Master Reveals Details Of New Album
Death metal band Master has revealed that the band's new album will be entitled "The New Elite" and will be released in the latter half of 2012 through Pulverized Records. The album marks the band's eleventh studio album and first since the 2010 release "The Human Machine." The band is also streaming the new song "Smile As You're Told," which can be heard below.
Master mainman Paul Speckmann commented on the new album: "'The New Elite' deals with the problems we face in society at this current time. The rich are getting richer and the poor are starving on the streets all around the world while men battle each other for world dominance! Governments are grabbing the world by the balls and dictating the new rules of the soon-to-be New Elite, while the youth of today just sit down and take it. I really wonder if and when the youth of today will take a stand against these crazy fucked-up ruthless world leaders. The time has come to stand up and be counted!"
Army Of Darkness Tour Cancelled
Macabre has revealed through it's Facebook page that the Army of Darkness Tour 2012 with Massacre and Master has been cancelled.

Massacre still hopes to go over to Europe in the summertime to play a few shows that will not conflict with Terry Butler's Obituary schedule. Master issued the following statement on it's Facebook page: "I am sorry to say that the Massacre, Macabre and Master tour is cancelled. A big apology goes out for sure to all the fans and promoters, but unfortunately in today's world of business it is hard to find a reputable booking agent and the days are gone to take such risks with guys like Marcus Schreiber. After 10 days of no answers, contracts or final confirmation of the dates we are forced to cancel the tour." - (Paul Speckmann and Master) Rick Rozz DeLillo (Massacre) had the following succinct thing to say: "We saved ourselves a 100% nightmare, and the year has just begun."

Lightning Swords Of Death Comments On Tour
Los Angeles black metal collective Lightning Swords of Death, who were slated to kick off a month-long U.S. tour supporting death metal legends Master last week, were forced to head back home when the headliners were prevented from entering the country.
Commented vocalist Autarch of the unfortunate tour cancellation: "Know this: Lightning Swords of Death was thoroughly prepared for this tour only to be thwarted by circumstances beyond our control. I assure you all, we shall return with a vengeance in the near future.
"Already the black teet of kaos have begun to drip strange opportunity upon the ashes of this Master disaster. I shall reveal more details as they materialize."
The band's second album "The Extra Dimensional Wound," was released via Metal Blade Records last year on vinyl in December via Canonical Hours Records and is available as a deluxe gatefold LP featuring two 200-gram discs with a 12-page booklet and expanded artwork in a limited edition of 500 copies.
Master Cancels U.S. Tour
Death metal act Master, which was scheduled to kick off a U.S. tour this week with support from Lightning Swords of Death and Mobile Deathcamp, was denied entry into the country and forced to return to the Czech Republic.
Master main man Paul Speckmann issued the following statement:
"We arrived Tuesday morning in Holland and after intense questioning we proceeded to the eye and body scan machine. Along with the other passengers, we proceeded to the plane. We arrived in Detroit and went to passport control. I waited for about two hours for any word on the guys. The police came to explain that the visa waiver program didn't apply to musicians. So they sent me to customs and proceeded to tear apart everything and sent me on my way. I waited for six hours to get on another airplane and return to Europe.
"Thankfully the lady at the Delta checkout counter was very helpful and confirmed that the guys would be on the next plane in the evening and I could return with them. The guys were escorted to the plane by four police officers and returned their passports when we arrived in Amsterdam. Since when are musicians and terrorists in the same category? Again I apologize to all the bands, organizers and fans of course. I guess the CD cover of the Human Machine CD has become a reality!"
Additional information on rescheduled dates and whether the supporting bands will be continuing the tour will be announced as details become available.

West Seattle jail-site fight: Conlin wants to reopen talksApril 9, 2009 at 12:54 pm | In Highland Park, West Seattle jail sites, West Seattle news, West Seattle politics | Comments Off
This item was going to be part of our forthcoming wrapup of various campaign speeches at last night's 34th District Democrats meeting, but we've just received a response to a followup question we sent City Council President Richard Conlin, so we're breaking it out: During his campaign speech to the 34th DDs (photo left), he mentioned the jail issue – Seattle teaming up with several other cities to pursue a potential new municipal-misdemeanor jail, with the potential sites including West Marginal Way/Highland Park Way SW – and told the 34th DDs: "… siting a new jail … is a terrible idea; we should only have to do it if we absolutely have to do it. I'm encouraged by a significant decrease in the King County jail population (recently) … we're going to be sending King County a letter asking to reopen discussions about accommodating misdemeanants, so that we won't go ahead (with a jail) unless we are ABSOLUTELY SURE we have to." In other words, Conlin intends to ask a question others have posed before: Can't the county keep handling misdemeanor inmates, at least a while longer, since their jail population in general has been dropping? We e-mailed Conlin this morning for a followup, and he replied:
Councilmember Burgess and I have decided to send this letter, but not sure yet whether it will be just from us or from the whole Council. We just made the decision this week and have not drafted it yet, but expect to do so shortly.
(Councilmember Tim Burgess chairs the council's Public Safety Committee.) Officially, as noted in our coverage of recent Highland Park Action Committee meetings, the jail-site search is in the environmental-review phase. (WSB coverage of this issue is archived here, newest to oldest.)

RIM co-CEOs bemoan critics, admits BlackBerry may not lead
updated 11:35 am EDT, Mon April 11, 2011
RIM's CEOs say critics focus on wrong areas
RIM's co-CEOs in an interview published Monday went on the defensive against critics of their performance in smartphones. Mike Lazaridis didn't "fully understand" the reactions and instead wanted to steer people to high profits, growth, and international expansion that was taking the BlackBerry to 170 countries. The only answer was to "prove it over and over and over," he told the New York Times.
His counterpart Jim Balsillie argued that market share alone wasn't the issue and that RIM could thrive in the next five years just by continuing to grow and be successful. "You don't have to be all things to all people," he said.
He added that the platform transition RIM was performing, to switch from the legacy BlackBerry platform to the QNX roots used first in the BlackBerry PlayBook and later to go into BlackBerry 7. Apple has been one of the few companies to successfully switch over to a completely new OS or hardware platform, having moved first to Mac OS X and later from PowerPC to Intel.
"It's almost never done, and it's way harder than you realize," Balsillie explained. "This transition is where tech companies go to die."
Both responses mostly sidestepped the reason for concern. The BlackBerry has been losing share quickly in its core US market and has also been ceding ground in its home country of Canada as well as parts of Europe. The worldwide growth highlighted by Lazaridis has focused mostly on lower-end phones like the BlackBerry Curve 3G and sometimes on prepaid users, neither of which makes as much money per person as high-end, subscription BlackBerry users.
Premium smartphones have been a major weak point for RIM as Apple's iPhone and Android phones from HTC, Motorola, Samsung and others have consistently outperformed recent BlackBerry phones, even at the low end.
RIM may bounce back in mid-year once it launches the Torch 2, Bold Touch and other parts of a new lineup. All of the phones known so far are much faster and have higher resolution displays, 720p HD video, NFC, and other technologies that should bring them up to date.

» NYSE Euronext's CEO Hosts 2012 Annual Meeting (Transcript)
I would now like to turn the call over to Stephen Davidson, Head of Investor Relations at NYSE Euronext. Please go ahead, sir.
Stephen Davidson
Thanks, Caris. Good morning, and welcome to the NYSE Euronext Third Quarter 2012 Earnings Conference Call.
Before I introduce today's speakers, let me remind you that comments on the call may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. These statements are based on NYSE Euronext's current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause NYSE Euronext's actual results to differ materially from those in the statements. These forward-looking statements speak as of today and you should not rely on them as representing our views in the future. Please refer to our SEC filings for a full discussion of the risk factors that may affect any forward-looking statements. Except for any obligation to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, NYSE Euronext undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after this conference call.
We will discuss non-GAAP financial measures during this call. These non-GAAP measures are fully reconciled in the tables attached to the text of the earnings press release that we issued earlier today. We believe that these tables provide investors useful information about our business trends. However, our non-GAAP measures do not replace and are not superior to GAAP measures.
Duncan Niederauer, our Chief Executive Officer, will review the highlights for the quarter, update you on key business developments in our businesses and conclude with his outlook on various regulatory and macro issues. Michael Geltzeiler, our Chief Financial Officer, will then review the financial results for the quarter. We will then open the line for your questions. Also in the room for the Q&A session is Larry Leibowitz, Chief Operating Officer.
We are incorporating slides for the call today, which are available for viewing on our website, and Duncan and Mike will refer to the slides during their remarks.
With that, let me now turn the call over to Duncan.
Duncan L. Niederauer
Thanks, Stephen. Good morning, everybody. Thanks for joining today's call on such an important day in the U.S. here, Election Day. Do try to get out and vote. Our town doesn't have any power so I guess we're going to be doing it old-school today, but we'll -- it -- we're going to make sure we do that tonight.
Before I get into the results, I do want to take a few minutes to talk about Hurricane Sandy. It was a pretty challenging week for our community here at NYSE Euronext and many of the communities in and around the East Coast. However, I couldn't be more proud of our teams that worked here nonstop over really the last week or 10 days. As usual, we led the industry from the front in helping to build a consensus to close the markets last Monday and Tuesday, which I firmly believe was the right thing to do. And with Wednesday's historic reopening, I can attribute that to the result of truly heroic efforts on the part of many of our key people. Not only did we reopen the market smoothly when the entire surrounding area was still in darkness but we had 3 IPOs come to market last Friday, which is a testament to the resiliency of the U.S. markets.
So now let me focus on the third quarter. During the quarter, we made significant progress with new product development and our key initiatives that will drive future growth, and we'll highlight those throughout the presentation that Mike and I will do. We're focusing on those levers of our business model that are in our control and that we can influence to deliver value for our shareholders over the long term, well beyond the current lackluster trading environment. As you know, we've made a lot of headway over the last few years in diversifying our business model, a large portion of our -- although we've made a lot of headway, a large portion of our revenues remain linked to trading, and our derivatives franchise in Europe has been especially impacted by macro conditions and deleveraging, driving lower levels of hedging and speculation. But contrary to what many are saying today, this is not a structural shift in the market in my opinion, and we see the current climate as an opportunity to focus the company for growth when macro conditions return to normal. At the same time, we need to remain focused on further diversification into our technology, data and post-trade businesses.
In some respects, I feel about NYSE Euronext the way I do about the U.S. economy, well positioned to grow under the right conditions. But for the moment, we are still facing strong macroeconomic headwinds and our results for the third quarter reflect this. We reported $0.44 for the quarter and $559 million in revenue compared to $0.71 on $704 million in revenue in the prior year third quarter.

Has your New Year's resolution to hit the gym faltered a bit?

Looking at 92nd Street Y running team's race results from Sunday's NYC Half Marathon makes us equally thankful for their fundraising efforts to benefit the 92Y Youth Scholarship fund, as well as impressed with their race times. Almost all the runners who received complimentary pre-race coaching from 92Y May Center trainers ranked above the 50 percent mark for world-class speed when adjusted for their ages. We consider their performances strong testimony showing people across all age groups can make remarkable physical achievements.
An example of taking personal performance to the next level is Joseph Vento, whose maximum running distance prior to training for the Half Marathon was three miles on a treadmill. Nine weeks later, Vento not only completed the 13.1-mile urban race course, he turned in a respectable 2:06:34 race time. Garth Johnson, a 92Y May Center trainer who worked with the running team, beamed with pride: "It's a great feeling to help others achieve their goals. Their bodies are at a level of fitness where they can achieve new and more ambitious fitness goals, if they choose to do so."
Experiencing dramatic gains in physical performance takes time. Cliff Turner, another May Center trainer who worked with the 92Y running team, advises anyone who would like to follow Vento's example to start small and gradually add distance over an extended time period. "Adding a mile every one or two weeks will yield positive results," says Turner. "However, adding more than two miles per week can be counter-productive."
Once again, many thanks and congratulations to our runners! See the race results for each 92Y race team member, and visit this page to learn how to interpret the results.

92nd Street Y welcomes the newest additions to the NY Knicks, Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups, to the Big Apple. Their performance against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night confirms our belief that basketball in this town is about to change in a big way.
Perhaps Melo and Chauncey can follow the steps of former Knicks stars Walt "Clyde" Frazier and Hubert Davis and drop by the 92Y Lane Gym to check out our game. Hey, they can schlepp Amar'e with them. Joakim Noah and Jamal Mashburn found plenty of action here in their younger years.

The Jewish Week visited the 92nd Street Y May Center to check out a hot, new fitness class, DrumCore™ – and it was love at first sight, of drumsticks and stability balls:
Lesley Younge, a math teacher at the Dalton School, and another DrumCore enthusiast, says that the class provides a much-needed release after a stressful day. "You can pound out all of the day's frustrations," says Younge, who also enjoys the "interesting patterns" that Sharp introduces, and says that "you really feel your heart rate go up."
Developed by Sharp, DrumCore draws from a fitness phenomenon called Drums Alive, which, while still unusual in New York City, has been reverberating around the world over the last decade or so. Sharp modeled his class after Drums Alive, but added a series of core-building exercises on the ball, which follow the drumming component of his classes. "It's more of a work-out than people would imagine," says Sharp, who first learned about Drums Alive at a fitness conference in 2005.

According to the FDA, despite fiber being present in a wide variety of fruits, grains and vegetables, most Americans do not consume a sufficient amount of fiber. Getting fiber into our diets has not become any easier these days, since our consumption of processed foods – which typically have significantly less fiber – continues to increase.
This is unfortunate. In addition to weight loss, fiber has been recommended as an important part of several wellness strategies, including internal waste removal, colon health and cholesterol management.
But what is the best way to make fiber a part your daily eating routine so that you can realize the maximum benefits? Tanya Zuckerbrot, MS, RD, a Manhattan based nutritionist and the author of The F-Factor Diet: Discover the Secret to Permanent Weight Loss, will provide her thoughts on how you can improve your health and weight management when she visits 92nd Street Y next Tuesday on February 15.
Related: On March 1 Lisa Mann is here for The Healthful Power of Raw Energy.
14 runners with a broad range of backgrounds and running abilities answered 92Y's recruitment call so far. Rebecca Epstein told us: "I am running in my first Half Marathon to inspire other people to exceed their preconceived limitations. This run is in memory of my parents." And Kevin L. Lam said: "I've been a fighter of health issues during childhood. I am running to promote the importance of physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle among teens."
Personal Trainers Garth Johnson and Cliff Turner will work with the runners and administer a conditioning program designed by Dave Schmeltzer, Director of the May Center for Health, Fitness & Sport. Personal Training Coordinator David Simmons will manage the conditioning program.
A limited number of 92Y team member slots remain; sign up here!

As the health and fitness world mourns the loss of Jack LaLanne – who passed away at the age of 96 over the weekend, we want to reflect on LaLanne's advocacy of exercise, fitness centers and healthy eating decades before they became the focus of nationwide marketing campaigns. As a matter of fact, according to The New York Times, LaLanne claimed when he opened his first spa in 1936: "The doctors were against me — they said that working out with weights would give people heart attacks and they would lose their sex drive."
LaLanne's healthy lifestyle enabled him to maintain an impressive physique into his senior years. His example should remind all of us about the tremendous benefits we can reap from diet and exercise.
The 92Y May Center of Health, Fitness & Sport offers a range of fitness programs to facilitate these benefits and support longevity, such as personal nutrition counseling, aquatics, personal training and Yoga and Pilates.
Here's to a long and healthy life!
OK, so you've made your New Year's resolution. Are you ready for Kettlebells? The workout is over a century old, and is considered one of the most effective no-gimmicks approaches to developing lean, powerful muscles and cardiovascular endurance.
Russia's legendary strongmen have used kettlebells since the 1700s and kettlebell strength competitions were elevated to the status of a Russian national sport by the 1940's. Martial artists, actors, law enforcement personnel and fitness enthusiasts also include kettlebells in their fitness programs. As a matter of fact, you come to the May Center Open House tonight and do kettlebell drills from 6-8 pm with trainers. The first 50 people who join the 92Y May Center at our Fitness Open House will receive $400 off* membership plus three complimentary months!
So what are the benefits of kettlebells? They offer a number of benefits over traditional weights and popular resistance machines:
You made a New Year's resolution to get in shape. Now what?
Studies show less than half of all people actually keep their New Year's resolutions after six months, so your odds for realizing your health and fitness goals by June of next year might be 50-50 at best. So the challenge is, how do you make sure you are in the right 50%?
Maintaining the motivation to make your New Year's health and fitness resolution a reality is just as important as the diet and exercise required to achieve it. To that end, we asked a few members of the 92Y May Center for Health, Fitness & Sport what motivates them to work out. Perhaps what they have to say can help you achieve your fitness goals in 2011:
Whose running the NYC Half-Marathon next March?! We'll see you there! 92nd Street Y is an official Charity Partner of the NYC Half-Marathon. The 92Y race team will be raising funds on behalf of 92Y Youth Sports Scholarship Fund, which provides Youth Sports Scholarships to children whose families can not afford for them, to participate in programs designed to build healthy lifestyles. All of our runners will benefit from twice weekly runs, free gym membership, training tips and more. Learn about joining our race team.

Thursday 12 January 2012
The Price Edward Theatre is a famous theatre in London's West End. It is located on Old Compton Street in the city of Westminster, London, just north of Leicester Square.
Designed by architect Edward A Stone who was a joint architect of the Piccadilly Theatre in 1928, the building itself was a big success. The auditorium was large and seated 1,650 people and the stage was much larger than most theatre's at the time, only exceeded by Drury Lane and Covent Garden. It was specifically designed to accommodate extravagant musical shows.
Named after the Prince of Wales at the time, it opened on 3 April 1930 with the romantic musical comedy Rio Rita starring Edith Day and Geoffrey Gwyther. This show was a huge hit in New York, however sadly the Prince Edwards debut show was not such a hit closing after only 59 performances.
Doing slightly better at the box office was the musical Nippy starring Binnie Hale, opening in 1930 followed by Fanfare, Lady Inverclyde and Un Vent de Folie. After acting as the venue for a series of trade film shows, Aladdin was the next to open. This show closed in January 1935 with insufficient money to pay the artists wages.
The next stage of the Prince Edward Theatre's life was much more lucrative and quite exciting with the theatre being transformed into a cabaret-restaurant. Large kitchens were installed underneath the stage, a semi-circular revolving dance floor was put in and staircases linking the dress circle and stalls. It was then re-opened on 2 April 1936 as the London Casino. It's opening revue was called Folies Parisiennes. It was soon the place to go for an evening out and for the first time in its life, was making money.
In 1940 the Blitz brought all the fun to an end and the theatre was dark for the next two years. It then re-opened again in 1942 as the home of the Queensberry All-Services Club where the service members would make moral boosting broadcasts to troops overseas. By the time the club closed, it had made over 2500 broadcasts. After the war the theatre re-opened again as the London Casino. In 1954 the cinema craze hit London and for the next few years the theatre was converted into a cinema with a 64ft wide screen.
In 1990 Bernard Delfont and Cameron Mackintosh decided to rebuild the theatre and spent over £3 million on a complete refurbishment. This was all done in just over three months and opened again as the Prince Edward Theatre. Since then it has housed many huge hits including Crazy For You, West Side Story, Some Like It Hot, Mamma Mia and Mary Poppins. Currently showing in the Prince Edward Theatre is Jersey boys which has been a hit since opening in March 2008.

Builders Expected To Change Pleas In Bribery Case
Bruce Chait, Shawn Chait Accused Of Bribing Commissioners
A Coral Springs builder and his son, who are both accused of making illegal deals with a former commissioner, are scheduled for a change-of-plea hearing Thursday.
Bruce Chait, 61, and his 36-year-old son, Shawn Chait, were arrested in December on charges of bribery, unlawful compensation and perjury.
The charges stem from allegations that the Chaits made illegal deals with former Broward County Commissioner Josephus Eggelletion, including bribing him to approve their development plans.
Prosecutors said the pair also bribed Tamarac Commissioner Patricia Atkins-Grad, who was arrested in June and has since been suspended from office.

PERRYTON, TEXAS. Perryton is on U.S. Highway 83 in northern Ochiltree County. It was named after George M. Perry, an early county judge, who had been involved in the disastrous Enid, Ochiltree and Western railroad scheme. Perryton was founded in 1919 and designated the county seat. Most of the early settlers were former citizens of Gray, Oklahoma, and Ochiltree, Texas, who moved to the new Spearman branch of the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway. When Perryton was incorporated, the citizens adopted a mayor-council form of city government. Advertisements soon attracted farmers and related businesses, and by 1920 the community had a population of 2,000. Two leading businessmen, Charles E. Whippo and Fremont Mead, built modern water and electrical distribution plants, which they later sold to the city. Five grain elevators had been erected by 1925, and by 1930 the community's population numbered over 2,500. Since Perryton was a designated mailing station between Amarillo and Wichita, Kansas, an airport was constructed near the city dump in 1932; it became known as the "Sewer-Side Airport." In 1951 Perryton adopted a council-manager form of city government. In addition to its importance as an agribusiness center, the city received a further economic boost in the 1950s with the successful drilling of oil and gas reserves nearby. New buildings, including three schools, a fire station, a city hall, a police station, a county jail, and a library, were built at Perryton between 1957 and 1968. A hospital and a nursing home were also opened in 1968. In the mid-1980s Perryton's industries included creameries, oilfield services and equipment manufacturing, a trailer manufacturer, farm-machinery distributors, and cattle feedlots. The yearly Ochiltree County Fair is an important local event. In 1907 remains of a buried Indian settlement were discovered eighteen miles southeast of Perryton, and archeological investigation began in 1919. The population of Perryton increased from 4,399 in 1950 to 7,774 in 2000, when it had 467 businesses.

The basic idea behind this service is simple: we allow people to upload potentially large files (although not too large) to our servers, where they will be stored for a limited period. We generate a random URL which can be used to download the files during that period. Once the files have been completely uploaded, we send an email containing this URL to the address or UH username you have specified as the recipient. That's it, in a nutshell.
There are, of course, a few additional complications. First, this service is provided to the UH community, and is not meant to be open to the general public. However, we do wish to provide the ability for people unaffiliated with the University to use the service to share files with people within UH. In all cases, we require at least one end of the transaction (sender or receiver, that is) to be UH staff or faculty. The only practical consequence of this is that for a UH person to send files to a non-UH person, the UH person must use the link on the service home page to login prior to uploading files.
You cannot directly use the service to send files to multiple recipients. When filling in the recipient form, you must provide only a single email address or UH Username.
However, if you are a UH user using the service to upload files, you can effectively send the files to multiple recipients. Once the upload has completed, the resulting page will contain the link to download the files. You can copy that link and share any way you like. For example, you can email the link to multiple recipients. In fact (here is a little secret), if you are UH staff or faculty you don't even need to provide a recipient in the form: you can leave the recipient blank, in which case no email will be sent and it will be up to you to send then download URL to your intended recipients.
Here is a short movie showing how to send to multiple recipients.
There are a few restrictions on the service. The total size of the upload must not exceed 800MB. You can use the service as many times as you like, but any single upload cannot exceed that size. Also, we provide the files for download for a limited time only. Finally, the use of the service must comply with all relevant University policies, including E2.210.
For obvious reasons, it's important to be aware of these restrictions, particularly the limited download time window. If you are using the service to upload files, you must clearly inform the recipients that they must download the files prior to the closure of this window.
Currently, the files will be available for 1 to 7 days. A notice containing the date and time at which the files will be expired will be displayed once the upload is completed. Also, both the confirmation email sent to you (the uploader) and the email sent by the system to your recipient will contain the expiration date and time.
Once the period has run, the files are irretrievably deleted.
Even in the basic operation described above, the file transfer (both in uploading and downloading) is secure, in the sense that "SSL" is used to encrypt the traffic. This should provide sufficient security for most users. However, it's true that in the basic mode of operation the security of the system depends entirely on the obscurity of the randomly generated URLs used to download the files. It is extremely unlikely that anyone would be able to guess one of these URLs. But there may be other ways for an attacker to learn the download URL, and since in the basic mode of operation that's all we require to download the files, the attacker would gain access to the files.
We do offer an additional level of protection, for users exchanging files containing sensitive information. When uploading files, you can check off the "Require Authentication" checkbox. If this checkbox is selected, the UH user who is the recipient of the transfer will have to login before retrieving the files. That is, the recipient must know both the secret URL and the recipient's UH Username and password. The recipient must correspond to a UH user. If you would like your departmental email address to be included in those that can require authentication, please use the Feedback form to send a message to the FileDrop team.

Citation: NAILL, M., GIBSON, D.M., SHULER, M.L., ROBERTS, S.C. A SIMPLE METHOD FOR ENHANCING PACLITAXEL RELEASE FROM TAXUS CANADENSIS CELL SUSPENSION CULTURES UTILIZING CELL WALL ENZYMES. PLANT CELL REPORTS. 2003. V. 21. P. 1217-1220. Interpretive Summary: Paclitaxel (Taxol) is a potent chemotherapeutic drug with proven utility against a range of cancers. The very limited supply of this drug from the original source, Pacific yew bark, however, prompted the development of alternative sources of production, including the use of plant cell cultures. For plant cell culture to be an economic production system, however, work is still needed in order to optimize production and release into the cell medium for efficient recovery. This manuscript describes our study into the use of commercially available enzymes to increase release of paclitaxel into the culture medium. Such studies may be beneficial to enhancing overall paclitaxel recovery from plant suspension cultures.
Technical Abstract: Paclitaxel storage in Taxus suspension cell cultures was studied through the simple use of cell wall digesting enzymes. The application of cellulase (1%) and pectolyase (0.1%) to Taxus suspension cultures induced a significant increase in the paclitaxel present in the extracellular medium, while maintaining membrane integrity, suggesting that paclitaxel is stored in the cell wall. The addition of cell wall digesting enzymes to a cell culture bioprocess may be an effective way of enhancing paclitaxel release to the extracellular medium, and hence simplifying product recovery.

So many words have streamed out of Newtown to the nation and the world in the past month. Some days, it seemed like there was never more than 10 or 20 feet between any given resident and a microphone waiting for his or her answer to a dog-eared menu of stock questions about one's emotional state, fears and hopes, or to this comment or that uttered by this personage or that. All in all, those Newtowners who so suddenly found themselves engaged in conversation with a world so curious about all things local acquitted themselves with dignity and intelligence, and more than a little forbearance. We are most proud, however, of those parents of slain children who faced a gymnasium full of jostling journalists, recording equipment, and unblinking cameras at Edmond Town Hall on January 14. They spoke of their resolve to have the memory of their children's lives serve as a beacon to guide a nation floundering for direction in the wake of the tragedy in Sandy Hook. Their voices, though shaken at times and fraught with grief, were, nonetheless, strong and unequivocal in their message: all senseless violence — but especially against children — must stop, and Sandy Hook must be the place where it stops.
Sandy Hook Promise, the newly formed group that provided the opportunity for these parents to speak out in a supportive environment, hopes to foster a national discussion of the issues associated with the tragedy: gun violence, mental health, and safety — not just in schools but in all public places. That discussion, which has been taken up now in coffee shops and corridors of power in every state of the union and in the nation's capital, quite literally, starts right here in Newtown. And so far, Newtown has presented itself as a model of discourse that is sensitive yet uncompromising, compassionate yet rigorous, and urgent in its questioning yet patient in the search for answers.
The local conversation about the traumatic events in Sandy Hook on 12/14 is likely to continue for years and will shape our town for decades. It will influence nearly every facet of community life, from quantifiable financial and brick-and-mortar issues associated with the future of the Sandy Hook School, to the less quantifiable challenge of identifying and treating mental health problems before they reach a flashpoint. Underlying the many fundamental questions we must address in months and years ahead is the continuing question of our identity as a town. Who are we, and who will be become? Will our disagreements devolve into intractable divisions, or will our sense of community allow the discussion to evolve and cohere? Coherence or incoherence? The choice is ours.
Listening to each other, of course, is key to making the right choice. To that end, The Bee is introducing a new feature in this week's edition called "Talking It Through" on page A-2. The column will allow us to listen to different voices and different ideas, insights, and practical observations that may help the conversation stay on track, stay positive, and stay true to the spirit of Newtown — a spirit that has delivered us so far through our town's darkest days and now points us to a better future.

The Windows Azure Platform Pricing Calculator is designed to help application developers get a rough initial estimate of their Windows Azure usage costs. But where to start? What sort of numbers do you plug in?
A series of white papers from MSDEV helps give you a starting point for figuring it all out. Start with Getting a Start on Windows Azure Pricing and pick a scenario that is similar to your app. Then, use simple sliders in the pricing calculator to plug information about your application —like how many compute instances your application will use, the size of your database, the amount of data transferred to and from the application, and how much storage the application will need. Set the sliders and the calculator kicks out the estimated monthly cost to run the application on a pay-as-you-go model or through special offers.
The series is based on several scenarios that will give you a start on figuring out pricing for your application :
Feel free to leave a comment here on a scenario that you might need.

The question we get asked the most is "How can I print the scrapbook page when I'm finished?" You can print at home or at the photo lab. If you want to print 12x12 and you don't have a large format printer at home send it to the photo lab. You can also e-mail your pages or save them on a DVD to watch as a slide show.
How to prepare your picture for the photo lab
Save your layouts as a .jpg before you send your pictures to the photo lab. If your layout isn't one of the normal sizes that the photo lab offers you will need to create the right size image for print. For example, if you want to print my favorite size, 8x8, you need to create a new document that is 8x10. Drag your scrapbook page on top and save as a .jpg. It should look like this when you are finished:
Note: Photo labs can print to the edge without a problem. I added a white border because that is the look I wanted not because I couldn't print to the edge. Sometimes photo labs do crop your pictures shorter than they should so make sure to keep your text a ¼ of an inch away from the edge (or more).
After printing you simply chop off the unwanted white edge. Before you print you can add little pictures to print in the white space if you want. When printing a 12x12 you need to have your canvas at 12x18. I usually put two 6x6 layouts in the extra space. You can use the 6x6's for gift albums.
Tip: I love creating things on a 4x6 inch canvas because you can print them off like a regular photo for CHEAP! I make my invitations and announcements that size then mount them on a solid piece of cardstock when I am done. They look so professional. If you want pre-made cards buy our Cards, Invitations and Announcements CD.
Printing at Home
Printers are so cheap right now it blows my mind. Even some of the cheapest printers print photo lab quality. Some people worry about the cost of ink but if you add the cost of the ink and paper and divide it by the number of pages you are able to print, you'll find it is much cheaper to print your layouts digitally, than it is to create a scrapbook pages with paper and glue. The last time I checked I could print a full color 8.5 x 11" page for about a dollar. Other people have told me it's more like $1.50 per page. Not bad!
Tip: If you are trying to print an 8.5x11 inch layout but your printer doesn't print to the edge of the paper print it at 91% and you'll be able to see the entire layout.
Tip: Always store your printer OFF. The print heads will dry up a lot slower if you do this. The longer you go between printing the more likely it is you'll have to clean the print heads. Before printing I always do a nozzle check to make sure my printer colors will print properly. If the nozzle check has missing lines you need to clean the print heads. After cleaning do another nozzle check. Sometimes you need to clean the print heads multiple times before printing.
Note: I have an Epson printer – your printer (even if it's a different Epson model) may not work the same so read your manual.
Tip: Before printing always tell your printer what type of paper you are using. You will have much better printing results if you do this. You do this by clicking on properties in the pop up menu you get when you are about to print. Again, you may have to read your printer's manual. Never use plain paper. Always use photo quality paper if you want great results.
I usually print my pages and put them in an album with page protectors but you can do what you want. Another popular choice is sending all your pages off to be printed in a bound book. There are several companies that can do this for you.

Posted by Matt Norlander
It may still feel like the Final Four just ended, but for most schools, the offseason is now more than two months old. With that in mind, all of us at the blog are going to take this week to give you what we're calling "Conference Catch-Ups." The motive is to recap the biggest storylines in college basketball's offseason so far, plus keep your appetite whetted in what is the longest offseason in major American sports. In case you missed any of what's happened in the Big East, here it is.
The Big Stories
Headline No. 1: Leave their coaches alone. Jamie Dixon and Jay Wright saw their names tossed in the conversation for potential job openings, most notably at Maryland. But Dixon and Wright aren't going anywhere, despite the annual courtings that happen each year. It appears Notre Dame's Mike Brey has also joined that club, as he was thought to be a willing and logical successor to Gary Williams at Maryland. And we won't forget Buzz Williams, who was tossed into talk with Arkansas', then Missouri's, then Texas A&M's job openings before Marquette re-negotiated his deal and made him one of the 15-best paid head coaches in the industry. It seems clear: The Big East wants to be a landing point with few, if any, steppingstone jobs.
Headline No. 2: The UConn championship tour. The Huskies held a big parade, toured the White House and soaked in about as much loved from the Nutmeg State and beyond as any champ could. With Kemba Walker leaving and Jim Calhoun's future in doubt (more on that in a moment), it was only proper to have so much pomp.
Headline No. 3: Steve Lavin undergoes cancer treatment. This isn't so much new, as Lavin got an early diagnosis of prostate cancer last fall, but we didn't find out until early April. One of the game's most affable coaches, Lavin will be a terrific spokesman and example in the continuing fight against cancer. Within the Big East, Jim Calhoun and Jim Boeheim are cancer survivors.
Headline No. 4: Providence fires Keno Davis, hires Ed Cooley. Davis, who was the only head-coaching casualty in the league this year, had his doubters from the first time he stepped on campus—which was three years ago, if you can believe it. Cooley comes from Fairfield, where he spent five years and never went to an NCAA tournament. But he's from Providence and will be as media-friendly a coach as any other in this league.
The Great Unknown
Will Jim Calhoun retire in the coming weeks/months? The 69-year-old UConn coach has a legacy with some stain, but it's a Hall of Fame one nonetheless, and how many coaches get the chance to retire after a title-winning season? Calhoun recently told our Bret McMurphy he was "55/45" on coming back next season. With Kemba Walker—one of the greatest players in UConn history—gone to the NBA and a team that won't be nearly as good next season, why come back?
NBA Draft report
The Big East didn't have a big problem with early entrants in this year's Draft. Ashton Gibbs (Pittsburgh), West Virginia's Kevin Jones (right) and Hollis Thompson (Georgetown) got cold feet — or a warm sense of what they needed to improve on. Call it what you want; those guys are returning to their teams, and the conference and said teams, guys are better for it.
So who stayed in? Kemba Walker doesn't really qualify — he left as a junior, but he also graduated from Connecticut in three years, just as Emeka Okafor did seven season ago. Terrence Jennings left Louisville (it was the right call; he wasn't likely to grow in that offense). Carleton Scott (Notre Dame) is the ultimate head-scratcher. It's nearly a bona fide guarantee he will not be drafted. I talked to Mike Brey back in January, and at the time he pointed to Scott's critical nature to the team, from a chemistry standpoint. But that's it, that's the list. Only three early entrants into this year's NBA Draft from the Big East, which didn't have any good freshman play. Next year could be quite the development.
— Wally Judge (from Kansas State) to Rutgers.
— Garrick Sherman (from Michigan State) to Notre Dame.
—Dwyane Polee (St. John's).
— J.J. Richardson (Pittsburgh).
— Dan Jennings (West Virginia).
— Anali Okoloji (Seton Hall).
— Vee Samford (Georgetown).
— Jamal Coombs-McDaniel (Connecticut).
— Tony Woods (Louisville), though this one sort of doesn't count, as Woods never played a game with the Cards.
Team commentary in 20 words or Less
Cincinnati: Mick Cronin's job appears safe. Will Cincinnati break through with him at the helm? Top 25 team here, you know.
Connecticut: We know the Calhoun dilemma. It's a tougher call because he's got fab recruit Ryan Boatright coming in.
DePaul: TCU arrives in 2012, meaning this could be the last season DePaul is the league's worst team!
Georgetown: Hollis Thompson and Jason Clark will carry the burden. I'm very intrigued by this team. Let's talk in October.
Louisville: Rick Pitino said he came close to retiring, but now he's fully charged? Top-10 team helps, but I'm skeptical.
Marquette: This is your chic Elite Eight team by January, I assure you. And be wary of that.
Notre Dame: Brey (last year's Coach of the Year) will impress me more if he gets to the tournament in 2012.
Pittsburgh: Robinson, Woodall, Gibbs, Taylor, Zanna. Just another crop of guys you hardly know that'll keep Pitt near the top.
Providence: Cooley (right) will make rebuilding Providence fun. But he needs at least three years.
Rutgers: Mike Rice will have Rutgers in the tournament next year. Fans are starving to keep pace with St. John's.
Seton Hall: Pirates are in third in Metro NYC race. Worried this team is doomed for irrelevance in the future.
South Florida: And if I feel that way about Seton Hall, how do you think South Florida measures up? Moving on.
St. John's: Nine seniors are gone. This is the most unpredictable team in this conference right now.
Syracuse: Will be a consensus top-five preseason team, and that probably makes Orange fans nervous, even now.
Villanova: Jay Wright gets to shake up the puzzle box and start anew. He'll, again, supersede early expectations.
West Virginia: Bob Huggins sits in his recliner, talking to Kevin Jones, who isn't in the room, and thanks him for coming back.Photos: AP

|Quantitative cardiovascular magnetic resonance perfusion imaging: inter-study reproducibility.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22634739 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|AIMS: To evaluate the inter-study reproducibility of quantitative cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) myocardial perfusion imaging and the influence of diurnal variation on perfusion. Data on these are limited, despite being crucially important for performing serial examinations both in clinical practice and in trials. METHODS AND RESULTS: Sixteen healthy volunteers underwent high-resolution 3 T perfusion imaging three times during a single day to evaluate inter-study reproducibility and the effects of diurnal variation. Absolute perfusion was determined in each coronary artery territory and globally by Fermi constrained deconvolution of myocardial signal intensity curves. Left ventricular (LV) volumes and function were also calculated. Eleven full data sets were suitable for quantitative perfusion analysis. Global rest and stress perfusion and myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) were 0.6 ± 0.1 and 2.5 ± 0.5 mL/min/g and 4.3 ± 0.9, respectively, for the first scan and were 0.5 ± 0.2 and 2.1 ± 0.5 mL/min/g and 4.2 ± 1.2 for the second (P= 0.1, 0.19, and 0.37, respectively). Inter-study reproducibility was moderate. The coefficient of variation (CV) was 16.0, 26.8, and 23.9% for global rest and stress perfusion and MPR, respectively. The corresponding territorial CVs were 27.5, 35.2, and 33.5%. The reproducibility of LV volumes and function was excellent (CV 4, 7.7, and 4.6% for end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume, and ejection fraction, respectively). There were no significant detectable diurnal variations in perfusion or LV volumes and function (P≥ 0.05 for all). CONCLUSION: The inter-study reproducibility of quantitative myocardial perfusion is reasonable and best for global rest perfusion. No significant diurnal variation in perfusion was observed.

National Council of Teachers of English
Connie L. Bowman
The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) was founded in 1911, by a group of educators from Chicago Teachers College. This group of 54 recognized a need for reform in the curriculum and instruction of English language education. In 1919, NCTE membership had grown from the original 54 and was recognized as a national organization. Membership was divided into three divisions: elementary, secondary, and postsecondary with voting rights granted to all but student and affiliate members. In 1947, a group of NCTE members interested in advancing reading instruction formed the International Council for the Improvement of Reading Instruction, later named International Reading Association (IRA). Then in 1948, the Conference on College Composition and Communication was formed to address the needs of composition and communication teachers at the college level. NCTE's current membership is more than 60,000 members, representing elementary, middle, and secondary schools; college and university faculty; teacher educators; ...

GIBRALTAR — "I actually got to walk out the front door tonight," Phil Carlson said with a hearty laugh.
The Gibraltar Carlson girls basketball coach was delighted to see his team snap a five-game losing streak with a 41-28 victory over Taylor Kennedy Thursday night.
Maggie Herman led the way for Carlson with a career-high 21 points.
"Our point guard Maggie Herman really played well," Carlson said. "She led the team in all aspects."
Paige Blakeslee added 7 points for the 4-12 Marauders and Kerstyn Comerzan played well defensively.
Carlson's JV fell 29-19 despite 9 points by Becca Jones.
