibia, or hip
- A visibly out-of-place or misshapen limb or joint
- Swelling, bruising, or bleeding
- Intense pain
- Numbness and tingling
- Broken skin with bone protruding
- Limited mobility or inability to move a limb
First Aid
Check the person's blood circulation. Press firmly over the skin beyond the fracture site. (For example, if the fracture is in the leg, press on the foot). It should first blanch white and then "pink up" in about two seconds. Other signs that circulation is inadequate include pale or blue skin, numbness or tingling, and loss of pulse. If circulation is poor and trained personnel are NOT quickly available, try to realign the limb into a normal resting position. This will reduce swelling, pain, and damage to the tissues from lack of blood.
Do Not
- DO NOT move the person unless the broken bone is stable.
- DO NOT move a person with an injured hip, pelvis, or upper leg unless it is absolutely necessary. If you must move the person, pull the person to safety by his clothes (such as by the shoulders of a shirt, a belt, or pant-legs).
- DO NOT move a person who has a possible spine injury.
- DO NOT attempt to straighten a bone or change its position unless blood circulation appears hampered.
- DO NOT try to reposition a suspected spine injury.
- DO NOT test a bone's ability to move.
Call immediately for emergency medical assistance if
Call 911 if:
- There is a suspected broken bone in the head, neck, or back.
- There is a suspected broken bone in the hip, pelvis, or upper leg.
- You cannot completely immobilize the injury at the scene by yourself.
- There is severe bleeding.
- An area below the injured joint is pale, cold, clammy, or blue.
- There is a bone projecting through the skin.
Even though other broken bones may not be medical emergencies, they still deserve medical attention. Call your health care provider to find out where and when to be seen.
If a young child refuses to put weight on an arm or leg after an accident, won't move the arm or leg, or you can clearly see a deformity, assume the child has a broken bone and get medical help.
- Wear protective gear while skiing, biking, roller blading, and participating in contact sports. This includes helmets, elbow pads, knee pads, and shin pads.
- Create a safe home for young children. Gate stairways and keep windows closed.
- Teach children how to be safe and look out for themselves.
- Supervise children carefully. There is no substitute for supervision, no matter how safe the environment or situation appears to be.
- Prevent falls by not standing on chairs, counter tops, or other unstable objects. Remove throw rugs and electrical cords from floor surfaces. Use handrails on staircases and non-skid mats in bathtubs. These steps are especially important for the elderly.

Ernie vs. Hobby; TV query answered
When the Ducks beat Northern Colorado in the opener, UO coach Ernie Kent drew even with Howard Hobson for most wins as the coach of the Ducks with 212. Kent could be alone if Ducks beat Oakland on Monday night.
Or it happens at some point in the season.
Does total wins make someone the best coach ever at a school? That's a reach, especially in comparing eras.
Hobson has the national title, but it wasn't quite the challenge it is today. Kent has more NCAA appearances, but the field wasn't 65 in the days of yore.
Hobson didn't have to coach against many minorities, and UCLA and Arizona were nothings then. And so on it could go.
There are those who would argue Dick Harter might have been Oregon's best pure coach. How about Steve Belko? Consecutive NCAA appearances when Oregon was an independent.
Jerry Green wasn't here long enough to merit consideration, was he? But give him credit for taking Oregon from "laughingstock of the Pac-10," as former player Jeff Potter once put it, to the NCAA tournament in his third season.
Give Kent this edge over the others: he's remained loyal to the Ducks, even when other schools came calling. Hobson, Harter and Green all left for what they perceived to be better jobs. Would Kent do that?
Thoughts from afar on this: Who would you vote as Oregon's best basketball coach?
HAD A QUESTION ABOUT telecast of Monday's game against Oakland. Here's what the UO media services office sent me:
"The game will be televised on Comcast Sportsnet Northwest on cable channel 37 and HD channel 788.
The game WILL NOT be televised on DirecTV, Dish Network or over the air on MY FOX TV KSLR."
INJURY UPDATE: Kent said Sunday that freshmen Teondre Williams should make debut vs. Oakland. He's been out with sprained toe and thigh bruise. Coach also said that Frantz Dorsainvil, who only played one minute in opener, should see more action. Dorsainvil hadn't practiced much leading up to the opener due to a thigh bruise and sore knee.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _Two University of Missouri-Kansas City psychology professors at the center of a sexual harassment case were promoted even though a committee advised against it.
The Kansas City Star reports that interim provost Bruce Bubacz recommended that the two faculty members be promoted from associate to full professors.
In 2006 a U-M-K-C advisory panel said Keith Haddock and Walker Carlos Poston should not be promoted due to concerns over their alleged misconduct. Two women accused them of groping, fondling and
subjecting women to explicit sexual conversations.
This month the school agreed to pay the two women about one (m)
million dollars, and announced that it planned a second
investigation into the allegations.
Bubacz said in a letter of recommendation to the school
chancellor that he had the support of the committee.

On May 27 in the Monitor, a commentary by Jeffry Gardner referred to President Obama as traitorous due to rhetorical remarks the President made in a welcoming statement to Mexican President Calderón at the White House. The president said in remarks, "In the 21st century, we are not defined by our borders, but by our bonds." The president was talking about the increasing interdependence of nations, not inviting Mexican nationals across the U.S. border. Mr. Gardner proceeds to unleash some unsubstantiated statistics to prove his point about the president and the Mexican border. He claims that "nearly half of the people locked up for violent crimes in New Mexico are illegal aliens" and that "90 percent of the murder warrants issued in Albuquerque alone are for illegal aliens." These statistics according to Mr. Gardner are from FBI and Homeland Security reports.

CARLISLE - The court of law has been favorable for Tim Humphries, the embattled mayor of Carlisle and a candidate for Warren County commissioner.
It's the judgment of a different court that the 41-year-old Humphries can't seem to shake - the court of public opinion.
Humphries was first accused in November of downloading 200 pornographic images to a city-owned computer. A forensic computer report found the allegation to be unfounded. ...

Then upwards it goes: an hour's hike gets one to Niederbauen-Chulm, located at an altitude of 1923 m.a.s.l. From here the view is even better and one can easily spy the many blue bays of the lake, to the South the perfect pyramid of Mt. Bristen, to the West Mt Pilatus and in the South Mt. Rigi.
If one is feeling lazy, one should return by the same route, but more ambitious hikers can hike down the East flank of the mountain. The rather steep trail leads to Seelisberg, from where one can take a train or a boat back to Luzern.

The original Trine charmed over a million players with its fulfilling mix of role-playing elements, challenging puzzles, and breathtaking visuals despite an uninspired story and a short running time. Does this gorgeous new outing conjure up any innovations?
For the uninitiated, Trine is a puzzle platformer featuring a wizard, a knight, and a thief who share one body when its fantasy world has need of a few good heroes. In the single player mode, only one of the three is active at any time, but players can switch between each hero in an instant as the situation demands. Unfortunately, the simple goblin-slashing storyline is no more memorable than that of the first, but Trine 2 makes up for it through its rewarding gameplay.
Even so, that gameplay hasn't changed much from the first release. The wizard, for instance, can still conjure objects and levitate them to solve most puzzles; the warrior can hack and slash his way through enemies and obstacles and shield himself from incoming attacks; and the thief can pelt enemies with arrows and use a grappling hook to swing to distant ledges. Nabbing experience orbs allows each character to learn new skills, such as the wizard's useful ability to conjure more than one object.
The most noteworthy addition here is an online multiplayer mode to complement the existing local cooperative setting, both of which allows other players online to fill the roles of the other two heroes. This usually makes solving the game's many puzzles much simpler. Use the wizard to conjure a box, for instance, and you can use it to levitate the thief or warrior toward an objective that seemed all but unreachable while playing alone.
All of this takes place in a dreamy fantasy backdrop that's truly stunning. When you're not gawking over the frightening detail on a 30-foot tall viper or the forbidding passages in a nightmarish treehouse, you'll experience new challenges in physics, including puzzles that require using landscape elements to rechannel water before you can proceed.
Overall, Trine 2 may not offer many changes over its predecessor and its campaign only yields about six hours of gameplay, but this new release is more refined, more beautiful, and more fun. It's a steal at $15, and if you missed this indie gem the first time around, Trine 2 provides a phenomenal introduction to the series that won't disappoint.
