Observations on British and American English
by an American linguist in the UK
England and America are two countries separated by a common language.

Murphy's/Sod's Law
This is an illustration of Sod's law, which is the same law that Americans call Murphy's law ('anything that can go wrong will', etc.). The American name is older, having its origins in the first-half of the 20th century in the US military. (Stories of who the original Murphy was are best treated as apocryphal.) Sod's law came about in the 1970s, and is far more common on these shores than Murphy's law, which is nevertheless usually understood. It probably replaced Murphy's law because of the delicacy of Anglo-Irish relations. (Most Americans would claim that Murphy's law is not an anti-Irish gibe--but if your name is Murphy and you look Irish, you might have a different experience of this.)
Sod is short for sodomite and in this context is probably a play on God's law. It's commonly heard in poor sod--i.e., 'poor bastard' or in many of the places where a stronger vulgarity might be used--e.g. sod-all and sod off. As far as 'naughty' words go, this one is fairly mild these days, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of users of the word are unaware of its etymology.

Wow, you'd think 'sod's law' was a lot older than that, well I would anyway...

Well, it is possible that it was in speech earlier than that, but the OED has lots of earlier cites for Murphy's law, but Sod's law comes later.

Since you brought up that a Murphy who looks Irish might feel different about the word and I am a American Murphy who looks Irish, I had to say that I don't take offense at it nor do any of the Murphys I know. In fact, I've known Murphy's who have a fondness for it, in a joking "this is my law" kind of a way. In my opinion, anti-Irish sentiment, while common at one point is nonexistant today. Therefore, few Irish-Americans would be bothered by the etymology of something like "Paddywagon" since there is no longer a discriminatory culture againist the Irish and the US and hasn't been for several generations.

I'm not saying that I'm offended by it, but that the notion that there was a connection between Irishness and things going wrong is something that I've been exposed to, as a Murphy who looks Irish in the US. It probably depends a lot on generational factors and where one lives. I don't believe that people who use the term generally think of it as anti-Irish and in almost all contexts, it's not.

Wikipedia has plenty to say on Murphy's Law, and almost everything about it is debatable, but there's no doubt that the Murphy part is connected with an individual Murphy, an American of Irish origin.
This article also denies that Murphy's and Sod's Laws are the same thing. Stephen Jay Gould claimed that paleontologists generally, even American ones, use the latter term.
- 03 January, 2007 00:29
I can categorically tell you that Sod's Law has been around centuries before 'Murphy's Law' which the American contractor coined after the engineer (Surname Murphy) this was based on the precept of Sod's Law, but by changing it thus being humerous. The OED is not the fountain of all knowledge and quite often has mistakes.

Categorical telling is not evidence though. Would you like to share yours?

(NewsUSA) - Many Americans would rather die than experience a stroke, but a stroke isn't always a devastating blow. Today, millions of thriving, happy stroke survivors lead fulfilling lives.
Early detection proves key. Amazingly, one sign of a stroke is a stroke. A Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), or mini-stroke, leaves no permanent disability.
TIAs produce only mild stroke symptoms, so many of the 250,000 to 350,000 Americans who suffer TIAs each year dismiss the experience. But patients should consider TIAs a ringing alarm bell -- more than one-third of the patients who have a TIA will later stroke.
Doctors can determine patient's stroke risk after a TIA. Dr. Clay Johnston of the University of California, San Francisco, worked with the National Stroke Association to develop the ABCD2 tool, which predicts short-term stroke risk within two days of a TIA.
Patients should ask their doctors about the ABCD2 tool, which is available for free download from the National Stroke Association Web site at www.stroke.org/ABCD. With the tool, doctors use five factors -- age, blood pressure, TIA symptoms, TIA duration and diabetes -- to assign their patient a score. The higher the ABCD2 score, the higher a patient's risk for stroking two, seven, 30 or 90 days after a TIA.
TIAs typically last less than 24 hours. If patients experience a TIA, they should seek further medical attention -- early measures can prevent disability or death from stroke.
The symptoms for a TIA and a stroke are the same. If a patient experiences, or a loved one notices, any stroke symptoms, they should immediately call 9-1-1.

Since 2000, the Triangle Institute for Security Studies (TISS) – a consortium of UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke, and North Carolina State University - has hosted an annual two-day conference called the "Junior and Interdisciplinary Faces of International Security." The objective of the TISS "New Faces" project is to foster a generation of future leaders capable of bringing to bear on national problems keen powers of analysis and an ability to communicate with a wide range of audiences. To that end we invite a small group of scholars from a variety of fields to speak at our "New Faces" Conference. They are chosen from a pool of applicants from across the nation and beyond. If they come from the United States or Canada, their travel expenses are paid for by TISS. There is no registration fee.
To qualify to speak at this event, students must have just completed, or be nearing completion of, their dissertations and must have a record of proven excellence. At the conference the participants give what amounts to an "off-Broadway" preview of their job talk. After each presentation, a faculty member and a graduate student (one from within the speaker's field, the other from without) offer focused comments. The participant then engages in an extended question and answer session with the audience, composed of an eclectic mix of local faculty, graduate students, and members of the Triangle Institute for Security Studies.
Our next conference will be held on Friday, September 20 and Saturday, September 21, 2013 at the Friday Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. You are warmly invited to apply – the deadline is April 6th, 2013. Application forms and further details about the program can be found by going to the TISS web site and following the links from the home page – www.tiss-nc.org.

So, who's going to be the sixth team for the GPF? There's V/T, K/S, D/R, P/T, B/L and...?
Yeah, they shouldn't get positive GOE, but everything else they did was quite strong.
Though the final lift looked hilarious (because it was an overhead shot that foregrounded Vera, so she looked ginormous).
That is probably the strongest free I've ever seen these two skate. SBS jumps still need work badly but both stayed upright throughout. They will get (and deserve) gold.
The backstage stuff was odd. Mt/M knew they'd lost, they knew it was fair, so it's clear that the anger (and Kirsten seemed angry) was self directed. But still. Tonally wierd.
Congrats to BazLar! Vera looked so charming in K&C.

Broadhead Marks 10 Years of Growing Success with Expanded New Offices
Broadhead Marks 10 Years of Growing Success with Expanded New Offices
It's been said that the best minute you spend is the one you invest in people.
Dean Broadhead knows this all too well, as evidenced by his commitment to invest in top-notch talent for the past decade. It's just one of many reasons the communications agency that bears his name is celebrating 10 years in business with a move into a new 20,000-square-foot office space in the Colwell Building in Minneapolis.
"I'd like to think I have a patented formula for success that I can attribute to my years of experience and education," says Broadhead. "But in all honesty, what distinguishes this agency day-in and day-out is an experienced staff."
Such thinking has resulted in the agency more than doubling in size in the last three years. Even more impressive is that only 10 years ago, Broadhead started his agency as a solo act, operating out of a converted spare bedroom.
Forty employees later and with a great deal more square footage than the spare room in the house, Dean Broadhead is still enjoying the ride.
"It's been a thrilling 10 years, but I firmly believe the best is yet to come," says Broadhead.

The Buffalo State volleyball team played for a conference championship and automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament for only the second time in its history Sunday afternoon.
But the magical ride ended for the Bengals, who made too many unforced errors against 17th-ranked Cortland, which earned a 26-24, 25-20, 25-21 victory in the State University of New York Athletic Conference championship game at the Buffalo State Sports Arena.
The Bengals played well in spurts, but lacked the consistency necessary to generate the momentum to sustain a lead.
"I think it was a lot of mental errors," second-year head coach Maria DePeters said. "I thought that we played more like individuals than we did like a team. That goes hand in hand with the mental aspect of the match. We were just making our own errors."
"Maybe it came down to we were too excited," said junior setter Kelsey Bashore. "There's a couple points where we could have just relaxed and recovered a bit from mistakes but it was just a really fast game today. I don't think we had the time in the match to recover."
Bashore finished with 22 assists and 11 digs. Sherrell McLean (City Honors), the lone senior on the team, had nine kills for the Bengals. Sophomore Sam Parente had eight kills and five blocks.
Freshman Kayla Pyc (Grand Island) had five kills and six blocks while junior Chelsea Moore (Kenmore West) had 28 digs.
Parente and Moore were all-tournament selections.
At 26-8 overall, Buffalo State has a chance to nab an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament when the field is announced this morning.
Whether they make it or not, the Bengals had an impressive season. This was their first appearance in the SUNYAC title game since 1997. The 26 wins is the third most in school history. And perhaps just as intriguing is that the Bengals return all but one player next season.
"Sherrell is a big loss in the middle. She played phenomenal for us this year," DePeters said. "But with having a full starting roster come back next year it makes me very excited and anxious to see what we're going to do and what we're going to accomplish next year.
"When I came into the program, my biggest thing was the love of the game, because at Division III we don't play for scholarships," DePeters said. "We play because we want to play and to make a family out of the team. And that's what the girls are. They're a family on and off the court. And when you have that in your program you just see essentially magic on the court."
Medaille wins title
Medaille will make its first NCAA tournament appearance in women's volleyball after the Mavericks defeated regular season champion Penn State-Behrend in the finals of the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference.
The Mavs dropped the first set, 19-25, then came back to win the next three, 25-18, 25-10, 25-21. Senior Meghan Fahy paced the Mavs with 25 kills, 17 digs and four blocks.
Medaille started the season 0-6 but used an 11-match winning streak to get to the title game.
Medaille (17-12) will learn its opponent in the NCAA Tournment when the bracket is announced at 11 a.m. today.

So, you may or may not have seen the recent article about Bioware's MMO and it's struggle to remain relevant by adding a whole planet of gaiety. If not, here's a link.
I think Jim put it very well when he said,
So, here's my tempered reaction: I have no lost love for Bioware. I have never particularly liked their games, aside from Mass Effect 2, so I may be a bit biased. That being said, this is just an icky, icky way to add this kind of content to a video game. Shoehorned in doesn't even begin to describe it. Not only that, but it's shoehorned in a way that even Bioware, notable for their shoehorning in of queer content, has never stooped to. I'm not even going to get into the fact that Bioware's super happy sunshine policy of queer inclusion in their games has yet to produce a transgender or gender non-conforming character (correct me if I'm wrong), not that I'd want to be represented by them.Quote:
"BioWare's intentions and past record doesn't make the situation cool in any way, but in a world of entertainment where "person is gay" is still considered both a joke and the punchline to the very same joke, it feels wrong to pour overwhelming scorn on a studio that's at least trying, in its own awkward way. It shouldn't be free from criticism, either, but I dare say the reaction could benefit from being a tad more tempered."
What do you all think? This thread can springboard from this particular instance to LGBT representation in games in general.

Babylegs will keep your baby's legs covered...and more!
Michelle from North Bay, Ontario (Canada) asks us...
Q: So what exactly are parents using their BabyLegs for?
In a word, everything! Besides being stylish and simply adorable, Babylegs are truly practical, as well. Rough surfaces can be hard on little knees when your baby is starting to crawl, particularly if you have carpeting or hardwood. Babylegs are the answer providing extra padding and protection for crawling babies and helping to keep knees rash-free. For newborns, they can be used to add that extra layer of clothing under pants on cold days, and even under under your Toddler's shorts for that layered-look on days that they really should be wearing pants. There will be less battles when your child gets to pick out which leggings they will wear that day!Help stop Gapiosis! We think BabyLegs are the greatest babywearing accessory around, and we're sure you will agree. When your little one is riding in a baby carrier, pants tend to ride high leaving a "gap" of exposed leg (nicknamed "Gapiosis"). Babylegs help to keep your baby covered without adding bulk to you or your tiny hitch-hiker.
One of our favorite uses for Babylegs is actually indoors. Besides helping to protect little knees and legs from rough surfaces, baby legs are a great item to have on hand when your little one is under the weather. Diaper changes are so much more comfortable when you don't have to completely undress your baby. With Babylegs you have easy access to change your baby and her body temperature will remain warm during the change. With so many innovative uses for this items, you'll want to have at least a few pairs on hand at all times. BabyLegs are LOVED by moms AND Babies.
Feel good about your purchase - leg warmers that have a multitude of other uses when you're done with them:
- Ice pack cover
- Over an IV in the hospital
- Strap cover for a car seat
- To cover wine bottles
- To protect golf clubs
- On your pet dog or cat to protect an injurty
- To decorate a cast & keep it from rubbing
- Hand puppets
- A water bottle cover
- To protect sunglasses or a camera in a diaper bag or glove box
Made in China of a soft cotton/polyester blend.

Perfect shower gift!! Review by Nicole
Price Value Quality
I bought five different designs of the baby legs and ended up giving away three as shower gifts and each person that I gave them to were so excited to receive them. My daughter is almost 2 so they fit her perfectly right now and look really cute with a skirt. I went into my sons room one morning (he's 3) and found him in a pair of baby legs, that was in the winter so he kept them on all day under his blue jeans. They're great for warmth and stylish on their own. Unfortunately I don't think they are very boyish so these are all for my daughter! (Posted on 7/5/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
Love Babylegs! Review by CINDY
Price Value Quality
I have bought some other legwarmer brands but nothing beats Babylegs for softness and stretch in my opinion. I have many pairs for my girls and now that I have a boy, I have some for him too! There are some great boy prints. They are great to add warmth without extra bulk in the cooler months. When babywearing, his pants often come up and these cover that gap! For girls they are perfect under a dress or skirt to make an extra adorable outfit. (Posted on 1/3/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!

on January 19, 2013 - 12:15 AM
On the ice, 18-year-old Mikhail Grigorenko has spent the week on the Buffalo Sabres' third line between veterans Steve Ott and Ville Leino. In the crowded dressing room, he's spent it on a chair in one corner as the only player without his own stall.
But after practice Friday in First Niagara Center, veteran assistant equipment manager George Babcock was putting the nameplate "Grigorenko" over the stall of departed defenseman Adam Pardy and moving some equipment into the locker.
"Doesn't mean anything, doesn't mean anything," Babcock said as some television cameras started shooting the empty locker. "Just not sitting at a chair."
Uh-huh. A few minutes later, General Manager Darcy Regier walked into the media room unannounced and told reporters that Grigorenko will be on the roster to start the season and whether he plays in Sunday's opener against Philadelphia will be a "coach's decision."
Lindy Ruff, standing on the side of the room, failed to hide his smirk. The kid is playing.
"I'm real happy that I'm on an NHL team now," Grigorenko said a few minutes later when told of the team's decision by The News. "I'm really excited."
Grigorenko has looked completely comfortable in camp all week, showing good hands, strong skating ability and a solid shot. Ott and Leino have said how impressed they've been with him, with Leino even making some comparisons to former Detroit teammate Pavel Datsyuk. A crowd of more than 10,000 gave Grigorenko the loudest cheer during the shootout of Monday night's open scrimmage.
"I feel really comfortable with them," Grigorenko said of Ott and Leino. "Ville is a real skilled guy and he can give you amazing passes. Steve is a real good player, really tough. I feel he'll protect me. He plays amazing defense. I really enjoy playing with him."
"Mikhail has had a good week," said Ruff, who won't commit to playing Grigorenko Sunday.
Asked for an analysis of what he's seen, Ruff said, "Good playmaker. He defends well for a young player. He's defending against his teammates. You'd love the opportunity to see him in an NHL game against other players but he does have awareness. He understands the game. His strength is his playmaking. He's shown that. You wish you had time to see him in games but you don't."
Grigorenko can play five games before the Sabres have to make a real decision on him. Either they keep him and kick in the first year of his entry level deal or they send him back to junior hockey, where he posted 50 points in 30 games for the Quebec Ramparts.
Martin Biron and Jay McKee both appeared for the Sabres as 18-year-olds in 1995-96, Biron for three games and McKee for one. But as far as regulars go, the last 18-year-old with a consistent spot in the Buffalo lineup was Pierre Turgeon, who had 14 goals and 28 assists in 76 games in 1987-88 after being taken No. 1 overall in the draft.
"I don't think somebody should wait for me to score five goals or something," Grigorenko said with a laugh. "Every time I'll be on the ice all shift long I need to do my best. Don't do something I can't do. Play good defensively. As soon as I have the puck, try to create something offensively."
The Sabres set their 23-man roster Friday by putting Nathan Gerbe (back) and Cody McCormick (finger) on injured reserve. Pardy cleared waivers and reported to Rochester. Kevin Porter and Nick Tarnasky, who were playing with the Amerks, also cleared and will continue AHL play.
The Sabres are hoping to catch some lightning in a bottle with Grigorenko, given that he's played all season in juniors and was a star for Russia in the World Junior Championships. Many NHL veterans, of course, have not played a game since April.
"I have game shape. I wouldn't say it's an advantage over them but I'm sure it will help me and be easier for me," Grigorenko said. "Those first games not all the guys will be in this game shape."
When the Sabres took Grigorenko 12th overall last June in Pittsburgh, it was considered a steal because most draft experts had him labeled as a top-5 pick. Grigorenko said his goal would be to prove the Sabres right for taking him and other teams wrong for passing him up. He's about to get his chance in front of the home fans.
"It's going to be a great, great crowd here," Grigorenko said. "Hopefully I will score and it would be awesome to hear my name."

Many Durango area residents might not recognize my mother by name, but they knew her as �The Disney Dollar Lady.� She loved to give Disney dollars to children she saw at Walmart, and everywhere she went. Parents would try to pay her for them, but they were a gift of joy. Mother wanted to see delight in children�s faces, and the gift was in the giving. One little girl of 6 wrote, �Thank you� on a restaurant napkin for my mother. She had been given a Disney dollar a year before by my mother and remembered her.
Mother loved visiting Disney World, and the dollars were the perfect remembrance of those wonderful times. She wanted others to share in the wonder. She sometimes gave the dollars to adults but they were often unsure of the intention and meaning of the dollars. Once they understood they were gifts, they, too, were delighted.
If you received one of the Disney dollars, remember the delight you felt when it was given to you. They may be worth only a dollar at Disney, but they are priceless in the joy they gave Mother.

The Lowdown on Garage DoorsFebruary 1st, 2014
People keep their money in banks or in vaults and their jewelry in safety deposit boxes. It's natural to safeguard valuable possessions somewhere protected with strong doors that can't be pried open by anyone unauthorized. That's why people keep their keep cars in the safety of the garage. But what good is a garage without a good door?
What is it?
The garage door is one large door (or several panels) that opens either manually or with the help of an electric motor. It is made up of two parts: the door itself and the garage door openers.
In the Beginning
The first documented existence of garage doors was in 450BC when chariots were stored in a structure protected by gates. Their first appearance in America was in the 20th century. Since then, the popularity has increased and almost all American homes are installed with one. Their usefulness and convenience cannot be overstated.
The Sad Truth
The garage door is, arguably, the most important door in the house, and one that is most seen by people. However, it is possibly the most neglected part of the home. As the famous saying goes, "If it ain't broke, why fix it?"
However, this door, which we usually take for granted protects our cars from damage and thieves and also, in a way, protects your home with your family in it. That being said and with the stakes so high, homeowners should take time and make sure theirs is efficient and doing what it's supposed to do.
Tips and Tricks
Taking care of your garage door isn't a complicated task. You just need to ask yourself a couple of questions every now and then.
1. How old is it?
2. Is there water damage? Are there any cracks?
3. Does the door come back up after closing it?
4. Are there any unusual noise coming from it when you open/close it?
Once you identify the problem, you can now determine the fix – repair or replace.
Hefty costs for replacing your garage door can be avoided if you regularly check their efficiency. You can also avoid accidents and keep your home and your family safe. Here are a few simple tips.
• Before driving away, always make sure that the door has completely closed. Make sure there is no one trying to get in or out while it is closing.
• Install the wall switch out of reach of small children.
• They need to be lubricated properly. Do this at least once or twice a year. While you're at it, check all the hinges, screws, nuts and bolts.
• Conduct a safety check every 30 days.
• All the members of the family should be briefed on how to use it.
Always remember that prevention is always better (and less expensive) than cure. Keep your garage doors in good working condition and keep your car, your home, and most especially your family safe.
Did You Know?
• The word garage officially became a dictionary word in 1902. It came from the French word garer meaning to shelter.
• The inventor of the overhead door was C.G Johnson. He did it in 1921. 5 years later, he also invented the world's first automatic garage door.
• The most common colors for it are white, blue, and brown.
• Modern models now have insulation that can save a lot of energy (and hundreds of dollars in electric bills!), especially in summer and winter.
• Real estate agents all agree that a fully functional and beautifully designed garage door can increase the market value of your home.
• The most recent models work even if power is out.

The Elements of Bioinformatics received four stars. Learn more about this and other websites below.
The Internet is a big place; when you're looking for biotech-related websites, where should you start? At GEN's Best of the Web, of course! Every other issue, we bring you a list of biotech- and biopharma-related websites we think you, GEN reader, would find useful and/or interesting. Here is our most recent list of the Best of the Web. Enjoy!
Four stars: Excellent
Three stars: Very Good
Two stars: Good
+ Strong points
– Weak points
+ Clean site design, frequently updated
– Cannot browse by topic
Cells—miraculous little things, wouldn't you say? As the building blocks of all living things, cells are increasingly finding time in the spotlight due to their clinical importance. Not only can they be grown in cultures, they can also be grown in the lab to make organs and can also be given directly to patients as cell therapy treatments. The Cell Trials website lets readers stay up-to-date on the latest in the cell therapy field through blog posts about cell therapy clinical trials, stem cell research, regenerative medication, and other related topics. The site is cleanly designed and minimalist, presenting the blog articles in chronological order, with the newest at the top of the page. The right-hand menu bar allows users to click to "featured posts" or recently made comments, although there is no option to view posts related to a given topic. Instead, one can only enter keywords in the search field.
+ Great visual display, links included
Ask a number of researchers working in genomics about their favorite sequence analysis and bioinformatics tools, and you'll no doubt be inundated with a variety of genome browsers, genome assembly tools, and gene prediction tools, among other types of resources. With so many tools available, it is sometimes difficult to keep them straight; however, Eagle Genomics has created an excellent online resource to do just that. The Elements of Bioinformatics brilliantly organizes and summarizes a large number of bioinformatics tools via a Periodic Table-like display. The tools are organized into sixteen categories such as genomic assemblers, databases/warehouses, and gene prediction tools for mRNA and ncRNA, all of which are color-coded according to a key given above the table. The table is further divided into open source tools, tools free for academics only, and commercial tools. Clicking on any individual "element" brings up a short summary of what the tool does, other relevant information (such as compatible operating systems), and a link to the download.
+ Large amount of information for a broad audience
At the website for the Entomological Society of America, insect lovers everywhere will find something to sink their teeth into. Through its many educational and informational resources, the website casts a broad net to appeal to a diverse audience including the general public, teachers, researchers, and aspiring entomologists. (Of course, there is also a great deal of members-only information for people belonging to the organization.) Many of the resources can be found on the "about entomology" page, which divides the resources into groups for the public, for teachers, and for scientists. Some of the resources include an insect name database, interviews with entomologists, a list of insect collections and museums in North America, and a freely downloadable "discover entomology" brochure. Additionally, the site offers the organization's newsletter, career and student resources, and a number of entomology networks open to anyone (including nonmembers).
+ Variety of free bioinformatics tools
– Many tools not cross-platform
As a leading institution in medical training and clinical research, it is appropriate that the Mayo Clinic is also taking a leading role in the development of new bioinformatics tools for genomic data. The Bioinformatics Program at the Mayo Clinic has made its software packages freely available for academics on the Bioinformatics Software Packages website. There are currently 14 software packages available on the site. To briefly highlight a few, BIMA is a mapping/alignment tool designed for next-generation sequencing; ESNV-DETECT uses RNA-Seq data to identify sequence variants; and GENOMESMASHER allows users to create "diploid" FASTA sequence files containing genetic features such as indels and SNPs that can be used to test next-generation sequencing pipelines via in silico simulations. Site visitors should be aware that many of the tools require LINUX or a cluster environment.
+ Downloadable data, unpublished results
The Center for Cancer Systems Biology (CCSB) at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute has invested (and continues to invest) a great deal of time and resources in mapping binary protein-protein interactions, as evidenced by the CCSB Interactome Database website. On this website, one will find information about efforts to map the human interactome, the flagship project of CCSB, as well as updates on various other mapping projects of the Center, such as those to map virus-human protein interactions and binary protein interactions in either A. thaliana or C. elegans. The website includes descriptions of each project (including progress reports), links to resulting publications, and access to unpublished data. For each individual interactome database (such as the virus-human database), one can search for specific interactions and download the complete datasets.
+ Large number of specimens, videos, and image stacks
There is no shortage of "eye candy" in biology, with the many high-resolution imaging and image reconstruction techniques. At embryoimaging.org, curious onlookers can peruse image stacks and movies of 3D reconstructions of mouse embryos collected by high-resolution episcopic microscopy (HREM). The website highlights an ongoing project to generate comprehensive 3D reconstructions of mutant and wild-type embryos to address a gap in the anatomical literature and ultimately facilitate phenotyping. At present the site contains an assortment of wild-type specimens collected at seven different time points, from E9.5 to E15.5. Additionally, the website also contains datasets for close to one hundred mutant mouse lines. Site visitors can browse the data in either image stack or video form. In stack form, the images load one-by-one and there is no continuity between them; the videos, on the other hand, show either the continuous projection through a given image stack or the 3D reconstruction of the embryo.

on February 1, 2013 - 11:34 PM
, updated February 2, 2013 at 2:04 PM
MONTREAL – Thomas Vanek has always been good at hockey. Always. From youth games to juniors to college to the pros, he's been a standout on every team for which he's played.
But there's something different going on now. He's making the game look like child's play. In fact, it's almost exactly like he's back to his childhood.
While growing up in Austria, Vanek quickly outgrew his country's hockey system. He played on teams with 16- and 18-year-olds when he was 12 and 13. He dominated so much that he had to leave.
He moved to Canada when he was 14 so he could find competition, and he dominated there, too, recording 76 goals and 112 points in 40 games.
The Buffalo Sabres' high-scoring left winger isn't quite on that pace this season, but he's not far off. Vanek has 15 points in his opening six games, numbers that made the NHL name him the Third Star of January on Friday.
He's making everything look easy.
"Even when things look easy, it's never easy," Vanek said after practice in Bell Centre, where the Sabres visit the Montreal Canadiens this afternoon.
A return to Austria may have helped Vanek recapture that childhood dominance. He played 11 games overseas during the lockout, putting up five goals and 15 points, but the style of play was more important than the numbers.
European rinks are 210 feet long and 98 feet wide, much bigger than the 200-by-85 that are customary in the NHL. Vanek needed to be more creative to get closer to the net. Creativity is helping to carry him with the Sabres.
Twice during Buffalo's 7-4 victory over Boston on Thursday night, Vanek bounced the puck off the boards and danced around a defender to retrieve the carom. The first led to an assist, the other to his third goal in a five-point night.
"A lot of guys can make plays at slow speeds, but he makes some of the best plays when he's moving full speed or the play's moving quickly," center Cody Hodgson said. "That's really when you see some of the brilliant plays he makes."
Vanek entered Friday's schedule as the top point-producer in the NHL, and he ranked second in goals (six) and assists (nine). He's had two five-point games, becoming the first player since Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux (Pittsburgh, 1992-93) to accomplish the feat in his team's first seven games, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
"It would be more fun if we had a better record," said Vanek, whose club is 3-3-1 after the comeback victory in Boston. "It's probably not where we want to be, but at the same time it was a good game for us. We just have to build off at that."
The 29-year-old has been extremely calm during his chart-topping start.
He's experienced hot and cold streaks during his eight seasons in Buffalo, and he knows ice can follow the fire. Still, his efforts have been pulse-quickening.
He's been physical, knocking down players to start scoring plays. He's been tough, withstanding whacks in front to deflect pucks into the net. He's been deft, making on-the-tape passes while skating on the rush or flying through air after getting tripped. He's been accurate, scoring on 21.4 percent of his shots and burying one-timers.
"He's playing at a high level, but it's just what Thomas has always been capable of doing," said goaltender Ryan Miller, who has been Vanek's teammate since they played in Rochester in 2004. "It's not a surprise for anybody."
Vanek has been quick to credit his linemates, Hodgson and captain Jason Pominville, for making him look like an MVP.
"I was in a good spot for a lot of the plays," Vanek said. "I've made plays like that before, but the puck just wasn't going in for whoever was shooting it. I think right now it gets magnified because whenever I'm passing guys are scoring and I'm getting credit for an assist. As far as that, I just take them as it comes.
"I think the biggest thing as a line is we talk so much – in practice, off the ice, on the ice, between shifts. I think that's a big difference. When you can communicate, be honest with your linemates, it's just going to help us out, and right now it's going well."

8 Cutting-Edge Fashions That Are Clearly Practical Jokes
If you ever need a quick pick-me-up, look no further than the fashion community. The fanciest designers consider themselves "avant garde," which is French for "What Would Bowie Wear?" The problem with this design philosophy is that the only person who can pull off David Bowie's clothes is David Bowie, and maybe Mick Jagger. So for every 10 cool Naomi Campbells or Kate Mosses walking down the runway, there is at least one poor person who is clearly the victim of a practical joke, completely oblivious to the fact that she (or he) is the punchline.
The good news for us is that there are lots of pictures to laugh at.
#8. She Blinded Me With Fashion
If the eyes are the window to the soul, then avant garde designers are architects of atheist dungeons. Every one of them has come up with at least 10 ways to obstruct their models' eyesight. It's almost like they're in a secret Beautiful Blindness Olympics and their models are the contestants. It's not enough to just wrap a scarf around a woman's head like she's the Invisible Man trying to make a discreet getaway:
Any moron with a set of knitting needles and a disregard for human dignity can accomplish a complete head wrap. It takes imagination to only obscure the eyes in the most interesting way possible. For example, American designer Rick Owens used his model's own hair to create a reverse hair burka, or "hurka."
Apparently the designer ran with that moment when you're walking down the street and a hurricane hits you in the face. What ordinary humans would see as an awkward faux pas, fashion journalists saw as "compelling" and "otherworldly." So maybe the joke's on us because we place too high a premium on the gift of sight. Belgian designer Martin Margiela came up with multiple ways to prevent his models from seeing where they were walking. One was a rigging so cumbersome that it had to be rolled out onto the catwalk, and it featured a model who possessed either a backward head or the curse of hirsutism.
Every other model in the show looked like she was almost cast in The Ring but didn't quite make the cut. You know how some people laugh when they're scared? The audience at this fashion show could have been mistaken for a Def Comedy Jam crowd.
But even Margiela can't compare with Lutz Huelle's Fringe Attack of a Jacket. If it were possible for a blazer to drink hair tonic from a Bugs Bunny cartoon, this is what you'd get. Seconds after this picture was taken, the fringe consumed her, then took over the rest of the room before turning on itself.
Not only does the model look like an alternate reality's version of a sassy Western cowboy, but her point of view must have resembled a scene from The Shining. Would you want to make eye contact while your world is dripping with red fringe? Probably not.
#7. The Completely Serious Hula Hoop Purse
Either this woman is straddling two worlds that are only accessible by a magical yet chic portal, or she is definitely carrying a purse made of hula hoops. I suspect the latter. Designer Karl Lagerfeld tried to play it off like a beach tote, complete with the sunglasses and bathing suit and strappy patent leather heels we all wear when going to the beach, but you and I know better. Hula hoops are heavy. Hula hoops plus towels plus an entire watermelon (another beach staple) would be impossible. I don't know what fantasy world you're living in, Mr. Lagerfeld, but in the real world, we make our beach bags out of old grocery bags and tiny, manageable portals to other worlds.
The best thing about this purse is picturing someone living her day-to-day life trying to use it. For example, what would it look like if a regular person used this purse while trying to send a fax at Staples?
Or trying to get into a car?
Or out of a car?
It's hard to be chic when your purse is sabotaging your graceful exits and entrances. And good luck finding your keys at the bottom of that thing, ladies. If, on the other hand, you get the urge to stop everything and do some old-fashioned hooping with a stick, this is probably the best purse to suit your needs. Just empty your bag out before you start.
#6. The Dress That's a Plumber's Nightmare
Some fashion designers are all about complementing a woman's body. Others want to use the body as a canvas for art. Dutch designer Iris van Herpen is interested in neither prospect when it comes to making dresses. She asks herself questions like "Is this garment Bond-villainy enough?" and "What would it look like if you fell into a snake pit and then time froze and you were stuck like that?" and "Is it time for shellacked turds to get their own dress?" For Iris van Herpen and Bjork, it's always Turd Dress O'Clock.
If you've ever worried that your clothes will begin writhing up into your face and choke you, consider not buying this garment. If you take hallucinogenic drugs, this dress should be on your "no" list. If you've ever imagined yourself as Queen of the Giant Earthworms or wanted to wear Medusa's head for clothes, this is the dress for you. Bonus: The dress can also double as a walking maze.
And believe it or not, this is an exact scale model of the human digestive system.
#5. The Pinata Poncho
Poor, poor stoic man-model. Surely when he signed up for modeling school, he had no idea that one day a Flemish designer would stuff him in an Easter egg pinata and make him walk in front of people. He was just a little boy in a model classroom, learning how to pout and avoid bread and wear silly clothes without crying. Now look at him. He's nothing more than a floating head presiding over a psychedelic mop orgy. The saddest part is that immediately after this show, the model wandered into a child's birthday party and met a grisly fate.
Jeffrey Coolidge
Sorry, that's not correct. The saddest part of this outfit is what he's wearing underneath it. (More mops -- but the ones that clean up the toddler bathroom stalls in preschools.)

According to the October 2005 issue of U.S. News and World Report, Chalfont was rated the 3rd toughest town in all of America. The publishers did not release the names of the top two toughest towns, for fear that the citizens of Chalfont would feel compelled to change things. Never before in the history of mankind has a small town churned out so many superior athletes, dating back to the early days of Mike Pettine C.B. West Football. While the dynsasty formerly known as Bucks Football has faded recently, the dominance that is Chalfont has spread to other areas; from the newly built C.B. South Titans to the quartet of "Chalfont's Finest" that led La Salle to their best season in years. While there are differing views as to why Chalfont has become a hotbed for talent, scholars maintain that it is a classic case of the environment shaping the individual. The toughness of each citizen rubs off on the young ones, and naturally they excel in their respective athletics. Outsiders may contest that their town may be tougher than The Font, but chances are those outsiders have never had a taste of Chalfont's finest dish: THE KNUCKLE SANDWICH.
Last record of conversation with Natalee Holloway:
"Wow that was a great trip, but I need something more exciting. Chalfont seems like a fun place, right?"

Offer made for baseball field's naming rights
May 9, 2013
A company has reached a verbal agreement to place its corporate name on Bowman Field, paying the city $30,000 a year for five years, but the deal must be reviewed by several government bodies before......

This should been a public bid. IMHO it appears to be a back room negotiation.

According to our Mayor, no one else other than the business that apparently they reached a deal with was even interested. (Maybe because it's Williamsport?)
On a side note, he had nothing to say about the continuous burden he's placing on citizens with taxes, the hockey fiasco, the rising rate of shootings within the city, or anything of those types of importance. Most of his responses were 1 sentence in length after his initial "Omg you hurt my feelings" response to my initial email.

He also said that whatever business agreed to the deal, is the only business that would agree to keep 'Bowman Field' in the name. He doesn't say whether the deal they took was actually the best offer or not.

According to Mr. Campana, yes I actually emailed his office this morning and firstly, he's upset that not every email he gets is a kiss a**, you're doing the best job any mayor ever has type email, he says he's been working on this deal for over a year. He says that other clubs do in fact make more money on similar deals but the difference is that they aren't short season clubs.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Seriously what is wrong with Campana? He has real control issues and needs to be shown the door. He worked on a deal to bring the city money? That's great! But take a step back and get some help reviewing it in a timely manner. Don't shove it down everyone's throat b/c you "can't see why anyone would deny it". You are NOT a business man. Your hockey deal proves that!

And, Lee, probably not. If I understand the problem correctly, the issue is with the condition of the field and after yesterday's downpour and more on the way your kid won't be able to play there.

Naming rights for sports venues is common and needed revenue for local municipalities which often shoulder some financial burden for those venues. It would be easy enough to find out what other similar ball parks are getting. Perhaps someone here would have the time to do that and report back. It would be interesting to have the facts instead of supposing guilt or stupidity. (Still not a fan of Gabe, but at least this helps the city coffers.)

I concur with fromtheport. OBVIOUSLY the "good doctor" is an expert in elementary education--- NOT business management. One would hope that he learned a valuable lesson as a result of the last "fly by night outfit" that took the City for a ride--- BUT one never knows whose back is going to be scratched by our mayor. SOME of his appointments to city administrative positions clearly display that his favors aren't based on quality and solid performance ---just a thought.

Hate to see the name Bowman field go away. Used to go there to see the Grays. And who can forget 3 Dog Night. 30,000 seems in the ballpark for a very short season minor league club and the other extremely small fan base sports. Bottom line, IMHO,*****it up, keep the field named Bowman.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
$30,000 a year??? Listen I know this is not a Major League team or an NFL team but when you put it in perspective, Pro Level teams get paid MILLIONS to rename their team. $30,000 doesn't equate at all for what a minor league level team should be getting. Typical of our local government. Some how, just like it's being done via the School district, this is going to screw the citizens again.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Campana, just take a step back and let someone else review the deal, your nilly-whilly style of manageing this city is harmful believe it or not, now i have no idea what naming rights are worth, but I am guessing this is the first offer you got and your pressing for it to try wipe the memories of the money you lost us on the hockey team. I am also guessing that this first offer is extremely underpriced for nameing rights and in a few weeks we will learn the realvalue could be twice what we are getting, and why be secretive about what company it is? Just asking for you too slow your roll on this issue so the city doesnt get ripped off again.

Frontier Communications has awarded $15,000 to support Harman School in improving the technology skills of students, parents and adult students in the rural Randolph County Community.
Reta Griffith, general manager for Frontier, presented a check to school officials Monday at the Randolph County Board of Education meeting. Harman school is in Northeastern Randolph County and serves students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
School officials said the grant will allow them to purchase computers and software for the business education lab, and it will prepare students, parents and adult learners for success in the 21st century.

Representatives from Frontier Communications give $15,000 to Harman School Monday at the Randolph County Board of Education meeting. The grant will provide students and the community with more digital tools. Pictured, from left, are Dave Armentrout, Harman School business instructor; Tammie Daniels, Harman School principal; Reta Griffith, Frontier Communications general manager; John Mutscheller of Frontier Communications; and Delegate Bill Hartman, D-Randolph.
"At Frontier, we appreciate Harman School's mission to educate the community's children and also provide learning opportunities to parents and residents," Griffith said. "This grant will help the school acquire technology that takes advantage of our broadband connection and the exciting educational opportunities that now are available to them through the Frontier network."
Terry George, interim superintendent of Randolph County Schools, noted Frontier's involvement in supporting education.
"Frontier Communication has played a vital role in providing broadband access throughout the communities of Randolph County," George said. "With the assistance of the West Virginia Department of Education, RESA 7 and Frontier Communications, the federal Broadband Technology Opportunities Program has been a success for our rural areas receiving broadband access. Frontier Communications has also awarded grants to a number of schools in Randolph County for advancing technology in our schools and classrooms."
Dave Armentrout, business education instructor at the school, said each student and community member needs technology skills to succeed.
"As teachers, we need to provide those necessary skills by developing new ways of implementing technology into our school systems to expand their education by providing the necessary equipment and software programs to do so," said Armentrout, who applied for the grant. "Technology advancement has dictated what and how we should teach, and having access to the latest technology in our business education program will allow for greater opportunities for everyone at Harman School."

The cost of food today shocks me. My parents worked hard becoming self-reliant, saving a portion of my father's yearly salary and growing most of our foodstuffs. Growing up in rural Cowlesville during the Great Depression, my father made cheese for Hasselbeck Cheese Co. in a one-man-and-wife cheese factory. He earned a penny per pound, plus all the milk, butter and cheese his family needed.
To augment our food supply we raised a couple of pigs, some chickens and grew a huge garden. We canned fruits and vegetables to feed the family all year. In autumn, we picked peaches, pears, apples to make cider and cabbage for sauerkraut. As the weather cooled, we slaughtered our pigs and made pork sausage, canned meat, smoked our hams and bacon in our own smokehouse and rendered the lard.
With our chickens and eggs, we never needed to buy meat. We often traded pork for beef from a neighboring farmer who slaughtered a cow. We made ice cream with a hand-crank ice cream maker. In the summertime, we picked mushrooms, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries and made jelly and jam.
In winter, mom baked bread, sweet rolls and pies. The wood oven always warmed the kitchen and filled the air with a wonderful aroma. Also it augmented heating the house with the wood we cut in nearby woods. Father always said, "Wood warms you twice – when you cut it and when you burn it."
Occasionally we went to the Red and White store to buy sugar, flour, coffee and gasoline.
During the Depression, and especially World War II, Cornell University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture emphasized farm management and home economics. Extension agents taught farmers efficient farm management, and women agents came to local Home Bureaus to disseminate information on nutrition, handling foods, home gardening, poultry production, nursing and sewing to help families survive the economic downturn.
Victory gardens were popular with 4-H clubs during the war. For my 4-H project, I bought 24 duck eggs. We had brood chickens, and they sat on these eggs, hatching them. My responsibility was raising them. I was so intrigued that I always checked the eggs for ducklings. Dad said, "Don't count the chickens before they hatch." However, all 24 eggs hatched ducklings. I sold the ducks and netted $25. I thought I was rich.
It is estimated that 15 million farm families planted victory gardens in 1942 and 1943. Some 20 million victory gardens produced more than 40 percent of the vegetables in America.
Today it takes two family incomes working longer hours to enjoy our standard of living. We now buy more consumer goods and electronic gadgets.
Maybe we should stop for a moment and ponder our past. Now community groups in cities are experimenting with garden plots.
I had the great experience of working for 12 years in Russian agriculture after the collapse of communism. Nobody went hungry. Out of necessity, the people in rural areas had to become self-sufficient. Since most of your friends and neighbors were doing the same, everyone worked together and helped each other. I felt like I was back in Cowlesville in the '30s. It was like going home again.

Police: Gunfight Causes Deadly Vegas Crash
Gunshots fired from a black Range Rover on the Las Vegas Strip early Thursday caused a Maserati to crash into a taxi, creating a fireball and killing three people as the SUV sped away. (Feb. 21)
Jabberwocky: -- The Holy Saudi Arabia Kingdom containing Mecca, the center of all Islam, is the birthplace of Muhammad. This is the Holy Saudi Kingdom's plan. Promote Sharia Law and Islam worldwide through conquest and immigration. Even to the western nations. Now 1.6 billion strong. It's their religion, folks. These Sunnis are the richest individuals on Earth. Money can buy for them, whatever they want. They have purchased our government. Now one million Sunnis flowing into Europe last year alone. The only time in all of history. The Sunnis have purchased the EU government, as well. Causing revolts such as Brexit in Great Britain. Get this one........London, England; of all places, now has a Muslim Mayor. --The Clintons and the Bushes are much closer than they let on. Why? Because they are all highly paid operatives for the Sunni Muslim Leaders in the Middle East Oil Countries. --Don't believe it? Our government knew all along that Sunnis are all radical Islamists. Our national leaders are never withou factual information, especially when it is that obvious. It's public record, Hillary received 100 million dollars from Those Sunni Leaders. She called for more "Arab Spring" while constantly labeling the Sunni Killer Mobs as "democracy loving protestors". And how many millions in his secret Swiss bank account, would it take for Bush, our standing president at that time, holding hands and to kiss the Saudi leader? How can that happen with a US President? There are pictures. Search---GW kisses Saudi image --Now....think about how much this bunch of US presidents have done for rich Sunni Muslim Middle East Leaders over these many years. All those secular dictators across the Middle East were enemies of these rich Sunni Muslim Leaders. Now ALL those secular dictators have been challenged and many were killed by millions of Sunni Muslim thugs during "Arab Spring". Trying to establish Sharia Law like that which is law in their rich benefactor, the Holy Saudi Arabian Kingdom. Also in Qatar, Kuwait, Dubai, Oman, Bahrain, and The United Arab Emirates. All are in the same oil-rich vicinity and neighbors to one another. EACH AND EVERY ONE of these Sunni Nations, I have listed, have donated many millions to the Clinton Foundation.

MVB Improves to 4-0 After Win Over Mount Olive
MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. – The Ball State men's volleyball team earned a 3-1 win (25-19, 26-28, 25-22, 25-20) over the Mount Olive Trojans Friday evening at Kornegay Arena. Three Cardinals registered double digits in kills to help earn the fourth win of the season.
The Trojans dropped their first set and match of the season, while the Cardinals improved to 4-0.

The senior right side hitter had a .412 hitting percentage (21-7-34) to go with six assisted blocks, three service aces and three digs. Outside hitter Shane Witmer added a season-high 12 kills off a .391 average (.391). The sophomore was one dig shy of a double-double, getting under a team-high nine digs. Junior middle attacker Matt Leske was the third Cardinal to register double digits in kills, with a season-high 10 kills, to go with a .467 hitting percentage (.467) and five assisted blocks.
Junior middle attacker Kevin Owens added eight kills to go with a career-high nine assisted blocks. Freshman outside hitter Jack Lesure tied his career-high with five kills. Junior setter Graham McIlvaine had 43 assists and three assisted blocks.
The Cardinals held the lead throughout the first set and hit at .577 (17-2-26), while the Trojans hit a .167 clip (9-5-24). The second set saw the Cardinals drop to a .300 percentage (14-5-30), while the Trojans improved to .375 (18-6-32). The third set both teams dropped, with the Cardinals hitting at .226 (16-9-31) and the Trojans at .130 (9-6-23). Ball State tightened up in the fourth set for a .526 clip (14-4-19) while the Trojans managed a .217 percentage (11-6-23).
The Cardinals held the advantage in blocks (14.5-10), digs (25-22), kills (61-47), assists (56-46) and service aces (7-6). There were 30 ties and eight lead changes throughout the match.

"Life-Saving" Lessons to Be Learned
Whether it's swimming, boating or fishing, summertime is water recreation time for millions. Safe Electricity reminds everyone to avoid electrical hazards during water recreation. Electricity is essential energy —it keeps us cool in the summer, lights our house, keeps the refrigerator cold, and runs the TV, stereo and computers. But electricity also can be dangerous. It doesn't' take much electricity to hurt someone. The electricity that runs through your home is enough to kill an adult.
Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are one form of protection from electrical hazards. GFCIs detect dangerous situations where a shock may occur, and cut of power to prevent shock. Any situation where electricity is used in close proximity to water is a shock hazard. You should have GFCI protection on underwater lighting circuits, lighting around pools, and hot tubs and spas. Safe Electricity offers the following tips to stay safe in or around swimming pools:
When you leave the pool, don't change the radio station or touch any electrical appliances until you are dry —never touch any electrical appliances when you are wet or standing in water. If children wish to play with sprinklers or hoses, emphasize that they should be set up well away from any electrical outlets or appliances. In most instances, if potential safety hazards are taken into consideration and handled proactively, accidents and deaths can be avoided.
Electricity and water are dangerous around larger bodies of water as well. If you plan to go boating or fishing this summer, be aware of your surroundings and potential electrical hazards.
Always check the location of nearby power lines before boating or fishing. Contact between your boat and a power line could be devastating. Maintain a distance of at least ten feet between your boat and nearby power lines to be safe. Your boat's wiring should be in compliance with American Yacht Club Standards. If you are not qualified to work on your boat's electricity, hire a professional.
If your boat does come in contact with a power line, never jump out of the boat into the water— the water could be energized. Instead, stay in the boat and avoid touching anything metal until help arrives or until your boat is no longer in contact with the line. Be sure dockside outlets have GFCI protection and check cords that are plugged into them to make sure there is no broken casing or exposed wires.
Check for the location of power lines before fishing. Make sure you are casting the line away from power lines to avoid contact.

This is the first year for the benefit organized by Theresa Mike in conjunction with Jason Pugh of the Mountain State APA. Their goal is to raise a good sum of money for children in need this holiday season and make the benefit a tradition for years to come. (Photo by Devin Bezeredi)
