Last night I was slumming around the Japanese XBL TGS coverage, and I came across this promo trailer for Atlus' new - and thoroughly bizarre-looking - game, Catherine, which is evidently not a PS3 exclusive! I haven't seen any coverage about this game in North American media outlets (apologies if I'm wrong on this!), so I thought I'd share it here.
Now, full disclosure, I'm something of an Atlus fanboy, but that notwithstanding, I have to say that this is one of the most amazing-looking trailers I've seen in quite some time. Very little gameplay is actually revealed, but it definitely appears to veer away from Atlus' well-trodden JRPG formula.
This game appears to be narrative-heavy, though with a narrative that could actually be interesting, and maybe even influenced by Murakami Haruki, if the sheep-men are any indication. At any rate, it looks super-stylish, has a good soundtrack, and looks to be geared squarely at adults. Take a look! What do you guys think? I am very excited for this one. (Warning: sorta NSFW.)

Disinfect quarantine tanks after use?
We decided to purchase a simple quarantine tank that we will only use when required (single fish becoming ill). Is there a way to disinfect this tank after use and remove possible treatment remainders?
basically, thorough rinsing and allowing to dry is sufficient. If you wish to proceed particularly carefully you can wipe the tank with a "paste" made of sera ectopur and water after use (use rubber gloves), then rinse with clear water and store the tank entirely dry when not using it.
Best regards

ATLANTA -- Did you watch it, Irish? More to the point, did you cringe?
Or did you see an opening?
It was a contest of manly men -- giving up a combined 60 points. A toe-to-toe gut-punching contest to see whose eyes would water first -- eventually decided by a bomb. A winning drive against the nation's No. 1 scoring defense, flubbed. There were two faked punts, a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown.
|More on Alabama-Georgia
|Related links
|More college football coverage
It was a game of head shots and deep shots.
Certainly the nation's No. 1 team had to gather somewhere to watch the SEC title game on Saturday with a fleeting interest in its next opponent.
So what's the verdict, Irish? You have the next 37 days to decide.
The film will show Alabama beat Georgia 32-28 in this de facto national semifinal creating as many questions as answers. In one glorious afternoon turned into night, the No. 2 Tide looked both unbeatable and vulnerable.
Georgia's Aaron Murray -- 1-10 against ranked teams in his career -- was going to finally do it, until he didn't. A tipped pass at the end allowed the game's final seconds to bleed out with receiver Chris Conley laying at the Alabama 5.
Manti Te'o could have had a field day. So would Brian Kelly running his two-back attack against an Alabama defense that gave up 394 yards. Or maybe not. The SEC tends to spin games like this into excellence, keeping its faults in-house. What resembled a Big 12 shootout, will be just a private matter between Southern rivals that got a bit out of hand.
"You always have a chance in the SEC," Tide tight end Michael Williams said.
He was describing Alabama's rise from the BCS dead three weeks ago. The Tide made a Heisman favorite out of Johnny Manziel and raised hopes of millions who had gotten sick of their monotonous run.
"We played every game like it was our last," Williams said.
Fortunately, Oregon and Kansas State did not. Their November losses created this moment. BCS hell meant Alabama dropped only to No. 4 after that Texas A&M loss on Nov. 10. For the second consecutive year they were blessed after losing at home in November, able to play for the national championship within a month.
Alabama? Destiny's darlings? Four weeks ago to the day, the Tide rallied to win at LSU with a finish they've already nicknamed "The Drive." When Georgia fell those 5 yards short of the winning score as time ran out Saturday, Alabama freshman corner Geno Smith had the obvious label waiting.
"I guess, 'The Stop,' " he said.
Except it was more than that. The Tide is great and lucky at this point. Punishing and yielding. They're also in the BCS championship game again with history dripping from the Georgia Dome rafters. A chance for a third national championship in four years. A chance to add "dynasty" next to their names. A chance to break a glorious college football tie. Bama and Notre Dame are tied with eight AP national championships each.
It will be a hell of a tiebreaker in South Florida. But they'll never forget Saturday night.
"It's like a national championship in itself," Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley said.
That's probably how it will be remembered -- an experience that the BCS title game will have a hard time topping. Six lead changes in the showcase for the league with six straight titles. Smashing, bloody, intimidating football that only began with a cheap shot by Alabama's Quinton Dial to Murray's head in the first half. It went unflagged. Dial may not get the luxury of suiting up for Notre Dame when SEC officials examine the film.
"We jabbed, we jabbed, we jabbed and finally got the knockout punch at the end," Alabama tight end Michael Williams said fittingly.
It was a game dominated by two men who couldn't have more inappropriate surnames -- Gurley and Lacy. Alabama's Eddie Lacy ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns. That outdid Georgia's Todd Gurley, who went for 122 yards and two touchdowns of his own. In between those two, there was Alabama's T.J. Yeldon going for 153.
With 6½ minutes left in the third quarter it was hard to give Alabama a chance. Georgia's Alec Ogletree had just run 55 yards with a blocked field goal put the Dawgs up 21-10.
"When I saw that No. 9 running down the field with a blocked field goal, I said, 'Yeah, that's a problem,' " Nick Saban said.
The game seemed to flip from a Georgia rout to Alabama lead in about three minutes. Alabama made the score 21-16 late in the third quarter. Without hesitating, Saban went for two. Without hesitating, the play call was a hand off up the gut to Yeldon. Who makes that kind of play call with a conference/national championship on the line?
On this night, the one that came from 11 behind.
With 195 seconds left, AJ McCarron found Bama receiver Amari Cooper who found himself open deep down the left side for the winning 45-yard reception. Georgia cornerback Damian Swann may relive Cooper slipping behind him in his dreams for the rest of his life.
"Being that close," said Georgia All-America linebacker Jarvis Jones, "is something you'll always think about."
This Alabama team with little star power, then, has just enough power, enough juice to survive. Georgia hasn't won an SEC title since 2005 but won a lot of respect. This was going to be their night taking the lead first, then scoring the first two touchdowns of the second half.
Getting the ball with 68 seconds left, Murray stared down that Alabama D from his own 15. Hearts were in throats. Alabama's Dee Milliner seemingly ended it with an interception near midfield, but it was overturned upon instant replay review.
"I caught it," Milliner insisted, "Got my arm under it."
That allowed Murray to complete 4 of 5 passes for 73 yards to get to the Alabama 5, but that's where the dream died. There will be criticism. Georgia coach Mark Richt had a chance to call for a spike a couple of times.
And why in the Wide, Wide World of Sports was any pattern run short of the end zone from the Bama 8 with time running out? Conley caught Murray's last pass, tipped by Mosley.
"I would have spiked it," Bama corner Smith said.
Georgia receiver Tavarres King said, "We cheesed up, messed up."
Did you watch, Irish? Did you see a little bit of yourselves in the mirror in the ATL? Did you see a team just like yourselves? Reasonable folks can argue about the talent level of the two national title game participants but it's clear what's ahead.
The luck of the Irish is about to meet tenacity of the Tide.

"Our Life's Dreams" turns into a nightmare for Mustafa Shabaan
The chaos that has erupted over the recent film "Ahlam Umrina" (Our Life's Dreams) has not ended as tabloids continue to publish verbal attacks by certain stars of the film against one another.
The two leading actresses, Muna Zaki and Muna Shalabi, were absent from the film's premier earlier this month.
Muna refused to attend, trying to disassociate herself with the film, and Shalabi was away in England during the premier.
According to the London based Elaph, the situation between the cast of the film had escalated to the point that Zaki made a public announcement stating that she will never work alongside Egyptian actor Mustafa Shabaan or any of the other cast of the film again.
Zaki's anger with Mustafa was exacerbated after behind the scenes footage, which was filmed by his personal camera, was released to a number of satellite television channels.
Mustafa has refused to comment on Zaki's allegations, stating that his only concern is the film. However, he did note that these problems have negatively affected the success of the film, and he hopes that a resolution to these matters will be reached as soon as possible.
Zaki stated, "This film is not mine, and so I will not attack it in a negative way," adding "the important thing is the lessons I have learned from this experience." She stressed that she will not attend any of the premiers for the film and wants nothing to do with it.
The film's production has faced several problems over the past two years, some of which resulted from the producers, and others which emanated from Mustafa and director Othman Abu Al Laban.
Shabaan and Al Laban eliminated several of Muna's scenes, giving her only a minor role.
As a result Muna refused to continue working on the film, leading the producer to file a lawsuit against her.
Muna, who is known to be a dedicated actress, threatened to file a counter suit against the producer based on his violation of her basic rights as an actress. The producer withdrew his complaint.

Question: In patients with Crohn colitis or ileocolitis, is olsalazine more effective than placebo in maintaining remission?
Design: Randomized (unclear allocation concealment*), blinded (unclear),* placebo-controlled trial with 52-week follow-up.
Setting: 25 hospitals in 3 countries.
Patients: 328 patients who were ≥ 18 years of age and had Crohn colitis or ileocolitis in complete remission (Crohn disease activity index [CDAI] ≤ 150) for ≥ 1 month before randomization. Exclusion criteria were receipt of steroid, azathioprine, or other immunosuppressive therapy within 8 weeks of the start of treatment; antibiotic therapy ≥ 1 month; potential for pregnancy or lactation; clinically important hepatic or renal insufficiency; strictures causing obstruction; fistulae; oral or symptomatic anal Crohn disease; stoma or small-bowel disease other than terminal ileal disease; or hypersensitivity to salicylates. 327 patients (99.7%) (mean age 39 y, 54% women) received the study drugs and had follow-up data.
Intervention: Patients were allocated to olsalazine, 2 g daily (n = 167), or placebo (n = 161) for 52 weeks.
Main outcome measures: The primary outcome was relapse (CDAI score > 150). Adverse events were also assessed.
Main results: The groups did not differ for relapse {P = 0.49}† (Table). The study was powered to detect a difference in relapse rate of 15%. The failure rate (patients not completing the study) was higher in the olsalazine group than in the placebo group (P = 0.038) (Table). Adverse events were mild to moderate in severity, but occurred in more olsalazine than placebo recipients (P = 0.035) (Table).
Conclusion: In patients with Crohn colitis or ileocolitis, olsalazine was not better than placebo in maintaining remission.

NCAA Bball
NCAA Tournament - (2) Duke vs. (7) Creighton
Duke got a fight from Albany, but did what they had to do to win and advance. They will now face Creighton, who won a hard fought game against Cincinnati. The Bluejays will rely on McDermott to lead the way, as they have done pretty successfully all season. All Duke has to do to win is stop McDermott. Sounds easy enough, but not that many teams have been successful in doing so. If Duke succeeds, they win. If not, Creighton will keep it close, and could potentially get the upset.

Concurrent hereditary haemochromatosis and idiopathic Parkinson's disease: a case report series

Hereditary haemochromatosis (HH) is a genetic disorder in which abnormal iron handling leads to excessive iron accumulation in systemic tissues. Magnetic resonance imaging studies suggest excess iron deposition in the basal ganglia of patients with HH. The symptoms of neurological complications of HH include cognitive decline, gait difficulties, cerebellar ataxia, and extrapyramidal dysfunction, but idiopathic Parkinson's disease, in which brain iron deposition is normal, has not been reported. We describe four patients with concurrent HH and IPD. Although three of the cases had risk factors for cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease, computed tomography did not show ischaemic changes in the basal ganglia. We speculate that in these cases, abnormal deposition of iron in the basal ganglia induced the symptoms of IPD.

on December 15, 2012 - 12:01 AM
On a day when it was difficult to think about, much less celebrate, the festive holiday season, Ronan Tynan and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, ably aided by the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus, managed to offer the unique comfort of music.
Both First Niagara CEO John Koelmel, whose bank sponsors the Holiday Pops concerts that continue through Sunday, and conductor Matthew Kraemer referred to the heartbreaking events of Friday morning in Connecticut. "We will keep the families in our thoughts and prayers," Koelmel said.
The first selection on the program was "We Need A Little Christmas," which was written to address more mundane issues, but was never more true than it was Friday. The orchestra, decked out in bright red and black, was near perfect all evening, with tight, crisp percussion, sweet strings and bright, proud horns.
The program provided several notes of movie and television whimsy, from the "Welcome Christmas" tune sung by the people of Whoville at the beginning of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," which spotlighted the chorus' soaring sopranos, to the crisp and melodic overture from the movie "Miracle on 34th Street."
Next was an amusingly arranged piece, Various Themes on "Fa-La-La," during which the chorus sang "Fa-la-la-LA" to the tune of the unmistakable opening notes of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5.
At Tynan's first appearance, he greeted the crowd � "great city and great people" � then confessed that his songs were not in the program because "In typical Irish fashion, I don't know what I'm going to do myself until I get out here."
It's safe to say that Tynan's first selection, "Ride On," a tune written by Jimmy MacCarthy of Macroom, County Cork and popularized by Christie Moore, would not have been familiar to the crowd. But the haunting lyrics about loss and longing � "I could never go with you, no matter how I wanted to" � could not have been more apt.
Tynan was in fine voice, his powerful upper register almost operatic at times, his low notes soft and sweet. Although his between-song remarks were mostly lighthearted and often mocked his size, his delivery was sensitive and full of emotion.
His next piece was Leonard Cohen's oft-recorded "Hallelujah," and Tynan delivered it with a seldom-heard intensity.
The orchestra outdid itself with a bright, smooth version of "The Carol of the Bells."
Tynan finished out the first part of the program with an impromptu selection of "Over the Rainbow," dedicated to the memory of the victims in Connecticut. Given his links with Buffalo, he must have known but did not mention the song's composer, Buffalo native Harold Arlen. The orchestra sat silent while Tynan and his longtime accompanist Bill Lewis performed the song by themselves, and simplicity was a virtue here. Tynan's soaring voice was shown off to full effect, although notes of yearning permeated his soft notes too. It was a triumph.
The second half of the show contained a few lesser-known pieces, including the Suite from the Polar Express, in which the Buffalo Niagara Youth Chorus added their pure, soaring vocals to the magnificent voices of the Philharmonic Chorus.
But there was still time for Carmen Dragon's lush arrangement of "White Christmas," the classic "Sleigh Ride," a spirited sing-along and an abbreviated but magical visit from Santa.
Tynan's final song was a heartrending and poignant "Danny Boy," the Irish-American favorite that could have been written for his voice and this evening. It was a spectacular end to an emotional evening.

Enhanced Diagnostic Tools
The excitation and emission spectra of the Alexa Fluor series cover the visible spectrum and extend into the infrared.[2] The individual members of the family are numbered according roughly to their excitation maxima (in nm).
Alexa Fluor dyes are synthesized through sulfonation of coumarin, rhodamine, xanthene(such as fluorescein), and cyanine dyes. Sulfonation makes Alexa Fluor dyes negatively charged and hydrophilic. Alexa Fluor dyes are generally more stable, brighter, and less pH-sensitive than common dyes (e.g. fluorescein, rhodamine) of comparable excitation and emission,[3] and to some extent the newer cyanine series.[4] However, they are also more expensive. They are patented by Invitrogen (which acquired the company that developed the Alexa dyes, Molecular Probes) and thus are priced higher than the common dyes that are available from multiple manufacturers.
Similar alternatives include the DyLight Fluors from Pierce (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and the Atto series from Atto-Tec and sold by Sigma-Aldrich
Tetramethylrhodamine, Cy3 dye
Lissamine rhodamine B dye, Rhodamine Red dye
Texas Red dye, Cy3.5 dye
Cy5 dye, allophycocyanin (APC)
Comparison with other dyes
The Alexa series dyes are less pH-sensitive and more photostable than the original dyes (fluorescein, rhodamine, etc.) from which they were synthesized.
However, brightness comparisons are not presently available. Brightness is commonly measured as a product of extinction coefficient (absorption efficiency) and quantum yield (emission efficiency) [5] While extinction coefficients are known (see the table above), the quantum yields of the Alexas have not been published by Molecular Probes.
In one case, a third party has compared one Alexa with another commonly used dye. This was a comparison of Cy5 and its Alexa with similar wavelength, Alexa 647, with the dyes conjugated to DNA. [1] This study found that Cy5 is brighter, but less photostable than Alexa 647.
Therefore presently it is difficult to quantitatively choose the best dye for a particular application and in many cases empirical testing is in order.

WHY WAIT? Aaron Ruff committed to Temple nearly a year ago. He didn't have to. He could have played the recruiting game for all it was worth, since he had options. He just didn't see the point, even if others didn't understand.
"Temple had offered me from the [start]," said Ruff, a 6-4, 295-pound offensive lineman from Imhotep Charter who is rated among the top prospects in Pennsylvania. "When I took a tour, saw the [facilities] and met with the coaching staff, it was like paradise here.
"After I made my decision, a lot of other schools that were interested really started coming back at me. But I told them I was strong. I didn't want to be rude, but I was real with Temple. I wasn't going to go back on my word. I wouldn't do that to coach [Matt] Rhule. Plus, it felt like home. Why should I travel somewhere away from my family, when Temple's got the same stuff? I'd just be wasting eveyrone's time. My family's important to me. This way I'm here for them.

CLEMSON - Vic Beasley was present on the field last Thursday at Clemson's Pro Day.
Career stats for Clemson's two senior defenders who held off the NFL for one more year:
Vic Beasley, DE (35 games, 13 starts)
31 tackles for loss, 21 sacks, 20 QB pressures
Needs 7.5 sacks to surpass Michael Dean Perry and Gaines Adams as school sacks leader
Stephone Anthony, LB (39 games, 23 starts)
240 tackles, 24 TFLs, 7 sacks
Needs 134 tackles to crack Clemson's all-time top 10 list (Anthony had 131 last year)
OK, not exactly. He stood on the sideline, joining the hundreds of observers inside the Tigers' practice facility as Tajh Boyd, Sammy Watkins, Bashaud Breeland and 16 others auditioned for NFL scouts, coaches and general managers.
Beasley endured more than enough pondering two months ago about his future - it took the All-American defensive end right up to the declaration deadline to make a decision. As compensation, he shed the "what if" thoughts as he watched his former mates chase their dreams, which he very nearly would have been doing.
"Nah, it didn't even cross my mind," Beasley said after Clemson's spring practice Friday. "I'm happy that I came back. Satisfied."
It probably wasn't much of a surprise based on his January consternation, but when asked in hindsight how much he waffled on whether to return to Clemson for his senior year - he was a projected NFL draft second-round prospect had he left - Beasley twice said, "I was very close."
"But I'm happy. I'm happy I made the decision to stay," he added. "I'm happy I'm here helping these guys and having a chance to get my degree."
Beasley wasn't the Tigers' only defender opting for one more year. Linebacker Stephone Anthony could have followed Watkins, Breeland and Martavis Bryant from the junior class out the door, but unlike Beasley, his draft stock wasn't quite so lofty.
"It was pretty much the best decision for me," Anthony said. "After talking it over with my family and sitting down, talking about it for an hour or two, I thought that was the right decision to make, and came on back."
So goes the safe storyline: Beasley and Anthony are the local-boy heroes, swooping in to save the day and keep the arrow pointed up for Clemson's defense. Except that's not how defensive coordinator Brent Venables sees it.
"I've had guys that have come back and they felt like everybody owed them something for coming back," Venables said. "Like they ever went anywhere in the first place.
"They lost the edge. And they underperformed big-time. That can affect your program in a bad way."
Beasley and Anthony are well-liked by their teammates, but last year they had position mates who served as captains, like defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and linebacker Spencer Shuey. Jarrett is back, Shuey is not.
"Sometimes, the older guy, he's a meathead - he comes in there and he's not a very good leader; he hasn't ever been a good leader," Venables said. "Just because he's old doesn't mean now suddenly he becomes a good leader."
Therein lies the challenge for a player like the soft-spoken Beasley, who still weighs 235 pounds though his coaches want him to play next fall around 250. Beasley, whose 13 sacks ranked third in the country in 2013, wants to improve his tackling and run-stopping abilities.
Just like Boyd and Watkins before him, it's inevitable he'll be asked constantly about his attention to the next level.
"Man, I'm going into this year trying to be a better player. I know I'm gonna get questions about the NFL - the NFL's going to be there," Beasley said. "I'm focusing on what I can help right now, and that's becoming a better player for Clemson University, pushing guys behind me and pushing the guys on the offensive side."
Venables said he didn't have too much discussion with his senior-to-be defenders regarding their decisions, though he's on record as agreeing with head coach Dabo Swinney that guys who aren't automatic first-rounders should stay in school.
"They've got to come back for the team, and be hungry, and be great," Venables said. "Not to have one last crack at it, you know? To see if they can be an All-American, they've got to be selfless."

What makes a color universal? If you think about the things that we all experience, such as an emotion, it might be easier to understand how colors can be perceived with a universal message. We all experience environmental colors, like warm pink, or pink light, or even red light, blackened sky of night, or a sky that appears brilliant blue. We perceive human emotion and health in the form of say, a red and angry face, or a greenish sick pallor, or a white and dead face.
We all need to sustain ourselves with edible foods. Green living plants, vibrant colorful fruits and vegetables, for example. These are just a few environmental, human, and life sustaining color associations. There are so many. If we all experience a color in a given context, in the same way, that color can be thought of as telling a color story that is universally understood. What about associations that are not universal but cultural.
In the west, a wedding dress, at least for a first marriage is often white. Because of its association with purity or virginity. White in the east is associated with death and is used to shroud a dead body. White would never be used for a wedding. Red symbolizes purity and life in India, a traditional color for a wedding dress. In South Africa, red symbolizes death and is the color of a warning. And in China, red is the symbol of good luck. Red in the west, it symbolizes warning, danger, excitement and passion.
The language of color is made even more complicated by the fact that each of us makes uniquely personal connections with colors, as well as seeing through a universal and a cultural lens. Much like the way that a person colors the words in a book with their own invented visual language based on experience, so it goes with colors. Color tells stories and makes us feel a particular way. Because we make these associations with our own stories in our heads, we color colors with our feelings, ideas and experiences.
Normal or saying with color in an image can be complicated. Because we make it personal, and that may not fit with someone else's ideas and feelings. Knowing what cultural, but more importantly, what universal associations are made and trusting our own instincts about a what color is saying to the viewer, help us make better decisions. Understanding the difference between our own personal color biases and that which speaks to a larger audience, can make the difference between getting our message across and making a deeper more profound connection with the viewer.
These lessons are applicable to a number of fields, including graphic design, photography, and illustration, and both traditional and digital media. Dive in and get a fresh look at color that is sure to revitalize your creativity and your work.
- Understanding why color is essential for you as an artist, designer, or human being
- Storytelling with color
- Understanding brand identity and color language
- Reviewing the history of color usage, from print to digital
- Working with the color wheel
- Understanding value, saturation, and temperature
- Seeing through color: opaque, translucent, and transparent
- Creating contrast
- Exploring depth of field
- Seeing complementary relationships in light
- Achieving harmony and discord in a palette
- Understanding color blindness

Billows from hospital aren't smoke but vaporized oxygen
LAGUNA BEACH – White smoke-like billows coming from Mission Hospital Laguna Beach on Tuesday drew interest and alarm from nearby residents and passing motorists.
The puffs were first seen about 10:30 a.m. They initially seemed to be coming from the hospital's laundry steam room area, but on closer inspection, they were coming from an area with tanks that supply oxygen for patient rooms. The Laguna Beach Fire Department responded to neighbors' reports of smoke.
D.C. Carlson, inspector for the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, said the smoke-like substance was actually vaporized oxygen that was deliberately being let into the air.
Carlson said the hospital was discarding two 12-year-old oxygen tanks and replacing them with new ones.
About 1,500 gallons of vaporized oxygen at minus 290 degrees Fahrenheit were let out in about 30 minutes Tuesday.
"Our air quality in South Laguna got dramatically better today," Carlson quipped.
The tanks were removed and likely will be reused at a site that is not a hospital, Carlson said.
Oxygen use at the Laguna Beach hospital varies daily, but Carlson estimated it uses about 250 cubic inches an hour.

Former City Attorney Scott Broyles recently warned the council that if the referendum petition is not successful, he will move forward with a recall petition. However, City of Clarkston Mayor Kathleen Warren said she doesn't see the value with a recall of seven people all at once.
"If you recall the entire council, the people that make the decision on who is going to take their place is the county commissioners," said Warren. "If the county commissioners don't get it done in a certain period of time, it goes to the state, which means the governor."
Warren said the referendum petition would have been valid in 2007 after the ordinance was approved. But since no initiative request was submitted within seven days of the ordinance, the petition is not valid.
