hypothesis of "synergistic modification induced recognition" is then proposed to link histone modification and TRIM24 binding
Report provides evidence for an oncogenic role for TRIM24 as a transcriptional activator and mediator of hormone-refractory prostate cancer cell growth in SPOP (show SPOP ELISA Kits) mutant and castration-resistant prostate cells.
TRIM24 expression is positively correlated with Acetylated H3 lysine 23 levels, and high levels of both TRIM24 and Acetylated H3 lysine 23 predict shorter overall survival of breast cancer patients.
TRIM24 regulate resistance to Gefitinib via Akt (show AKT1 ELISA Kits) pathway in non-small cell lung cancer cells.
TRIM24 is overexpressed in human bladder cancer and facilitates bladder cancer growth and invasion, possibly through NF-kappaB (show NFKB1 ELISA Kits) and AKT (show AKT1 ELISA Kits) signaling pathways.
functions as an oncogene (show RAB1A ELISA Kits) in colorectal carcinogenesis
A role for TRIM24 in breast tumorigenesis through reprogramming of glucose metabolism in human mammary epithelial cells, further supporting TRIM24 as a viable therapeutic target in breast cancer.
our study shows that TRIM24 is overexpressed in human gastric cancer and accelerates cell growth as well as induce chemoresistance
Our results suggest that TRIM24 might serve as a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target for the management of malignant gliomas.
Study shows that TRIM24 is destabilized by ATM (show ATM ELISA Kits)-mediated phosphorylation of TRIM24S768 in response to DNA damage, which disrupts TRIM24-p53 (show TP53 ELISA Kits) interactions and promotes the degradation of TRIM24.
data identify a previously unappreciated Trim24-dependent requirement for IL-1R expression on TH2 cells and an important nonredundant role for T-cell-intrinsic Trim24 in TH2-mediated allergy and antihelminth immunity
Trim24 repressed VL30-class endogenous retroviruses retrotransposons
These results identify Trim24 as a novel negative regulator of the IFN/STAT (show STAT1 ELISA Kits) pathway and suggest that this repression through Rara (show RARA ELISA Kits) inhibition may prevent liver cancer.
Somatic hepatocyte-specific inactivation of TRIM24, TRIM28 (show TRIM28 ELISA Kits), or TRIM33 (show TRIM33 ELISA Kits) all promote hepatocellular carcinoma in a cell-autonomous manner in mice.
TRIM24 regulates AR-mediated transcription in collaboration with TIP60 (show KAT5 ELISA Kits) and BRD7 (show BRD7 ELISA Kits).
TIF1alpha-chromatin association is direct and involves DNA and nucleosome interactions mediated by the bromodomain
These studies indicate that TIF1alpha is a factor that modulates the expression of a set of genes during the first wave of genome activation in the mouse embryo.
The results not only provide genetic evidence that Trim24 and Rara (show RARA ELISA Kits) co-regulate hepatocarcinogenesis in an antagonistic manner but also suggest that aberrant activation of Rara (show RARA ELISA Kits) is deleterious to liver homeostasis.
TIF1alpha-null mutant pathological phenotype supports the hypothesis that aging is promoted by increased activity of the vitamin D signaling pathway
The protein encoded by this gene mediates transcriptional control by interaction with the activation function 2 (AF2) region of several nuclear receptors, including the estrogen, retinoic acid, and vitamin D3 receptors. The protein localizes to nuclear bodies and is thought to associate with chromatin and heterochromatin-associated factors. The protein is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains - a RING, a B-box type 1 and a B-box type 2 - and a coiled-coil region. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

When we first found out about LG's 'Nano' TV series at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show way back in January 2011, there was no doubt in our mind about its main attraction: direct LED lighting.
This system involves illuminating LCD TV screens with clusters of LED lights positioned directly behind the screen rather than the more common approach of using LEDs ranged around the edges of the screen. Add to this configuration as the 55LW980T does local dimming, where the clusters of LEDs can have their luminance levels individually controlled, and experience has shown that you've got a potential recipe for serious picture quality success.
The fact that the Nano TVs delivered its direct LED tech in a body as slim if not slimmer than most edge LED TVs was just the icing on the cake.
It's one fine-looking TV
So intrigued were we by the idea of an ultra slim direct LED TV, in fact, that the Nano sets' 3D capabilities rather passed us by. Especially when we learned that the Nano sets were going to have tried and tested active 3D technology rather than the controversial new LG passive 3D system employed on all of LG's other LCD TVs.
As the year progressed, though, and LG's attempts to position passive 3D as the superior 3D option became almost scarily aggressive, the decision to use active 3D on the Nano sets started to look increasingly awkward, potentially undermining the brand's entire 3D marketing thrust. So it was no great shock when LG ultimately decided to shift to passive 3D for the Nano sets.
And when we found out, we couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed, feeling that the decision could have robbed us of what had the potential to be one of the most all-round desirable TVs of this generation.
Here's the thing, though: We were wrong. For LG's decision to make the 55in 55LW980T a passive 3D TV has turned out to be a masterstroke. Far from exposing passive 3D's potential weaknesses as feared, applying it to such a high quality core TV as the 55LW980T has actually underlined passive 3D's strengths.
We'll get into detail on why this is so later. But for now it's high time we hit our usual review stride. Starting with the fact that the 55in 55LW980T Nano set is one darned attractive TV. From its single-layer fascia to its trim bezel and slim rear, it oozes high-end class and build quality.
It has all the connections that matter too, including four v1.4 HDMIs, two USBs, plus built-in Wi-Fi. The USBs can be used to record from the built-in Freeview HD tuner or for playing back a pretty expansive suite of photo, video and music multimedia file formats.
The Wi-Fi (or a LAN) adds file-streaming from DLNA PCs to the TV's capabilities, as well as access to LG's increasingly admirable Smart TV service. We did a recent update of the content now carried by LG's online TV platform in our review of the LG 50PZ950, so we won't go into the same level of detail again here. Suffice it to say that as well as a startling number of relatively basic information and gaming 'apps', there's now a considerable amount of our preferred video streaming content, including the BBC iPlayer, the AceTrax movie rental/purchase site, and Blinkbox.
The 55LW980T also reminded us of just how well designed and attractive LG's Smart TV menus are. And it was a massive relief to find that although its online services are a bit sluggish, the 55LW980T suffered from far fewer crashes and dysfunctional online services than we experienced with the 50PZ950T.
So which would you go for. The Panasonic GT30 (50 inch), the Samsung D6530 (55 inch) or this? Assuming money was not an issue.
At the price this LG sells for, the fair comparison would be the 55 inch Samsung D8000 and Panasonic VT30.
@Chris: don't expect this model to stay at the RRP for long. I got last year's 47LE8900 for £1K when the RRP was £2K. Wait a little bit and you'll probably see some cracking bargains on this model too, making it very competitive. For what it's worth, the 47LE8900, also with local dimming, is spectacular.
I would definitely go with LG 55LW980T. I read another review on this model before and it said this model is the first THX certified passive 3D TV that also has local dimming light under the panel. In addition, its design got much nicer and add lot more apps in their dash board. They still include the wii-like remote controller too. I haven't seen the picture quality yet, but I bet it would look stunning. I liked LG's lower models which were lw5600 and 6500 and thought the picture quality on them were superb also. Now since it is higher model that even has a local dimming light and THX certified, I cannot doubt about its picture quality.
I recently compared this LG with the Panasonic TH-P65VT30, and ended up getting the Panasonic.
When viewed side by side I noticed a reduction in the clarity of the 3D image on the LG. I thought it strange as the screen is smaller and put it down to the banding that I saw when standing up close.
I then learned that the 3D is 720p on the LG, while the Panasonic is 1080p, and (I guess) I saw this, when comparing.
I got the Panasonic as an upgrade from a Pioneer PDP-504 and I wanted the option of 1080 in both 2D and 3D (and also went for the more obvious size increase).
Re active/passive glasses. Of all the pros and cons between the formats, flicker in day light could well be the most obvious difference.
We are moving into summer here so for now it is 3D movies at night only. I do not want to live in a cave all Weekend.
All the shops I went to had no windows, Ahh well you live and learn.
I recently purchased an LG47LW980T after weeks of reading review/compare sites and am very pleased with its performance. The picture on this TV is breathtaking in HD and blu ray with some of the most vivid colours I have ever seen on a TV. 3D is great and very bright due to the full baclit led screen although the resolution is not quiet full HD it is still very good with a good sense of depth and certainly more comfortable than active 3d with no flicker or crosstalk. Also this TV although coming out last year has a MCI of 1000mhz which is the same as some of the latest 2012 models out now. The only problem I did have when first setting up was with motion juder, but this was cured by turning trumotion setting off completely. I would Highly recommend this TV to anyone, and here is the setting that I find best worked for me. Energy saving off, Backlight 70, Contrast 80, Brightness 50, Sharpness 70, Colour 68, tint&Colour temp zero, True motion off.

by Colateral Soundtrack
released on 12/03/2011, this EP was a collaborative release between HI54LOFI RECORDS and Colateral Soundtrack
Available through: Bandcamp
Collage is a headphone treat. It is a blend of all things Mexico —old and new— and it has been living on my headphones ever since Edgar sent me an early copy of it. And I swear, as soon as I started listening to it, the cold, painful grip of winter started to loosen. There has been almost a 20 degree shift in the right direction and I can't help but think it has something to do with Buen Dia being stuck on repeat as I mamba around town, dodging puddles of melted snow.
Here's Edgar's thoughts on it:
This album is available for 'whatever price you like'. You really shouldn't be without it, it just isn't fair on your ears.
What Others Are Saying:
I Guess I'm Floating: "I urge you to listen to the whole EP on headphone for the full visceral experience"
Head Underwater: "It's an album made of various sounds ranging from some of the best latin drums I've heard to classic sound bites"
No Modest Bear: "The album should be experienced in its entirety (with headphones on)."
Relentless Noisemaker: "I can't get over how good this is."
Weekly Tape Deck: "The music is loungy and vegetative, almost comes off with a Baroque vibe like a Latin American 'Keep Shelly In Athens'"
Listen Before You Buy: "A perfectly named collection of old Mexican snippets fused with those modern Mexican sounds and beats."

Claudio Reyna scored both goals in Rangers' 2-0 win against Livingston in Scottish League action while John O'Brien tallied a pivotal goal for Ajax in its 4-1 win against Willem II in the Dutch Honor Division. Kasey Keller, Joe-Max Moore and Gregg Berhalter, meanwhile, remain on the sidelines in England. Scotland Claudio Reyna, Rangers (PL) Started (69 min.) vs. Livingston (2-0). Reyna scored both goals for Rangers, which pulled within seven points of Celtic at the top of the standings.
In the 23rd minute, Claudio Cannigia cut a ball back into the penalty area for
the trailing Reyna who "provided a measured finish which gave the home side's new goalkeeper, Nick Culkin, no chance of making a save," according to a game report from ESPN's Soccernet.
scoring, Reyna lifted his jersey to reveal a T-shirt with the initials "FDNY," to honor New York's Fire Department and all those affected by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"It was the third
game I have worn this T-shirt so I was under some pressure to score," he explained. "I am just glad I managed it this time. I grew up within 20 miles of New York, as did my wife, and this was just
something I wanted to do.
"I could have picked out any one of the organizations and brave people who have been involved in trying to get everything back together. I have not been back to New York
yet, since it happened, but I keep in contact and know what's going on."
Reyna added another goal in the 59th minute by converting a rebound of Shota Arveladze's shot. England Jovan
Kirovski, Crystal Palace (D1) Started (90 min.) vs. Norwich City (3-2). Gregg Berhalter, Crystal Palace (D1) DNP vs. Norwich City (3-2). Ian Feuer, Derby County (PL - on loan from Wimbledon)
DNP vs. Chelsea (1-1). Brad Friedel, Blackburn (PL) vs. Leicester City, Monday. Kasey Keller, Tottenham (PL) DNP vs. Middlesbrough (2-1). Joe-Max Moore, Everton (PL) DNP vs. Newcastle (1-3).
Moore was not an active reserve for the game. France David Regis, Metz (D1) DNP vs. Lille (0-2). Germany Steve Cherundolo, Hannover (D2) vs. SVW Mannheim, Monday. Conor
Casey, Hannover (D2 - on loan from Borussia Dortmund) vs. SVW Mannheim, Monday. Cory Gibbs, St. Pauli (D1) Started (90 min.) vs. Stuttgart. Frankie Hejduk, Bayer Leverkusen (D1) DNP -
injured vs. 1860 Munich (4-1). Tony Sanneh, Nuremberg (D1) DNP - injured vs. Hertha Berlin (1-3). A hamstring strain suffered last week caused Sanneh to miss this match against his former club.
Netherlands John O'Brien, Ajax (HD) Started (90 min.) vs. Willem II (4-1). O'Brien broke a 1-1 deadlock with a 72nd-minute goal and his teammates added tallies in the 80th minute and
88th minute as insurance. Earnie Stewart, NAC (HD) no game scheduled. Chile Jonny Walker, Universidad Catolica (D1) Started (90 min.) vs. San Felipe (1-0). The U.S. keeper's
team remains in third place, three points behind leader Santiago Wanderers.

here's what i'm looking to do:
Timing belt (prefer OEM)
Water pump (prefer OEM) + gasket
Thermostat (opinions?) + gasket
External AT filter
I've been quoted about 200$ for the labor to do this all if i bring in the the parts (from the only mechanic i trust in my city). So i need to get the ball rolling on ordering the parts. Anyone have any good sites to buy from?
I've done some searching and found a sitehttp://sd.autohausaz.com that has a lot of the parts i need.
Where do you guys buy your stuff?

Letters to the Editor, February 26, 2013
Containers are not suitable living spaces
I do not agree that one way to help young people who are desperately hunting for affordable housing is to accommodate them in shipping containers stacked beneath flyovers.
First, living in such a location could create health problems because of the proximity to exhaust emissions from the vehicles using the flyovers.
They could develop respiratory problems.
Although accommodating young people in shipping containers stacked beneath flyovers is a way to provide affordable housing for them temporarily, the negative side effects could be permanent.
The location is also unsuitable because the volume of traffic using these flyovers will produce serious noise pollution problems for the people living in the containers.
The flyovers are in constant use and so people would have problems trying to sleep, and they would be tired during the day, which would affect their performance at work.
Also, during their days off a shipping container is hardly the best environment for someone to relax and wind down.
This raises quality of life issues.
Using these containers stacked beneath flyovers might appear to offer a short-term solution to the problem of young people finding an affordable place to live, but it would not be a long-term option.
Cherry Yau Wing-yan, Sha Tin
Another form of substandard housing
I do not agree with the pressure group that suggests helping young people by accommodating them in shipping containers stacked beneath flyovers.
It cannot be denied that the housing problem in Hong Kong has become severe and it seems impossible for young people to live in an apartment, given high prices and rents.
Nonetheless, living in shipping containers beneath flyovers would be a humiliating experience and would cause health problems. Such a proposal should not be encouraged.
Many people in Hong Kong already have to endure terrible conditions in cage homes and subdivided units.
In these containers, people will have to put up with fumes from vehicles and the noise of them travelling overhead on the flyover.
Also, the residents will have to use portable toilets and this is not hygienic.
I agree that the government must do something to help young people or we will see more people having no choice but to rent substandard accommodation such as cage homes and containers.
Lau On-yin, Lai Chi Kok
Flawed tax system helps rich citizens
Bernard Lee makes some very valid points in his letter ("Higher property taxes a way to redistribute wealth in the city", February 25).
One way to cool off Hong Kong's property market and make the tax regime more palatable is by levying higher property taxes and a capital gains tax.
Instead, Hong Kong's tax system does the complete opposite. While property owners with a mortgage get a handsome tax rebate, renters get zilch. Other examples of regressive taxation are the local sin taxes.
While duties for tobacco products are horrendous, affecting mostly low-income people, wine (Henry Tang Ying-yen's favourite tipple) sales are duty free.
Granted tobacco can be harmful for one's health, but drunken drivers can kill themselves and other people.
Given that Hong Kong's government is basically governance by the rich for the rich, a regressive taxation system should not be surprising.
Kristiaan Helsen, Sai Kung
Not right way to deal with noise problem
It was horrible to read Greg Knowler's letter ("No sympathy for noisy dogs in village", February 19).
Surely no decent human being could condone dousing a dog in inflammable liquid and burning him alive.
There are avenues to pursue noise pollution like incessantly barking dogs - police can be brought in, and neighbours can jointly deal with the offending owner. Don't make a dog the scapegoat for an irresponsible owner.
It would be the same as condoning throwing a muzzle on a baby crying non-stop on a plane or in a theatre.
Your correspondent's state of mind is the same as people who despise dogs because their lazy owners don't clean up after them.
Bernard Lo, Mid-Levels
Offer more help to middle class citizens
I find Phillip Yeung's article ("John Tsang mustn't kill the middle class dream of upward social mobility", February 20) insightful and truthful.
Being born in Hong Kong in the late 1940s, I, like many of my peers, was justly rewarded for honest hard work.
Hong Kong was a place where many young people, including many from grass-roots backgrounds like myself, had their childhood dream of "a better life" fulfilled. But this is not the case anymore.
Our two sons, who had perfectly good degrees from top Australian universities, had to rely on their parents for a down payment, in order to get a foothold on the property ladder four years ago.
At today's prices, they would have no hope of buying even a studio flat in the private sector market anywhere in Hong Kong.
I would assert that the root of Hong Kong's housing problem is due in no small part to seeing property ownership as a path to riches.
This, encouraged by Hong Kong government policies, has enticed Hong Kong citizens to try to own a property (or three) "at all costs".
Renting an accommodation has never been seen as a long- term option, unless we have major shifts in housing policies where renting (even in the private sector) is encouraged as a viable alternative (as in Germany).
I sincerely hope that our financial secretary would read Philip Yeung's article and seriously consider the three proposed measures of helping middle class families (raising the middle class income tax threshold; an accommodation subsidy and an education subsidy).
This would help revive the middle class dream of upward social mobility.
After all, the middle class is the backbone for stability and prosperity in any society.
Tse Pak-kin, Tai Kok Tsui
Punish people who pollute water supplies
I refer to the report ("China's water still unfit to drink after multibillion-yuan clean-up", February 21).
China aims to spend US$850 billion to improve the quality of mainland water supplies over the next decade. Supplies are overused and polluted.
China, as a rising nation, is planning to spend this enormous amount of money to repair the damage created during its economic development.
I can understand the reasoning behind this plan. It does face serious pollution problems, which adversely affects its environment and therefore the health of many of its citizens. Over decades, water supplies have been polluted by chemicals and untreated sewage.
Take, for example, the country's counterfeit designer handbags which are globally famous. They often look very much like the real thing with a good quality of craftsmanship. But dyes are used in the production process and simply poured into rivers and the sea.
There appears to be no effective legislation on the mainland which can deal with these polluters. Nearby villages are affected, because their supplies are polluted and villagers become sick.
China has been called the world's factory, given its output and cheap labour. Factory managers will do whatever it takes to minimise production costs and maximise profits.
A clean and safe water supply is crucial to sustaining life. Without that, people fall sick and this must affect the nation economically.
It is important for Beijing to ensure that factory managers and owners are made to abide by environmentally friendly regulations and that polluters who do not are punished accordingly. The government must safeguard future generations.
Charmaine Li Wing-huen, Tsing Yi
Solve dispute through peaceful talks
I refer to the report ("Abe fails to win Obama's backing", February 24).
I do not think the US should intervene in the controversial dispute over the Diaoyus Islands between Japan and China.
It is said that the outcome of the talks between Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and US President Barack Obama did not result in any concrete promises from Washington. I welcome this news since promises from the US would have escalated the dispute.
The disagreement has already cooled relations between Beijing and Tokyo, which has been financially damaging. There has even been talk of a possible open conflict.
Violence never solves problems. This dispute must be resolved through peaceful negotiations.
Kathy Sze Mei-yi, Tsuen Wan

The Blabes
The Blabes
Imaginative brief:
Create the beginning of a short story for a fictional mythical character or characters that you have invented.
Think about where they live, how they live, what they do, are they on earth? Do they interact with humans?
You can (optional) have the fictional character not as the main part of your story but you must make the characters presence known through out the story. How you choose to go about this is up to you.
DON'T just have a picture of the creature; the picture should include a sense of where they live and what they do.
Any medium or style is acceptable.
1-5 images, however many you feel would clearly begin to illustrate the story and communicate to the audience about your creature. This is after all, just the beginning of your story; you may choose to carry it on after the 1-5 images.
Character I've created: The Blabes who live in a magical forest and no one (even the little boy Robbie) is quite sure whether they're real or imaginary. They have disproportionately large heads to their body, alien/human hybrid facial features, are excellent at climbing tree's and have black arms and legs but when they have given birth the black fades and returns back to normal after their child is no longer breast feeding. How they reproduce is unknown but people say they are impregnated by the power of the trees in the forest.
The Story: The Blabes are discovered by a young boy called Robbie who then becomes obsessed with the creatures through out his life.
The pictures shown are firstly of the creatures in their habitat, then I have accompanied them with when Robbie discovers the Blabes, the beginning of his obsession.

AFM monitors migrants' boat - some 200 on board
Updated - Friday morning
The Armed Forces of Malta are monitoring a boat believed to be carrying between 150 and 200 African migrants which issued an SOS call in the Maltese search and rescue area early yesterday.
Informed sources said that the boat had been located but did not appear in distress and was continuing to head North.
The migrants raised the alarm in a call through a satellite phone to a priest in Italy who informed the Italian coast guard. Sources told timesofmalta.com that some distress calls were also made to Africans residing in Malta. The migrants are mostly Eritrean.
The AFM deployed a maritime search aircraft and patrol boat P-61.
Meanwhile another boat carrying 81 migrants arrived in Lampedusa this morning, the second such arrival in as many days. An AFM aircraft coordinated the first rescue of migrants by the Italian coast guard.
Another boat carrying 77 migrants arrived in Malta on Sunday.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
No. When a burner is turned on the clicking is rapid paced then reverts back to a tick every 3-5 seconds even while a burner is lit.
I ordered and installed the part you identified as the problem. Sadly, The igniters are still sparking about every 5 seconds. The only way I can stop it is by disconnecting power. Any further suggestions of what to do next?
I will check your suggestions when I get home this PM. Can I return the part I ordered?
If you purchased it from the link I sent you than you can. Otherwise you'd need to contact the dealer to see if they accept returns.
Thanks, I did purchase from your link.
Sorry for delay responding. Internet been out all day. Checked everything you advised with no solution. Am returning igniter module and would like a refund of your fee since nothing worked.

Comprehensive Self-Assessment Services
The NBME offers three web-based self-assessments to medical students and graduates evaluating their readiness to take USMLE:
- Comprehensive Basic Science Self-Assessment (CBSSA)
The CBSSA uses multiple-choice items based on information typically covered during basic science medical education courses. The content of the CBSSA items resembles the content of those in Step 1 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE®).
- Comprehensive Clinical Science Self-Assessment (CCSSA)
The CCSSA uses multiple-choice items based on information typically covered during the core clinical clerkships. The content of the CCSSA items resembles the content of those in Step 2 CK of the USMLE.
- Comprehensive Clinical Medicine Self-Assessment (CCMSA)
The CCMSA uses information typically covered in clinical encounters. The content of the CCMSA items resembles the content of those in the multiple-choice component of Step 3 of the USMLE.
NBME research demonstrates that under certain circumstances there is a moderate relationship between performance on the CBSSA and CCSSA and subsequent Step 1 or Step 2 CK. US and International medical students and graduates may find these self-assessments to be valuable tools as they prepare for USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK.
Participants will receive a performance profile and a score interpretation guide immediately after completing a self-assessment. The performance profile provides an assessment score and graphically displays relative strengths and weaknesses in general topic areas. These profiles are similar to those that candidates receive for Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 3. The score interpretation guide allows participants to "translate" an assessment score to an approximate corresponding Step 1 or Step 2 CK total score. The NBME does not warrant that any individual performance on these self-assessments will predict performance on Steps 1 or 2 CK and cautions participants against making any predictive inferences.
Participants have the option to receive expanded feedback in addition to a performance profile. When participants acquire a self-assessment with expanded feedback, they receive a report which includes the number of items answered incorrectly by content category and the ability to review the text of incorrectly answered items. Correct answers are not provided as a part of the review.
When participants take multiple self-assessments, they receive longitudinal feedback which allows them to track their performance progress across all content areas. Longitudinal performance profiles are included for the six most recently completed exams.
Please see the table below for essential information about these self-assessments. Additional details are provided in the NBME Self-Assessment Services Information Guide.
|Six forms: 200 multiple-choice items each. Six forms have an expanded feedback option.
|Four forms: 184 multiple-choice items each. Two forms have an expanded feedback option.
|One form: 180 multiple-choice items. Item formats are similar to those used in Step 3. All forms have an expanded feedback option.
|Four sections, 50 items each. Up to 1 hour, 15 minutes to complete each section.
|Four sections, 46 items each. Up to 1 hour, 9 minutes to complete each section.
|Five sections; 36 items each. Up to 45 minutes to complete each section.
|Four sections; 50 items each. Up to 5 hours to complete each section.
|Four sections, 46 items each. Up to 4 hours, 36 minutes to complete each section.
|Five sections; 36 items each. Up to 3 hours to complete each section.
|Access & Assessment
|Self-Assessments are delivered over the Web. You must log on to access a self-assessment and start it within 30 days (access period). Once the self-assessment is started, you must complete it within 20 days. You may sign off and resume/continue the self-assessment at any time during this 20-day administration period.
|These self-assessments are available for a fee of $50.00 in US currency ($60.00 for the expanded feedback option). Payment is non-refundable.

Yamaguchi Completes FSU's Comeback Versus Virginia Tech 2-1
Related Links
Oct. 1, 2006
Tallahassee, FL - For just the second time this season the Seminoles played at home on a Sunday. Both games were played during the day, both saw record-setting attendances and in both FSU was trailing at halftime, but just like they did versus Portland the third-ranked Seminoles fought back form a 1-0 halftime deficit to win 2-1. Florida State (8-1-1, 2-1-1) needed a Mami Yamaguchi goal in the 86th minute to finally put away Virginia Tech (5-5-1, 1-3-0) as the Seminoles recorded their 24th all-time come-from-behind victory.
The Seminoles dominated the possession and statistics. FSU out shot Virginia Tech 21-3 and put nine shots on frame to just two for the Hokies. Florida State created numerous chances throughout the game but once again struggled to finish off their opportunities until late in the match.
"I thought we started out pretty good," said FSU Head Coach Mark Krikorian. "We are still not good enough in the final third. I will tell you I thought this is the best soccer we have played. We were able to get a hold of the ball, create a lot of dangerous chances but the final pass still isn't good enough. The goal we created to win the game came off the movement that you needed and a good individual effort by India (Trotter). Of course, Mami is a clutch player."
Florida State fell behind 1-0 in a first half that saw Virginia Tech take just two shots compared to FSU's 11 of which seven were on goal. Mauri Liberati converted an errant clearance in the 37th minute to stake the Hokies to a 1-0 lead. The Seminoles created nearly 10 dangerous chances in the first 45:00 but couldn't find the key to end a scoreless streak that had reached 197:11 when the team went into the locker room down 1-0 at half.
"The first half we played the best soccer of the season and it was so much fun," said Yamaguchi. "There were a lot of great combinations we just needed to finish. We had the confidence even though we were losing 1-0. In the second half we knew we just needed to play the same soccer. We just needed to finish the goal."
"I thought in the first half we played with great composure," said Krikorian. "I thought the whole half was good outside of their goal, which was significant. The second half we started out a little flat. I am not sure why that is. Then we regained our composure and started to play again. Once we spread them out, I thought it was pretty good."
Florida State finally did get on the board and even the game but the goal came on a Selin Kuralay penalty kick not from the run of play. The goal was created by Katrin Schmidt's dangerous run into the box. Kuralay nailed the PK for her sixth goal of the year ending the Seminole goal drought at 210:47 seconds.
"I just passed it by the defender, she kicked it a little bit and I knew I could get in more," said Schmidt of the play. "She fouled me and I went down. I didn't know if they would call the PK. I didn't even know if I was inside or outside the box. I didn't know where I was exactly."
"They congested the game, especially when they were ahead 1-0 they compacted the game, which they should do," said Krikorian. "We said before the game that we knew we would be successful if we had Becky Edwards and Katrin Schmidt in the attack a lot and they were in the attack a lot, particularly Katrin. She drew the penalty on the first goal. She is a heck of an attacking weapon. It is a luxury for us to have her and Becky in the backline knowing when they get forward they will be dangerous."
The penalty kick sparked the record daytime crowd of 1,895, which was the third-largest crowd in school history. It also seemed to spark FSU, which put continual pressure on the Virginia Tech defense for the next 30 minutes.
"After Sel's goal I thought we can win, we will win," said Yamaguchi. "I was so sure."
It looked as is FSU had won in the 84th minute. Edwards played a ball to Trotter at the top of the 18. The senior All-American touched the ball around the defender and ran onto the pass. The senior was all alone with Tech keeper Mallory Soldner on the right side. Trotter went backpost but missed by two yards wide of the frame.
"Oh gosh," said Trotter of the missed opportunity. "It kind of hit off my shin guard. I didn't place it as accurately as I wanted to."
The missed chance seemed to spark Trotter who aggressively started the play that would secure the win for FSU. Trotter used her speed and strength to get around the corner on the right side. She sent a square ball along the top of the 18 where Holly Peltzer was waiting. The junior just got a piece of the pass and redirected it backwards to Yamaguchi. The sophomore struck the pass first time driving the ball low and inside the post.
"None of us really wanted to play for 20 more minutes after going to OT Thursday versus Virginia," said Trotter. "We wanted to end the game. I made a play on the outside and saw Holly. I pulled back and tried to play her. She found Mami and Mami did nothing but finish it beautifully."
"That was a fantastic finish," said Krikorian. "I think Holly got a piece of it. The ball came across and was played off Holly. Give Mami credit for finishing it."
Florida State returns to action on the road next week. The Seminoles will travel to Maryland Thursday and Boston College Sunday. It will be the team's first-ever trip to Chestnut Hill. MA. Game Tracker will both be available for both games. For information on Game Tracker log on to the official website for Seminole athletics at Seminoles.com.

Infrastructures, open access and CSaP
The week started with the latest meeting of the e-infrastructure leadership Council, co-chaired by Minister of Universities and Science David Willetts, where the main items centred around developing the details of our strategies for e-science. A second and very interesting meeting on infrastructures, organised by the Foundation for Science and Technology, was addressed by Sir John Armitt, Professor Brian Collins, and Tim Yeo MP, each giving some very insightful perspectives on UK large infrastructure needs, how they might better be joined up, and how we need to increase their recognition as a public good that transcends typical parliamentary timescales, and needs a clearer recognition of the extent to which the private sector can provide that.
I appeared with others before the Business, Innovation and Skills Commons Select Committee to discuss Open Access (and note the new RCUK guidelines, also as pdf). These meetings are streamed live, and then made available via the internet; our session starts at about 10-49 into the video that may be viewed here.
I was also able to attend much of the annual meeting of the Cambridge Centre for Science and Policy, where (for these sessions) the focus was on inculcating academic thinking and scientific rigour into policymaking, an analysis of systems approaches to ageing, and a Panel discussion of the evidence and policy, with the first keynote being given by Sir Mark Walport setting out some of this thoughts on the next 5 years as Government Chief Scientific Adviser, and the final one by Sir Bob Kerslake – Head of the Home Civil Service – rehearsing the main elements of where science policy should contribute to Civil Service Reform (and vice versa). It was notable in one session on the systems approach to ageing populations that the rather advanced and integrated software strategies of the systems biology community, including the use of standardised XML-based data models (such as those encoded in SBML), and those incorporating the relevant ontologies, have not yet been adopted by systems modellers in the social sciences.
Among papers I noted this week, was one on the use of analytical metabolomics to determine food intake in an unbiased manner (relative to the claims typically made by subjects in the previous 'gold standard' known as Food Frequency Questionnaires), a fascinating piece on electroceuticals, a couple of rightly scary pieces by Duncan Clark in the Guardian and in Science on climate change, and the sequencing of the (African) coelacanth and zebrafish genomes (the latter showing that 70% of human 'disease genes' have a human counterpart, useful for phenotypic screening).
With Google's earlier announcement that its digital feed reader would not be supported after July 1st, my attention was drawn to Feedly, which seems to have all of the functionality I require and thus will now adopt. I also noted a useful PLoS collection of Open Access papers on Text Mining (an area in which a new paper has just been accepted).

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Miami track and field program had another strong showing at Penn Relays.
One day after opening up competition with Lea Johnson's Top-3 finish in women's hammer, Miami had another thrower finish atop the podium in his event.
Isaiah Simmons win the college division championship in the men's discus with a mark of 175' 8". The redshirt freshman also competed in the men's shot put, finishing sixth with a throw of 60' 3".
Amber Monroe also had a good day throwing for the Hurricane women. The sophomore placed sixth in the women's discus with a throw of 158' 9". Monroe finished ahead of three other competitors from the ACC.
"Isaiah, Lea and Amber are becoming more consistent as the season progress," Miami director of track & field and cross country Amy Deem said. "I am pleased with how they look as we prepare for NCAAs."
Miami's throwers were just two of several Canes to have impressive performances Friday.
The Hurricane women placed third in the sprint medley championship. Redshirt freshman Kelsey Balkwill, sophomore Jokira Jiles, sophomore Taneisha Cordell and junior Alaine Tate combined to run the medley in 3:50.72.
Three jumpers placed in the Top-10 of the men's long jump. Sophomore Innocent Jacob led the trio, placing third with a mark of 23' 5.25". Freshman John-Patrick Friday was sixth with a personal-best mark of 22' 9.25", while sophomore Timothy Richardson placed 10th with a mark of 22' 8".
Senior Samantha Williams also cracked the Top-10 in the women's triple jump. The All-American finished 10th, clearing 38' 4".

CBI sources said Maran was questioned earlier this month, the first time after the agency had registered a regular case against him
The apex court issued notice to union government on a PIL challenging Finance Minister's power to nominate two members in the search and selection board for appointment of SEBI chairman and full time members
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice to the Centre on a public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the Finance Minister's power to nominate two members in the search and selection board for appointment of Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) chairman and full time members.
A bench headed by Justice SS Nijjar, however, refused to stay Rule 3 (5)(e) of SEBI (Terms and Conditions of Service of Chairman and Members) Rules, 1992, which empower the Finance Minister to nominate two members.
The court passed the order on a petition filed by former IPS officer Julio Ribeiro and other members of civil society alleging that the rules framed by the government were contrary to the SEBI Act.
Ribeiro had earlier also approached the apex court challenging appointment of UK Sinha as SEBI chairman on the same ground, but the court had refused to entertain his plea on the ground that the allegations levelled in the petition were of personal nature.
The petitioner later filed a fresh PIL dropping all those allegations and challenging only the rules framed by the government.
The apex court on 21st November declined to entertain a plea questioning the appointment of Sinha as SEBI Chairman, saying it is aimed against an individual under the garb of raising legal and constitutional issues.
Ribeiro, in his earlier petition, had submitted that the new procedure, stipulating a five-member panel for selection of the SEBI chief in place of the existing three members, was wrong and there was an ulterior motive behind it.
The petition had alleged that rules were changed for appointment of the SEBI chairman and members under corporate pressure.
The government had refuted the allegations and had submitted an affidavit, which had said Sinha was the unanimous choice of the search and selection panel and no undue favour was shown to him by his appointment at the post.
EAS Sarma, former secretary of the GoI, alleged that SEZs in general have not come out gloriously in terms of what was expected and most of them have become real estate ventures linked to money-laundering

Others have tested Google's opinion on various subjects and come up with incredibly interesting and insighful results. So Hyperallergic decided to see what the world's most popular search-engine's thoughts are when it comes to well-known artists.
Last week, I was playing around on my gadgets and inadvertently discovered that Google has an opinion on art. So I decided to ask the all knowing algorithm about some art figures to see Mountain View's perspective on artists.
– Hyperallergic
The results were painfully typical in some cases and typically unexpected in other cases. For example:
Check out the rest here on Hyperallergic, including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Frida Khalo, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol, Joseph Beuys, Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman, Banksy, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Marina Abramovic, Shepard Fairey, and Ai Weiwei.
Who would you look up? What does Google say about them? Let me know in the comments below!

This dog collar utilizes a quick clasp closure, also called a side release clasp. Sizing is given as a range of neck lengths. Measure your dogs neck size or its current collar length (not including buckles) to obtain correct sizing.

Sturdy collar and cute as well. The only reason I didn't give this collar 5 stars is because the black clip to hold the collar together (where the collar snaps together) slides around. But, it wouldn't stop me from purchasing again.

This collar looks awesome on my dog. What a fun pattern. Collar is much nicer than pictured.

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Boards (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/)
- - Evo or alternatives (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/40596-evo-alternatives.html)
Evo or alternatives
I'm considering a 2012 Evo 154. 'on paper' it seems like a good choice for me, good quality, covers the mountain but shouldn't be too stiff or challaging to ride. I've spent many hours researching. And I know that's a poor substitue strapping myself to it.
I'm a beginner. Can link turns, do the same switch, basic flatland tricks.
Feet size 8
Wight: 168lb
Riding type: Groomers, want to progress in the park.
Riding location: mostly europe
bindings: considering 390 boss, raiden phantom or burton malavita.
boards ridden so far: Option Franchise 153, Option Mirror 153
I'm aware that this is an expensive board and also that I should probably look to rent a while to try lots of boards. Partly I'm impatient but partly I don't want my own setup for consistency and willing to take an educated risk.
Also happy to get a cheaper board if that's the best option for me. Really I don't mind if I waste some money, it's my time I don't want to waste.
So my question has two parts:
1) would the evo be a great/disasterous choice
2) what other boards should I consider? The Arbor westmark/blacklist are also on my radar along with a couple others.
Thanks if you can help.
A soft reverse camber board is a great choice for a beginner. They're very forgiving.
The Evo is a good first choice if you have loot and want a board that will grow with you.
I got my girl an Infinity for her first stick. Would've liked to have gotten something even softer though
Of those 3 bindings: the 390s will be the softest, the Phantoms mid, and the Malavitas the stiffest. (all are good bindings)
The Evo seems like a good choice though. It's actually a board I will consider getting in the future.
For me it was down to the westmark and Evo. Pick one. Both are great.
The westmark is a full reverse camber though, so do you ride a lot of sketchy ice? You'll just need to keep it on edge so I've read.
I'd say ride some crappy boards so that you will appreciate the awesomeness that is the Evo (funnest board Ive ridden) but really you might as well just get one. There's no way on God's green earth you'll be disappointed. It won't be a board for hard carving or bombing (it will cope but not excel) but for all round freestyle it will help you improve loads and you will have so much fun riding it.
Probably buying a Westmark in the next few days. I'd probably recommend this more as a first board as it is a bit stiffer and will be better all mountain but if park is your preference anyway you would love the Evo.
I bet the blacklist would be fun too mind!!
Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. I think I'm just going to pick up the Evo :)
That's exactly what I did. Now I just need, you know, snow.

Numerous articles have been written about HTML 5 over the last year, so I won't spend a ton of time delving into the gritty details. If a client is asking, or thinking about suggesting this technology, these 8 things might play a vital role in the conversation. Simply put, here are some of the big things you need to know about HTML5 as it stands today.
1. Won't break your old site
That is to say – your old code is going to work! Need to use a div, p, span tag…they work.
2. More Semantic
The new semantic elements aid in the consistency for page layout. Think of it as a better way to outline a page.
3. Canvas
Basically, a drawing surface allowing for movable shapes and graphics through scripting.
4. Mobile Now
Mobile devices offer something the PC doesn't – a controlled environment, that means modern browsers, and that means browsers that can read HTML5. With iOS and Android – you can pretty much hone in there and do a really nice job at utilizing many features of HTML5. More importantly, the numbers for these devices are growing.
5. Power to the browser, not the plugin
Doing things the web way make your pages feel like the web, work like the web, be like the web. If we're comparing HTML5 to say Flash to handle moving graphics through canvas, those named items can be searchable, and better yet, because HTML5 is being developed as an open standard – no vendor lock in.
6. IE Still Rules the Roost
You've got to know your limitations when working w ith new technology, and for all the good, here's some bad. IE6, IE7, and IE8 do not support HTML5. As of today, that's about 50% of the audience. There is a glimmer of hope however, scripts like modernizr are helping, allowing IE5+ to utilize the new elements, but not the new functionality. (like canvas, video etc.)
7. Codecs Matter
It's probably the biggest battle for HTML5 to fight –codec support. Here's the quick rundown of where they are today (we'll limit this to the Big 4 IE, FF, Safari and Chome, and the 2 major phone OS's):
- IE6-8: None
- IE9: h.264
- Firefox 3.5: Ogg Theora
- Firefox 4.0 beta: Ogg Theora, VP8
- Chrome5:Ogg Theora, H.264
- Chrome6:Ogg Theora, H.264, VP8
- Safari 5: H.264
source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_video
Different codecs for different browsers and operating systems. This doesn't mean you can serve them all, it just means you'll have to do quite a bit more encoding with maybe a little help.
8. HTML5 Can Be Used Today
It's true. Technically.
Really...it's true.
By simply adding <!DOCTYPE html> as the doctype, all the big browsers will render in standards mode. Since all your old code will work, you're technically using HTML5.
If you want to use the new stuff, then it gets more slippery. You "could" use input type="search" - one of the new form attributes in HTML5, and browsers that don't support that input type, will default to type="text", which is what we would have used anyway. Lastly, if you're not interested in using the modernizr script for the new semantic tag usage, developers can use classes like class="footer", getting developers to think like the native semantic elements of HTML5.

Honestly it's people like this that gives the rest of us latinos such a bad rep. Instead of trying to get themselves outta the slums they brainwashed to think they gotta be hard gangstas. It's not like it difficult, shit I grew up in Holyoke, MA. I remember gun shots being part of the daily grind. People like this are an embarrasment to the Puerto Rican people. All this of Amor de Rey or Amor de Familia are bullshit, really wanna love your familia? Do them a favor and try to be a good example to your people. Lo mejor que puede hacer es salir del ghetto, really there's nothing there but death and depression. Idk I may be rambling but although I think there's got to be a better future for our people.

The tax problem has nothing to do with immigration. God I can't stand ignorant republicans. Take your tea outside and realize that racism and prejudice are no longer acceptable in a free society. The true effect on the economy are the top 1% who pay less taxes then middle class and lower class. Significantly lower. Why don't you do your homework. You might need maid someday and I'm sure to save a buck you wouldn't even care of they were immigrants or not. These are people too. I really hope your great grand parents who likely emigrated here long ago aren't looking down with you in disdain. If you were around then you'd stick them in a dog cage like animals young and small. It is so sad how ignorant people are and how unaccountable they are for the state of the economy right now. I hope you sleep well tonight thinking of the immigrants we send back to die in their native countries. I say if it ever came down to having to leave America because of idiot republicans refusing to save the economy they destroyed that you and all those racist and elitist can be the first to go to the cartels in Mexico. GOOD LUCK

Hanging On
It's been a little quiet here at Shrink Rap this week, in between the earthquake and the upcoming hurricane. Please bear with us. If we have power this weekend (and if Dinah has her network back up) we may try our first-ever videoconference podcast.
In the meantime, best wishes to all our readers and listeners in the path of the storm. Please heed precautions and take care of yourselves!
See you on the other side.
In the meantime, you might be interested in reading a followup comment on my Clinical Psychiatry News post about the psychological autopsy done on the alleged anthrax mailer, Dr. Bruce Ivins. Not surprisingly, the expert behavioral analysis panel (EBAP) disagrees with me. They feel they did the right thing by publishing and selling his medical data. Read the EBAP response.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I tried to make a payment and was told that I couldnt because I was in active forclosure. I have not recieved a letter yet. No one will call me back from the loan cousoling dept. Or from their lawyer. I can pay the full amount in 3 weeks. Do I have options?
Yes. You should be able to catch it up and get out of foreclosure. The problem may be that they could add foreclosure attorney fees to the balance due, which may be a good bit more than you currently owe. Set aside the payments that they won't take now, so that you can use them to catch up the account as soon as you are able to do so. You should also request a reinstatement figure from them, so that you have in writing how much it will take to catch it up.Ask a similar question
Send a written request for the full amount due by a date certain. Send that request to as many addresses and/or people as you can find. Explain that you will have the funds by a certain date. Follow through on any promises that you make.
My best to you.

Costume Information
|Ah, i just can't say no to a dark haired guy with glasses and a labcoat.
This will be my first cosplay wearing glasses, it doesn't help that I don't think I suit them, but we shall see.
Also, might even be able to use my uni labcoat for it, hopefully it doesn't still smell like grass from the unfortunate chlorophyll incident <_<
Lab Coat (Posted 5th March 2011)
after much deliberation about whether to alter my uni lancoat or buy a new one I decided to get a new one, it's a large so I imagine I'll have to alter it anyway... why do i make all this extra work for myself?

max answered on 4/26/12. Helpful? / 0
A good way is to leave a door open just enough so the cat (on one side ) can interact with the puppies but they can't go through the door
As they get more familiar with each other you can open the door so either the cat or the puppies can only get through so they can run away when they want
My female Russian blue is very calm with any new person or animal that comes through the house.
Good luck!

Geneva fair showcases all the inventions you need, and more
By Jonathan Fowler, AFP Friday, April 4, 2014, 12:10 am TWN
GENEVA--His eyes hidden by sunglasses, the soft-spoken African gestured at the model camel on his table, its hump hidden by a mysterious contraption topped with a windmill.
"I'm the only Chadian with five patented inventions to his name," Oumar Ayoumbaye said proudly, before pitching his low-tech, camel-borne air conditioning unit which he says could revolutionize desert life.
"It's an extra flat aircon unit that's energy independent. It's destined for nomads or tourists who travel by camel, or even by elephant," Ayoumbaye told AFP.
"On top of that, it helps go easy on the water, because it keeps the camel's hump cool. And when a camel has a cool hump, it can go for 17 days without a drink."
Tucked in amongst corporate and university research staff at the International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva, lone players like Ayoumbaye are what gives the annual show its feel.
"I would say that the best inventions are those created by people who in fact are active in another field. They bring a fresh, new, original approach," said Jean-Luc Vincent, the fair's founder.
Billed as the biggest showcase of its kind worldwide, the event's 42nd edition kicked off Wednesday and ends Sunday.
It has drawn a record 790 exhibitors from 45 countries.
The inventions, all of which must be patented to go on show, range from the never-knew-you-needed-it to ultra-practical, and span the spectrum from low-tech to super sophisticated.
For those in the innovation business, Geneva is a potential goldmine.
Breakout successes from past editions include above-stage displays to translate operas, mobile scanners for shipping containers and inflatable neck pillows for travelers.
Exhibitors pay an event fee of up to 1,200 Swiss francs (980 euros, US$1,360).
That can be a good investment if the fair helps them make the leap to market by sealing a licensing contract — industrialists and distributors feature heavily among the 60,000 visitors.
Nearly half of inventions on show at previous editions have found a licensee, and the total value of licenses negotiated last year topped 55 million Swiss francs, organizers said.
According to Vincent, the fast pace of innovation now incites companies to buy inventions rather than develop them in-house as they hunt for the next big thing.
And globalization means companies interested in an idea may no longer be on an inventor's doorstop, but in fact on the other side of the planet.
With innovation a weathervane of the shifting center of the global economy, over half of Geneva's exhibitors now hail from Asia and the Middle East.

Best Of :: People & Places
The Asian palm civet is to beverages as sturgeon is to victuals. The fish produces one of the world's most expensive foods, caviar. The civet produces the planet's priciest coffee, Kopi Luwak. And when we say costly, we mean up to $600 per pound (or around $40 a shot). The stuff is so ¨ber-glamorous that members of the fabulous set sign waiting lists to get their manicured mitts on some. Though Miami establishments like Barton G, 1427 West Ave., Miami Beach (305-672-8881), carry the coffee, it seems like complete crap to the unrefined masses, really. It's farmed from shit. See, the catlike civet (really more like a type of weasel) eats only ripe coffee cherries in the Indonesian jungle, which it then only partially digests. Meaning it poops whole beans that some poor schmuck forages. Sure they clean it up a bit, but that shit-stained bean is the prize. Mmmm, good to the last dropping.
Ever sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic, laying on the horn because the ding-dong in front is not moving, and you're in a hurry because you're late for work, and you still have to drop off the kids and get to the bank to deposit some money so your checks don't bounce, but you're almost out of gas and you're not sure if you're going to make it, but if you stop then you'll be even later, and if you're late again you'll get fired, and then you won't have money for anything, so should you chance it and risk getting stuck and getting fired because you don't show up at all, or stop and risk getting fired because you're lateç Dude, if this even remotely resembles your brain, you seriously need to take a break before it melts. And the best spot for escaping from the daily grind without spending a small fortune (provided you have a rich friend who owns a boat, that is) is right here in our back yard: Elliott Key. Located about nine miles from Homestead in the aquamarine waters of Biscayne National Park, this is the largest of three keys in the park's 172,000 acres, and is only accessible by water. Once harboring a thriving community of pioneers, today this idyllic island offers camping complete with barbecue grills picnicking, swimming, wildlife watching, and a hiking trail, along with showers, toilets, and even fresh drinking water. The coastline is predominantly rocky, but the clear waters make it ideal for snorkeling. And there are some small areas of sand if you feel the urge to bronze. What's more the place is large enough to never get overcrowded, yet small enough to feel like your own private paradise (especially if you head there on a weekday). Best of all, it's free. So grab some grub, anchor offshore (low tide is less than three feet high), and chill. Sleep under the stars and bathe in crystal clear ocean waters ... you deserve it. It sure beats waking up to reality.
Last year's summertime calendar brought us 6/6/6, the apocalyptic number of the beast. Some predicted the Antichrist would appear on that hot as hell June afternoon, but it didn't happen.This summer will bring 7/7/7, which is sacred and mystical, according to various traditions. On that day Miami will host the Sacred Sevens Selebration. (In case you haven't checked, July 7, 9007, will fall on a Saturday; of course, the town will be either underwater or nuked by then.) It's all organized by the people at MysticalFlorida.com, who put on the Tropical Fairy Festival at Coral Castle every October. "This festival will raise positive energies and provide an outlet for people to experiment with their spirituality," says Atina Komar, the festival's organizer, "and honestly, days that don't appear very often give us an excuse to throw a party."The festivities will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church in South Miami. There will be drum circles, live bands, magicians, spiritual workshops on well-being and self-healing, as well as performances by jugglers, dancers, and singers. There will also be games and a costume contest for children.
Want the moon to yourselfç Haul your bike out to Shark Valley after sunset and have at it. There's nowhere better to check out that massive cheese wheel in the sky than the River of Grass. Cruise around the fifteen-mile paved loop with wind in your hair, bird songs in your ear, and mysterious water splashes every few feet, as the glowing disk makes its way across the evening sky. It's beautiful especially the view from the observation tower halfway into the ride and it's free after 5:15 p.m (the gate closes at 6:00).
You make the 45-minute trek to work every day. And every day at least two jerks cut you off or give you the finger. At work your micromanaging boss breathes down your neck because he's a sadistic maniac. The kids fight, your visiting in-laws are annoying, and you're behind on your bills again. Does the Mobius bandlike cycle of stress ever endç Sure you can plop yourself down on the couch and wish your life was copacetic as Shaq's, but that's a poor excuse for relaxation. What you need is mental and spiritual rejuvenation, both of which can be found at the Wat Buddharangsi, a Thai Buddhist temple in Homestead. Wat's Eastern-influenced architecture is striking; ascending steeples are adorned with red tile and gold decoration. The same color scheme can be found inside, with a large Buddha as an inspiring centerpiece. An aura of serenity permeates the inside of the temple as bright sun rays fill the quiet, open spaces. Patrons are encouraged to forget material possessions and control their lives during the temple's many ceremonies and prayers. Some rules for visitors: dress conservatively, remove shoes upon entering, and avoid making loud noises. The temple is open to the public every day from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and hosts special events at least once a month.
It's not that the sand is whiter or the sea greener. Nor do those few feet of ocean boast more waves or fewer pesky sea critters. It's just that Third Street not Second Street, not Fourth Street, but either side of the lifeguard stand on Third is where the cool kids hang. Week in, week out. It's where the hot Brazilians can be spotted in their pseudo-Speedo trunks, flexing taut muscles as they battle through endless games of foot-volleyball. It's where the Latinas and the Euros throw caution to the wind and discard bikini tops without so much as a flinch. Coolers stacked full of beach essentials (i.e. beer), lithe bodies, and paddleball games abound. In all its skin-baring, sweaty glory, Third Street beach epitomizes this city we call home.

Competition Law & Patent Assertion Entities: What Antitrust Enforcers Can Do
Hosted By CCIA & AAI
Thursday, June 20, 2013 from 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM (EDT)
Event Details
Competition Law & Patent Assertion Entities: What Antitrust Enforcers Can Do
with special keynote address by FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez
Thursday, June 20, 2013
The National Press Club
12:00pm to 2:30pm
Patent assertion entities, commonly referred to as patent trolls, have received a lot of attention recently. In the last five years, lawsuits by patent assertion entities have increased more than 250% and now account for more than 60% of all patent litigation.
The White House just issued a series of executive orders and proposals in an effort to curb the growing troll problem and protect competition and innovation. Congress is also considering legislation to provide additional relief. The powers of our nation's antitrust regulators, however, are often overlooked.
The Computer & Communications Industry Association and The American Antitrust Institute invite you to a panel discussion to examine the unique role these competition watchdogs can play in combating the growing problems in our patent system.
Registration will open at 12:00pm and the program will begin promptly at 12:30pm. Complimentary lunch will be served.
