Ramblings from another nerd on the grid
Gadget Links
Virtual Stuff
Windows Sites
Other Diversions
This month my team kicked off a series of free live seminars. We are doing a Windows Vista Technical Overview in the first couple of hours, and Exchange Server 2003 and 2007 in the second couple of hours. So far, the Windows Vista interest has been huge. In the next few days, I'll be recording all of the Windows Vista demos (as promised). To kick things off, lets talk about some of the sexy stuff.
I'm sure by now, you've seen some demo of Windows Vista. Most of the webcasts we do are using Virtual Machines (VM). VMs are great for testing and demonstrating software, but they lack the graphics card horsepower needed for Windows Vista and Aero Glass. No fear, I'm going to show you in the screencast below, exactly what all of the fuss is about. To do the demonstration, I'll use Camtasia to capture the screen.
Background Information and References
Before we get to the Flip3D screencast, lets look at some other information on the subject. First of all, you should really invest at least 15 minutes watching the video at http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=114694. It stars Kam Vedbrat being interviewed by Robert Scoble. Kam does a good job of giving you some of the background and design points about Windows Vista, Aero Glass and the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) services. Don't worry, the video is a high level discussion so I don't think anyone will get lost. You'll notice this video was shot back in September long before Beta 2. My screencast demo below was captured using a build for this week so you'll see some subtle changes.
Next, head over to microsoft.com and read up on Aero. It's a light weight article but useful for reference purposes. If you want to go slightly deeper, see the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) article. Most of the information in that article is useful for learning a little more about the requirements and mechanics.
Screencast Demo
My Windows Vista Flip3D screencast is available for viewing at a couple of locations. It is of course published here in Windows Media Video (WMV) format and will stream from our server. I also have a link below that says "attachment". It's actually a RSS <enclosure> for the WMV file so that if you have a video podcast player with WMV enclosure support, you can download the demo and view it offline. Maybe Zune will do that. If you are truly lazy like me, you can just right mouse click the attachment below and save it local for later viewing.
I have also posted this information to the screencast area of channel9. It is located at http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=226251.
The capture and conversion process is still imperfect. When you watch the video, please don't judge Windows Vista performance based on what you see in the screencast. The conversion drops frames and the full fidelity of the true user experience. I do think you'll get a pretty good idea of the feature though.
So what do you think about Aero Glass and Flip3D? Hopefully you found the Windows Vista Flip3D information above useful. As you can see, finding and "flipping" to an application is now very easy in Windows Vista.
I plan to record all of the demos we're doing at the live events. They are hardly a comprehensive look at the OS but hey, it's a Technical Overview so we're just sticking our toe in the water. All of my screencasts can be seen easily in this blogs screencast category. Subscribe to my screencast RSS feed at http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/rss.aspx?CategoryID=11416. "See you" again soon.
Windows Vista Flip 3D
My teammate, Keith Combs, has a cool little screencast plus a ton of links to...
Nicely done Keith! Thanks for the sweet demo. It's great to have a video to show flip 3D when we're doing VPC demos. You rock! :-)
-Tim Barrett
You are welcome. Just keep in mind the Halo 3 behind the scenes video is a super high resolution widescreen video and Camtasia isn't doing full 29.9 frame capture so it makes the video look choppy. The actual experience is very different. But, as you can see from the recent screencasts I've recorded, it's doing a really good job on a platform it was not designed for.
Great job! What version of Camtasia are you using? I have 2.0 and am having serious headaches trying to do video screen capture sessions with it on Vista (see my blog entry at http://www.mikeysgblog.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=233 )Also, Windows Media Encoder has been useless in trying to do such captures. Also, I see you are publishing to Microsoft hosted servers. Is this something that all internal employees have access to? I host my blog via winisp but their max storage for WMV is 200mb which goes fast. Thanks
Thanks. I use Camtasia Studio 3.1.2. Yes, the streaming media servers are available for your use, if you are a Microsoft full time employee. I'll send you the whitepaper I wrote that details all of the tools and procedures I use.

November 29, 2015
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - Police say they caught a bumbling bank
robber who crashed his getaway car and fled by bus and taxi, only
to make it home and find his roommate dead.
Authorities found nearly $4,000 stolen from a Darien bank after
the suspect called 911 to report the roommate's apparent suicide.
Fifty-nine-year-old David Maksimik was brought before a federal
magistrate in Bridgeport Tuesday.
Police say he held up the bank on Jan. 29 and rear-ended another
car fleeing the robbery. They say Maksimik didn't make it home
until he got rides on a bus, a taxi and with his sister.
Maksimik found his roommate dead and called 911. Police
responding to the suicide say they found the bank money inside a
bag on Maksimik's bed.

The crew member who chased a tire across pit road, forcing NASCAR to throw a race-changing caution at Atlanta Motor Speedway, has been suspended four races.
Jimmy Watts was also placed on probation through the end of the
year. He works for Marcos Ambrose's crew, and was not allowed to
finish Sunday's race at Atlanta.
He chased a rolling tire across pit road and into the infield
grass when it got away from Ambrose's stall during a round of
green-flag stops 67 laps into the race. NACAR called a caution and
the action put more than half the field at least one lap down.
NASCAR rule prohibit crew members may not go on the race track
while cars are racing or while cars are running under yellow or red

Fathers of toddlers will understand why this project is taking so !#$^$&$#@ long.
Anyway, I've got my power cables hooked up to the battery, fuses in place, and the 4-channel amplifier I'm going to use (Pioneer) installed and working. (Unfortunately, the PC isn't in the van yet, so my wife has to plug her ipod directly into the amp to listen to anything as the factory head unit is now completely disconnected).
Most of my time lately has been spent getting all the software setup correctly. The video player issue discussed in the post immediately above this one has taken a considerable amout of time. I got it working really well, but I've hit a major snag when I introduced the iGuidance GPS software...
iGuidance voice/audio/sound output
Anyway, while I'm waiting to figure out what I'm going to do with that, I'm ready to drop the screen and PC into the van. Will post photos when that's finally done.

The South Fork Walla Walla River Trail provides water and shade on really steamy summer days, so Nora the Schnauzer and I can handle a two- or three-hour walk upstream and back.
That's what it takes to run her battery down.
So I told myself when she became too rambunctious in the evenings, after sleeping all day during a recent heat wave.
We started our latest trek up the river at late morning, with temperature already reaching the damp T-shirt level in the valley.
Nora, as usual, clocked a double-time pace with her nose to the ground that outdistanced me by 40 yards before she paused to check if I followed, as she has trained me to do.
I followed, of course, not fast, but more speedy than full stop.
Well, until I saw a swarm of swallowtail butterflies fluttering among a stand of teasel on the cliff (or sunny) side of the two-track trail.
Perhaps the warm air explained their numbers, but whatever the cause, I stopped.
I snapped a dozen photos of yellow and black swallowtails on blue blooms.
When I turned to resume, Nora sat in the middle of the road and gazed off toward the river. She looked my way, turned and trotted on.
At that moment, however, a black and white swallowtail fluttered in among the white blossoms on a shrub and landed. So, I paused again, for another bunch of photos as Nora trotted out of sight.
When I looked up, she sat in the shade beside the trail.
So, I caught up and we continued.
Soon after that, Nora stopped to look behind us. I looked, and a handsome brown dog trotted about 100 yards back. I didn't see a person, so we continued with Nora leading the way.
Ten minutes passed as I strode along, glancing into the shadows for deer, elk, cougars or bears.
Then something moist and cool touched my left hand, and I elevated straight up.
The handsome brown dog, wearing a smile, stood beside me. It looked familiar close-up, and I looked back to see Kathy Howard of Walla Walla a few yards back.
So, Rascal had sneaked up on me. The rascal.
Nora and I often meet Kathy and Rascal walking at Mill Creek. And we sometimes see her husband Chris running there or at the lake.
Chris and I once skied to within a stone's throw, with a catapult, of Table Rock and camped overnight.
Chris, who has climbed Mount Rainier, would have made it, but I slowed him down.
Anyway, passed again, Nora and I followed.
An hour or so later, we met Kathy and Rascal on their way back. Kathy said she had seen two snakes, a rattlesnake and a black racer.
We stopped at the crumbling cabin, with a spring dribbling from an ancient pipe, about three miles up the river.
Up the that point, Nora had scared up one grouse, and I had snapped the usual scenic shots, along with more butterfly photos, including a fritillary on a black cone-head blossom and a Great Basin wood nymph squaring off with a spider on a limb (the wood nymph flew).
We didn't see a snake, but we saw the crooked track one left as it wriggled across the dusty trail.
We ate our snacks at the old cabin and headed back as dark clouds rolled up the river. In a few minutes sheets of rain drenched us.
With a sweat-soaked shirt, I welcomed the cool shower. The sopping Nora looked bedraggled but didn't act upset.
The rain passed quickly, and a half hour later Nora wore curly, dry hair again.
We passed a fly fisher a mile from the trailhead and two women having a picnic beside the trail half-a-mile up.
Nora met all three, and she munched a piece of bread dropped by the women.
So, all-in-all, on a hot summer day, the South Fork Walla River Trail measured up.

Russian Art
Kiprensky, O. A. Yevgraf Vladimirovich Davidov. 1809
Portrait of Colonel Yevgraf Vladimirovich Davidov (1775-1823), of the Transfiguration Life-Guards Regiment Like the painting of Alexei Romanovich Tomilov [see previous image], but executed with more complex coloring and composition, this military portrait also recalls the painting of Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (French 1758-1823). Kiprensky successfully conveys a sense of relaxed confidence in his sitter. Renouncing the arrogance typical of certain English military depictions or the stiffness of too many French uniformed sitters, Kiprensky has opted for the sort of presentation associated with the best French Romantic painters -- one which emphasizes rich color, light, and a compelling demeanor. The precise identity of the subject of this painting has been the topic of much debate. Originally thought to be Denis Davidov, poet and hero of the Patriotic War of 1812, Kiprensky's notes suggest that the portrait is actually of Denis Davidov's cousin, Yevgraf Davidov. (00243)

The goal of the Unattended Setup or Push Installation is to allow system administrators to automatically install and configure Windows 95* throughout an organization. Both new and upgrade Windows 95 installations can be done using the same procedure. Microsoft's recommendation is to use this strategy if there are 50 or more computers to be installed in a company. In this document, only the Unattended Setup of the Windows 95 operating system will be discussed, but the method is applicable also for Windows Applications installation and software upgrades from the common source throughout the organization.
From the LAN Adapter manufacturer's prospective, the main objective regarding the Push Installation is to get the client connected to the Windows NT* server properly before the installation begins using the NDIS2 driver and to keep the same client connected using the NDIS3 or NDIS4 driver after Windows 95 is installed without any end user's actions. The main difficulty is that the list of supported adapters on the Windows 95 and Windows NT CD-ROMs is limited. Special steps must be performed to update the Installation Image on the Server and modify the scripts that automate the installation process for the adapter(s) which are not on the list.
The procedure described below is addressed to System Administrators and/or the Technical Support staff. It requires the following knowledge and experience:
Once the Installation Image on the Windows NT Server and the Setup Disk are prepared by a qualified engineer, the end user can run the Unattended Setup for different systems and even modify some parameters in the installation script.
Process steps:
* assumed that the shared image on the server's hard drive has been created already *
** if not use the NT 4.0 Server CD-ROM as a source and follow the standard procedure described in the Windows NT 4.0 Server User manual to create this share **
Now your Setup Disk is ready.
Multiple system models
If different models of PCs are used in the company and require different configurations, then different installation scripts and different Setup Disks could be prepared. The script files may have any names, i.e. MSBAT1.inf, MSBAT2.inf etc. The proper script name must be indicated as a parameter for SETUP in the last command of the proper AUTOEXEC.BAT on the Setup Disk:
The recommendation is to label these Setup Disks with information to match the appropriate clients.
Multiple adapters
If different LAN adapters are used in the company and require different configurations, then different installation scripts and different Setup Disks could be prepared. To do this, repeat the steps 6 - 10 for every type of adapter to integrate the appropriate INF file to the Installation Image and prepare the specific MS Client Setup Disks.
Automatic upgrades
System Administrators can automate upgrades of the common software for all clients using the SMS (System Management Server). The set-up upgrade script can be run as a mandatory job for all clients. This method requires the SMS agents to be installed on the all involved client systems.

This terrific new drama unfolds the stories of three amazing and very different women (a divorced Mom, an elderly widow and a young lesbian coming out and falling in love) whose paths cross in a steam room. STEAM stars Ally Sheedy (HIGH ART, THE BREAKFAST CLUB), Alan Ritchson (HUNGER GAMES CATCHING FIRE -in production), Ruby Dee (the legendary actress of RAISIN IN THE SUN fame) and sexy newcomer Kate Siegel (CURSE OF THE BLACK DAHLIA) as a young lesbian coming out and falling in love with her new friend (played by Reshma Shetty, star of the hit show "Royal Pains"). Plus, an awesome appearance by Chelsea Handler!

College baseball: Virginia beats Mississippi on ninth-inning double
Omaha, Neb. • With one swing of the bat, Mike Papi delivered a victory for Virginia in its College World Series opener and kept a sensational pitching performance from potentially going to waste.
Papi's RBI double into right-center with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning gave Virginia a 2-1 win Sunday night. The Cavaliers' win came as Nathan Kirby and Artie Lewicki combined for the first one-hitter at the CWS in 31 years.
"I'm playing for the guys next to me. I'm doing everything I can to get the job done," Papi said. "When we have two guys like Nathan and Artie do a fantastic job and only give up one hit, our offense needs to put it together and give them more run support."
The win sent Virginia (50-14) into a winners game against TCU on Tuesday night. Ole Miss (46-20) meets Texas Tech in an elimination game in the afternoon.
"I thought they outplayed us tonight," Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco said. "Not by much, but enough to make a difference, especially in this tight of a ball game."
Virginia was just 1 for 13 with runners in scoring position when Papi went to the plate in the ninth. The Rebels elected to pitch to the Cavaliers' top hitter and RBI leader even though first base was unoccupied.
Aaron Greenwood (3-2) ran the count full before Papi drilled the ball into the gap, allowing Nate Irving to score from second.
"We kept getting opportunities and couldn't get that big hit to tack on some more runs," Virginia coach Brian O'Connor said. "I guess we saved it for the dramatic there in the ninth."
Lewicki (2-0) earned the win after Kirby gave up one hit and one run over seven innings. Ole Miss converted two walks and a groundout to tie it in the eighth.
The one-hitter was the first in the CWS since Alabama's Alan Dunn and Tim Meacham combined for one against Arizona State in 1983.
TCU 3, Texas Tech 2 • Boomer White drove in the go-ahead run in a dramatic eighth inning, and TCU beat Big 12 rival Texas Tech.
The Horned Frogs (48-16) fell behind in the top of the eighth after starting pitcher Preston Morrison left the game, but they came back in the bottom half against Tech closer Jonny Drozd.
TCU, the No. 7 national seed, moves to a Tuesday game against Virginia. Texas Tech (45-20) will play Ole Miss.

Through immaturity, ineptitude and missed opportunities, President Barack Obama misread the will of the American people. A political vacuum was created, which forced the creation of the tea party.
I find it ironic now that Obama and his supporters are so intent on bad-mouthing and destroying the tea party. You created it, so now you have to deal with it.
The cat is out of the box now. It is too late to put it back.

Obama made tea party
Through immaturity, ineptitude and missed opportunities, President Barack Obama misread the will of the American people. A political vacuum was created, which forced the creation of the tea party.
Through immaturity, ineptitude and missed opportunities, President Barack Obama misread the will of the American people. A political vacuum was created, which forced the creation of the tea party.
And that's the tea party? Oy vey. Protecting us from the government? No thanks tea party. Go live in a bunker. Take your stupid and harmful debates about the debt ceiling with you.
Doesn't really matter where it came from. What matters if how it is going to continue to change the face of politics in this country. Someone has to have some common sense.
Thank God for the Tea Party.
The commenter...so is this your final comment?
There are many factors which have contributed to the drop in the President's approval ratings. Some are a direct result of his own behavior, decisions and missteps which is as it should be. Some is a result of a general national malaise and pessimism driven by very challenging circumstances which is the way it always will be.
Robert -
I do have to disagree about the date the Tea Party started. When the Bush administration rolled out TARP and many politicians voted for it in spite of a massive telephone campaign against it we began to come together. Here in Missouri Congressman Cleaver admitted that the vast majority of callers were against TARP but he voted for it anyway. Claire McCaskill said that she didn't like TARP but would "hold her nose and vote for it anyway". Some people began sending tea bags to both Congress and to President Bush and making plans for rallies. Following Rick Santelli's rant we did come together and the Tea Party was born. History is now ongoing.
For those who say that the Tea Party didn't begin having rallies until Obama had been elected are correct. Planning nationwide rallies is not an easy task. One recent example of planning taking time is the months of planning which went into the left's "Day of Rage" on Wall St. and the current Van Jones initiative to mobilize people for their "Rebuild The Dream" initiative.
Obama did not cause the Tea Party to form but he has continually stoked the fires of the Tea Party movement with his costly, big government agenda.
TRA...You are sooooo adamantly against the Tea Party...making it impossible to debate issues...
...might want to stay away from MSNBC today....
This is where I disagree about the origin of the tea party. How could Obama have been so immature and inept in the first three months of his presidency? Especially when he was handed a seriously screwed up economy on a platter? This is where my suspicions of tea party racism lie...
The Tea Party is a joke. They don't want government intervention...unless gay people are going to get married...then its ok if the government intervenes. It's leaders in congress preach fiscal responsibility, but happily except farm subsidies from the government. They're all about the constitution, except the part about freedom of religion...the US is only a Christian nation in their eyes. They are wiling to put their draconian ideology over every thing else, booing a US soldier simply because he is gay. But thankfully, the Tea Party is rapidly losing support. Only around 20% of Americans hold a favorable view of them, and for good reason.
Steven, how many of those 53% are still with the President?
His subsequent actions have been the cause of the plunging % of people who still support him.
...The reason Obama received 53% of the vote was because of his cheers of "Yes We Can" and "Change"...(many independents along with democrats were mad at GW Bush's overspending & the wars)..... (Tea Party)
...Trouble is - many didn't really know what sort of changes would be occurring.....
The Tea Party had it's beginnings under the Bush administration. You could argue the Tea Party seeds were germinating 10, 20, 30 years ago in the various front organizations like AFP and CSE the Koch brothers funded to push their plutocratic vision for the USA.
But, the TeaBaggers "came out" with Rick Santelli's rant on CNBC against the "Homeowners Affordability and Stability Plan", 19Feb09. His rant against "bailouts for losers" mid-wifed the birth of the modern TeaBaggers.
I was under the impression that the Tea Party, by the account of many of its members, actually began to get traction and take form at the end of the Bush administration provoked by a series of moves to combat the economic crisis, especially the TARP legislation and aggressive actions by the Fed. Tea Party types, is that correct?
By the way, since the President was elected decisively at about the time the Tea Party was forming exactly what was the will of the people which he misread? His very election was a reflection of the will of approx 53% of those voting.

Your code doesn't compile; in line 85 there is a variable
that is not declared anywhere.
The reason why your code doesn't work properly is this: The Swing toolkit for making GUIs uses threads in a specific way. The most important thread to be aware of is the
event dispatch thread
, on which Swing will run all painting code and all callbacks to handle events such as button clicks.
Your paint() method never returns - it contains a never ending loop in lines 72 - 98. That means that you block the event dispatching thread forever, so that your program cannot react to events anymore, such as resizing or closing the window.
To make your program run smoothly, you must always make sure that things that run on the event dispatch thread return as quickly as possible. You must put the code from lines 72 - 98 somewhere else, and not inside the paint() method or another method that runs on the event dispatch thread.

The new effort to recall Senate President Steve Sweeney simply because he supports one single piece of anti-gun legislation is ridiculous. This is what civil discourse has come to in this country? Steve has voiced his support for a bill that would limit gun clips to 10 rounds instead of the current 15.
Doesn't sound like the end of the world, right? But in response, pro-gun folks have come out to attack him. And now they are trying to hide the utter joke that their recall effort is by claiming it's being done for other reasons.
Whether you support the idea of a recall or not, this is just plain ridiculous. It's these kinds of silly actions that have prevented our elected leaders from getting anything done. They are held hostage by fringe groups.
Sweeney has advocated for background checks and a reduction in gun clips to 10. These are common-sense safety measures designed to protect all of us. Time for this silliness to end.

In the two weeks since the launch of the new iPhone 3G, there's been a fly in the ointment.
Apple's MobileMe service that keeps the e-mail flowing to those iPhones hasn't been flowing so well. Outages have been spotty affecting pockets of users here and there. Without a major e-mail blackout, it has been enough to worry users and shake their confidence in the service's stability right now.
So much so, Apple has set up a MobileMe status blog to keep customers informed about what's going on regarding recent outages. Apparantly the blog came as direct order from Jobs himself requesting daily updates until MobileMe is less rickety.

Ire misguided
I can't help but wonder why Jack Markowitz, in his column "Not trying to alarm you, but ..." (Jan. 24 and TribLIVE.com), is so outraged that our democratic process allows seniors, parents and teachers, commuters or other average Americans the opportunity to express their views on our national budget priorities.
Where's equal outrage about the billion-dollar lobbying campaign in Washington targeting benefit cuts for seniors (who earn a whopping $14,000-a-year average Social Security benefit) simply to protect a trillion dollars in corporate tax breaks?
The real threat to our political process and economic future doesn't come from average Americans who want retirement security, good schools or safe bridges. That threat comes from well-financed lobbyists who've bought and paid for goodies that benefit only the wealthiest in our nation.
As a member of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security & Medicare, I'm glad to pay my $12 membership and write letters reminding Congress that the vast majority of Americans don't support shredding the retirement safety net to fix Washington's fiscal failures.

Andrew Edwards | January 13, 2014 | Comments
Marketing automation has no agenda except to respond to data and seek a return on marketing content. As marketers get familiar with its successes, marketing automation will grow rapidly.
A recent article in VentureBeat said that marketing automation tools had only a 3 percent penetration rate at non-tech companies. Meanwhile, marketers are clamoring for ways to act upon data.
More or less, the weakest link in the chain of digital analytics has been the "make necessary changes" part. It's now been several years since marketers began to understand that having the information alone really didn't help the business. Recommendations became important. And after recommendations, then action.
Action is messy. It hasn't had much to do, until recently, with automation. It required getting marketers, developers, creatives and business owners to agree on what changes were needed based on the data. And then the often too-laborious process of actually implementing the changes and trying to tell if there was a meaningful difference in the before and after states. Too often these efforts fell apart in partisan bickering between teams and refusal of many to take risks.
When we talk about marketing automation today, we are referring to SaaS offerings like Eloqua, Hubspot, Leadsius, Act-on and others that build a form of call-and-response matrix into marketing efforts. The easiest way to understand this is to compare it to what used to happen if you were reading a comic book when you were a kid, and saw an ad to "send away" for something either free or cheap. You would do that, and then you'd get more offers from the same company in the mail, as they hoped you'd soon spend more.
Much more dimensional and sophisticated versions of this are being played out by marketing automation tools, and according the the VentureBeat article, there's plenty of room to grow.
A recent example of how one company is addressing a call for marketing automation is Tealium's AudienceStream. Tealium already has a key foothold in the tag management industry, and that puts it at an important juncture of data collection. AudienceStream links the collected data from many sources (legacy of Tealium's TMS) and allows the marketer to quickly set rules, thresholds and triggers that communicate via new APIs to marketing-action software already in the market. In other words, an AudienceStream powers an Eloqua. Once the rules are set, AudienceStream can communicate with a tool like Eloqua and help determine what message goes out to what user without continuing human intervention.
We're not at the stage yet where entire site pages and app screens are being re-made on the spot based on very fresh data. We are at a stage where certain updatable modules on sites, and certain marketing messages can be automated and substituted based on data. The reason why this market sector has such growth potential is that it actually fixes a real problem.
While we've had lots of time to gnaw on old chestnuts like page views and unique visitors, we've hardly gotten to a point where we can say we've got organized, incremental methods that improve marketing velocity. And we know that most of the friction comes from friction between different teams with different agendas.
Marketing automation has no agenda except to respond to data and seek a return on marketing content. It frees up humans to do more strategic work. It may have only a small percentage of the market today, but as marketers get more and more familiar with successes based on these tools, that percentage is likely to begin growing rapidly in the near future.
Think of 2014 as the year when marketing automation finally got some of the recognition it deserves.

|Studies of urinary cystine precipitation in vitro: ontogeny of cystine nephrolithiasis and identification of meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid as a potential therapy for cystinuria.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 14654355 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Children with fully recessive (Type I/I) cystinuria have a high risk of stone formation in the first decade of life. To assess the tendency for cystine to precipitate in individual urine samples, we developed an in vitro assay in which radiolabelled cystine (4mM) was dissolved in urine at 37 degrees C after alkalization to pH 10. Samples were then brought to pH 5, cooled, and centrifuged. The % decrease in supernatant cpm was used as a measure of cystine precipitation (CP). CP varied widely among normal children (74%+/-34) whereas variability of repeated determinations on a single adult individual was modest (64%+/-3.3). The assay was used to compare various potential therapies for cystinuria. Precipitation of exogenous cystine from normal urine was strongly inhibited by addition of D-penicillamine (CP: 8%+/-3) or dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) (CP: 5%+/-1), at urinary concentrations attained by standard oral doses of each drug. Mercaptopropionylglycine (MPG) was moderately effective (CP: 43%+/-9), whereas captopril was a weak inhibitor (CP: 63%+/-12). Precipitation of endogenous cystine (2191 micromol/L) from a cystinuric patient showed that DMSA and D-penicillamine were again highly effective compared to the other agents. In addition DMSA and penicillamine added to the same patient's urine reduced the free cystine by 50% (as measured by automated amino acid analyzer) whereas MPG and captopril had no effect. In conclusion, DMSA is comparable to D-penicillamine as an in vitro inhibitor.

The Asian monopoly on finals day was thwarted by an unlikely British presence in the mixed doubles final, with the likes of Lee Yong Dae and Lin Dan on show there was Robert Blair and Gabrielle White to boost British hopes ahead of the All-England's next week.
Lin Dan's recent form has been a throwback to his all-conquering days of a few years ago, defeating Lee Chong Wei in Korea 5 weeks ago and his two game victory this week over team-mate and current world champion Chen Jin 21-19, 21-11. The Olympic champion will be the undoubted favourite going into the All-England's to claim his second Premier Series title of the year.
Liu Xin made it a pair of singles titles for China as she defeated Ayane Kurihana in the longest match of the day, winning in three games 21-13, 15-21, 21-9. Lee and Jung took the men's doubles title in an all-Korean final against Kim and Kim in a three game match and will be one of the favourites next week to claim a second title in two weeks.
Japan did claim one title this week, with Fujii and Kakiiwa defeating the Korean pair of Ha and Kim in a very one-sided affair, winning 21-6, 21-14 in a little over half and hour. Robert Blair and Gabrielle White took the mixed doubles title against the unseeded Japanese pair of Ikeda and Shiota, after dropping the opening game they fought back to take the title 16-21, 21-16, 21-15.
Lin Dan has been in ominous form this week in preparation for the All England Championships and has reached his second final of the year, where he will take on the 2nd seed and current world champion Chen Jin.
Lin Dan had little problem defeating the 3rd seeded Boonsak Ponsana in a 21-11, 21-11 match to book his place in the final. Chen Jin was in excellent form also in his victory over Park Sung Hwan in a one sided 21-14, 21-7 match. The women's singles final has also got Chinese interest in the 5th seeded Liu Xin who takes on Japan's Ayane Kurihana, who defeated Malaysia's Mew Choo Wong in a two game matchup.
Lee and Jung progressed safely into the final of the men's doubles with a superb 21-11, 21-9 victory over the 3rd seeded Koo and Tan in just 27 minutes. They will have Korean opponents in the final but not the likely finalists after Ko and Yoo's defeat to the unseeded Kim and Kim in a three game match to set up the all-Korean final. Korea also has interest in the women's doubles final, with Ha and Kim defeating the 7th seeded Matsuo and Naito in a tight two game victory and set up a final against the 5th seeded Fujii and Kakiiwa who defeated Kim and Kim of Korea in a 21-14, 21-13 victory.
The all-British semi final in the mixed doubles went the way of the higher seeded Blair and White, who defeated Bankier and Adcock in a 21-17, 21-17 victory to book their place in the final where they will take on the unseeded Japanese pair of Ikeda and Shiota who defeated the 3rd seeded Thai pair of Anugritayawon and Voravichitchaikul in a tight two game match.

Students are also reluctant to enroll in online degree programs, as an alternative to traditional, classroom-based ones, because many online courses do not offer credits towards obtaining a diploma. In fact, one of the group's recommendations to EU countries is that they recognise e-learning as a legitimate part of the educational system, and formalise it.

When we rely on outcomes as the measure, we miss the relational aspects of learning which entails the complex conversations around curricula. Deep learning could draw some of its philosophy from deep ecology which thinks not in terms of just outcomes, but about the context and conversations.

Creative thinking, analytical thinking, learning styles for different types of information, active rather than passive learning. All of these start from a young age.
All parents can encourage their children to use their brain - home learning is for every child, even those who go to school.

Another wonderful example of a use of the flipped classroom - calculus. By allowing for some lectures to be done on an individual basis while students may repeat, slow down, speed up, pause, review, respond and all that while the teacher is free to work individually with students, incrate th larning t h next level, help facilitate their discussions and intersts. The transfer to language study is so evident- imagine not spending hours in the classroom reteaching the grammar topics in foreign language, but instead answering individual pointed questions and facilitating conversations that incorporate those concepts. many of us went the route of no grammar only to see many students need it, particularly the older students. A flipped classroom allows for the possibility of individual progress while not stopping a whole class.
For those using this in history - flipping must free up time and mind space for collaborative thought and projects and some wonderful discussions!

I rarely assigned homework. It seemed counter-productive and counter-intuitive. The exception, if can be called homework, were projects which engaged students and their parents at home. This provided an untapped resource, excited students and parents, and was highly successful. I always provided more time for these projects so they did not work against learning.

Good piece, but need to consider also; this country is not really catering to multi-cultural group. But, we should learn from their examples - we in Australia definitely moving towards over-educating, with even prep losing its play-based approach. Also worth noting - the teacher in the classroom has the biggest impact on whether or not the students will learn - effective teachers=effective learners.

As we look at education today ask yourself does the process support students ability to dream their vision? Do we promote a vision of the future as they move through the school system (and think K - 16)?
This post explores these issues and provides resources to help you explore them.
Find a link to Seth Godin's book Stop Stealing Dreams (What is School For?). Check out a video where students share their dream of the future. Consider the guiding questions provided to help your students think about the future (and see two answers from students in Grades 5-6). There are many resources to help you and your class think about this issue and how it relates to the 21st century.

I particularly like the part that concerns to train for positive assertion versus constant compliance. The compliance to please teachers versus the ownership of learning all to please parents often provides a conflict for me.
Jenn Alevy's comment, January 13, 2014 3:44 AM
The only concern I have and I have not read the book, is that her assertions seem to be feeding into the culture of fear and would like to see the stats she refers to when she says youth crime is on the rise. And whose morals is she talking about? People come from a variety of countries and cultures, I hope she does not assume we are all on the same page about 'moral' issues, she may be more conservative while others are more liberal in their beliefs.

Interstate 475 in Ohio is a bypass route for Interstate 75 in the Toledo metropolitan area. It connects directly to the U.S. 23 freeway near Sylvania, then turns due east to meet Interstate 75 near downtown Toledo.
Interstate 475 first opened in 1963 between U.S. 20 and the town of Sylvania. The rest of the route was opened in segments and completed by 1972.
Under a 10-year $5 billion transportation improvement plan announced August 6, 2003 by Governor
Bob Taft, Interstate 475 will expand from four to six lanes between Corey Road (Exit 15) southward
to the Maumee River crossing. Additionally the Interstate 75 & 475 north interchange will be reconstructed and improved. A three-year, six-cent hike to the state's motor fuels tax will help cover the costs of these projects.1

|Compound odontoma associated with impacted maxillary incisors.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23263436 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Odontomas are considered to be the most common odontogenic tumors of the oral cavity. Some authors consider it as malformations rather than true neoplasms. The exact etiology of odontomes is still not known. Most odontomes are asymptomatic and are discovered during routine radiographic investigations. Odontomes generally cause disturbances in the eruption of the teeth, most commonly delayed eruption or deflection. The present report describes the surgical management of a case of compound odontoma in a 10-year-old boy who presented with a complaint of swelling in the maxillary right anterior region and retained deciduous incisors. The related literature is also being reviewed in this article.

There's TNT and the Bow and Arrow to make the Blambow combo weapon where Jasper Sanford hides. It's above east side shops in Food Court. You climb on the vending machines to the left (north) of Lombardi's and jump up and across (south).

Cannabis Indica seeds
29th Jul 2011 3 Comments »
When thinking about buying cannabis seeds you need to consider all the factors involved in the process.
Cannabis Indica plant is short bushy plant that has adapted to grow in cold climate and harsh weather what is a big plus because it will survive almost any conditions and temperatures. This plant has a wide big leafs that usually are in dark green color and the buds form big and strong due to the leaf shape and structure. If you are a beginner then Cannabis Indica is the plant to choose.
Indica seeds germinate at lower temperatures than sativa and the little sprout is more likely to survive the first few days. You can germinate Indica seeds in soil or on paper towel – it depends on the individual growers taste and skill but for beginners I would recommend to germinate the seeds right in the spot where they will grow.

The latest on the Ryan Ferguson front comes from a Facebook update.
His "Freed Ryan Ferguson" page has linked to a Men's Health contest to find the cover model for the November issue. Here's the criteria, according to the contest's webpage:
"This guy is physically fit, confident, stylish, career driven and a pillar of his community."
Naturally, Ryan entered himself into the competition. He announced his entry on his Facebook page on June 10, saying that winning the contest could be one of his life's dreams. That post how has more than 3,500 likes and 619 shares.
Ryan says he will use the platform of the contest to raise awareness and continue to educate people on the issue of wrongful conviction. We like definitely the idea of that and wish him the best of luck in those endeavors, but we have to admit — seeing his message paired alongside "best pec" tips might be a little strange.
But, you know, a national platform is never a bad thing.
Here's some of the reasons why he thinks he should win, according to his entry page:
- I love getting fit and healthy because it aids in my life goal to experience the most out of this journey by leaving nothing on the table!
- I entered the prison system a skinny teenager who knew very little about health and fitness. I used much of my wrongful incarceration educating myself on physical health, so that I may survive.
- Growing my body also helped keep my mind sane during this very difficult period of life.
- Living a third of my life unjustly locked away from friends and family inside of a tiny cage has made me redefine my take on "success." To me, success comes from within.
Of course, he also mentioned his forthcoming book: "As a free man I will continue grow and overcome challenges as I did with my fitness book that Penguin will soon publish!"
Another FB update on June 14 said Ryan was ranked in 10th place in the contest. Not bad, Ryan, not bad.
If you'd like to vote for Ryan, go to his entry page here to do so.
Ryan sure has been posting a lot of photos of himself looking buff in Florida to the page lately.
There is also a video that focuses on him completing a tough Spartan Race.
And, of course, who can forget the shirtless Christmas video of his father, Bill, and him thanking his supporters that was published shortly after he was released from prison?
