Exciting stuff!
Alien Arena is an open sourced game that combines a sci-fi atmosphere with the tournament style deathmatch of Q3A and UT2k4. Major graphical features such as GLSL per-pixel lighting, ragdoll physics, light blooms, real time lights and shadows, textured particles, shaders, and reflective water, create a colorful and immersive deathmatch atmosphere. The game also includes mutators, adjustable effects, bot skill settings, and fully configurable deathmatch, team deathmatch, CTF, All Out Assault, Team Core Assault, Cattle Prod, and Deathball games. The game features original artwork, with a dark, sinister atmosphere combined with an off-the-wall campiness, and trippy, techno type music. There are currently over 60 maps, loaded with weapons(each having an alternate firing mode) and powerups. Alien Arena has fast, smooth gameplay, & players can play online against one another or against the bots. Please post all support issues in the forums for the game.
Alien Arena's CRX Gaming Engine has received a number of major performance upgrades and visual enhancements to boot. Alien Arena can also now be played in both Firefox and IE9.
Posted by Irritant_new on Sep 18th, 2012
Since the release of Alien Arena 7.60, COR has been focusing heavily on improving the performance of the CRX Gaming Engine that powers the game. Over the years there have been a number of breakthroughs in getting the game to run as smooth as possible on all hardware, but this is probably the biggest jump that we've had in this area.
Player models are now rendered using VBO, and animated in the GPU, not only allowing for vast increases in mesh rendering, but this will also allow us to release "HD" versions of the models with far more polygons without sacrificing performance. This change also led to us rendering player shadows using shadowmaps, rather than the Doom III style stencil volumes, also leading to a large increase in framerates. For example, in our benchmark, we saw increases over 300% over version 7.60's speed. The disparity increases the more players models are on screen at once. Without shadows, the framerates in the test went from 130 to 470, with shadows - from 60 to 200. We also made huge improvements on the bsp rendering speed. In many cases, map rendering speed increased over 80%. We expect to make even more gains here before our next release.
Another thing we improved, was the appearance of shadows. Using a fast, 4 sample PCF method with dithering, we were able to achieve natural looking, soft shadows, as seen below.
We are also working on hi-resolution lightmap files, which greatly improve the look and feel of static shadows. All of these changes can be expected in the next release of the game which will be in the not too distant future.
Many of these engine changes are to improve Alien Arena, but it might be a good time to mention that COR will be reviving Alteria, completely revamping it using the CRX engine. For those who don't recall, Alteria was COR's first released title, in 2001. The game was a hybrid of RTS and FPS, with a gothic/medieval theme. The game will be using completely new artwork, but we will try to retain the features that made this game innovative and fun. There is no timetable on the release as of yet.
In other Alien Arena news, we have secured sponsorship from Kingston, Heat Gaming, and Western Digital. On top of that, a company called Roozz has ported Alien Arena to an app that runs the game in the Firefox and IE9 browsers. While there are some kinks to still work out, it offers a new method of installing the game and playing. Alien Arena was also recently at Dreamhack, and will also be there again later this fall. There will be some more news soon, as details get ironed out.
Exciting stuff!
Great news. Btw, any chance we'll see you guys on steam greenlight?
Yup, that is the plan in the near future.
Nice to see AA has picked up, especially since the forum upgrade.

are you going to wait til the end of December to post quarter four?
Welcome to Project Reality: Battlefield 2 (aka PR:BF2), a free to download game modification for the Battlefield 2 (aka BF2) retail Windows PC game. The focus of this mod is to rework the original game engine developed by Digital Illusions of Sweden (Dice) within legal and feasible constraints to create a more realistic combat environment for the gaming community. This includes adjusting various game play elements including physics, visual effects and overall game play formats. Along with changes to how the game handles, the Project Reality team has been introducing British, Insurgent, IDF forces, Canadian, and Russian factions, plus a number of community assisted factions are currently in the works to introduce even more factions to the virtual battlefields. This Mod is not for the masses, due to the fact that it has a much higher learning curve then your classic arcade game. This is the real deal.
January through March Mod and Indie Game 2010 Releases.
Posted by Henley on Nov 21st, 2010
The first quarter of 2010 was quite busy for ModDB, we had our 2009 MOTY awards ending as well as our Divinity 2 concept art competition, traffic was high and the releases were quite varied and unique. January was riding off the excitement and buzz of the MOTY with a very large month of featured releases (twelve to be exact). With a slow decline of releases in February and March. The quality however never dwindled, with some huge releases coming out and amazing modding fans all over the globe.
Company of Heroes: Eastern Front surprised everyone when they released in January 2010 with a brand new faction in Company of Heroes that has never been done before. A trail blazer if there was any!
Human Error is a well polished well planned mod that follows the story of a handful of Combine Soldiers in the Half-Life universe. More then just a simple corridor shooter Half-Life mods have known to become.
Kingdoms Collide a multiplayer third person melee experience that lays the fantasy on think giving players choice on how they wish to fight and the skills they want to develop.
are you going to wait til the end of December to post quarter four?
the MOTY really is the Q4 review. Only downfall to this is mods released after the top 100 is announced will have to wait until the 2011 MOTY to qualify for best "released mod".
We are opening to discussing this with teams who are doing a late release
Have you ever thought of allowing it to run until December 30th? :P
At least, it will not end in Febuary 2011, like the last years.
Gravinull wooooo
Hmm, I like this mod, needs some nice updates though.
The Great Class Dash... I had completely forgot about that. I have to replay that again sometime.
Should put Galactopticon up, that's quality modding.
Graz, my friends.
What makes ModDB a special place! The releases! :D
Now this " quarterly review " news is handy as hell.
Time passes so quickly and with so many projects to play and track combined with everyday life, I forget all too soon which ones I intended to play and shamefully lose track of them all together.
This will serve nicely as my ModDB " post-it" note !
oh man, jailbreak, such a shame that noone plays it any more
Fantastic work!
Watch the "Related" Parts Oo
Where is nightmere house 2!!!
Situation Outbreak will live on. Muahahaha...
Yeah this would be super cool.... If half these mods actually had people PLAYING THEM.
i see C&C 3's "the forgotten" has been fittingly forgotten

Alan Sunderland (born 1 July 1953) is an English former footballer who played in the Football League for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Arsenal and Ipswich Town. He was capped once for England.[2]
Sunderland was born in Conisbrough, Yorkshire, and began his career at Wolverhampton Wanderers as an apprentice.[3] He made nearly 200 appearances in total for the Midlands side,[4] and won the 1974 League Cup[5] and the Football League Second Division championship in the 1977 season.[6]
In November 1977, he joined Arsenal for £220,000;[7] initially a midfielder, he switched position to centre forward[8] and became a regular, playing in the 1978 FA Cup Final, which Arsenal lost to Ipswich Town.[9]
Sunderland's most famous moment came in the 1979 FA Cup Final; Arsenal had gone 2–0 up against Manchester United, with goals from Brian Talbot and Frank Stapleton, and looked set for victory with only five minutes remaining. However, United scored twice in three minutes, with goals from Gordon McQueen and Sammy McIlroy, and extra time loomed. In the very last minute of the match, however, Arsenal pushed forward in a desperate counter-attack; Liam Brady fed Graham Rix on the left wing, and his cross was converted by Sunderland at the far post to make the score 3–2, and win Arsenal the cup.[10]
Sunderland stayed at Arsenal for another five years, forming an impressive partnership with Frank Stapleton for two years;[11] he was the club's top scorer in 1979–80 and 1981–82, and featured in the Arsenal sides that lost the 1980 FA Cup[12] and Cup Winners' Cup finals.[13]
Sunderland also won a single England cap in a 2–1 friendly win over Australia in Sydney on 31 May 1980,[1] and also represented his country at under-21 (as an over-age player),[14] under-23[15] and 'B' team level.[16]
However, after a spate of injuries and the arrival of Charlie Nicholas, Sunderland found himself pushed out of the first team. He joined Ipswich Town on loan in February 1984, helped them to avoid relegation from the First Division, and made the move permanent later in the summer.[17] He played for Ipswich until 1986, then had a brief stint at Irish club Derry City, before calling it a day. Following retirement, he opened a pub in Ipswich, before emigrating to Malta[18] where he coached local team Birkirkara.[19]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ The N-F-L suspends Chiefs defensive end
Jared Allen for the first four games of the 2007 season for
violating its substance-abuse policy.
Allen learned of the suspension from the league office today.
The 25-year-old Allen has been charged twice in the last year
with driving under the influence of alcohol in the Kansas City
area. He entered a diversion program for the first charge and
pleaded no contest to the second.

Nanotechnology could turn shrubbery into supercharged energy producers or sensors for explosives.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Plants have many valuable functions: They provide food and fuel, release the oxygen that we breathe, and add beauty to our surroundings. Now, a team of MIT researchers wants to make plants even more useful by augmenting them with nanomaterials that could enhance their energy production and give them completely new functions, such as monitoring environmental pollutants.
In a new Nature Materials paper, the researchers report boosting plants' ability to capture light energy by 30 percent by embedding carbon nanotubes in the chloroplast, the plant organelle where photosynthesis takes place. Using another type of carbon nanotube, they also modified plants to detect the gas nitric oxide.
Together, these represent the first steps in launching a scientific field the researchers have dubbed "plant nanobionics."
"Plants are very attractive as a technology platform," says Michael Strano, the Carbon P. Dubbs Professor of Chemical Engineering and leader of the MIT research team. "They repair themselves, they're environmentally stable outside, they survive in harsh environments, and they provide their own power source and water distribution."
Strano and the paper's lead author, postdoc and plant biologist Juan Pablo Giraldo, envision turning plants into self-powered, photonic devices such as detectors for explosives or chemical weapons. The researchers are also working on incorporating electronic devices into plants. "The potential is really endless," Strano says.
Supercharged photosynthesis
The idea for nanobionic plants grew out of a project in Strano's lab to build self-repairing solar cells modeled on plant cells. As a next step, the researchers wanted to try enhancing the photosynthetic function of chloroplasts isolated from plants, for possible use in solar cells.
Chloroplasts host all of the machinery needed for photosynthesis, which occurs in two stages. During the first stage, pigments such as chlorophyll absorb light, which excites electrons that flow through the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. The plant captures this electrical energy and uses it to power the second stage of photosynthesis — building sugars.
Chloroplasts can still perform these reactions when removed from plants, but after a few hours, they start to break down because light and oxygen damage the photosynthetic proteins. Usually plants can completely repair this kind of damage, but extracted chloroplasts can't do it on their own.
To prolong the chloroplasts' productivity, the researchers embedded them with cerium oxide nanoparticles, also known as nanoceria. These particles are very strong antioxidants that scavenge oxygen radicals and other highly reactive molecules produced by light and oxygen, protecting the chloroplasts from damage.
The researchers delivered nanoceria into the chloroplasts using a new technique they developed called lipid exchange envelope penetration, or LEEP. Wrapping the particles in polyacrylic acid, a highly charged molecule, allows the particles to penetrate the fatty, hydrophobic membranes that surrounds chloroplasts. In these chloroplasts, levels of damaging molecules dropped dramatically.
Using the same delivery technique, the researchers also embedded semiconducting carbon nanotubes, coated in negatively charged DNA, into the chloroplasts. Plants typically make use of only about 10 percent of the sunlight available to them, but carbon nanotubes could act as artificial antennae that allow chloroplasts to capture wavelengths of light not in their normal range, such as ultraviolet, green, and near-infrared.
With carbon nanotubes appearing to act as a "prosthetic photoabsorber," photosynthetic activity — measured by the rate of electron flow through the thylakoid membranes — was 49 percent greater than that in isolated chloroplasts without embedded nanotubes. When nanoceria and carbon nanotubes were delivered together, the chloroplasts remained active for a few extra hours.
The researchers then turned to living plants and used a technique called vascular infusion to deliver nanoparticles into Arabidopsis thaliana, a small flowering plant. Using this method, the researchers applied a solution of nanoparticles to the underside of the leaf, where it penetrated tiny pores known as stomata, which normally allow carbon dioxide to flow in and oxygen to flow out. In these plants, the nanotubes moved into the chloroplast and boosted photosynthetic electron flow by about 30 percent.
Yet to be discovered is how that extra electron flow influences the plants' sugar production. "This is a question that we are still trying to answer in the lab: What is the impact of nanoparticles on the production of chemical fuels like glucose?" Giraldo says.
Lean green machines
The researchers also showed that they could turn Arabidopsis thaliana plants into chemical sensors by delivering carbon nanotubes that detect the gas nitric oxide, an environmental pollutant produced by combustion.
Strano's lab has previously developed carbon nanotube sensors for many different chemicals, including hydrogen peroxide, the explosive TNT, and the nerve gas sarin. When the target molecule binds to a polymer wrapped around the nanotube, it alters the tube's fluorescence.
"We could someday use these carbon nanotubes to make sensors that detect in real time, at the single-particle level, free radicals or signaling molecules that are at very low-concentration and difficult to detect," Giraldo says.
By adapting the sensors to different targets, the researchers hope to develop plants that could be used to monitor environmental pollution, pesticides, fungal infections, or exposure to bacterial toxins. They are also working on incorporating electronic nanomaterials, such as graphene, into plants.
"Right now, almost no one is working in this emerging field," Giraldo says. "It's an opportunity for people from plant biology and the chemical engineering nanotechnology community to work together in an area that has a large potential."

D O G C L O G J O G I walked the dog early today. (My little Jack Daniels, Sophie) This is not a good time to wear a pair of clogs. This is a really good time to jog... Erma Bombek said she would jog when the runners started smiling. And so it goes... Pam H
Gauge Page Cage My gauge tells me summer is cooling down. We are on the same page. There are plenty of activities, so I do not feel a cage and I am outside. This summer I moved from Texas to Arizona. You all are so nice. I feel like a cheerleader, Dallas Rangers' style. So now it is back to school time. How was YOUR summer? Make it count. And so it goes... Pam H

This only cost $3.00, so I do not need a security guard (although it looks like a million dollars.) A guard would not have to ward off flocks of visitors, but yes, all my company gets a full house tour. This is a really good time for a really cold drink. Please tip your glass with me. Closing, Pam H
R A I N P A N E C A N E Today I drove to Dallas in the rain. There was rain water on the window pane. If I remained in Arizona I could just wait for rain until I was old enough to walk with a cane. Seriously, there really were a few raindrops and this old granny is a kid again, splashing in puddles. And so it goes... Pam H
P A I N T F A I N T The new frosty green paint in the front room looks good. That green paint looks so good that I might faint. This old story could be quaint. My little dog Sophie is resting.

I will pack 2 purple outfits and yes, my little dog Sophie will ride along. Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard will sing on the CD player. Maybe the menu will see a change. Maybe we will all gain a pound. Probably we will all have a really good time. Buying postcards has a better final effect than taking pictures. And so it goes... Pam H
C U R T A I N C E R T A I N Past the short white kitchen curtains are the treetops outside. I am certain today is going to be a wonderful day. The coffee is always perking. Little Sophie thinks she might enjoy a cup as well. Oh well... and so it goes... Pam H
P I N K R I N K My pennies are in a pink box. The box is on the rink of the shelf. A drink of raspberry lemonade would taste great right now. Just looking out the window into the green treetops is special. Not too many months ago my home was in the Arizona dessert where sand surrounds everything and cactus is the fence. Now life is about sharing with funny little raccoons and slow-moving armadilloes. And so it goes... Pam H.
R E D D R E A D We are having a red, white, and blue weekend. The thoughts are sparkling in my head. That book on my table is already read. The holiday traffic all moved safely (and quickly.) The Tucker Family Reunion was special and I thank the Tuckers for inviting me. All the hugging caused me to want one more hug from my mother and grandmother. And so it goes... Pam H
P O R F A V O R, P o o r Please pour some more lemonade. Poor me---I am so thirsty. Bitte, danke schoen, gracias, por favor This is a holiday weekend. I hope your time is special. And so it goes... Pam H
T A S T E W A I S T Let's have a taste of Baby Ray's Sweet Barbecue sauce. I will baste the boneless ribs just right (very slowly.) We will not eat the whole cow, so the pounds will not be paste on the waist. And so it goes... Pam H

I think that is a wonderful device, made in the days when watchmakers and craftsmen made 'computers' out of brass.
It will be compromised by nature of it using an obsolete systems for film speed and possibly aperture as well, but the principle of calculating exposure, rather than measuring it, is sound. The idea still has advocates:
The real challenge would be to make a 'modern' version with a familiar ISO speed range. No reason why it shouldn't be a useful tool. I carry around cardboard depth of field calculators and widgets to calculate bellows factor. Never feels right pulling out a modern spot meter with a wood and brass camera.
Not sure I like the 'app' on a phone idea, though. IMHO, If the thing can suffer battery failure - it ain't steampunk! Get the brass out and start filing ;-)

continued When the action moved over to Saturday's state qualifier, WG sought the overall sectional title. But it could only manage second place, with 241 points, as this time CBA relied on its individual stars to go to the top with 275 points.
In a 200 freestyle thriller, Castro posted a school-record time of 1:54.77, just behind CBA's Maggie Fletcher, who won in 1:54.71, and she was also third in the 100 freestyle in 53.84 seconds.
Pedrotti would earn her own school record of 5:18.07 in the 500 freestyle, on her way to a second-place finish behind Fletcher (5:17.09), and though she improved in the 100 breaststroke to 1:08.74, CBA's Kathryn Coughlin still beat her in 1:04.78.
Castro, Pedrotti, Brusa and Smith would earn a spot in the Nov. 19-20 state meet at Erie Community College in Buffalo when they swam the 200 medley relay in 1:53.43, second again to CBA (1:51.95).
Smith, on her own, was fifth in the 100 backstroke (1:01.60) as the Wildcats got fourth in the 200 freestyle relay (1:44.27) and sixth in the 400 freestyle relay.
Abby Uczen was 16th in diving with 287.90 points, earning a spot in Saturday's qualifier, where she did a superb job, rising to sixth place with 330.3 points.

I'm amazed that analog people care at all about what digital say, do or shoot. But they seem to because these threads are all rants about fn-digital.
Analog people have to be aware they are now an extremely small niche market. 25 years ago 100% of photography was probably analog. Now it's probably less than 5%.
So enjoy you uniqueness.
You don't get to be unique and special and be the same as everyone else.
Why not celebrate the fact that 95% of the photography world is the same and you're different.

Password Help and General FAQ
Student Password Help and General FAQ
Video bank
Below are links to brief (30 seconds or less) videos which show you "how to":
Why is logging out of the portal so important?
The portal keeps you connected to LCCC and all of your student information. To protect the privacy of your account, remember to log out of each session and close all browsers. When you go to Bannerweb or your Email within the portal, separate browser windows open. It is important that you log out of ALL of these applications and close ALL browsers to keep your information secure.
To logout of the portal, click on the [Sign Out] button in the upper right corner of the portal screen. Check the bottom of the monitor to make sure all open windows have been closed before leaving a computer.
What should I do if I lost or never received my portal account or password information?
If you never received or have lost your myLCCC portal username and/or password letter, you can do one of the following:
- In person: Bring 2 valid forms of ID (one must be a photo ID) to Enrollment Services on the Schnecksville Campus. You can also go to one of the sites for assistance. Hours for the Morgan and Carbon sites are 8am-5pm. Hours at the Donley site are 9-530, Mon.-Thursday and 8-430 on Friday. Stop by any of the main desk areas of these campuses to obtain your login and password information. Again, bring two forms of ID, one with a photo on it.
- By mail: Fill out the Portal Assistance Form and a copy of your original letters will be sent to you via postal mail. For your protection, your ID letter will ONLY be sent to the mailing address that LCCC has on file.
I forgot my user ID but have my original password letter
If you have never logged into the myLCCC Portal, you can use the hint below to recall your username and your password letter to login. If that does not help, please contact Enrollment Services.
Hint: Your portal username and email address are the same. Example: portal username = jstudent, email account = jstudent(@mymail.lccc.edu). Only use the part before the @ sign.
I forgot my password, but know my username
When you logged into the myLCCC portal for the first time, you set up your security questions and answers. Enter your portal username in the 'Forgot Password' box just below the login boxes on the Portal login page. You will see the security questions you set up. After you answer the questions, you will need to reset your password.
What browsers are supported?
If you are having trouble after you login to the portal, such as portlets not showing all or some of the information, you may be using an unsupported browser. Try a supported browser and make sure you have allowed for pop-ups for the portal.
Will Yahoo, Bing, Norton, or AOL add-on toolbars affect my ability connect or access things in the portal?
Yes, there is a very good chance that your ability to view or login to the portal will be interfered with if you have any of these tool bars on your computer. You will need to remove them if you want to use the portal on your home computer. The portal uses pop-up windows and secure pages.
How do I change my security questions and answers?
On the navigation bar at the top of any portal screen, select "my menu" then "My Account". In the left panel, select "Update Password Reset Questions". Type in your new questions and/or answers and BE SURE TO CLICK THE [SAVE] BUTTON.
What is the 'Launch Pad'?
The Launch Pad is a tool which contains shortcuts to allow students easy access to the most visited places. Among other things, you will find direct links to Angel(our online learning system), your class schedule, financial aid, student bill and email in the Launch Pad.
I am having trouble connecting to the icon on the Launch Pad for my schedule
Try clicking on the item "Connect to Bannerweb" to retrieve your class schedule through the Student Tab. If this works, check for pop-up blockers and/or add-on tool bars and make sure you are using a supported browser.
I am having trouble connecting to Angel (the "Connect to Online Classes" icon in the Launch Pad) - what should I do?
Try clicking on other applications in the Launch Pad. If those applications open, this is not a portal issue. Please contact 610-799-1919 for assistance with Angel.
What is the 'Control Panel' used for?
The control panel is where you go to change passwords, reset security questions, and see what documents, blogs, and content you have access to within the portal.
Creating strong passwords
Follow the instructions in the "Reset Password" portlet and use the following tips:
- Set your password to something that is easy to remember, so it does not need to be written down.
- Make your password a minimum of eight characters in length.
- You should be able to type your password quickly, for security purposes.
- Try using a complete sentence that begins with a capital letter and has a numeric value in it. For example: Ihave2birds
- Further increase security by adding special characters, such as ! or @.
- You should avoid complete words, unless you mix the spelling with numbers, such as 'C4r0us3!' in place of 'carousel'.
- Never share your password with anyone.
Choosing good security questions
- Answers to your security questions are not case sensitive.
- Choose a question only you know the answer to - make sure the question isn't associated with your username or password.
- Pick a question that can't be answered through research (for example, avoid your mother's maiden name, your birth date, your first or last name, your social security number, your phone number, etc).
- A more recent bit of advice is to employ misdirection, as long as you remember you have done this. For example, if your first name is Jim, create a question such as "First name?", but put the answer as "Bob".
Why do I receive a message about secure and non-secure items when I use the LCCC Portal?
At LCCC we believe your privacy is important. We use encryption to make sure that data that is in your account is secured. Some of the information from external sites is not encrypted and generates this warning. Be assured that all information retrieved from the LCCC internal systems is protected. Click [No] to continue and see all content, but only if this is a trusted site. If you would like to disable the warning message, please follow these steps:
What is "My Profile"?
My Profile is your pages. You can personalize your profile, add content and pages.
Who can see My Profile?
You control who can and cannot see your profile. To see who can see your profile, go to your profile and click configuration.
I cannot login to Bannerweb. When I click on the link inside the portal, it gives me an error message.
To test your ability to connect to external systems from within the portal, click on other Launch Pad links, such as "Check Student Email" and "Check Library Account". Also check the browser you are using - supported browsers are:
Check the SYSTEM CHECK box on the lower left of the login page. This will tell you if you have a component missing, which may be causing the problem.
Also make the myLCCC Portal a Trusted Site.
Understanding the Portal Session Timeouts
As part of the portal upgrade in June 2011, we will no longer see a session timeout warning message - your connection will just timeout after 15 minutes. We proved our vendor's warning message to be inaccurate, often causing the connection to timeout in fewer than 15 minutes of inactivity. After the timeout occurs, when you click on an item in the portal, you will now be redirected to a new login page - it has an image of the Rothrock Library at Main Campus.
For reference, the Portal session timeout is not linked to, and will not affect, other systems. For example, if your portal session does timeout while you are working in ANGEL, Banner, or Gmail, you will not lose your connection to those systems. You may continue to work in the applications you launched from the portal, regardless of whether the portal browser is live, timed out, or even closed.
The purpose of the timeout is to secure your personal data when you are using public systems, such as libraries or computer labs. The portal provides access to Banner, which allows you to see your home address, course information, and financial data. If you walk away from a computer without logging off from the portal, someone could use your portal connection to view this information. In addition to logging out of the portal, and all external applications launched from the portal, you should also close all open browsers when you are finished.
There is no way to opt-out of these portal session timeouts, or mark a particular computer system as "private". Other systems have similar timeout security measures, including Banner, online banking services and e-commerce sites.

Electrical forces for manipulating cells at the microscale include electrophoresis and
dielectrophoresis. Electrophoretic forces arise from the interaction of a cell's charge
and an electric field, whereas dielectrophoresis arises from a cell's polarizability. Both
forces can be used to create microsystems that separate cell mixtures into its com-
ponent cell types or act as electrical "handles" to transport cells or place them in
specific locations. This review explores the use of these two forces for microscale cell
manipulation. We first examine the forces and electrodes used to create them, then
address potential impacts on cell health, followed by examples of devices for both
separating cells and handling them.

Manipulating cells is fundamental to much of biology and biotechnology. From cell-
based screens for basic science (1) to surface immunophenotyping for diagnosis (2),
from studying how cell shape affects differentiation (3) to detecting pathogenic bac-
teria in food supplies (4), cell-based assays are crucial to bioscience. Integral to these
assays is the need to manipulate the physical location of cells, either to separate them
from phenotypically different cells or to organize them in vitro. Owing to the small
size and typically large numbers of cells, we need surrogate "hands" to provide effi-
cient physical access to cells that our fingers cannot grasp.
Many techniques exist to physically manipulate cells, including optical tweezers
(5), acoustic forces (6), and surface modification (7). Electrical forces are an increas-
ingly common approach for enacting these manipulations. Electrical forces can be

of different forces can be created to translate, rotate, stretch, or otherwise manipulate
particles. As discussed below, these forces tend to scale favorably for manipulating
cells in microfluidic devices, explaining their popularity.
In this review, I focus on the use of EP and DEP to manipulate cells. I distin-
guish separation, where one wishes to move one type of cell relative to another, from
handling, where one wishes to move one type of cell relative to the device within
which it resides. As defined, separation is a subset of handling. Given the predomi-
nance of DEP over EP for such manipulations, this review gives more attention to
DEP. Additionally, I focus on research that relates to cells rather than colloids to
highlight the specific challenges one faces when working with living things. In this
context, the term particles includes cells from hundreds of nanometers to tens of
Owing to space limitations, I do not discuss electrical methods to manipulate
move cells (reviewed in 8).
Cells can be manipulated in electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields. Electro-
cles when used as optical tweezers (5). At low frequencies or in systems that are small
compared with the wavelength of the field, the electric and magnetic components
of the electromagnetic field decouple and one will dominate (9). In microsystems,
where the characteristic length is <1 mm, fields at frequencies ?30 GHz will de-
couple. This decoupling leads to the quasistatic approximation (9), and the resulting
fields are known as electroquasistatic and magnetoquasistatic fields. These are com-
monly referred to as the electric and magnetic fields, respectively, although that is
only strictly true at DC. In this review, I use the terms electric and electroquasistatic

Magnetoquasistatic fields are used to manipulate cells either due to an intrinsic
magnetizability, such as the iron in red blood cells (10), or by attaching magnetic
materials to the cells for magnetically activated cell sorting (11). The resulting force
is due to the interaction of a magnetic dipole with a nonuniform magnetic field and
is known as magnetophoresis. Magnetophoresis has the important attribute of being
highly specific because the vast majority of material does not respond strongly to
magnetic fields. Thus, targeting a magnetic material to a cell makes it very easy to
then separate that cell from the milieu. The drawback of being highly specific is that
the technique requires a label (except for red blood cells), whereas techniques that
Forces of Electrical Origin
Electroquasistatic forces result from the interaction of electric charges and the fields
that they generate. These electrical forces can be subdivided into two categories:
Coulomb forces and dielectrophoretic forces.
Electrophoresis. The Coulomb force is given by F = qE, where q is the net charge
on the object and E is the applied electric field. Most cells [except for some bacteria
(12)] are covered with negatively charged functional groups at neutral pH (13). Be-
will move at a velocity given by the balance of the Coulomb and viscous drag forces,
a process known as EP (Figure 1a, left). The electrophoretic mobility (μ) relating
electric-field intensity to velocity is, to first order, given by μ = εmξ/η, where εm
is the permittivity of the liquid, η is the liquid viscosity, and ξ is the zeta potential,
which is primarily related to the particle's charge density and the ionic strength of the
liquid (14). For most biological cells, the EP mobility is ∼10−4cm2/V-s, or 1 μm/s
in a field of 1 V/cm (13). Any use of EP, therefore, to separate different cell types is
dependent on the two cells having different zeta potentials.
Dielectrophoresis. Whereas EP arises from the interaction of a particle's charge
and an electric field, DEP (in its simplest form) is due to the interaction of a particle's
One general form of the expression is
Fdep= p · ∇E,
where p is the particle's dipole moment. One sees that the gradient of the electric

a nonzero torque will be created, forming the basis of electrorotation (22). In both
uniform and nonuniform fields, the cell will also experience an electrodeformation

For cells, the dipole moment is induced by the applied electric field. When cells (and
other polarizable particles) are placed in an electric field, a dipole is induced to satisfy
the boundary conditions on the electric field. This induced dipole can be created
by free charge, by polarization charge (e.g., water), or in general by a combination
of the two. The exact constitution of the dipole will be related to the frequency
of the applied field; at low frequencies (down to DC) free-charge dipoles dominate,

where R is the radius of the particle; εmand εpare the complex permittivities of the
medium and the particle, respectively, and are each given by ε = ε + σ/( jω), where
ε is the permittivity of the medium or particle, σ is the conductivity of the medium
or particle, and j is√−1. K is known as the Clausius-Mossotti (CM) factor.
In a linearly polarized sinusoidal field [e.g., E(r) = E(r)], we can combine Equa-
tions 1 and 2 to arrive at an expression for the time-average DEP force, given by
?Fdep(r)?= πεmR3Re[K(ω)] · ∇ |E(r)|2,
where ?? denotes the time average. If the relative polarizability of the cell is greater
than that of the medium, then Re[K(ω)] will be positive (known as positive DEP, or
than the medium, then Re[K(ω)] is negative, and the force will be directed down
the field gradient (negative DEP, or nDEP). Examining the expression for K(ω) in
Equation 2, one sees that Re[K(ω)] can only vary between +1 and −0.5.
Of course, cells are neither uniform (e.g., they are multilayered particles with
a membrane, cytoplasm, etc.) nor necessarily spherical (e.g., red blood cells, some
bacteria). These complications do not alter the fundamental physics, but rather result

Re: Why does iphoto always upgrade the library? in response to alden1977
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Re: Why does iphoto always upgrade the library? in response to alden1977
With iPhoto 11 do the following: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

704 Interamnia is a very large asteroid, with an estimated diameter of 350 kilometres. Its mean distance from the Sun is 3.067 (AU). It was discovered on October 2, 1910 by Vincenzo Cerulli, and named after the Latin name for Teramo, Italy, where Cerulli worked. It is probably the fifth-most-massive asteroid after Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea, with a mass estimated to be 1.2% of the mass of the entire asteroid belt.[6]
Although Interamnia is the largest asteroid after the "big four", it is a very little-studied body. It is easily the largest of the F-type asteroids, but there exist very few details of its internal composition or shape, and no light curve analysis has yet been done to determine the ecliptic coordinates of Interamnia's poles (and hence its axial tilt). Its apparently high bulk density (though subject to much error) suggests an extremely solid body entirely without internal porosity or traces of water. This also strongly suggests that Interamnia is large enough to have fully withstood all the collisions that have occurred in the asteroid belt since the Solar System was formed.
Its very dark surface and relatively large distance from the Sun means Interamnia can never be seen with 10x50 binoculars. At most oppositions its magnitude is around +11.0, which is less than the minimum brightness of Vesta, Ceres or Pallas. Even at a perihelic opposition its magnitude is only +9.9,[5] which is over four magnitudes lower than Vesta.
Its orbit is slightly more eccentric than that of Hygiea (15% versus 12%) but differs from Hygiea's in its much greater inclination and slightly shorter period. Another difference is that Interamnia's perihelion is located on the opposite side from the perihelia of the "big four", so that Interamnia at perihelion is actually closer to the Sun than Ceres and Pallas are at the same longitude. It is unlikely to collide with Pallas because their nodes are located too far apart, whilst although its nodes are located on the opposite side from those of Ceres, it is generally clear of Ceres when both cross the same orbital plane and a collision is again unlikely.
IRAS measurements in 1983 estimated the asteroid to be 317 ± 5 km in diameter.[1] An occultation in 1996 produced a diameter of 329 km.[7] Observations of a favorable occultation of a bright 6.6 magnitude star on March 23, 2003, produced thirty-five chords indicating an ellipsoid of 350×304 km,[2][8] thus giving the asteroid a geometric mean diameter of 326 km.
In 2001, Michalak estimated Interamnia to have a mass of 6.9×1019 kg. Michalak's estimate depends on the masses of 19 Fortuna, 29 Amphitrite, and 16 Psyche; thus this mass was obtained assuming an incomplete dynamical model.[9]
In 2007, Baer and Chesley estimated Interamnia to have a mass of (7.12±0.84)×1019 kg.[10] As of 2010[update], Baer suggests Interamnia has a mass of only (3.90±0.18)×1019 kg.[4] This makes it more massive than 511 Davida, though the error bars overlap.[4]
Goffin's 2014 astrometric reanalysis gives an even lower mass of 2.725 ± 0.12×1019 kg (and has 3.00 ± 0.1 ×1019 kg for 511 Davida.[11]

I certainly am not impressed with either Helm or BioExx. Smacks of amateur submission to me. Did the people responsible really believe they could get approval for a food product destined to be marketed for the first time to a population of which infants will also be targeted for consumption on just their say so that it is safe? With no real life clinical data presented to support their claims? Somebody didn't adequately do their homework or else their research would of told them their application had a major hole in it. You can almost sense the EU authorities in their response were offended by the presumption of these applicants in thinking they could get approval on the cheap based solely on some random laboratory tests. Maybe the company could of made better use of their money in the last year than paying an Executive VP and a VP of Operations when there are no operations to speak of? As usual there is way too much drama attached to anything they try to do. The question now is how fast can BXI correct their screw up?
