Shares in a London-based mining firm jump more than 6% after it announces the discovery of a large and rare blue diamond.
13:37, UK, Friday 13 June 2014
A mining firm has revealed the discovery of an "exceptional" 122.52-carat blue diamond.
Petra Diamonds said the discovery was made at the Cullinan mine in South Africa.
The London-based firm saw its share price rise more than 6% in early Friday trades as a result of the announcement.
It said in a statement: "The rarity of a blue diamond of this magnitude sets it apart as a truly significant find.
"The stone will require further analysis in order to assess its potential value and upon completion of this process, Petra will be in a position to evaluate its optimal route to market.
"The diamond will, therefore, not be sold before the end of the company's current financial year (June 30)."
The Cullinan mine is known as the world's most important source of blue diamonds and was purchased by Petra in 2008.
It is located at the foothills of the Magaliesberg mountain range, 24 miles north-east of the capital Pretoria.
The mine gained international fame in 1905 after the discovery of the largest rough diamond ever discovered, weighing 3,106 carats.
It was cut into two dressed diamonds for the British monarchy.
The First Star of Africa, weighing 530 carats, was mounted atop the Sovereign's Sceptre.
It is the largest flawless cut diamond in the world.
The Second Star of Africa, weighing 317 carats, is centrally located in the Imperial State Crown.
There are no official statistics on the recovery and dressing of rare blue diamonds.
The blue hue is because of small traces of boron trapped in the carbon structure during formation.

J.P. Morgan Takes Trading Day Bragging Rights
Shanny Basar, Financial News
Goldman Sachs made twice as many single-day trading losses as Wall Street rival J.P. Morgan last year, according to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings from the two banks.
J.P. Morgan said in its annual 10k filing with the SEC late last month that it made money on 233 out of 260 trading days in 2011. The bank revealed that its average daily trading revenue was $73 million but that on seven days last year it made gains of over $200 million.
At the bank's investor day in New York last week, Jes Staley, chief executive of J.P. Morgan's investment bank, praised the near record performance of the business in 2011: the investment-banking division reported revenues of $26.3 billion and its second-highest profits on record of $6.8 billion in 2011.
In his presentation, Mr. Staley said J.P. Morgan's revenues from its trading business were $19.3 billion last year and added that its trading business was less volatile that those of its peers. Mr. Staley said the volatility of the bank's trading revenues was 25% over the past 12 quarters, compared to 40% for its peer group.
Goldman Sachs, meanwhile, lost money on 54 trading days last year with losses of more than $100 million on four of those, according to its 10k filing. The U.S. bank made gains of more than $100 million on 54 days.
J.P. Morgan did not disclose the size of its trading losses in its filing. Both Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan declined to comment.
Last week, Citigroup reported in its annual filing that it made net losses from trading on a fifth of all trading days — 54 out of 260.
Citi also revealed that largest single-day trading loss was between $260 million and $280 million last year and this occurred in August when ratings agency Standard & Poor's downgraded the U.S. government. The bank's second-largest single-day loss of between $160 million and $180 million was on March 11 last year, when Japan's most powerful earthquake on record hit the north-east coast and caused a massive tsunami.
Rival Bank of America lost money on 46 days last year, according to its SEC filing, and its largest loss was $119 million.
Morgan Stanley said in its filing that it experienced net trading losses on 64 days, with losses of more than $150 million on five days.

|Salmonella Decline May Be Short-Lived If Meat Safety Rollback Continues, Says CSPI
Statement Of CSPI Food Safety Director Caroline Smith DeWaal
Declines in illness rates for two food-borne hazards, Salmonella and Campylobacter, is certainly good news for American consumers. It shows that the recent advances were resulting in cleaner, safer meat and fewer illnesses.
But even as bioterrorism concerns were at their height, last December a federal appeals court struck down crucial provisions of the U.S. Department of Agricultures meat-safety regulations in Supreme Beef Processors v. USDA. That decision could reverse years of progress that have reduced the risk of food poisoning.
Illness rates could go right back up as the Bush Administration stops enforcing USDAs limits on Salmonella in meat and poultry. This rollback must be reversed or consumers will face greater food-safety risks in the future than they do today.

Shop Tip: Cutting melamine-coated particleboard panels
An off-site bookcase project required cutting melamine-coated particleboard panels, but a tablesaw and radial-arm saw were not available. We did, however, have a circular saw and framing square. When cutting the particleboard end panels for the bookcase, we experienced a bit of chip-out and less-than-perfect cross cuts.
To solve the problem, we started by supporting the panels on sawhorses. Then, to reduce chipping, we used a 60-tooth carbide-tipped blade and fit our saw with a zero-clearance auxiliary hardboard shoe. To do this, we cut a piece of tempered hardboard the same size as the metal saw base. Then, we raised the blade above the metal base and adhered the hardboard to it with double-faced tape, carefully aligning the edges of the hardboard with the saw base. We then set the saw on the workpiece so the blade cleared the edge. With the saw running, we plunged the blade through the hardboard shoe, as shown at below, top.
For simple but accurate right-angle crosscuts, we purchased a pair of stair gauges (about $5 at hardware stores) for our framing square. We clamped the stair gauges to the short blade of the square, as shown at below, middle, and adjusted the circular saw blade to cut about 7/8" deep. Next, we positioned the square to align the saw blade with the marked cutline. Finally, we clamped the square to the end panel and crosscut it as shown at below, bottom.

Congratulations to Pittsburgh bred, LA based producer Derek Dumont for being our March winner! His music is an earthy electronic with sounds inspired by "landscapes and weather patterns, sunsets and city lights dotted in the distance." Derek shares:
"As much as I want to make music that is fresh and stimulating, I want to make music that communicates on a therapeutic level, without being boxed into any specific genre. A level that allows people to escape to their concentrations."
The young producer is featured on two tracks for Wiz Khalifa's new mixtape Taylor Allderdice, and as such, be sure to dig into "Number 16″ and "Mia Wallace." But that's not introduction enough for this self-made beat maker who's just getting started. Derek has also composed the soundtrack to a feature-length documentary entitled Only God Could Hear Me. Watch the trailer for the documentary after the jump.
And we are so very excited to premier the video for the gorgeous cinematic tune, "Yesterday," above – don't you see yourself on an epic rode trip in the middle of nowhere?! Below, we have been graced with the opportunity to share an unreleased track, "Colored Coma," yet another brilliant cinematic tune – we'd pair it with the breakdown the protagonist has after finding out the love of his life is gone forever. After that is a free download for the previously released "One Night In Charlotte" – put this over a scene of all-night teenage shenanigans on a coming of age indie flick. Yep – we could make up stories to his songs all day.

Looks like the Eric Lau and Guilty Simpson collaboration ("The Mission") back in November wasn't a one time thing. Their newest tune, "Yesterday," is a characteristically chilled out track with droopy keys and features some pretty pretty background vocals from Fatima and Olivier Daysoul. Feel free to let your hair down for this one.

WESTMINSTER – Council members voted 3-1 Wednesday night with Mayor Margie Rice abstaining to split the use of the Sid Goldstein Freedom Park on April 30 between two groups, which both want to hold Black April ceremonies at that location.
The council vote, amid vocal protests from the mayor, to give Orange County Supervisor Janet Nguyen and 38 other groups use of the park from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the Vietnamese American Community of Southern California from 5 to 9 p.m. Council members Tri Ta, Andy Quach and Tyler Diep voted in favor, while Councilman Frank Fry voted against. Rice abstained.
Wednesday's meeting was a special council meeting held to resolve the dispute between the two groups, which city officials said, were unable to work out a compromise after more than 100 hours of negotiations.
Council chambers were packed with a standing-room only audience Wednesday night with members of the Vietnamese American community cheering for one side or the other. At least 100 people stood outside council chambers because the room was full.
The controversy surrounding the use of the park surfaced early this year when members of the Vietnamese American Community of Southern California learned that Nguyen had applied and obtained a permit to hold a Black April commemoration ceremony the evening of April 30. The park is also home to the Vietnam War Memorial.
The date this year marks the 35th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, when communists took over Vietnam in 1975. Little Saigon is home to the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam – a community mostly made up of refugees who fled the communist regime.
Several people spoke on the issue. A majority of those present at the meeting seemed to be against Nguyen's taking over the ceremonies.
"Black April is an important event for the Vietnamese community," said Khoi Pham, a member of the community. "The permit given to Janet Nguyen must be revoked. This event belongs to the community."
Leslie K. Le said he supports Janet Nguyen's event.
"She is not doing this event alone," he said. "There is no reason to revoke the permit when the applicant did everything right and did not commit a violation. We have no reason to fight about this."
Rice said she abstained from the vote because she did not want to send a message to one group that it should not have its event.
"Of course, they should have their event," she said. "But Janet should have got the time she requested in her application. This is simply not right."
Rice was visibly enraged at the pressure from the mob.
"I will not be controlled by a group of people who think they run this city," she said. "I will not bend under pressure. This is America, not Vietnam."
Quach said he believed that this was the most equitable solution under the circumstances.
"It's unfortunate that no one's willing to compromise," he said. "We have to be fair to both parties."
Fry, who voted against the proposal to split the time, said he believes he did the right thing.
"We had rules, and I played by the rules," he said.

New Line New Hollywood Cinema Series The Player
Robert Altman takes a scalpel to Hollywood ethics in the 1990s (or the lack thereof) in his acidic satire The Player, adapted from Michael Tolkin's novel. (Tolkin also wrote the screenplay.) The film concerns a sleek and smooth Hollywood studio executive who starts receiving death threats from a disgruntled writer because he has committed the ultimate Hollywood sin — he promised the writer he would call him back and he never did.

The University of Michigan's Natural History collections were established in the mid-19th century and became significant with the donation of over 60,000 specimens by a world-traveling alumnus, Joseph Beal Steere, in the 1870s.
The current building was completed in 1928. In the early 20th century, the University Museum subdivided into four separate research museums: the Museums of Paleontology, Zoology, and Anthropological Archaeology, and the University Herbarium. The Museum of Natural History, devoted exclusively to the development of exhibits and educational programs, was officially created in 1956, although public displays had been offered for some 100 years at that point.
The Museum of Natural History was the recipient of the Kathleen Power Collaboration Award, given by Nonprofit Excellence at Work (NEW). The Museum was recognized for the Family Reading and Science Program that is coordinated with numerous libraries in local counties.
The Museum is located in the Alexander G. Ruthven Museums Building, named for the former University Museums Director and University President. Click here for a recent story about Ruthven.

Remember the good old days when we all hung out at Ben's Half Yard House on upper Greenville? We slammed back beer and played darts and got into rowdy brawls and listened to Ben Williams tell tall tales of his days as a Navy Seal and member of the Special Forces. Ben sold this place eight years ago and disappeared. Today he emerges wearing an Italian suit and generally managing the business at Arcodoro Pomodoro.

GAINESVILLE -- The University of Florida football team begins its training camp today. The defending national champion is ranked No. 3 in the coaches' poll. Little else is certain.
The Gators begin fall practice with just 20 upperclassmen -- 10 seniors and 10 juniors -- and a defense that returns two starters. The superior talent level of the Gators' underclassmen is expected to the fill the void. One of the coaching staff's first priorities this fall will be to identify sophomores and freshmen willing to accept leadership roles. More than anything, Meyer says this will be the key to a successful season.
"If we can do it we'll be a really good team," Meyer said. "That's a concern. How you find, how you develop it -- that's the secret.
"I don't know where we are with that. I have concerns. I like the guys. I just need to see how they're going to react to tough situations."
The Gators' sophomore and freshman recruiting classes were ranked among the nation's best, but offseason transgressions involving some of those youngsters have raised concerns about team discipline.
"The one common theme was they were all freshmen and sophomores, young players that need to grow up and grow up real fast," Meyer said. "Just like most coaches, we deal with it. You educate. You correct."
One underclassman leader has already emerged. For two years now, coaches and players have lauded quarterback Tim Tebow for his ability as a natural leader.
The sophomore hasn't started a game since a 2005 high school state championship but received ample playing time as a freshman backup for Chris Leak.
Meyer is excited about his offensive options with Tebow under center and the coach plans to implement more of his spread-option offense to utilize the quarterback's abilities as a durable runner. Tebow is the team's returning statistical leader in rushing yards and will be aided by an offensive line that returns five starters.
"If the quarterback position is a legitimate threat, it changes what you see on defense," Meyer said. "I think that's the biggest thing I'm looking forward to seeing."
One of the offense's immediate concerns will be to develop a capable backup quarterback. Freshman Cameron Newton enrolled at UF early for spring drills but he will be challenged by junior college transfer Bryan Waggener and freshman John Brantley, who set a Florida high school state record for career touchdowns (99).
Replacing 10 of the top 12 tacklers from 2006 is the Gators' greatest concern. Safety Tony Joiner and defensive end Derrick Harvey are the only returning starters. Coaches will work quickly to find starters along the defensive line and in the secondary.
"Our challenge to our team is, 'Can we make it through training camp?' " Meyer said. "Our training camp is going to be really hard. It's going to be really hot, like it always is."

EUGENE, Ore. - Duck freshmen took center stage as Parker Stinson won his third straight men's junior 10,000 meters and Mike Berry advanced to the final of the senior 400 meters Friday at the USA Track and Field Championships.
But it was former Duck Ashton Eaton who thrilled the record crowd of 10,057 at Historic Hayward Field by winning his first USA title in the decathlon.
The Bend, Ore., native captured the 10-event crown by scoring a personal-best 8,729 points. The three-time NCAA champion in the event recorded the fifth-highest decathlon score in U.S. history.
"I didn't expect to score that high," said Eaton. "I didn't get any big marks. It was constant. My goal in Korea is to win."
In the men's 400 meter semifinals, Berry was part of a five-wide race coming off the final turn. The freshman from Seattle, Wash., hit the jets off the bend and finished in the lead pack to automatically advance to Saturday's final.
Berry finished third in 45.39. Defending U.S. champ Greg Nixon won the heat in 45.24, while Jamaal Torrence was second in 45.36.
"I'm very excited right now," said Berry. "It's a dream come true to come out here and race against all these pros. Last year I was in high school. I just wanted to come out here and show what I have. I'm just very blessed to have my talent.
"I'm just going to come out hard (in the final) and maintain my speed. My goal is to make Team USA."
Former Duck Keshia Baker advanced to the women's 400 meter final. She ran fourth in her semifinal in 51.95 to automatically move on.
Two other former Ducks found success in the men's events.
Galen Rupp, who won the 10,000 meters Thursday night, placed third in the 5,000 meters in 13:25.52 on Friday.
Another 2010 graduate, Cyrus Hostetler, posted his best showing at the USA meet by taking third in the men's javelin. He had a top throw of 255-4/77.84m. Senior Alex Wolff was 14th with a mark of 229-0/69.81m.
Freshman Laura Roesler was eighth in her semifinal heat of the women's 800 meters in 2:05.56, while senior Claire Michel was ninth in her semifinal of the 3,000 meters in 10:06.55. Neither runner advanced.
In winning his third straight junior 10,000 meter title Stinson took the lead with a little over five laps remaining and slowly pulled away from the field to win in 30:25.77.
"The strategy evolved throughout the race," said the Austin, Texas, native. "I went into it without a real strategy; obviously I didn't want to do anything the first mile or two.
"The weather was great and the guys were right there on me the whole way. I'm glad I kept running as fast as I could the whole way."
In other junior action, English Gardner was the runner-up in the women's 100 meters. The freshman from Voorhees, N.J., waged an entertaining battle with Central Florida's Aurieyall Scott, before the Knight freshman edged Gardner at the line.
Aurieyall won in 11.12, with Gardner next in 11.18. Oregon signee Jenna Prandini was fifth in 11.51.
"My goal was to get my name out there my freshman year," said Gardner. "This was a tough race and I was happy to bounce back here after nationals."
Earlier in the day, Gardner took a commanding lead in her 100 meter semifinal at the 75-meter mark before easing across the line in 11.40 to win. Prandini was third in the other semifinal in 11.67.
That was the beginning of Prandini's day, which ended in a win in the junior long jump. She had a best leap of 20-5.75/6.24m.
Three Ducks signees competed in junior field events on Friday.
Greg Skipper was the runner-up in the junior men's hammer. He had a best throw of 220-7/67.23m. Alec Fellows finished fourth in the junior decathlon with 6,802 points. Alyssa Monteverdi was fifth in the junior heptatlon with 4,876 points.
Duck freshman Kortney Ross took fourth in the junior women's pole vault. She had a best clearance of 12-11.5/3.95m. Oregon freshman Sammie Clark and UO signee Anginae Monteverde tied for fifth at 12-5.5/3.80m.
In junior semifinal action, freshman Phyllis Francis set a personal best by a second to win her heat of the women's 400 meters and advance to Saturday's final. The Queens, N.Y., native timed 53.28, which was the seventh-fastest time in school history.
Freshman Megan Patrignelli was fifth in her semifinal of the women's 1,500 meters in 4:26.95, and advanced on time to Saturday's final on time.
Duck signee Elias Gedyon won his junior 1,500 semifinal in 3:56.97 to advance to the final.

Knights Knock Down Wildcats 72-62
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 12/12/2012
ORLANDO – Bethune-Cookman got 19 points from Adrien Coleman, but UCF's strong inside play led by Keith Clanton helped the Knights take a 72-62 victory Wednesday night at UCF Arena.
Clanton scored 30 points on 14-of-15 shooting and snagged 13 rebounds as the Knights (5-2) scored 58 of their 72 points in the paint. Tristan Spurlock also double-doubled (10 points, 11 rebounds) for the Knights, who shot 61.5 percent (32 of 52) from the field and outrebounded the Wildcats 43-26.
Coleman was the lone player in double figures for B-CU, which had a two-game winning streak stopped.
B-CU (4-7) fell behind 7-0 early, but got it to 16-12 on a Coleman lay-up with 12:18 remaining. UCF built its lead back to 15, but Coleman scored the final five points of the half to narrow the deficit to 38-28.
Spurlock gave UCF its biggest lead at 54-34 with 15:11 remaining.
B-CU got it under 10 on a Dukes jumper that made it 65-57 with 3:42 left, but a Matt Williams three-pointer and a Clanton lay-up helped the Knights regain control.
Paul Scotland scored nine points for B-CU, while Ricky Johnson and Dukes added seven apiece while Alex Smith and Javoris Bryant each scored six.
B-CU travels to Pittsburgh for a 7 p.m. Saturday contest that will air on ESPN3.
"It's a great opportunity to cut the margin to single digits on the road against a good team. I was happy we fought back, but when you play a good team on the road, all the little things matter — getting loose balls, hitting free throws, making your layups. We weren't doing those things.''
NOTES: UCF's 61.5 field goal percentage was the high for a B-CU opponent this season,as were the 43 rebounds … B-CU committed just eight turnovers, its second-lowest total of the year … B-CU was just 6-14 from the line, but UCF was 5-15 … This was Johnson's first game back after missing five due to a mild concussion … Dukes' stat line included eight assists and season highs of six rebounds and four steals; Dukes also made a three-pointer for the 31st consecutive game … B-CU has now dropped eight straight to UCF.

Warriors' forward Harrison Barnes helped Team Hill secure a 142-136 victory over Team Webber at Friday night's NBA Rising Stars Challenge in New Orleans.
Participating in his second Rising Stars' game, Barnes totaled 16 points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes despite struggling early.
He missed a three to open the game and was just 1-for-7 from the floor in the first half of what was largely a defenseless competition.
But Golden State's sophomore rebounded in the second half, notably driving past Pelicans' All-Star center Anthony Davis for a layup then following it with another scoring drive to the rim before drilling a three.
He finished with a +10, yet he and even the game's MVP Pistons' center Andre Drummond were overshadowed by the one-on-one battle between Knicks' guard Tim Hardaway Jr. and Cavs' guard Dion Waiters.
Barnes scored 12 points as a rookie in last years' event and he is not eligible for the 2015 game.
He finishes All-Star weekend as a participant in Saturday's Slam Dunk Contest.

TechPinas was born on a ThinkPad -- so this powerhouse business laptop line will always hold a special place in my heart.
I've recently purchased a Macbook Pro (my first Mac and I'm totally loving it) but I'm sure that I'll eventually get another of these no-nonsense all-black notebooks because - like what all other ThinkPad fans will tell you - no other machine helps you get work done fast like a ThinkPad.
In Tune With The Changing Times
ThinkPads have had many forms and looks throughout the years -- from the glorious IBM days all the way to the current Lenovo Era. We've had one with butterfly keyboard, there's also the TransNote version with a fold-out journal that you can write on, the X-series convertible tablets, and the svelte Z-series with titanium lid, among many others. Clearly, if the ThinkPad wasn't setting the trend, it was leading the pack when it comes to innovation.
The hottest thing in the laptop world these days are the Ultrabooks; these ultra-thin and ultra-lightweight notebooks with enough power to let you accomplish more. And ThinkPad, as expected, is again at the forefront of this category.
Touted as the world's lightest Ultrabook, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is created for those who demand the highest levels of mobility, performance, entertainment and design. This CEO-level business notebook exceeds Ultrabook specifications by using a premium carbon fiber roll cage to create a durable Ultrabook weighing less than three pounds and is just 18mm thin!
The elegant notebook delivers no-compromise performance with the power of the latest 3rd generation Intel Core processor. Great performance is further enhanced with Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 and Lenovo's RapidConnect and RapidResume technology. Users likewise get Intel HD 4000 Graphics, 8GB RAM, storage up to 256GB SDD, and data transfer with SuperSpeed USB 3.0. Other premium features include Lenovo RapidCharge for a near-full battery charge in just 30 minutes and Intel vPro technology for manageability. ThinkPad X1 Carbon offers the amazing HD+ display with wide viewing angle, high brightness, and high resolution, allowing you to use the ultrabook in any environment and lighting condition, even outdoors.
The ultrabook flaunts the redesigned and re-imagined ThinkPad keyboard with island-style keys that - according to Lenovo - feels and works even better than the Legendary ThinkPad Keyboard that quite frankly set the standard for how any keyboard on any device should perform.
Anyone who will tell you that ThinkPads are just those boring black notebooks with a red button in the middle of the keyboard knows nothing about ThinkPad's rich history. Sure, they often come in black (as there have been white and red ThinkPads) but they are far from boring.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is now available in the Philippines via MSI-ECS for Php 115,998! I know that's a tad hefty but we're talking about a ThinkPad here. Interested? You can give MSI-ECS a ring at 688-3180.

Just another simple developer's thoughts!
I finally broke down and purchased an AMD Turion64 laptop which came with the 32bit version of Windows Home SP2, which was totally unacceptable. Why have a 64bit system only to run a 32bit operating system? In my mind there was none so the first thing I did was format the drive and install Windows Pro x64.
I soon realized that finding 64bit drivers was not as easy as I hoped. After hours of searching Google I finally located drivers for the video card and sound card. The only remaing device that I could not locate a driver for was the modem and since I do not use dial up I decided to give up on the ide of locating a driver for the modem. At this point life is great!
My next step was to install Visual Studio .NET 2003 and 2005 since I do development both in 1.1 and 2.0. This in itself did not present any problems rather the first issue I ran into was when I tried to execute an application developed in .NET v1.1. The browser returned an error stating "Service Unavailable". Ahhh, it is always something with me. I found the answer at Microsoft.
In short here is the answer:
IIS 6.0 supports both the 32-bit mode and the 64-bit mode. However IIS 6.0 does not support running both modes at the same time on a 64-bit version of Windows. ASP.NET 1.1 runs only in 32-bit mode. ASP.NET 2.0 runs in 32-bit mode or in 64-bit mode. Therefore, if you want to run ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0 at the same time, you must run IIS in 32-bit mode
After you install the redistributable packages, you can switch between the different versions of ASP.NET. To do this, follow these steps for each ASP.NET version:
ASP.NET 1.1, 32-bit versionTo run the 32-bit version of ASP.NET 1.1, follow these steps:
ASP.NET 2.0, 32-bit versionTo run the 32-bit version of ASP.NET 2.0, follow these steps:
ASP.NET 2.0, 64-bit versionTo run the 64-bit version of ASP.NET 2.0, follow these steps:
I am sure this will not be the end of problems I encounter however I am off to a good start.
On a side note I would be most interseted in hearing from others running Windows Pro x64 and useful applications such as anti-virus software tht are built for 64bit operating systems.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
BioLamina signed a research and development agreement with Roche to jointly develop new cell culture systems for various applications, including stem cell research. The collaboration will focus on assessing laminin-based in vitro cell culture matrices that offer physiological microenvironments for living cells.
Under the terms of the agreement Roche will provide R&D funding and scientific expertise to BioLamina.
Laminins are proteins located in the extracellular matrix giving the stability essential for cell growth and behavior. They are the only protein group in this environment that have a tissue-specific distribution, including expression of specific laminins during embryonic development, according to BioLamina. This makes them a very interesting target for new biologically relevant cell culturing techniques, according to Ruedi Stoffel, head of biochemical reagents and custom biotech at Roche.
"Our aim is to develop laminin-based culture systems that provide biologically relevant, standardized environments," said Stoffel. "We are looking forward to this collaboration to build on the revolutionary cell cultivation techniques developed by our colleagues at the Karolinska Institute and BioLamina."
"We're delighted that Roche has recognized the potential of our products and technology, which we believe will significantly complement their expertise and capabilities in cell culturing," added Kristian Tryggvason, CEO of BioLamina. "By resolving many of the technical obstacles currently blocking the road to modern cell therapy, we expect this collaboration to accelerate the development of innovative cell culturing solutions that can possibly enable cell therapy."

According to an April 22, 2014, LAT report, it's an Eastern Conference kind of evening in the Association, as there are three intraconference 2014 NBA playoff games on the slate for Tuesday night. Fortunately for NBA basketball fans around the globe, Examiner.com has the latest Las Vegas betting odds, as well as the best free NBA playoff picks and predictions for each matchup.
First up, tipping off at 7 p.m. EST (6 p.m. CST/5 p.m. MST/4 p.m. PST) from Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind., the top-seeded (0-1) Indiana Pacers try and bounce back after dropping the opening game of its best-of-seven series against the No.8 team in the standings, the (1-0) Atlanta Hawks. Behind Jeff Teague's 28-point outburst, ATL stunned Indy to the tune of 101-93 on Saturday night to take home-field advantage right off the bat.
According to NBA oddsmakers at ESPN.com, Frank Vogel's team is expected to even this first-round series at a win apiece with a must-win tonight at home. Las Vegas' latest point spreads list the Pacers at -7 and the Hawks at +7 in the ATS betting department, while the OVER/UNDER is set at a combined total of 186½ points.
The second game on the Tuesday, April 22, NBA playoffs 2014 slate tips off at 7:30 p.m. EST north of the border. The Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Quebec, will host Game 2 of a very intriguing series between the sixth-seeded (1-0) Brooklyn Nets and the third-seeded (0-1) Toronto Raptors.
After suggesting the Raptors were the weakest link in the East, Jason Kidd and the Nets went into enemy territory and backed up their claim by drawing first blood. Deron Williams and Joe Johnson led the way for the road team with 24 points apiece, as Brooklyn took Game 1 by a final of 94-87.
Much like in the first matchup of Tuesday night, Las Vegas' NBA oddsmakers predict things will be knotted up before the series changes venues for the first time. It should come as no surprise that the Raptors [-5] come in favorites by two buckets over the visiting Nets [+5], while the OVER/UNDER tallies 190½ points on Canadian soil.
Finally, closing out a great Tuesday (April 22, 2014) night of NBA playoff basketball is a matchup between the fifth-seeded (1-0) Washington Wizards and the No.4 team in the conference, the (0-1) Chicago Bulls. Oddly enough, home-court advantage hasn't mattered much in this series either, with the host team dropping the opener, 93-102.
NBA oddsmakers, also following in the same line of thinking as the previews two games, predict that the home-club will redeem itself this evening. Listed as -5½-point favorites, the Bulls will try and avoid going down 0-2 against a Wizards team that will enjoy a +5½ ATS cushion tonight and an OVER/UNDER total of 181½ points.

Hosting a Halloween Party for Small Spooks
It's as easy as saying "boo!"
Decorate the house with traditional jack-o-lanterns and Indian corn, or go with a spooky theme and suspend fake cobwebs, bats and pretend witches. Let kids invite friendly spooks and goblins, turn on scary music, play a few games while you serve easy-to-prepare, kid-friendly snacks. Enjoy the party!
"My kids love having friends over for a Halloween party," says Ann Freebing, mom to five in Austin, Texas. "The gang has a place to go after trick or treating. They hang out, check out their loot, watch a scary movie, and feast on homemade treats. They can't wait."
Ghoulish steps for a perfect party
Plan ahead so all you'll have to do Halloween night is put on your costume, put out the refreshments, and start the activities.Four weeks ahead, have the kids help:
- Invite guests
- Decorate the house
Two weeks ahead:
- Decide what treats to make and serve; keep it casual with things you can prepare in advance (and remember to ask about food allergies)
- Ask kids to help choose music and a scary movie to watch
- Plan tried-and-true activities such as pumpkin carving and bobbing for apples
- Older kids will enjoy setting up a haunted house and planting spooky surprises in the bathroom, stairway, basement, garage, or back yard.
Two to three days before the party:
- Complete grocery shopping
- Baking and store goodies in airtight tins or freeze
- Set up the party room, haunted house, pumpkin carving area, etc.
The day of the party:
- Arrange the party room if necessary, set the table, organize drinks
- Make homemade Halloween face paint
- Set up a carving station and set out pumpkin carving tools, carving templates, markers, sponges and paints
- Arrange serving plates with home treats
- Set up music, DVD player, etc.
Whip up some edible face paint
- 3 tablespoons, plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons all purpose flour
- 5 teaspoons vegetable shortening
- 1/8 teaspoon food coloring
Stir together the cornstarch and flour in a small bowl, and blend in the shortening. Add food coloring, drop by drop, to desired color. Stir in the glycerin and mix well. To apply face paint, use a brush, fingers or a make-up sponge. Make additional batches for multiple colors.
Decide on devilishly delicious treats
Buy or make guaranteed kid-pleasers such as homemade cookies or a festive cake, brownies, cupcakes and rice crispy treats. Honor the occasion with pumpkin-flavored goodies. Or serve a meal with kid-friendly chili, mac 'n' cheese, or sloppy joes and coleslaw. Try these treats:

Aqua Vapor Electronic Cigarette DUO PCC Kit | Review
January 8, 2013 by admin - Jennifer
Filed under Reviews
Company: Aqau Vapor LLC
Item Reviewed: Electronic Cigarette DUO PCC Kit
Aqua Vapor Electronic Cigarette DUO PCC Kit:
- 2 – Longlife rechargeable lithium eCig batteries
- 1 – USB Electronic Cigarette Battery Charger
- 1 – USB Electronic Cigarette Wall Charger Adapter
- 5 – Cartridge/Cartomizers: (Choose Flavor and Strength)
- 1 – Electronic Cigarette PCC (Portable Charging Case) – Holds 2 batteries and 5 cartomizers and charges you battery up to 10 times while you are out and about
- 1 – 10ml bottle of premium e-Liquid for refilling cartridges
- 1 – Users' manual
- 30 Day Warranty
My Thoughts
This is the second electronic cigarette that I have reviewed, third I have tried. Aqua Vapor offers a fun twist for me with their offer of colored batteries, so mine is pink with a jeweled pink crystal that glows on the end when you inhale. Looking fancy aside, Aqua Vapor is a reliable e-cig that has great options on flavors. I tried out the menthol and I liked that it was a somewhat sweet menthol. I had both a pushbutton and non-pushbutton battery and I tend to lean toward the non-pushbutton one due to the fact that I always forget to push the button before inhaling, seems like an added step to using an electronic cigarette which to me is not needed. Battery life is a little longer than others I have tried and I like the PCC or Portable Charging Case because it allows me to have both batteries and cartomizers on hand at all times. I also tend to lean more toward pre-filled cartomizers as it comes ready to use. My husband likes the e-Liquid because it allows him to put in how much he wants (without going over the recommended drops). All in all Aqua Vapor has a solid electronic cigarette with long lasting batteries and great flavors in their cartomizers.
The thoughts and opinions above are 100% mine. I am not promoting smoking just providing information on an experience with electronic cigarettes.

We are in the last few weeks of our homeschool year and I have been debating whether or not to continue schooling during the summer months. As both the mother and teacher of our family I am definitely looking forward to taking a break. However, I am a little concerned about the children not retaining the new math skills that they learned this year. So, this is what I have decided.
The children will complete math worksheets and do some drills a few times a week. I have three kids who have spent a good part of the year memorizing addition subtraction, multiplication, and division. It would be a shame for them to lose that retention over the summer.
We will continue to check out and read books from our nearest San Antonio Public Library. Library visits are just a part of life for us. The children will be free to check out whatever interests them. We won't be reading about any particular school subjects while on break.
I will have the children participate in a summer reading program. The children might as well earn a reward for all of their reading. Check out the H.E.B. Summer Reading Program and the one at the library. They are both great options.
Hopefully we will visit at least one fun place that is also educational. I would love to go back to the H.E.B. Science Treehouse at the Witte Musuem. Or perhaps we will find a new "field trip" this summer.

It is tough enough going through our daily lives and having to solve the mystery of how to lessen our discomfort. We already heard from our doctor about dropping pounds and how it is necessary to manage stress correctly, but what about that transition period that it will take you to improve the condition, and arrive at the destination of great relief? Well the truth is both ice and heat are beneficial, but cause a completely different physiological response, and this we should pay attention to.
Grandma cannot be right all the time and usually applying a hot pack to all minor aches and pains was her solution to everything, fortunately for us modern science and plenty of medical research has showed that icing for our condition is better. The reason we hurt is because the whole area is inflamed, it's highly recommended that we first wrap a towel around the cold pack to prevent a burn on the skin and the apply for twenty minutes on and taking the next hour off. If this is done on a repetitive matter, the area itself will start to numb, which is what we want when intense pain is occurring due to a flare-up or our decision to do something we know we should have not done so. Applying cold to the region can calm down inflammation after a bump to the forehead from the car door or other traumatic injuries. On the other hand using a hot pack itself is not at all bad, but it is for a different type of issue since it gets the circulation going. It is simply wonderful for when you've had a tough day after climbing stairs or going for along walk, since it works to relax muscles. Treat your muscles to a bit of warmth; the thighs, hamstrings, and calves. But what about knee Arthritis? Alternating ice and heat is best, about every seven minutes with a decent break in-between. At Osteo Relief Institute all activities outside of the center will be reviewed so that maximum benefit can be achieved from the patient treatments performed within the clinic.

Phenomenal Headphones
Jul 22, 2011
By Chris MG
I bought these because the stock headphones that came with my Creative Zen had blown. I used those headphones for almost six years and every other pair that I bought (from chain places) seemed to severely lack any serious sound structure. I would continually have to turn my Zen almost all the way up to get any real sound out of them.
These little babies are phenomenal. They are very small and come with three sizes of rubber in-ear pieces that can be swapped out.
The first thing I noticed when I first used these was the superb way they cancel outside noises. I couldn't hear anything after I slapped these in, including my wife trying to talk to me from two feet away. I had to actually take them out to hear what she was saying, and that was before I even started playing any music. The other immediate thing was the enormous range of the bass. It's not too heavy and seems just right with my Zen on "Rock" setting, but it is deep. The mid-range is loud and boisterous without being arrogant and hurtful. The midrange can get washed out if the volume is too high, but that's at the levels of hearing damage anyway. The highs seem a small bit lacking, but too much treble is annoying to me anyway and hurts my ears. I'm not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination, but all-in-all, these are perfect for me and I'm extremely glad that I bought them. The sound is unbeatable for the price. Creative makes sound cards for computers and I believe that a company that does that must know about sounds and audio. These prove to me that I was correct in that assumption. Very pleased.
EDIT: It is now February 9th, 2013. I have now had this exact set of earbuds since July of 2011. They are still going just as strong as the day I received them. The wires have no wear on them and neither bud has blown. I am not exactly gentle with them either. The rubber covering is showing zero signs of wear and they are still very comfortable. I use these for everything. I work out and run with them on, I work on the engine in my vehicle with them on, I do dishes/housework/vacuum with them on - all with exactly zero problems. For this price, there is literally not a better deal. Maybe the 630's are similar, but I will stand by these 660's until the cows come home.
Edit #2: It is now June 8th, 2014 and these earbuds are STILL going strong. Even after the countless times they've been ripped from my ears while doing chores or cutting the grass, they still work as well as they did on the day I bought them. My wife continually yells at me that she can't talk to me while they're in, which is a testament to how well they still block outside noise. I even dunked one of them into a paint can as I was painting a wall in my new house. Took it out, ran water over it and still worked. The small rubber piece that covers the actual 3.5mm jack has started coming off, but I'll be honest, I paid $30 for these and they've lasted this long. Awesome.
Edit#3: As a response to someone who commented on my review - I'm not divorced yet and don't expect to be, so there's that. Now, on to the update regarding the product. It is now April 16th 2015, and I'm still using these earbuds. Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to buy a new pair. Yesterday, I think the left bud finally went out. I think that's the one I accidentally dropped in the paint can a year ago (and subsequently washed it out with a healthy dose of water). I've tried to tap it and blow out any debris from the small screen, but it just appears to be dead. I'm sad, because these have gone everywhere with me, but I will certainly order a new pair.

Very Good Sound, But Durability Concerns
Oct 27, 2011
By Philip R. Heath "Gadgets, Music, & Books"
Design: 2 Stars
Features: 3 Stars
Performance: 4 Stars
The Creative EP-660 earbuds are the latest mid-level offering from Creative. I have a pair of EP-830 that came with my Zen X-Fi mp3 player that I will use for comparison in this review. I was impressed with the sound quality of the 660's compared to the 830's which retail for $20 more. In listening tests that included rap (K'Naan), hard rock (Guns `N Roses), and blues (Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa) I found little to distinguish one from the other as far as reproducing sound across the full spectrum. I don't think you can ask for much more in terms of sound quality at this price point.
However, there is a catch. I have a number of durability concerns for the 660's. First, I wish that Creative would start to design angled plugs rather than the straight ones that both the 660's and the 830's share. The straight plug makes strain and bending much more likely when using with an mp3 player. In addition, the 660's seem even more fragile than the 830's. The cord connecting the plug to the earbuds is very thin. Further it is also very tangle prone. Based on these factors I would not recommend these for children or active use as they are unlikely to stand up to the strain. If you are looking for very good sound quality for stationary listening use by responsible users, the Creative EP-660 are a safe bet. I haven't heard anything that sounds as good for the money.

Good sound and noise isolation/blocking features, an improvement over the Creative 630's I have been using while traveling.

I spend a lot of time on airplanes and am always looking for earphones that are above average in noise isolation. For long flights I carry Bose Noise Canceling head phones. For short flights I prefer something more compact. I compared these headphones on a recent trip to Pittsburgh vs. the Creative EP-630 In-Ear Noise-Isolating Headphones (Black), which have been my standard travel headphones. Here's how they stack up:
Neither product used noise cancellation technology; that's reserved for much higher priced items. They use the rubber ear buds to block sound from getting in to your ear canal. The 660 produces slightly better sound quality. The bass sounds are a bit deeper and I was able to hear some of the background voices and instruments that are sometimes harder to hear with the 630. For example, with classical music I was able to better distinguish between some of the instruments. Please keep in mind that this is not a criticism of the Creative 630's, as they are far superior to similarly priced headphones from other manufacturers.
The one issue I have with the 660's is that they did not seem to fit as well in to my ears as the 630's. I felt that the fit was less than ideal and they more easily moved around in my ear, requiring occasional manual adjustments.
Both models seemed to offer similar levels of noise isolation (NOT Noise Cancellation), though the fit issue with the 660 came in to play occasionally.
Overall if you are willing to pay roughly double the price ($15.50 for the 630's vs $30 for the 660's) you will get the benefit of better overall sound quality.

Great Headphone

This product is pretty good for the money. The isolation feature is incredible, it blocks out any noisy disturbances you are trying to keep ignore. It is not too big and fits great without irritation if using for a long period of time. I'm not sure if the peculiar curved shape has anything to do with that. The bass is well balanced also and the audio is crisp thus far. My only problem with this headphone is the thinness of the wire. The wire is too soft and i fear it may break quickly over time. Not sure if it can take any rough handling. I would recommend this product for someone trying to get an inexpensive headphone for a good value.

These headphone are ok. I do own a pair of the EP-630 in which are a bit better than the 660.

Pretty nice looking CGI trailer of Starcraft 2 (check out more videos and images on their website).
Blizzard announced that Starcraft 2 won't be published in 2007. It's nice to see that they still hold the policy they had 10 years ago when first Starcraft was done. A quote from the past:
December 9, 1997 Bob McKenzie, Divisional Merchandise Manager, Babbages Etc., "Missing Christmas will not negatively affect a AAA title like Starcraft. The software industry needs to become a year-round business, instead of only focusing on the holiday-selling season. We are excited about starting off the new year with such an anticipated title on store shelves."
And a quote from their website FAQ about the release date of Starcraft 2:
May 1, 2007 At this point, it's too early to provide an initial estimate on the release date. As with all Blizzard games, we will take as much time as needed to ensure the game is as fun, balanced, and polished as possible.
We'll wait to see when they get the game out, and we wait when they announce the World of Starcraft…
