Current–voltage characteristics of Al/Rhodamine-101/n-GaAs and Cu/Rhodamine-101/n-GaAs rectifier contacts by Ö. Vural; N. Yıldırım; Ş. Altındal; A. Türüt (679-683).
The organic compound Rhodamine-101 (Rh101) film on an n-type GaAs substrate with carrier concentration of 7.3 × 1015 cm−3 has been formed by means of the evaporation process, and thus Al/Rh101/n-GaAs and Cu/Rh101/n-GaAs contacts have been fabricated. Our aim is to realize a modification of Schottky barrier height (SBH) of the devices using a thin non-polymeric organic compound layer. The Al/Rh101/n-GaAs and Cu/Rh101/n-GaAs contacts have behaved like rectifying contact with the SBH values of 0.68 eV and 0.72 eV, and with ideality factor values of 2.61 and 2.60 obtained from their forward bias current–voltage (I–V) characteristics at the room temperature, respectively. It has seen that the SBH values obtained for these devices are significantly different from those obtained for the conventional Al/n-GaAs or Cu/n-GaAs Schottky diodes. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the trapped-charge-limited current is the dominant transport mechanism at large forward bias voltage.

Laccase-catalyzed synthesis of optically active polyaniline by I.S. Vasil'eva; O.V. Morozova; G.P. Shumakovich; S.V. Shleev; I.Yu. Sakharov; A.I. Yaropolov (684-689).
One step, simple and environmentally friendly enzymatic synthesis of optically active polyaniline in the bulk solution and on the surface of glass slides (in situ deposition) was developed. Fungal laccase from Trametes hirsuta was used as the catalyst of the oxidative polymerisation of aniline. The reaction was carried out under aerobic condition in the weak acidic aqueous solution in the presence of the chiral dopant, such as (S)- or (R)-camphorsulfonic acid. The doping/de-doping procedure of optically active polyaniline was reversible. It was shown that a chiral conformation of the polyaniline was quite variable, and the optical activity of the polymer could be changed by the replacement of camphorsulfonic acid enantiomer in the polyaniline structure.
Keywords: Optically active polyaniline; Enzymatic oxidative polymerisation; Laccase; Aniline;
Synthesis, optical and electroluminescent properties of an alternating copolymer of triphenylamine and fumaronitrile by Lijun Huo; Zhan'ao Tan; Xiang Wang; Minfang Han; Yongfang Li (690-695).
A new conjugated alternating copolymer of triphenylamine and fumaronitrile, TPA–FN, was synthesized via Heck coupling reaction and characterized by GPC, UV–vis, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The polymer film showed two absorption peaks at ca. 370 nm and 500 nm, respectively, and a narrow bandgap of 1.72 eV. The photoluminescence spectrum of TPA–FN film displayed a main peak at ca. 724 nm and a shoulder peak at ca. 808 nm, indicating that the polymer could be a near-infrared luminescent polymer. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed a lower LUMO energy level of TPA–FN at −3.85 eV. The lower LUMO level could be ascribed to the introduction of the electron-withdrawing fumaronitrile with two cyano groups attached to trans-vinylene, and it favors the electron injection for the application in the polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs). A single-layer PLED based on TPA–FN was fabricated and the device showed the turn-on voltage of 6 V and the maximum luminance of 136 cd/m2 at 11.5 V.
Keywords: Conjugated polymers; Near infra-red electroluminescence; Narrow bandgap polymer; Triphenylamine; Fumaronitrile;
Aniline-based bis(enamines) as new amorphous molecular charge transport materials by E. Puodziukynaite; E. Burbulis; J.V. Grazulevicius; V. Jankauskas; A. Undzenas; V. Linonis (696-701).
A series of new aniline-based bis(enamines) has been synthesized. The full characterization of their structure is presented. The thermal, optical and photoelectrical properties of the newly synthesized enamines are discussed. The reported compounds constitute materials with high thermal stability with 5% weight loss temperatures exceeding 390 °C as characterised by thermogravimetric analysis. They form glasses with the glass transition temperatures ranging from 135 to 154 °C as established by differential scanning calorimetry. Photoelectric properties of the materials were examined by electron photoemission and time of flight technique. The electron photoemission spectra of the layers revealed the ionization potentials of 5.12–5.70 eV. Room temperature hole drift mobility of one newly synthesized derivative molecularly doped in bisphenol Z polycarbonate reached 10−5 cm2 V−1 s−1 at high electric fields.

Conductive potassium feldspar/polyaniline composites prepared by in situ chemical polymerization by Sevil Çetinkaya; Meral Karakışla; Ali Özer; Mehmet Saçak (702-707).
Conductive potassium feldspar/polyaniline (K-feldspar/PAn) composites were prepared by the chemical polymerization of aniline in the presence of K-feldspar particles using potassium dichromate in an acidic aqueous medium. The effects of K-feldspar particle size, aniline concentration and temperature upon the PAn amount in the composite and the electrical surface resistance of the composites were examined. Electrical conductivity was higher in the composites prepared by the smaller K-feldspar particles in which the PAn yield is low. The microhardness values of K-feldspar/PAn composites increased to a certain PAn content and then decreased. The microhardness of the composites containing PAn in the range of 1–6%, which were prepared by K-feldspar having particle size smaller than 0.125–0.250 nm, was higher that of pure K-feldspar and PAn (0.843 kPa). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that PAn covered the surface of K-feldspar particles with an unsmooth PAn layer. The characterization of composites was also made by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

Synthesis and study of nonlinear optical properties of oxazolone containing polymers by Vitaliy Smokal; Robert Czaplicki; Beata Derkowska; Oksana Krupka; Aleksey Kolendo; Bouchta Sahraoui (708-712).
The oxazolone derivatives were synthesized and their structures determined by UV- and H NMR-spectroscopies. The polymerization was carried out in DMF with AIBN as initiator. The products of polymerization were characterized by H NMR. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of oxazolone containing compounds have been investigated in solutions using degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) method at 532 nm.

A binuclear aluminum(III) complex: Thermal stability, photophysical, electrochemical and electroluminescent properties by Liang Chen; Juan Qiao; Lian Duan; Yong Qiu (713-718).
A novel binuclear aluminum(III) complex with acylpyrazolone derivative as ligands, bis(salicylidene-o-aminophenol)-bis(4-benzoyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one)-bis-aluminum(III) [Al2(saph)2(PMBP)2] was designed and synthesized. A detailed study was carried out on its thermal stability, photophysical, electrochemical and electroluminescent properties. It was found that the introduction of 4-benzoyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one (PMBP) ligands improved the thermal stability remarkably. Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on this Al complex as the sole emitter and the host for red dopant were fabricated. Bright green-yellow emission was observed from the device using Al2(saph)2(PMBP)2 as the emitter and the electron transporting layer. Pure red emission peaked at 632 nm was obtained from the Al2(saph)2(PMBP)2 doped with DCJTB [4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-tertbutyl-6(1,1,7,7,-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4H-pyran] device with a luminance efficiency of 1.51 cd/A at 200 A/m2. No light from Al2(saph)2(PMBP)2 was found, indicating that the matched energy levels provide an efficient red emission system in Al2(saph)2(PMBP)2 device. Those results demonstrated that Al2(saph)2(PMBP)2 might be a promising material for OLEDs.

A new polythiophene derivative with highly sensitive and selective affinitychromism properties by Massimiliano Lanzi; Paolo Costa Bizzarri; Luisa Paganin; Gaia Cesari (719-725).
A new poly(3-alkyl)thiophene bearing a piperidinic moiety in the side chain was synthesized in different ways with satisfactory yields in soluble fractions at high molecular weights. The chromic behaviors of the different polymeric samples were studied by UV–vis spectroscopy in different solvent/non-solvent mixtures and in the presence of some analytes; a strong affinitychromism toward bicarboxylic acids was observed. The good chromic response and its independence from the structural parameters of the polymer indicate the development of a very useful and easily obtainable colorimetric tool for the quick, sensitive and selective detection of diacid molecules in organic solvents.

Swelling of poly(3-alkylthiophene) films exposed to solvent vapors and humidity: Evaluation of solubility parameters by J. Jaczewska; I. Raptis; A. Budkowski; D. Goustouridis; J. Raczkowska; M. Sanopoulou; E. Pamuła; A. Bernasik; J. Rysz (726-732).
White light interferometry was used to determine the swelling of poly(3-alkylthiophene)s (P3ATs), with different head-to-tail regioregularity, exposed to different volatile compounds (VCs): humidity, cyclohexanone, tetrahydrofuran and chloroform. Film expansion increases always from regioregular R-P3DDT, R-P3HT to regiorandom P3BT, P3DDT. Regular solution approach was used to determine Flory–Huggins interaction parameter between P3ATs and VCs. Solubility parameters δ P ∼ 16.9 ± 0.8, 15.3 ± 0.4, 13.1 ± 0.3, and 12.5 ± 0.2 MPa1/2 evaluated for P3DDT, P3BT, R-P3HT, and R-P3DDT, respectively, were confirmed by the values extrapolated from surface tension data. Evaluated δ P values should allow an easier strategy for P3AT solution processing aimed at optimized film structure of P3AT polymers and their blends.

Templated polypyrrole electro-polymerization: Self-assembled bundles of bilayer membranes of amphiphiles and their actuation behavior by Kazuhiro Kagawa; Pu Qian; Akihisa Tanaka; Timothy M. Swager (733-738).
The electrochemical properties of conducting polymers are highly dependent on the microstructure. We report a method to produce specific microstructures of polypyrrole through electro-polymerization in the presence of the amphiphile N-{11-(2-hydroxyethyldimethylammonium)undecanoyl}-N,N′-dioctyl-l-glutamate, bromide, which forms supramolecular hydrogels with pyrrole in aqueous solution. These hydrogels were used as templates during polypyrrole electro-polymerization to give microstructures composed of the bundles of bilayer membranes. The highly porous nature of these films resulted in electrochemical properties superior to polypyrrole deposited under the same condition without use of an amphiphilic template. Analysis of the scan rate dependence on cyclic voltammogram reveals that the porous templated films facilitate fast diffusion of dopant ions. The actuation properties were also investigated in aqueous solutions containing sodium p-toluene sulfonate electrolyte. The strains displayed by the template polypyrrole films were twice those synthesized without the use of a template.
Keywords: Polypyrrole; Self-assembly; Electro-polymerization; Actuation properties;
Study on energy transfer in organic multilayer well structure by Jinzhao Huang; Zheng Xu; Suling Zhao; Haina Zhu; Dandan Song (739-742).
Photoexcited energy transfer in organic multilayer well structure devices in which Alq3 is the well layer material is discussed in terms of the different barrier layer materials, the well number, the wavelength of excitation light and the thickness of well layer. The photoluminescence intensity from the Alq3 layer is enhanced and that from the barrier layer is weakened in the devices with the multilayer well structure compared with the conventional double-layer structure as a result of effective Förster energy transfer from the barrier to the well. The photoluminescence characteristics of organic multilayer well structure devices are investigated in detail.
Keywords: Organic multilayer well structure; Energy transfer; Photoluminescence;
New host materials with high triplet energy level for blue-emitting electrophosphorescent device by Joo Hyun Kim; Do Yeung Yoon; Ji Whan Kim; Jang-Joo Kim (743-750).
A series of new 9-phenylcarbazole (Cz-Ph)-based host materials with 1,2,4-trizole (TAZ) were synthesized for blue-emitting electrophosphorescent device. The substitution position of Cz-Ph on TAZ ring did not influence photoluminescence maximum (band gap) but the triplet energy level (T 1). The electron mobility of 3,5-bis-(3-(9-carbazoyl)-phenyl)-4-(4-butyl-phenyl)-4H-[1,2,4]triazole (6) is 10 times higher than the hole mobility. This is due to the electron transporting/hole blocking characteristics of TAZ moiety. The triplet energy level of the new host materials ranges from 2.8 to 3.0 eV which are suitable for blue-emitting electrophosphorescent devices. The time-resolved photoluminescence decay curve of 4% of FIrpic (iridium(III)bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,C2′]picolinate) doped in the film of compound 6 showed a single exponential decay curve with a lifetime of 1.2 μs. The absolute PL quantum efficiency (η PL) of 6 doped with 4% of FIrpic was (82 ± 2%), which is significantly higher than the case of commonly used CBP (4,4′-bis-(9-carbazoyl)-biphenyl) (44 ± 2%). These results also strongly support that triplet excitons formed in FIrpic was not transferred to 6. For a device based on 6 (ITO/PEDOT:PSS (40 nm)/NPB (15 nm)/6:6% FIrpic (30 nm)/BAlq (35 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm), the maximum photometric efficiency was 14.2 cd/A at a current density of 1.1 mA/cm2, which is higher than that observed with a device based on CBP (ITO/PEDOT:PSS (40 nm)/NPB (30 nm)/CBP:6% FIrpic (40 nm)/BAlq (30 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm)).

Preparation of polyaniline–Fe2O3 composite and its anticorrosion performance by S. Sathiyanarayanan; S. Syed Azim; G. Venkatachari (751-757).
Polyaniline–Fe2O3 composites were chemically prepared by oxidative polymerization of aniline in phosphoric acid medium with ammonium persulphate as oxidant. Different ratios of aniline–Fe2O3 were taken to prepare polyaniline–Fe2O3 composites, i.e. 1:2, 1:1, 2:1. The composites were characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM. Using the prepared composites, primer paints with acrylic binder were prepared and coated on the steel samples. The corrosion protection ability of the coating was found out by EIS method in 3% NaCl solution. It has been found that the coating with composite of 1:1 ratio of aniline:Fe2O3 is found to offer higher protection than the coating with other ratios and plain Fe2O3.

First preparation of optical quality films of nano/micro hollow spheres of polymers of aniline by Everaldo C. Venancio; Pen-Cheng Wang; Osiris Y. Toledo; Alan G. MacDiarmid (758-763).
In the present study, an experimental procedure used to prepare high-quality, transparent, uniform thin film of a new nano/micro material, a new type of polymer of aniline, is described. The method was used to prepare, for the first time, a solid-state thin film of nano/micro material for various types of studies, such as ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemistry. The UV–vis spectra showed that the as-prepared solid thin film of the nano/micro material was apparently not protonated when it was formed in an acidic solution of pH 3.0 since no change in the UV–vis spectrum was observed when it was treated with a deprotonating solution of 1.0 mol dm−3 of ammonium hydroxide. To our surprise, it was found that the UV–vis spectrum of a nano/micro material deposited on a glass slide was completely different from its solution UV–vis spectrum when the film was dissolved in NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone). The SEM studies showed that the thin film consists of rod-like nanostructures as well as nano/micro spheres. The electrochemical studies showed that the thin film of the nano/micro material deposited on ITO surface presented only one redox process in the potential interval of −0.20 and +0.80 V (versus SCE) in the presence of 1.0 mol dm−3 hydrochloric acid.

Effect of weight reduction pre-treatment on the electrical and thermal properties of polypyrrole coated woven polyester fabrics by H. Tavanai; A. Kaynak (764-769).
Weight reduction increased the amount of deposited polypyrrole (PPy) on the polyester (PET) fiber surface, leading to a considerable decrease in electrical resistance and improved heat generation capacity for the PPy coated PET fabrics. Application of dc voltages to an insulated roll of PPy-coated fabric increased the temperature to about 90 °C. This showed the suitability of these fabrics for heating applications. The optimum PPy deposition of about 2.8% was obtained in samples weight reduced by aqueous sodium hydroxide treatment. AFM images revealed a smooth surface morphology of the untreated fiber whereas the treated fiber had a high surface roughness.

Structure, electronic and optical characterization of oligothiophenes terminated with (9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)methyl chromophores by Vladimír Lukeš; Martin Matis; Daniel Végh; Martin Štefko; Pavol Hrdlovič; Viliam Laurinc (770-778).
The synthesis, spectral measurements and theoretical study of oligothiophenes terminated by (9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)methyl chromophores at the one (series A N ) and both (series B N ) ends are presented. The electron absorption and fluorescence spectra of prepared molecules were measured in polymer matrices and chloroform solution. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of the investigated systems are represented by broad band without vibrational structure. Well detectable fluorescence is observed for the compounds of the B N family. The experimentally observed medium large Stokes shifts (less than 5000 cm−1) indicate restricted geometrical changes in molecular chain upon optical excitation. Experimental lifetimes of fluorescence are shorter than 1 ns. Theoretical calculations have been performed at the semiempirical Austin Model 1 (AM1) and density functional theory (DFT) levels of the theory. The planarisation of dihedral angles between the fluorene and thiophene chromophores upon optical excitation theoretically was characterised, as well.
Keywords: Thiophene–fluorene derivatives; Syntheses; Electron absorption spectra; Fluorescence spectra;
Electro-assisted precipitation of electrolytes in poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) film by Peng Hou; Dongxue Han; Zhijuan Wang; Guifu Yang; Xiaoyu Xu; Li Niu (779-783).
The electrolyte, NaBF4, can be enriched into the matrix of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) film during the p-doping potential cycling between 0.6 and −0.9 V. It has been demonstrated that this enrichment is originated from the mixed ion transfer between doping and dedoping, i.e. BF4 − anion migrate into the PEDOT film during the oxidation process, the Na+ cation insert into the film during the reduction process, and then, the electrolyte is accumulated into the film matrix after the multiple CV cycling. The quantitative analysis of energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) confirmed the enrichment of NaBF4 in the PEDOT film.
Keywords: Mixed ion transfer; Electro-assisted; Conducting polymers;
Preparation and characterization of polyaniline/nano-Fe3O4 composites via a novel Pickering emulsion route by Qi Xiao; Xiaoke Tan; Lingling Ji; Jing Xue (784-791).
Polyaniline/nano-Fe3O4 composites were prepared by a novel solids-stabilized emulsion (Pickering emulsion) route for the first time. The products were characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR spectra and particle size analyzer. Sphere-like morphology and sub-micrometer fibers of polyaniline/nano-Fe3O4 composites were synthesized in a toluene/water emulsion stabilized by Fe3O4 nanoparticles. It was found that the morphology of the resulting PANI/nano-Fe3O4 composites depended not only on the volume ratio of toluene to water (R), but also the amount of Fe3O4 in the reaction system. A possible mechanism for the formation of the different morphologic composites has been proposed. The room-temperature conductivity of PANI/nano-Fe3O4 composites also depended not only on the volume ratio of toluene to water (R), but also the amount of Fe3O4 in the reaction system. In addition, it was found that the magnetization under applied magnetic field for the as prepared the PANI/nano-Fe3O4 composites exhibited a clear hysteretic behavior, and both M S and H C for the PANI/nano-Fe3O4 composites exhibited a decrease with decreasing the nano-Fe3O4 content.

King Arthur 2: The Role-Playing Wargame Cheats
[Edited by thenewman, 1/28/2012 2:43:08 PM]
I'm getting a huge update again this morning. This update is larger than the game itself, very strange.
Will post if the trainer doesn't work in the new version.
I can't seem to get the trainer to work with the skidrow version of the game. According to the game my version is 1.0.05 so I downloaded that corresponding trainer version, afterwards I read the nfo and I tried to follow the instructions.
With the DX9 executable when trying to activate the trainer at the main menu the game just crashes immediately, while for the DX10 and DX11 executables the trainer activates without any problems but when I start a new game and try the options they don't seem to work.
I think this is caused by the skidrow *cookie* that they used to make the game work.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Q: Why did Amtrak bypass Amarillo?
A: Amarillo was on its way to losing passenger rail service before Amtrak even existed.
Railroads reported losses for many years from running passenger trains, required by the federal government if companies wanted to keep lucrative freight lines.
In 1970, a new, quasi-government entity called National Railroad Passenger Corporation took over the planning and operation of all passenger service in the United States, according to press reports at the time. Rail companies got relief by ending their service to many cities, including Amarillo, in exchange for stock in Railpax.
Railpax was the first brand name for the service. An advertising firm came up with the Amtrak name for better customer appeal, according to Amtrak's Web site.
The new service used some of the existing routes like the combined Super Chief and El Capitan that ran from Chicago to Los Angeles via Raton, N.M., and Albuquerque, N.M., despite lobbying from Amarillo officials for a more southern route through the city. That left Amarillo without service for the first time in 85 years, according to Amarillo Globe-News files.
"Scenery won out over the speed and convenience of flat-land railroading," wrote longtime Amarillo Daily News Editor Wes Izzard.
More than half of existing rail passenger routes ended service, including the Santa Fe Railway's through Amarillo, when Amtrak took over on May 1, 1971.

Call them ladies of the Senate – Ottawa Senators, that is. Hilary Duff and Carrie Underwood were spotted in Canada Wednesday night, rooting for their hockey player boyfriends, Mike Comrie and Mike Fisher, respectively.
Underwood, 25, was seated behind Duff, 21, at the Scotiabank Place as their beaus' team, the Ottawa Senators, beat the Tampa Bay Lightning. Fisher scored the winning goal and reportedly said after the game when asked about Underwood, "Yeah, maybe it was a birthday gift for her, I guess."
Duff and Underwood have become fixtures at their boyfriends' games: "I'm the crazy lady sitting in the crowd screaming my head off," Duff said recently. Underwood first publicly cheered on her boyfriend last month.

I've got YDL 3.0.1 up and running. My machine is PPC5500/225, 128RAM,
USB card installed in PCI slot.
When booting into YDL I hear part of the 'intro chimes' but it gets cut
off. On first boot I got a dialog box that seemed to indicate no sound
card found. There's definitely a sound card there. It works under MacOS
9.1 but not YDL. I can't find an online "how to" at the YDL site. Can
anyone help on this one?
Second issue is the ethernet card. Apparently it's a DEC (Digital?)
card. I ran the config as root and activated the configuration. What do
I have to do to get it to find my DLink router so I can connect to the
net? The router also has a print server connected to an HP LaserJet 6L.
Any recommendations on setting the printer up? I've also got an HP AIO
PSC750C which is usb. I'd like to use that under both Mac and Linux. Has
anyone had success with the AIO?

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Pluripotent stem cells have great potential for use in regenerative medicine and are an important tool for understanding developmental and disease mechanisms. Unfortunately, properly characterizing these cells in order to maintain experimental consistency is proving to be a time-consuming and difficult task. The defining characteristics of pluripotent stem cells, which include embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, are straightforward: their ability to self-renew and differentiate into ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm germ layers. What makes characterization challenging is that heterogeneity within a given stem cell population can cause variability in the differentiation into important downstream lineages, such as cardiomyocytes and hepatocytes.
To account for this high level of functional variation, verifying the pluripotency of stem cells—from the generation of a new cell line through its expansion for an experiment—is crucial. The most widely accepted method for determining whether a population of cells is truly pluripotent is the teratoma assay, that is, verifying in vivo a cell population's ability to differentiate into each of the three germ layers via teratoma formation in mice. This method is time-consuming and costly, but failing to properly verify the cells can prove even more costly. Time and resources spent expanding stem cells are wasted if the resulting population is not functionally pluripotent. To address these difficulties, R&D Systems has developed new tools that aid in the verification of stem cell pluripotency during derivation, maintenance, and expansion.
Generating iPS cells requires colony selection and cell expansion. Manually picking colonies that contain pluripotent stem cells is possible through an analysis of colony morphology. Colony picking is a tedious process, as it is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, colony morphology is not truly indicative of pluripotency, since cells that are not fully reprogrammed can have similar morphology. The inherent unreliability of using colony morphology alone as a pluripotency indicator likely contributes to a significant amount of wasted effort.
The GloLIVE™ Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Live Cell Imaging Kit and individual GloLIVE antibodies available from R&D Systems allow you to verify the pluripotency status of your stem cells by monitoring the expression of both positive and negative markers (Figure 1). The kit contains a set of azide-free, fluorochrome-conjugated GloLIVE antibodies that recognize two positive markers and one negative marker of human pluripotent stem cells. These antibodies are added to live, unfixed cells in a single-step assay that takes only 30 minutes and has no adverse effects on stemness or proliferation. This kit, used in combination with the analysis of colony morphology, promotes the selection of high-quality, undifferentiated stem cell colonies, thereby reducing wasted time.
Figure 1. Verification of pluripotency in live human induced pluripotent stem cells: iBJ6 human induced pluripotent stem cells were grown on irradiated mouse embryonic fibroblasts (R&D Systems; Catalog # PSC001) and labeled with antibodies included in the GloLIVE Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Live Cell Imaging Kit (R&D Systems; Catalog # SC023). Pluripotency of live human stem cell colonies was verified using a NorthernLights™ (NL) 493-conjugated Mouse Anti-Human SSEA-4 Monoclonal Antibody (green) and a NL557-conjugated Mouse Anti-Human TRA-1-60(R) Monoclonal Antibody (red). The nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (blue). (The kit also contains a NL557-conjugated Mouse Anti-Human SSEA-1 Monoclonal Antibody.)
Despite its broad use as the most common assay for assessing the pluripotency of stem cells, the teratoma assay has limitations.1 It requires expensive animal models and is time-consuming, often requiring six to ten weeks before pluripotency can be determined. The teratoma assay is also inherently variable, depending on the site of cell inoculation and the mouse strain used. Additionally, teratoma analysis is not straightforward and requires significant histological expertise. Another assay used to verify functional pluripotency is in vitro embryoid body formation. This assay requires only one to two weeks before results can be obtained, but the results it yields can be highly variable since it relies on random differentiation of the stem cells. The inherent variability of results obtained via embryoid bodies and the teratoma assay, along with the significant time and expense required for teratoma formation and analysis, pose a degree of complexity and delay in the initiation of important downstream experiments.
Figure 2A. Analysis of starting stem cell population quality: Two BG01V human embryonic stem (ES) cell populations were differentiated to early mesoderm using a media supplement included in the Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Functional Identification Kit (R&D Systems; Catalog # SC027). The cells were labeled with the Goat Anti-Human Brachyury Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody to confirm mesoderm differentiation. The cells were stained using the NorthernLights 557-conjugated Donkey Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # NL001; red) and the nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Regarding differentiation capability, this kit identified the high-quality (see Figure 2A, right) vs. the low-quality (see Figure 2B, below) starting ES cell population. (The kit also includes media supplements for ectoderm and endoderm differentiation, along with Goat Anti-Human Otx2 [ectoderm] and Goat Anti-Human SOX17 [endoderm] Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibodies for differentiation status confirmation. BG01V human embryonic stem cells are licensed from ViaCyte, Inc.)
R&D Systems offers a kit that quickly and reliably aids in determining the quality of a starting stem cell population. The Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Functional Identification Kit verifies the pluripotency of your starting ES or iPS cell population in vitro in only five days (Figure 2). Achieving findings significantly faster than can the embryoid body formation process or the teratoma assay, this kit is also more consistent. The kit's specially formulated media supplements and growth factors drive reproducible pluripotent stem cell differentiation. The markers needed to characterize each of the three germ layer cell types are also included in the kit. Although it may not be a replacement for the teratoma assay, this kit provides a valuable quality check of your starting stem cell population prior to initiating the more arduous teratoma assay. Furthermore, the rapidity with which the kit can assess cell populations makes it feasible to continually verify the health and differentiation capability of stem cell populations throughout routine culturing. This approach could prevent wasted time that results from the use of stem cells that were not ultimately pluripotent in complicated downstream experiments (Figure 2).
Despite the great potential that pluripotent stem cells have for advancing personalized medicine, the development of robust differentiation protocols has been hindered by the inherent functional variability within pluripotent stem cell populations. 2 Unfortunately, the current methods used to account for this functional variability can be inconsistent themselves. The GloLIVE Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Live Cell Imaging Kit, the individual GloLIVE antibodies, and the Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Functional Identification Kit provide additional tools for quickly verifying stem cell populations, thus, increasing consistency across experiments. Reducing experimental variability allows scientists to interpret experimental results with more confidence, aiding their efforts to advance research toward understanding important questions surrounding developmental and disease mechanisms.

ELMER — The West Cumberland Little League Softball Senior Division all-stars found themselves starting off another Section 4 tournament Thursday, and they came out on fire.
After exploding for six runs in the bottom of the third inning, West Cumberland went on to defeat Northfield, 10-0, in five innings.
"They came out with intensity and they came out to play," said West Cumberland head coach Gary Woodruff. "They're a seasoned bunch. They know what they have to do, they know how to take care of their business."
Brooke Coleman tossed the first three innings for West Cumberland, only allowing one hit and striking out three. She also got the scoring started, and finished, at the plate.
"It felt more comfortable batting and on the pitcher's mound just because we got those runs in," she said of the early lead. "Helped me out a little pitching."
She went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBIs and a run scored. Her single in the first drove in Emily Pettit for the first run of the game and her single in the fifth drove Pettit in once again, this time for the 10th and final run to invoke the mercy rule.
"I was nervous, but I knew I had a good hitter behind me," Coleman said of her final at-bat. "(When I made contact) it felt amazing."
West Cumberland got its six-run-third started when Lauren Dwyer lead off with a single. Her sister, Lindsey, then drove her home with a triple down the left-field line. The outburst ended when Danielle Lugo laced her second double of the game, scoring a pair of runs.
The offense wasn't the only thing working for West Cumberland, as its defense was stellar behind Coleman and relief pitcher Shayla Loud. The two combined to allow only three hits.
"Both of them did well today," said Lugo, who caught all five innings. "Placement for Brooke was amazing and the speed for Shayla — yeah, good."
Pettit had the defensive highlight of the night, making a sliding grab in center to end the third.
"Defensively we were strong," said Woodruff. "We've got the arms out there that you really can't take extra bases on us."
Besides keeping Northfield off the bases, West Cumberland did an excellent job of running the bases themselves. Besides taking every extra base they could, they went 5-for-5 in the stolen base department.
"We always want to be aggressive, we have a lot of team speed," Woodruff said.
With the win, West Cumberland will play Woodbury next.
"Great to have that feeling behind you," said Lugo. "Now we can move on."
But West Cumberland has much bigger aspirations than just advancing to the next round of the Section 4 tournament.
"Our goal is always to get to the Eastern Regional, win the state and make it to regions," proclaimed Woodruff. "That's the first goal, then you hope to get some breaks up there. No matter how good you are, you need some breaks. But they've got a shot."

What is a country without a sense of community? In acknowledgment of this sentiment, many members of the Sabi Sands Game Reserve are dedicated to the upliftment of local neighbours living in the area.
Lodges within the Sabi Sands Game Reserve are finding ways to contribute to the surrounding communities - many of whom have been defined by poverty and a lack of opportunity to improve their standard of living.
Lodges in the Sabi Sands have specific projects they concentrate on and part of the revenue from visitors to the lodges goes towards community upliftment. Visitors can also take part in tours to these communities where they can see first hand what is being done - and they may have the opportunity to purchase some of the local crafts.

This review is from: ViewSonic PRO8200 1920x1080 FHD 2000 ANSI Lumens, 16:9 Widescreen Aspect Ratio, Dual HDMI / Dual VGA, Two 10-watt Speakers, 1.5x Optical Zoom, PIP/POP Option, Home Theater DLP Projector
Pros: I researched long and hard before deciding on this projector. I decided on a DLP in spite of the possible rainbow effect.
I am in fact sensitive the rainbow effect but my husband is not. I barely notice it on this projector but it does flare up occansionally. My husband never sees it. We have the projector mounted on the ceiling approx. 12 1/2 ft away from a 100" screen.
The picture is fantastic and the blacks are VERY crisp..not sure why some are having issues with that. I have a panasonic blu-ray home theater and the sound goes through that. I would not recommend the speakers on the projector as they are a bit tinny but will do if you have no other choice.
My family has often remarked that what we see in our own home on the projector is better than some theaters. I agree.
The picture is sharp and clear and the colors vivid. I had no problems with sound syncing to the picture and it was easy to make the few adjustments needed to make viewing optimal.
I highly recommend this projector but just be aware of the rainbow effect which is not noticable at all for me now.

This review is from: APEX TX-381 Black Steel MicroATX Mid Tower Computer Case ATX12V 300W Power Supply
Pros: Might have had something to put here if I had kept the case.
Cons: The case arrived with the top broken. Not sure if it was due to the poor packaging. I returned it and got a more expensive case which turned out perfectly. Newegg was great about the rma and their customer service is a ten in my book!
Other Thoughts: I returned this and bought a different case because my feeling was that if the top broke that easily in transit, it might not stand up to daily wear and tear when being carried by the handle.READ FULL REVIEW

Natalie Munroe has the legal right to teach in the Central Bucks School District and to continue blogging, district officials said Wednesday, but they don't know how many students the author of "crass and cruel" posts will have when classes start Aug. 29.
"While something may be legally right, it may not be ethically or morally right," Central Bucks High School East principal Abe Lucabaugh said. District officials spoke about the matter for the first time since the English teacher's reinstatement became public last week. She had been suspended in February after blogging about her students.
"The decision to do the right thing does not rest with the . . . district," he said. "Mrs. Munroe is afforded legal employment rights. The decision to do the right thing lies in the hands of the person whose very hands created this controversy, Mrs. Munroe."

Show #3931
Morgan Freeman, Brian Regan, and Frightened Rabbit.
PLUS: Halloween Weather Forecast; Off-Season Halloween Costume Sale; a New Dolphin; Obamacare Explained; Dave Lunches with Harrison Ford; a Top Ten List; and the Pope Entertains.
" . . . and now, everybody's favorite candy . . . . . . . David Letterman!"
- "The New York City Marathon is this Sunday. It's the only marathon with smoke breaks."
- "Remember the NYC Marathon from a few years ago? Donald Trump accused a Kenyan from being from the United States.
Time now for Halloween Weather Forecast Roundup. We watch a montage of TV weatherpeople reporting the weather for Halloween. It went something like this:
"The weather is indeed going to be kind of spooky out there . . . some spooky patchy fog . . . some spooky-looking clouds . . . a few spooky-looking little clouds . . . some spooky showers . . . some spooky showers.... Some spooky showers.... Some spooky showers in the mx.... a spooky chill . . . . a spooky chill . . . . a spooky chill . . . . most spooky . . .the temperature should not be spooky."
Dave is suddenly interrupted by this commercial. Dave is seen on camera with Halloween costumes superimposed over him.
ANNOUNCE: "Looking for great off-season deals on Halloween costumes? Metro Party Supply is slashing prices on all of our unsold inventory! We've got the tri-state area's largest selection of unlicensed costumes for the non-discerning customer, including
(these pop up on screen over Dave as if he is wearing the costume):
- Winged-Mammal Man
- Porous Underwater Pal
- Pastry Monster
- Ghoul Breaker
- Prehistoric Dad
- Surly Bird
- And Sexy Surly Bird.
Metro Party Supply: Tell them Dave sent you!"
That was my voiceover. Another thousand of those and I just might be able to afford college for my daughters.
Scientists have discovered a new species of dolphin. Check out this fascinating report from the Wildlife Conservation Society.
We see a dolphin swimming.
ANNOUNCE: "Scientists have discovered a new species of humpback dolphin off the coast of Australia. This new dolphin has a different set of mitochondrial DNA, a slightly longer beak, and has an unusual way of communicating."
Cut to the dolphin repeatedly doing the Charlie Callis "honk".
ANNOUNCE: "A message from the Wildlife Conservation Society."
Naturally, this leads Dave to do his own rendition of the Charlie Callas honk. I'm not a hundred percent sure but he may have been doing the dolphin doing the Charlie Callas honk. Dave then mimes some smoking at the monologue mark following his NYC Marathon/smoke break joke.
Oh, put the above in your Odd Dave file.
For Americans who still have questions about how Obamacare works, the White House has released this helpful video. We watch.
Narration over accompanying drawings on a whiteboard: "Let's talk about the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and what it means to you. Obamacare means you get a host of new benefits and protections. Young adults can now stay on their parents plan until they turn 26. Insurance companies can't limit the amount of care they'll cover over your lifetime. Also, you're completely covered for any liability when the site crashes and you throw your computer out the window. Learn more today by visiting healthcare.org."
Harrison Ford was on the show last night. Whenever he's here, Dave thinks that he and Harrison could be friends, you know, like doing out for lunch and stuff like that. They're the same kind of guys, in Dave's eyes. So last night after the show, Dave convinced Harrison to out to dinner. So excited was Dave that he had the get together recorded. We take a look at the fun they had.
We see Dave and Harrison next door seated at Angelo's. They have yet to order. Harrison looks at his menu. Dave is excitingly chatting away talking about whatever comes to mind. You could tell that Harrison knows he made a big mistake by agreeing to join Dave. Dave's blather is endless. Harrison excuses himself, claiming he has to go take a wizz. Harrison ups and leaves. It's the last Dave saw of him of the night. Not sure if he noticed.
Back from the clip of Dave and Harrison out to dinner, Dave does some more Charlie Callas honks. Lots and lots of Charlie Callas honks. Real lots. For 30 seconds, Dave's honking was the only thing on CBS. Only those who had fallen asleep did not turn the channel. But I loved it! Loved it!
Lots of horror films on this week and AMC is even showing a month's worth of horror flicks all through November. Not all horror films are good. We take a look at a list of some that aren't so frightening.
10. "The Texas Chainsaw Manufacturer"
9. "Paralegal Activity"
8. "The Thingy"
7. "Charlie Rose's Interview with the Vampire.
6. "It Came From Hygiene, Colorado"
5. "The Amityville Hors d'Oeuvre"
4. "Lee Daniels' The Birds"
3. "Pet Seminary"
2. "The Tex-Mexorcist"
1. "Jawsy Boys"
I first became aware of Morgan Freeman on "The Electric Company." He now hosts a show on the Science Channel called, "Through The Wormhole." Dave and Morgan discuss things like the "God Particle" and the Higgs Boson. What is this, NPR? Oh, wait, the God Particle IS the Higgs Boson. Probably just a stage name. Anyway, their science-talk lost me rather quickly. I'm more the speed of Charlie Callas honking.
Dave reads from a list of Mr. Freeman's career of film. It's a very nice resume. New to the list is "Last Vegas," starring some of today's greats in film: Michael Douglas, Kevin Kline, Morgan Freeman, and Robert DeNiro. That's not a bad sack of coconuts.
"Last Vegas" - it's in theaters today!
To get and to keep someone's attention, you need to have a bit of the entertainer in you. You have to be interesting, you have to deliver your message well, and you have to keep it fresh. Even our new pope, Pope Francis, is always looking for ways to spread the word in new and interesting ways. We take a look at his recent mass at St. Peter's Basilica. He ventures off the usual and gives his take on religion, a la Jackie Mason. The Vatican audience loved it. Makes me almost want to start going back to church.
Tonight's Back Stage Photo Club features Associate Director Randi Grossack, writer Tom Ruprecht, and the 1994 Stanley Cup Champion New York Rangers.
ANNOUNCE: "We'll see you Monday as Dave welcomes Woody Harrelson, World Series Most Valuable Player David Ortiz, and The Wanted. Visit cbs.com/lateshow to watch The Avett Brothers Live on Letterman. The Avett Brothers' exclusive online concert from the Ed Sullivan Theater can be streamed on demand. We'll be back with fun weekend activities you can do with your furniture."
He'll be performing at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City, Missouri on November 8th.
Ever been to Disney? Brian does a very funny take on those who like to nonchalantly cut in line as if you won't notice. Oh, we notice, but for me it's usually too hot to bother. Spreading out the family and hugging the rail . . . yup. Done that.
From their most recent album, "Pedestrian Verse," the band from Scotland performed "The Woodpile".
And that was our show for Friday, November 1, 2013.
My friend Johnny and I would got to a horror movie at least once a month back in the roaring '80s. The worse the movie was, the more we liked. All the horror movies followed the same basic formula. It was always dark in the house. There was always a strange noise coming from somewhere, usually the basement. Nothing would happen until the person went through the third door. And then . . . a cat would jump out! The entire theater would scream at the sudden jump. We would all relax thinking that was the strange noise the person heard. And then just when you relaxed, the guy with the pickaxe would chop off his or her head. The most frightening thing about those movies was the price of the popcorn. Am I right, people?!
Growing up in my neighborhood of Rockland County about 20 miles north of New York City on the other side of the river, we would call the night before Halloween "Gate Night." I never questioned why, but later learned that most others in the U.S. would call it Mischief Night or maybe Devil's Night. Those two are understandable, but Gate Night? What is that all about?
From the Wikitionary: Gate Night - (around New York City, Connecticut, Rhode Island) A particular night, commonly the night of the 30th to the 31st of October, during which young people play pranks and do mischief in their neighborhoods.
Yeah, we already know that . . . but why "GATE" night? Where's the "gate" come in?
With much searching, I came up with this: Back in the day, gate stealing was a popular trick kids would play on their neighbors the night before Halloween. The prank would sometimes include switching the gates among neighboring fences.
I spent about 10 minutes finding the above information. I was griping about how long it was taking me. Thirty years it would require a trip to the library, going through numerous index cards, finding a reference, checking out the microfiche, trying to figure out how the microfiche machine worked, and then finding information informing me that Gate Night is another name for Mischief Night, stuff I already knew. I would then have to go back to the index card catalog and repeat. It would take hours. And here I am today complaining about 10 minutes.
Congratulations to Violet and Allen Large who recently won $11.2 million in the lottery and, get this, they want to give me $3 million of it! True! They just e-mailed me and I don't even know them! Can you believe my luck?! I know it's true because they said they won a total of $11.2 million. If they were lying, they would never have included the "point 2". They would have just wrote, "$11 million." I'm going out right now and buy a sandwich . . . and I'm going to ask for cheese with it! Having money is so great! See you around, losers!
DOH! My girls are 18 years old today. Besides to my face, where oh where did the years go? I remember being asked when they turned 7-ish if the years had flown by. I would say, "The years went fast. The days went slow."
I checked some old Wahoo's and this is the earliest mention I could find of Danielle or Dominique:
From January 28, 1997. I was reporting on the Late Show Super Bowl Pool -
"Rupert won the Late Show Football Pool for the halftime score. If the Packers had missed the extra point, my daughter Danielle, a sweet, pretty, precious adorable young child of 15 months, would have won. The money would have gone into her college fund. Instead, Rupert, a thriving entrepreneur who has a dark side once you get to know him, was the victor."
Damn . . . if only I had started a college fund in '97.
I found this other reference.
From Tuesday, April 29, 1997:
Great news! Remember a few weeks ago when I used the Pythagorean's Theorem in everyday life? Wait till you hear this. I'm feeding my 18-month-old Dominique peas and mashed potatoes. She won't eat the peas and she won't eat the mashed potatoes, but when I mix them together, she eats. Dominique ate only when P (peas) intersected with M (mashed potatoes). As I'm looking down at the scene on my daughter's high chair table, I realized . . . . . HEY! A Venn Diagram. Picture it. A round mound of peas and a round mound of mashed potatoes. Where the two mounds mix together, that's P intersects M. I can't draw it here, but dammit, that's a Venn Diagram.
I remember when I turned 18. I'm glad they're not doing what I was doing at 18 . . . I hope.

SeaWolves complete season-ending 4-game sweep of Akron
AKRON, Ohio -- Dean Green drove in three runs and Warwick Saupold tossed six effective innings as the Erie SeaWolves swept the Akron RubberDucks with a 4-2 win Monday in front of 5,668 fans at Canal Park.
Erie finished .500 at 71-71, and the 71 wins ties for the seventh-most in franchise history for one season. Akron finished the regular season 73-69 and will host Richmond in the first game of the Western Division playoff series Wednesday.
The SeaWolves raced out to a two-run lead in the first inning. Jamie Johnson and Dixon Machado each singled before Green drove in Johnson with a base hit to right. Johnson has 493 career hits with Erie, which is second to Kurt Airoso's 496.
Erik Gonzalez scored on a wild pitch in the first inning for Akron before Ollie Linton doubled in a run in the fifth to tie the game at 2-2.
Green secured the SeaWolves' win with a two-run home run in the sixth inning, his 10th homer of the season.
Saupold was solid on the mound, allowing one earned run in six innings before Guido Knudson, Angel Nesbitt and Jose Valdez each threw one scoreless inning to complete the four-game sweep. Valdez finished the season with 18 saves, which is sixth all-time in SeaWolves history for one season. Saupold recorded a career-high 125 strikeouts, putting him eighth in franchise history.
Seth Etherton holds the record with 153 strikeouts in 1999.
The SeaWolves return April 9, 2015, at Jerry Uht Park against Trenton.

We get back on I-80 after lunch in Green River, and we eat the miles as fast as we can.
There are lots of fences along the grassy hills of Wyoming. And lots of giant alternative-energy propellers turning in the wind. Not a lot of people. But plenty of fences and wind and propellers.
Bob gets all excited as he was shooting out the right side of the car. "I think I saw an antelope! It was this odd animal on that last hill. Not a deer. It must have been an antelope!"
Somewhere between Rawlins and Laramie, we have to stop for gas. We exit at Arlington, and pull into the small independent station. The woman behind the counter has seen it all. She has been asked all the questions. She has a great jaded sense of humor. And she doesn't really have to talk. She can just point to the sign on the wall and all is explained.
We didn't see this stetch of I-80 on the way west because we took the Lincoln Highway route north through Medicine Bow. But Brian Butko has alerted me to the fact that as we head east after Laramie, if we get off at the exit for the Lincoln statue rest area, we can get on an old section of 30 south of I-80 and at the top of the first hill, we can get a shot of Lincoln from a distance. Why not? We grab the wide shot from the hillside opposite the statue. The sky seems to match the cloudy dull sky we had on the way west. OK. We get the shot and head east on old Lincoln Highway till we have to get back on I-80.
The rest of the afternoon and evening roll by smoothly, and we're in Nebraska sooner than we expected. The countryside is not so exotically "western" anymore. We're back on the plains.
When it's time to stop, we realize Ogallala is a logical location. We go back to the same chain motel we'd stayed at on the way west. Same guy behind the counter. We're becoming regulars. He recognizes us and recommends we grab our late supper at the sports bar next door.

The Patagonia Women's Dimensions Jacket is a windproof jacket for alpine climbing, mountaineering, ski touring, and other high-output activities in the cold. The jacket uses 3-layer, GORE-TEX® WINDSTOPPER® fabric to block the wind while maintaining breathability and stretch. A durable water repellent finish provides water-resistance so you can flick the rain or snow off the fabric surface and continue on your route like it didn't even happen. Panels at the underarms are made of stretch-woven soft shell, for increased breathability where you are likely heating up the most. The regular fit allows for layers underneath on cold days with off-shoulder seams and lifted hand pockets that won't get in the way of your pack. Those hand pockets are pretty handy, not only do they hold onto your stuff, they feature mesh on the inside, so you can open them up and they'll act as vents to release excess heat. Protection from the wind and air flow, sounds like the best of both worlds to me.

Syracuse, NY--Mayor Stephanie A. Miner will honor Richard Palladino and Helen Sobotka during the annual St. Patrick's Day ceremony at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Tipperary Hill Park, at Milton Avenue and Tompkins Street.
Palladino has been a member of the St. Patrick's Church parish since 1942, and attended St. Patrick's High School. He has served as sacristan for the church for nearly 10 years.
Sobotka has been an active member of the St. John the Baptist Ukrainian parish for almost 40 years, including serving as president of the Mother's Club.
The park is home to the Stone Throwers Monument, dedicated to the memory of some Tipperary Hill neighborhood boys who threw stones at the red-over-green traffic light until the city installed the now legendary green-over-red light.
Students from All Saints School and Dan Walsh from the Syracuse Kiltie Pipe Band will perform.

Indeed, I do understand why people would think that. Similarly it seems people keep expecting each week to bring half a dozen or more deals like the big Winter sale did. While I suppose that's possible, my assumption is that Amazon has returned to 'normal' sales mode -- just like every other website. Steam, Gamer's Gate, Green Man Gaming, GameStop, GameFly, etc. have all pretty much shut down their Holiday promotions.
I think we'll always have people who expect Amazon to shock the world on a weekly basis. I suppose it's one of the drawbacks to Amazon DD having a rabid fanbase and great track record.
That said, even Amazon's 'normal' sales mode trumps most of the others (and at the very least they offer price matching).
Agreed 100%
Tony, I'm not quite sure if you're aware or if it will impact you but...
THQ's franchises will be auctioned off 'title by title' on Jan. 22 (update)
That's sad news. I have a bad feeling that EA's going to end up with Saint's Row..

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
WEDNESDAY, April 17 (HealthDay News) -- For critically ill patients with multiorgan failure, early supplementation with glutamine or antioxidants does not improve clinical outcomes, according to a study published in the April 18 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Daren Heyland, M.D., from Kingston General Hospital in Canada, and colleagues randomly assigned 1,223 critically ill adults in 40 intensive care units (ICUs) in Canada, the United States, and Europe to receive supplements of glutamine, antioxidants, both, or placebo. Patients had multiorgan failure and were receiving mechanical ventilation. Supplementation began within 24 hours of ICU admission and was provided both intravenously and enterally.
The researchers found that among patients who received glutamine there was a trend toward increased mortality at 28 days (32.4 versus 27.2 percent; adjusted odds ratio, 1.28; P = 0.05). For those who received glutamine, in-hospital mortality and mortality at six months were significantly higher. The rates of organ failure and infectious complications were not affected by glutamine. Antioxidant supplementation had no impact on 28-day mortality or on any secondary end points. The groups did not differ with respect to serious adverse events.
"In conclusion, this trial showed that the early administration of glutamine in critically ill patients with multiorgan failure was harmful," write the authors. "We also conclude that antioxidant supplementation as provided in this trial conferred no therapeutic benefit."

I've got a confession to make. Every year I give up sugar for Lent. Don't ask me why. I'm not religious. I'm not on a diet. I'm on speaking terms with my dentist. I think it might be as a challenge – I'm too much of a sugar-guzzling addict – tunnelling my way through mountains of the sweet grains, and falling into sugar coma after sugar coma until I start to resemble a glucose-saturated sloth. A six week hiatus from all things sticky and syrupy can only be a good thing.
The problem with giving up sugar is…sob…no cake. "NO CAKE!" I hear you cry in a tone of fretful desperation. "But what do you EAT??" The lack of cake from my diet is indeed significant – no sneaky office cupcake, no teatime slab of lemon drizzle, no fluffy frosted red velvet giant to celebrate it being a Wednesday. No nutty, caramel-hued banana bread (for breakfast). And BIRTHDAYS. I mean, what do you do on a birthday other than eat cake? I've started eating vast quantities of cheese in the hope that it will replace the longing for a spongey treat. It hasn't worked.
Luckily, there is always a loophole. And where cake is concerned, I have unrestrained determination to find that loophole. After scouring the internet enthusiastically for a cake that I could eat, I noticed a trend amongst sugarless cakes for using naturally-sweet dates as a replacement for the sugar. It had to be tried – not only would the cake be sweet, but wait for it, it would be healthy. A cake with one of your five-a-day. Hurrah!
This cake is loosely based on one from the petite kitchen blog. I'm not going to say that it's the best cake I've ever eaten, but the simple joy of cake after a few weeks of self-restriction was enough to give it serious brownie points. The dark sponge was bouncy, light, and redolent of a homely gingerbread. The dates added sweetness, but no overwhelming date flavour, the ground almonds lingered fragrantly adding depth and structure, but the real punch came from the cinnamon and ginger – warming and autumnal (even if it is nearly spring). The pecan nut topping became slightly caramelised in the oven under its maple syrup coating, and added great crunch to the cake in contrast to the soft sponge. Served with crème fraîche (almost like icing…) and an extra drizzle of maple syrup, it was a highly successful, saintly pudding.
Maple-Pecan Date Spice Cake (sugar-free, gluten-free and dairy-free!)
Serves 8
- 170g dates (soaked for a couple of hours, then drained)
- 200g ground almonds
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 5 eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp cinnamon
For the topping
- 100g pecan nuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Crème fraîche and more maple syrup to serve.
Preheat the oven to 160°C and grease a 20cm square (or round) cake tin with butter. Line the bottom of the tin with greaseproof paper.
Place the soaked dates, ground almonds, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, baking soda and spices into a food processor and blitz until smooth.
Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin. Mix together the chopped pecans and the maple syrup and then scatter them over the surface of the cake. Bake for 60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the tin before removing it. Serve with crème fraîche and maple syrup.

Pitch art
First poster for my "Oswaldo" pitch.
It's about a penguin who's born and raised in sunny Rio de Janeiro - and now has to go to school for the first time.
You can read a brief synopsis here.
Wednesday, October 12, 2011
TV Show
I'm currently submitting a show idea for government grant. It's been tons of fun developing the characters and hopefully I'll post some more stuff in here soon.
The show's about Oswaldo, a penguin who washed ashore in Rio de Janeiro when he was still a baby and was raised as a human by a couple. We follow his story some years later, when he's 12 and about to go to school for the first time.

What is in this article?:
- Dairy industry could benefit from new antibiotic
- Very promising
- A new antibiotic, an analog of the widely used food preservative nisin, has the potential to be a boon to the dairy industry as a treatment for bovine mastitis.
Food-borne diseases might soon have another warrior to contend with, thanks to a new molecule discovered by chemists at the University of Illinois. The new antibiotic, an analog of the widely used food preservative nisin, also has potential to be a boon to the dairy industry as a treatment for bovine mastitis.
The antibiotic nisin occurs naturally in milk, a product of bacteria resident in the cow's udder. It helps keep milk from spoiling and kills a broad spectrum of bacteria that cause food-borne illness, most notably listeria and clostridium. It was approved as a food additive in 1969, and since then has become prevalent in the food industry in more than 50 countries.
"It's good to know that there are natural products added to our food that protect us from diseases," said lead researcher Wilfred van der Donk, a chemistry professor at the University of Illinois. "Many people probably don't even realize that, or think it's some kind of a non-natural chemical. Last summer we had the listeria outbreak, and that's a good example of people dying from pathogens in food. You don't hear of such outbreaks often, and that's in part because of the compounds that are added to food to kill the pathogens."
Nisin also shows promise as a treatment for bovine mastitis, an infection in cows that costs the dairy industry billions each year since milk produced during and shortly after antibiotic treatment has to be thrown out. Since nisin already is present in low levels in milk, farmers using nisin to treat mastitis may not need to discard milk or meat from recently treated animals.
However, for all its utility, nisin has drawbacks. It's produced in an acidic environment, but it becomes unstable at the neutral pH levels needed for many foods or pharmaceuticals. It also becomes unstable at higher temperatures, limiting its uses.
While studying the genome of another bacterium that lives at high temperatures, van der Donk's group found genes to make a molecule with a similar structure and function to nisin, known as an analog. They isolated the genes and inserted them into E. coli so they could produce the new antibiotic, dubbed geobacillin, in large enough quantities to study its structure and function.
"As it turns out, geobacillin is more stable, both in respect to pH and temperature," van der Donk said. "We think this is good news for potential use of geobacillin in food."

Sass & the City: Summertime in Erie is busy as ever
Sometimes, there's too much to do in Erie in the summer.
It's a pretty sweet problem to have.
In a single week this month, I was privileged to experience the following:
Enjoying the artsy vibe of an outdoor poetry reading at Frontier Park. Holy metaphors!
Taking in some new talent at an open-mike night at the hip urban outdoor stage of Bobby's Place.
Being belly up to the stage at 8 Great Tuesdays at the Burger King Amphitheater in Liberty Park, energized by a blazing hot show by the Erie All Stars, featuring what turned out to be a set list of killer original music by some of Erie's best songwriters.
Enjoying a beautiful evening on Beach 1, listening to two excellent bands with my feet in the sand while watching the sun set over the waters of Lake Erie during the Sunset Music Series.
Singing with the Ruby Port Band in front of a packed crowd at the Erie Downtown Block Party and with the Vendettas at Relay for Life in the awesome new Cathedral Prep Events Center.
Tasting delectable Greek food at the 26th annual Panegyri Greek festival. Seriously, if I die, I want it to be with the taste of baklava in my mouth.
Taking in one of the cool jazz and blues concerts of the Romolo Chocolates Summer Music Series.
I actually had to turn down a half dozen other opportunities during the same week, including the Penn Shore Winery concert in the vineyard and live music at no fewer than two outdoor venues and three indoor ones.
I was also invited to be a part of a flash mob, catch a play, create a painting (and tip a few) at Cocktails and Color, ride the bike path at Presque Isle State Park, play tennis on the outdoor courts at Frontier Park and hike Wintergreen Gorge.
Four of these invitations came the night before I was leaving Erie to drive up the California coast with my daughter. I was supposed to go to bed early. Fat chance. If I weren't so annoying, I would have cloned myself.
They say California is the fast lane but, as it turned out, I actually had to go there to get a little rest.
