Drug Discovery
Professor Tim Harrison, Lead Investigator
It has become increasingly clear that rather than being a single disease, cancer is a heterogeneous collection of diseases. In order to diagnose and treat cancer effectively, strategies for patient selection must be combined with the development of molecularly targeted therapeutics so that patients can receive the drug or combination of drugs which is most appropriate for the treatment of their disease, at the appropriate time. This approach necessitates the involvement of multi-disciplinary teams of basic researchers and clinicians, working within an infrastructure which allows for effective knowledge transfer.
The Drug Discovery group at the Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology (CCRCB) integrates both academic and industrial scientists to facilitate the translation of basic research discoveries into products which can ultimately derive value for patients. Working in close partnership with researchers from across the University and local hospitals, as well as with external researchers, the mission of the Drug Discovery group is to identify molecular targets which are relevant to disease and to develop strategies to modulate their function. Working closely with colleagues within the Centre (which includes the new Northern Ireland Molecular Pathology Laboratory and Northern Ireland Biobank), a strong emphasis will be placed on the early development of biomarkers, both to aid patient selection, and to establish that the drug is interacting with its intended target in patients.
Key to the progression of any drug discovery programme is the identification of a chemical compound (either small molecule or peptide/protein based) which can interact with the target. This drug "hit" is then optimised to provide a compound (often termed a Preclinical Candidate) which has the potency, specificity and pharmaceutical properties to interact with the target in humans at a therapeutic concentration which does not cause unacceptable side effects. This candidate molecule is further evaluated in pre-clinical development studies before progressing into clinical trials.
The capabilities of the Drug Discovery group include:
• Medicinal chemistry expertise in hit identification, hit to lead and lead optimisation;
• Biology expertise in target validation and assay development using multiple formats;
• Fragment screening (using a range of orthogonal biophysical techniques);
• Computer aided drug design and chemoinformatics;
• Bioinformatic expertise in data mining;
• Measurement and interpretation of Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME) and physicochemical properties of molecules;
• State of the art compound storage and data management facilities;
• Pre-clinical and clinical project management;
• International network of collaborators and outsourced service providers.
Research is currently focussed on the discovery of inhibitors of ubiquitin specific proteases and other ligases involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome system, as well as other targets shown to be involved in disease progression and therapeutic resistance. There is also a strong interest in developing new strategies for the disruption of protein-protein interactions, using both small molecules and peptides, and in the development of novel protein-based delivery vehicles for the specific targeting of therapeutic agents to tumours. Based on these drug discovery capabilities, it is anticipated that molecules will emerge that may be developable into the next generation of clinical medicines. The projects originate both from the CCRCB and other Schools within QUB. The multidisciplinary environment within the Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology, itself situated within easy reach of other QUB research faculties and Clinical Centres, offers an exciting opportunity for chemists, biologists, bioinformaticians, physicists, radiographers and clinicians to combine their expertise to facilitate the drug discovery process. The ultimate goal is to develop new therapeutics which can make a real difference to patients lives.

What were some of the best things that happened to you or that you did while you were pregnant or after you had the baby. Share things like how you decided to decorate the babies room and how you picked out the theme. Or what you bought for the first outfit. Or something someone gave you:)
Best things:)
Comments (6)
I also have enjoyed washing all of her clothes, and folding them. It takes me forever to finish because I just stare at every little outfit before I fold it.
awww:) we were waiting for my second trimester to buy anything incase something happened... so four more weeks im so excited:)
While pregnant it was just seeing him kick & feeling him kick. Finding out he was a boy. Seeing & hearing the heartbeat the first time. My belly getting bigger. Decorating the nursery.
Now that he is here, he is now 13 months & I have to say the older he gets the more fun it is. He understands what I am saying & tries to communicate back. He loves to play with me. It's just crazy to think just last year he was just laying there & couldn't move much, he is now running everywhere.
Momma to a Virgo [9/6/2011] & Gemini [6/12/2014]
Expecting a Cancer [7/22/2016] on dad's birthday!
I would have to say feeling her move/hiccup and stuff and having the belly to prove she is there. I barely had a belly for awhile. It made me doubt she was in there. I also love being able to share it with my df. Its great when he gets to feel her move and hiccup too and share that with me.
(T)Supermom to (L) ♥
After having her I took up a hobby, finally. I love making her little tutus, bows, baby wraps! It give me something else to do when everything else is done.
The best thing ever is watching her facial expressions and trying to figure out if it's mine, her dad's, or her very own!

The Majestic Hope of Social Media
Dec 21st
This has been a strange year of growing pains for the social web — privacy issues, cyber-bullying, gurus galore, and technical failures seemed to dominate the headlines.
But there's something amazing and wonderful ahead. Can you feel the hope and momentum building like I do? Here are three reasons to be excited about the next year of social media marketing and networking …
1) Creativity unleashed
We've spent the past few years establishing a technological foundation and distributing increasingly sophisticated smart mobile devices (I am including iPad in this category) and we've reached critical mass. At the same time, the cost of developing and distributing content has plummeted. Something incredible is about to happen. The competitive focus is going to shift. It HAS to. The battlefield will move from selling devices to unleashing them.
Have you tried this brilliant little game called Angry Birds? I got hooked on it a few weeks ago (damn that level 12) and this is the new standard for orgasmic creativity. The game is so stupid that you can't let it go. You fling birds and blow up green pigs. Now why is it birds? Why not jars of peanut butter? Why isn't it called Angry Corn Flakes? Isn't time great companies joined in the fun?
By the way, this game cost $100,000 to develop and has brought in $8 million in revenue, one 99-cent download at a time.
This is the year we move from mindless smartphone apps to mind-blowing apps as the competition for attention reaches a global frenzy. Movies, television and online publishing are going to be more interactive, more personal and more exciting than ever. One of the most interesting developments is the level of innovation coming from the Third World.
Creativity has never gone out of fashion, but we are about to see something amazing stir in 2011 as the perfect storm of consumer access, social simplicity and technological ubiquity collide. 2011 is the Year of the Digital Idea.
2) New Voices, New Energy.
Social media marketing is rapidly moving from a siloed cottage industry to mainstream mojo. Thought leadership is transferring from a few pioneers pontificating about "the conversation" to both fresh young voices and big company professionals armed with statistics, budgets and the ability to integrate social media with television, games and movies. The blogospere is literally being flooded with new energy.
I see new blogs on a weekly basis and literally go "wow." This is fresh. This is going somewhere. The echo chamber is crumbling.
I'll give you an example — Steve Goldner (aka @SocialSteve). This guy is living it. He's telling it. He's carving his own no-bullshit path on his blog with his real business experience.
Christina "CK" Kerley takes no prisoners. She doesn't just march to her own drummer, she's creating a whole new parade as she forces us to think about B2B marketing in a new way. Jacob Varghese is taking some interesting routes in his new Binary Perspectives blog.
I also love all the new students coming on to the blogosphere who don't know the "rules" and are writing these little neutron bomb posts that deserve to be read. These people also deserve to have a voice at the conference podium and I think we'll see that begin to happen too.
3) A Focus on the Human Experience
There's a lot being written about the isolation and bleakness that can come with a reliance on digital communication. Certainly there is legitimate aspect of that concern but I choose to celebrate the astounding opportunities to connect meaningfully and deeply.
I recently had one of my marketing students tell me that Twitter had changed her life. She is a music teacher and within a month of her first tweet, she had been invited by her new connections to perform at a festival in Austin, TX — a dream come true.
I hear those stories every single day. And sometimes I am the story — I've made more friends in the past two years than probably the last 20 combined. And I don't mean Facebook friends. I mean people you would invite to stay at your home.
I was recently re-connected with somebody who used to be my best friend — in kindergarten! Carrie Bond and I had been separated by thousands of miles and decades of living our own lives, but we now have such a supportive and fun relationship again through Twitter, Facebook and of course {grow}.
The social web has this random, synergistic majesty about it. Too many focus on the growing pains. It doesn't have to be an anonymous, snarky, Bieber-fied mind-muck. For the first time in human history we have access to free, instantaneous, global communication. This is a breath-taking opportunity our ancestors couldn't even dream about!
What are you going to do with this power, with this amazing moment in technology, in history, in your life?
Case study: Social Media Makes Big Splash for Small Entrepreneur
Dec 19th
Here is the most colorful social media success story you'll ever read!
The story starts with paint. Colorful … get it? I crack myself up.
My friend Julie Boney became tired of painting splotches all over her walls every time she wanted to re-decorate. So she invented a product called "Small Wall" that allows decorators to paint a small board and then post it on a wall like a post-it note. It's easy and won't harm the walls.
To market her clever invention, Julie sensed social media might help but needed direction. She decided her primary objective was brand awareness so I walked her through some fundamental strategies.
The first step was finding meaningful, targeted followers on the social web — people and publications who would be interested in her idea. That way, she would be delivering content and building relationships with people who mattered, people who would love her story. We also talked about strategies for engaging with these audiences in a helpful and authentic way.
One targeted publication was Woman's Day magazine, which features lots of home-oriented tips. After Woman's Day published an article about "try before you buy," Julie commented on their Facebook page, suggesting that her Small Wall invention was an excellent solution to the problem of selecting paint colors. Within an hour, she had a response from the magazine's editor-in-chief Elizabeth Mayhew, asking for samples!
In October, the Nashville-based Small Wall was featured prominently in a Woman's Day Online decorating feature (see graphic above) and in the January 2011 print edition, Small Wall is once again the star of an article on decorating tips for the new year.
"This is exposure we never could have afforded through traditional advertising methods," Julie said. "It made me a believer in the power of the social web for small businesses."
And Julie's success is just beginning. A Facebook connection also resulted in the product being discussed on a Martha Stewart broadcast and now Martha is following her on Twitter (Martha follows less than 1%of her followers)
Publicity like this has been helpful introducing Small Wall with zero expenditures and pulling through sales at Sherwin-Williams, Ace Hardware and Amazon.com.
A key lesson is that both print and online publications have an insatiable hunger for content and are scouring the social web for ideas, connections, experts, angles and quotes. But you can't take advantage of this opportunity if you're invisible or not actively connecting and engaging.
The social web can be a great equalizer for small businesses if you apply a little know-how, creativity and content!
Research casts new light on Twitter demographics
Dec 17th
So much social media research is statistical crappola that I wanted to highlight some of the best work going on out there right now.
Luckily for us The Pew Internet & American Life Project has turned its attention to social media and has already put out some very interesting reports. This week they unveiled their first all-Twitter study and found a few things that were frankly a little surprising to me. A high-level summary:
Some of the groups who are notable for their relatively high levels of Twitter use include:
- Young adults – Internet users ages 18-29 are significantly more likely to use Twitter than older adults.
- African-Americans and Latinos – Minority internet users are more than twice as likely to use Twitter as are white internet users.
- Urbanites – Urban residents are roughly twice as likely to use Twitter as rural dwellers.
Women and the college-educated are also slightly more likely than average to use the service.
So in in summary .. I am EXACTLY the type of person NOT on Twitter! I consider Twitter an important business networking tool that has been largely mysterious to younger people but this would indicate otherwise. Surprised me. Here is a more detailed breakdown of the American Twitter scene:
Twitter users are nearly equally divided between those who check the site on a daily basis (or multiple times per day) and those who check the site infrequently or never. Just over one-third of Twitter users (36%) check for material posted by others on a daily basis or multiple times per day—this is roughly comparable to the two in five (41%) who say they check the site less than every few weeks, or never do so at all.
Overall, observations related to users' personal or professional lives are the most popular types of updates, while location-based tweets and links to videos are the least commonly mentioned:
- 72% of Twitter users in our sample say that they post updates related to their personal life, activities or interests. A total of one in five Twitter users (19%) say they post personal updates once a day or more.
- 62% of those we queried said they post updates related to their work life, activities or interests, with 12% doing so on a daily basis.
- 55% of these Twitter users share links to news stories. One in ten (12%) do this at least once a day.
- 54% of these Twitter users say they post humorous or philosophical observations about life in general, with 16% doing so on a daily basis.
- 53% of these Twitter users use Twitter to retweet material posted by others, with 18% doing so on a daily basis.
- 52% of these Twitter users send direct messages to other users, with 11% doing so on a daily basis.
- 40% use Twitter to share photos with others, with 12% doing so at least once a day.
- 28% use Twitter to share videos with others. Fewer than one in ten Twitter users (8%) do this once a day or more.
- 24% use the service to tweet their location, with 7% of users doing so on a daily basis.

Only a short time will span between Alex Gutelius' move and the start of her new job as director of the Clifton Park-Halfmoon Public Library.
Planning to move from a small town outside Toronto, Canada, when her children finish school Thursday, June 26, Gutelius, 42, will officially take her new post Tuesday, July 1.
This is a big move for me, said Gutelius, who has lived in Canada her entire life.
Gutelius will move with her husband and three children, who she said have shown varying degrees of enthusiasm based on their age.
Her husband, originally from Westchester County, is familiar with the area, and Gutelius has a good feeling as well.
"It seems like such a vibrant and live library," Gutelius said. "I'm excited to go into a community where the library is so central."
She said the library has several programs that seem to draw crowds, which she said shows how the town values the public library.
Board of Trustees President David Golden expressed his excitement about bringing Gutelius on board saying, "She brings the perfect mix of executive and library experience we need at this stage of our development."
Under the North American Free Trade Agreement, librarians are able to easily obtain a Visa to work in either the United States or Canada by showing their degree and offer letter at the border.
Gutelius currently works at Vaughn Public Libraries as a director of service delivery where she oversees the staffs of several libraries and serves more than 250,000 residents in communities around Toronto.
Before working at Vaughn, she worked at a small public library in Canada for 10 years.
With her 18 years experience, Vaughn said she is not so concerned with the overall job, as much as with acquainting herself with the small differences in the community.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hard to say. Before writing the review I'm going to restart and play some on Classic Mode. Right now I don't know how many of Story Mode's improvements are also in Classic Mode, or if Classic Mode is more like EO1.smacd said:Thanks for the impression.
So my question would be, since you said it feels more like a sequel/spinoff than a remake, does that mean that it both the original and this game are worth playing, rather than just choosing to play the original or this one?
You name the protagonist, who is set as a male. You can't change the rest. There's voiceacting and the other characters' names are spoken in the game.ChickenGod said:7th, can you answer whether or not one can change the story character's names?
Otherwise it sounds like Untold is shaping up to deliver another excellent Etrian Odyssey experience.
There's a Classic Mode that lets you make your own characters and party. I haven't tried it yet (damn single save slot!) but I assume it would have most if not all the other improvements Story Mode has over the original.scorpio_7 said:I like the idea of storyline, voice-acting, and set characters. But I think I will prefer the original version, of making my own characters and party.
I could, but it would go over the word limit. I finally met another RPGamer staffie in person last weekend. Maybe he'll write some editorials about my good looks!Ethos said:Glenn, thank you for the impressions, can you speak to your incredible handsomeness?

Playing With: Shoot the Shaggy Dog
Basic Trope: A story in which the protagonist dies and his or her efforts are rendered pointless.
Back to Shoot the Shaggy Dog
- Straight: Alice spends an hour and a half of screen time trying to find the owner of a lost shaggy dog, only to be shot for trespassing.
- Exaggerated:
- Alice embarks on The Hero's Journey, completing an epic quest to defeat the Big Bad. When she turns up at his unholy palace for the final confrontation... she's shot by a low-ranking guard.
- The protagonist unexpectedly dies... and there's a Fade to Black, with No Ending.
- Downplayed:
- A story about an aimless, self-destructive drifter, who gets mixed up with dangerous criminals for want of anything else to do, ends up with him dying pointlessly, alone and unmourned.
- Shaggy Dog Story
- Justified:
- Recklessness is Alice's Fatal Flaw, and there's been a lot of foreshadowing that if she doesn't overcome it, it will be her undoing.
- The story is the first in a trilogy, and Alice is a Decoy Protagonist. Her Bumbling Sidekick, forced to Take a Level in Badass in the sequel, is ultimately the real hero.
- Inverted: A How We Got Here, Dead to Begin With story told via Posthumous Narration turns out to have been a Mind Screw from the start; the narrator survived his "death", and it was all part of a devious Thanatos Gambit.
- Subverted:
- The protagonist comes back from his apparent death to complete his goals before dying of his wounds.
- The protagonist dies... but the last scene shows an FBI analyst opening an email from him, detailing the damning evidence for the villain's crimes.
- Double Subverted:
- The protagonist comes back from his apparent death, takes down a few mooks, and is taken down in a hail of gunfire. This time, they Make Sure He's Dead.
- The FBI agent scans the email, and deletes it. Then gives an evil smirk straight to camera.
- Parodied: Just as all his plans are coming together, the protagonist dies when he trips on a loose paving slab.
- Zig Zagged: The hero dies... but he managed to get a message off first! The Cavalry charge in to save the day... and are killed by Colony Drop. But the hero was Not Quite Dead, and that distraction has given him the time to slink off to destroy the Artifact of Doom. He's caught by The Dragon, who shoots him unceremoniously. The End... Or Is It? The final shot is of a timer slowly ticking down on the protagonist's mysterious briefcase, which has somehow found its way into the Big Bad's throne room...
- Averted: The protagonist survives, or at least accomplishes something meaningful before dying.
- Enforced: The film was made under The Hays Code, and the Villain Protagonist was given a last-minute Karmic Death to abide by it.
- Lampshaded: "You Wouldn't Shoot Me! It'd make this whole story a complete waste of time!"
- Invoked: Alice kills herself pointlessly because of her Nietzsche Wannabe philosophy.
- Exploited: Alice realises she can't survive, but reckons that going down in a blaze of glory will make her a martyr, and her story will inspire others to try to succeed where she failed.
- Defied: "I'm not going to needlessly endanger my life — if I die, there'll be nobody left to stop Nefaro, and this will all have been in vain!"
- Discussed: "You came so far, and all for nothing. I'm going to kill you now. And thus will end the story of Alice, who tried to stop the great Nefaro, and died. I don't think many people will pay to see that one, do you?"
- Conversed: "Wait, she's dead? What was the point of that?"
- Implied: A Shaggy Dog Story has a Bolivian Army Ending.
- Plotted A Good Waste: It's an action movie with an Excuse Plot that sets the hero up to extricate himself from a devious Bond Villain-esque death trap. With that out of the way, all the audience wants now is for the plot to be wrapped up neatly so they can go home. So at the very end, The Dragon, who asked his boss at the very beginning "Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him?", Just Shoots Him. Fin.
- Played For Laughs: It's a Black Comedy with a Carnival of Killers in Four Lines, All Waiting. Every storyline ends with the meaningless death of its protagonist. (Why yes, Guy Ritchie did direct it, how did you know?)
- Logical Extreme: Alice embarks on The Hero's Journey, completing an epic quest to defeat the Big Bad. When she turns up at his unholy palace for the final confrontation... we find that the Big Bad was a hallucination at best, and Alice descending into insanity at worst.

Victor Kossakovsky's '¡Vivan las Antipodas!' documents four sets of
antipodes locations diametrically opposite to each other on the
surface of Earth to unveil the contrasts and continuities that exist
in the natural world. The film is more attuned to the drama of
landscape than to human drama, relegating its human subjects to bit
players in lengthy studies of mountains and bodies of water. Though
such an approach is not in itself unrewarding, Kossakovsky struggles to
transform his footage into something compelling or engaging.
The notion of investigating these antipodes is appealing, but ultimately unenlightening. Kossakovsky's idea provides a neat framework that he struggles to work within; the footage he shoots of the antipodes are non-complementary, meaning many of the global connections the director uncovers feel forced and unwieldy. At worst they become trite and superficial Ooh, look! A rock in Spain looks a bit like a beached whale in New Zealand! lending the film a gimmicky quality. This is not helped by the numerous occasions when Kossakovsky tilts his camera upside down to show events on the opposite side of the world, a device that adds little to proceedings.
Aside from some woolly ecological assertions, the film lacks thematic drive or philosophical content. Compared with a film such as 'Le Quattro Volte', a film superficially similar in its long takes and focus on landscape over human personality, '¡Vivan las Antipodas!' crucially lacks mystery or drama. Many moments of the film steer away from the poetic into the realm of banality; cynical though it may be to view the film in this way, it is apparent that the repeated images of butterflies and rainbows that come towards the end of the film just don't cut it as the "life-affirming" images that they are intended as. Many of the film's money shots come across less as compelling cinematic images than silver screen savers - pretty, but emotionally neutral. In an age when nature documentaries show us jaw-dropping nature footage on a nigh weekly basis, Kossakovsky's film of elephants and condors feels slightly amateurish, not much more than quality holiday footage on the big screen. Additionally, the animal footage is often used either for comic effect or for sentimental impact, lending much of the proceedings a gratingly twee edge.
The film's problems are compounded by uninspiring editing, courtesy of director Victor Kossakovsky. His affection for many of the scenarios he has filmed is apparent and it is perhaps an unwillingness to trim back the less successful moments that cripples the film. As a result, it feels both bloated and rushed, both filled to bursting point and strangely hollow. We are bounced around the Earth with such rapidity that we glean no real understanding of any of the places we are shown. Kossakovsky's camera travels so far and so fast that the audience is given no chance to settle into the natural rhythms of these locations, no chance to breathe in the surroundings. Some of the antipodes barely register, (Botswana) whilst even the most prominent (Argentina) is hampered by focusing on two men who spout laboured and unconvincing conversations that broadly lay out the themes of the film.
This is not to say that the film is without its pleasures, often from the moments that are less insistent about their capacity to induce amazement. The changing light of an African sunset, the otherworldly shots of Shanghai, a shimmering mountain seemingly finding a solid body in its reflection moments such as these prevent the film from becoming entirely unrewarding. Yet even these moments are often lamentably hindered by the film's bombastic and decidedly bizarre score. Perhaps with a surer hand at the editing desk the film could have been shaped into something more than the mêlée of raw footage it currently stands as, though it is not improbable that the contrived nature of its central conceit would hobble it at every step.

text: 10 TAIPEI WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16TH 1 Anna could easily imagine enthusiastic salespeople saying such things as … Why would anyone want a bicycle that doesn't offer the latest speed and efficiency? … This year's bike is 200 grams lighter than last year's model! … Surely you don't want anything less than 27 gears? … And, (sin of sin) … An upright riding position? But that's so much less aerodynamic! After about 20 minutes at the show, Anna felt unwelcome and out of place, suffocated by the essence of testosterone. The Mascara Challenge How can we in the bicycle industry understand how we come across to a non-cyclist like Anna? I encourage my (mostly male) colleagues to visit the cosmetics section of a department store. There, you will experience something similar to what Anna felt at the bicycle show: You will see rows upon rows of bottles and tubes, all of them apparently the same. Now, try and pick something out for your partner. What's the difference between blusher and foundation? Mascara and eye-liner? Scary, isn't it? Yet this is how a non-cyclist feels when walking into a typical bike shop. For another analogy, consider how we use our legs and feet. Occasionally, we run—a specialist activity—for sport, speed, recreation and fitness. But we always walk. It's an everyday, universal activity for transportation, shopping, working or recreation, seeing the world, getting about or meeting friends. © MS B lue O cea n Ch ron ic le s , Pa r t 1 WHY FIGHT WHEN THERE'S A HUGE MARKET WAITING? Nearly everyone on the planet walks, while only a small percentage of them run. Yet the bicycle industry is like the "running industry," focusing on the tiny proportion of "runners" while almost ignoring the much bigger market of everyone else. If you are reading this, you are probably a bicycle "professional" or "enthusiast." Those of us in the industry view cycling from the vantage point of an enthusiast. But we must try to see it from the point of view of a non-cyclist. The non-cyclist market is mostly untapped and is the biggest opportunity for the bicycle industry. As an industry we tend to fight one another for a share of the limited, but known, sport and enthusiast market. We are like sharks fighting in a small ocean, turning the water red with blood. Sure, this "Red Ocean" sport and enthusiast market is profitable. And it's fun to sell to fellow enthusiasts with big bank accounts who are looking for the latest bicycle bling. But this is also a market with limited growth. We have to fight one another for a share of it. In contrast, the market for selling bicycles to non-cyclists is almost unlimited. It is a vast "Blue Ocean" of potential sales. Wa ke - U p Ca l l As bicycle professionals, our world tends to revolve around people with similar views and values. So it can be a wake-up call to see how non-cyclists view our world. Anna, a journalist I know for the TimeOut travel guides, was recently given two back-to-back assignments. The first was to visit Copenhagen to update a travel guide. The second was to visit a bicycle show—not a trade show, like the Taipei Cycle Show, but a national consumer show for those who ultimately buy our products. She was amazed at the completely different image of bicycles in each place. In Copenhagen, bicycles are simply a form of transport. They are used by all—not just enthusiasts or those who can't afford a car, but people of all incomes, professions, ages, and genders. The majority of all journeys are made by bike. Most of the bicycles in Copenhagen are not designed for speed and sport, nor are they cheap "supermarket" bikes pretending to be sporty ones. They are relatively expensive, long-lasting, upright bicycles. They are easy for anyone to use, from young to old. They don't have oily chains, narrow tires, or complex gears. Riders do not require special clothes, but wear whatever outfits they need for their destinations. There's no racing, so no sweating. These cyclists expend the same energy as walking, yet they go three or four times the distance and speed. Cu rb You r E n t hu s ia s m © MS -TSD2011d1 MAG_v21.indd 10 In total contrast to the Copenhagen street scene, the bike show seemed to cater to a sporty, macho—and limited—target audience for bicycles and accessories. © MS Basically, Anna reported, the show consisted of enthusiasts selling enthusiast products to other enthusiasts. Those enthusiasts ignored her (and thus the other 90-plus percent of the population). All she saw were rows and rows of nearly identical sport bikes. From a business perspective, imagine the enormous sales potential of selling shoes to the whole population, not just running shoes to enthusiasts. Now, imagine selling bicycles to 100 percent of the population, not just the 10 percent of enthusiasts. Those of us in the bicycle industry can see and appreciate the many subtleties of bicycle construction—geometry, weight, bar type and position, gears, suspension. But these were of no interest to Anna. She saw nothing that would persuade her to choose a bicycle for personal transport. There may have been some "lifestyle" bicycles, as we condescendingly call them, tucked away behind the rows of sport and enthusiast equipment. But there was little or no enthusiasm to sell or even show them.

With the AT-402B, Air Tractor's goal was to combine turbine power with affordability. We achieved it; first by designing a compact, structurally efficient airframe and then specifying an exceptionally quiet, powerful and reliable PT6A turbine engine for faster climb rates and increased cruise speed. We designed a long, high-aspect ratio wing with Hoerner wing tips to increase wing efficiency, reduce drag and to lower stick and rudder forces so the controls are light and responsive, greatly reducing pilot fatigue.
The end result is an ag plane that pilots love to fly, even at the end of a long day. When your operation is ready to transition to turbine power, it's time to investigate
the AT-402B.
Performance Notes:
- AT-402B with PT6A-15AG engine has 680 SHP at 2200 RPM.
- Sealed engine induction system locks out contaminants, extends service life and reduces maintenance.
- Improved oil cooling system lowers temps in flight and on the ground.
- Cruise at 160 m.p.h.; work at 140 m.p.h.

Berg presents a review of the available literature on the prognosis in pulmonary tuberculosis. He then reports 6,156 cases in which tubercle bacilli were present in the sputum which had been seen in the city of Gothenburg between 1910 and 1934. The patients were all adults. He found that from 70 to 80 per cent of patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis with bacilli in the sputum die within ten years. While the death rate is highest during the early years after the diagnosis is made and gradually decreases as the years pass, it is still four times as high as the normal death rate among those who survive twenty years. The mortality depends somewhat on the age at which the disease develops. For example, among those of from 15 to 19 years 82.3 per cent die within ten years, while of those who contract the disease between 35 and 39

Who else is left? At 30 weeks, 6 days I'm now on bed rest at home after stoping some contractions this weekend that took me to 1cm. The Procardia I'm taking seems to be doing its job in holding things steady and contractions have slowed drastically. I also have albuterol to take as a backup for breakthrough contractions. Anyone else ever been on this?
Right now I'm just going to take one week at a time, but can't believe these three are going to be here soon!

Gorman: Penn-Trafford shows character counts
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Penn-Trafford calls it, for lack of a better term, The Game.
The Warriors have off-season meetings to engage in discussions not only about football but being a better person.
"They've really bought into it and have been tremendous about it," Penn-Trafford coach John Ruane said. "You have to be conscious, at all times, of things going on around you. These kids are second-to-none in terms of work ethic and character."
The Game is a team-building exercise where players are divided into groups and rewarded points for grades, attendance and community service.
"It gives guys who usually wouldn't step up as leaders a chance to step up," senior captain Tom Stinelli said. "It's a huge part of bringing us together."
It was that accountability, The Game within the game, that turned around the season for Penn-Trafford. The Warriors are in the WPIAL Class AAAA semifinals for the first time since 1997.
It started with Ruane. He turned down a chance to coach at Gateway, his alma mater and where he teaches, to stay at Penn-Trafford.
Penn-Trafford responded with a postseason run that surprised everyone — except, perhaps, the Warriors.
This was the expectation all along, even after a 4-3 start that included a 34-14 loss at Kiski Area in Week 7.
After that defeat, The Game showed up, as senior captains Stinelli, Fred Cook, Ryan Marasti, Adam Polakovsky and John Wilkie spoke up in the locker room.
"Without a doubt, it was the turning point," Stinelli said. "We weren't playing to our potential."
The Warriors have played with a chip on their shoulders since, beating Gateway the next week on a scoring pass and 2-point conversion with 16 seconds left. They beat Hempfield in the finale, Penn Hills in the first round, then previously undefeated McKeesport.
"The seniors are why we're winning," Ruane said. "They don't give up in big games."
Now, Penn-Trafford (8-3) plays Central Catholic (11-0), which beat the Warriors in the first round last year.
Win or lose, they've already won The Game.

Hi, I'm on 3.55 kmeaw and I do not want to play online- I just want to get some of the latest PSN games which were not leaked. And some Rock Band songs too. Which method would you recomend for me, this or rebug?
neither will work
This rules
Hope this method will work for a long enough period of time!
any fix for playing fifa 12 online?
playstation network its broken again, on their website the green icon is yellow and says partially available.
I tried editing the Param.sfo, it would connect but I wouldn't be able to find anyone to play with and always gives me an error when I invite someone.
fckPSN may give a lot issues because of:
- 80, 443 and 56 ports are in used.
- NAT issue (probably most of you guys might be already on NAT3 because youre NAT within another NAT(since most of us is using a router), in worst case scenario, if youre ISP is using a transparent proxy server, this will give a lot of headache)
- firewall issue

Swansea signs goalkeeper FabianskiComment on this story
Swansea - Poland goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is moving from Arsenal to Swansea after his contract expired at the north London club.
The 29-year-old Poland international has signed a four-year deal to stay in the Premier League and become Swansea's first summer signing.
Fabianski's seven years at Arsenal ended by playing in the FA Cup final win over Hull earlier this month, having only managed to displace Wojciech Szczesny for cup games.
Swansea is not guaranteeing Fabianski can expect more regular football in south Wales, saying he now provides "strong competition" to become first-choice goalkeeper, which is currently Netherlands international Michel Vorm.

Brian ModreskiUnited States
I haven't blogged in a very long time. I've got two posts sitting around half-finished that I really need to conclude. But I recently had a discussion over with Gloom of Kilforth: A Fantasy Quest Game that I felt merited a longer and more in-depth answer than what seemed appropriate for the thread.
EDIT: To clarify, some people seem to think I'm directing this specifically at Kilforth. I'm not. That's just where the topic came up and I was asked to clarify why I dislike gender as a mechanic.
So, to the point. When I see gender as a keyword/trait on character cards in an adventure game, that's a warning sign for me that I should probably avoid this game. Its not that its automatically bad. Its more like seeing a whole bunch of exclamation points after the title, or when the back of the box talks about how this game "Will revolutionize gaming!".
There are a lot of reasons why, and I'm going to try to explain some of them.
First, let's get some things out of the way up front...
I am not speaking for everyone who dislikes gendered tags in a game.
I know that may seem obvious, but there are lots of reasons people might not want game elements, and I can only speak from my viewpoint, not anyone else's.
I'm not talking about games that use gender as a set-matching or offspring producing mechanic
Games like Alea Iacta Est, Helvetia and Hameln use gender as a set-matching mechanic or are based around producing offspring. That, to me, is a fine use for gender is a game and is not a red flag of any sort.
I'm not talking about simply ACKNOWLEDGING gender
Some people have been wanting to take "I don't like gender tags" to mean that all the art for the game should feature androgynous people or those wearing full gender-neutral armor or something like that. No, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking specifically about using gender as a game-mechanic keyword.
Though, on the topic, I think its great when a game provides double-sided sheets that have a male portrait on one side and female on the other. But that's a different story.
I want to play a game about adventure, not about gender roles!
Now let's get to what I am talking about. Let's say I get a character card. It may list stats. It may list things like "Evil" and "Wizard". And occasionally it will throw in "Male" or "Female".
Now let me be clear about something; this is NOT common in board games these days. You won't find gender keywords in Descent or the Mage Knight Board Game or Legends of Andor. Its more something you used to see in old games, first wave CCGs, and that still crops up in video games.
"Women" on this card is used a keyword in Fantasy Adventures. It adds nothing worthwhile to the game.
These are traits that are used in the game. At a glance, they tell me what sort of things are important in the game.
So when I see "Evil" and "Good" it tells me this is a game with classic good and evil. I can likely expect to see villainous necromancers and heroic knights. Evil and Good characters probably won't get along well. Probably more of a high-fantasy setting.
When I see "Wizard" and "Fighter" it tells me this is a game with defined classes. I can expect to see characters with various roles and special abilities appropriate to that role.
When I see "Dragon" and "Goblin" it tells me that this game has different kinds of creatures which have a different effect on the world. I may well be seeing mechanics that will encourage using a bunch of similar creatures together.
When I see "Female" and "Male" it tells me...umm...what? That men and women exist in this setting? OK, I kinda woulda guessed that. That this is a game about gender roles?
If I'm picking up a fantasy adventure game, I want to play a game about adventures. I want to fight monsters and explore fantastic places and muster armies. I don't want a game about gender roles.
When you, as a designer, put "Male" and "Female" as a stat you are telling me that you couldn't find anything more interesting or exciting or relevant to the game to use. This does not convey excitement or clever design to me.
Its probably going to be stereotypical and cliché.
As a new game, you don't actually get a blank slate of coming into a world that's never seen a game before with no preconceptions of what a game will be. So, when every time I've seen gender used as a mechanic in a game its used to be stereotypical or cliché, it seems likely that your new game with gender is also going to be stereotypical or cliché. Are you going to surprise me and be brilliant and different? Eh...I'm not going to hold my breath.
Should games avoid all stereotypes? No, probably not. Its ok to have stereotypical orcs and elves and wizards, especially if you are just trying to make a hack-and-slash battle and not establish a deep world. But that doesn't mean I WANT a game to scream out to me "Hey, I'm about clichés!"
Its probably going to be either irrelevant or silly.
How many items in your game really are going to have gender matter to them? If you are actually making an adventure game, probably not very many. And the past track record on what I've seen is that the ones that will be included will be silly or unreasonable.
For example, its common in many computer RPGs to have gender based items. And invariably the "male-only" items will be stuff that's perfectly sensible adventuring gear (Heavy Plate Armor - male only!) while the "female-only" items will be stuff that has nothing to do with adventuring (Sparkly Pink Dress - female only! Pin-heels of power - female only!)
Now aside from being facepalming silly, the gender restrictions aren't even reasonable. I've known guys who wore high heels to get a free drink and women who wear men's pants to get an extra pocket. If that frilly pink dress gives you super-magical powers, you'll see guys wearing a frilly pink dress.
And if its restrictions on professions? Oh c'mon. There's not a single gender-stereotyped profession in history that hasn't been done by people of both genders. And in adventure games, we are telling the tales of people who ARE unusual and exception, so expecting them to conform to rigid stereotypes is even sillier.
There's probably a more exciting and thematic alternative
So you want to split up abilities or bonuses or something in some way to ensure balance?
There are so many things that would be more interesting and more versatile than gender! And that will give you more freedom when you want to add an ability in the future that you don't want combined with things from the "male only" pile OR the "female only" pile.
Just off the top of my head...
Elemental associations (Air, Fire, etc)
Alliance based (Free Nations, Imperial Guild)
Trait based (Strength, Wisdom, Cunning)
Deity based (Follower of Thor, Follower of Isis)
Totem animal based (Bear, Wolf, Rabbit)
Etc, etc.
Any of these are going to tell me more about your world, be more flexible, and be more exciting.
Its probably going to be a crutch used instead of more thematic mechanics
So, you've got your gender mechanic. So you'll put in your "seductive female monster" that gets +1 combat vs. male characters.
Does that convey "seductive monster" to you? Its just a stray modifier. It doesn't try to get close to the party and blend in. It doesn't help to have people around who can rescue the victim. There's been no effort to create a mechanic that actually captures the theme of what's going on.
Which again, is how I've seen it used in all the games with gender keywords so far.
Its probably going to be sexist.
I saved this one for last because its by far the most controversial. I think the above reasons are quite sufficient to cover why gender isn't a good game element even before you get here.
But most likely, if you are including gender traits in the game, and especially if you are a male designer, its probably going to wind up with sexist content, most likely against women. Because like it or not, you're fighting massive cultural influence that bombards you with stereotypes and tells you that "male" is "default".
You may not realize, for example, that saying "you can't play this class because of your gender" isn't the same thing when you say it to a man and to a woman.
First off, if you are like most designers who have used gender as a mechanic so far, the "male" choice is probably something cool and a core part of fantasy, while the "female" choice is probably something very specifically "feminine". You aren't giving equal choices.
On top of that, most men have never faced serious gender discrimination in their lives. They have never been told they have to give up on the career they really want because they aren't a girl. They haven't been told they aren't allowed to take a class in school because they aren't a girl. They haven't not allowed in a game club because they are a boy.
Many women have experienced these things. "You can't be a ____" isn't some abstract fantasy restriction, that's real, painful life. That's not adventure and fantasy, that's up with there with stuff like paying taxes, having to find the money to buy a new water heater and get the damn flooded basement clean, and having to deal with an idiot customer who's pissed at you because he didn't do his shopping until Christmas Eve and now the hot game is all out of stock. Its a crappy stupid part of life that most of us play games to get away from.
Why in the world do you want to make that part of your game?

Why No 1960s Batman TV Series on VHS, DVD, etc.?

Re: Why No 1960s Batman TV Series on VHS, DVD, etc.?
In my experience, the Adam West
is a show that you love as a serious adventure series when you're a kid, then dismiss as silly and campy when you reach adolescence and want to take everything seriously, then love again when you're fully grown up and finally figure out that it was a sitcom and was
silly and campy, not to mention quite clever and subversive at times. Unless you're a comic-book geek who takes Batman way too seriously and insists on ignoring the historical reality that the character hasn't always been a grim avenger of the night.
As a sitcom,
was brilliantly original. People love to put down the weird and fanciful sitcoms of the '60s, shows like this and
Gilligan's Island
My Favorite Martian
, but at least they weren't just the thousandth sitcom in a row about a working schlub with a wife and cute kids or a teacher and his class of misfits or a bunch of young single friends hanging out together and talking incessantly about sex. Sitcoms today rarely have the originality they had in the '60s, and
was one of the most distinctive and unusual sitcoms ever created. It also had impressive production values and casting.

Reviews for this vacation cabin rental in Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Great Time At Grandview!
June 17, 2015
My husband and I and our 2 young adult children stayed 4 nights at Grandview. The cabin felt just like home and had plenty of room for everybody. The 3 bedrooms and 1 of the full baths and laundry area are downstairs which worked out perfect for our "early to bed" daughter as she could go to sleep and not be disturbed if we were still up and about upstairs in the main living area and kitchen. Both levels have big roomy decks to enjoy watching the amazing sunrises or just to sit and enjoy nature. The lower deck has a big hot tub, too. Late one evening we were thrilled to see a mama bear and her 2 small cubs come wandering into the backyard! We watched with wide eyed wonder as the cubs climbed trees. Here is my video of that visit: https://youtu.be/c6Wkg39DRWE The very next night we got to see another bear come into the backyard and hang out for awhile. He sat and gave himself a good scratch before moving on. I was also thrilled to hear Barred Owls close by. I couldn't have asked for a better cabin. We will definitely be back! Pat D.
Owner's reply:
Pat~Thank you so much for sharing your videos! I was amazed at the size of the baby cubs (I've never seen any that tiny :) I learned a lot from you, about some of the wildlife I hadn't yet explored, and my daughter was fascinated with your owl lesson. She's volunteering at the Wildlife Preserve this summer and had the chance to share your story about the owl with all the little ones at camp :) It was truly a pleasure, and we look forward to more of your stories in the future. Take care! Lynn

My husband and I met our kids/grandkids from Atlanta, GA at this property for the holiday weekend. The cabin was very clean, nicely appointed and convenient to both downtown Gatlinburg and Ober Gatlinburg winter sporting attractions. It is also close to the state park for hiking and exploration. The view from the cabin was tremendous, and we can only imagine what it would be like during different seasons of the year. Although, we were not fans of the downtown Gatlinburg area, we loved the cabin and all that it had to offer. I would definitely recommend this rental.

The Politics of Financial Markets and Regulation
The United States, Japan and Germany
|Publication Date
|February 2014
|Hardcover Ebook (EPUB) Ebook (PDF)
|Palgrave Macmillan
In the post-Bretton Woods era, the advent of ever-expanding capital markets beyond national borders led to a series of financial reforms in many industrial economies. In comparing reform cases across different time periods in the United States, Japan, and Germany, Sara Konoe stresses the role of dynamic interactions between institutions and political contexts in determining reform paths. In non-crisis periods, regulatory fragmentation is utilized by financial sectors to pursue their demands for liberalization, though those in self-regulating or monopolized markets resist the agenda of liberalization. A time of crisis empowers reformers to restructure the financial regulatory structure and markets and enables the tightening of regulation. By drawing out key implications for global politics, Konoe sheds light on what types of reform dynamics come into play in the formation of global financial governance while considering the impact of regional-level institutionalization in the EU and EMU.


text: I was wondering what the most effective (i.e. most accurate) methods are for determining the concentration of a known solution. In my specific case, I need to determine the concentration of a KNO3(aq) within 10% of the actual value. As of now, I have written up two separate procedures to determine the concentration of the solution. The first one utilizes the direct proportionality of solution concentration and conductivity. The other is a titration with the KNO3(aq) being put through an ion exchange column. I don't really have any ideas on other methods (besides evaporating the solution) so I'm just asking if there are better methods for this lab.

Duquesne men's basketball coach Ferry teaches history lesson
College Football Videos
Duquesne coach Jim Ferry's time with the program covers just a few months, but this week he dug deeper into the Dukes' history.
The first-year coach shared with his players how the City Game was proof that Duquesne once was the best college basketball program in Pittsburgh, a status Pitt removed from the Dukes in recent decades.
League titles and tournament berths are Ferry's primary goals, but beating Pitt for the first time in more than a decade also holds a prominent place on his list.
"That's part of the plan," he said. "It's not the end-all by any means; it's more important that we win our conference championship. But to all the people in Pittsburgh and all the alums here, it's very, very important. Our goal is to compete with these guys."
Duquesne (4-3) carries an 11-game City Game losing streak into Wednesday night at Consol Energy Center, the 81st time these rivals have played since 1932. Pitt (7-1) has won 28 of the 31 matchups since the Panthers joined the Big East in 1982, including 80-69 a year ago.
But the City Game wasn't always one-sided in Pitt's favor, a point Ferry shared with his players this week. During the 1960s and '70s, Duquesne won 15 times in 26 games against Pitt, including nine of 11 in one stretch.
"Back in the day, Duquesne was the dominating school," Ferry said, "and now it's changed a little bit over the past 20 years. We've got to grind this out and make this a better rivalry. We have to do our part again to compete. I hope we play this game every single year for as long as I'm here. We want to play this game, and we want to win this game."
The Dukes' most recent win against Pitt was 71-70 in 2000. The game was close in 2009, when Pitt won, 67-58, in double overtime.
The Dukes have a winning record this season with a lineup heavy in freshmen and sophomores. Senior guard Sean Johnson leads in scoring (11.7 ppg), but freshmen Quevyn Winters (10.9) and Derrick Colter (10.4) are second and third.
They've already played one Big East opponent well this season, a 61-55 loss at Georgetown on Nov. 11. In their first City Game, those underclassmen want to start writing their own history.
"If we win this game," Winters said, "this will really show what type of character and what type of team we're going to be."
The Dukes could learn from Pitt's success, Ferry said, but the gap between the two is not insurmountable.
"Obviously, there are different conferences," he said. "They're in the Big East heading to the ACC. We're the Atlantic 10. But the goal is to get this program to where we're competing for conference championships. And if we can compete for conference championships in the Atlantic 10 — which is a great conference — then we should be able to compete with Pitt."
Ferry coached an annual series while at LIU Brooklyn against nearby St. John's.
"This game does mean something, as much as we always want to say: 'It's only a (nonconference) game,' " Ferry said. "But for the fans and the alumni, it means a little bit more, and (the players) need to know that."
