I'm back in Ottawa and I wanted to provide some more more information on XNA Game studio express. A lot of questions were asked during the conference about how the XBox 360 development of games for the retail unit would work. Here's the answer:
P.S. as an XBox 360 game develooper you can't sell these games either... the games you develop using XNA Game Studio Express are are for non-commercial usage only.
You can also find lots of good information from the following links:

I will post also post 2 podcasts I did with Mitch Walker from Microsoft and Josh Williams from Garage Games very soon.

Can you tell me how well it works in the cold? I saw the operating temperature to be only 14 degrees F. I'm guessing that the screen response time gets slow when cold, is there anything else that is affected by the cold on these?

hmmm my phone plays MP3's and can surf the internet.. so does that mean if i strap if to my A/C vents it's a carPC?
Yes i believe a member stated that before.. You asked for feedback in your second post so I gave it to you.. not all feedback will be good
I would also argue that this is a "show off your project" sub forum.. and I'm not impressed by your setup.. mostly because it took very little imagination to do what you just did..
I bet if you posted it in a different subforum your reception would be different.. like the newbie or wireless communication forum..

I have my N800 in hand.
Not only is it vastly improved, but Nokia used it as an in-car navigation and entertainment device in their demos.
Two links to watch:
Update: The N800 is fabulous, but Canola hasn't been ported to it yet. Also, the device sports two SD card slots (full sized SD, so MiniSD, MMC, RS-MMC, MicroSD, etc. can be used with an adapter) for up to 4GB of storage. It's only a kernel upgrade away from supporting SDHC too.

Manning restructures contract to save Colts cap room
Updated: February 21, 2007, 5:39 PM ETESPN.com news services
INDIANAPOLIS -- Peyton Manning has agreed to restructure his contract with the Indianapolis Colts to save the team $8.2 million in salary cap space.
The deal was first reported by ESPN.com's John Clayton.
The Super Bowl MVP was to receive a $10 million roster bonus
during the offseason but by converting the money into a regular
signing bonus, the Colts can prorate that amount over the remaining
four years of his deal. That saves Indianapolis space under the
cap, which is $109 ...

Twangfest 19 brought the cool to a hot summer night on Thursday as Matthew Sweet graced the stage at Off Broadway.
The latest music from Spectator, led by Megan Rooney and Jeff Albert, picks up where the St. Louis band left off three years ago, with its first EP "In the Brick." The weightless melodies and jazzy rhythms are there, but on a track like "Muddy Water," a sense of beautiful foreboding and psychedelic exploration surges forth.
Cotton Jones headlined Off Broadway Wednesday night with local band Spectator opening.
They're writing great songs, releasing albums and playing shows all the time. 2012 brought some fantastic releases from local St. Louis artists -- some brand new to the scene and others sounding better than ever.
Oh ye merry music fans, do we have a compilation for you. The second volume of KDHXmas features 17 artists from St. Louis and beyond, all playing brand new and/or familiar songs to make the season bright.
Thursday night at Off Broadway brought out an interesting mix of music.
The latest in the long-running series of KDHX benefits and artist tributes, Back to Rockville: A Tribute to R.E.M. and 88.1 KDHX Benefit brought 10 bands and a few hundred music lovers out to Off Broadway on Friday to celebrate the songs of one of the most influential bands of the past 30 years.
The shimmering and lilting folk rock of Spectator is perfect for a stroll in the moonlight or just slipping into a day dream.

The park will be closed for camping from Dec 1, 2015 - Mar 20, 2016. Day use will remain open. The pier is closed until further notice due to severe damage from the recent storm.
37 of the 39 campsites at Gaviota State Park can now be reserved in advance between the Friday of Memorial Day weekend and the Sunday of Labor Day weekend each year.
Gaviota State Park takes its name from the Spanish word for seagull, given to the area by soldiers of the Portola Expedition who supposedly killed a seagull while camping here in 1769. Marked by a tall Southern Pacific railroad trestle that crosses Gaviota Creek high above the day-use parking lot, the park is a popular spot for swimming, picnicking, surf fishing and camping, despite high winds that often blow through the area. A pier on the west end of the beach is used by anglers, and scuba divers and surfers use a boat hoist on the pier to access the waters of the Santa Barbara Channel. Visitors can explore the rugged upland portions of the park from a trailhead in the parking area. Ambitious hikers can climb to Gaviota Peak that offers a spectacular view of the coast and the Channel Islands.
Marine Protected Areas
Gaviota State Park is also home to the Kashtayit State Marine Conservation Area, and boater launching from Gaviota may be able access the Point Conception State Marine Reserve. Each area has its own rules regarding fishing and the take of living marine resources. Please visit http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/mpa/mpa_summary.asp for specific rules regarding each area.

Date of Stay: May, 2015
Super clean and nice! We got there well after hours, but we knew our site number and headed there. Within moments, the security guard drove up to help us set up, give us paperwork, etc. She also helped figure out our dinner plans at the casino! She went above and beyond, and we appreciated it so much. As for the park, it was lovely! Very well maintained, desert style buildings, all attractive. We used the laundry, it was immaculate. Checked in to the clubhouse too, grabbed a donut, the lady on duty was very cordial and friendly; clubhouse also attractive.
Date of Stay: May, 2015
This place felt like a resort! Beautiful entrance, huge well stocked gift shop, easy check in. Big wide sites with paver patios and picnic tables. Sites were set up with rigs facing every other direction, which would be great if travelling with someone else. (Probably not great otherwise, though!) We decided to stop here and called just the day before; even though they seemed fairly full, we got a nice site on the end, with a tree. Great for our dogs! Very nice desert landscape, no stickers or weeds; well maintained fenced dog run. We appreciate the dog run and lack of stickers as we travel with our two Standard Schnauzers. We also purchased propane here; easy transaction. Family run park, dad, mom, son and daughter; all were delightful and helpful. Would stay here again in a heartbeat, loved the Gallup area!
Date of Stay: May, 2015
WOW, this place is an oasis! Out in the middle of nowhere, it appears out of the desert. Beautiful grounds, nicely done with gravel and decomposed granite. Two fenced dog runs; and they actually have several grassy lawn areas. (A must for our dogs to walk on, they love their grass.) The place is gated 24/7, but as a guest you receive a code to enter to open the gate. Easy in and out if you want to go into Winslow for dinner. We LOVED this place, would stay hear again, highly recommend.
Date of Stay: May, 2015
We stayed here just one night, brief stopover on our way from CA to NM. We arrived late, yet the hosts were very accommodating. We didn't use any of the facilities, like restrooms, etc. but we did enjoy the park. Very clean park, well landscaped, nice oleander hedges between sites gave lots of privacy. Super easy in and out, lots of pull-through sites. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
This park is mostly long term residents, very few sites available to reserve nightly. The manager stated that their company policy is that if a long term resident extends, a nightly person even with reservations is placed in their overflow area. The overflow area was stated to have hookups, but water and electric only, no sewer. In fact there were no hook ups; electric was run from the office and not sufficient to run AC. If you plan to stay during warm months, I would recommend you have a working generator for AC. Water hookup was fine. The water hook ups are hose bibs around the perimeter of the overflow, which is a very large parking lot. The water hook ups were fine. The restrooms were clean; the staff was friendly and as accommodating as they could be. The park was overall in decent shape, nice in the overflow area where we parked, but many sites inside the park were not well kept up. There is no dump station at this park.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
What a great park! Very clean, beautiful green grass everywhere, tons of families and big groups but noise level non-existent. We camped here in conjunction with the car show in Solvang; we were with 6 other couples in RVs, several had classic cars. This place accommodated us very well, put us all in a row together, no issues with extra cars. LOVE THEM!
Date of Stay: July, 2013
This was the fourth time we have stayed here; every time before has been PERFECT; this time a disaster. We go to Ventura for a dog show at the fairgrounds same time every year. We know it's a holiday, and we enjoy hearing everyone celebrate. We have always been able to choose our site; we make reservations 6 months in advance. On arrival, we were told that because we didn't pay a fee of $15, our site selection had not been guaranteed. We said we would gladly have paid that and more to guarantee the site; we were told "well you know now". We were squeezed into the same size site in another section of the park, with ANOTHER RV at no reduction of price. We were so upset, I was in tears. Eventually they moved us to a site near the one we had chosen. We noticed that the sewer connection was full of water, but hooked up anyway and had no problems until we left and were unable to dump our tanks. Also, they had a band playing until midnight on Saturday, even though quite time was 10PM. We complained to Security to no avail. When we went home, we tried to contact the park manager to voice our issues but never received a return call. We posted on their Facebook page with the same request; they removed our post without a call. I don't know if this place has changed hands or not, but it seems like they feel like you have no other choice but them so put up or shut up!
Date of Stay: March, 2012
This park is fairly rustic but very pretty, with lots of trees. There are quite a few permanent residents, but they are all off in a couple of sections away from the overnights. Unfortunately these are the only full hook up sites. Luckily we didn't expect full hook ups. We had a late winter storm while we were there, and this was a huge problem. All of the sites turned to nasty, sticky mud; stepping out of our motorhome we stepped into about 1" of mud. The roads became rutted and full of potholes, and we damaged the bottom of our towed car when we were leaving. (It was not hitched to our motorhome.) Overall the place is nice, the manager is very accommodating, and we would stay here again. BUT do not stay here if you expect any kind of wet weather at all!
Date of Stay: April, 2010
We were originally booked at a park in Fresno but were "bumped" and had to find a place quickly. We found this park in the Auto Club tour book, called them, and they had a spot for us! Very nice couple running the place, friendly and accommodating to us even though we didn't have reservations. Even recommended a nice place for dinner in town. Beautiful, clean, quiet park in a rural area but close enough to the main part of town. Can't say enough good things about them!
Date of Stay: April, 2010
Very rustic looking park, authentic to the area. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Nice big site, gravel throughout park. Small fenced dog walk area. Lots of big trees; very clean and quiet. We would stay here again!
Date of Stay: March, 2010
Very basic park with gravel drives and sites. Lots of big shade trees, clean and well kept. Quiet even though it was in between a busy street and the 5 Fwy. Owner/Host very friendly and accommodating. No sewer hookups but rest stop north on the 5 has two free dump stations. We stayed here for a dog show at Del Mar fairgrounds. Much better than the full hookup sites that we saw at the fairgrounds. We will stay here again.

Awesome Piece of Hardware
This review is from: KWORLD Video Device VS-TV1440RNB VGA Interface
Pros: Used this thing to get television on my CRT.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Outdated now, but this was a heavy duty piece back when LCD and Plasma's were hundreds of dollars.
Did you find this review helpful?
Does the job...
This review is from: KWORLD Video Device VS-TV1440RNB VGA Interface
Pros: 1. Easy to setup
Cons: Don't lose the cables that come with this as the addapters and plugs are not easy to find anywhere.
Other Thoughts: I have decided that for entertainment I no longer need a Television for the rest of my life. In it's place I use computer screens (viewsonic 1912wb 1440x900). I wanted to play some lego starwars and my monitor didn't have the RCA inputs that the PS2 required. Rather than drop the cash to buy a TV this little device has given me a convient computer upgrade. Like another reviewer, I am running this box to the VGA input on my monitor and using DVI to my PC. Works like a dream for my cheap entertainment needs.

TV only, and yes I'm serious.
This review is from: KWORLD Video Device VS-TV1440RNB VGA Interface
Pros: Way cheaper than an actual LCD TV, its small enough that I just stuck it between two consoles and it does come with a stand. Its perfectly fine for TV watching, the NTSC signals may look iffy at times but any LCD TV that you pay twice as much for WILL DO THE SAME.
Cons: Do not get for consoles, thats half the reason I got this and I just had a feeling I wouldn't be using it for inputs very long... but I did it anyway. It really is unbearable, 4:3 480p (aka standard TV) looks better than the HDTV inputs at 720p, 1080p, couldn't try 1080i as my stupid monitor doesn't support it for some reason and that doesn't make sense if it can do 1080p... but thats not KWORLD's fault that my monitor is dumb, so who knows maybe the 1080i is the only good looking HD mode on the box and I'm just unfourtnate?
Other Thoughts: If you want a cheap LCD TV go for it. Don't expect anything impressive let alone bearable to come out of the inputs. I'm guessing when half the people say it looks terrible, and the other half says it looks good, its just really something to think twice about before buying. If I didn't have a use for the tuner in it I would have returned it (I Like having two TV's in my bedroom without two actual TV's).

Liked it at first, now, im about to put it back in its box
This review is from: KWORLD Video Device VS-TV1440RNB VGA Interface
Pros: 1080i, 720p, 480i/p inputs to turn your lcd into a quazi hdtv. supports 1400x900, and can size a 4:3 with black bars on the sides so no distortion.
Cons: The only good input for quality is the component inputs. These allow you to produce hd signals to your lcd through the box. The only problem with mine is that i get a really strange interfernce with the component cables, wether it be ps2 or a dvd player. I noticed that if i run my dvd player at 480p, it doesn't produce AS MUCH interference and it is watachable.
Other Thoughts: Don't even think about buying this for your xbox 360. I use a VGA cable that can be bought for cheaper and hooks right into an lcd and produced the best picture possible. Out of curiousity i tried the box with 360 in 720p and 1080i, and both looked rather blurry and extremely slow response rate on 60 fps games. I know the box says great for 360 and ps3, but it really isn't.

720p,1080i on a 150 buck monitor
This review is from: KWORLD Video Device VS-TV1440RNB VGA Interface
Pros: 1)turns my Acer AL1916W 19" WS monitor into a decent HDTV
Cons: 1)no HDMI, but YPbPr looks pretty good
Other Thoughts: SD content is a bit grainy, but still very watchable. This is a great item if you have a extra WS monitor and want a small HDTV.

Can't be beat
This review is from: KWORLD Video Device VS-TV1440RNB VGA Interface
Pros: 1) My old ATI TV Wonder PCI tuner card would lag between PS2 controller presses and the action appearing on-screen. With this, there's none of that. Perhaps I could buy a more expensive tuner card instead? Not for $60 I can't.
Cons: These shouldn't keep anyone from buying this--but beware:
Other Thoughts: Anyone looking for a better TV-to-VGA device will be looking forever and paying too much for whatever they find--at present, this thing is the best.

Awesome! (updated from earlier)
This review is from: KWORLD Video Device VS-TV1440RNB VGA Interface
Pros: Very inexpensive (I already meantioned this), composite quality is great, component 1080i (still haven't tested yet), high refresh rate is a very nice feature for crt's
Cons: so-so cable in quality, refresh rate while using pip is kinda low
Other Thoughts: I first ran my Kworld box with cable-in. It was hooked up to my digital cable box. As I mentioned in my earlier review, the picture was faded and the colors weren't aligned (at least, not for me). Well, I hooked it up using composite input (also known as RCA), and the picture is fantastic. It looks about the same as my old sony wega tv (thats a good thing). Not only that, but the 75hz makes a big difference compared to a standard 60hz. In short this screen actually out performs almost any tv out there. When you sit close to the screen, the only flaw is that you can see the conpression. This is actually a plus, as that means that the display setup is so clear, it actually displays imperfections in the signal. I can't wait to go to 720 and 1080. Awesome job kworld and newegg!

It does ok,
This review is from: KWORLD Video Device VS-TV1440RNB VGA Interface
Pros: I does all that is advertised, and I'm using Pic in pic as I type this.
Cons: Bad idle Squeal,
Other Thoughts: I would suggest taking it a step up from this, allowing for better external quality, and i regret ignoring HD.

Blown Away!
This review is from: KWORLD Video Device VS-TV1440RNB VGA Interface
Pros: many features
Cons: scrolling through the menu is a little confusing but it is organized well
Other Thoughts: i am amazed by this product. i was wary of purchasing it becuase i had heard mixed things about it but it is incredible. it has so many features (picture in picture, freeze frame, timers, many settings), the quality is really good, it's simple to use, and you can hook up several different sources at once! it works great and it is so cheap considering. you must buy this
Did you find this review helpful?
This review is from: KWORLD Video Device VS-TV1440RNB VGA Interface
Pros: This does the job, and does it well. Standard cable looks as good as i could have hoped. Remember, cable is only 480i, but looks much better. Picture is great with any other video in (except maybe composite, which still looks good)
Cons: this is very picky, but when using cable, there is a very very faint whine from the speaker out, but only noticeable if there is no other sound playing.
Other Thoughts: this kind of tuner box is a great way to make use of old monitors. i just upgraded to a 22" wide from a 19", which just happens to be 1440x900, so the box supports the res perfectly

Patient Comments: Sjogren's Syndrome - Treatment and Diet
What treatment has been effective for your Sjogren's syndrome? Have you made any dietary changes, and have they been effective in managing your Sjogren's syndrome?
Comment from: Pam, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: December 14
I am 59 and was diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome 2 years ago, but have had it much longer it seems, probably 3 to 5 years thinking back to the symptoms. I also have lupus SLE (systemiclupus erythematosus), diagnosed 15 years ago now. I took Plaquenil and prednisone for the lupus at first, now I take nothing for the lupus but take Salagen for the Sjogren's and it helps greatly. I am supposed to take the Salagen 3 times daily but it creates moisture for the glands and three times daily makes my nose run too much so I only take it once. I am thinking, to make it twice daily would be good. I am also taking evening primrose oil, coconut oil and flax oil. Fish oil makes the GERD worse, but will try krill and only take on full stomach to see if I can tolerate. Also I stopped all night shade vegetables, white and yellow potatoes, eggplant; sweet potatoes are ok. It seems to help with the inflammation. I try to cut out sugar as I have issues with candida or yeast. I use stevia and try to avoid aspartame at all costs. Sometimes I use the sucralose if stevia not available.
Comment from: danaprov, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: September 21
I'm a lucky one. I got diagnosed 7 years ago with Sjogren's syndrome after a weird rash, which turned out to be autoimmune related. I had thought my eyes were just tired all the time; I'd kept water by my bed at night forever. I've struggled with digestive issues; I have arthritis and bone spurs in my hands and feet, respectively. I say I'm lucky because I found a lot of helpful information when I googled autoimmune and diet. Avoiding wheat has made a huge difference; taking fish oil and investigating other aspects of my health and eating an anti-inflammatory diet and taking certain supplements has made a huge difference. I want to encourage others to consider making changes in lifestyle and diet- there's a lot of information and support available.
Comment from: DW, Female (Patient) Published: February 20
I was diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome about 6 years ago in 2009. It started with scratched cornea, dry mouth, body aches and pain in my joints. I went to my doctor and she did blood test which came back positive ANA for rheumatoid arthritis. I was put on prednisone and that caused cataract. I had no sleep and we found out I had sleep apnea so I am on CPAP and oxygen. I am on Plaquenil 200 mg 2 times a day, fish oil, and cyclobenzaprine 10 mg. I am also taking vitamin D, and Biotin for hair, skin, and nails. I have changed my diet. I have found a shake called 310 Shake, or Isagenix shakes, and Isaflush, a cleanser for life. I eat lots of vegetables. I found that any sugar causes pain and swelling, please try no sugar, if you must use, try Stevia. Use coconut oil and coconut water. Stick to meat, fish, and eggs. No bread, pasta, crackers, or chips. Good luck to all.
Comment from: shiggie, (Patient) Published: October 02
I have had Sjogren's syndrome for 15 years including vasculitis, joint pain and dry eyes. I have been able to manage it with Plaquenil, until six months ago when I developed peripheral neuropathy in both legs and feet. My rheumatologist put me on Imuran and I had three months of continuous bladder infections, seemingly unresponsive to seven different antibiotics. I stopped taking the Imuran due to the lack of immunity for infections. Since stopping the Imuran, I developed an infection in my tooth and sinus cavity and have sore cervical lymph glands. I find if I take 1000 mg of vitamin C every day, the cervical glands are less sore. I had to have my tooth pulled and am now waiting for an implant. I take gabapentin for the neuropathy but it doesn't seem to help that much. I carry an ice bag in my purse and take one to bed with me at night, which helps more. I find myself being very irritable, although I take a small dose of Prozac, which is great coping medicine. If I can keep very busy, I don't notice all my symptoms so much and emotionally do better.
Comment from: 45-54 (Patient) Published: October 01
I have been diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome for over 20 years now. The first two were terrible, I had dry mouth and could hardly eat, joint pain, and terrible fatigue. But 20 years on, I do not take medication for it. I walk every day for 20 to 30 minutes a day. I only eat what the sun grows, except two fish meals and one meat meal per week. I do strength training as well. I push through the pain every day. I refuse to take medication. I think it does damage to my body, although I do have a flu shot and a pneumonia shot as I developed pneumonia recently and was on life support for 11 days, but came through it.

I bought this comforter for my 13 year old granddaughter. She is hard to please with a comforter and she loves this one.
This comforter is exactly as pictured. The colors are bright and vibrant. The quality appears to be very good with no flaws that I can see. It is slightly larger than I expected which is a good thing. The fabric is soft and yummy. Overall, very pleased with the purchase!
Looked really close to the picture, it is just a little darker than the picture, there is a slight pattern to the teal strip so it makes it a little darker. Other than that a very good procudt.
This comforter is exactly what I wanted. The color is just as it was pictured, the quality is good, and the feel of the fabric is luxurious!
I purchased this comforter as a Christmas present for my daughter to use at college. She loves it! The comforter is so beautiful. The picture does not do it justice for it is much prettier in person. I had purchased this for a Christmas present for my daughter in November, but UPS lost my shipment. I contacted Overstock customer care and they were helpful and wonderful. I finally received the comforter a few days before Christmas. Thanks Overstock for your wonderful customer service and a beautiful comforter!
Perfect modern set for our guest bedroom! Love the color and the chevron.
It's perfect. I love the colors! My husband also loves it. It's perfect because you can flip it over and have grey instead of blue.
The colors and pattern are exactly as pictured. The fabric is super soft and smooth to the touch. It's a light weight comforter, perfect for warmer climates or the summer months in cooler climates. The stuffing seems well distributed. The shams have hidden zippers on the grey side making it easy to put in the pillow. I sometimes buy comforters in King size even though I have a Queen bed because often the Queen size is not big enough. This is a TRUE Queen size comforter. It falls about half way down each side between the top of the bed and the floor on a standard height bed. Throw pillow is fine (exactly as pictured), nothing spectacular but I really didn't buy this set for the throw pillow. I haven't washed the set yet so I can't speak to how it holds up after a wash but so far I am very pleased with this purchase. I researched many sites that also carry this set and Overstock had the best price/shipping/reviews combination.
We ordered a bedspread, shams and a small pillow. We are happy with the quality. They look exactly like the picture online.
It was a beautiful comforter. My daughter loved it!
I like this comforter because it's so comfy to cuddle up with, soft and lightweight. Blue color is a little childishly loud, but grey side is nice. Great quality for the price.
I got it for my daughter that is 14. She loves it
I ordered this and sent it back because the blue clashed with my daughters painted blue room. However, it is very beautiful and I wish we could have kept it. Overstock is excellent with returnig items and they stand behind their no hassle guarantee.
This comforter is just what I needed to add a pop of color to my room!
This comforter is beautiful! The quality of the material is great. The colors are very vibrant and brighten up my bedroom well. I am very happy with this product.
My daughter loved her bedding .. It is soft and. Very colorful
My daughter loved this. colors are vibrant. This is a light comforter.
Very nice comforter set. Love the color and like that is is reversible. Ordered two other sets in different colors.
It is so soft and so colorful! It's perfect!
My daughter loves it and it's been washed over and over and the colors are still vibrant

Choosing the Right Trip
We work hard to help you choose the right trip for you, paying attention to your individual interests, abilities, and needs. If you have questions about the level of comfort or any of the activities described in this itinerary, please contact us.
We are proud to have an exceptionally high rate of repeat travelers. For more information, we would be happy to put you in touch with a client who has traveled with us.
Few places in the world are as spectacular as Ladakh, a moonscape of jagged peaks and cloud-swept monasteries high atop the Tibetan Plateau. On our extraordinary cultural adventure, you'll hike among serene villages under a cobalt-blue sky, cross the highest road in the world, and experience festivals where Ladakhi women often wear exquisite turquoise headdresses and the air is filled with the sounds of dung-chens (long trumpets) and clashing cymbals. You'll also explore the spellbinding Shyok and Nubra Valleys, enchanting visions from the Silk Road days. In this realm of Bactrian camels and sand dunes below snow-dusted mountains, we'll climb to the lookout atop the massive Buddha statue at Diskit Gompa to watch a golden sunset.

Days 1-4
Delhi / Leh / Hemis / Thikse (Lamayuru Festival Departure)
In Delhi, we have an unforgettable visit to Gandhi's last home, then take a spectacular flight across the Himalaya to the historic trading post of Leh (11,500'). Caravans once rested here on the arduous mountain crossing to Yarkand, and we'll explore the bazaar that still has a distinctly Central Asian ambiance, with its mix of people from different regions—elderly Ladakhi women, farmers from the Nubra Valley, Tibetan and Kashmiri shopkeepers, schoolchildren, and red-robed monks from Zanskar. We'll also explore the Indus Valley's striking monasteries, including Hemis and Thikse.
Days 5-7
Indus River Valley / Alchi / Lamayuru
After seeing the treasure trove of rare Buddhist frescoes at ancient Alchi, we head to Tingmosgang, where our guesthouse, set amid apricot and apple trees, grants us an incredible glimpse into traditional Ladakhi village life. We take tea with the monks at cliff-perched Lamayuru, in a setting of rugged cliffs and rock spires, and witness the vibrant Yuru Kab-gya Festival, where elaborate masked dances celebrate the triumph of good over evil.
Days 8-12
Nubra Valley
Crossing the Khardung La (18,300'), for centuries a trade route for spices, pashmina shawls, opium, and saffron, we descend into the once-forbidden Shyok and Nubra Valleys where our hikes lead along the valley floor. You'll have the chance to ride a Bactrian camel and visit tranquil villages, including Diskit, with its 700-year-old gompa and huge statue of Maitreya Buddha that gazes serenely over the vast valley. Depart on Day 12 via Delhi.

What the Trip is Like
This trip is Level 3+, Moderate. It is an adventurous overland journey with accommodations ranging from very comfortable hotels to a basic lodge in the Nubra Valley Our activities center on exploring cultural sites. Road travel on some days is long. In general, you should be fit and be able to be on your feet 4 to 6 hours a day on this journey. Our walks and hikes are moderate, suitable for people in good shape who enjoy the mountains. The exploration of the monasteries and day hikes will involve some up and down walking, which at altitudes can feel strenuous. For your own enjoyment, we recommend that you make a special effort to be in good physical condition. Daily brisk walking is an excellent preparatory exercise.
While in Ladakh, we will be at altitudes between 10,000 and 15,000 feet. Individuals vary widely in both their physical response to high altitude. It is not uncommon to experience mild headaches or sleeplessness for a day or two when you first arrive at high altitude. Most people gradually adjust within a few days. Your body can adapt to altitude if given time. We feel this itinerary provides that option, but you must pace yourself to go slowly and drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

After Fits and Starts, New Hope for Psoriasis Patients
HealthDay Reporter
Latest Skin News
MONDAY, Aug. 25 (HealthDay News) — Psoriasis can be a maddening disease.
Patches of thick, inflamed skin covered with silvery scales form here and there on the patient's body, often on the elbows, knees, other parts of the legs, scalp, lower back, face, palms, and soles of the feet. They usually itch or feel sore, and the more of the patches there are, generally, the worse the person suffers.
And because psoriasis is a genetic condition that causes inflammation by striking at the immune system, it can have other health effects. An estimated 10 percent to 30 percent of people with psoriasis also develop psoriatic arthritis, which causes pain, stiffness and swelling in and around the joints, according to the National Psoriasis Foundation.
Psoriasis sufferers also have higher rates of cardiovascular disease and other systemic health problems, said Dr. Jennifer Cather, a Dallas dermatologist and a member of the Baylor University Medical Center's Division of Dermatology.
"Often patients think psoriasis is just a rash, [but] it is a systemic inflammatory disease with far-reaching affects," Cather said. "Patients should be aware of that and understand that controlling that systemic inflammation can help with other diseases."
That's a message doctors are looking to share during August, Psoriasis Awareness Month.
Until recently, there was little that could be done about the systemic damage done by psoriasis. Sufferers used topical creams to ease their itches or aches, or underwent expensive ultraviolet light treatments that disrupted the surface spread of psoriasis but did not address the underlying problems within the immune system.
But the past few years have seen the development of a new wave of drug treatments known as biologics. These medications do what previous treatments could not — go after the root of the problem by influencing the immune system.
"It's really changed the way we can treat psoriasis," said Dr. Lawrence Green, assistant professor of dermatology at George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. "It really has made life much more tolerable for patients."
Psoriasis occurs when the body's immune system is somehow mistakenly triggered, which speeds up the growth cycle of skin cells, according to the National Psoriasis Foundation. Normal skin cells mature and fall off the body in 28 to 30 days. A psoriatic skin cell takes just three to four days to mature and move to the surface, and, instead of falling off, the cells pile up and form lesions.
According to the National Institutes of Health, as many as 7.5 million Americans have psoriasis.
Biologics are made from human or animal proteins, and they treat psoriasis by going after the overactive immune cells causing the disease.
"They are based on natural processes," Green said. "They're similar to chemicals or compounds we already have in our system. They help lessen immune responses. They help soak up or diminish the extra inflammatory compounds."
Currently, five biologics are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treatment of psoriasis, and three of those five are approved for psoriatic arthritis. Biologics are effective, and they also are more affordable than ultraviolet therapy, the other leading treatment for dealing with medium-to-severe cases of psoriasis, according to dermatologists.
Ultraviolet light kills the immune cells in the skin that are causing the problem, Cather said. The problem is, a person must come in three to five times a week for treatment, racking up hundreds of dollars in co-payments.
Biologics, by comparison, are self-administered through injection. The patient usually must inject the medication somewhere between twice-weekly to once every other week, Cather said.
Patients undergoing biologic therapy need to have periodic re-evaluations by their dermatologist to check for the development of new symptoms, including infections and potential cancers, according to guidelines issued earlier this year by the American Academy of Dermatology.

Two Pro Bowl linemen — tackle Henry Melton, end Julius Peppers — and all but one member of the Bears defensive line were unable to seriously threaten Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and an offensive line that ranked 25th in the NFL last season in sack rate and 20th in rushing average.
Now that defensive line is tasked with stopping the NFL's MVP and one of the best running backs in the game's history. "Challenge" is something of an understatement.
The Minnesota Vikings live on their ability to get Adrian Peterson to the second level, getting to and through a front four with momentum. Peterson is listed at 217 pounds but is beyond most one-man tackles, particularly if he is unimpeded for several steps after taking a handoff from quarterback Christian Ponder.
The Bears operate from a base 4-3 using a simple one-gap philosophy: getting to and through gaps. No penetration or wrong gap and the result can be catastrophic with a runner like Peterson with his ability to cut back and find mistakes.
[MORE: Viewer's Guide: Using more receivers makes Bears dangerous]
"The biggest thing is just playing disciplined, gap-to-gap football, and that's what we have to do to stop him and rally to the ball because obviously he's a powerful guy, shifty as well," said defensive end Corey Wootton. "He's a combination of everything, so you have to 'population tackle' him."
The standard formula of stop-the-run-rush-the-passer applies to the Vikings, but it doesn't necessarily assure success. Ponder needed to throw just 17 passes, completing 11 with one intercepted, in the Vikings' home win over the Bears last Dec. 9.
"The running game is going to be huge, but we also have to get pressure on the quarterback, and we know that," said defensive coordinator Mel Tucker. "That's been a big point of emphasis already this week. We've got to generate the pass rush with four. It's going to be something we're really going to work on this week."
[RELATED: Viewer's Guide: Bears can improve on zero sacks]
The Matchup: Bears DE Julius Peppers vs. Vikings LT Matt Kalil
Peppers did not have a dominant game against a quick-release passing scheme of the Bengals and a backup left tackle in Anthony Collins. Kalil was an instant success, a day-one starter at left tackle after coming out of USC as the No. 2 pick of the 2012 draft.
Kalil did not have an especially good preseason, and Peppers was dealing with a hamstring strain suffered during the Soldier Field night practice.
The Bears need a dominant Peppers. The Vikings need their franchise left tackle to play like one.

comparison of biopolymers, commonly DNA and protein sequences
Wise2 is a package focused on comparisons of biopolymers, commonly DNA and protein sequences. There are many other packages which do this, probably the best known being BLAST package (from NCBI) and the Fasta package (from Bill Pearson). There are other packages, such as the HMMER package (Sean Eddy) or SAM package (UC Santa Cruz) focused on hidden Markov models (HMMs) of biopolymers.
Wise2's particular forte is the comparison of DNA sequence at the level of its protein translation. This comparison allows the simultaneous prediction of say gene structure with homology based alignment.
Wise2 also contains other algorithms, such as the venerable Smith-Waterman algorithm, or more modern ones such as Stephen Altschul's generalised gap penalties, or even experimental ones developed in house, such as dba. The development of these algorithms is due to the ease of developing such algorithms in the environment used by Wise2.
Wise2 has also been written with an eye for reuse and maintainability. Although it is a pure C package you can access its functionality directly in Perl. Parts of the package (or the entire package) can be used by other C or C++ programs without namespace clashes as all externally linked variables have the unique identifier Wise2 prepended.
