REVIEW: 'Morning Glory'
2 stars
Comedy from the director of Notting Hill, about a hard-working TV producer (Rachel McAdams) who tries to revitalise her show by bringing on a cantankerous, old-school anchor (Harrison Ford). Also stars Diane Keaton. Now playing nationwide. Click here for session info.
Not to come off like the curmudgeonly newsman Harrison Ford plays here, but Morning Glory is the most lightweight take on serious topics for some time. The film circles the debate between news and entertainment without ever quite making a point; hints at modern career-women's struggles with work/life balance but doesn't suggest solutions beyond sex and haircuts; and makes matters worse by only spending as much time on Anchorman-like insults, hurled between news anchors, as it does on slow-mo shots of Rachel McAdams running in heels.
That's not to suggest there were any expectations of hard-hitting stuff here, and these gripes would have been sidelined if Morning Glory held up its end with laughs, love, or perhaps even a plot. Sadly, there's nothing here we haven't seen done better before; the flick not helping Ford's possibly terminal career slump and even managing to drain the appeal out of McAdams. Only Diane Keaton comes across as well-cast – though proof Jeff Goldblum lives is appreciated. Something's just a bit off about the whole enterprise – not very surprising given the film's delays and three credited editors (suggesting a fair bit of tinkering to get this in shape).
The film lurches from one scene to another without ever making much of an impression and, worst of all, takes about an hour to get Ford where we want him, grumpily on the telly beside Keaton. Never satisfactorily exploring its comedic or dramatic possibilities, Morning Glory is as insubstantial as the telly it tries to make fun of.

BRUNSWICK — Nothing seemed to slow down Brunswick's boys soccer team Saturday afternoon.
Despite a torrential downpour for most of their non-league game with Willoughby South, the Blue Devils looked like a team on a mission en route to an impressive 6-0 victory at Judy Kirsch Stadium.
After losing three straight games, which included a 4-0 setback to Shaker Heights earlier in the week, Brunswick (7-4-3) bounced back in a big way.
"They lost sight a little bit of having fun as a group, and I think they put way too much pressure on themselves for a little bit," Blue Devils coach Ben Dotson said. "There was too much negative energy, and we took a couple days to reflect and have some fun and it showed.
"They actually enjoyed playing today and got back to knocking the ball around. Some of the goals were scored tonight were very, very good soccer goals."
Indeed they were, as they strung together a consistent attack that peppered the Rebels (4-10-1) with 24 shots, 14 of which were on goal.
After a Jesse Marinaro goal to open the game, the Blue Devils broke it open in a span of 12 minutes at the end of the half with goals from Micahel Zorij, Marinaro and Jake Simonelli.
"We're were just playing the ball good and playing simple, passing it around," said Zorij, who also assisted on Simonelli's goal. "We're finally getting back together as a team, like we used to in the beginning of the season. We stopped doing that for a couple of games, but we're back at it now."
Zorij is one of a handful of Brunswick players that has been sidelined due to injury, as he's played in a handful of games due to a broken collarbone. On Saturday, the Blue Devils returned to full strength as defender Dylan Castro returned from a concussion.
"It was nice having everyone back," Dotson said. "I looked down at my bench and I can actually do what I wanted to do. It brought some balance to the attack because the last couple of games everyone has been keying in on Jesse, and now with Michael being such a threat, they have to respect two players. It's nice to watch us be so balanced on both sides of the field."
Luke Steinkemp netted his first career goal off a feed from Rohan Srivastava minutes into the second half. It was followed by Marinaro's third score of the night — and his Medina County-leading 17th of the season — with 1:45 left.
Combine the consistent attack with a defense that allowed just six shots from South — five were stopped by freshman goalkeeper Gavin Leindecker and one by Kyle Hotz — and Dotson was pleased with the effort.
"Three of the goals were absolutely dynamite from playing quickly," Dotson said. "It was unselfish play through the middle, get the ball moving and then being dangerous. They were good, solid runs that came from being unselfish. It was a fantastic attitude and work rate."
Despite free admission, a little more than 100 fans attended the game on community day due to the inclement weather.
• Leindecker was issued a yellow card for touching the ball outside the box late in the second, forcing the goalie to be taken out. Hotz, a reserve forward, filled in and recorded a save on a shot from Don Martin before Leindecker returned.
• The junior varsity game was stopped nine minutes in because of lightening in the area and was not restarted.

Denver Graphic Designer, Adrian Volz, has always considered himself to be an artist and creative thinker. He was born with an eye for artistic and design appreciation. Because graphic design just seemed like a natural fit, Adrian entered a ski pass cover contest in 5th grade. With such great feedback, it was recommended he look into a career as a graphic designer. He has since developed a "graphic" style with illustration work and typography. When college came around, he aspired to look into a career that implemented graphic art, color, typography, structure and theory, and chose to further study graphic design at Pratt Institute. I caught up with Adrian to learn more.
Q: What makes you different than others in the industry?
A: Artists, designers, and architects take pride in their individual aesthetic preferences and artistic processes. Perhaps my greatest strength is my aspiration to become a "total designer." I admire every form of visual art and seek to utilize a variety of media. My architectural background has instilled in me a unique sensitivity to scale, line, and design. Drawing, painting and printmaking are part of my daily routine. A good balance of computer and hand-generated techniques is critical in order to understand art's present and future potential as a means of communication. A "total designer" recognizes his or her role in society and must be intimately acquainted with the times in order to visualize them accurately.
Q: What project are you most proud of?
A: The Daily Poster Project has been my most demanding design challenge. It tested my creativity and endurance as a designer. Last year, I worked for an architecture firm in San Francisco and benefited from the city's ever-changing inspiration. The series received national recognition from 'The Denver Egotist' and 'HOW Magazine.'
Q: What is the biggest challenge in the business? And biggest reward?
A: Graphic design is a challenging field for many reasons: it is detail-oriented, fast-paced, and requires the designer's ability to translate a client's communication needs into pictures. Due to the consequences of the Internet age, graphic design's role in society has increased. Distinguishing oneself from the crowd is one of the most challenging aspects for graphic designers of today. When you dare to do something different in the design world, you receive a profound sense of satisfaction.
Q: What do you most love about Colorado?
A: I grew up in Denver, Colorado and have always felt an affinity for the place. There is so much to do and see. It is also an ideal base for an artist or designer because of the surrounding natural beauty. The landscape is a mesmerizing zone of contrasts: light and shadow, trees, mountains, grasses, and wildlife. Furthermore, Denver and Boulder's art and design scene has really taken off over the past decade due to the many museums, galleries, and design districts.
Q: What is something readers would be surprised to know about you or your business?
A: One factor that makes my work unique is my preference for a monochrome black-and-white palette. However, as a "total designer" I challenge myself to explore new combinations. I enjoy experimenting with color and making it central to select projects, like my Daily Poster Project. I love jazz music and play the saxophone and piano. I am just as experimental with music as I am with visual art. Some say that I can even pass for Sinatra!

- Full-day shore excursion from Ashdod Port to Jerusalem and the Dead Sea
- Visit the Mount of Olives and explore the different quarters that comprise Jerusalem's Old City
- See much-revered Jerusalem attractions including the Western Wall, Via Dolorosa and the Muslim bazaar
- Travel through the Judean Desert to the northern shores of the Dead Sea
- Float in the Dead Sea waters and bathe in therapeutic mud at leisure
- Covered by Viator's worry-free policy: guaranteed on-time return to your ship
What You Can Expect
Stretch your legs on a walk, ambling along the old Byzantine main road, and stop to admire the Western Wall, nicknamed the 'wailing wall' after the worshipers who use it as an open-air synagogue. Soak up the atmosphere and continue through the Jewish quarter to the Christian quarter for a walk along the Via Dolorosa. The road was once an important pilgrimage route for Christian visitors, believed to mark the way to the site of Jesus' crucifixion at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Enjoy a break for lunch (own expense), and then wander away from the Christian quarter to check out the Muslim bazaar, a bustling place where Hebron glass and Armenian pottery knickknacks are sold alongside spices and coffee. Browse the stalls with your guide, and then leave Jerusalem for your journey through the Judean Desert to the Dead Sea – roughly an hour away.
Stop at the northern coast, and head inside one of the Dead Sea resorts to swim and float in the mineral-rich waters at leisure. Marking the lowest point on the face of the Earth, the impressive stretch of water is fed by a collection of incoming rivers that gush in to its land-locked shores. As the waters have nowhere to flow on to, they evaporate and leave behind a rich concentration of natural salt that attributes to the Dead Sea's famous buoyancy.
After floating on the water and enjoying the therapeutic mud, meet your guide and return to Ashdod Port where your day trip finishes.
Worry-free Shore Excursion:
We will ensure your timely return to Ashod Port for this activity. In the rare event your ship has departed, we will arrange for transportation to the next port-of call. If your ship is delayed and you are unable to attend this activity, your money will be refunded. See our terms and conditions for full details.

Adding to the ridiculous popularity Minecraft has generated since its inception is Minecraft Pocket Edition, which has sold more than 21 million copies to date. If the millions of parodies, Let's Play videos, and gameplay footage on YouTube is any indication, it's safe to say it's become a worldwide hit, and this is a milestone worth celebrating. Developer Jens Bergensen tweeted the news today, and in celebration of this milestone will be hosting a live panel from the Mojang office on Monday, April 14.
The Q&A panel will play out much like an "Ask Me Anything" thread on Reddit, with a dedicated Reddit thread for fans to post their questions so that Mojang staff can choose the best and deliver some answers. There's no official time or location for the live stream as of yet, but Mojang urges fans to keep up to date via their website.
If there's a burning question you've always wanted answered, this could be your chance! Given the fact that Mojang usually takes the opportunity to be candid and open with their adoring fans, you might even be able to unearth some meaty tidbits. We'll update the story with more information as it arises, such as a date for the talk or even some of our favorite Reddit questions -- those are always a goldmine.

I am trying to run my Selenium tests against Chrome. When I initialize driver locally:
@driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for( :chrome )
Everything works fine (I already put Chrome binary on my PATH) But when I try to launch it remotely:
@driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:remote, :url => 'http://' + SELENIUM_HOST + port + webdriver_hub, :desired_capabilities => :chrome)
I get the following error
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnhandledError: The path to the chromedriver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property; for more information, see http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver. The latest version can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/chromium/downloads/list (java.lang.IllegalStateException)
I am a bit confused there - how exactly should I set this system property? I found this code written in Java:
DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
caps.setCapability("chrome.binary", "/path/to/where/chrome/is/installed/chrome.exe");
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(caps);
but my tests are written in Ruby. RubyBindings don't talk about this issue http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/RubyBindings

"Our motivation was that scholarships allowed me to attend college," said Doc Mueller, who was born and raised on a small farm in Kansas. "It is an appropriate way to repay the opportunities that were given to me because I had a degree."
Mueller joined the campus faculty in 1998 and teaches upper-level courses in electro-mechanical engineering and lower-level courses in computer engineering technology. The EMET degree program emphasizes all fields of engineering technology related to typical, highly-automated manufacturing, production, or assembly plant processes. He holds a doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and earned a bachelor's degree from Wichita State University in Kansas.
Prior to Penn State New Kensington, Mueller spent more than 30 years in the private industry working with industrial control systems. A registered professional engineer in Pennsylvania, he is a consultant regarding industrial automation and serves as an expert witness in product liability and wrongful death lawsuits. He served for 21 years in the military and retired as a colonel from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Mueller is a member of the American Society of Engineering Educators and the American Society of Military Engineers, as well as a senior grade member of the Instrumentation, Systems and Automation Society and the Institute of Electrical Engineers. His consulting firm, Industrial Automation and Control Inc., provides engineering solutions for control system problems. The company is located in the Westmoreland County Business and Research Park on Pennsylvania State Route 780, about four miles from campus.
Linda Mueller is founder and president of a personal care home in Butler, Pa. The 40-bed facility serves disabled veterans. Her association with the campus goes back to her student days. After becoming a registered nurse, she enrolled in the new bachelor's degree in nursing program. She was a member of Penn State New Kensington's first class of nursing graduates.
The Freeport, Pa., residents are longtime Penn State donors and have advocated for other campus scholarships and programs. They sponsor the annual Chancellor's Gala that raises funds for the Advisory Board's Trustee Scholarship, and they support the Faculty Speaker Series, a biannual lecture and discussion program that is geared to the local community. Doc Mueller received a teaching award in 2010. In keeping with his support of engineering students, he donated the award money to the Bernard and Geraldine Guss Endowed Scholarship. Bernie Guss, professor emeritus of engineering, established the scholarship in 2001 for local students majoring in engineering technology at the campus.
In addition to his academic responsibilities and philanthropic generosity, Doc Mueller co-chairs the campus' Faculty/Staff Campaign for the University's current $2 billion fundraising effort, For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students. The campus is responsible for raising $3 million of the total and is on track to reach its goal. With two and a half years remaining in the campaign, the campus has already hit the $2 million mark, which is 66 percent of its total.
The campus offers a two engineering degrees --a bachelor's in electro-mechanical engineering, (http://www.nk.psu.edu/Academics/Degrees/39807.htm); and an associate's degree in biomedical engineering technology (http://www.nk.psu.edu/Academics/Degrees/bet.html).

Did You Know?Baz Luhrmann's opulent outing in last summer's The Great Gatsby is probably the only interaction that most youngsters had with this literary classic. While the merits of the movie can be dissected another day, the real hero of this story remains Fitzgerald's unfettered and sublime prose. Delicate, heart-wrenching, and vividly honest to the core, the narrative of the novel is its soul. Fitzgerald weaved a wonderful tale of heartbreak against the backdrop of the Roaring Twenties―a time when priorities bent towards the practical, and wealth always scored over love.
F. Scott Fitzgerald began working on this concept in 1923, but discarded much of his earlier material, which made its way into one of his short stories. Also, even though Gatsby is considered to be a quintessential American story, Fitzgerald wrote it while he was living in France.
F. Scott Fitzgerald began working on this concept in 1923, but discarded much of his earlier material, which made its way into one of his short stories. Also, even though Gatsby is considered to be a quintessential American story, Fitzgerald wrote it while he was living in France.
The novel's narrator, Nick Carraway is a young man from Minnesota goes to New York to build his life, after being educated at Yale and fighting in World War I. Nick is Daisy Buchanan's cousin, and is instrumental in rekindling the romance between her and Jay Gatsby. The Great Gatsby is told entirely through Nick's eyes; his thoughts and perceptions mold and paint the story.
Quotes from The Great Gatsby
Nick Carraway
"I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth."
"When I came back from the East last autumn I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart. Only Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from my reaction―Gatsby, who represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn."
"He hadn't once ceased looking at Daisy, and I think he revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes. Sometimes, too, he stared around at his possessions in a dazed way, as though in her actual and astounding presence none of it was any longer real. Once he nearly toppled down a flight of stairs."
"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer."
"There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy, and the tired."
"I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life."
"In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.
"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
"It's a great advantage not to drink among hard drinking people. You can hold your tongue, and, moreover, you can time any little irregularity of your own so that everybody else is so blind that they don't see or care."
"So we drove on toward death through the cooling twilight."
"His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy's white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning-fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed like a flower and the incarnation was complete."
"Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known."
"The exhilarating ripple of her voice was a wild tonic in the rain."
"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter―tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning―So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
"For a moment the last sunshine fell with romantic affection upon her glowing face; her voice compelled me forward breathlessly as I listened - then the glow faded, each light deserting her with lingering regret, like children leaving a pleasant street at dusk."
"The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world."
"His dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him."
"A stirring warmth flowed from her, as if her heart was trying to come out to you concealed in one of those breathless, thrilling words."
"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy―they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."
"Dishonesty in a woman is a thing you never blame deeply."
Daisy Buchanan
"I hope she'll be a fool―that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."
"Ah," she cried, "you look so cool."
Their eyes met, and they stared together at each other, alone in space. With an effort she glanced down at the table.
You always look so cool," she repeated.
Their eyes met, and they stared together at each other, alone in space. With an effort she glanced down at the table.
You always look so cool," she repeated.
"Do you ever wait for the longest day of the year and then miss it? I always wait for the longest day of the year and then miss it!"
"It makes me sad because I've never seen such―such beautiful shirts before."
Jordan Baker
"And I like large parties. They're so intimate. At small parties there isn't any privacy."
"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."
"They'll keep out of my way," she insisted. "It takes two to make an accident."
Meyer Wolfsheim
"Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead."
The Owl-Eyed Man
"I've been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library."
Jay Gatsby
"And what's more, I love Daisy too. Once in a while I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love her all the time."
If Baz Luhrmann's Gatsby is the only one you're acquainted with, these words should have provided enough juice to reach out for Fitzgerald's original―read it and be mesmerized.

In 1970 San Francisco firefighter Cecil De Loach and his wife Christine staked their claim in the wine grape business by purchasing 24 acres of old-vine zinfandel in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. With their first earnings, they bought more land and planted vines along Olivet Road.
They watched others make notable wine from their grapes until producing wine under their own De Loach label in 1975. 30 years later Cecil and Christine sold that brand, and continue their winegrowing skills at their new family winery employing a simple philosophy: craft small amounts of exceptional hand-made wines, from the highest quality grapes, that people love to drink.
On 375 acres situated in the Russian River Valley, their vineyards produce cool climate grapes widely recognized as some of the finest in the world. Building on the knowledge and experience of local pioneering 1800's zinfandel winegrowers, they have matched the soil and climate of each parcel with the varietal most likely to achieve its full potential.

Today, in addition to zinfandel, they produce top-rated chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, gewurztraminer, white-zinfandel, and a red blend called "The Tillerman."

The WWF, World Wide Fund for Nature, compiled a list of some of the ten most threatened rivers in the world. Based on the results of international assessments, the WWF based their list on six of the most significant threats to rivers: dams and infrastructure, excessive water extraction, climate change, invasive species, over-fishing, and pollution. They singled out rivers that are either already suffering the most as a result of any or all of these threats or are in line to be heavily impacted:
Here's the top 5 rivers in that list of most threatened rivers as summarised by ENN
1. Salween — Nu
Dams are the biggest threat here .The Chinese plan to build 13 hydropower stations along the main stem.
The river basin is the second largest in Southeast Asia and runs, starting along the Southwest edge of China, from the northern edge of India, past Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand, eventually spilling into the Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean. According to the WWF, 6 million people depend on the Salween to make a living and find sources of protein and nutrient rich food.
2. Danube
The Danube has river beds in more countries than any other river in the world. It crosses from Germany and touches Albania, Austria, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Slovakia, Switzerland and Ukraine. It is a source for fishing, agriculture, industry, transportation and power generation for many of these countries. It is home to seven species of fish that have never been seen anywhere else in the world. The Danube is now threatened by alterations to its natural water flow and habitat due to navigation infrastructure projects, pollution and invasive species.
3. La Plata
The La Plata crosses Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia and is the second largest river in South America. The river is home to over 350 species of fish and contributes to the largest freshwater wetland in the world, the La Plata Pantanal wetlands. The wetlands are home to 650 bird species, 1,600 species of flowering plants, and more than 80 species of mammals, including jaguars, tapirs and ocelots. The most imminent threat to the La Plata is the construction of dams and navigation infrastructure. The area has already experienced major flooding after the construction of the Itaipu Dam, which is the largest in the world, and, according to WWF, there are plans for 27 more dams.
4. Rio Grande — Rio Bravo
The Rio Grande is the second longest river in the United States. It runs from the mountains of Colorado, to New Mexico, and then along the border of Texas and Mexico, eventually spilling out into the Gulf of Mexico. The key economic activity associated with the river is agriculture, with water supplies used for farming, dairies and livestock. Right now the river is in a dire threat of disruption by water infrastructure, such as dams and water extraction, salinization, and invasive species.
5. Ganges
The Ganges river flows from the Himalayas, through Nepal, India, China, and Bangladesh,and then into the Bay of Bengal. It is home to 140 species of fish, 90 species of amphibians, and creates a habitat for birds found nowhere else in the world. The major threat to the Ganges is water withdrawal. Barrages in India extract and control the flow of the river, and there are already 14 more dams proposed to be built along the river as of 2004.

Emerging evidence suggests human amnion tissue as a valuable source of two distinct types of pluripotent cells, amnion epithelial cells (hAECs) and mesenchymal stromal cells (hAMSCs), for applications in cell replacement therapy. For some approaches, it may be necessary to culture and differentiate these cells before they can be transplanted. No systematic attempt has been yet made to determine the quantity and quality of amnion cells after isolation and culture. We looked at amnion cell isolates from 27 term placentas. Following our optimized protocol, primary yields were 6.3 x 10(6) hAECs and 1.7 x 10(6) hAMSCs per gram amnion. All 27 cases gave vital cultures of hAMSCs, while one third of cases (9 of 27) failed to give adherent cultures of hAECs. Primary cultures contained significantly more proliferating than apoptotic cells (hAECs: 16.4% vs. 4.0%; hAMSCs: 9.5% vs. 2.4%). Neither hAECs nor hAMSCs were clonogenic. They showed slow proliferation that almost stopped beyond passage 5. Microscopic follow-up revealed that hAEC morphology gradually changed towards mesenchymal phenotype over several passages. Flow cytometric characterization of primary cultures showed expression of mesenchymal progenitor markers CD73, CD90, CD105, and CD166, as well as the embryonic stem cell markers SSEA-3 and -4 on both amnion cell types. These profiles were grossly maintained in secondary cultures. Reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis exhibited transcripts of Oct-3/4 and stem cell factor in primary and secondary cultures of all cases, but no telomerase reverse transcriptase. Immunocytochemistry confirmed translation into Oct-3/4 protein in part of hAEC cultures, but not in hAMSCs. Further, both amnion cell types stained for CD90 and SSEA-4. Osteogenic induction studies with amnion cells from four cases showed significantly stronger differentiation of hAECs than hAMSCs; this capacity to differentiate greatly varied between cases. In conclusion, hAECs and hAMSCs in culture exhibit and maintain a similar marker profile of mesenchymal progenitors. hAECs were found as a less reliable source than hAMSCs and altered morphology during subculture.

Hawaii is always a great place to visit especially if you want to escape the summer desert heat of Arizona. Yeah! Cool trade winds and temperatures never lower than 76 or higher than 82, plus palm trees swaying in the breeze, ocean waves breaking over the beach, friendly people, ect..
Welcome to Molokai. this is what Hawaii probably was like in 1950. No fast food joints, no big box chain stores, no high rise tourist hotels and no crowded beaches or traffic jams. Kaunakakai town located on the south shore about in the middle of the island is the largest town with one main street where only one building is newer than probably 1940 and no stoplights. there are two gas stations (unleaded gas =$5.65/gal.), a bakery, two small grocery stores, a liquor store, a library, a pizza place (very good) and with AC, a couple other lunch counters, some empty stores and a few small shops and the Paddlers Inn where you can get a great hamburger and wet your whistle and occasionally hear live music. There is also a very long wharf where you can charter a diving or snorkeling trip to the reef which is just offshore and stretches almost all the way along the southern shore, or catch the twice a day ferry to Maui. Maui is visible across the channel and so is Lanai and another small island further away and seen between these two. Kaunakakai has a large residential section stretching inland and up the hillsides and both directions along the coast. There are some really nice homes and a few not so nice but mostly the houses are what you would see in any middle class neighborhood in any rural stateside town. Saturday the town comes alive with the local farmers market.
Molokai has a few major paved roads. 460 heads west from Kaunakakai, goes past church row where about a dozen churches are lined up ( seven are the old small missionary type), then you pass the old royal coconut grove where about a thousand coconut palms sway in the wind. This grove was planted way back in 1860. Some attempt has been made to keep the trees trimmed but is still needs more TLC. Continue west on 460 and there will be a sign post for the cemetery. If you had the foresight to rent a four-wheel drive you can drive about ten miles up this dirt road to the Waikolu overlook. We didn't have that foresight and missed that drive but I understand you can see the rugged northern shore and the sea cliffs from the overlook. Next time! Past the overlook is the Kamakou nature preserve where you can hike through the rainforest and see some native birds and plants. I should mention here that Molokai like the rest of the islands got invaded by all kinds of plant species after people started coming here and a lot of what you see growing here now wasn't here 500 years ago. Mesquite is a prime example. Animals like the axis deer and the indian mongoose, not to mention rats, pigs, chickens and goats and turkeys spread all over and went feral. Hunting season on deer, pigs and goats is open every weekend. The deer are so plentiful that the fish and game shoot them from aircraft to help control the population.
OK, back down to road 460. Head west a bit more and the 470 road branches off to the north. This takes you to the coffee plantation. Stop in for a cup and browse through the gift shop. They used to offer tours but now they will let you wander around on your own. Tuesday mornings ( check on this) a local group gets together here under the patio cover and plays traditional Hawaiian music. Twenty ukuleles and one guitar sound really good. Then a few of them sing some songs, then the hulu girls perform. These hula dancers ranged from 6 to 16 and all of their names started with a K. You can go west from the coffee plantation on road 480 which takes you to Hoolehua which is a little farming town with a big high school. In back of the high school is where the Macadamia Nut farm is. They offer tours but not every day. If you keep going west on 480 you run into dirt roads and small farms.
Now back to the coffee plantation. If you head north on road 470 (still paved) you will get to the overlook and the end of the road. this is where you can take the mule ride down the cliff to the Kalaupapa Peninsula. Or you can just look at it from the overlook. Really beautiful place except this is the site of the old leper colony. Now it is a national historical park. As long as you are here you should take the short hike from the overlook parking lot to Phallic Rock. It is what you think except I think it looks more like a turtle. Since this is the end of the road you need to turn around and go back down the road to road 460. Turn west again and you go right by the airport. Just past the airport a road heads south to Kuma Farms. Papaya season was in full swing (August), Mango season was over. They also had some local grown vegges and apple bananas and passion fruit, (my favorite).
This about takes care of the middle part of Molokai. Keep heading west to Maunaloa town and the west beaches on 460. Stay tuned for Part 2. Aloha.

Goliath vs. Goliath
It's been way too long since I updated this blog, but in part it is because of exactly what I am about to say. Last week, the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series, and I'll admit that I hardly watched any of it. Was it because my beloved Twins were knocked off by the hated Yanks? Partially, I will admit. But I think the real reason is just because of how depressing it was to see the "haves" of baseball continue to lay the unrequited smackdown on the "have nots". This line of thinking was epitomized by the Game One starting pitching matchup:
The Yankees opened the Series with burly lefthander C.C. Sabathia, who had pretty much dominated any opponent sent to face him all season long. Just two seasons previous (2007), though, old cap-tipping C.C. (the Yanks must have straightened that out along with Jason Giambi's mustache, Randy Johnson's dangly hair, and Johnny Damon's Jesus-mane) had been the star of Cleveland, winning the AL Cy Young award.
Sabathia's mound opponent in Game One was Cliff Lee:
Much like C.C., Lee had lead his Phillies with dominating performance after dominating performance down the stretch the throughout the playoffs. But, again like Sabathia, just one year previous Lee won the AL Cy Young while in Cleveland.
So, while most baseball fans may have just seen a great pitching matchup, I saw what is wrong with the very fabric of what was once America's Pastime (much more on that topic in my next post). Instead of a level playing field, some teams are given advantages (based no more than upon the geographic territory they happen to inhabit) that allow them to dominate the lesser opponents. I mean, just imagine how Cleveland fans must have been feeling while watching that Game One? It would probably be like how you and I (Twins fans) would feel should the Mets ever stop sucking and Johan Santana gets the chance to shine in the postseason. It is a very helpless feeling, and one that completely turned me off to the rest of the Series.
About the only excitement I got out of it was watching old Pedro Martinez turn back the clock one more (last?) time against the team he will be forever paired with:
Other than that, I don't have much interest in watching teams steal young talent from around the league and then calling it "high drama" when they invetabily meet in the biggest of games. I can't begrudge the fans of either team, as I guess I can't blame them for their economic advantages, but I personally find it very disheartening.
Coming up next: Why football is quickly approaching my beloved baseball in terms of "favorite sport".
A Few More Free Agent Signings
Three new free-agent signings this week I wanted to comment on…
1. Jason Giambi is going back to the Oakland A's. After spending a bunch of years with the Yankees, the big man is going back to his roots. I'll never forget that Sports Illustrated cover (pictured above) showing the grease-ball Giambi and thinking "whoa…this guy is crazy". I became very jaded towards Giambi when his name kept popping up in the steroid scandals of the past decade, but I now have much more respect for him, as he is the ONLY player I can think of who has come clean.
2. Trevor Hoffman signed with the Milwaukee Brewers. Hoffman is a no-brainer first ballot Hall of Famer, but he may be on the down-slope of his career. By and large he's still a pretty good closer, but he is beginning to fail a bit too often in those pressure-packed situations.
3. John Smoltz is now a member of the Boston Red Sox. If healthy, Smoltz can dominate a game basically wherever you put him (starter, reliever, closer, etc.). Of course, keeping him healthy is another matter entirely…

How effective are your interview skills?
Jim Collins book Good to Great speaks about not only getting the right people on the bus and the wrong people off the bus, but also getting the right people in the right seat on the bus.
Starting Point
The starting point is long before the actual interview. The starting point in the employment dance is the ad the employer places to attract the ideal client. If the position offered sounds unappealing in any way, the most qualified candidates will search elsewhere.
Employer's ad
Some recently posted ads described a lengthy list of duties. If Superman was functioning at top efficiency, he might be able to complete the list in 40 to 50 hours a week. The next line read: 5-10 hours a week. The pay rate was listed as $10 per hour. Get real potential employer. Have you heard about the concept of value received for value paid? A simple disclaimer line "Some of these tasks may be required at some time; not all of these will be required every week."
The ideal ad presents a benefit to the potential job-seeker candidate in exchange for specific duties performed. Create honest descriptions which make the position sound appealing. Give just enough compensation information to inform the candidate that you are a fair business person. Vague ads which create more questions than they answer are a waste of time.
Save yourself time by listing the minimum requirements – education, software skills, experience and main duties. The top candidates will search for positions where their skills match the job.
Applications and cover letters frequently receive a cursory glance. Either they catch your eye and go in the "maybe" or the "yes" pile or they become a dive bomber into the trash. A ten page cover letter or a multi-page resume rarely land in the "second look" section. If the bullet points on the resume and the opening line on the cover letter do not catch the attention, they have a short life.
Savvy employers know exactly which skills they are seeking. They either find them quickly or move on to the next candidate. A candidate who does not clearly display their qualifications rarely has a chance.
Step one is an attractive, professional appearance. Unless you are Steve Jobs, a candidate who arrives in jeans, tennis shoes and a t-shirt might as well go home.
Clean, pressed, and professional attire set the stage for a good first impression. Don't forget your polished shoes; this is not the time for clogs regardless of their fashion trends.
Face to Face
Greet the candidate with a firm handshake and a friendly smile.
Ask questions to determine prior situations where the candidate has demonstrated the skills you are seeking. When you know the problem you want this new employee to solve for you, you know the questions to ask to discover if they are capable of filling that role. Questions should be casual and demonstrate an interest in the answers. Asking questions like a drill sergeant, robot or machine gun style will not create a positive impression.
Just as the candidate must be prepared before attending an interview, so the employer has a responsibility to be prepared.
Employment is a value for value proposition. Unless the experience is positive for both parties, it will not last; you will be repeating this interview process again far too soon.

The function $f:\Bbb R\to\Bbb R$ defined by $f(x)=\min(3x^3+x,|x|)$ is
(A) continuous on $\Bbb R$, but not differentiable at $x=0$.
(B) differentiable on $\Bbb R$, but $f\,'$ is discontinuous at $x=0$.
(C) differentiable on $\Bbb R$, and $f\,'$ is continuous on $\Bbb R$.
(D) differentiable to any order on $\Bbb R$.
My attempt: Here,$f(x)=|x|,x>0$;$f(x)=3x^3+x,x<0$;$f(x)=0$ at $x=0.$ Also,$Lf'(0)=Rf'(0)=1.$ So,$f$ is differentiable at $x=0.$ But I am having trouble to check whether $f'$ is continuous at $x=0$ or not. Can someone point me in the right direction?Thanks in advance for your time.

How do I conduct a job search?
When should I begin my search?
Featured Resources
Webinar: Job Search Tips
(Originally aired: 2/19/13)
Sponsored by the Hiatt Career Center
During this hour-long webinar, Andrea Dine, director of the Hiatt Career Center, will cover the step-by-step process of finding a job and the resources available through Hiatt and other sources to help you on your way.
Job Search
Job Search Process
Searching for a job is a process. It involves drawing on skills you've developed over time including reflection, research, planning, writing, speaking, problem solving and self-advocacy.
Know yourself
Identify your values, skills, interests, motivations and strengths. Also consult Hiatt's major pages to review the skills and knowledge you have developed as a result of your choice of major. This foundational work will enhance your job search decision-making, as well as your materials and activities including networking, resume and cover letter writing and interviewing.
Research career possibilities and narrow your focus
Be prepared to identify your areas of interest by industry, mission, role, and type of organization. The networking contacts you develop in this research phase will be invaluable. Consider the following:
- Role – Is there a particular function you want to fill? Do you want to be doing particular tasks or using particular skills, regardless of industry? (i.e., marketing, accounting, etc.)
- Industry – Is there a particular field that you want to join, no matter what you might be doing? (i.e., education, corporate finance, museums, etc.)
- Type of organization – Do you want to work in a small or large organization? What about for a for-profit, non-profit, or government organization?
- Mission/issue area – Are you passionate about a particular issue? Do you want to work for an organization that addresses that mission?
- Other considerations – Compensation, geography, and public transportation can influence your priorities, as well.
Prepare your job search materials
Your application materials including your resume and cover letter should be written directly to your audience, emphasizing your most relevant skills and experiences, and speaking your potential employers' language. Once you have a job lead or job posting, you may customize your cover letter further. If there is an organization that interests you, feel free to proactively send them a cover letter and resume expressing that you would like to work with them and how you might contribute to their organization.
Activate and expand your network
Since networking contacts contribute to over 80% of successful job searches, let your network know about your areas of interest and that you are job searching. Also, take advantage of networking opportunities to expand your network including Hiatt's LinkedIn group, industry forums and networking events. No one is alone in his or her job search. As you may have already experienced, helping someone get a job or internship is a personally rewarding experience; allow your contacts to be rewarded.
Search for and apply to available positions
The best applications are those that are targeted. Most applications require a resume and cover letter. Others may ask for writing sample, portfolio, transcript, and/or samples of your work.
You may find these positions through Hiatt's Campus Recruiting program and B.hired. Also, review company and professional organization websites, and job posting sites. Many job sites are listed in the Career Resource Index generally, by industry and by geographic location.
You may also want to consider registering with an employment agency or recruiting firm. Your previously conducted research will inform this decision. If you are considering working for an organization that regularly hires temps from a particular agency, then register with that agency. If are job searching in a field that regularly uses recruiting firms, like accounting, register with an accounting recruiting firm. Neither an employment agency nor recruiting firm should ever charge you. Research each employment agency or recruiting firm carefully before sharing your information, and confirm that they regularly work with clients at your level of experience.
Beginning Your Search
It's never too early to start thinking about your job search. While many timelines vary by industry (e.g. finance and government tend to have earlier deadlines than most fields), it is safe to say that the average, active job search takes about three to six months.
What happens after I apply?
Follow up
You may not hear back from an organization immediately. Consider a follow up email or phone call no sooner than a week after your initial contact. This will confirm your interest in the organization, as well as demonstrate your persistence and initiative. If the organization has requested "no calls" or "no emails," follow their instructions. The most difficult part of the job search process is waiting. Be patient. For most employers, jobs take months to fill; what may feel like a very long time to wait for you, may be lightning speed for an organization.
If your applications materials landed you an interview, it is imperative that you prepare and practice. Learn more about interview preparation.
If you are fortunate enough to receive an offer of employment, you should know about all your options. Learn more about responding to offers.

Last summer, while we were driving down Fall River Road, we saw a sign that said, "Museum" on it. We took the left and drove down and saw three yellow buildings that said, "Estes Park Hydroplant." We walked around and looked at the kiosk, but no one was there and we thought that was it. Boy… were we wrong! Last week we were at the Estes Park Museum waiting for Kate Miller, the Curator, who was due back momentarily. When she arrived she explained that she'd been at the old Power Plant on Fall River Road, which she supervises. She talked a little about it and said we shouldn't miss it! It's a fascinating bit of history!
This power plant, completed in 1909, was built by F.O. Stanley for his new hotel in town, the Stanley Hotel. The plant, which cost $69,000, was finished on the day that the hotel opened, making it the first "all-electric" hotel in the United States. It used electricity (most other hotels used coal or wood) in its kitchen for all of its cooking Just turning a switch could regulate the temperature on the stove. It was one of the first hotels to have steam hot water for both the kitchen, bathrooms and a steam laundry.
It is just amazing to see how the "state-of-the-art" power plant, in that tiny little building, worked! The water that made the plant work came from Fall River. Upriver, F.O. Stanley constructed Cascade Lake and a dam which was 17 feet high and 5800 feet upstream. A steel penstock diverted the water to the power plant where the Hug water wheel drove the Western Electric turbine. The operator would open the valve in the lake during the day to allow more water to flow through and then close it up at night so the lake would get full again. Stanley used only slate and marble for the switchboard at the plant to insure that no one was electrocuted while working the switches and gauges, which were all manually operated. In 1909, Estes Park was still using kerosene lamps for lighting at night, so they asked to be connected to the plant so they could have lighting on the streets.
But the hydro couldn't keep up with the demand. In 1918, Stanley replaced the penstock so that more water could reach the plant. But the demand was still more than the supply and, in 1921; another 900 horsepower Worthington Francis turbine with a GE 680 kilowatt generator was added to the plant in a new 15x15 foot room. This would help in the summer months when the demand was so much higher and when Fall River was flowing to its greatest. Stanley continually had to take more steps to take on more customers as the demand grew. In 1926, Stanley sold his plant. By 1927, the Stanley Hotel became completely reliant on coal for cooking, heating, and lighting. He released all of the extra electricity for sale which made it possible for other hotels and homes at a greater distance to get the hydro-electric power. But in July, 1982, when the Lawn Lake Dam burst sending millions of gallons of water down Fall River and into Estes Park, the power plant stopped. You can see the original clock on the wall stopped right when the water hit the building. Very COOL!
As you go into the museum, you can see the original Hug water wheel and the Western Electric Turbine, There are little sound pieces where you can listen to people who used to work there. The switchboard is enormous! You can see the 10 foot pole that the workers had to use to manipulate it. There was a volunteer who was kind enough to show us around, which was very helpful. As you go into the "newer" room that housed the newer general Electric generator, you can see the mud line on the wall where the flood hit. There is a large kiosk outside the museum that is very interesting and educational to read. We found that was more helpful to read after the "tour" when we knew a little more. It is just amazing to think that the entire town of Estes Park was dependent on this little power plant until 1949! Their hours are Tuesday-Sunday from 1-4 until Labor Day. If you haven't been there, it's a trip back into history and a real gem!

Hungary's Parliament Votes Holocaust Denial to Be Against Law
In a speedy vote early this week, the Hungarian parliament accepted an amendment to the criminal code, to punish holocaust denial. The amendment landed on President Laszlo Solyom's table, who has 15 days to decide on its ratification.
"Those who publicly hurt the dignity of a victim of the holocaust by denying or questioning the holocaust itself, or claims it insignificant, infringe the law and can be punished by prison sentence of up to three years," the amendment says.
The amendment was initiated by the socialist MSZP party's prime minister candidate Attila Mesterhazy, who reasoned the spread of anti-semitism and neo-fascist notions has accelerated and can be perceived in daily life now.
The reason why the president isn't widely expected to pass the law is manifold. On the one hand, it is unclear who can be regarded as a victim of the holocaust, or why is it only the holocaust and not other genocides included in the law. On the other hand, as online daily Index rightfully claims, the "publicly" condition stated in the amendment may also include historians debating on the holocaust, as well as random readers commenting an online story.
And we've arrived at the issue of the freedom of speech and the freedom of opinion, two of the main reasons why a bill on holocaust denial hasn't been approved so far in Hungary. These are constitutional rights that cannot be restricted.
Members of the liberal party SZDSZ almost unanimously voted in tandem with the MSZP for the amendment. However, prior to the vote, SZDSZ used to be the keenest fighter for the freedom of speech and opinion, claiming that instead of prohibition, the state should educate and promote a society-wide cooperation against racism. Now they seem to have betrayed their earlier stance.
The sad thing is that this storm-in-a-teacup regarding a very serious issue appears to me just another campaign move to gain voters ahead of the April general elections. In the absence of analysts' explanations, we Dow Jones Newswires reporters made our own assumptions.
After SZDSZ has become virtually non-existent compared to its glory five or ten years ago, MSZP is now targeting with the amendment SZDSZ's potential voters, liberals sensitive to racial issues.
In the meantime, opposition party Fidesz, the widely-tipped winner of the elections, said earlier that denying genocide by national socialist (the so-called arrow-cross) and communist regimes' should also be punished, but the claim wasn't included in the amendment. Fidesz has also claimed that a law on holocaust denial could be unconstitutional.
With such remarks, Fidesz is also jumping the bandwagon of racial issues, but with a smart move of trying to attract both the left- and right-leaning voters.

It seems MGM is serious about that "Ben-Hur" remake.
Deadline reports today that "Avengers" star Tom Hiddelston has been offered the lead role in the remake.
The report notes that the Hiddleston is not set to get behind a chariot, but he is MGM's top choice for the role of Judah Ben-Hur. Hiddelston is a hot commodity, which can be credited to his memorable performance as Loki in several of Marvel Studios' film.
The "Ben-Hur" remake is to be directed by "Wanted" director Timur Bekmambetov and the most recent draft of the script was worked on by Oscar-winning "12 Years a Slave" screenwriter John Ridley.
The original "Ben-Hur" was released in 1959 and starred the late Charlton Heston. The film cemented Heston as a star and forever engraved him in the history of cinema taking home the Oscar for Best Actor.
Hiddleston is tailored for the role with his classical background and the gravitas he brings to the screen that was one full display in both the "Avengers" and the "Thor" films. His next big role is in Guillermo del Toro's "Crimson Peak," that is set for a October 15, 2015 release--he is also sure to reprise his role in Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
"Ben-Hur" currently does not have a release date.
