Zynga: Inside the App FactoryBy
I recently spent a day touring Zynga, the creator of FarmVille and other social games that have the tech world talking. With nearly 500 employees, the place is humming with activity and springing lots of cultural quirks. Its massage room, weekly keg parties, and formidable cooking staff are perks reminiscent of Google in its early days.
For an inside tour of this booming business, take a look at this slide show I created. You'll see Mark Pincus, the founder and CEO, and his staff that's divided into 11 game studios throughout the San Francisco offices, each one with its own personality. (For a version of this slideshow that includes my notes and observations, ).

Morris Named a 2013 Military Friendly School
Posted by Miles Taylor '13, Wood Lake on Thursday, Sep. 20, 2012
For the second consecutive year, G.I. Jobs, a magazine for military personnel transitioning to civilian life, awarded the University of Minnesota, Morris the designation of Military Friendly School. The 2013 Military Friendly Schools list honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities, and trade schools that support American military service members and veterans as students.
Morris was selected for this year's Military Friendly Schools list based on several criteria, namely, that it considers eligible military and veteran students for scholarships and in-state tuition without residency. In addition, the University does not penalize military students who are called to active service, and it regularly hosts networking events for veterans. It also employs a staff advisor to assist veterans with career placement after graduation.
The University of Minnesota, Morris has been approved by the Veterans Administration. It offers a Veterans Resource Office and accepts American Council on Education and Military Evaluations Program credits for military experience.
The 2012 list of Military Friendly Schools was compiled through extensive research and a data-driven survey of more than 8,000 schools nationwide. Methodology, criteria, and weighting for the list were developed with the assistance of an academic advisory board consisting of educators from schools across the country.
More information about the Military Friendly Schools list can be found online.

Every August since 1946, the Tarrant Gunville Horse Show and Gymkhana has presented an enduring tableau of rural England. The Show was started after the war to provide an annual activity for local children. It has been held continuously since then, in the grounds of Eastbury House by kind permission of the Farquharson family and is unchanged in character and tradition. Proceeds from the Show are donated to local charities.
The next show will be 19 August 2017.
The Handy Hunter X-Country Course
There are 3 classes in this section;
"Open" with jumps of 2'9″ – 3′
"Novice" with jumps of 2'3′ – 2'6″
"Mini", which may be led, with jumps approx. 1'3″
One of the few remaining Red-Rover drives in the south of England.
We have 1 section in the driving class.
A Show Drive with a Red Rover Drive (a 4 mile course
through Tarrant Gunville and the Eastbury Estate)
NOTE: Regrettably these classes have been cancelled for 2016
Hunter classes for all, both large or small
Ridden and working classes for Horse and Pony,finishing with a Hunter Championship.Hugely popular over the years and always well contended.
Show Jumping
Best Turnout and Handy Pony, and Show Jumping (including minimus).
Show jumping classes for lead rein,
beginners and the more experienced riders.
A medley of traditional competitions for children who love to horse-around!
Perfect entertainment in Ring 1 for all the family to take part in! For children and their ponies, this is a highlight too.
Dog Show
Numerous classes for all dogs and their owners to enjoy.
The show concludes with a Family Dog Show and an emphasis on humour! For those with or without equine interests, this is a great finale to the days competitions and enjoyment.
Building on the great success of our evolving cross-country course, this now includes a Coffin, Trakehner, Steps, Tree Trunks, Corner, Palisade, Roll Top and a Quarry. These are a few of the many exhilarating course obstacles. There are lots of different jumps with an extended course for the Open class.
We now have 3 Cross Country classes, starting with the Open class (2'9″ – 3′), followed by Novice class (2'3″ – 2'6), and a Mini class (1'3″) which may be led. These classes are a perfect opportunity to give young green horses (and children!), both young and older riders, experience for hunter trials and pre-season hunting practice.

The basic TVii interface
Source: Nintendo
Nintendo promised that its Nintendo TVii service for the Wii U would launch in December and yesterday they made good on that promise, sort of. Some of the features launched but others, like support for TIVO DVRs, did not (support for other DVRs seems to be off the table for the near future at least). I took the feature for a quick spin and came away mostly disappointed, to be honest. Let's run down my frustrations.
[Nintendo's Wii Mini reviewed, found lacking and I finally got my hands on a Wii U]
First of all the Wii U's remote functionality is severely hampered by only supporting two devices. If you have an A/V receiver you're more or less out of luck. In my case I have a cable box provided by Time Warner Cable, a Sharp Aquos TV and a Pioneer A/V receiver. The Wii U supports cable box and TV. Now the only thing I ever do to my TV is turn it on or off. All the action happens on the cable box and receiver. I wound up telling the Wii I had a Pioneer TV and found a setting that would switch the inputs on the receiver, though it doesn't work for the volume controls. It's better than nothing but Nintendo really needs to understand a lot of living rooms have A/V receivers these days. The first thing you need to do with Nintendo TVii is set it up. You feed it your zip code and it offers you a bunch of TV providers. You pick yours in order to get TV listings on your console. You're also supposed to pick favorite TV shows, channels, movies and sports teams but of all of those I could only choose sports teams. The rest were timing out during my initial setup. I was able to go back and add some later so maybe I just hit a glitch. The main TVii interface (accessed by the home button rather than the Wii U menu) has 5 main options: Favorites, TV, Movies, Sports and Search. If you drill into one of these (aside from Search) you'll get sub-menus like Featured, Live, Recommended and sometimes Grid. Let's gripe about Grid first. Grid shows your local TV listings. ALL of your local TV listings. I've found no way to filter based on HD vs SD, or hide all those home shopping channels. When Grid pops up I see channels 0-6 and the content I watch starts around channel 1100. That's a lot of scrolling through things that don't interest me. So forget Grid. Let's go back to the TV section. The show Revolution is listed under Featured. If I click on it I get 3 more sub-menus: Episodes (the default), Show Info and Cast. The Cast section both identifies cast members and lets you see what other shows and movies they've been in. It's OK but it's no IMDB. Show Info give a paragraph about the show but Episodes is where the meat is. The screen shows two rows of tiles, each tile representing an episode (if you want to look at Season 1 of a show that's been on for a decade expect to do a lot of scrolling). When I click on one of those I'm told where/when I can watch. In the case of Revolution I'm offered links to watch on HuluPlus or Amazon Instant Video. Picking either of these closes the TVii app and fires up the respective streaming app. So far so good. Revolution isn't currently on live TV. Let's back up and look at the Live submenu under TV. The featured show is SpongeBob Squarepants. OK let's drill in; everybody loves SpongeBob right? Now I get a list of episodes and when they're playing. One is playing now, another starts in 22 minutes and so on. It goes out quite a ways; I got tired of scrolling when I was looking at listings that come on in 3 days. So if I want to watch the SpongeBob that is playing now, I'm first asked what channel I want to watch it on (it's playing on two, SD and HD versions of the same station). I pick one then I get a message saying "The TV Input needs to be set to your cable box. Is it?" It is not so I tap on "No, Change Input." And the Input is moved forward one notch, which in my case means to my Xbox. Same prompt, and I tap "No, change input" again. Now I'm on my X-51 PC. Another tap. An empty HDMI port. Tap again. Internet Radio... well you get the idea. With my reciever I have to hit that button 10 times to get to the TV input. When I finally say "Yes" to the prompt, the channel changes accordingly and I'm finally watching SpongeBob. At this point the Wii U tablet says something about a TV Tag feature that isn't available for this show. Maybe I can find something during prime time that supports this feature. You can see the potential here but TVii needs to be smarter. I need to be able to tell it what Input my cable box is on, even if it's as clunky as programing it to skip ahead 10 inputs when I want to go from Wii U to cable box. Right now it's much easier to just grab another remote and tune this stuff manually.. I'm not done griping though. Right now TVii searches HuluPlus and Amazon but not Netflix (that's coming, we're told). There's no support for or acknowledgement of Amazon Prime Instant Streaming (I'd like to know if I can watch a show for free before enduring the glacial Wii U load times involved with switching over to the Amazon app.) There's no way to teach it that I have an HBO subscription but not a Showtime sub. The search isn't great anyway. I tried to add SyFy's show Haven to my Favorites but the search couldn't find the show, even though it's on tonight. According to the Movies section there are no movies playing on TV as I write this. How can that be true? So what movies is Recommended showing me? Tom Hanks in Big and Reservoir Dogs. Huh? Maybe I shouldn't have tuned into SpongeBob after all. It isn't all bad, though. It is handy to be able to search for (some) content across TV listings and streaming services. Once they get everything included that'll be pretty handy, and Nintendo says they're working on the loading speeds of all the apps. So let's called Nintendo TVii an interesting first step, but for now that's all it is. I'm looking forward to the service being improved upon and expanded, but for now I wouldn't call Nintendo TVii a system seller. I really think they pushed it out before it was really ready in an effort to make good on that 'December' promise. I think they may have done themselves a disservice though. You only have one chance to make a good first impression and as it stands now TVii doesn't make a good first impression.

Celebrity Mugshots: Lil Kim
Busted: 1996
Where: Bergen County, N.J.
Offense: Possession of Marijuana
In case some of you are too young to know who Lil Kim is, she was basically the "It" female rapper back in the '90s thanks to Notorious B.I.G. and Puff Daddy (now known as Diddy).
Back in her heyday, Kim was also a member of Puff Daddy and the Family — well, more than a member. She was basically the queen of the family. And all of this came before Nicki Minaj. Just saying.
History lesson aside (you're welcome), the pint-sized diva was arrested by cops when the home of Biggie Smalls got raided. At least she looks pretty. Pissed, but pretty.


text: ABBOTT PARK, Ill., Nov. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott today announced results from a post-hoc analysis of HUMIRA ® (adalimumab) data in early and long-standing moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients from three randomized, controlled trials —DE019, OPTIMA and PREMIER. The analysis evaluated the simultaneous achievement of three key treatment goals: low disease activity, normal physical function and the absence of radiographic progression at one year. These results are being presented at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting (ACR) in Washington, D.C. In the analysis, low disease activity was measured by the Disease Activity Score 28 based on C reactive protein [DAS28 (CRP)], less than 3.2; normal function was measured by the Health Assessment Questionnaire for RA Disability Index [HAQ-DI], less than 0.5; and the absence of radiographic progression was demonstrated by a change in modified Total Sharp Score [mTSS], less than or equal to 0.5 at one year. Study ResultsFor long-standing RA patients in the DE019 trial, 19 percent (40/207) of patients taking HUMIRA plus methotrexate (MTX) simultaneously achieved all three key treatment goals at one year, versus 5 percent (10/200) of placebo plus MTX-treated patients in the study. DE019 enrolled patients with long-standing moderate-to-severe RA (mean=11 years) and an inadequate response to MTX. For early RA patients in the OPTIMA trial – those who were given open label HUMIRA plus MTX following inadequate response to 26 weeks of MTX monotherapy – 29 percent (102/348) of patients simultaneously achieved all three key treatment goals at one year. This rate was comparable to what was observed in the PREMIER trial with MTX-naïve early RA patients who were treated with HUMIRA plus MTX (32 percent; 87/268). OPTIMA and PREMIER enrolled early moderate-to-severe RA (mean=0.4 and 0.7 years, respectively) and MTX-naïve patients.

On May 28, staff writer Linda Hall had an article on the new, federally manipulated, Common Core curriculum.
What parents need to understand is really a deceptive Trojan Horse, a national program, written and controlled by a national cartel. The majority of Americans know nothing about this program and have had no opportunity to voice an opinion on it.
State education boards have signed onto Common Core because of promised grants. But as with all grants there are strings attached. So, in order to get this grant money, the school boards must comply with mandates, circumventing parental and local controls.
Nationalized Education is contrary to States Rights and the U.S. Constitution: Our Founding Fathers realized that by controlling all the information going into the minds of the people is how a despotic government and dictators take over a nation. Examples of such governments, Nazi Germany, communist countries like Russia, China and Cuba.
Common Core is really international, driven by UNESCO and Agenda 21: This is how their sustainable development will be pushed into every school and university.
There is much money to be made, for computers and e-books, and special interests with billions of dollars driving the push to Common Core. People like Bill Gates and the Pearson book companies who will be making millions because of every child using e-books for their learning.
Some of the things wrong with Common Core 1) math standards are lowered, like in Utah and Massachusetts. And a confusing form of geometry is taught that was thrown out of the Soviet Union 50 years ago. 2) English standards will cut classical English literature and lowers the standard from 80 percent to closer to 50 percent. By the time students are in high school, the ratio will be down to 30 percent. The majority or reading will be informational text, such as reading a computer manual.
Why is that so bad? Classical literature is the foundation of our nation. It teaches children to investigate their surroundings, to make wise decisions, to have empathy; to know the difference between good and bad. To exercise their liberties.
We are not programming machines, we are teaching children. Common Core does not help in forming the minds and hearts of our future men and women.
Remember, if it is too good to be true and follow the money.
For God and country.
Gregory J. Tekautz
You mean like CO2 inside of a gallon of Coke,giving you a gallon of carbonated beverage? That's easy,and can be done with critical thinking. Can you explain why a barrell of oil is 48 gallons, but a barrell of nearly anything else is 55 gallons?
2 + 2 = 4,no matter how you get there,it will NEVER equal 5 and therefore no reason can be given for 5 being correct with an explanation of the process taken to get to that answer.
Oklahoma announced today that they are repealing the CC standards. Even though the percentage of their kids showing competence and English and math is in the low 20's.
The same folks who wrote their current curriculum are going to be given the task of devising a new one. Gee, that sounds lke a good plan.
The Governor was fairly straightforward about why the repeal passed in the OK legislature, and why she was happy to sign it: Obama supports CC, therefore she opposes it.
Common Core teaches reasoning, like illustrating all the combinations that can reach an answer of 10. Different combinations that add up to 10, multipliers to get to 10, dividing to reach 10, subtracting to reach 10. Common Core helps prepare students in a practical sense for real life, not just being able to recite by rote 2 + 2 = 4. Bam, can you explain why 1 gallon of a gas can fit inside 1 gallon of a liquid producing 1 gallon of mixture (1 + 1 =1)?
I know that 2 + 2 = 4.but common core teaches that 2 + 2 can equal 5,if they can explain how they got to that number.The student is then given a "A". That in a nutshell is Common Core!
Almost everything in this letter is incorrect or a bold-face lie. There are a lot of issues with the Common Core, but none of them are listed here.
"national cartel, nationalized, despotic, mind control, nazis, communists, Agenda 21 & UNESCO, Sovet Union, programming people."
"Signed, the John Birch Society Conspiracy Committee"
The Common Core curriculum has been a point of contention from conservatives. As I read Mr. Tekautz's letter it is evident that his letter reflects the talking points of conservatives. Has he ever been in a classroom where the Common Core has been taught? Several of my teacher friends have all agreed that the curriculum emphasizes strengthening thinking, and cognitive mental skills. To think beyond the box. Literature is read and encourages the student to go beyond the story and stress examination of literary aspects and develop thinking skills. Traditionally our education has emphasized memorization and not thinking. What are conservatives afraid of..? That we may have a population of thinking individuals that can see beyond the conservative agenda. Our educational system has been dumbing down our young population. It is time that we are able to compete educationally with other developing nations. Mr. Tekautz, take a change and visit a classroom instead of making assumptions about something you have no first hand knowledge.
Mr. Tekautz begins with a baldfaced lie, and his letter goes downhill from there.
The CC standards were not "written and controlled by a national cartel." The initiatve to devise educational standards came from the STATES, and in each state the Governor's commissions drew input from teachers, administrators, parents, and educational experts.
Why did they do this? Because it was increasingly clear that the patchwork of radically different and unequal educational standards across the country was hurting the nation -- economically, politically, and socially. That patchwork was also radically unfair: Kids who lived in districts with low standards weren't able to compete in the job market. Kids who moved from one state to another could find themselves hugely behind (or ahead of?) the local school curriculum.
Now that the standards have been announced, people are finding plenty of things to quibble about. No doubt they're not perfect. But I'm afraid I'm not inclined to believe that Mr. Tekautz's criticisms reflect an informed or objective viewpoint. For example, it is simply NOT true that CC will "cut classical English literature." It doesn't "cut" anything. Instead, the CC provides LONG lists of classical and modern literary texts that schools can choose from to meet the goals.
Meanwhile, I'm completey flummoxed by Mr. Tekautz's nonsensical assertion that the CC "lowers the standard from 80 percent to closer to 50 percent." Lowers WHICH standard? To 50% of WHAT? Perhaps Mr. Tekautz's own proficiency in English and math could use some brushing up.
Well, if you wish to believe with Mr. Tekautz -- against all evidence -- that the CC standards have been imposed on us by the Feds as part of a communist "one world" plot, I guess you're welcome to do so. Just please don't ask me to take you seriously.

Over the course of a ten day ACEND-approved enrichment rotation in Italy, you will gain insight into the enthralling Italian culture and the food which anchors the Tuscan lifestyle. You will begin in Sansepolcro, Italy, a small sixteenth century walled town located in the heart of Tuscany about halfway between Florence and Rome. You will spend time among the many rustic and ancient buildings of Sansepolcro truly gaining a sense of what it is like to live in this exquisite country.
The program also includes multiple cooking classes taught right in Sansepolcro by a native Italian, who will instruct you on how to transform fresh, seasonal foods into beautiful Italian meals and who will also give you a true sense of the Italian lifestyle. Students will experience the common meal patterns of Italy, become familiar with Italian etiquette and food practices, and learn how to prepare many of the traditional Italian dishes in order to enrich their education in nutrition.
The program will conclude in Rome, where students will once again see the integration of various influences into the Italian culture. By participating in this program, you as a future dietitian will gain a cultural awareness which can only be obtained through travel and immersion, that is critical to the effective communication of diet and health.
Dates April 25 – May 5, 2017
For more information and program costs see brochure or contact Mrs. Cathie Ostrowski at firstname.lastname@example.com
Supervised Practice
Meredith's dietetic interns have the opportunity to work in some of the world's most prestigious institutions, organizations, medical and research centers, and health and wellness facilities. Students will rotate through six supervised placement sites during their internships.
There are 29 weeks of hands-on practice, supervised by Registered Dietitians (R.D.s) in three primary settings — medical nutrition therapy (13 weeks), community nutrition (8 weeks), and food service management (8 weeks). During medical nutrition therapy and community nutrition placements, students learn to assess patients, counsel them about relevant diet and nutrition issues, and make appropriate referrals. In the food service management placements, students participate in all aspects of management and administration — from inventory and purchasing to staffing, creating menus and planning events with nutritional themes. 9 credit hours
Medical Nutrition Therapy Seminar
This is one of two graduate courses that dietetic internship students take; the other is a graduate level elective. 6 credit hours
Enrichment Experiences
This concludes the program, adding to the number of hours of supervised practice obtained during the program year. Students design an individual experience and set goals in any area of dietetics for this experience. 1 credit hour

Elsewhere there are tons of other little playback tricks and functions that we'll let you discover, but pause/rewind live TV is always worth a mention – this displays a logo in the bottom corner reminding you that you're watching delayed playback.
As for performance, the EX83 is generally impressive. Channel tuning is over in a flash, cursors dart round menus in an instant, and unlike Panasonic's Blu-ray decks there are no delays when moving from one menu to another. There's a slight delay when changing channels but nothing too frustrating.
Picture quality is as good as Freeview can be. Every channel looks solid and stable, with strong but natural colours and plenty of detail. There's a slight hint of over-sharpening around some edges, highlighted by dark objects against coloured backgrounds, and intense detail or movement causes a bit of shimmering, but on the whole the on-board DVB-T Adaptive Noise Reduction keeps the image looking crisp. The BBC News ticker, for example, scrolled across the screen with sharp edges and no judder.
Recording quality is excellent in XP and SP modes, surprisingly sharp in LP and hideous in EP, due to the low bitrate used. Images look fuzzy and juddery – a shot of a spinning roulette wheel was a complete blur – so we don't recommend using EP for programmes with a lot of fast movement. Accompanying these pictures is clear, audible sound, captured on the hard disk by Dolby Digital Stereo Creator. You also have the option to record audio in space-hogging LPCM in XP mode, but there's no real difference in quality.
Finally, DivX, MP3, WMA files play back from the hard-disk or USB drive without any problems, and as an added bonus JPEGs can be displayed in hi-def and look fantastic on an HD TV.
Like the DMR-EX79 before it, the DMR-EX83 is a top-notch digital recorder that puts many of its rivals to shame. Not much has changed since the previous generation, but why tinker with a winning formula? It's teeming with features, provides superb live Freeview pictures and recordings, and it's generally easy to operate.
Some areas need work though, primarily the terrible EPG, and the inclusion of only one Freeview tuner is as grating as ever. What's more, at £330 it's by no means cheap, and with Freeview HD looming on the horizon you'll need to decide whether it's worth splashing out that much now or hanging on until someone launches a similar recorder with built-in Freeview HD, which they inevitably will at some point.
So, basically it's the same as the EX79, but without the SVHS input.
i waanaa buy thiz plz tell me how i buy thiz
Having experienced problems connecting an LG DVD recorder to my Panasonic DMR- TX-a26LXD52 TV would the EX83EB-K be a compatible option?
Having recently experienced problems after connecting an LG DVD recorder to my Panasonic TX-26LXD52 would the Panasonic DIGA DMR-EX83EB-K be a better option?
Can you transfer freesat recorded programs and films on to DVD using this machine. I am assuming I'll need all the necessary connections - scart socket (in) and scart socket (out) on a freesat box. Please advise.

I sure hope I don't regret moving into a larger 5-series.. I've heard some negatives about the steering having a disconnected feel.
On a side note, I noticed I wasn't able to have Black Sapphire as a color option with the M Sport package. Anyone have the Carbon Black? I hear it looks kinda blue but have yet to see it in person. Should I just stick with Jet Black?

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Navy Secretary Ray Mabus says the naming of the Navy's newest submarine Mississippi honors the resilience and patriotism of his home state.
The former Mississippi governor will be the main speaker when the Navy christens the attack submarine this weekend at a ceremony at Groton shipyard.
He told The Associated Press in an interview Friday that the Virginia-class sub ought to be a source of pride for a state that has "come back from a lot" including the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
The submarine will be commissioned as the USS Mississippi at a June 2012 ceremony in Gulfport, Miss. It is the fifth Navy vessel to be named for the Magnolia State.
The $2.6 billion vessel is to be christened Saturday at the shipyard of Electric Boat.

This protocol describes the use of microinjection and high resolution imaging in the Drosophila melanogaster syncytial embryo to study mitosis.
Date Published: 9/15/2009, Issue 31; doi: 10.3791/1382
Keywords: Developmental Biology, Issue 31, mitosis, Drosophila melanogaster syncytial embryo, microinjection, protein inhibition
Brust-Mascher, I., Scholey, J. M. Microinjection Techniques for Studying Mitosis in the Drosophila melanogaster Syncytial Embryo. J. Vis. Exp. (31), e1382, doi:10.3791/1382 (2009).
This protocol describes the use of the Drosophila melanogaster syncytial embryo for studying mitosis1. Drosophila has useful genetics with a sequenced genome, and it can be easily maintained and manipulated. Many mitotic mutants exist, and transgenic flies expressing functional fluorescently (e.g. GFP) - tagged mitotic proteins have been and are being generated. Targeted gene expression is possible using the GAL4/UAS system2.
The Drosophila early embryo carries out multiple mitoses very rapidly (cell cycle duration, ≈10 min). It is well suited for imaging mitosis, because during cycles 10-13, nuclei divide rapidly and synchronously without intervening cytokinesis at the surface of the embryo in a single monolayer just underneath the cortex. These rapidly dividing nuclei probably use the same mitotic machinery as other cells, but they are optimized for speed; the checkpoint is generally believed to not be stringent, allowing the study of mitotic proteins whose absence would cause cell cycle arrest in cells with a strong checkpoint. Embryos expressing GFP labeled proteins or microinjected with fluorescently labeled proteins can be easily imaged to follow live dynamics (Fig. 1). In addition, embryos can be microinjected with function-blocking antibodies or inhibitors of specific proteins to study the effect of the loss or perturbation of their function3. These reagents can diffuse throughout the embryo, reaching many spindles to produce a gradient of concentration of inhibitor, which in turn results in a gradient of defects comparable to an allelic series of mutants. Ideally, if the target protein is fluorescently labeled, the gradient of inhibition can be directly visualized4. It is assumed that the strongest phenotype is comparable to the null phenotype, although it is hard to formally exclude the possibility that the antibodies may have dominant effects in rare instances, so rigorous controls and cautious interpretation must be applied. Further away from the injection site, protein function is only partially lost allowing other functions of the target protein to become evident.
Grape Juice plates:
Mix all ingredients and microwave until boiling.
Add 2.8 ml acid mix (acid mix: 20.9 ml propionic acid, 2.1 ml phosphoric acid, 27 ml H20)
Mix and pour onto 35 mm Petri dishes. Let solidify at room temperature for one or two days. If plates are not going to be used soon, seal with parafilm and keep at 4°C (allow to equilibrate to RT before using).
Yeast paste:
Dissolve about one teaspoon of yeast (Sigma YSC2, yeast from Saccharomyces cerevisiae type II) in water to form a thick paste. Place a small amount of this on each grape juice plate just prior to use.
G-PEM buffer:
Injection buffer:
Heptane glue:
Unroll double sticky tape and place in a 100ml bottle, add about 50ml heptane, seal the bottle, and rock for several days. When using, add heptane if the glue is too thick.
Dehydration chamber:
Take a 100 mm Petri dish, put one part of a 35 mm dish inside to make a "table" and add Drierite (anhydrous calcium sulfate) around it so that the height of Drierite is no higher than the "table" and cover. The coverslip with embryos will be placed on this "table" for dehydration before injection. It is a good idea to use at least some indicating Drierite and change it when it has changed color.
This protocol can be used for injection of virtually any soluble reagent into the Drosophila syncytial embryo: For example, either a fluorescent protein for observation or a target protein inhibitor or both.
Getting everything ready:
1.- 2 to 3 days before experiment, make grape juice plates and set up lay cage: Take a plastic bottle (6 oz, round bottom from Applied Scientific Drosophila), cut two small holes (about 1cm2) on opposite sides of the bottle and fill with a cotton piece (this will allow air to flow), tap the flies into the bottle and cover with a grape juice plate. Keep at 25°C (or room temperature), flies should lay embryos for about 10 days.
2.- At least one day before the experiment pull needles for injection, we use a Kopf Needle/Pipette puller model 720 and thin walled glass filaments (World Precision Instruments tw100f). For injection of fluorescent tubulin, keep needles at 4°C to prevent temperature-induced polymerization in the needle.
Tubulin preparation:
Note: All work with tubulin should be done at 4°C to prevent polymerization.
Antibody or chemical inhibitor:
Prepare needles as for tubulin, using an appropriate concentration (this may need to be tested). The antibody can be in injection buffer, G-PEM buffer or PBS. If another buffer is needed, this buffer will need to be injected as a control to make sure this buffer causes no damage on its own.
Note: Inhibitor and fluorescent tubulin can be mixed and injected together if the concentrations allow it. Otherwise, inject the fluorescent tubulin and wait 5 to 10 minutes before injecting the inhibitor. When performing a double injection, start with more embryos, since fewer embryos will recover normally.
Embryo collection:
Coverslip preparation:
Embryo preparation:
Note: Embryos should be imaged about 2 hours after start of collection, so begin the following steps allowing sufficient time to finish them within this time-frame.
Embryo injection:
Image the embryos on a confocal microscope with a 60 or 100X objective:
Figure 1: Study of mitosis in the Drosophila syncytial embryo. Nuclei in the early embryo undergo rapid divisions without cytokinesis, during cycles 10 thru 13 nuclei form a monolayer at the cortex. A. Schematic of early embryo with nuclei at cortex. Embryo can express GFP and/or RFP labeled proteins and can be microinjected with other labeled proteins and/or inhibitors. B. Time lapse imaging of embryo expressing GFP-tubulin and RFP-histone. C. Plot of pole-pole separation for cycles 11, 12 and 13 in a wild type embryo. Spindle length exhibits periods of isometric length and periods of elongation, which are very consistent and reproducible. D. Dynamics of spindle microtubules. Injection of low concentration of rhodamine tubulin leads to speckles formed of a few tubulin subunits, which can be used to study microtubule dynamics.

This protocol is relatively straightforward, however, each step requires practice to make sure the embryos are not damaged. Careful control experiments always need to be done to ensure that reliable results are being obtained. One good way to begin this is by microinjecting buffer or rhodamine tubulin into control embryos expressing GFP-tubulin to make sure that mitosis proceeds normally through all cycles at the embryo surface (cycles 10 through 13). In control embryos you should not observe any physical connections between spindles which are often the result of too much dehydration, so lower the dehydration time. When embryos are damaged, nuclear fallout is often observed, free centrosomes or uneven spacing of nuclei or spindles are indicative of damage. Plots of pole-pole distance are very reproducible and are a very reliable measure of "success", in control embryos they should look like those shown in figure 1.
We have used this protocol to study many aspects of spindle assembly, maintenance and elongation using monoclonal, peptide or polyclonal antibodies raised against the protein of interest 1,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13. Specific protein inhibitors or other chemicals affecting the protein of interest can also be microinjected and their effects observed and quantitatively measured. To assess the effect of a particular inhibitor, we compare spindle length after inhibition to that observed in control embryos. We can also look at tubulin dynamics by using Fluorescent Speckle Microscopy14 after microinjection of a low concentration of fluorescent tubulin (Fig. 1d).
We generally collect for one hour and let embryos mature for one more hour before observation, this means that embryos are between 1 and 2 hours old when observed. If the flies are laying well and many embryos are collected in one hour, then the collection time may be shortened so that more synchronously-dividing embryos are obtained. If the timing of inhibition is critical or of interest to the study, the inhibitor can be injected under confocal observation. This is harder, but it is possible nonetheless.
Subscription Required. Please recommend JoVE to your librarian.
This protocol is currently used in our laboratory and has been refined over the years by many people including Drs David Sharp, Mijung Kwon, Patrizia Sommi, Dhanya Cheerambathur. We thank Dr Bill Sullivan (UCSC) who provided us with excellent advice on the manipulation and microinjection of early Drosophila embryos when our work in this system was being initiated (ref. 13). We thank all members of the Scholey laboratory. Our work on mitosis in Drosophila is supported by NIH grant GM55507.

simplifying a summation / integral
I need a simple closed form expression for:
Sum [(qCr)*(x^r)/r]
where qCr is q choose r, i.e., (q!/(r!(q-r)!)
and r is summed from 1 to q
Any thoughts?
I know that the above expression is the same as
Integral[((1+x)^q - 1)/x]
So, it'd help if someone can help computing the integral instead.

Angie Sutherlin's story:
Angie Sutherlin is a former GRCC Student who is now a mom and a certified yoga instructor! Angie was sent to the YogaFit Level 1 training on a scholarship from the Wellness Department last year, and is now teaching Yoga in our community!
I'm so grateful that my instructor's at GRCC encouraged me to take the level 1 yoga instructor class through Yoga Fit. I didn't exactly intend on being a yoga instructor initially when taking the class. In fact I was only introduced to yoga less than a year before. My degree I'm studying is Nutrition Science and I knew it would look good on my resume when eventually looking for a new career. I decided after a year of completing the certification that I wanted to put my certificate to good use. I've been working at a gym now for 3 months. After the first month of my new job, my boss brought up the idea of adding yoga classes to our gym. I'm teaching every Tuesday night at 6:30pm. I love having a skill and new found passion that I can share with people. I also appreciate the challenge and skill I can call my own, especially being a new mom. It's helped me develop more confidence in talking in larger groups and helped me get back into shape after having my daughter. I recommend taking the certification class to anyone. Even if yoga isn't something you're too familiar with just yet because they teach to all levels!
Douglas Dunning's story:
My wellness journey really started years ago as I've always been interested in weight training and getting in better shape. Though my successes were few, I have always tried. With the Wellness Department at Grand Rapids Community College, I gained more than just some moderate success but also a vast array of knowledge. I learned that strength training can include so much more than just "pumping iron." Even though the tae bo type workouts and the yoga absolutely busted my tail, I find that I'm stronger in ways I hadn't been before. Other than that, I felt that my instructor, Cheryl Floyd (Sarge) really thought we had it in us to do even better. She always encouraged us to go that extra mile but never got down on us if we didn't. I believe that this program really emphasized personal achievement over reaching some predetermined goal for the program. I would certainly recommend that any student at CC should definitely invest some time in the Wellness Department.
John Garner's story:
At age 48, I find myself being more health conscious than I was in my younger years. I have had to overcome many obstacles in my life as early as six years old, when a growth was discovered on my right hand (my dominate hand) that turned out to be calcium deposits that had to be surgically removed; The last of three attempts at age nine left my index finger of my right hand to be permanently immobile. I learned to do many things a different way using modifications to account for my limited use of my hand and finger. Learning to write, grip a baseball bat, or even pushups took some creativity on my part.
However, as I approached 40 the calcification became arthritic. My range of motion was becoming more and more limited, making it quite painful to do the simplest tasks like sweeping the floor, brushing my teeth, or simply putting my feet on the floor to get out of bed in the morning. Having had two rotator cuff surgeries (L/R shoulders 1ea.), a knee surgery, and diagnosed with chronic Gout (uric acid buildup that causes inflammation of the joints) I felt as though I was losing my independence.
When I enrolled at GRCC in 2010 I took a weightlifting class to try and strengthen my joints. This worked for a while, but during the semester breaks I would have periods of being inactive resulting in the return of the pains and limited mobility, so this semester I decided to give Yoga a try. I enrolled in the class not really knowing what to expect, yet based on the things I heard about it in the past like the therapeutic value it has. I came in with an open mind, and I now have a new respect for Yoga. It is helping me to build strength from the inside out, and to renew my thought process not allowing outside interference to limit my progress during those fifty minutes on my mat. My mat is like a magic carpet, and when I am on it becomes my new place of serenity where nothing else matters. As a result I am rebuilding myself from within, and I am becoming more focused and in tune with every part of me, Physical, mental, and emotional.
Rus Towne's story:
When I started PE 203 The Obesity Epidemic online class, I had been out of college for a number of years and forgot the stressful Life of College. The weekly assignments from 5 courses, working as a Full Time Firefighter, Part-Time Swim Instructor/Lifeguard and running a family, puts a strain on your body and mind. You forget the important things in life, mainly your health. Professor Gee's course has helped me realize what my priorities are. I am taking the course with my wife, Debbie and we help each other with assignments. A healthy body isn't just having muscles, but what is inside your body and being there for your family. Strong Heart, Strong Mind equals a Healthy Balance.
Debbie Towne's story:
Returning to college with 9 credits after twenty plus years, and carrying a full time job was a bit scary for me. Thankfully I have my husband to help me stay focused on my education. Rus and I are taking the PE 203 online class together. It started out as, a fun idea to take a class together considering it was the start of the New Year, and better yet, I could take this with my husband. I would say now, this class is becoming a great learning experience together.
We both love to eat, unfortunately there is about a foot in height difference between us. One of us doesn't burn the calories off like they used to. I love to eat home cooked meals, Rus loves to eat out. Chapter 9 "Restaurants vs Us" in the class book has excellent examples of a lot "don't, and ooh do you really realize what you're eating" kind of material.
This class is finally getting both of us back on track eating correctly, and the effects it truly has on our bodies. Rus and I are very active, but it is not enough to stay healthy. This is a great class to regain positive energy from after a long day at work. Thank you for helping us get back on track Professor Gee.
Kristine Wright's story:
What started out as a required class has been a blessing! I love feeling better, and my kids love it too. I haven't lost any weight but I am a much happier, healthier person. I have more energy now, and it's a proven fact that exercise helps stimulate the brain (we can all use that for our studies). I have 4 children at home who need me, and I want them to have my best.
Life happens, and the truth is that I'm 'no spring chicken' but I'm okay with that. I play ball with the kids and we have a great time. When I think they need to get outside and play, I grab a ball and they're all smiles and ready to go! As parents we need to set a good example and being fit is part of that. I never have been a big fan of the boys playing video games! We, as a family, have all benefitted from my wellness class. My daughters see that a woman can be strong (mind and body) and nurturing. They are 3 and 5 years old. They call me 'SHERA' how cool is that! Daddy is He-man, of course. It is amazing the amount of energy I now have. I can keep up with kids and that is no easy task! I have twin boys that are 11 years old, and we play basketball and catch often. They still think mom is cool to hang out with.
The bottom line is… make the most of everyday, and start with yourself. I cannot stress enough that I just simply feel better! My family can see the difference and it has inspired my husband to want the same. I have people counting on me to be here and take care of them and I don't want to miss a single day! Since I started exercising, I have had a few blips in the cancer scene. Three surgeries later, I'm good. I am the healthiest I've ever been. And it all started from a required class. A class that changed my life!
Stephen Syarto's story:
I am currently taking Aerobic Conditioning Program and Beginning Weight Training with Jodi Kuyt, Intermediate Yoga Tone and Stretch with Melanie Schiele-Gady, and Circuit Training and Physical Fitness with Lannie Collard. After my second deployment to Iraq as an Infantryman with the Army, I had a yearlong break in service. Due to a serious back injury from an IED I got really out of shape and nothing seemed to be working. Thanks to the Wellness Department I now max my pushups and sit ups and run my 2 mile time at the top Army standard! I set the example for fitness at my unit. In my classes I also learned how to eat healthy, and my energy level has exploded! I teach my four boys how to live healthy, eat healthy, and enjoy life. I'm able to do more with them outdoors, including running and biking. My youngest son has Down Syndrome which means he has low muscle tone. I have learned exercises in yoga that will help him as he gets older to develop a stronger core and normal muscle tone. I thought yoga was going to be easy but it turned out to be harder than any workout I had ever done. Melanie has broadened my fitness horizons, helped me to be more flexible, and decreased my stress level dramatically. Lannie and Jodi have managed to push me to my limits every single class and I could not believe it when they were matching me push up for push up, running me to my breaking point and forcing me to step outside my comfort zone in order to better myself. I absolutely love how great I feel every day after class. My family and friends notice the huge change. I've already lost ten pounds of fat and I feel great. My aerobics class and circuit training class have given me workouts that I bring to my soldiers, and have helped me feel better, sleep better, and be in better shape than my soldiers. The weight training helps me stay strong while my cardio and flexibility keep getting better.
Lena McGruder's story:
I believe it has been an amazing experience taking beginning weight training, WE 141. Since the start of the semester I have lost a total of 8 pounds. The feeling of losing weight has made me feel good about myself physically and mentally. Physically, I am losing fat; mentally I am gaining confidence. Before I started the class…I would always complain about losing weight because I would eat all the time and later I would feel bad about how much I ate. Just having the confidence and believing that I can do it makes want to keep going. I won't stop until I am at least 10 to 15 pounds less but afterwards I am going to continue working out and build more confidence as I go on. Just having that motivation about losing weight and feeling good about myself, shows that I'm developing as a strong person. Hopefully others will be able to experience the same motivation as well by starting to workout.

Property Values in Australian Capitals Fall
House prices in Australia's capital cities dropped by 0.6 per cent in July, according to the latest figures in the RP Data-Rismark Home Value Index.
On an annual basis, a fall of 2.9 per cent was recorded, although in Sydney and Canberra, capital values rose by 0.5 per cent and 1.9 per cent respectively in the 12 months to July 2011.
Rismark's international economist Christopher Joye explained that the next interest rate decision by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) could be crucial for the Australian real estate sector.
If rates do remain on hold, or begin to fall, we would expect to see Australia's housing market find a base and begin to generate capital gains again, he stated.
Mr Joye added that it would be surprising if the RBA had come to the end of its tightening cycle.
A report published by Savills last month named Sydney as one of ten world class cities for residential property investment.
The firm concluded that the Australian location represented the best value among the so-called old world destinations that also includes London, Paris, New York and Tokyo.

Deflection control in composite building by using belt truss and outriggers system
Fawzia, Sabrina & Fatima, Tabassum (2010) Deflection control in composite building by using belt truss and outriggers system. In Ardil, Cemal (Ed.) Proceedings of the 2010 World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology Conference, Singapore.
Published Version
(PDF 553kB)
The design of high-rise building is more often dictated by its serviceability rather than strength. Structural Engineers are always striving to overcome challenges of controlling lateral deflection and storey drifts as well as self weight of structure imposed on foundation. One of the most effective techniques is the use of outrigger and belt truss system in Composite structures that can astutely solve the above two issues in High-rise constructions. This paper investigates deflection control by effective utilisation of belt truss and outrigger system on a 60-storey composite building subjected to wind loads. A three dimensional Finite Element Analysis is performed with one, two and three outrigger levels. The reductions in deflection are 34 percent, 42 percent and 51 percent respectively as compared to a model without any outrigger system. There is an appreciable decline in the storey drifts with the introduction of these stiffer arrangements.

I sit
in an empty parking lot in Dubai
with both hands
on my temples
and think about the girl,
about other people's troubles
and I realise I haven't had a drink.
Then I realise that I can't, It's Dubai
and I start walking,
suddenly I smell a sea.
I stand
next to an empty beach in Dubai.
and the water doesn't roll in waves
It just goes up and down,
pissing me off.
I have reached
an empty residential colony in Dubai.
Not really empty, they're all just asleep
and I think
they must have drank at their homes.
I stand at the center
of an empty crossroads in Dubai
I'm getting tired
and all the cars are doing a hundred and twenty.
I look up
at all the towers
of oil-money Babylon
and i curse them.
Fifty dogs start barking
and somehow I am terrified
so I run.
I find
an empty cab
and beg the driver to take me to some alcohol,
I think I was crying.
He brings me
to a hotel bar
thats open all night.
I sit at the counter
the 'tender is polite and Sri Lankan
a beer costs 50 D
but i still
tip him.

Erythrophobia may seem like a very insignificant fear to deal with. But when it causes a person many instances of embarassment that
and reduces his self-confidence to a level where depression and social isolation sets in, the fear of blushing becomes a real threat
to the person's quality of life.
This app will offer health facts on facial blushing causes and treatment options for curing erythrophobia.
You'll uncover info on blushing surgery, blushing hypnotherapy and other treatment for facial blushing that can help you stop going red in the face.
Extras: Includes a fun puzzle game! Try and piece the picture back together. How fast can YOU finish it?!
We all blush from time to time. There will always be certain situations in our life where we will feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. There is absolutely nothing to be afraid or ashamed about going red in the face when certain situations call for it. It is a very normal reaction to an increased level of stress and anxiety.
However, erythrophobia is out of the ordinary because it is the fear of blushing itself that is what is being dreaded. It occurs without any real reason or in anticipation of going red in the face before the situation even occurs. That may sound very funny to anyone else, but for the victim of the phobia it is a very real fear.
Medically called as 'Idiopathic Craniofacial Erythematic', the fear of blushing is a disorder where there is an abnormal active response of the sympathetic nervous system. In layman terms, it is a condition characterized by too much sweating and reddening of the face even before any embarrassing situation occurs or without any apparent reason at all.
Erythrophobia can be very stressful. It can develop hypersensitive feelings, social anxiety, poor interpersonal relationships, low self confidence and create obstacles in the person's intelligence, emotional, and social state of mind.
Excessive blushing is a simple syndrome like a learning disability or stuttering. Therefore, you can make it go away in time with proper treatment and care.
In this app, you can discover lots of options available to treat excessive facial reddening and sweating. Mental relaxation, scientifically called as 'Psychological Rehearsing,' is the safest treatment for curing this syndrome. There are also techniques of meditation, exercises, hypnosis, even facial creams including GABA which can be applied in order to calm down nerves impulse system and Endoscopic Thoracic Surgery (ETS) which is the only possible treatment for more severe cases.
Whatever treatment you decide is right for you, the important thing to remember is that you can be cured of your phobia of blushing. That said, there is no need to torment yourself with worry and fear.

when i got my p22 the gun was $260 (but several at the latest gun show were going for $330)
the laser sight was $99
and the extra extension on the barrel i don't know about
Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy my first handgun and I really like the look and feel of the P22. A local dealer has one with the 5" barrel and a laser sight mounted on it for $430 new. Is this a reasonable price?
Thanks for the help.
when i got my p22 the gun was $260 (but several at the latest gun show were going for $330)
the laser sight was $99
and the extra extension on the barrel i don't know about
if it is the walther sight that would be an ok deal. if it is a cheapo sight its not a good deal b/c the sight screws can strip out easily b/c they use a cheap metal. also they only cost about $25. p22's are a great pistol though, i've had mine for years and it's a lot of fun. cheap to shoot too!
Pretty sure it's the Walther laser. I figured that's what was pushing the price up. It seems like the price is on par then with other retailers, especially if you facto in shipping and extra harges to have it shipped to a local dealer. I'm not really sure I want the laser though. Anyone have experience with it? Is it worth the extra $$ to go ahead and get it? Sure, they're cool to have, but still that's an extra hundred, or an extra 3000 rounds, give or take.
Lasers are excellent on defensive handguns, if you can get a carry holster to use with it.
On a 22LR, I'd call it more of a novelty. For fast target aquisition, and heads-up shooting, where speed and reasonable accuracy is key, a laser is supurb. Where precision plinking is the name of the game (most 22's), invest in better sights, or optics.
Unless you're gonna do serious target shooting, don't bother paying extra for the 5" barrel. Just get the 3.4" barrel and the weaver rail/Top Point II scope and you'll be set.
I just saw one today with the shorter barrel at a sporting goods store here and the gun itself was $300, or $380 with the Walther laser on the front. It's a cool looking little gun though. Hope that helps!
get the 5" because you can allways but the shorter barrell for $100. you would spend alot more money going the other way.
Why wouldn't you want to use the 5" barrel? If the gun is for plinking, what reason would you not want it? I doubt people are going to want to use it at their ccw, although its better than nothing I suppose.
Why not get the P22 limited edition with comes with both barrels and the compensator barrel weight? I bought tht kit since I wanted both barrels. The LE cost $389 versus paying $313 for the 3.4" only. For $76 you get both barrells and you can decide which one you like better.
I think that is a bit on the high side...I bought my P22 with the 5" barrel for $280 a couple years ago.Shop around ,you'll find a better deal.
offer around $380 and see if they will deal.
My best price was at a gunshow. I paid $ 320 with laser, I did not have the barrel extension though. Everbody wanted $320 around here without the laser. Fun little gun.
I have the 3.5 and my shooting buddy has the 5. Buth of us have the laser. We both shoot both guns identically out to 50'. The longer barrel does not make any difference. The gun looks a little funny with the longer barrel and the laser, it looks cleaner with the laser and the short barrel.
i bought the gun for my ccw and then went back the next day and got the laser and now it wont fit in my holster but i feel obligated to keep the laser on it cause i paid 120 for it (yes it the walther brand) if anybody wants the integrated walther laser i have one for sale for 100 bucks brand new
I have two P22's and I love them! We have been shooting the jacketed federal 550 round box from walmart for about $11.50 a box and have had a few duds.
About the barrell lengths, I don't care for the longer barrell because I practice drawing and point shooting with my P22, it is about the same size as my Kahr CW40 and fits in the same MTAC IWB holster so it gives me good practice with a lot cheaper ammo!
Thanks for all the replies. I still want to get one of these bad boys, but I think I might look around at gun shows since the dealer around here is a bit pricey.

Are Parents Going Too Far?
So...Launa was a little weirded out when her friend told her that she took her 8 year old to get her eyebrows waxed...Launa's friend said...they offered "Children's pricing" so I must not be the only mother who is doing this...
Then in the news today: A mother is accused of bringing her 5 year old to the tanning salon and letting her tan.
Hmmmmm.....think they are starting these girls a little too young!
This is also the link I got the picture from...its a screen shot from news cast.

Now that new editor David Kermode has arrived, Daybreak's old purple logo has been replaced this week by a new orange one, the same colour as, er... GMTV's logo was. GMTV's logo did have a hint of orange to it as well, Monkey will grant you. But with the amount of spray tan that appears on Daybreak guests, that addition will surely only be a matter of time. Monkey memo to ITV: The Daybreak website is still using the old purple logo.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "expect," "believe," "should," "may" and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding the therapeutic potential of NKTR-192 including the potential for NKTR-192 to exhibit reduced abuse potential and side effects typically associated with comparable opioid medicines; our future plan to initiate a Phase 2 study for NKTR-181; and the value and potential of certain other drug candidates in our R&D pipeline. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the potential of our drug candidates, the future of our business, future plans and strategies, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (i) our statements regarding the potential therapeutic potential of NKTR-192 are based on preclinical data only and clinical study results may not confirm one or more of these potential therapeutic benefits; (ii) NKTR-192 is in the first stage of clinical development and could fail at any time due to numerous unpredictable and significant risks related to safety, efficacy and other important findings that can negatively impact drug development; (iii) the FDA and other regulatory agencies could impose significant risk mitigation requirements that hamper market acceptance of NKTR-192, even if approved by one or more government health authorities; (iv) scientific discovery of new medical breakthroughs is an inherently uncertain process and the future success of the application of our technology platform to potential new drug candidates such as NKTR-192, is therefore very uncertain and unpredictable and could unexpectedly fail at any time; (v) patents may not issue from our patent applications for NKTR-192, patents (if issued) may not be enforceable, or additional intellectual property licenses from third parties may be required; and (vi) the outcome of any existing or future intellectual property or other litigation related to Nektar's proprietary drug candidates including without limitation NKTR-192; and (vii) certain other important risks and uncertainties set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2012 which filing can be accessed at www.sec.gov.
