Nine days into the Bangladesh's worst industrial tragedy, rescuers still believe there might have many more bodies in the wreckage of the collapsed building though they have no hopes of finding people alive.
"A total of 429 bodies have so far been pulled out of the collapsed building," Major General Chowdhury Hasan Sarwardi of Bangladesh Army's Nine Infantry Division told reporters at the disaster site. He said they are now putting their efforts to pull out manually six more bodies which were spotted Thursday as the rescuers with cranes and other heavy equipment have been removing huge concrete slabs and chunks of debris.
The EU said it was "very concerned" about labour conditions in Bangladesh. Thousands of Bangladeshi textile factories on Thursday resumed work following an eight-day shutdown after the building collapsed on April 24. Workers in and around the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka returned to duty after the trade group that represents the garment industry decided it was safe to resume work.
The accident is considered one of the deadliest industrial disasters in the country.
"We'll never leave the accident site until recovery of the last body," said the leader of the entire rescue operations. Of the bodies, he said 374 have so far been handed over to their relatives.
According to Chowdhury, the rescuers have pulled alive 2,437 people after the eight-storey building Rana Plaza crumbled.
The disaster has provoked calls across the world for improvements in the condition for workers supplying the garment trade. Retailers in Canada have even agreed to develop a new set of trade guidelines.
Meanwhile clothing store chain Primark has said that it will pay compensation and offer emergency food aid to victims of the factory collapse who worked for its supplier.
Mohammed Sohel Rana, the owner of the building, has been arrested by the police.

Stevie J. Says He's Prepping Joseline To Compete With Beyoncé & Rihanna [Video]
Love and Hip Hop ATL's Stevie J is playing no games! Whether you love him or not, he is ready to take his co-star Joseline Hernandez to the top. The reality star is making his brand known throughout the industry.
In a recent interview with Vlad TV, he expressed his feelings for Joseline, being her manager and how he's priming her for pop stardom.
On changing Joseline's look:
"I saw her on the green screen, poking out – thugged out. Softened it up, sexy it up. Can't look like that competing with the Beys and the Rihs of the world.
Gotta get right. Guidance."
On being her manager:
"I'm doing this because I have an eye for talent and I know what I believ inand I know what the people want to see and it's paying off."On his relationship with the Josline:
On his relationship with Joseline:
"At this moment we're standing at the bank. We be closin deals. With Joseline I can say this, I've seen alot of women in my day as far as business goes – she is going to work seven days a week, so I respect that. As a businessman I respect that, I value that."
Check out the interview below:

The single most requested individual feature for the Base Class Libraries that has not been delivered yet is for support for Time Zones other than Local and UTC. This is a feature we are actively exploring for the next release of the .NET Framework.
To tide people over, we recently released an updated sample that supports the following scenarios:
– Enumeration of Time Zones from the Windows Registry.
– Conversion of a DateTime instance between Time Zones.
The sample can be downloaded from here:
The sample is similar to one that was available in the SDK previously. However, the previous sample did not adjust conversions for Daylight Savings Time. This sample does account for Daylight Savings time in the same way that the DateTime class itself accounts for it for local times. In fact, we used some of the same testing code to verify it.
For those of you that need Time Zone support, we are definitely interested in finding out what your scenarios are. Here are some examples of scenarios under discussion:
– Support for retrieving and changing the Local Time Zone.
– The ability to serialize Time Zone information, for example in the case of storing the information for a recurring meeting.
– Support for Time Zones with rules that change from year to year.
– Ability to pick up time zone data from the operating system.
– Ability to add a custom time zone.
– A data type with a DateTime and a Time Zone offset.
People are often not specific when they request Time Zone support, so if this is something you need, if you can clarify the specific scenarios that are valuable, it will help us build a better product.

If you're planning to trek out to uncharted territory and
don't like getting lost, then the answer may be within your PSP. Sony has
released its GPS Receiver add-on for its handheld game system, which adds
navigation functionality to the PSP.
The GPS Receiver measures 45mm x 41mm x 17mm and weighs
approximately 16 grams. It sits on top of the PSP expansion socket and is
bolted onto the system with a thumbscrew.
The current GPS software enables road car navigation (for
Japan), walking routes, and shops directory – all much like current standalone
GPS offerings. Updates to maps will be offered via Sony's usual network
With the lack of touch-screen functionality on the PSP, its
GPS usability will likely lag behind those of GPS systems with easier input
methods other than using the d-pad. Still, Sony's offering represents one of
the cheapest entries into GPS navigation, provided that you already own a PSP.
The local price for this is 5,000 yen (US$43), but Play-Asia
is selling the import unit to the U.S. for $59.90, plus $8.80 shipping.
While its use as a navigation solution may end up being
quite limited, developers have already incorporated the GPS functionality into
its games. In the Japanese version of the new Hot Shots Golf title, players can use the GPS-enabled PSP as a golf
course map for real golf courses, letting the golfer check his or distances
from the pin, traps and other things. Metal
Gear: Portable Ops integrates the player's physical location into the game
to unlock new locations and characters.
The product is currently only for sale in Japan, but Sony
will likely release it in North America and Europe within the near future.

Re: ps vita download games from media go?
just bought a Vita in Tokyo Friday 17th so let me share my experience :
1) So far I managed to use my PSN European account to connect to Vita (even the japanese version)
2) however, I did not managed to transfer content I just bought from PSN Europe (i purcahsed two PSP games with media go 10mn ago)
3) not sure if this is blocked by Vita or a different Media go software, will double check
BTW, am writing a blog about it , will let you know link when published.
hope it helps
Re: ps vita download games from media go?
No there is a new service simply called content manger (here's a link that you can download now if you want only for windows)

Molecular graphene architectures see the light
|Nature is unrivaled when it comes to the self-assembly of complex, high-performance molecular machinery for light absorption, exciton or charge separation and electron transfer. Molecular nanotechnologists have long dreamt of mimicking such extraordinary biomolecular architectures and rewiring them to produce inexpensive electricity.
|Now researchers from the Departments of Physics and Chemistry at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), from the Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research (Mainz, Germany) and the Université de Strasbourg (France) have modified dye molecules in such a manner that allows them to serve as building blocks of self-assembling molecular networks (Nature Communications, "Photoresponse of supramolecular self-assembled networks on graphene-diamond interfaces").
|On the atomically flat surfaces of a graphene coated diamond substrate the molecules self-assemble into the target architecture in a manner akin to proteins and DNA nanotechnology. The sole driving force stems from the engineered supramolecular interactions via hydrogen bonds. As expected, the molecular network produces a photocurrent when exposed to light.
|Scanning tunneling microscopic topography of melamine linked terrylene-diimide molecules with inserted model of the molecular nertwork (Scale bar: 2nm). (Image: C. A. Palma / TUM)
|From art to application
|For a long time engineered self-assembled molecular architectures were looked upon as arty, says PD Dr. Friedrich Esch, a lead author of the study. With this publication we present for the first time a serious practical implementation of this technology.
|In conventional organic photovoltaics the improvement of molecular order is still a challenge. In contrast, the nanotechnology toolbox provides us with the possibility of an atomically precise layout of the constituting components a priori, says Dr. Carlos-Andres Palma, who co-supervised the study. The possibility of full physicochemical control of the components gives us additional set-screws for functional optimization.
|The scientists now hope to scale up the device configuration and certify the photovoltaic response under standard conditions. Intercalating self-assembled dyes between stacks of two-dimensional electrodes like graphene, opens up the possibility of easy scale-up to efficient photovoltaic monolayer elements, claims Dr. Palma This will put our work on the solar cell technology map.
|Perfect match of surface chemistry and physics
|The scientists used terrylene-diimide molecules as photoactive dyes. The network is formed when the elongated terrylene molecules link up with trivalent melamine. By choosing adequate side groups for the terrylene diimide the authors of the study determine which architectures can form.
|This work is an excellent example of the interdisciplinary cooperation we seek to initiate with the institution of the Catalysis Research Center: a perfect match of chemistry and physics, says Professor Ulrich Heiz, director of the TUM Catalysis Research Center.

VIERA, Fla. - After a series of roster cuts this afternoon, the Nationals' opening day roster is one move from being set.
The Nationals optioned Roger Bernadina and Collin Balester to Triple-A Syracuse today, where those players will join Ross Detwiler, and reassigned Brian Bixler to minor league camp. They also moved Henry Rodriguez to the 15-day disabled list, and put Chien-Ming Wang and Elvin Ramirez on the 60-day disabled list.
The Nationals are now down to 26 players, with the only decision remaining between Alex Cora and Alberto Gonzalez for the final infield spot. Assuming Cora makes it (he's the favorite there), the Nationals will go north with four non-roster invitees (Cora, Laynce Nix, Chad Gaudin and Matt Stairs) and a Rule 5 pick (Brian Broderick) on their opening day roster.
There are a flurry of moves here, so I'm going to throw a couple tidbits in on each of them, and then I'll have a couple more posts, with Broderick's reaction to making the team and a question I want to pose to all of you:
* Manager Jim Riggleman said keeping Nix over Bernadina was one of the hardest decisions the Nationals had to make. Ultimately, they decided Bernadina - who played 134 games in the majors last season - would be better-served by playing every day at Triple-A Syracuse than getting a few at-bats in the big leagues. "We're really looking for the veteran guy," Riggleman said. "Once we decided on Ankiel in center and Morse in left, we were looking for more of a veteran guy there in Nix to pinch hit and possibly come in late in the game, and also for Roger to go play every day." Bernadina, who had a meager .691 OPS in the majors last year, started off well, but finishes the spring hitting just .245. "We still think that Roger's got a chance to be a 450-to-550-at-bat guy, so rather than start off the season with him getting four or five at-bats a week, we're going to send him down there and let him play," Riggleman said.
* Balester was impressive in the bullpen late last year and had a 1.59 ERA this spring, but he loses out on the final spot so the Nationals can keep Broderick, who would have had to be offered back to the Cardinals if he hadn't made the team. So Balester, who seems to have found a home in the bullpen, is a classic casualty of the options game. "We just reassured him that he's pitched himself onto the ballclub," Riggleman said. "We're not letting (him) make the ballclub right now because we've got some other situations where we would lose some people. We feel confident at some point we'll have to call on Bally, and he'll be ready to help us. I think he felt good that he didn't pitch himself off the ballclub."
* With Nix, Stairs, Cora and Rick Ankiel all likely to make the roster - and be on the bench against left-handed pitchers - the Nationals could have a problem in late innings of those games when they need a pinch hitter. On those days, Wilson Ramos or Ivan Rodriguez would be the only right-handed option off the bench, and teams typically don't like to burn their second catcher as a pinch hitter, in case the starting catcher gets hurt. So Riggleman said he might pinch hit for Adam LaRoche with one of the catchers in those games and keep the second catcher in at first base, so he can switch Rodriguez or Ramos to catcher if the other gets injured. In an emergency, he said, Gonzalez or Cora could catch. So, too, could Michael Morse - he caught a few bullpen sessions last year, though the idea of the 6-foot-4 slugger in catcher's gear brought a snicker from one reporter; OK, it was this reporter. At any rate, the Nationals will have to get creative at times against left-handers - Riggleman said they might have to let Stairs face a lefty, something he's done in only 17.3 percent of his career plate appearances. Otherwise, Riggleman said, the Nationals would likely hold him back to face closers, who are mostly right-handed, or could use him in the fifth or sixth inning against a right-handed starter the opposing team might not be ready to pull yet.
More in a little bit.

Prologue (Three)
The next time I saw her was the time I kissed her.
As we lay together on the couch in the stillness of the night, my heart and soul felt calm and right and I knew that wherever she went, I would want to follow. Maybe I was mistaking totally plutonic feelings, but whatever it was (and is), it was (and still is) extremely powerful and euthoric. Can a friend make you feel like they have put a ball of bright light inside you, which soothes and caresses and makes you feel whole? How about a soulmate? Is it possible to have more than one soulmate, so that you can feel you are meant to be with one person when they feel they are meant to be with someone else? Either way, I am digressing, but whatever the case, I do not regret kissing you, Vee. Off topic again, but if i ever come back into existence, I hope it is into a world where anyone can show affection to anyone else (especially when someone looks like they need some) and not be judged because of it.
Have you ever had a moment that you never wanted to end, that you wished time would freeze or even that your brain would crash like a computer, with the moment forever burned into the present? That was my moment; Me and my Morroccon Schoolgirl, if only for one night.
That night wasn't just about me 'trying it on' with Vee, however. We spent a hgreat deal of time talking about everything and nothing and all inbetween, racing against the speeding time to say things you never say to someone you only recently just met. Put two people together, both extremely honest and open minded, and allow them hours and hours alone, and they will get through alot of private and personal things. Not the weather or favourite ice cream toppings, but those wonderful personal things that matter.
I confirmed (and i say confirmed because I almost believed I had imagined the previous conversation) that she was planning to kill herself, and that she was to do it on her birthday. I listened and attempted to understand as best i could (armed with both empathy and the knowledge that no one can ever know exactly what someone else is going through) and found that we were both very similar in this line of thinking, with the exception that she had taken a more proactive approach.
And no, I didn't try to talk her out of it, saying "but things will get better" because who says they will? And even if they are to get better, is it even worth it? As i wrote earlier, sometimes some people just get to the stage where they are tired of life... it beats them down alot harder than someone else. Naturally happier people will not be able to comprehend this, and i am not the best at explaining myself, but i have had the fortune (if it can be called that) of having both a ridiculously happy life (where even when awful things happened, they didn't affect me at all and i sailed through with a smile on my face) and the constantly unhappy life, so i can compare the two ways of thinking, and know they dont correlate. I cannot even find ways to fake feeling as happy as I used to back then, it was a lifetime ago.
From the social normal view of "you must live, and if you want to die, you must still continue to live and suffer whilst trying to find a spark of happiness every now and again" I say... well, i'm not going to say, as i'll have to tick the maturity filter. We all have our seperate lives, and no one should have any control over anyone else, be it to kill them or to prevent them killing themselves. I know sometimes people have temporary bouts of sadness and depression and can rise up to total happiness again, but not me. And i don't think Vee believes she is like that either. But i digress once more.
Hearing Vee choose a deadline for her life's last breath got me thinking about my own. It started subconsciously at first, but the other day when it came to the surface of my consciousness, i realised it was already well thought through. I wanted my date to be on her birthday too, in the hope that we could do it together, so neither of us would have to be alone or afraid at the end. And to be honest, aftre meeting her, i cannot see life being able to continue if she left. She is the most wonderful of people, and it hurts alot to know that she is this way. What I would give for her to have the happy carefree life that she deserves.
I wasn't out to steal her thunder, or to even follow her soul as we both left life, even though that would be something i wanted (Had anyone ever made me so instantly feel complete, alive and normal?) If she wanted to float into none existence alone, i would respect that... i wasn't there to gatecrash whatever moment was there at the end. I just know that I would be too afraid on my own, and if I could bring comfort to her in any way, then all the better. I could ask her for a hug before the end and feel electricity jolt through my heart one last time before it stopped beating, and look into her eyes and show her that everything is okay, our pain is about to end forever. Forever on the date of

Missing creatures

During the making of The Witcher and the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, there were several characters and creatures that did not make the final cut, but which might possibly appear in future sequels.
The Witcher (PC) Edit
NPCs Edit
- Bogut Kuternoga, who seems to be the basic "fence" sketch. The sources of the items he sells including weapons, armor and jewelry are very suspicious. He would have wandered the streets of Vizima having no fixed address. "Kuternoga" translates to "lame duck".
- Boholt
- Kristina, who appears to be some sort of female warrior.
- Maggot, or the "Beggar King", originally conceived as one of the "most respected" beggars in Vizima. He is extremely smart and crafty, and most importantly, knows almost all the inhabitants of the city.
- Halfar and Franz Kniprode, two characters that appeared only in 2004 E3 demo of the game and were replaced.
Creatures Edit
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Edit
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was announced on February 4, 2013, and wasn't released until over 2 years later, following two delays. Unsurprisingly for such a titanic title, the project went through some growing pains as the developers endeavoured to balance their colossal creative ambitions with technical and temporal constraints.
NPCs Edit
- Inquisitor, who was likely later changed to Graden, moral witch hunter who was supposed to appear in Velen and there was a quest, where at end you should chose if he survive or die.
- False Cirilla, she had to appear on Skellige Isles, and use also another name - "Becca". It is not precised if it's her real name or another alias.
- Hvitr, child with minor mental disabilities. He was originally going to make an appearance in a deleted Skellige main quest called thralls.
- Hector Krafft Ebbing, a character that was supposed to appear in secondary quest in Novigrad, even had an voice actor but was because of unknown reson cut from final.
- Iorveth, one of main character from second game, was supposed to appear in one of cellars in Novigrad with his unit and meeting him was to be simmlar to that in Assassins of Kings meaning he would play lute, however the quest was cancelled.
Creatures Edit

Answering Machine
I was really scared. I mean, I lost my little brother the second time in one night and know he is maybe kidnapped or sombodey has done something bad withim. 1000 troughts raced trough my head. What should I do now? Is he okay? Should I tell the police and my parents? Or is it such a joke?...it is halloween. I was confused and could not think clearly. My little brother was lost and I am standing here in a ridiculous costume.
I dicided to tell my parents what happend. I called my mum because my dad would freak out on the cell phone. I started the call, it rings 7 times, and a voice started to speak: The desired intelocutor is temporarily not available. I tried it again but nothing. After that I tried to call my das and his phone was off. It was strange because my dad is always available and especially in such an exceptional situation like this he is not!

The Sunday funnies will add a touch of pink this weekend as more than 50 cartoonists include a breast cancer awareness theme in their newspaper and online comic strips.
Beyond Blondie's pink blouse, Hagar the Horrible's pink beard and Popeye's pink corncob pipe, every strip from the King Features Syndicate will feature a pink ribbon and the tagline "Cartoonists Care."
"Nearly everyone has a connection to this heart-wrenching disease, and we felt it was important to make a powerful statement," says Brendan Burford, King Features' comics editor. "We could think of no better way to do that than by turning the funny pages pink."

The website QVC is making replicas of Kate Middleton's (/Lady Di's) engagement ring for just under $40. I tried to find out the estimated worth of Kate's ring 18K white-gold ring but couldn't find it.
I'm sure there's plenty of people out there who would love a replica, but what do you think? Would you feel cheesy wearing a replica?
|Interesting on Nov 19, 2010 @ 03:00 pm
It's a cool idea, but the word "replica" really just turns me off...
Gorgeous ring though!
|Just Googled it - on Nov 20, 2010 @ 02:25 pm
It was actually a piece of the regular Garrard catalouge and therefore could be purchased by anyone for the hefty price of 28,000 British pounds, or the equivilant of $65,000 US (at 1981 exchange rate.)
|No thank you! on Nov 20, 2010 @ 02:38 pm
I would never wear a replica ring. Jewelry is a very individual choice, so not all pieces suit everyone. Plus that ring has no special meaning to me, whereas it clearly means a lot to William and Kate.
|I was curious too! on Nov 24, 2010 @ 11:37 am
I love sapphire and have always wanted a sapphire engagement ring, so when I heard that Prince William had given Princess Diana's ring to Kate, and that it was going to be a trend all over again I was kinda sad ... I HATE following trends!
That being said, I couldn't resist searching it online and found one that is very similar from Tiffany's for ... get this ... $121 500!!!
Here's the link:

But then there are gemstone sapphire ring for under 100 bucks ... what gives? Maybe someone who knows more about jewels than I do could enlighten me? lol

Nine Months and Counting: Part 16
The hour between Taylor's call and her arrival passes too quickly. I've quickly cleaned everything, taken a quick shower to wash off all paint evidence, and built a crackling fire in the fireplace downstairs in my parents' old living room. I wrap my long sweater tighter around myself and continue pacing the floor, the heels of my brown leather boots clicking softly against the hardwood. I'd managed to find a pair of looser fitting jeans. Dean's mom is not the first person that I want knowing I'm pregnant. Especially not when she has no idea about what actually happened between me and her son.
I finally hear a knock on the door. Taking another deep breath and throwing my hair up into a tight bun, I slowly walk to the entryway. Taylor is standing there, just as petite and pixie-like as she was when Dean and I first met. The only sign of her age are the small grey streaks running through her dark brown hair.
"Hi Brynne. How have you been?" she asks as I move to let her inside.
It always amazes me how much I tower over this woman. "I've been good," I say, leading her into the living room. I rub my hands together and sit on the chair by the fireplace.
"Are you still wearing Dean's ring?" she asks, snatching my hand for examination.
"No," I stutter, a blush spreading across my cheeks. "I haven't worn it in years," I lie.
"So you're engaged again?" she asks.
I nod slowly. "Um…yeah, I am."
"Oh." She sits down in the chair across from mine. A log in the fire pops loudly and I jump slightly.
"So what did you want to talk about?"
Taylor looks down at her slacks, her work uniform. "Brynne, do you know what happened to Dean after he disappeared?"
My mouth gets really dry. "No," I lie. "I haven't heard anything from him since then. I've moved on, like you and your husband told me to."
Her shoulders slump forward and her hair falls over her face. "Well, it's probably better that way."
"What do you mean?" I ask, raising my eyebrows in confusion.
She sighs and slowly looks up. "Brynne, I know you loved my son very, very much. But he's not coming home. They were clearing a field out for construction for a new factory, and they found a few things of his."
I know what they are before she even says it. When the doctor's wife and I buried Dean, his wallet, keys, and ring came off and were moved to other parts of the field.
"The foreman said not to worry about it, they were probably just lost. But when they dug deeper, they found…" she sighs again. "Brynne, they found his body."
I close my eyes and lean forward, putting my elbows on my knees. I didn't think they would ever find his body. That field was marked as a no-construction zone.
"Oh honey," she says softly, mistaking my reaction for sorrow. "I'm so sorry about this. I just wanted to tell you before it was in the news.
"Do they know how he died?" I finally get the courage to ask, slowly sitting back up.
She shakes her head. "They haven't done the autopsy yet. Brynne, I'm really sorry that you have to hear this."
I take another deep breath. "Thank you for coming and telling me," I reply, wanting nothing more than for this conversation to be over. I can feel an anxiety attack coming on. That's probably not healthy for the baby.
"I know this is a strange question, but I need to know," Taylor asks, tears building up in the corners of her eyes. "Did you kill my son?"
All the color drains from my face. "I loved him."
"That's not what I asked, Brynne. I know you didn't, but the police asked me, and I wanted to ask you before they did."
I bite my lip and shake my head, feeling tears start building up in my own eyes. "Taylor, I promise you this, I loved your son with all my heart. I would have never done anything to hurt him."
She nods and apologizes, looking back into the fire. How much longer is she going to stay here?
"So who's Michelangelo?" she asks after another long, awkward silence.
She smiles. "You called me Michelangelo on the phone. Is he your new fiancée?"
I run my hand over my engagement ring and force a smile. "Yeah, he is. It's a recent thing, though."
"Well I'm glad you're moving on," she says gently, pushing herself up from the old wingback chair. "I know this is hard on you, but I want you to know that I've always wanted you to be happy. You deserve that."
I force another smile and stand with her. "Thanks for coming and telling me. I know it wasn't easy," I say, hoping she'll leave soon.
"You're welcome. I just wanted you to find out from someone who cares," she replies, enveloping me in a hug.
I walk her out and close the door behind her. The room seems to get darker and the walls start pulsing. I slide down to the floor and take a deep, shaky breath. I feel Dean's eyes on me and hear his cruel laughter at my pain.
"I did what I had to do to survive!" I scream at his ghost. "You would've killed me," I whisper as I curl up into a ball. "You would've killed me first."

Research Summary
Dominique Soldati-Favre is investigating the mechanisms enabling obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasites to establish infection. Her research aims at dissecting (1) how actomyosin-based events contribute to parasite gliding and organelle biogenesis and (2) how through reversibility, protein palmitoylation controls membrane association, sorting, and functional activities of motor complexes.
Members of the phylum Apicomplexa are of considerable medical and veterinary significance, being responsible for severe diseases in humans and animals. These parasites have adopted an obligate intracellular lifestyle and rely on a common active mode of host cell entry that offers them a unique opportunity to infect a broad range of cell types without stimulating host cell defense mechanisms.
Actomyosin-Based Motility and Organelles Biogenesis in Apicomplexa
Actin and myosins are implicated in a broad range of essential cellular processes, including cell motility, cell division, organelle movement, and chromosome segregation. Apicomplexan parasites possess a repertoire of poorly characterized exotic myosin motors that likely are associated with parasite-specific processes. In the absence of normal appendages for locomotion, such as cilia and flagella, the invasive stages of these parasites use gliding motility to power their migration across biological barriers, to invade host cells, and to egress from infected cells. The conserved molecular machinery that generates motion, called the "glideosome," involves the action of signaling molecules, myosin A and its associated proteins, regulators of actin dynamics, secreted adhesins, and proteases. Apicomplexans also share several myosin motors that are implicated in fundamental biological processes, such as organelle biogenesis and inheritance. In Toxoplasma gondii, the segregation of the plastid-like organelle called apicoplast occurs early during endodyogeny and coincides with nuclear division and daughter cell budding. This organelle is anchored to the centrosomes and associates with the mitotic spindle. Several experimental approaches that perturb actin dynamics lead to a severe impairment in apicoplast inheritance. Myosin F has been identified as a key motor associated with this process. In contrast to the apicoplast, rhoptries are formed de novo at a late stage of cell division, presumably by vesicular budding from the Golgi apparatus. These specialized secretory organelles not only contribute to moving junction—and parasitophorous vacuole membrane—formation but also send effector molecules into the host cell, critically affecting virulence. A conserved protein containing Armadillo repeats is anchored at the surface of the rhoptries via acylation and plays a critical role in positioning the organelle at the apical tip of the parasite. This protein potentially associates with a myosin motor that remains to be identified.
Importance of Protein Palmitoylation in the Biology of Apicomplexa
Protein S-palmitoylation involves the addition of a 16 carbon atoms fatty acid to cysteine residues via a thioester bond and confers an increased hydrophobicity on proteins. The reversible nature of palmitoylation has recently emerged as an important mode of control for biological processes, affecting protein trafficking, stability folding, signaling, and interactions. In T. gondii, key proteins implicated in motility, invasion, and organelle biogenesis are predicted to be palmitoylated. Whereas depalmitoylation involves one or a few acyl-thioesterases, palmitoylation is catalyzed by a large family of multimembrane palmitoyl acyl transferases (PATs) exhibiting a catalytic Asp-His-His-Cys (DHHC) motif that mediates the transfer of palmitate from palmitoyl-CoA to specific substrates. T. gondii possesses 18 genes coding for DHHC proteins predicted to act as protein acyl transferases. These DHHC family members localize to the Golgi, the inner membrane complex, the endoplasmic reticulum, the plasma membrane, and the rhoptries. We are dissecting several palmitoylated proteins localized to different these subcellular compartments to obtain insight into the mode of PAT substrate specificity. Several putative PATs appear to be essential for parasite survival, a finding consistent with a broad and critical impact of palmitoylation on the lytic cycle of these parasites.

Chapter OneDumpster Diving
Hackers pilfer secret data in lots of different ways, but did you they can suck sensitive data right off a corporate network without even touching the network? You might think I'm talking about wireless technology, which doesn't require any "touching" at all, but I'm not. Be a good sport and don't read the two "D" words written in big bold letters at the top of this page, and act surprised when I tell you hackers can accomplish this without relying on a single bit of technology (punny). Or, don't play along, and pretend not to be surprised. In fact, maybe it's better you go on thinking your personal or corporate secrets aren't sitting exposed in a dumpster somewhere, waiting for a no-tech hacker to snatch them up. In that case you better just skip this chapter.
Introduction to Dumpster Diving
Dumpster diving involves ... diving into dumpsters in search of valuable information. I know, it's bad form to use the phrase in the definition of the phrase, but that's what dumpster diving is, or what it used to be. These days, diving is optional. As this next photo shows, I find interesting stuff just hanging out in the open, waiting to be grabbed.
I find valuable trash in plain view all the time, like the insurance bill shown in the next photo, which is visible through the clear trash liner.
The next photo shows a pile of discarded documents belonging to a network administrator. I used my strong power of intuition to determine that these belonged to an administrator.
Judging from the next photo, "Fred" is obviously unhappy with his job—he's hard at work surfing careerbuilder.com in search of a new position. This printout reveals an awful lot about Fred. What else can you tell me about him based on this single document?
For starters, it's very probable that Fred's got a four-year degree of some kind, otherwise he wouldn't have printed out a job description that required that much schooling. It's a good bet that he makes a good deal less than $80,000 a year, judging from the position's salary, that he's looking for a full-time gig, and that he's probably working in the Defense Aerospace industry. Stuff like this makes me want to write Foreign Intelligence Service Recruiting for Dummies. Forget all the hard work of finding a mark's name, email address, employer, educational background, department of defense affiliation and career aspirations. All it takes is a brainless dumpster sweep to find juicy recruiting targets.
Personal info is one thing, but I find sensitive corporate information all the time as well. The next photo shows a purchase order, detailing a company's several thousand-dollar purchase.
Although the form is quite dated, it lists a great deal of information including the client's name, address and phone number, a description of the service (which is technical in nature and reveals information about the inner workings of the client), and authorized management signatures (which may be of use to a forger if the manager is still employed with the service company).
A purchase order isn't really a big deal, but I think the next document might be. It's marked "Do Not Disseminate."
Disseminate is such a big word that I think people might not understand what it means. This causes obvious problems when it comes time to discard (or should I say throw away) the document. Confusing phrases abound though, like proprietary information. I found it written on the next document which was lying on the ground outside a dumpster.
A clearer phrase to use might be "For Internal Use Only." But even this phrase is obviously somewhat confusing, because I found it written on this now-famous dumpster dangling document.
I guess I miss the point of warning phrases like these. Inigo Montoya had it right in The Princess Bride when he said "You keep using that [phrase]. I do not think it means what you think it means." I vote for banning confusing phrases like Proprietary Information and Do not disseminate. I vote for splashing every document with a clearer tagline like "Put In Parking Lot For Everyone To Read." At least then there's no confusion about what people are supposed to do when it comes time to throw the thing away.
And just in case you think it's an awful lot of effort to walk past a dumpster and grab stuff that's hanging out of it, I've got good news. Sometimes if you're really lucky, all you have to do is stand in a parking lot on a windy day and wait for sensitive stuff to blow right into your face. That's exactly what happened to my buddy Mike at work one day. He grabbed the offending document and after discovering it didn't belong to his employer, he shared it with me. Now I'm sharing it with you.
This bunch of scribble might not look like much to the untrained eye, but any techie will tell you that this map outlines everything needed to take control of a computer network. The (blurred) IP addresses is a real live address, and the username (admin) and password (blurred, beginning with the letters "G" and "a") provide everything needed to log into the machine as an administrator. Another password (blurred, beginning with "R0ck3t") written at the top of the page provides access to another private IP address (blurred, ending with "0.57"), and perhaps to other machines on the private network. The routing and subnet map along with terms like packet filter and strict routing reveal that the scribbler is technically adept, while terms like AES128, MD5 and ipsec indicate that he or she is at least somewhat security-conscious, but the simple fact remains that this document was tossed aside (along with other documents Mike didn't bother to pluck out of the air) as if it were not important.
A high-tech attacker could spend hours, days, or weeks poking at the external box in an attempt to bypass AES-128 encryption and IPSEC to gain access to the private network behind it. Even then, he or she would struggle to bypass the security of the internal machines, to gain access to the "rocket" box. On the other hand, a no-tech hacker can bypass the security of the entire network in moments, just by peeling a document off his face and hanging on to it.
Fortunately, this kind of parking lot fodder is pretty rare. Admittedly, I've only seen a handful of cases that were this blatant. Most of the time I have to really push the limits and actually stick my head into the dumpster and peer inside. I discovered the next document in a dumpster on top of an open box of similar papers. The doc lists client names, account information, and a handy list of sales reps, the commissions they made and their Social Security numbers. A rival company might be interested in these documents, but an identity thief would have a field day with them.
When I found the dumpster shown in the next photo, I was disappointed because it had obviously just been emptied. The scattering of white envelopes left behind seemed innocuous enough, until I read the words healthcare information in bold red lettering. The rough, ripped edge of the envelope shown in the next photo seemed to suggest that some dummy had gotten the invoice in the mail, opened it, stuffed it back in the envelope and threw it out for a creepy (talented) no-tech hacker like me. If this were my invoice, I would have shredded it, then used the scraps to line my cat's litter box—which seems to deter even the most dedicated of dumpster divers.
But the white envelope was not alone in this dumpster. I spotted a few more envelopes, each bearing the same scarlet lettering, and realized that each of the other envelopes (like the one shown in the next photo) was unopened, and each one had a different mailing address.
Curious, I walked around to the front of the building to check the tenant listing. Sure enough, the building directory listed the name of the healthcare provider I had seen stamped on the discarded envelopes. At that moment I knew that this was not a careless patient, but rather a careless healthcare provider.
I vaguely remembered something about legislation that threatened stiff penalties for healthcare providers that leaked patient information. A later Google search (yes, Google, and not Yahoo, thanks) revealed that the amendment to the Internal Revenue Service code of 1986, known by the acronym HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act) dealt with patient privacy. Specifically, it accounts for the "Protection of confidentiality and security of health data through setting and enforcing standards" and threatens fines of up to $250,000 for blatant abuses of its suggested standards. Although I knew this was not a quarter-million-dollar offense, I knew someone somewhere would probably be ticked off to know what this company was up to.
So what's the solution? First, raise awareness about the importance of trash. Signs like the one in the next photo are a nice reminder.
A lock to secure the dumpster gate is also a nice touch.
Even if this gate were locked, a motivated dumpster diver would just hop the fence. A gate lock combined with a dumpster lock isn't a half-bad idea, but when it comes to clamping down on dangerous dumpster docs, the golden rule is to shred everything. But shredding is a subjective word. There are lots of varieties of shredders, each of which provides a different level of security. A general-purpose strip-cut shredder will shred documents into vertical strips which can be easily reassembled. A cross cut shredder will cut the vertical strips horizontally. The smaller the resultant shred, the harder it is to reassemble the document. For example, a basic strip-cut shredder cuts documents into 1/8" by 1 1/8" pieces, like the ones shown in this photo.
A top of the line, ultra-aggressive scanner will obliterate documents into 1mm × 5mm dust particles (shown in the next photo) that would frustrate even the world's best spy agencies.
A decent "micro-cut" shredder from an office supply store will cost around $200, and can cut paper, CDs and even credit cards into 3/32 × 5/16 pieces, for better than average security. Generally speaking, you'll get what you pay for. Whatever you chose, anything's better than putting documents in the trash in one piece, or laying them in the parking lot.
It's also smart to know what's in your trash before the bad guys do. If you're in charge of security for your company, consider at least a weekly visit to your dumpster. Get a feel for what's being tossed and what condition it's in when it lands in the big green box. If you're a consumer looking to protect your privacy, get a personal shredder and have a discussion with your family members about what should be shredded before being thrown away. If your family refuses to comply, you might consider relocating them. If they are not particularly noisy, you might find another great use for a dumpster with a lock on the lid.
(just kidding!)
Chapter TwoTailgating
Hackers and Ninja go together like ... smart people and stealthy assassins. OK, in reality, they really don't go well together at all unless you have a really smart ninja or a really deadly hacker, in which case we're more talking about ninja hackers, which in an entirely different breed. Don't even get me started about pirate ninja hackers. But I digress. Hackers and ninja both like wearing black, and they do share the ability to slip inside a building and blend with the shadows. They can also both do that smoke trick—the one that lets them pass through walls unscathed, engulfed by a cool-looking (but smelly) cloud of smoke. Impossible, you say? Hardly. Read on as I reveal yet another bit of pure, no-tech hacker (ninja) magic.
P.S. – I humbly apologize to my Bujinkan brothers and sisters for the stereotypical (but culturally relevant) description of the ninja.
Introduction to Tailgating
Tailgating simply means following an authorized person into a building—basically, riding on their coattails. When I suggested tailgating into a veritable fortress, Vince opted for the washcloth trick. His idea was better given the situation, but tailgating is still one of the best no-tech methods for gaining access to a secured building. Tailgating has become a household term, meaning it's a common problem.

Ever wonder what it would be like to live like a mouse? Crawl underground and check it out! The human-size Mouse Hole is just off Meadowlark Trail and is a fun place to stop on your way to or from the Dr. Ezekiel R. and Edna Wattis Dumke Picnic Grove.
Located at the northwest end of the parking lot, the Forest Service Kiosk is situated to offer beautiful views of Ben Lomond Peak and the surrounding mountains. The kiosk is part of the U.S. Forest Service's Watchable Wildlife tour. It provides tips for viewing wildlife and teaches us how humans can impact natural ecosystems.
Stroll along Birdhouse Trail from the main parking lot to the Visitor Center (.12 mi.) This charming trail boasts over 100 creatively designed birdhouses and birdfeeders. The birdhouses are unique examples of both form and function. Every spring the Ogden Nature Center and the Utah Arts Council sponsor a Birdhouse Competition and exhibit. Many of the birdhouses become part of our permanent collection each year.
Constructed using environmentally friendly building practices, the Visitor Center combines reclaimed wood from the Lucin Cutoff trestle in the Great Salt Lake, a living sod roof to reduce heat absorption and minimize impact on the microclimate and human/wildlife habitat. Inside you'll see a multitude of "green" materials like carpet made from recycled plastics and paints, stains and glues that do not emit toxic fumes. The Visitor Center houses our administrative offices, the Nest Gift Shop, and the Discovery Room which is full of seasonal nature exhibits.
Completed in 2004, the Education Center illustrates sustainable alternative building products and is a beautiful example of passive solar design. In the Louis Scowcroft Peery Classroom Wing, view alternative insulation types such as shredded blue jeans, cellulose and straw bale walls. Check out the crushed sunflower seed hulls or pressed wheat chaff cabinetry, masonry made from fly ash (a by product of coal production), and the cooling tower that helps draw out the hot air during the summer. Our Education Center is home base for our award-winning environmental education programs. When class is not in session, visitors are welcome to observe resident spiders and snakes and to check out the interactive exhibits in the classrooms.
A short walk southeast of the L.S. Peery Education Center will bring you to Arrowhead Pond. Shorebirds such as cormorants, ducks and herons have been spotted here. A bird blind provides a place to quietly view pond dwellers without disturbing the wildlife. Kids will love to watch the Painted Turtles perch on logs and soak in the sun.
Located directly east of the Visitor Center and mews. Here you can peer into a pond from a water-level walkway. Try to find some of the many aquatic creatures that live in ponds, and be sure to look for tadpoles and frogs. A covered pavilion is close by to keep out the sun as you gather your students or family to talk about pond ecology.
Visit our resident birds of prey up close! All of the native Utah birds who reside here cannot survive in the wild because of their injuries, or because they were raised by people and don't know how to take care of themselves. Meet a Red-tailed Hawk, Great Horned Owl, Short-eared Owl, Golden Eagle, Barn Owl, Bald Eagle, Prairie Falcon, Northern Goshawk and other birds.
Want to see where a bear might live? If you do, climb through the human-size Bear Den to experience what it must be like during hibernation. Bears don't live at Ogden Nature Center, but children and visitors enjoy this playful and educational experience. The Bear Den is located on the east side of Habitat Trail.
Follow this path for a self-guided, interpretive trail marked with specific points of interest. Each point provides an introduction to different habitats at the Nature Center – aquatic, riparian, upland and wetland. At each stop, take a moment to observe the environment around you. If you are quiet, patient and watch carefully, you may observe some of the many residents that live in these habitats.
North of the Visitor Center, Teal Pond combines aquatic and riparian habitats. The combination creates a wetland – an area covered with water all or part of the year. Be very still upon approach and you just might see Mosquito Fish, Green Sunfish and Western Painted Turtles. Pelicans like to stop here during their migration and you're sure to see Mallards and other duck on Teal Pond. Look for tracks and scat left by deer, raccoons, muskrats, pheasants and quail.
Get a treetop vantage point for viewing wildlife and the Wasatch Mountains. Through the spotting scope you might see nesting Avocets, Canada Geese, or even a fox hunting for mice and pheasants. In the field to the north of the tower, Jack Rensel and Paul Christiansen from the Division of Wildlife Resources built a Burrowing Owl den, in hopes that someday these ground dwelling owls might decide to move in. The plowed field to the northwest of the tower is a food plot for wildlife. Keep an eye out for visiting Canada Geese or even Sandhill Cranes. The Observation Tower is .35 mi. from the Visitor Center, via Teal Pond.
Take the east trail and curve around to the west to find Blackbird Pond. This is a great spot to view birds, turtles and maybe even Wood Ducks. A beautiful view of Ben Lomond can be seen from the north end of Blackbird Pond. Continue on the path to the northwest to visit the Dr. Ezekiel R. and Edna Wattis Dumke Picnic Grove.
Located at the Dr. Ezekiel R. and Edna Wattis Dumke Picnic Grove, this large pavilion provides a shaded venue for group gatherings. With picnic table seating for up to 100 people, the pavilion offers a unique setting for business meetings, birthday parties and large events. Restroom facilities are available at the site. For rental information, please contact the Nature Center's front desk at 621-7595.
Walk or roll up the handicap accessible ramp that winds around the Tree house for a great view of the Wasatch Mountains. Stairs take you to the top floor where high-powered binoculars give you a closer view of the fields and woods of the Nature Center. Constructed from Douglas fir poles reclaimed from Union Pacific's Luncin Cutoff trestle over the Great Salt Lake, and boards made from wood and recycled plastic, the Tree house is a great place to have lunch. Kids love to play here.
The Dumke Picnic Grove is a favorite destination for young and old alike. Walk quietly along Meadowlark Trail (.64 mi.) to the picnic grove and you might see deer, ducks or fox along the way. Relax in a shaded retreat from the sun and enjoy the large Box Elder and Cottonwood trees, campfire ring, picnic pavilion, restrooms and two tree houses.
