We assessed HIV-1 and HIV-2 2-long terminal repeat (LTR) circular DNA production in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, MT4-CXCR4 cells and HeLa-CXCR4-CCR5 cells in vitro, relative to the respective total amounts of HIV DNA. Whatever the cell type, HIV-2 produced a smaller total amount of DNA than HIV-1 between 6 and 96 h; HIV-2 2-LTR DNA appeared later than HIV-1 2-LTR DNA, but rapidly became more abundant. This accumulation of HIV-2 2-LTR DNA points to less efficient host cell integration relative to HIV-1.
Accumulation of 2-long terminal repeat (LTR) circular DNA forms has been proposed as a surrogate marker of inefficient HIV-1 integration [1–3]. Few studies have compared the DNA integration rates of HIV-1 and HIV-2 [4]. Recently, using a plasmid containing both the HIV-1 and HIV-2 DNA regions amplified during PCR quantification, we significantly detected smaller amounts of total HIV DNA in HIV-2-infected patients with CD4 above 300/μL than in their HIV-1-infected counterparts [5]. In order to compare 2-LTR DNA production by HIV-1 and HIV-2 in vitro, relative to the total amount of HIV DNA, we synthesized a new plasmid bearing both HIV-1 and HIV-2 2-LTR sequences amplified during PCR quantification of HIV-1 and HIV-2 2-LTR DNA. These fragments span the junction between the two LTR regions of circular DNA and were synthesized with primers 2LTR-HIV1U GTAACTAGAGATCCCTCAGAC, 2LTR-HIV1L ACTAGCTTGAAGCACCATCCA and 2LTR-HIV2U TCCCATCTCTCCTAGTCGC, and 2LTR-HIV2LCTGGCCCATGWGTATARTTYTGC. This HIV-1/HIV-2 LTR plasmid was used as both a calibrator and a standard in the corresponding real-time PCR, allowing us to quantify the two viruses in strictly similar conditions. This new plasmid and the previously reported plasmid, designed for total HIV-1 and HIV-2 DNA quantification [5], were used here to quantify total DNA and 2-LTR DNA produced by the two viruses in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and cell lines infected in vitro.
The inocula of the prototype strains HIV-1 NL4-3 and HIV-2 ROD, and a strain isolated from an antiretroviral-naive symptomatic patient infected by HIV-2 MEN, were standardized using the tissue culture infectious dose (TCID)50 method based on reverse transcriptase activity (Lenti RT activity kit, Cavidi, Sweden) on the seventh day of culture, and were calculated using the Reed-Muench method [6]. Phytohemagglutinin-activated PBMC from five donors were infected with 500 TCID50 per million cells of HIV-1 NL4-3, HIV-2 ROD or HIV-2 MEN. Cells were pelleted after 6 h and then every 24 h until the two hundred and sixty-fourth hour, and HIV DNA was quantified by means of real-time PCR applied to 1 μg of DNA extract. Total viral DNA was quantified as previously described [5] and the same protocol was used for 2-LTR DNA quantification by adding Pr-2LTR-HIV1: FAM3′CTGGTGTGTAGTTCTGCCAATCAG5′TAMRA to the 2LTR-HIV1 primers for HIV-1 or Pr-2LTR-HIV2: FAM3′AGACCCTGGTCTGTTAGGACCCT5′TAMRA to the 2LTR-HIV2 primers for HIV-2 (annealing temperature 60°C).
Regardless of the PBMC's donor and the HIV-2 strain, a marked difference was found in the kinetics of HIV-1 and HIV-2 DNA production (Fig. 1). The total amount of viral DNA was lower with HIV-2 than with HIV-1, by 1.16 and 0.5 Log, respectively, between 6 and 96 h (HIV-1 NL4-3 versus HIV-2 ROD). After 96 h, total HIV-1 and HIV-2 DNA levels reached a plateau, and the difference was no longer appreciable. Whatever the PBMC donor, the amount of 2-LTR DNA was lower with HIV-2 than with HIV-1 for up to 48 h of culture, but then became higher throughout the remaining culture period (0.65 Log difference between HIV-1 NL4-3 and HIV-2 ROD at the two hundred and sixty-fourth hour). Comparison of MT4-CXCR4 and HeLa-CXCR4-CCR5 cells showed that the results were not influenced by the presence or absence of CCR5.
The time lag before 2-LTR HIV-2 DNA production was similar to that observed for total HIV-2 DNA, but the subsequent kinetic pattern was unexpected. Indeed, 2-LTR HIV-2 DNA levels, similar to 2-LTR HIV-1 DNA levels, increased rapidly but, in the plateau phase (at 168 h), 2-LTR circular forms represented only 2% of total HIV-1 NL4-3 DNA copies, compared with 21% and 18% with HIV-2 DNA ROD and MEN, respectively. This difference suggests that HIV-2 may integrate the host cell genome less efficiently than HIV-1, a possibility that would be compatible with the natural history of the two human infections.

You are making your way to the 'x' scribed on the hand fan that is functioning as your map. Making your way through the swamp is a little more difficult than any of you really expected. Making your way under a canopy of trees. Ghlurb, Grulo, Nenus, and Zinc you spot your hated enemy, Lotslegs Eats Goblin Babies Many descending from the trees still about 30' above you.
Initiative on the surprise round: Zinc, Nenus, Ghlurb, Grulo, Lotslegs
Next Round the order is: Zinc, Bregnac, Nenus, Ghlurb, Grulo, Lotslegs, Ponk
Feel free to post at the end of the rounds I will do a round summary
|Ghlurb Wolfear
KnNature (untrained) 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Climb 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 15' up tree
Ghlurb lets out a roar, scampering up a tree headlong to meet his foe. His axe still in its sheath, he relies on a tenacious grip and an iron resolve to climb. One hand over the other is too slow for Ghlurb- he vaults upwards at an unmatchable speed, bark from his passage flying off to crash angrily to the soggy floor of the swamp.

Damage 1d6 ⇒ 3
Web 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Upon seeing the spider Zinc hurls a vial of a volatile nature, but even with all his might the object falls short, leaving a burning ring of fire a short distance from the battle.
Bregnac has not posted so...Bregnac loads her sling with a small stone and whirls it over head and only releasing the stone from the centrifically force after a load whistle has been sustained she lets it fly...
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
1d3 ⇒ 2
Striking the creature squarely in the head
Nenus taking the queue from Zinc lanches an empty bottle of varisian brandy at the hated enemy, squarely hitting the tree behind the creature. Nenus then takes a moment trying to rub his eyes to correct his vision for the purposes of aiming.
Grulo lifts his bow and takes aim, making sure to stick his tongue out to account for the corrections needed to measure the wind. The arrow is let loose and flies straight towards the giant spider. Striking it true in the thorax.
Ghlurb rises to meet his enemy making it about halfway up the tree before taking a couple moments to make sure his fellow heroes aren't flinging an more glass bottles in that direction.
Finally Lotslegs charges the companions on the ground targeting Bregnac. It rears up and attempts to plunge its teeth into your soft flesh, but underestimated the speed that is a natural talent of the goblin, as you step out of the range briefly. It then launches a web at the one with the fire and ensnares Zinc into a web. Reflex please
|Grulo Barkmangle
On Grulo's turn, assuming the spider is still alive:
Grulo scampers away a fw feet, so as not to get too close to the enormous spider, and blows a raspberry at it, as he forgot to pull his tongue back in his mouth.
He then knocks another arrow and lets it fly, the bowstring leaving a welt on his forearm that elicits a loud yelp of pain.
attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14, damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
|Nenus Pukefang
|Ponk Burngood
Round 1:
"Lotslegs means lotsfeet! More chance for slipping and falling!"
Ponk makes a teetering movement and a rude noise with his mouth, conjuring a puddle of slippery goo under the spider. Grease spell, centered five feet behind the spider. DC 14 Reflex save.
|Ghlurb Wolfear
Does it charge past me? AoO 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 If damaged, this prompts a climb check from the spider.
Ghlurb howls furiously at the cowardly beast as it lurches past him, and flings himself after it in reckless abandon with a howl of rage.
Enter rage and acrobatics 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8, drawing axe.
Directing his fall towards the beast, he crashes into it with a crunch of chitin and grunt of both satisfaction and pain.
"falling object" "thrown" ranged touch 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 81d6 ⇒ 3
Rolling to his feet, Ghlurb smiles darkly, gripping his axe with both hands and bringing it crashing down over his head into the armor of the spider, twisting viciously.
Attack with axe 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 201d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
|Ghlurb Wolfear
|Grulo Barkmangle
ok, no need to go further, as the spider scuttles past Ghlurb and his quick reaction attempts to swing misses. Landing shots the web at zinc. Then Nenus blinds the creature as Ghlurb plummets from the tree with a sickening crack rolls so that Grulo can shoot an arrow at the creature again. As Ghlurb takes his massive axe and buries it in the head of the creature causing it to spasm as it dies.
Would you guys like to do anything here or should I proceed?
|Ghlurb Wolfear
|Grulo Barkmangle
Grulo cackles with happiness at their kill. He pulls three of the spider's legs off with a sickening "schlrorp" and puts them in his pack. "Gonna make a spider leg bow called Lotsarrows Shoot Spiders Many" Grulo laughs again, and disappears into the foliage looking for potential spider victims that may still have useful things on their corpses.
|Ponk Burngood
"Where Lotslegs come from? It eat many goblins, but goblins keep stuff not worth eating, but worth keeping. We should find. If Lotslegs female, maybe there also be yummy eggs to eat."
Seeing that Grulo also has the same idea, Ponk pushes off in the direction the spider came from.
Perception Check: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13
|Ghlurb Wolfear
|Nenus Pukefang
Nenus looks up from his bottle, requiring a drink to replace the one he spewed, and is startled to see Lotslegs... nearly legless. "Me huv gud erdea! Less fend de boomy tings und heev ahnuder perty!"
Nenus takes off, not after the spider's possessions, but rather in the direction of the firework's known location. Making it a total of 5 steps, Nenus stops and looks around. Noticing he has NO idea where he is going, he takes another swig and turns to follow the others.
|Bregnac Pawbreaker
The goblin woman gives a squeal of joy as she hits lotsoflegs with a bullet.... and then squeaks in fright as the spider makes for her. In a flash though Ghlurb is on the back of the not squished lotsoflegs.
Over before it begins the Bregnac looks about as the small bad of goblins searches for lotsoflegs' lair.
|Grulo Barkmangle
|Ghlurb Wolfear
|Bregnac Pawbreaker
|Ghlurb Wolfear
|Grulo Barkmangle
|Ponk Burngood
Are there still six of us? Or have we lost our cliff smiting cavalier? Need to know if we divide the taffy equally or give an extra piece to Ghlurb for the kill.
"No eat all the nummies! We all get some! Let me look at stuff first before we take. Drinks could be magics...or poison."
Ponk mutters words and waves his hands over the things. Detect magic, then examining the items.
|Ghlurb Wolfear
|Bregnac Pawbreaker
|Ponk Burngood
The blueish Vial is a potion of cure moderate wounds, the reddish and yellowish potions radiate transmutation magic. And yes, there were 11 bolts with the crossbow. If you want to take care of any more identifying please feel free to retcon.
You continue following the map, The point indicated on Scribbleface's map isn't quite on the coast, but it's close enough to hear the faint susurrus of waves crashing on an unseen swampy shoreline. The site itself is obvious once it is approached—a large wrecked ship lodged in a shallow pool of swamp water. The ship itself is a two-masted Chelish sailing vessel with strange, faded writing on its bowThe ship itself is quite old—it crashed here several decades ago.
The shipwreck itself is upright, held in place by the mud and sludge it now sits in and supported by thick growths of marsh gorse and other foliage. The derelict leans toward its stern at a noticeable but not unwieldy angle, and its railings are as decorated with hanging moss as they are with goblin skulls and bits of bone
|Ponk Burngood
Spellcraft to identify the yellow potion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Spellcraft to identify the red potion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Ponk lowers his voice as the wreck comes into view. "There be the fireworks place. It all decked out in dead goblin bits. Enemies be there."
Ponk you do not know what the potions are.
Also, I forgot:
A two-masted ship lies mired in the mud in this clearing, its rigging thick with moss and decorated with lanterns and windchimes made from goblin skulls and bones. Strange writing is faintly visible along the ship's prow, while the soggy, swampy "yard" that surrounds the wreck is encircled by a rickety wooden fence. A thin curl of smoke wafts up from a chimney that protrudes from an unusual box-like structure near the ship's bow.
|Ghlurb Wolfear
Ghlurb takes one bluish potion, passing the other to the group, and the reddish potion, though he lets anyone else who wishes try to identify the potion. As the wreck comes into view he draws his smaller axe, strapping his shield to his arm, and takes point, loping off at a quick pace. He stops every few yards to check for fresh tracks and keeps his eyes peeled.
Perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Survival to Track 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Grulo puts a finger to his lips and emits a quiet but firm, "Shhhhhhh!"
He then creeps along near the foliage, his skin faintly changing color as he goes. He is silent as an owl, and nearly impossibly to pay attention to. He looks in any windows or cracks, and attempts to find any signs of life.
|Bregnac Pawbreaker
|Ghlurb Wolfear
|Grulo Barkmangle
|Ponk Burngood
From around the wreck comes a filthy dark gray stallion who you can only assume. His hooves have churned region within the fenced area into a thick morass of mud. It sees you and begins a gallop towards you.
Ponk Init 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Order Bregnac, Ponk, Nenus, Zinc, Grulo, Stomp, Ghlurb
|Ponk Burngood
Round 1:
"Ack! Horsie!" cries Ponk, moving to put Ghlurb's bulk between him and the terrible creature. Pulling a smelly cloth fetish from his belt, he babbles a spell and the fetish bursts into flame, sending tiny, fiery dragons zipping around the other goblins to converge on the horse, where they burst with flashes and fire. Snapdragon fireworks spell, targeting one of the squares the horse takes up. 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4hp fire damage and dazzled. DC 14 Ref save for 1/2 dmg and negate the dazzled effect.
|Bregnac Pawbreaker
|Grulo Barkmangle
Round 1
Grulo's eyes gleam with joy and rage, "HORSE! You die by me, beast!"
Grulo charges at the horse with his magic dogslicer.
Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 = 23; damage: 1d4 + 7 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 7 + (6, 5) = 22
As the blade bites flesh and bone, Grulo grins, blood splattered on his face, and he grits his teeth in expectation of powerful hooves crushing his skull. If the horse dies, he stops wincing and starts hacking away at the corpse, pulling off a raw flank steak and a few choice bits of rib meat to chew on greedily.

This idea comes from 2nd Grade Sandcastle. She constructed this pencil station from toilet paper tubes. I think it's a good system if you use tables instead of desks. I like that it prevents students from arguing over pencils (sharpest, best eraser, etc) and requires them to take ownership of their personal belongings in a controlled way. I love that it eliminates that whirling sharpener noise and "social sharpening." This would work well with Crystal Lite containers hot glued as well as those clear shoe holders that hang on a door. I'm not sure if she does this or not, but I would also write their numbers onto each pencil.
Join me each weekday morning for coffee & a clever idea.

Pianist Mike Melvoin Dies at 74
Diverse stylist played with everyone from Stan Getz to Beach Boys to Streisand
Mike Melvoin, a Los Angeles-based pianist since the early '60s, whose vast résumé included contributions to recordings by a diverse roster that included Frank Sinatra (his single "That's Life"), Stan Getz, John Lennon, Natalie Cole, Tom Waits, the Beach Boys (he played on their iconic "Good Vibrations" single and Pet Sounds album), Barbra Streisand, the Jackson 5, Tony Bennett and many others, died Feb. 22 in Burbank, Calif. He was 74 and the cause was cancer.
Born in Oshkosh, Wis., in 1937, Melvoin graduated from Dartmouth College in 1959 and moved to L.A. two years later. He quickly became a "first call" pianist for sessions involving artists in both jazz and pop, working with such artists as Frank Rosolino, Leroy Vinnegar, Gerald Wilson, Paul Horn, Terry Gibbs, Joe Williams and Peggy Lee. The majority of his work took place in the studios of L.A. but he also performed in clubs, accompanying singer Bill Henderson and playing with Herb Ellis and Plas Johnson.
Melvoin's debut album as a leader was Keys to Your Mind on the Liberty label in 1966. He followed that with several others through the decades, most recently recording a series of albums for the City Light label.
Melvoin was also the first active musician to serve as national president of the Recording Academy.
Melvoin's daughters Susannah and Wendy were members of Prince's group the Revolution and his son Jonathan, a member of the rock band Smashing Pumpkins, died of a drug overdose in 1996 at age 34.

Today in my fashion post, I'm showing how to style a Ramy Brook top five ways. Since I don't have unlimited closet space, I like fashions that can be re-invented many ways. This silk top is perfect for anyone who likes to experiment and play.
Ramy Brook designs are all about showing off skin. The designer looks for "the sexy drape of beautiful fabrics in shapely, but comfortable, forms." And most importantly, sexy presented in a sophisticated manner, and complexity where appropriate presented with simple elegance. The Harriet tops is one of those pieces that will work with your favorite pair of jeans or a great leather pant. I styled it with pants I found years ago in Paris. This one-shoulder tie was my favorite of all the styling options.
Harriet Top is available in 11 colors. The brand says there are 6 ways to tie it, but I could only come up with 5. Regardless, that's a lot of options! The top is made from 100% stretch and is dry clean only. I'm looking forward to layering it under my tuxedo blazer this winter then going more bare in the spring and summer. Find out more about the brand and shop here https://ramybrook.com/
This post is part of the Monday Mingle series, a fashionable collaboration between Momtrends, Jill of Glamamom, and Kristin of BonBonRoseGirls. We take turns posted about personal style and invite our communities to join in the fun. This week, Jill from Glamamom is hosting. Click here to link up.
Momtrends was not paid for this post. We did get a sample to style.

I caught up with Amida Brimah Friday to discuss something outside of hoops: His family back in Ghana.
In 2001, an uncle penned a book, "A Migrant African Chief," that chronicles the deep history of Brimah's family. His great grandfather and grandfather, Amida Peregrino Brimah, were famous as Chiefs in the Muslim community of Accra, Ghana.
Here's the column from Sunday on Brimah's family legacy.

"TOTAL FANTASTIC SERVICE!!! The entire staff was courteous, friendly, and professional from beginning to end and saw to every need and want. The hotel atmosphere is very welcoming with a touch of old Hollywood design and is perfectly located with access to all Paris main attractions. The guest rooms were comfortable, clean, and designed for utter relaxation. It was very peaceful and quiet considering we were staying in the busiest center of Paris. The hotel upgraded us to a suite when the original reserved room did not quite meet all our needs and presented us with a suite that had a beautiful view of the garden that illuminated with color at night. The spa was a wonderful rejuvenating experience. We ate out at night but the breakfast was superb-they actually scrambled eggs just the way I like them – wow! This Hotel Fouquet's Barriere is the best of the best and in my opinion is absolute 5-star luxury. Thanks for a great stay in Paris. "

Math, image processing and movie special effects
At the SIAM Annual Meeting held in Minneapolis in July, Tony Chan of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology spoke about recent growth in the field of image processing due to the advent of inexpensive and integrated image capturing devices, which has led to massive data and novel applications. In a very interesting talk, he described how image processing has emerged not only as an application domain where computational mathematics provides ideas and solutions, but also in spurring new research directions. 2012 I.E. Block Lecturer Robert Bridson, in a very engaging lecture, demonstrated how a computer-generated effect, like a stormy ocean, is made to look real in movies by numerically solving physical equations describing the motion, bringing mathematics and scientific computing into the forefront of animation.

This policy and procedure were last updated in November 2011.
What is Good Academic Standing?
To be in Good Academic Standing, your cumulative Metropolitan State GPA must be 2.0 or higher, and your cumulative Metropolitan State completion rate, including credits transferred, is 67% or higher. These standards may change without notice if required by changes in Financial Aid Academic Progress policy.
What happens if Im not in Good Academic Standing?
If your cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 and/or cumulative completion rate falls below 67%, you will e be placed on Academic Warning status. Also, note that a GPA of 2.0 or higher is required for graduation. If you do not meet the standards for Good Academic Standing at the end of your next term of registration, you will be Suspended for academic reasons.
How do I get out of Academic Warning status?
You must return to Good Academic Standing at the end of your next semester of registration. The notification you are sent when you are placed on Academic Warning will contain detailed information on next steps, which include:
- Signing up for and completing an Academic Success Workshop
- Scheduling a meeting with your academic advisor
While you are on Academic Warning, you must meet with your academic advisor to receive approval to register for future terms. If you do not return to Good Academic Standing within the timeframe, you will be suspended for academic reasons. For more information, review Academic Standing Policy (#2050).
What happens if I am Suspended for academic reasons?
Suspended students cannot register for classes at Metropolitan State University. Suspended students are sent information on the procedure to appeal the suspension. Suspended students who are registered for a following term and who do not successfully appeal will be dropped from their classes and any tuition and fees paid for the upcoming term(s) will be refunded.
Suspended students who do not appeal successfully cannot register for at least three semesters. Reinstatement from academic suspension is not automatic. Students requesting reinstatement from academic suspension must submit a written request to the office of the Dean of their college at least 60 days before the beginning of the term they wish to return.
NOTE: Students requesting reinstatement after not registering for nine semesters or more must request readmission to the university.
Students who successfully appeal their academic suspension or are reinstated after academic suspension are placed on Academic Probation and notified of the terms they must meet to return to continue on Academic Probation until they meet the terms to return to Good Academic Standing.
Are Academic Standing and Financial Aid Academic Progress requirements the same thing?
No. Although the GPA and completion rate requirements for Good Academic Standing and to be eligible to receive financial aid are the same, these are different policies and procedures and financial aid has additional criteria. The processes for appealing academic Suspension and for appealing Financial Aid Suspension are completely separate.
Cumulative GPA The Metropolitan State GPA is calculated based on courses taught by Metropolitan State and also includes Consortium Agreement courses from other MnSCU schools posted to the Metropolitan State transcript. The GPA is calculated for courses with grades of A-F. Grades of S, NC, W, AU, IP and missing grades (Z) are not included in the GPA calculation.
Cumulative Completion - This rate is computed by dividing the number of credits successfully completed by the number of credits attempted. Credits accepted in transfer are included in the calculation as both attempted and completed.

On Fé, Gonzalo Rubalcaba's debut for his new label, 5Passion, the Cuban pianist and composer once again bridges the worlds of jazz, classical and Afro-Cuban music, delivering a stunning collection with dexterity, passion and spirit. Faith (the title translated) is the underlying impetus for this album, notes the artist, as are tolerance and inclusiveness.
With reverence to Oshun, the Yoruban Orisha of love and beauty, Rubalcaba performs a deeply meditative "Maferefun Iya Lodde Me," highlighting its deep-rooted spirituality. "Derivado 1," "Derivado 2" and "Derivado 3" emerge from this piece: the first a terse prelude, the second atmospheric and spacious, and the third, beautifully lyrical, closes the album. Rubalcaba's tributes to John Coltrane, the virtuosic "Improvisation 1" and "Improvisation 2," are based on "Giant Steps" chord changes, and two interpretations of "Blue in Green" and two of "Con Alma" explore these memorable melodies through alternate tempos and temperaments. Rubalcaba's own pieces display his compositional strength and creativity: The contrapuntal "Oro" captures the rhythmic complexity of the batá drums, while the multi-sectioned "Joan" navigates various genres and tones. Rubalcaba's meticulous efforts are apparent, from the choice and performance of the material to the impeccable sound and beautiful package.

Today Anchorman: The Legend Continues hits Blu-ray and DVD with two alternate cuts. One an R-rated version that recently played theaters, while the other is a 143 minute "throw everything in" version. But it seems they're looking to release a fourth cut of the movie, one that contains — instead of the 763 new jokes from the R-rated version — zero jokes. Can Anchorman 2 be played straight?
The clip highlights a dramatic scenes between Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate in which the two are on the verge of splitting up. Instead of playing it for laughs, this scene just goes for the truth, with dramatic music highlighting the tensions between the two. Could this work for the whole movie? Watch the clip and see:
Okay, so this is obviously an April Fool's Day joke, but unlike the majority of the "Justin Bieber is cast in Star Wars: Episode 7"-type gags, this is at least modestly clever. Perhaps a new generation will find something funny in April Fool's Day jokes on the internet, but lying at great length in ways that are obvious seems to have run its course as anyone who's been online through one of these days knows to keep their guard up. It's hard to deliver a joke when you know a punchline is coming, so it's only the people who can subvert or deliver on those expectations who can make anything funny out of this stupid holiday. This Anchorman 2 thing comes close.
Do you have a favorite April Fool's Day joke?

84The certificate of total benefit
(1)It shall be for the compensator to apply to the Secretary of State for the certificate of total benefit and he may, subject to subsection (5) below, from time to time apply for fresh certificates.
(2)The certificate of total benefit shall specify—
(a)the amount which has been, or is likely to be, paid on or before a specified date by way of any relevant benefit which is capable of forming part of the total benefit;
(b)where applicable—
(i)the rate of any relevant benefit which is, has been, or is likely to be paid after the date so specified and which would be capable of forming part of the total benefit; and
(ii)the intervals at which any such benefit is paid and the period for which it is likely to be paid;
(c)the amounts (if any) which, by virtue of this Part of this Act, are to be treated as increasing the total benefit; and
(d)the aggregate amount of any relevant payments made on or before a specified date (reduced by so much of that amount as has been paid by the Secretary of State to the intended recipient before that date in consequence of this Part of this Act).
(3)On issuing a certificate of total benefit, the Secretary of State shall be taken to have certified the total benefit as at every date for which it is possible to calculate an amount that would, on the basis of the information so provided, be the total benefit as at that date, on the assumption that payments of benefit are made on the days on which they first become payable.
(4)The Secretary of State may estimate, in such manner as he thinks fit, any of the amounts, rates or periods specified in the certificate of total benefit.
(5)A certificate of total benefit shall remain in force until such date as may be specified in the certificate for that purpose and no application for a fresh certificate shall be made before that date.
(6)Where a certificate ceases to be in force, the Secretary of State may issue a fresh certificate, whether or not an application has been made to him for such a certificate.
(7)The compensator shall not make the compensation payment at any time when there is no certificate of total benefit in force in respect of the victim, unless his liability to make the relevant deduction and the relevant payment has ceased to be enforceable by virtue of section 96 below.

Publication Type: Journal Article
Journal Title: Toxins
Date of Publication: 2013
Reference Information: 5(9):
Keywords: euglena; euglenophycin; stability; toxin
Abstract: Euglenophycin is a recently discovered toxin produced by at least one species of euglenoid algae. The toxin has been responsible for several fish mortality events. To facilitate the identification and monitoring of euglenophycin in freshwater ponds, we have developed a specific mass spectrometric method for the identification and quantitation of euglenophycin. The post-extraction stability of the toxin was assessed under various conditions. Euglenophycin was most stable at room temperature. At 8 °C there was a small, but statistically significant, loss in toxin after one day. These methods and knowledge of the toxin's stability will facilitate identification of the toxin as a causative agent in fish kills and determination of the toxin's distribution in the organs of exposed fish.

All kinds of things happening with Danna Banana. Perhaps the coolest is my work at PS 40 in Brooklyn through the good offices of Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC). I was hired as a teaching artist for first and second graders who had no music instruction at their school. We met Friday afternoons, February thru May. As the weather got warmer, it got harder and harder to contain all that energy at the end of a long school week. Nevertheless, we had some amazing kids, and amazing voices. (the volume attained even between songs, saying 'i was here FIRST!' or 'You CUTTED!' should be investigated as possible weapons-grade sonic defense system).
Our final program included songs from Canada, the United States, Spain and the Carribean. We did a killer version of Jamaica Farewell, complete with dances. And we made masks for Scary Monster Train, and when we stomped menacingly toward the crowd, they were scared. Even though are masks were pink. Check it out:

Welcome back, here is part 2 of the Quest Crew interview! In part 1 of the interview, I asked the boys about what they like to do in their downtime, but before we got the chance to get to Dominic, I had to ask about their favorite video games… Now, here are Dominic's "hobbies," in full glory: More »
Last Tuesday, I got the chance to catch up with Quest Crew after the live taping of episode two. If goes without saying that all the members of Quest Crew are extremely talented individuals, but after speaking with them, I can safely add a few things more to the list: hilarious, friendly, humble, fun-loving, down to earth, determined, adorably boyish—okay, I'll stop there… More »
Ningin was able to catch a quick interview with award-winning filmmaker Kimi Takesue. Her latest short film SUSPENDED is screening at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Kimi's films have screened at over 200 venues around the world, including the Locarno International Film Festival, Rotterdam International, San Diego Asian Film Festival, Los Angeles Asian International, Vancouver International, London's Institute of Contemporary Art, and the Walker Art Center. Not only that, but her films have also aired on PBS, the Independent Film Channel (IFC), and the Sundance Channel.
SUSPENDED will screen again this Thursday, January 22, 11:30pm at the Library Center Theatre, Park City, Utah, as part of the Sundance US Short Films program. More »
Two words that are hardly paired together: veteran kamikaze. While it may seem contradictory for a veteran kamikazes to exist, feature-length documentary Wings of Defeat proves otherwise. Through rare interviews of Japanese veteran kamikaze pilots, the documentary explores the human experience of being a WWII kamikaze pilot. I had the opportunity of to briefly interview Risa Morimoto, producer and director of Wings of Defeat. More »
Hope you guys enjoyed your week as some of us here at Ningin were able to meet Apop princess BoA Kwon. If you've haven't been here with us this week, we interview her in addition to dedicating the majority of the blog posts this week to her.
Go to boa.ningin.com to watch the interview and view the gallery photos.
Here's this week's wrap up: More »
After photographing the Apop princess in person, I noticed that she had many facial expressions. Some were happy, laughing, and contemplative but of course all were cute. As tribute to the time Ningin has spent with her, here are my favorite photos of BoA's expressions from our Intimate Moments gallery.
If you haven't seen the video interview, click here! Also view the rest of the Intimate Moments gallery here: one and two.
Which ones are your favorites? More »

Thanks for being patient! Let us know what you think about the video in this post =)
Part 2 is being encoded now. More »
Today my role was Ningin's third cameramen during our interview with the Apop superstar, BoA Kwon. I basically just walked around with a Flip video camera taking candid videos of BoA and her staff/entourage to possibly add a behind the scenes type angle if needed. We brought a pretty big crew in total, two photographers, three cameramen, one audio guy, and of course the interviewer, Jeannette Eng. Seeing how this was BoA, we brought in all seasoned professionals including Eddie Lebron, director of the Megaman Movie that we've been helping to promote.
I think we were the 5th or 6th interview of the day for BoA having already met with the likes of Seventeen Magazine, Nylon, and others mostly American media sites. By far we were the biggest production crew, though I thought this was standard for someone of BoA's caliber. I don't know how many chances I'll get to spend time with BoA, so I made sure to get squeeze as much as content as I could with the multiple photographers and cameramen. More »
Boa Kwon, easily one of Asia's biggest pop stars, is crossing over to the United States. Even casual fans of Boa know that this is what she's been groomed for since she was a little kid. However, preparation and talent can only go so far. There's a lot of factors beyond Boa's and her management's control.
The number one reason why we started Ningin was for events such as this. Everyone here has a serious passion about Asian media and would love nothing more than to see Boa and every other Asian pop star succeed worldwide. When Boa's management contacted us to help promote Boa's US arrival, we were extremely thrilled to say the least. We understand that communities like Ningin have important roles to play in making changes and so we're taking this very seriously.
Starting today for the next five days, we'll be posting articles, photos, and DVD-quality video related to Boa. We created our own special flash video player (nicknamed the Boa Player) just to accomplish this feat. We'll take a deep look into her history, her achievements, and her goals. We're even going analytical and see why Asian pop stars have a hard time crossing over. As mentioned before, we have an exclusive video interview with Boa herself and we've put together a professional camera team to go film it. Oh, and all this content will be available to download and share under the Creative Commons license. So please download! More »
As Americans have Thanksgiving, Koreans have Chuseok. Every year on Chuseok, Korean families visit their hometowns and have a large feast with their families in this three-day holiday. But this year in NYC, we got our own experience of Chuseok although it wasn't exactly traditional. This year at the Chuseok Festival in NYC, we got to see amazing performances from the talents from JYP Entertainment.
Upon arriving from the train station, we came across a park. We decided the logical thing was to follow the Koreans even though some of them didn't know where they were going either. After walking for several minutes we decided that pathways were for squares and just walked on the grass. The whole time walking, we ranted and raved about the performance we were so excited to see. We found the festival in the up diagonal-ish direction in the park. After our experience with arrows, we decided that arrows are deceiving and evil. More »
The video of the Wonder Girls interview is up! It took us a bit to get the translation and sound fixed. The interview area was about 10 feet from the stage in a little tent so yea, not much we can do about that.
Thanks again to JYP and his company! Also thanks to the interviewer, Soyoung Ahn, and the translation/subbing team, Mia Lerda, David Hou, and Cho Soo Dong.
Enjoy the interview! In case you missed it, here's the link to our gallery from this event. More »
Jay Legaspi always had a song in his heart; he was just waiting for the right time to sing it. Jay's experience with music starts in junior high during the 8th grade when he began playing the guitar. Officially he did not start singing seriously until his college years. In fact he only wrote his first song during freshman year at college, and that was during a holiday break. What is interesting he only embarked on a musical career after he graduated.
He has a voice that is so soothing, I describe it like warm cocoa on a drifty snow day (especially when I heard the song Maggie). His Vocal stylings have a very youthful quality but its combined with unencumbered-poetic-mature-intricate lyrics and it's his lyrics that always tell you a story. His ballads especially have this deep, zenful, mellow soul. More »
The New York Korean Film Festival hosted actor/director Yoo Ji-Tae the 4th week of August for several events. First being the opening reception, where the humble Mr. Yoo answered questions about his part in the cinematic celebration, that has become a staple of the New York art & culture scene.
There is a successful aura about everything that Yoo Ji-Tae works on like his role as the villain in top rated film Oldboy. He was a vital ingredient, in the reason the film was awarded the top prize at 2004 Cannes Film Festival. His many other works are well known throughout Korea and by foreign film aficionados. More the 2003 movie, which he also starred in, "Into the Mirror", has just inspired a western remake called Mirrors.
The historical film "Hwang Jin Yi" was showing at the reception of the NYKFF. The Korean release of "Hwang Jin Yi" took place last year. The film stars himself along side actress Song Hye Kyo, and is based on a North Korean novel. The hype following this movie is do to its cinematic grandeur and has had many recent dramatic adaptations. Besides supporting this films North American release, he promoted his own directorial work with a short film called "Out of my Intention". Due to the many press vying for time with the talented thespian the limit of five minutes was downgraded to three minutes as we waited for everyone to be seated.

Earlier this week I contacted James Yee about him being chosen as a national delegate and what will it will entail at this years Democratic Convention from August 25-28.
James Yee is the "former US Army Chaplain and graduate of West Point who served as the Muslim Chaplain for the U.S. prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba that would become controversial for its treatment of detainees designated as "enemy combatants" by the U.S. government. While ministering to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Captain Yee advised the commanders of the camp on detainee religious practices and objected to the cruel and degrading abuses to which the prisoners were subjected.
As we gear up for next month's release of Ping Pong Playa, here's more of my conversation with Roger Fan. An interview is always about the artist's thoughts. But we had such a great rapport, I couldn't help but share a few of my own. Roger has a natural love for the human race that makes him an excellent listener. Here's more on Asian film, American film, stereotypes, and Justin Lin.
Yeah, I'm the lucky girl standing next to Roger Fan. When I finally met him at "Finishing the Game"'s New York City premiere last October, I felt like we'd known each other forever. Roger, one of the film's stars, was the unofficial blogger of FTG's 2007 Grassroots Tour. Besides spending most of the year at film festivals and campuses, connecting with the fans, Roger also spent countless hours documenting the tour in pictures and funny descriptions, much to the delight of rabid fans like me. If you got a MySpace comment from Finishing the Game, it was most often Roger's doing. We emailed back and forth, and I teased him about how great he looked, bare-chested and suntan-oiled, as the cocky Breeze Loo circa 1973.
Then I interviewed him by phone while writing up Finishing the Game for a local newspaper. Truth be told, I was lucky the article got run at all. Asian-American film is pretty much off the radar where I live; I had only 850 words for a review of Finishing the Game AND a "wide angle" on Asians in Hollywood! But Roger, smart Brown alum that he is, gave me so much great material that would not fit in that tiny box. And I had the tall order of editing it and giving my fellow Midwesterners a taste of what's happening in the Asian-American community.

Gabriels Gully
Gabriel Read had found considerable amounts of alluvial gold while prospecting. He believed there was enough gold in the area for it to be a payable field. He had visited the area following earlier discoveries by 'Black Peter' (Edward Peters), a Hindu who was employed as a casual labourer on a nearby farm.
As the easily mined alluvial gold was exhausted prospectors moved on to find new deposits of gold. Large capital was needed to search for further gold requiring large amounts of water and the building of water races, hydraulic pumps for washing the spoil and later stamper batteries for crushing the hard quartz and freeing the gold.
At the same time hardworking Chinese immigrants came to the goldfields. They were shunned by the European miners and in the 1880's the authorities introduced a poll tax and an annual residence tax that Chinese immigrants had to pay. Never the less they arrived in large numbers and many of them lived in their own settlement at Evans Flat, just north of Lawrence. They reworked the areas the European miners had already worked and the more remote and harder areas.
Gabriels Gully is the most famous of the several goldfields discovered in the area. Others included Munroes Gully, Adams Flat, Weatherstons, Bungtown, Waitahuna Gully, and Waipori.
Gabriels Gully is part of the Otago Goldfields Trail that is supported by the Otago Goldfield Heritage Trust and includes goldfields throughout Otago.

As the 2004 George J. Mitchell Peace Scholars, the students will study at University College Cork or Cork Institute of Technology for one semester during the 2004-05 academic year.

The infamous missing in-game Cross Media Bar. Some want it, some don't. But with the sweet news of a possible positive implementation of universal in-game messaging, who's to be upset about that?
The eagle eyed few spotted an update on the Official US Playstation website, which has now mysteriously disappeared. The mention of in-game messaging is what excites, and its removal only adds to the intrigue.
One savvy individual managed to take a screenshot of the offending new PSN section before it went down, so we can read exactly what was said:
Friends & Messaging: Talk to others during game play, say hello anytime you're online, or have a video chat with an Eye camera, USB Camera, or headset.
The wording appears to be very much deliberate, with "during game play" and "anytime you're online" being the highlights. We all know it's possible, with many games taking up the in-game XMB gauntlet, some with in-game soundtracks (High Velocity Bowling, MLB 08) and others with in-game messaging (TimeShift) or alerts (Devil May Cry 4). We will just have to wait for Sony's announcement, presumably to come at GDC.
We'll keep you posted on any further developments. For evidence of this news, feast your eyes on this screenshot (click to enlarge.)

Update: The original webpage can now be viewed as a google cache screenshot at this address, in addition to the messaging paragraph appearing on the Official Australian Playstation Website.
Are Sony mixing up their words and giving us false hope, or is this a positive reveal just before GDC '08?
