Julia Roberts, Richard Gere
Too cute? By half. Too naive? Right out of an old-style Disney movie. Too many close-ups of Roberts looking too gorgeous? Watch out! Here comes another one! Too obvious? You have five seconds to figure out what happens after a handsome, rich, single man hires an uneducated though wildly beautiful prostitute as an escort for business reasons.
Despite its cornball attributes—maybe because of them—this is a sweetheart of an old-fashioned romantic comedy.
The film's charm derives mostly from its cast. Roberts transmits a tingly energy and a contagious spirit of fun. Gere is astonishingly subdued—and astonishingly effective—as a work-obsessed New York City corporate raider who is softened by Roberts's lack of guile (one of the naive parts) after he hires her to accompany him to social events while he's in Los Angeles.
The supporting players are crucial too. Hector (The Flamingo Kid) Elizondo, as the manager of a swanky hotel who helps coach Roberts out of her slatternly behavior, is a marvel of sly scene-stealing. Ralph Bellamy, sturdy of voice and still a model of dignity at 85, elegantly plays the owner of a business that Gere wants to buy.
Jason (Brighton Beach Memoirs) Alexander sleazes things up as Gere's unscrupulous lawyer, and Laura (sex, lies and videotape) San Giacomo, as Roberts's roommate and colleague of the streets, is likably crude, gaudy and gold-hearted (though a shot of San Giacomo sleeping with a teddy bear is one of the egregiously cute moments).
The love story, self-consciously fairytale-like as it is, is hard to resist. Let's de-emphasize the "comedy" part of "romantic comedy" though.
Director Garry (Beaches) Marshall and his first-time screenwriter, J.F. Lawton, offer no comic insight, nothing approaching the satirical truths of the in some ways similar Working Girl. Instead they rely heavily on clunky, get-even jokes directed at easy targets.
"What makes you think I'm a lawyer?" Gere asks Roberts. "You've got that sharp, useless look about you," she says. "Stores are never kind to people," Gere says. "They're kind to credit cards."
"We need a lot more people sucking up to us," Gere tells a Beverly Hills boutique owner, who replies, "If I may say so, sir, you're in the right store—and the right city—for that."
By the time we get to the boy-loses-girl, guess-what-happens-next part, however, the romantic illusion generated by Gere and Roberts is triumphant. It is so triumphant, it can overcome even the most cynically unfeeling of curmudgeons, someone who has considered the likelihood of the prince actually matching up that slipper with Cinderella and calculated the odds against it, which are 14,373,298 to 1.

In one of my previous [URL="http://fixunix.com/rakeshmenonp/entry/javafx_custom_fonts"]post[/URL] I discussed about how to bundle custom font along with application. Recently I came across another query related to registering a custom font. Java API - [URL="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Font.html#createFont%28int,%20java.io.InputStream%29"]Font.createFont(int fontFormat, InputStream fontStream)[/URL] provides a way to create an instance of AWT font. Once loaded the font needs to be registered so that it can be loaded using the font name or family name. JavaSE 6.0 and above has API - [URL="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/GraphicsEnvironment.html#registerFont%28java.awt.Font%29"]GraphicsEnvironment.registerFont(Font font)[/URL] for this purpose.
[B]Problem:[/B] [LIST] [*]API is available only since JavaSE 6.0, it may not be possible to use these APIs directly from JavaFX (which enforce JavaSE 5.0 compatibility) [*]API involves loading of font over network, so we need to perform this operation in background thread so as to avoid freezing the user interface [/LIST]
[B]Solution:[/B] [LIST] [*]Use [URL="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/reflect/Method.html"]Java Reflection APIs[/URL] to invoke [URL="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/GraphicsEnvironment.html#registerFont%28java.awt.Font%29"]registerFont[/URL] method [*]Use [URL="http://java.sun.com/javafx/1.2/docs/api/javafx.async/javafx.async.JavaTaskBase.html"]JavaFX Asynchronous APIs[/URL] so as to execute above method in background thread [/LIST]

DENVER (AP) - Bad knees did what opponents never could - stop Terrell Davis.
During introductions for Monday night's San Francisco-Denver game, the Broncos running back walked through the tunnel in uniform for the final time.
To a standing ovation, he waved to the fans and was hugged by his teammates, exchanging a long embrace with tight end Shannon Sharpe. Then Davis retired to the sideline.
The Broncos, at Davis' request, will place him on injured reserve today, ending his season and effectively ending the career of a player who was both a Super Bowl and regular-season most valuable player honoree.
Davis expected his farewell to be an emotional event.
"I have mixed feelings," he said. "It's tough. My mind tells me one thing, my knees say something else."
Although he insisted he didn't want a lot of attention, he did appreciate the opportunity to show his gratitude to the fans.

Concrete Shelters
New to our line, The 11 foot concrete structure that surpasses FEMA Guidelines by a LONG shot. Unlike other concrete saferooms, I come to you and pour this in one single unit. It doesn't need to be transported, or strapped down. It's poured at your place with a foundation, like your house.
The walls and top all poured at one time, 8in thick walls, rebar on 1 foot centers, each way FEMA only requires 6in thick slab/walls and rebar on 14in centers. Rebar is anchored in the footers, coming up out of slab, on 1 foot centers, to tie with wall pour. If you search "concrete safe rooms" most are precast, delivered, and just anchored down. We do all of the fabrication on site. This one is 10×11 holds 15 people easily, 18 if you need to.

Lesson Plan
Pie in the Sky Lesson Plan
- Grades: PreK–K, 1–2
About this book
- Pie in the Sky by Lois Ehlert
- red colored paper, cut into cherry sized circles (55 per student)
- glue sticks
- 8 1/2" X 11" white paper cut into quarters (11 pieces per student)
Set Up and Prepare
Staple the sets of 11 paper quarters along the edge to create small books. Starting on the first page, not the cover, write the numbers 1 through 10. If you want the book to have a title, you will need to decide if you will write it on the covers, or if you will have your students write it.
Have students write their name on the cover of their book. Turning to the first page, featuring the number 1, students should glue on one paper cherry. On the page featuring the number two, they should glue on two paper cherries, and so on. After the cherries have had a chance to dry, give students time to read their books.
Supporting All Learners
Show students how to bring the red circles up to the glue stick. This stops students from rubbing glue on the table, or gluing their pages together.
Lesson Extensions
Try preparing the books, but have students write the numbers.
- Subjects:Reading, Counting and Numbers, Math through Literature, Early Math
- Duration:30 Mins

A traditional Unix kernel grants significant authorities -- for example, the ability to read world-readable files -- to all [*] processes, so it is definitively not an object-capability system.

I don't see why you say that. The property that Mark describes (which roughly coincides with my understanding of ambient authority) is entirely independent of the granularity of permissions. -- David-Sarah Hopwood ⚥ http://davidsarah.livejournal.com

With ¿Quién mató a Palomino Molero (1986) [Who Killed Palomino Molero?], Mario Vargas Llosa ventures into the detective novel, a genre that is not found often in the literature of his native Peru, and that has developed its own style in Latin America, different from the classic British 'whodunit' or the hard-boiled American variety. Vargas Llosa returns later to the detective novel format with Lituma en los andes (1993) [Death in the Andes], winner of the Premio Planeta prize the same year. ¿Quién mató a Palomino Molero? is another sample of the versatility of this writer, who has published short stories, novels, essays and plays (as exemplified by Los cachorros (1967)[The Cubs], Conversación en …

Burress eager to see action with Steelers
PITTSBURGH -- The No. 80 jersey Plaxico Burress walked away from eight years ago still fits.
It's everything else that's changed for the former -- and suddenly current -- Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver.
The talented but immature kid who bolted as a free agent for the New York Giants in 2005 is 35 now, his r�sum� complete with a Super Bowl ring and a 20-month jail stint stemming from a gun charge.
Burress returned to the team that drafted him a dozen years ago Wednesday hungry, humble and eager to prove there's still some life left in a career that's never quite lived up to his own outsized expectations.
"I can't say I was ever going to come back to Pittsburgh ... but literally and physically the opportunity to finish what you started, how many guys get that?" Burress said 24 hours after the Steelers signed him to bolster an injury depleted receiving corps.
Despite not taking a live snap in more than 10 months, Burress thinks he can play as early as Sunday when the Steelers (6-4) travel to Cleveland (2-8).
"I don't see why not," Burress said.
Neither does the guy who will throw him the ball.
"He's played, he's won in this league," said quarterback Charlie Batch, who will start in place of injured Ben Roethlisberger. "The speed of the game is not going to be new to him. When you say the play, he can line up and go and make the play without thinking about it."
Not thinking, however, is something that dogged Burress even before accidentally shooting himself in a New York club four years ago.
During his five seasons in Pittsburgh there were times when the smallness of the city got to him and his mental lapses on the field annoyed the coaching staff. Those days, he insists, are over.
"I'm an old man," Burress said. "I have a wife, a family. I'm in just a total different direction. I'm happy to be out here playing football. My wife is excited. My son is excited."
And Burress is excited to be back in a uniform, regardless of the color. He spent the past three months watching the NFL go on without him after the New York Jets declined to re-sign him following a productive -- and quiet -- return to the league last fall.
Burress isn't sure why the phone stopped ringing. His numbers in New York -- 45 receptions for 612 yards and eight touchdowns -- were solid. While he'll never be the downfield threat he was in his prime, he understands 6-foot 5-inch receivers are hard to come by.
So Burress kept working out in South Florida, believing there was enough left in his ridiculously long legs to fend off retirement. He was standing in the airport in Austin, Texas preparing to head home when the call from Pittsburgh came.
A day later he was working out for Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. The one-year contract was signed within a couple hours and by Wednesday afternoon he was on the practice field playing catch with teammates Mike Wallace and Emmanuel Sanders and trading jokes with nose tackle Casey Hampton.

While Fools should generally take the opinion of Wall Street with a grain of salt, it's not a bad idea to take a closer look at particularly stock-shaking upgrades and downgrades -- just in case their reasoning behind the call makes sense.
What: Shares of The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA ) slipped nearly 3% today after Oppenheimer downgraded the aerospace and defense giant from outperform to perform.
So what: Along with the downgrade, analyst Yair Reiner removed his $140 price target, suggesting that he sees limited upside, and possibly even significant downside, from Boeing's current levels. While momentum traders might be attracted to the stock's steady climb in 2013, Reiner believes that Mr. Market might be underestimating some headwinds working against the company.
Now what: Oppenheimer sees Boeing's risk and reward trade-off as pretty balanced at this point. "While we still see Boeing's FCF improving over the next two years, we believe investors are overlooking how a convergence of factors are aligning to make 2015 a medium-term peak," noted Oppenheimer. "Yes, 787 investment should (should) top out in 2015, but the call on cash is likely to be quickly replaced by investments in the 737MAX and 777x." With Boeing shares still up about 90% from their 52-week lows, and trading at a 20-plus P/E, waiting for a wider margin of safety certainly seems prudent.

5 Things I've Learned About BreastfeedingRebekah Kuschmider
So, you've decided to breastfeed. It's a solid choice and has loads of benefits for the baby. It also burns 500 calories a day – BONUS!
You probably read a bit about breastfeeding, maybe took a class if your hospital offered one. Maybe you trolled the web for breastfeeding discussions or talked to other moms you know about what to expect as a nursing mother. But nothing can truly prepare you for the incredible experience of breastfeeding your very own baby using your very own breasts.
I'm on my second go-round as a breastfeeder and I was surprised at how easily it all came back to me with baby number two. I'm also surprised about how much I forgot in the interval between my two kids. Lots of things have come rushing back to me all at once, some pleasant others more wearying. Like, I'd forgotten how satisfying it is to watch a milk-drunk baby pop off the breast, fast asleep. And I'd forgotten how much I dislike the sensation of tiny fingernails clawing at my chest (shudder). But all in all, breastfeeding remains one of the most satisfying experiences I've had a mother.
Here are five of things that I found to be true about breastfeeding that I think other nursing moms should know:
Your Boobs Are Your Boss 1 of 5Ideally, your boobs produce just as much as milk as your baby need, when your baby needs it. This probably means your boobs will get uncomfortably full every few hours, whether you're with your baby or not. This can be an issue when planning a workday or an evening out. Think ahead!

Nursing Calms You As Well As the Baby 2 of 5Maybe it's the flood of oxytocin when you nurse or maybe it's just the relief of giving a fussy baby what she needs, but nursing seems to take the edge off the new-mom stress we all feel. I find I'm calmer and more patient after a nursing session.

Your Breasts Change Size 3 of 5At first, your breasts will seem incomprehensibly huge and you'll be shopping for nursing bras with letters in the sizes that would have killed your GPA in high school. But over time, as your supply regulates and your weight changes, you'll probably need smaller bras. Take stock of how well your bras fit every few months and get new ones as needed.

Beware of Dresses! 4 of 5Not all dresses have necklines that accommodate easy breastfeeding. Check your outfit before you go out and realize that the only way to feed your baby would involve total nudity.

Time Is Fleeting 5 of 5Nursing changes as your baby grows. Stop to take in the little details of each different stage. And take the time to love them before they make way for the next thing.

Scrap metal stolen in east Erie gun incident
Erie police searched Thursday for two men in a dark blue minivan who reportedly stole a variety of scrap metal after confronting a man with a gun at an eastside residence Wednesday afternoon.
A resident of the 500 block of East 25th Street told police he was in the upstairs of his home on Wednesday at about 3:20 p.m. when he heard voices outside and noticed a dark blue minivan in his driveway. When the man went outside and confronted two men, one of the men pulled a gun from his waistband, Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin said Thursday.
The two men outside left after taking some metal items, including bicycle frames and aluminum cans, from the victim's backyard. They were last seen heading west on East 25th Street. The victim was not injured in the incident.
One of the suspects was described as a light-skinned black man in his 30s who was 5 feet 6 inches tall and had a medium build and a goatee. The other was described as a black man in his 20s who was 6 feet 1 inch tall.
Anyone with information is asked to call Erie police at 870-1120.

McClatchy Files Form 10-Q for Second Quarter of 2007
The McClatchy Company (NYSE: MNI) today reported that it filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 1, 2007 (the Report) with the Securities Exchange Commission. In the company's Report, earnings for the second quarter of 2007 include the effect of an after-tax non-cash loss of $4.7 million, or six cents per share, related to the settlement of litigation and amendment to a Joint Operating Agreement expected to be paid by the Seattle Times Company (STC) in which McClatchy is a 49.5% owner.
The resolution of the accounting treatment for this settlement was concluded subsequent to the company's preliminary earnings announcement on July 19, 2007.
The company's second quarter 2007 earnings from continuing operations were $34.5 million, or 42 cents per share including the effect of the one-time charge. The company's total net income for the second fiscal quarter of 2007, including the results of discontinued operations, was $35.2 million, or 43 cents per share.
Earnings from continuing operations for the first half of 2007 were $49.0 million or 60 cents per share including the effect of the one-time charge. The company's total net income, including the results of discontinued operations, for the first half of 2007 was $44.3 million, or 54 cents per share.
As the company noted in its press release on July 19, 2007 regarding second quarter 2007 earnings, STC entered into an agreement to settle certain outstanding legal issues and amend the Joint Operating Agreement between STC and The Hearst Corporation's Seattle newspaper (Hearst) during the second quarter of 2007. As a result, STC is expected to pay approximately $24 million to Hearst in the third quarter of 2007. At the time of McClatchy's earnings announcement, the company was still reviewing the transaction to determine the appropriate accounting treatment. After review of the settlement agreement, the company determined that it was appropriate to record its share of the settlement in the second fiscal quarter of 2007, and as a result has taken a pre-tax charge of $7.8 million as an equity loss in the second fiscal quarter of 2007. The expense represents a non-cash charge to McClatchy.

With the range of pocketable devices claiming to be able to show video getting ever wider, there's one piece of software that's becoming increasingly essential; the video converter. Not only do you have to have the video in the correct format to show on your device, but it has to be the right display size and frame-rate, too.
Mobile phones and media players often come with transfer utilities of their own, but not many undertake the format and size conversions, too. Transfer My Video covers over 600 devices from phone makes like Apple, Blackberry, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Palm, Samsung and Sony Ericsson, as well as specialist media player makers like Cowon, Creative and iRiver.
There are a few missing, but you can set the conversion parameters manually to cater for some of those. Once you've selected the device you want to transfer to, the corresponding parameters are used automatically whenever you run the program, until you change devices.

Insider: NFL Quick Links
In this edition of "Quick Links," we explore the retirement of Ricky Williams, Gronk's dance party, the Chargers saving up their nickels, Michael Vick's likability and the SEC winning again.
Ricky Williams Hangs Up the Cleats
Former Saints, Dolphins, Argonauts and Ravens running back Ricky Williams has decided to retire from football at the age of 34. Although Williams will always be remembered for his first "retirement" in 2004 after failing an NFL drug test (marijuana), he was one of the most productive backs in football as he is currently just one of 26 backs to go over 10,000 career rushing yards.
SB Nation's Bomani Jones had a great piece on the enigmatic runner.
Our take: Ricky Williams was a great athlete that played football, not a great football player. He simply saw the game as his job and was going to put in his "9 to 5" to stay employed and pay his bills. Although many fans have a great distaste for Williams not "loving" football, he is one of the rare athletes that was able to use the game instead of the game using him. Williams made plenty of money, hopefully enough for him to live the rest of his life on and will walk away from the game in as good of health that a 13-year running back can have. Good for him.
Chargers Clearing Cap Space With Pro Bowlers
According to San Diego Union-Tribune writer Kevin Acee, the Chargers are expected to waive Pro Bowl left tackle Marcus McNeill. Clearing McNeill's salary off the books would save Chargers general manager A.J. Smith roughly $10 million. Due to holdouts and injury, McNeill has missed 12 games over the past two seasons after posting Pro Bowl campaigns in 2006 and 2007. McNeill is expected to be a hot commodity on the market as he's a true left tackle and is only 28 years old.
Our take: Chargers general manager A.J. Smith must have a plan as he is on the hottest of hot seats entering the season. It's difficult to imagine cutting your second or third best player as part of "the plan" to win as many games as possible and make the playoffs. McNeill will be one of the most sought after free agents not named Peyton Manning during free agency. Look for Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Seattle, Minnesota, St. Louis and Indianapolis to be some of the teams interested in his services.
Vick is Still Most Disliked NFL Player
Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles didn't do nearly as much winning as many predicted in 2011, but he still took home a trophy in one category- most disliked NFL player. Forbes Magazine ran a poll and 60 percent of respondents claimed Vick was a player that they ?dislike,? ?dislike somewhat,? or ?dislike a lot.?
Those who run afoul of the law tend to lead these lists as the Jets Plaxico Burress and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger rounded out the Top 3.
Our take: If you mindlessly kill small animals for your own sick pleasure and enjoyment that is going to resonate throughout your career and that's the label that you earned. Vick's on-field talents will allow him to repay his debts to his creditors, but he will forever be morally bankrupt in most of America's minds. As for Plaxico, he shot himself in the leg. It's somewhat of a laughing matter because nobody else was hurt, but who hates a guy that shoots himself? Ben Roethlisberger is trying to amend his reputation as he's scheduled to wed sometime in the near future. There's no truth to the rumor that the lucky lady's father has put a hit out on the two-time Super Bowl champion.
Gronk Rocks Out After the Big Game
By now everyone has seen the video of Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski dancing (or having a seizure?) at the Patriots post-Super Bowl party. In case you missed it, here it is.
Our take: If you were a Pats fan I could understand you taking exception to Gronkowski partying it up after the biggest loss of his career. People are wired differently and "Gronk" may be wired differently than most anyone else in the world. The young Pro Bowler is in his second season and probably believes that he'll be back to the big game sooner rather than later, and he might be right.....Although, with Tom Brady about to turn 35 years old before the season begins there's no guarantee the Pats will be back. He doesn't understand that yet and that's okay. The only thing I take offense to is his actual dancing. The "Caucasians have no rhythm" stereotype is now even more popular. Thanks Gronk.
SEC Dominates the Combine
The NFL has issued out 327 combine invites for February's test of strengths and interviews. Teams from the Southeastern Conference make up for 53 of the 327 invites and BCS Champion Alabama has nine players invited.
Our take: The SEC keeps winning national titles, clearly they have the best players. You could see as many as five players from the Crimson Tide drafted in the first round this April.

Dec. 2006 / Jan. 2007 | Basel, Switzerland — Imagine a magic wand able to instantly materialize novel, safe, and effective drugs. No such device exists, of course, and perhaps never will, but a distant cousin of sorts is being rolled out at Novartis.
"What I'd really like to have," says Manuel Peitsch, global head of systems biology at Novartis, "is some form of a magic stick, some Harry Potter thing, where I just click on this particular word and all the books that talk about it fly out of the book shelves, open on the right page, and are sitting there for me to go and read."
Who wouldn't?
In fact, Peitsch and a few sorcerer colleagues have spent the last three years conjuring up just such a magic stick. "It's called The UltraLink (UL)," an immensely powerful text-mining tool and knowledge management platform that is rolling out to select users now and will eventually deploy throughout Novartis.
Obviously there are lots of search engines and text mining tools already available (see "Search and Deploy," Bio-IT World, October 2006, pp: 24-33). Peitsch, UltraLink's chief wizard and chief evangelist, believes few if any match UL's breadth. The contents of each UL result page are read and categorized by an expert system at loading time. This enables the selection of pertinent pages based on a treelike representation of extracted concepts and entities. UltraLinks are created that associate each extracted entity with a set of meaningful links to other databases and applications.
This dry description belies UL's ease of use and power. Key entities — genes, companies and institutions, diseases and indications, etc. — are color-coded by category and highlighted on returned pages. Gene names, for example, are yellow, institutions are red, and compounds are blue. Impressively, rather than returning a difficult-to-read document choking on a jumble of colors, results pages are surprisingly accessible and uncluttered (see figure). Drilling deeper is simple. Just click. Connecting data to other applications is also straightforward.
"If I'm in research and I want to do this [text search] and then want to use a tool to create a network around one of the genes mentioned in the text, I can do that with a couple of mouse clicks. If I'm in marketing and I want to look at what the competitive circumstances around a particular product are, I can do that, as well. It's a ubiquitous all purpose tool," says Peitsch, who like any parent is both proud and a perhaps little nervous about UL's reception.
Taking a Test SpinAt a show-and-tell session held in his Basal office, Peitsch glides quickly through examples. In one instance, he burrows into public documents to dig out information on a University of Texas stem cell therapy project, uncovers a range of attributes ranging from related patents to chemistry processes, and even finds its clinical protocols. Switching gears, he rapidly digs out a wealth of information about Munc13-1 and imports data directly into GeneGo's pathway database, Metacore, to identify and display putative Munc13-1 pathways.
The real secret under the "magic hood' is comprised of painstakingly curated and maintained terminologies, ontologies, and rules engines. UL lives on the Novartis Knowledge Space Portal (KSP) and is invoked as a web service from desktops. Semantic Web enabling tools were not yet readily available when the project was begun, but Peitsch's team has since begun incorporating Semantic Web technology.
The system "understands" enough biology, medicinal chemistry, and medicine to contextually distinguish between many similar terms. Consider for example, the abbreviation MS. It could stand for multiple sclerosis, Microsoft, or Mississippi. UL categorizes the document first, which then helps to correctly identify terms contained in it more consistently.
"The reason we have [UL] as part of systems biology is that systems biology needs a comprehensive list of the parts of the system, as well as their interactions," he says. "A lot of that information is available in the text. So, anything that touches really advanced text computing is for us an integral part of the systems biology concept."
Prior to leading the new systems biology department, Peitsch was CIO for Novartis Research including IT infrastructure and informatics. He helped lead the charge to go paperless in the library area, which has been largely accomplished over the past five years. "We closed a number of physical libraries because they're less and less visited. Basically the desktop is your library," he says. This move from paper to electronic media also enabled Peitsch to create synergies between Text Mining and the Library, and leverage those technologies to analyze publications, patents and other information sources.
UltraLink is perhaps the most advanced piece of Novartis' multifaceted systems biology initiative. Peitsch leads the formal systems biology group which is part of the Novartis research organization. Under its umbrella are text mining (lead by Thérèse Vachon), computational systems biology (lead by Carolyn Cho), and proteomics (lead by Jan van Oostrum). Don Stanski leads a modeling group and simulation group that is part of the Novartis development organization. Both groups collaborate with various disease research teams.
"Proteomics is a key component of my department" says Peitsch, who is part of the genome and proteome sciences platform lead by Mark Boguski. "We have a whole gamut of proteomics technologies at our [disposal], but our most recent addition is a reverse protein arrays platform."
Last summer, Peitsch and several colleagues wrote a review, "The application of systems biology to drug discovery" in Current Opinion in Chemical Biology. The review not only spelled out Novartis' perception of system biology, but also presented recent work with reverse protein arrays to capture time course data so necessary to characterize signaling pathways.
Here's an excerpt from the paper: "Recent years have witnessed the development of genome-scale functional screens, large collections of reagents, protein microarrays, databases and algorithms for data and text mining. Taken together, they enable unprecedented descriptions of complex biological systems, which are testable by mathematical modeling and simulation...[I]t is their iterative and combinatorial application that defines the systems biology approach."
Collaborative DatabasesData modeling is a fairly new activity in Peitsch's group. "Taking all these facts, components of networks, how they interact, represent them as process maps and run simulations is where we want to go. We've been building up the group. The last member of the group joined in July and we are gearing up to apply these methods to our discovery projects" he says.
"What we are aiming for in many ways is a new kind of "Signalome" database, which integrates the nice picture of the pathways, the process maps, the data, the mathematical models, and [offers] more than one model to represent that knowledge," says Peitsch.
The first objective, he says, is to run projects which successfully integrate computational and experimental approaches. His group will collaborate with disease areas; work is ongoing with oncology and autoimmunity researchers. This should help overcome one persistent problem; data sets often aren't generated from a modeling perspective which makes building appropriate models more difficult. Peitsch wants to reach the point where "mathematical modelers actually ignite the imagination of the experimentalist."
"We are, of course, looking for targets and biomarkers and are analyzing compounds through systems response profiling using reverse arrays," he says. "The latter can lead to the identification of off target effects of compounds, and to an understanding of the compound mode of action in a pathway/network context."
Systems biology has long suffered a lingering reputation as misguided alchemy. Peitsch understands this: "The major challenge is, as with any new approach, to prove the value and demonstrate clear benefits. Mathematical modeling is not broadly accepted yet, and many challenges are before us to show that these types of approaches can shed new light on biology."
Prompting company-wide adoption of UL will be a good first step, and Peitsch is devoting much of his time to making that happen. Currently, UL has about 300 users, and gets 4,000-to-5,000 requests per month.
Like many researchers, Peitsch's computer training took place mostly outside the classroom. As an undergrad, he flirted with astronomy and physics before double majoring in biochemistry and physical chemistry. He then earned a Ph.D. in biochemistry. Along the way he wrote application programs as needed, and recalls his father giving him his first programming assignment.
"I was 13, long before I started biology studies. My father is an engineer. He invented a lot of machines. So, basically one day he told me this is a computer, this is a book; they go together. I need this program. That's how I started. So, early on I wanted to bring computing and biology together."
He seems to have successfully made the transition from sorcerer's apprentice to full-fledged wizard. Look out Lord Voldemort!

As her song "Paper Planes" soars up the charts, rapper M.I.A. is preparing for the February arrival of her first child.
Impending motherhood has already begun to mellow out the rapper, who was born Mathangi Arulpragasam. "When I sing, I have to be aware that someone can hear me inside," she tells USA Today. "It's really strange. I definitely feel less angry."
The rapper, 31, says she and her fiancé, the Exit frontman Benjamin Brewer, have not picked out baby names yet.
"I need to see the baby and see who it is, what kind of personality it'll have," she says. "I need to give a name that is the character of the child. We're quite relaxed about the whole thing."
So will the baby follow in the musical footsteps of mom and dad? "I think my baby is going to start off making club music," she says. "That's all I've been listening to. Of course, you never know....It might end up being an accountant."
And that would be just fine with her. "We actually don't want our kid to do music," says M.I.A. "So we're going to buy it loads of instruments. . .so that it will completely rebel and go the other way."

Halo Reach
(360 )
Well within ReachBy Isaiah Bryant Score:
Oct 08, 2011 6:42AM PST
I was glad to hear tha they made a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved, especially considering that I read the book Halo: Fall of Reach before I ever played the first Halo installment. I like this game for various reasons. First, I love that it concentrates a little more on squad-based combat more than others, given that you play the new recruit amongst a team of Spartans. Also, the gameplay just seems BETTER than Halo 3. I also love the new perks like sprint and armor lock. They definitely make multiplayer more interesting. Overall, I think that this was a much needed game in the Halo franchise, and it did not disappoint. I'm definitely looking forward to Halo 4 in the future.

Neonatal thyrotoxicosis presents a difficult management problem. Recent reports have proposed that neonatal thyrotoxicosis may be effectively and safely treated with propranolol hydrochloride alone.1,2 Smith and Howard's report emphasized that their patient did not show clinical improvement while receiving iodides, thioamides, and phenobarbital until the addition of propranolol.3 A recent article has suggested that "beta blockade should be the treatment of choice for neonatal thyrotoxicosis."4 However, we would like to report a case in which propranolol used alone for this purpose caused episodic bradycardia without otherwise improving the patient's clinical status.

After sitting through numerous reviews, SDRs, NDA customer feedback events I never ever heard any developer say "I really don't want to use C# and .NET I prefer to use HTML/JavaScript and CSS".
@Charles:it may be underneath, but the new tile UI is HTML/JS. Will the tile UI be compatible with the WP7 tile API in Mango?
@Charles:Are you sure? This is not the message from D9. HTML/JS are said to be the only way to write first class Windows 8 apps.
Forget your WP7 app investment.
There are equivalents to low-level Silverlight elements. But we're still missing a real HTML5 framework like GWT or something. RIght now it's like going back to Silverlight 1. No .NET and just the primitives.
I think we need more transparency here.
Firstly, where are the delays and what are the activities? If this is a carrier test delay, what are they testing? Their native apps on the phone? Why don't iPhone updates suffer the same delays (they are largely globally synchronized, looks like the carriers don't get a veto). Why are phone devices different to 3G enabled netbooks for example?
My suggestions....
The answer is to emulate the iPhone model more than the Android model. Locking down the platform is the first step, but locking down for the users and not the handset OEMs and carriers misses the point - we still see the same delays with testing.
The best thing for the users is for Microsoft to use less OEM partners - we really shouldn't be cheering each time a new hardware partner is announced. The carriers and OEMs are not interested in updates, they want to sell more units. Will devices more than 18 months old ever get any attention from them, they would be spending money on encouraging their users not to buy new equipment or contracts.
The real answer is to move as much testing in-house at Microsoft as possible. Change the SLA with the carriers - move support to Microsoft. Lock down the API surface area.
Also, use the community. Roll out the update as an optional to all developer enabled handsets and let the community beta test it. With all this time to market should be something closer to Apple's rather than Google's.
I thought the comment about not including the DLR struck me as 'Not Invented Here'. The potential for integrating the standard web platform with the managed platform is huge. The investment in the CLR, garbage collecting, call-site optimizations could all be leveraged. Microsoft should be pushing for features that are in Silverlight to become part of HTML.
Are there really any optimizations that are truly JavaScript specific, and couldn't be used in other scripting languages?
Would love to know about the DLR story here. Are these optimizations specific to JavaScript, why not all work on the same runtime performance though the DLR. It may mean going to IL first - but this would have other added benefits, like improved interop with Silverlight.
I second that. The samples do not run on Beta 2 and there's no source to recompile then.
Jaime - can you repost with the beta 2 bindings?
Maybe I'm missing something here. Process isolation on modern OSes are for stability rather than security. Sure - they can run under different security contexts, but that wasn't the primary driver for the model.
If we were to architect a presentation technology executing foreign code in a sandbox, would we end up with this?
So can you use WebDav on a regular folder as a way to set-up new files in the cloud?
What's the URL to use?

Things have changed radically the past two seasons, however. Pearl now starts a 6-foot-3 point guard and four guys who stand 6-foot-6 or better. So, Tennessee has gone from being the small dog to the big dog in the fight most nights.
Because the Vols are no longer the smaller, quicker team, they often struggle to force the blistering pace they prefer. After averaging 104 points per outing in the first three games of 2009-10, Tennessee has averaged just 73.25 points in the past four games.
"When the opponents are smaller and quicker, it's very difficult to speed up the tempo," Pearl said. "You can get really impatient. If you try to blow these teams out, you can hurt yourself, instead of being solid and being patient. When you go against bigger, slower opponents that you want to speed up, I think you can."
Tennessee hasn't faced any "bigger, slower opponents" lately. The two most recent foes, College of Charleston and East Tennessee State, were significantly smaller than the Vols. Each team tried to neutralize UT's superior size by slowing the pace and limiting the possessions.
Acknowledging that his team's tempo "has not been as up as I'd like it," Pearl added: "I think that's been a function of Charleston and East Tennessee State being smaller. They have kept the pace down.
"One good thing is that we've been able to win games playing slower, as well as playing faster. Pace hasn't been a factor in us being able to win games."
In general, that has been the case. Tennessee beat DePaul 57-53 playing at a snail's pace. It beat College of Charleston 86-69 playing slower than it prefers. It beat ETSU 78-66 at a relatively modest pace. But the Vols also lost to Purdue 73-72 in a game whose tempo was somewhat deliberate.
Basically, each game Tennessee plays features the Vols attempting to set a fast pace and the opponent attempting to establish a slower tempo.
"There's two ways you can control tempo: One is on offense, one is on defense," Pearl said, adding that defensively, "you can make the game go faster or you can make the game go slower with certain kinds of fullcourt pressure, 2-2-1, zone defense packed in, man defense packed in.
"Offensively, you can only slow it down. You can't pick the tempo of a game up offensively. You can go faster but it doesn't make the opponent go faster. It's a lot easier to slow the game down than to speed it up."
When opponents established a deliberate tempo last season, Tennessee routinely reacted by pushing the pace so hard that it became reckless and mistake-prone. This season the Vols are doing a much better job adapting to a slower pace. As a result, they committed a season-low six turnovers vs. ETSU last time out. Pearl is understandably pleased, noting:
"Would we like to speed tempo up more? The answer is we'd like to speed tempo up more but at what cost?"
Not at the cost of winning, for sure.

Overcriminalization for Lack of Better Options: A Celebration of Bill Stuntz
Daniel C. Richman
Columbia Law School
May 5, 2011
Columbia Public Law Research Paper No. 10-234
Bill Stuntz has brilliantly highlighted the supply side of overcriminalization – how the institutional purposes of criminal justice actors will often be served by more criminal law (and perhaps more criminal enforcement) than is appropriate for a well-functioning society. One might profitably supplement his insights by exploring the demand side, and in particular how criminal law offers a unique and unnecessarily bundled set of institutional and procedural characteristics for which there are no non-criminal substitutes. While for actors within the system, the opacity of criminal law cloaks the self-dealing of agencies and agencies (that's the supply side problem), so for outsiders, the shadow of criminal law offers some alluring shade. Efforts to fill in the gaps between prosecutorial and non-criminal options would alleviate the pressure on criminal enforcement.

By Chris Waddington
Contributing writer
Maybe every pianist should experiment with sleep deprivation and dirty diapers before tackling a major recital. That's the regimen followed by Danny Driver since the birth of his daughter, Katya, on Jan 30. Despite the joyous distractions of new fatherhood, Driver stepped in on Monday as a last-minute substitute in Tulane University's Concert Piano Series. He triumphed in works by Bach, Schumann, Ravel and Chopin, demonstrating why he is considered one of the most notable young pianists in Britain.
Happily, New Orleans also can claim Driver now. He moved here in 2007 when his wife, Rebecca Miller, took the resident conductor post with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra.
Driver opened with a swirling, energetic reading of Bach's "Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue." Unashamedly using the resources of a modern piano, Driver pedaled long sustained notes and cushioned chords as he delivered a dramatic, intensely personal reading, one full of accelerating keyboard runs, sudden pauses and dynamic shifts.
Driver's free approach served him well in the rest of the program. He conjured a gripping musical narrative to link the disparate elements of Schumann's "Fantasy in C," a sprawling, three-movement valentine to the composer's future wife. In Driver's account, this arch-romantic work seemed radical again, a revolt against the tidy oppression of the sonata form. For 32 minutes he let listeners hear this concert-hall staple as the soliloquy of a divided mind, one that shifted among ecstasy, rage and yearning for a faraway beloved.
Psychological concerns were also the key to his performance of Ravel's technically daunting "Gaspard de la Nuit." Here Driver transcended the gee-whiz pyrotechnics summoned by so many fleet-fingered pianists -- and revealed the dark symbolist moods underlying the piece.
Fans of string music have been especially lucky in the days since Carnival ended, thanks to concerts by rising-star violinist Tai Murray and local jazz bassist James Singleton.
Murray was in her element on Tuesday, touring to the University of New Orleans for a recital of works by Janacek, Schubert, Bartok and Strauss. She filled the UNO Recital Hall with a powerful sound: one that bared every nuance, from the trills and ornaments of Schubert to the folk-inspired harmonies of Bartok's rhythmically driving "Romanian Dances." At times, it seemed that she had substituted vocal chords for traditional violin strings, so rich was the emotional content of her playing. She got beautiful support from pianist Gilles Vonsattel all evening, most astoundingly in Janacek's "Sonata" of 1920, a searing work that had the two musicians playing a Czech version of call-and-response patterns. They rocked!
Hosted by the New Orleans Friends of Music, the James Singleton String Quartet left its usual club haunts, traveling Uptown to the Dixon Recital Hall at Tulane University. For fans of four of the city's best improvisers, the Feb. 7 show was a chance to hear them without drunken chatter and the sonic competition of disc jockeys pounding out bass-heavy music in adjoining rooms.
Singleton's well-rehearsed quartet included Helen Gillet on cello, Dave Rebeck on viola, and Matt Rhody on violin. Singleton drove them with the kind of percussive bass playing that gets you heard in a club setting. Using an unamplified string bass, he delivered a distinctive blend of funk popping and the slap techniques used by early jazz players -- and wedded them to a modern jazzman's harmonic imagination. Singleton kept feeding ideas to other players, an important function given the brevity of his sketch-like compositions. His colleagues rose to the task -- a bit tentatively in the opening numbers, but they gradually found a profound conversational groove as the hour-long program unfolded.
They were at their best in tunes such as "Goldbug Crawl" and "Weeping Gigolo Stomp." In the former, the four players kept returning to a folkie, Copland-like melody, finding all kinds of ways to spin variations as they moved into a nocturnal landscape of microtonal bowing -- whale cries and feedback whispers delivered in free tempo. "Stomp" proved to be an especially fine showcase for violist Rebeck as he tapped the music's darker emotional side. His long solo mixed Indian-style droning and weird harmonic accents found by playing close to the bridge of his instrument.

The Basement Collection's fan discount was a limited time thing apparently. I wish I would have known.
Oh darn. I put it in my basket to purchase the next time I bought another Steam game. Oh well, it'll be on sale another time.
They are DTP Entertainment AG, they are looking to bring Gray Matter, Black Mirror II, Black Mirror III, Venetica, and Crash Time 5, all to Steam, I hope you guys will vote for them, they are quality games, and have very little votes thus far. I know a lot of folks here like Gray Matter, and Venetica and the others I'm sure as well so please vote so we can see them on Steam.
Excellent! Thanks for the heads-up.

Art and science tend to be separated in people's minds. They are separate classroom subjects. They are (usually) housed in separate museums. One is expression, and the other is understanding. But if art is all about experimenting with the expression of ideas, and science is all about experimenting with the world around you, why can't they be in the same museum – or even the same exhibit?
On Tuesday, June 10, over 160 guests gathered at the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science for the launch of the Curious Vault Collaborations event series. Showcasing the importance of creativity and innovation in science, the event brought together local thought leaders for a cutting-edge panel discussion exploring the intersection between art and science.
The discussion also focused on the inaugural Curious Vault Collaborations exhibit "Do Brain Corals Dream of Algal Symbionts?" and how the Curious Vault Collaborations project, a periodic exhibition and online cabinet of curiosities, joins together a local artist and scientist to create a tabletop display showcasing both art and science. The exhibit is a massive brain coral, artistically embellished with custom-made neon tubing. The result is a seemingly infinite view of neon and brain coral, a visual effect that simulates a view of an actual coral reef from under the waves. The only materials used, in addition to the brain coral itself, are neon, an acrylic two-way mirror, red oak, a soundtrack, and electronics.
The discussion featured the exhibit's creators Dr. Andrew Baker, associate professor of Marine Biology & Fisheries at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, and local artist Sinisa Kukec of Spinello Projects. They were joined by local writer Nathaniel Sandler, founding member of the Bookleggers community mobile library, and Kevin Arrow, Art & Collection Manager for the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science.
Prior to the discussion, guests enjoyed libations courtesy of Finlandia Vodka and Desperados beer, and light bites by Sushi Chef Japanese Restaurant & Market and The Better Chip.
Come see our inaugural artistic science project, or scientific art project, currently on display at the Museum.

Your determination to be strong and steady in difficult situations could make it easier for you to cope with any problems that might arise today. Being aware of the fact that difficulties will surface at any time in life may allow you to go with the flow and accept the things that happen as simply part of the process of life. Should you come across any obstacles today, you might consider trying a simple affirmation—a few words to repeat mentally—that can give you the strength and patience to weather them. Affirmations such as "This is only temporary" or "Everything has its purpose" might help you realize that whatever you experience, no matter how uncomfortable, has meaning and can be opportunities for growth.
Affirmations are wonderful tools to help us cope with the glitches life throws our way. Not only do they remind us that our situation is not permanent but they also enable us to train our minds to take a more positive perspective about what is happening to us. As we keep our minds busy with our words or phrases, we free ourselves from our worries and are then able to use our energy to remain steadfast and patient with everything that arises. We begin to see everything as a process instead of a series of isolated events. Using affirmations today will let you see that nothing is ever the same and will help you find the strength to deal with your life with a positive frame of mind.

Bobbie HaskellSEE Enrollee
Barbara "Bobbie" Haskell is a Level 4 SEE enrollee working in the EPA Region 4 Atlanta, Georgia Office. Bobbie began working as a contractor employee with EPA in 2001. As a current Case Developer with the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know (EPCRA) Program, a major aspect of Bobbie's duties involves daily accessing the National Response Center's ERNS database and downloading reports pertaining to accidental chemical releases in Region 4. These reports are then tracked by Bobbie after assignment to the appropriate EPCRA Case Development Officer for potential violations. Once a violation is identified, Bobbie assists the Case Developer Officer with researching available public information on the company, toward developing an enforcement case. Bobbie also handles the preparation of all legal enforcement documents pertaining to EPCRA enforcement matters in her Section.
Although assisting with the development of enforcement cases represents the largest part of Bobbie's responsibilities, she also coordinates the filing of the case and its placement on the hearing docket with the legal staff. Another critical responsibility for Bobbie is the review of penalty calculations for accuracy and tracking the payment of penalties. In order to do this, she works closely with the Cincinnati Accounting Operations, as all payments go there. And, finally, it is also Bobbie's responsibility to monitor and maintain the national enforcement tracking system for Region 4 EPCRA enforcement cases.
As a former technical writer and a Pre-K teacher for the learning disabled, Bobbie certainly has the requisite skills to be both watchdog and wordsmith for the Environmental Protection Agency. While Bobbie's NOWCC position may not provide much of an outlet for her literary creativity, she says that she especially enjoys her position with the NOWCC program because it allows her to contribute to the public on a daily basis and she likes to stay busy. When she is not working at the EPA for the NOWCC program, Bobbie enjoys time with her four sons and 3 grandchildren who all live in the Atlanta area.
Of Bobbie's contributions, Robert Bookman, SEE Program Alternate Monitor, says, "Bobbie continues to be a valuable component to the success of our EPCRA program. She works enthusiastically and energetically to ensure the success of our environmental commitment to both the regulated community and the general public at large. We are excited to have Bobbie as a participant on our EPA Region 4 EPCRA team."

Personally I prefer following blogs to twitter. But then it seems a lot of twitter posts are responses to others and I feel like I just stepped into the middle of a conversation.ReplyDelete
That said, thanks for the blog (and the twitter)! When I recently wanted to get myself more 'in the know' per say with what's coming out in sf/f, I found your blog first. It's nice to be able to walk through a bookstore and actually recognize titles.
I don't follow you on twitter, but since I recently started following your blog I have gone out and bought 2 good reads you recommended, so please keep it up. I agree with Linds that it's nice to recognise titles in a bookstore.ReplyDelete
