Research Interests
We are interested in cellular and molecular mechanisms that shape the embryo. During gastrulation, there are several different types of cells, all moving to different directions but in a highly co-ordinated manner. For example, prechordal plate progenitors migrate as a coherent sheet of cells to their destination, whereas notochord progenitors intercalate between one another to elongation the tissue along the forming body axis. These orchestrated movements transform ball-like embryos to fry with head-to-tail structures. Also, there are similarities in collective cell behaviours between gastrulating cells and metastasizing cancer cells. How do cells know where to go? How do cells communicate within the same group or between different groups? To tackle these questions, we use the zebrafish as a fantastic model system for in vivo cell biology based on time-lapse imaging analyses based on genetic approaches. The primary interests are; i) how cells keep themselves from behaving randomly; ii) what mediates the mode of migration of prechordal progenitors, collectively or individually and iii) how normal cells detect transformed cells in a simple epithelium and eliminate them from the epithelium at initiation of carcinogenesis.
The current topics
i) Planar cell polarity and cell adhesion
One genetic pathway that co-ordinates cell movements is planar cell polarity (PCP). This pathway has been originally discovered in simple epithelia in Drosophila but also been shown to be required for convergent extension movement of notochord progenitors in vertebrates. In other words, the PCP pathway plays a pivotal role in suppressing 'random' behaviour within the same cell population regardless of different contexts. The core PCP protein Flamingo, an atypical cadherin with a seven-pass-transmembrane domain, regulates convergent extension and cell adhesion by PCP-dependent and -independent mechanisms (Carreira-Barbosa et al., 2009). We are investigating how Flamingo/Celsr regulates planar cell polarity and cell adhesion separately.
ii) Collective migration of prechordal plate progenitors
Prechordal plate progenitors undergo collective migration as a cohesive sheet of mesenchymal cells, and the cells located at the leading edge produce different types of protrusions, lamellipodia and blebs. We found that prechordal plate progenitors can change the mode of their collective migration into individual migration when PCP and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) signals are both compromised (Kai et al., 2008). We try to understand the mechanism underlying this transition. Moreover, we are investigating the mechanism underlying ethanol-induced alterations in collective migration of prechordal plate progenitors as they are more sensitive to ethanol treatment than notochord progenitors. Understanding the molecular mechanisms for the effects of ethanol on collective migration of prechordal plate progenitors helps us prevent foetal alcohol syndromes, potentially leading to cyclopia.
iii) Cancer cell extrusion from simple epithelia
At early stages of cancer initiation, normal cells detect cancer cells in the epithelium and try to eliminate them from the epithelium or vice versa. We found that Src-transformed cells are apically extruded when surrounded by normal cells in the enveloping layer of the zebrafish embryo (Kajita et al., 2010). We are investigating how normal cells detect transformed cells and what are the signals that are emitted by transformed cells towards neighbouring normal cells. Better understanding of the detection and exclusion mechanisms in vivo will provide us with a clue to cancer therapies as one can prevent cancer cells from spreading over the body through basal invasion. This project is in collaboration with Yasu Fujita (Hokkaido Univ, Japan).

Well, since htdig uses Berkeley DB files and not GDBM files you could
just change the tie call to DB_File. I'm not sure if the internal structure
of the data stored in the file is still compatible, though :-}

Fight Obesity with Healthy Snacks
Kids and snacks go together like chips and dip. However, too much snacking on "treats" can lead to problems -- including unhealthy weight gain and obesity. Since children aren't able to meet their daily Food Group goals with meals alone, snacks are a must!
Ensure your child's snacks are nutritious foods versus indulgent treats not intended for daily consumption. A recent study has shown kids who nosh on healthy snacks (think cut-up veggies and milk instead of chips and soda) took in 72% fewer calories while snacking -- and were fuller and more satisfied with far less food! The key is to focus on well-balanced, nutritious choices that will provide a mix of fiber, protein and carbohydrates. The ultimate end result is that even though they take in fewer calories, they get far more nutritional and health benefits. It's a win-win for everyone.
Looking for healthy snack ideas? Stick with options that have minimal ingredients and offer greatest nutrient punch bite-per-bite. For example, although cheese may be slightly higher in calories and fat, it's also packed with protein and calcium. Here are a few other snack ideas:
- Veggie sticks (cut up celery, carrots, peppers, etc.) and hummus
- Fruit and cheese cut into cubes
- Yogurt mixed with fruit or granola
- Cheese slices and whole-grain crackers
- Whole-grain bread or tortillas spread with peanut, sunflower or almond butter and 100% fruit jam
Plum Organics® makes healthy snacks for kids of all ages! They make it easy for parents to know they are providing delicious, nutritious snacks without the guesswork. Click here to check out all their snack-time offerings.

TNA Knockout Mickie James has been added to the Alumni section of WWE.com.
Along with that, numerous videos were uploaded to the WWE Youtube page today, featuring Mickie James matches.
wwe just love to add tna people to their Alumni section
WWE just loves to adds TNA People? WWE adds FORMER WWE EMPLOYEES/DIVAS/SUPERSTARS to there Alumni section who had accomplishment in the WWE. She was a Women's Champion who admired Trish Stratus and was use in the main storyline. It's like saying "Oh why is TNA GM Hulk Hogan in the WWE Hall of Fame section". This is what happens when you only watch TNA wrestling. Get your wrestling facts straight stupid. Here's another early fact for you ONLY TNA FANS Chavo Guerrero was in the WWE too don't be suprise if he gets added to the Alumni section.
WWE should get off TNA's nuts.
really mickie was in wwe so shes on the alumni page not like tna didnt try the same shit with cm punk they had him all over the tna website when he was dropping pipe bombs in the wwe so just no your role and shut your mouth
WWE is the copy cat of professional wrestling.
"no your role"
Goodbye credibility.
Yes, TNA advertised CM Punk when he was actually getting attention in WWE. They wouldn't have had a reason to otherwise. ROH does it with most former talents, are you bitching on their sites?
OK I am a real wrestling fan so not only do I watch the WWE but I also watch TNA unlike the rest of you damn slap-nuts. nothing will ever change in wrestling anymore. everything that could have been done has been done . what I am saying is both company's r just recycling old stores that have been done before. If you are truly a wrestling fan you will stop all this baby bullshit about how wwe ruined wrestling and tna sucks or wwe sucks it's just stupid
I could not agree with you anymore.
TNA marks : Gosh WWE should get off TNA's nuts, always putting TNA stars even tho they were In WWE first in their alumni list. If I recall correctly, didn't TNA come out with a bunch of CM Punk videos when Punk became WWE champion?
The smaller company hanging on the coat tail of the bigger company, is suspected.
The bigger company hanging on the coat tail of the smaller company, is pathetic.
Indeed they are on TNA's nuts because they know deep down despite the numbers that TNA is the netter company. I thought they were ashamed of Micky James because of her weight and her past which was in porn? Hypocrites.
She's never done porn
Trust me she was
Yeah she has….
This is the first I've ever heard of it…
No she has not done porn. She has posed nude for magazines but has never done a porn video. And no the two are not the same. But she is very hot without her clothes on especially with those dark lips.
She never did porn you dumb ass and if you think TNA is even on the WWE radar then your a foolish TNA mark
dam shes good looking
She's definitely a better wrestler than any of the WWEs divas heck even Tessmocker has gotten better in the ring. TNA KOs or a thousand times better than the WWEs Divias Period!
congrats Mickie James
First of she deserved to be up their because she won not just the women's championship but also that bs title they have now so she deserved to be on in dude she did had a sex tap Google it

+1 to your original idea contempo
I think all files are considered equal by first time buyers anyway. If I were browsing through files and came across a few that had updates, there would be no reason for me to believe that those files were better or worse because they have been updated.
I think the whole point of this thread, as I said earlier, was to point out to people who have already purchased the file, that it has been updated. Rather than hoping, someday, they come back to check the item's description. Providing an icon or something similar, next to the item, in the downloads page would be a transparent way to display this to buyers. And in doing so, would not change the external views to potential buyers.
In the past, many people including myself, suggested that the system auto-email previous buyers to notify them that the file was updated. Buyers of the file would be able to opt-in, or opt-out of this auto email. BUT this system can get a bit spammy and annoying if the author has a lot of updates.
This new icon based notification, could avoid all of these pitfalls, while still providing people who have purchased the file, with update information, in a non-intrusive manner.
+1 to this idea, combined with email notifications about updates.
Why not encourage your buyers to follow you on Twitter.
This way whenever you have updated a file you Tweet about it and everyone get's notified.
Sure, people who have not bought that particular file will also see the update but hey, it just may propt them to go ahead and purchase it
Why not encourage your buyers to follow you on Twitter.
This way whenever you have updated a file you Tweet about it and everyone get's notified.Sure, people who have not bought that particular file will also see the update but hey, it just may propt them to go ahead and purchase it
I'm also doing this, but not everyone uses Twitter. I like Mark's idea of adding an icon on the downloads page. Maybe even going one furthur and adding an "Updates" tab to their Account Page with a small number as to how many files have been updated similar to the way the App Store on the iPhone works.
The idea is good. Though personally I think there are more efficient ways, such as putting the notification on the buyer's downloads page
I think the red label comprimise isn't that good – as updating your file is an easy way for a seller to make their item have a big red shiny banner next to it, and therefore get more attention.
All items should have a hidden version number, and when people have purchased it, they can go to their account page and see a list of products they've bought that have been updated since. They can then dismiss these or download them.
email notification with opt out seems like a good plan. Personally, I have so many things to keep up with on-line, that I always welcome a 'push-service'. You just sign up and then forget about it.
It is potentially a bit spammy, but compared to the amount of unwanted junk mail that lands in the average inbox of a day, I don't think it would be so much of a worry… especially if it's an opt-in at the time of buying. It could even be done on a per file basis.
This wouldn't be such a bad idea if it were implemented onto the download page for files.

NSF, NIH Award Ecology of Infectious Disease Grants
Scientists to study links between environmental changes, spread of infectious diseases
Unprecedented changes in biodiversity have coincided with the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases around the world.
To address this problem, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have announced $16 million in funding for eight projects under the Ecology of Infectious Diseases (EID) program, a multi-year, joint-agency effort now in its ninth year of funding.
"In a time of rapid global change, the one certainty is that emerging infectious diseases will be more common," said James Collins, NSF assistant director for biological sciences. "These new EID research awards will support the basic studies needed to predict the timing and severity of the emergence and spread of these diseases."
Interdisciplinary projects funded through the EID program will study how large-scale environmental events--such as climate change, habitat destruction, biological invasions, pollution and a variety of interventions--alter the risks of viral, parasitic and bacterial diseases in humans and animals.
"Ecological studies of infectious diseases are beginning to move from basic science to translational research," said Joshua Rosenthal, EID program director at NIH's Fogarty International Center. "The results will help us to better manage these diseases."
The studies will contribute knowledge and analytical tools that will help public-health officials, wildlife managers, farmers and others to control the spread of diseases among humans, domestic and wild animals, and crops, say EID scientists.
This year's awards support research on:
The coincidence of broad-scale environmental changes and the emergence of infectious diseases points to underlying and predictable ecological relationships, said Rosenthal.
"The EID program links these components to produce a comprehensive understanding of disease transmission," he said.
Potential benefits of the EID program include development of more advanced disease transmission theory; improved understanding of unintended health effects of development projects; increased capacity to forecast outbreaks; and better comprehension of how diseases emerge and re-emerge.

We are deeply grateful to the approximately 40 individuals who have run the marathon on our team since 2002 to raise money for the foundation. Being a charity runner in the marathon is a huge undertaking. Not only do the runners have to train throughout the long cold and often dark New England winters but they also have to raise a significant amount of sponsorship donations and then finally run all 26.6 miles to the finish. Our runners give us an enormous gift of their time, effort and love. We are deeply grateful to them all.
The work of the Ace Bailey Children's Foundation focuses on the well-being of hospitalized children through the building and renovation of hospital environments that improve the family-centered and softer side of hospital care. We strive to reduce the stress of pediatric hospitalization by creating environments that are less clinical in appearance and more comforting and soothing for children and their families. The Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center in Boston is the recipient of our funding.
The Ace Bailey Children's Foundation is a
501-C-3 non-profit charity.
We are currently decorating the main entrance and plaza level of the Floating Hospital for Children with the adventures of the Toughlings. The entrance and hallways of the Floating are pretty bland and, well, not particularly welcoming to kids. They're mostly whitish walls with a few boats and fish floating around to go with the Floating motif. The hospital very much wants to fix that and that's what this project is all about. It's about welcoming kids into spaces that are designed just for them — to connect with them, to delight them and put them at ease. It reminds them that,
You don't have to be big to be strong.

The traffic may roar outside, but serenity reigns within this popular and well-established little Sinhalese restaurant. Tranquillity is fostered as much by the kindly service (which can be slow) as by the dark-red and white colour scheme, and oil paintings of Sri Lankan people and landscapes. The menu has been streamlined and most common-or-garden curry-house dishes removed. This leaves a selection of Sri Lankan set meals (kothu roti stir-fries, string hopper assemblies, birianis and lamprais) plus 'devilled' dishes, vegetables, and sambol relishes. Starters are a routine choice of rissoles and patties that seem little better than pre-packaged varieties. Better head straight for main courses. Our chicken lamprais consisted of a mound of rice served on a banana leaf and accompanied by on-the-bone chicken curry (creamy with coconut milk, mildly spiced with own-made curry powder), and side dishes of aubergine curry (lovely sweet-sour and caramelised flavours) and chilli-hot seeni (onion) sambol. Less pleasing were devilled prawns that had little spicing (more resembling a sizzling stir-fry of onions, peppers and tomatoes) and a bony little portion of seer fish curry. Traditional wattalapam is among the desserts.

Playing an eccentric team-building coach, Van Damme causes some awkward moments during a 'wilderness seminar' in the jungle with Adam Brody.
Jean-Claude Van Damme acts like a primitive man in the clips for his new adventure comedy film "Welcome to the Jungle (2013)". Playing an eccentric team-building coach, Van Damme is seen getting shirtless a la tribal chief and talking crazy during a bonfire session with his team in one clip. In another, he is seen having an awkward bickering with Adam Brody soon after they first step their feet in the wilderness.
"Welcome to the Jungles" centers on Brody's Chris, a workplace weakling who doesn't have the balls to stand up to the slick office bully Phil (Rob Huebel). Phil steals all the ideas from Chris, who also doesn't have the guts to muster the courage to ask out cute HR manager Lisa (Megan Boone). Even Chris' only friend, Jared, a sarcastic slacker IT guy who secretly monitors everyone's porn intake, slams him for being a pussy.
However, when a team-building "wilderness seminar" goes horribly wrong, and unhinged ex-marine team-building coach Storm Rothchild (Van Damme) gets mauled by a cougar - Chris and his co-workers find themselves stranded on a deserted tropical island with no rescue in sight. In the jungle, someone's going to have to step up and take charge.
Phil quickly proclaims himself "God" of the island - but Chris has Boy Scout skills and would be far better suited to lead the group if he could overcome his fear of everything. Chris is challenged to finally man-up to Phil, release his inner-beast, get the group rescued and win the girl of his dreams.
The comedy movie is directed by Rob Meltzer with Jeff Kauffman penning the script. It still hasn't got a U.S. release date, but it expected to open sometime in 2013.

Ted Simons: Tonight's focus on Arizona technology and innovation looks at a unique work space for creative minds called Gangplank, designed to be a place where a variety of start-ups can collaborate on a variety of things. Jade Meskill: is here to tell us more. Thank you so much for joining us.
Jade Meskill:Thanks for having me.
Ted Simons: Trying to wrap my head around this thing. Now, what exactly is Gangplank?
Jade Meskill:Gangplank is a community of collaborative work spaces where we're trying to attract really a cross-section of creators. We get a lot of people who are in high-tech because it naturally fits with them. Also musicians, artists, photographers, just a whole cross-section of people doing creative and interesting things but also want to give back to their community.
Ted Simons: Doing creative and interesting things together, on your own? Are there individual spaces? Is everyone riding skateboards around one big room like in Silicon Valley?
Jade Meskill:We have had that happen. People riding skateboards around. It's up to the people participating to figure out how to work together, what they want to create. Our idea is that most creative solutions and ideas happen at the edges. With people who maybe aren't experts in their field but are in another field but are experts in their field colliding with somebody who knows something totally different. They can come up with really exciting brand new fresh ideas by using their expertise in a place they are very unfamiliar with.
Ted Simons: So are specific issues addressed at specific times or do you just show up and -- what?
Jade Meskill: There's no structure to how people have to participate in Gangplank. It's free for people to participate. But the idea is that you're giving back to the community in some way. Some way that you feel good about that you might have a strength in. So say I'm really great at web design. Maybe I'll offer some classes to people in the community for free to come in and learn more about web design. Maybe I might give back to some other nonprofit organization in the area that could benefit from that expertise.
Ted Simons: But at Gangplank there really are no seminars or meetings or classes, or are there?
Jade Meskill: There are. We have a thing called Gangplank Academy where we'll offer structured classes for people who want to come in. Tonight there's a photography class that has been going on for quite a few weeks now where there's an instructor teaching people the benefits of digital photography and how to use it, how to take low-light photographs, things like that. It's a structured environment. But he took the initiative to create that class on his own. Gangplank is providing the framework, the building, the things that he needs to successfully pull off that class.
Ted Simons: The idea would be if I were starting a small business in some tech firm and I thought I may need to use digital photography, I go to his class, I learn, I benefit.
Jade Meskill: Sure.
Ted Simons: That kind of collaboration.
Jade Meskill: I might meet other people who could help me with that business.
Ted Simons: I read you're trading in what you call social capital.
Jade Meskill: Yes.
Ted Simons: Explain.
Jade Meskill: So the idea behind social capital is that it works like regular capital in that you can have a net positive or be in debt. So if I do something that benefits the Gangplank community, I have earned some social capital. Now there may be a time in my business or in my personal life where I might need to spend some of that social capital. That gives me influence within the community. So it's not a thing where we're keeping track of it in a bank account. It's much more free-flowing than that, but if I'm doing things that benefit people I'm gaining in social capital.
Ted Simons: Let's get back to the bank account. Cost is free. You have different locations. Obviously there's bricks and mortar involved. How was this stuff paid for?
Jade Meskill: People like to ask that question. For the first few years we bootstrapped. I run a consulting company. We thought it was a really crazy idea and wanted to try it out so we paid for it ourselves. We had some extra space in our building and we invited some other companies to work with us. Nowadays we partner with local municipalities and work with them on a services basis to provide them some economic development services. So they are benefiting from Gangplank's involvement in their city and we use that money to pay for the bricks and mortar side of things.
Ted Simons: If I do start my small company that benefited from taking that digital photography class I will base it in Chandler or in the valley somewhere and thus the city benefits from their donation or their cooperation with Gangplank.
Jade Meskill: Correct. We want to build really great local businesses that will stick around and continue to invest locally.
Ted Simons: Was this modeled after any other group or organization?
Jade Meskill: Not necessarily. There's an idea of co-working where you may come and you don't want to sign a lease for a desk or office you could purchase it on a per day or per month basis as a subscription. We were aware of that model. We wanted to do something very different because when we talked about social capital, real capital has a way of messing that up. Once we start talking about real dollars and cents, it becomes a landlord-tenant relationship and that's not what we wanted. We wanted to free people up to be able to do whatever it was that they thought to give back.
Ted Simons: What if by freeing people up someone designs the next great mouse trap. Are there intellectual property concerns? I say, wait a minute, I was part of that thing there your now initial public offerings of how much per share. Intellectual property: How is that mixed in here?
Jade Meskill: So it's not a direct -- we don't have any sort of agreements with anybody that we own any of their intellectual property or anything like that. We have a saying around Gangplank: stop worrying about people stealing your ideas. They are busy building better ones.
Ted Simons: But are people taking to that particular slogan? When people get success, altruism can sometimes take a hike.
Jade Meskill: That's true. We encourage people if you're entering into a business arrangement, make it a business arrangement. Gangplank is not going to protect you from those intellectual property issues you may have.
Ted Simons: And there have been business arrangements?
Jade Meskill: Sure, we've had lots of successful partnerships formed, people create new products together. A lot of really great stuff has happened.
Ted Simons: How many locations for Gangplank now in Arizona?
Jade Meskill: There's three in Arizona. Chandler is where we originally started, Avondale and Tucson.
Ted Simons: Any chances of growing here, any plans for growing or is it just play it as it lays?
Jade Meskill: We're open to new locations. What we look for is a city who is looking to try something different, who knows they need to do something different in the economic development world. We're looking for those great partners. We don't go out and plant locations. We work with people to help them grow new locations where they are at.
Ted Simons: Building relationships and not transactions. Sounds fascinating. Good luck to you.
Jade Meskill: Thank you.

"I have frequent seizures and can't drive a car, so I hitchhike to surf Maverick's." —Andy Lillestol
By Lewis Samuels
In 1979, doctors told Andy Lillestol he'd never surf again. He had his first grand mal seizure that winter at 26, and woke up in the hospital 10 days later. Surfing meant everything to Andy. Raised in Northern California, he'd lived on Maui, Kauai, and Oahu, developing a taste for big waves. One winter, he'd surfed eight hours a day for 28 days straight, without sunscreen. Surfing wasn't something he envisioned giving up. But with major seizures occurring every three days, Andy could no longer drive a car, let alone surf.
"It was like having a bad acid trip every few days," Lillestol remembers. "You fall down in the gutter, you're not even capable of taking care of yourself. I didn't remember what year it was, who my father was…Your neurons are misfiring—there's an electrical storm in your brain. Doctors told me to get used to the fact that I wasn't going to be a surfer anymore."
"Were they concerned about you having a seizure in the water and drowning?" I ask Lillestol.
"Oh yeah. I did have one in the water…and I drowned."
"You drowned?"
"Yeah. I drowned. My lungs filled with water, my friend pulled me off the bottom, they resuscitated me, and flew me out in a helicopter." Obviously, Lillestol had ignored doctors' orders, disillusioned with a treatment plan that at times seemed worse than the disease. Throughout the '80s, Andy was taking 12 pills a day and still seizing. "Massive amounts of barbiturates, basically. I got strung out on those things, I hated them," Andy remembers. "They have an appalling effect on your intellect as well as your emotional well-being." Andy prescribed surfing to himself, regardless of the risk. "The doctors tagged me as some hopeless case, a masochist bent on destroying himself," he remembers.
Throughout the last two decades, some local surfers have thought of Andy in similar terms. Despite his medical condition, despite admittedly not being a particularly talented surfer, Andy became obsessed with Maverick's, and has been a regular there since 1994. Throughout the '90s, without a driver's license, Andy could frequently be found standing on the side of Highway 1, 10-foot Brewer in hand, thumb out, hitch-hiking to Maverick's. If that doesn't sound gnarly enough, Lillestol exclusively surfs Mav's switchfoot, like fellow goofy Jeff Clark. "I've had some horrific wipeouts at Maverick's," Andy admits. "I've broken five boards, had two-wave hold-downs, gone over the falls backwards…But I've gotten some fantastic waves and that keeps drawing me back."
Almost 60, Andy wonders how much longer he'll surf Mav's. His epilepsy is now under control thanks to better medication. But his flexibility isn't what it once was, and Lillestol finds it ever more difficult to compete with the growing crowds. "My daughter wants me to surf big waves until I'm 70, but I don't know if that's possible in cold water. I've been surfing since 1966, and as time goes by you get more and more grateful just to have made it this far."

Britney Spears Is a Polo Girl
Now that her crazy days of hanging around leeches and opportunistic scum seem to be behind her, pop tart Britney Spears is seeking a higher breed of companion.
Saturday afternoon found the Louisiana diva cheering on a match rail side at the Beverly Hills Polo Club.
Also chaperoning in attendance were the singer's father, Jamie Spears, and original managerial mastermind Larry Rudolph.
Whether Britney is aware of it or not, these horsey people don't allow just anybody to attend their sporty gatherings. So she should feel a little honored.
Well, her family seems to have paid for one team's shirts, which might have something to do with the warm welcome Brit received.
That and the fact that she didn't try to get behind the wheel on one of those horses.

ScottGu posted over the weekend about Silverlight 2, and even though I will be away from the web scene for awhile while working on my current project, I am still excited. There are links to 8 Silverlight 2 tutorials. Key features include:
- WPF UI Framework: This is a compatible subset of the WinForms WPF framework. You should be able to re-use controls written in Silverlight 2.0 in your WPF projects. Some WPF controls may not be compatible, and hopefully control creators will try to target both frameworks.
- Rich Controls: TextBox, CheckBox, RadioButton, StackPanel, Grid, Panel, Slider, ScrollViewer, Calendar, DatePicker, DataGrid, ListBox were listed in Scott's post.
- Rich Networking Support: Out of the box support for REST, WS*/SOAP, PX, RSS and HTTP. You can access resources on the web, and there is also built in support for sockets.
- Rich Base Class Library: A compatible subset of the base class library including collections, IO, generics, threading, globalization, XML as well as LINQ and LINQ to XML.
Now the question is, what ever happened with Silverlight on the Compact Framework? If you remember from Mix 07, during the MLB demo, the presenter showed off a "Silverlight" application running on a Smart Phone (see this blog post for some details). Is it any coincidence that this Silverlight 2 announcement happens only weeks before Mix 08 and painfully leaves out any compact framework details? Scott uses the phrase compatible subset in two places when describing the features of Silverlight 2.0. Compatible Subset is an interesting choice of words, as you could describe the Compact Framework in that way as well. Should I really be getting this excited in thinking that Silverlight 2 will be released for the Compact Framework when we having even seen a 1.x build that runs on it?
Yes. Maybe I'll be disappointed, but I will be keeping a very, very close eye on the Mix 08 conference. Larry has a great post up entitled 5 things to do if you are not going to MIX. If you are stuck in the middle of a frozen wasteland like Larry and I (well maybe not wasteland, but compared to Vegas, the upper Midwest leaves something to be desired right now), or can't attend MIX for any reason, I suggest you read up on how to make the most of MIX as a "virtual" attendee. So set your outlook calendar to out of office for Mach 5-7th.

Notching up a neat ninety was as easy as pie for this years ICSE and ISC candidates in Jharkhand with roughly a third of them exceeding this benchmark of academic excellence as the Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations declared the results on Friday afternoon.
Around 10,000 students had appeared for their Class X examinations from the state in February-March, while 5,000 took the test for Class XII. Ajit Xess, the co-ordinator for Ranchi, said the pass percentage for ICSE was 99.4 and that for ISC was 98.
Ranchis 28 affiliated schools had 3,000 ICSE and 700 ISC candidates this year. Among them, at least 30 per cent scored an aggregate of 90 per cent or above, not to mention even better subject-wise marks.
In Jamshedpur, 3,500 children from 29 cradles appeared for their Class X exam, while 2,500 from 20 of these schools took their Class XII challenge. Around 800-odd candidates cleared their exams with flying colours, if 90 per cent is taken the benchmark.
Likewise, from Bokaros two affiliated schools St Xaviers and De Nobili (Chandrapura) there were around 605 examinees. School authorities claimed cent per cent success rate, while 60 per cent of ICSE candidates flaunted the enviable scorecard. In ISC, 65 per cent students received nearly 90 per cent aggregate.
Dhanbad remained a distant cousin, although there was no dearth of individual performers. From its nine schools, 1,100 appeared for ICSE and 600 for ISC. Around 120 Class X examinees notched up ninety, while the figure was below 60 in case of ISC.
Subject-wise, mathematics, computer application and science remained on A-list.
Ekta Kumari of Rajendra Vidyalaya, Jamshedpur, scored 97.8 per cent. Class X student of St Xaviers, Ranchi, Shashank Shekhar scored a perfect 100 in mathematics and computers, while his ICSE aggregate was 97.6 per cent. He shares the rank with De Nobilis Shubham Roy. and Shruti Rajlakshmi of Jamshedpurs Loyola School and Utkarsh Tyagi of Hill Top School.
My mantra was hard work and nothing else, said Shashank, also an IIT aspirant.
In ISC (science), Anugrah Agnihotri of DBMS English School scored 98 per cent; in commerce, Pooja Parwal of DBMS English School bagged 97.25 per cent; and in arts, Alokparna Chatterjee of Sacred Heart Convent School received 93.25 per cent.
St Xaviers (Ranchi) principal Father Ajit Xess said results had improved tremendously. I am happy with our ISC students. Also, 25 have cracked the IIT-Main.

Southwestern Energy
Southwestern Energy (SWN) is well-positioned to benefit from rising gas demand. The natural gas stock is one of the biggest players in some of the most prolific shale fields in the country. Those fields include Pennsylvania's mammoth Marcellus and roughly 915,000 acres in the Fayetteville shale of Oklahoma and Arkansas.
While the focus on dry gas has hindered many other natural gas stocks, SWN has benefited due to its drilling efficiencies and low cost structure. Southwestern's finding and development costs have averaged below $1.50 per millions of cubic feet of natural gas equivalent over the last three years. Only a small handful of natural gas companies — including Range Resources (RRC) — have beaten SWN in that regard.
Those low capex costs have helped the firm see huge returns in the earnings department.
The natural gas stock reported a 34.2% jump in profits and a 25.5% increase revenues vs. the year-ago quarter. That follows SWN's massive 108% profit gain reported in the second quarter. With Southwestern deciding to hike its 2013 capital spending plan to $2.25 billion, analysts estimate that the boost in output should help profits grow even further into 2014.
SWN shares currently trade for a forward P/E of 17.

CERRITOS - The best season in Duarte High School girls basketball history came to an end Wednesday.
The fifth-seeded Falcons (25-2) made their first trip to the CIF-Southern Section Division 4A quarterfinals but dropped a 54-45 decision to fourth-seeded Valley Christian.
A lack of playoff experience might have hurt the young Falcons as the Crusaders (19-9), 2010 CIF-Division 5A finalists, kept forcing turnovers and went on a 14-2 run to close out the game.
"We had a good run," Falcons coach Mark Smith said. "These girls had an outstanding season but (Valley Christian) deserves the win. She (Kari Korver) is a great shooter and she just willed her team to the win."
The Falcons led by a point at the end of three quarters but couldn't shut down Korver, an all-CIF guard, in the fourth.
Korver had 14 points in the fourth quarter, including 4 of 5 3-pointers, all from beyond 25 feet. Korver led all scorers with 29 points, including seven 3's. Jamie Perez added 17 for the Crusaders.
"She can knock those down," Crusaders coach Katie Hardeman said. "She just thrives under pressure and she could feel the momentum. She's done that a lot for us."
Korver also had a pair of 3's in the first quarter before the Falcons went to a box-and-one defense with Danielle Reed dogging Korver all over the court.
"Reed did a good job on her," Smith said. "But (Korver) just got hot. Maybe this will inspire us for next year."
The Falcons had their last lead at the 3:30 mark of the fourth quarter when Mikayla Tickey scored inside before Korver got hot.
Yasmine Wilson led the Falcons with 13 points. Imari Brown was also in double figures with 10 points.

Australian Memory of the World Register 2008
Joint nomination by the State Library of South Australia and the Adelaide City Council
The State Library's papers of Colonel William Light, the first Surveyor General of South Australia, comprise inward and outward correspondence with individuals and organizations in South Australia and London, notebooks, diaries, sketchbooks and artworks. They cover the period from his service in the British Army in the Peninsular Wars 1809-1812 to his death in South Australia in October 1839, and papers relating to his estate up to 1841.
The Light papers are one of the most important collections of personal papers relating to the foundation period of the colony of South Australia from 1836 onwards. The papers show evidence of the plan Light adopted for the principal town of Adelaide with its distinctive surrounding parklands and the site for its port, and the opposition to the sites selected. They refer to Light's preference for accurate (but slower) trigonometric survey techniques rather than the Colonization Commissioners preferred running survey. Adelaide was the first town planned in the world using a trigonometric survey for cadastral purposes
Most of the Light papers at the State Library are those which survived a fire at his hut in Adelaide in January 1839. The correspondence shows his relations with all the other key players in the foundation period of the colony, especially relating to the site of the city, the survey of land and establishing a suitable port. Light's background in the Mediterranean gave him confidence in the safe harbour offered by the Port River and in the Mount Lofty Ranges providing rainfall on the adjacent plains, making the area most suitable for his settlement.
His role as the first Surveyor General of the new province was carried out alongside his ever present struggle with illness, his exasperation with other officials and the difficulties of managing the all important survey of land for the new colonists around Adelaide. His papers give clear insight into the problems he faced and how they were dealt with, including the lack of time he was given to accomplish the enormous task.
The papers are important for their insight into the controversy about whether Light or his deputy George Strickland Kingston was the originator of the plan for the city of Adelaide. The Kingston archives have all but disappeared. The Light papers have been extensively consulted by historians engaged in this ongoing debate.
Maria Gandy, Light's companion, inherited all his papers on his death. In 1840 she married Dr George Mayo but died in 1847. Their son George Gibbes Mayo inherited the Light papers and died in 1894. His three surviving children, under directions drawn up and signed in 1958, deposited the majority of the papers in the Barr Smith Library, with the ultimate provision that they be presented to the Libraries Board of South Australia for permanent preservation. These papers were transferred on 27 November 1967. The Peninsular Wars diary 1809-1812 was acquired in June 1922 under the terms of the will of R. Cooper.
The recent addition to the record group of a letter by Light to his friend George Jones enhances the significance of the records as it predates by five weeks previous knowledge on the selection of the site for Adelaide. It was purchased from Christies Auction House in London in 2005.

Wooden Cutting Food is rated out of 5 by 75.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Doddie23 from Quality wood toy! We have had our fruit/vegetable set for 2+ years and they have really stood the test of time. A little bit of paint has chipped off, but overall these look great! They still stick together and my kids love chopping the food. We love to play Masterchef!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Beesknees from A favorite toy! We've had this toy since my 6 year old was a baby. She loved to sit and "cut" the fruits and vegetables over and over. I've had 3 kids since and they have all enjoyed playing with it! The velcro isn't as reliable as it once was, but that is to be expected after 6 years of use :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by eknight from Fun for Kids- neat idea We have a few different sets of play food and these seem to hold up really well. Also the kids love being able to cut them up since knives are off limits in the real kitchen!

Rated 5 out of 5 by RandiM from Our favorite toy! My boys love to help in the kitchen, and when my youngest took an interest in chopping food this was my idea for a safer and more entertaining alternative :) my boys have played with this from 4 years old to 7 years and they still have a blast being chefs and making fun food creations. My boys play with this food set for hours and they love to see me "eat " their yummy recipes. The hook and loops still work great after years of use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jabatka123 from Wonderful wooden toy!!!! Bought this about two months ago. Outside of our own children we also have other kids comming over and all of the kids like to play with it. They love to cut up the bread and vegetables and make sandwitches. I, as an adult, even love playing with it as well. This set along with the kitchen, breakfast set and toaster are the most played toys in our house by both boys and girls. Our son is happy when he can make breackfast lunch or dinner for both my husband and me and we love to pretend that the food he made is the best. It just makes him so happy. Our 10 month old girl also prefers these toys over her baby toys.

Taking it Slow
Recently I was poking around the internet looking for more information about Slow Towns. This was because late in 2010, Africa's very first Slow Town was officially declared. It is Sedgefield - a sleepy village (obviously) on the Garden Route.
The wonder is that it took so long for Africa to have its first official Slow Town. I have a feeling that the continent will take to it like a duck to water.
That is why Slow Food, Slow Towns and Slow Travel are perfect for a trip to Africa - specifically South Africa, which offers the kind of intense experiences combined with tranquillity that really lend themselves to Slow Living generally.
A bit of quick info about all this Slow Stuff: the movement for Slow Food arose in Italy (where else?) in the 1980s as a reaction against the onslaught of Fast Food. It quickly gained favour there and also France - not surprising, since as I have gleaned from A Year in Provence, lunches can take hours. Since then, the movement has spread, in different forms around the world.
Sedgefield is our first Slow Town (and will soon be celebrating its own Slow Festival) but there is also a growing Slow Food Movement - in the energetic Johannesburg, the pretty lively Cape Town and the extremely laid back Karoo.
But what really attracts me is Slow Travel. As I get older, I find it increasingly agreeable to just sit on a verandah in the heat of the day, and observe things. It's good to go for long rambles, to spend time reading, to stay in a town for a week, instead of just a day.
It's tempting to rush about sometimes, but the most memorable holidays are the ones where you just find time to sit, to talk to new friends and to slowly savour new food. Somehow, it all sinks in a little better…

Derrick Rose scored 32 points on 11-of-18 shooting and added 11 assists Wednesday to lead the Chicago Bulls to their sixth straight win, a 106-88 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, who had their nine-game home winning streak snapped.
Luol Deng chipped in 26 points and Carlos Boozer collected 16 and 10 rebounds for the Bulls, who became the first team to beat the Clippers at Staples Center since Atlanta on Jan. 2.
Just a .500 team on the road entering Wednesday's action, Chicago looked right at home in the opener of a five-game road trip, scoring the first five points of the game and never trailing.
The Clippers kept it close in the first half but missed three straight shots and committed a pair of turnovers out of the break as the Bulls took off on a 15-4 spurt to push the lead to double digits.
Los Angeles cut it to eight points in the final minute of the third period, but Rose drained a 3-pointer on the last possession to make it 82-71 entering the fourth quarter.
Chicago began the final period with a 7-0 burst and coasted to the finish.
Rookie sensation Blake Griffin recorded 32 points and 13 rebounds but was just 4-of-13 from the line for Los Angeles, which embarks on an 11-game road trip Friday that includes three back-to-backs, seven opponents above .500 and carries through the All-Star break and trading deadline.

From road warriors to long-term guests to high-profile visitors, your hotel property no doubt has some demanding travelers with unique needs. Satisfying their needs and creating memorable guest experiences are paramount to driving loyalty. Evaluating your current technology situation and making targeted improvements is a major step hoteliers can take to satisfying these guests. Here are five steps to take customer service to the next level.
1. Improve your guest Wi-Fi
In a recently commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Motorola Solutions, 90 percent of business and recreational travelers surveyed wished hotels offered Wi-Fi as an amenity, making it the top priority of both business and recreational travelers. In addition, more than 90 percent of hotel guests surveyed indicated they wanted Wi-Fi in their hotel rooms, not just in common areas and 40 percent of business travelers said they would not stay at a hotel without Internet. There is a clear desire and need from guests to have Wi-Fi that works.
Depending on your current wiring, there are several options you have to upgrade your wireless environment. Check out each area of your hotel to see where the Wi-Fi signal is weak or nonexistent. Make sure you are making the most out of access points and wall ports through smart placement and network management. These improvements can ensure a seamless, optimized experience for your demanding guests.
2. Secure your guest Wi-Fi
Of course, having reliable high-speed Internet access for your guests means nothing if they don't feel safe using your network. Hackers, rogue devices and other malicious intruders can seriously compromise the hotel's data and that of your guests on the devices they use on your network. Securing your network can put your guests at ease and make your property feel like a safe place to get work done.
Take a look at how you are managing your network's security management and perform rigorous testing to make sure there are no vulnerabilities hackers can exploit. A sophisticated management platform can run software to help protect your network on an ongoing basis and perform other maintenance. Remember: this isn't a one-and-done situation. You need to frequently evaluate the safety of your network as new threats quickly evolve.
3. Improve staff communications
The most prestigious hotels pride themselves on quickly attending to guest needs with discretion. Make sure your team members are equipped with the right tools to get their jobs done right. Professional two-way radios that support push-to-talk and mobile computers with VoWLAN capabilities allow for seamless communication and provide a powerful tool in a hotel's management and customer service initiative. Today, expanded two-way radio portfolios and mobile computers offer ideal solutions for a number of people with a diverse amount of needs, from the front desk, to event planners, to staff engineers.
A missed call, user error, a garbled message or dead battery can mean lowered productivity, wasted time and money, unsatisfied customers and lost business. Take inventory of your staff communications solution especially if you are still trying to replicate the recently shut-down Sprint iDEN Nextel National Network. Radios and VoWLAN are options to address your communication solutions needs as they are crucial to satisfying the needs of all guests, and especially the most demanding guests.
4. Better delegate worker tasks
A high-profile guest calls the front desk, informing staff that the sink appears to be clogged. He is stepping out to dinner now and wants the sink fixed by the time he returns. With your improved staff communications, you can reach the maintenance team manager quickly and relay the correct information. Using mobile workforce management software, that manager can quickly and discreetly reach the closest, most qualified individual to make that repair on his mobile device and send him the task. The worker knows it is a priority task and takes care of it quickly, marking it as complete on his device so the manager knows the work is done, and the issue is resolved hours before the guest returns.
Sounds like a dream? With the right software and device mix, it's completely possible. Mobile workforce management software is a great way to make sure team members know what is on their task list and for managers to track their completion in real-time. Devices such as tablets, handheld computers and two-way radios make it easier to create and delegate these tasks on the go, and make sure even the most demanding guests get five-star service.
5. Give guests what they want, when they want it
Proximity marketing is opening a new realm of possibilities for hoteliers. The concept, in a nutshell, is providing guests with notifications and offers when they are on your property. For example, a long-term guest walks into a hotel after checking in on her mobile device. A personalized screen appears, welcoming the guest back and offering her a coupon for a cocktail at the bar that night as a welcome drink. These little touches can go a long way in securing guest loyalty, especially for all types of demanding travelers.
These five simple tips can help transform the experience for these demanding travelers. And the latest technology is the right partner to help you make this happen. For specific examples, check out Motorola Solutions' hospitality solutions.

Terra Zero has just interviewed Eduardo Risso at VIII FIQ (Festival Internacional de Quadrinhos) and he stated that both he and Paul Dini are working on a new Vertigo series.
And it will star a character from the Batman comics.
Let's let Google Translate fill you in. Or at least, scratch your head quizzically.
Eduardo Risso and Paul Dini will be together in a series of Vertigo with a character from the Batman universe. Risso did not reveal who the character, but proved quite interested in working with Dini and the universe of Batman once more. Interestingly he revealed that a few minutes after this writer had asked if he toparia with the entire team of 100 Bullets, making an issue of Wonder Woman. But superheroes are not really his thing.

In the production code, no. In the 3.2 code, the config parser allows
per-server and per-URL attributes, though not all attributes are "turned
on." (Unfortunately, the 3.2 documentation indicates the current wishlist
and not whether they actually work this way yet.)
But to answer your question, yes server_wait_time is among those that
works in this fashion in the current 3.2 code. Unfortunately there's no
way to do it in 3.1.x w/o multiple config files.

Singapore Researchers Pioneer 100,000 DPI Color Printing Method
Jason Mick
August 14, 2012 3:52 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Team uses patterned lithography instead of dye
Using tiny patterned metal nano-discs researchers at the
Agency for Science, Technology, and Research
Institute of Materials Research and Engineering
(IMRE) in Singapore have
[press release] a 100,000 dots-per-inch (dpi) print,
the highest resolution
color print ever produced.
According to the team industrial inkjet and laserjet printers can only reach a resolution of 10,000 dpi, while higher dpi research printers have only been capable of printing in a single color.
The key was to switch from a dye-based process or a lithography-type process. Lithography refers to process that deposits coating material in a static pattern on another material.
In the nano-printer, researchers use lithography to produce raised nano-patterns on a surface, which when coated in metal yield different colors. Describes project leader, Dr. Joel Yang, "Instead of using different dyes for different colours, we encoded colour information into the size and position of tiny metal disks. These disks then interacted with light through the phenomenon of plasmon resonances."
"The team built a database of colour that corresponded to a specific nanostructure pattern, size and spacing. These nanostructures were then positioned accordingly. Similar to a child's 'colouring-by-numbers' image, the sizes and positions of these nanostructures defined the 'numbers'."
The etched image is colorless until the ultrathin metal film is applied.
Comments Dr. Yang, "But instead of sequentially colouring each area with a different ink, an ultrathin and uniform metal film was deposited across the entire image causing the 'encoded' colours to appear all at once, almost like magic!"
The patterned nanostructures (a) are colorless and gray scale, but once the metal thin film is added (b) high-density color is observed. [Image Source: A*STAR]
Dr. Karthik Kumar, another member of the research team, adds, "The resolution of printed colour images very much depends on the size and spacing between individual 'nanodots' of colour. The closer the dots are together and because of their small size, the higher the resolution of the image. With the ability to accurately position these extremely small colour dots, we were able to demonstrate the highest theoretical print colour resolution of 100,000 dpi."
A key component of enabling the printing of real-world test images was to run computer simulations of various nano-structures to build the palette. The simulations were performed at A*STAR's
Institute of High Performance Computing
(IHPC). Comments simulation leader Dr Ravi Hegde, "The computer simulations were vital in understanding how the structures gave rise to such rich colours. This knowledge is currently being used to predict the behaviour of more complicated nanostructure arrays."
There's the obvious application of this technology -- high resolution color printing. But researchers say the technology could also be used for high-density
optical storage
and to create
high-resolution reflective color displays
[abstract] the work in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal
Nature Nanotechnology
, A*STAR is now looking to patent and license the novel coloring method.

From the many new eReader model announcements to Overdrive enhancements, there's a lot to be excited about in the eReading world these days.
This September saw announcements of new Amazon Kindles, Barnes & Noble NOOKS and kobos. All of these eReader lines now have e-ink readers (black & white) and eReader tablets. A growing trend, started by NOOK in April, is the introduction of eReaders that light up for low-light reading. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, the NOOK GlowLight and koboglo all promise to provide an eReading experience that's easy on the eyes, but will also allow reading in the dark.
Another growing area in eReader design is the multipurpose tablet. Both Amazon's Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble's Nook Color have been updated within the last several weeks adding more features including, high resolution displays and new size options (7" and 9"). These new versions are now known as Kindle Fire HD and NOOK HD respectively. Kobo will also be joining the tablet eReader game with their own 7" HD tablet named koboarc. Also, it is widely rumored that Apple may introduce a smaller iPad in the near future to compete more directly with eReading tablets, both in price and form factor. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
In other eReading news, the new free Overdrive app will allow NOOK tablet owners to enjoy the same wireless download experience that kindle users have had. NOOK tablet users will no longer need to download Adobe Digital Editions and connect their NOOK to a computer. They can browse, checkout and download all from their device.

It has become a space-based myth. The Great Wall of China, frequently billed as the only man-made object visible from space, generally isn't, at least to the unaided eye in low Earth orbit. It certainly isn't visible from the Moon.
You can, though, see a lot of other results of human activity.
The visible wall theory was shaken after China's own astronaut, Yang Liwei, said he couldn�t see the historic structure. There was even talk about rewriting textbooks that espouse the theory, a formidable task in the Earth�s most populous nation.
The issue surfaced again after photos taken by Leroy Chiao from the International Space Station were determined to show small sections of the wall in Inner Mongolia about 200 miles north of Beijing.
Taken with a 180mm lens and a digital camera last Nov. 24, it was the first confirmed photo of the wall. A subsequent Chiao photo, taken Feb. 20 with a 400mm lens, may also show the wall.
The photos by Chiao, commander and NASA ISS science officer of the 10th Station crew, were greeted with relief and rejoicing by the Chinese. One was displayed prominently in the nation's newspapers. Chiao himself said he didn't see the wall, and wasn't sure if the picture showed it.
Kamlesh P. Lulla, NASA's chief scientist for Earth observation at Johnson Space Center in Houston, directs observation science activities from the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station.
He says that generally the Great Wall is hard to see and hard to photograph, because the material from which it is made is about the same color and texture as the area surrounding it.
"The interpretation of this (Nov. 24) ISS photo," Lulla said, "seems to be good. It appears that the right set of conditions must have occurred for this photograph to capture the small segment of the wall." It was a sunny day and a recent snowfall had helped make the wall more visible
The theory that the wall could be seen from the Moon dates back to at least 1938. It was repeated and grew until astronauts landed on the lunar surface.
"The only thing you can see from the Moon is a beautiful sphere, mostly white, some blue and patches of yellow, and every once in a while some green vegetation," said Alan Bean, Apollo 12 astronaut. "No man-made object is visible at this scale."
From space you can see a lot of things people have made, Lulla said. Perhaps most visible from low Earth orbit are cities at night. Cities can be seen during the day too, as can major roadways and bridges, airports, dams and reservoirs.
Of the wall visibility theories, Lulla said: "A lot has been said and written about how visible the wall is. In fact, it is very, very difficult to distinguish the Great Wall of China in astronaut photography, because the materials that were used in the wall are similar in color and texture to the materials of the land surrounding the wall -- the dirt."
It's questionable whether you can see it with the unaided eye from space. "The shape, the age of the structure, the resolution of the camera, the condition of the atmosphere -- all these factors affect the ability to detect an object from space." But, he added, "you can see the wall in radar images taken from space."
