Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference, 2E. Chapter 6: Scripting Events
Dragging Elements
The final example in this chapter, Example 6-2, demonstrates how event bubbling lets document-level event handlers control dragging positioned elements on the page. To provide legacy support for readers of the first edition of this book, the code includes branches that accommodate the unique requirements of Netscape Navigator 4, whose layer objects may be positioned dynamically. While Navigator 4 does not employ event bubbling, it does allow for the equivalent of the W3C's event capture mechanism, albeit switched on with very different syntax. But all event processing takes place at the same node level for all browsers. In truth, if the dragging operation were being implemented in just one object model, the scripts and approach to the dragging control would be tailored to take advantage of the event and object features of that model. But the goal here is a completely cross-browser implementation that supports any browser capable of positioned elements. To that end, the code relies on a handful of routines from the DHTML API described in Chapter 4. Although Example 6-2 links in the entire library, you should also consider creating a separate
.js library with a subset of the entire API needed to support the dragging operations, and thus minimize the amount of code that travels to the client.
The dragging system implemented in this example has a simple design behind it. Three mouse events--
onmousemove, and
onmouseup--control the action. Event handlers for all three events are assigned to the document node. Navigator 4 grabs the events before they reach their targets, while the IE and W3C event models wait for the events to bubble up from their targets.
Each event type has a specific role to play. The
onmousedown event handler (the
engage() function) validates that the event occurred on a draggable item and sets three global variables that the other event handlers will use. One variable,
selectedObj, is a reference to the element that will be dragged. The other two variables,
offsetX and
offsetY, preserve the
onmousedown event coordinates within the draggable element so that as the user moves the cursor to drag the element, the cursor maintains its spatial relationship within the element. The
onmousemove event handler (
dragIt()) keeps the element in position with the moving cursor until the
onmouseup event fires. At that point, the
release() function removes the reference from
selectedObj. Any time that variable is
null, incidental
onmousemove events that occur atop the elements don't affect their positions.
Assigning the event handlers to the document node offers two significant advantages. First, a mere three event handler assignments take care of as many draggable items as you want to place on the page. Second, while the user drags the element, element rendering may not refresh as quickly as the cursor moves, preventing the
onmousemove or
onmouseup events from firing on the draggable elements. But when the
engage() function "switches on" dragging for a particular element, all
onmousemove and
onmouseup events for other elements bubble up to the
document level (unless they are explicitly canceled), and the
dragIt() and
release() functions do their jobs because the dragging mode for the selected object is still switched on. As long as the user keeps the mouse button down, the draggable element will catch up to the cursor position.
All the dragging event handlers are assigned as properties in an
init() function invoked by the
onload event handler. The only platform-specific process taking place here involves setting the
document.captureEvents() method to grab all mouse down and mouse move events that come in from Navigator 4.
The draggable elements in this example are two absolute-positioned
div elements that contain
img elements. The user can click on either image and drag that image (and its
div) around the page. Wrapping the image with a
div element helps with a couple of fine points about this example. For one, absolute-positioned
div and
span elements are better behaved in Navigator 4 than positioning other kinds of elements (
layer elements are the best behaved, but they are unique to Navigator 4). But more important is demonstrating one way to assure that event targets inside a positioned element (the
img elements are the targets here) translate into a reference to the container, because the container is the element that gets positioned (while its contents go along for the ride).
Notice in Example 6-2 how the IDs of the image event targets and their divs are related (
imgA and
imgAWrap). The filtering in the
setSelectedElem() function uses the fact that the
img element targets have name and
src properties assigned to them. If that's the case for a particular
onmousedown event, then the ID for the div wrapper gets assembled from the target's name and the "Wrap" add-on. This approach certainly works, but its looseness is necessitated by the support required for Navigator 4's immature DOM. If this were being written for IE 5 (or later) and Netscape 6 (or later), a much more generalizable solution is possible and preferable. For example, you could assign an identifier to the
class attribute of the
img elements (e.g.,
draggable), and let
setSelectedElem() simply look for the event target's
className property that equals that identifier. If there's a match, you could immediately set the global
selectedObj variable to the event target's
parentNode property:
selectedObj = (target.className == "draggable") ? target.parentNode : null;
No other element referencing or naming games would be necessary.
Notice, too, that the
setSelectedElem() function sets the stacking order of the element to an arbitrarily high number. You want a selected element to be atop all its peers as the user drags it around the screen.
Coordinate systems play a significant role in scripting the drag process. Ideally, the element should track from the point where the user clicks inside the element. This means that the location (top left corner) of the element must be offset (up and to the left) from the cursor position by the number of pixels of the click offset within that element. This information isn't as easy to come by as you might think. Not all event models report the offsets within a positioned container; those that do need further adjustments for document scrolling or inherent bugs. The tripartite branch in the
engage() function takes care of the measurements for three event model implementations:
Navigator 4 and Netscape 6 (the latter supports the
pageYproperties of the event object, even though they are not part of the W3C event model)
IE, including the corrections for scrolling and occasional erroneous values in IE/ Mac
A pure W3C event model, which Opera follows in this case, and Netscape 6 or later would also follow if the first branch were absent
Offset values are stored as global variables in Example 6-2, so that the dragging action can use them for proper placement of the element under the cursor.
Making the element track the cursor in the
dragIt() function also requires some calculation. Using the
shiftTo() function from the DHTML API, the script sets the location of the element within the page (or client) space after each mouse movement.
Despite the amount of object detection branching taking place in Example 6-2, if you trimmed the scripts to work only in IE 5 (or later) and Netscape 6 (or later), and employed the
className and
parentNode tips described earlier, you could easily make the dragging functionality into a reusable library, nearly independent of the specific content on the page. The only care you'd have to exercise is assigning your chosen class identifier to the draggable image or area of the positioned element, such as a pseudo-titlebar of a "floating" palette. This example also works as-is only with positioned elements that use the
body or
document element (depending on your standards-compatibility mode) as the positioning context. Modifications would be needed to nest the positioned elements in other contexts.

TThanks in anticipation!
any of you ewxperts can tell me f my Custom art & Historic LP Custom '54 BB has a holly headstock veneer and how can I tell? NAd indeed why do they put it in?!
TThanks in anticipation!
I played truth or dare with Holly Headstock when I was 13...
Oh wait, nevermind!
I'd check with the Historic district forum. They should be able to tell you.
It has one.
They use it because that's what they used to use on them. On the new production (= USA) models, they use fiberboard overlays.
When you remove the trussrod cover, sometimes you can see the edge of the headstock veneer around the trussrod access rout. If it is black all the way through, then it could be fiber. However if you can see lighter wood with black stain on the surface it's definitely holly wood veneer. Sometimes the stain goes all the way through so the only way to distinguish the holly is on an older guitar where the lacquer has shrunk and the wood grain starts to print through. It's subtle but it's part of the charm.
Anyway my understanding is that the Historics have had the holly veneer for years now. According to the Custom Administrator on the Gibson forum 8/31/2008, "There have been no spec changes to the R9 since 2003" (other than the VOS finish option). So I doubt they made any changes to the R4 Customs and yours would have holly.
By the way does anyone know when they started using the fiber headplates on production guitars?
By the way, USA does not use overlays. They use genuine Mother of Pearl Inlays.
Actually I can see the Holly veneer on the side of the headstock of my R8.
Tone For Days
The Stumble
"The instrument is what it is in your hands with your amp. They all sound the same in the case. Because I have 20 of them in cases making the same sound."
"Every kid likes Led Zeppelin, unless there's something wrong with them" - Joe Bonamassa
Don't neglect the spiritual side of your life. Find the best person you know, nail him to a cross, and worship him.
Actually, USA uses bakelite veneers inlayed with genuine Mother of Pearl
that they laminate to the headstock.
bakelite?....theres a word I havent heard in years.
That sounds about right. For a couple of years they inlaid a solid pearl block and used a stencil to paint the "gibson" logo. This saved them the cost of cutting the inlay in the "Gibson" shape, but ,of course, if the headstock was stripped and refinished, you lost the Gibson logo. I think it was right after that that they began using fiber headstock veneers. Gibson buys them pre-inlaid from Germany, I believe.
There were synthetic-fiber headstock overlays with the 70s-style Gibson logo for sale on eBay. I bought some from a seller in Germany and theyre dead-on accurate to my eyes. Some sellers claim theyre leftover parts from the Kalamazoo plant (my seller didnt.)

How Did You Get Started?
My story is pretty similar to many others. I have been an athlete since I left the womb. When my college volleyball career was nearing its end, I didn't want that to translate into becoming a lazy bum. I had worked out with weights and cardio since high school to stay in shape.
Then one fateful day, I met with one of the personal trainers at my gym by the name of Mike Graham. Not only did he help me in my pursuit of bodybuilding; he taught me so many of the fundamentals of nutrition and training. From that point, I have encountered several people that have inspired and encouraged my fitness goals; Antonio Gerald, a great fellow bodybuilder with an enthusiastic spirit; Barry Brooks, a fantastic photographer that has not only taken exquisite pictures and helped me with my posing, but he has also opened so many doors that I will be forever grateful; and Patrick Gargett, my boyfriend and nutritionist, the one who has inspired me since the day that I met him. His freakish understanding of exercise physiology and nutrition is what has brought out the best in my physique.
What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?

What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You?
Aaaah... nutrition - The key to everything. For the NPC Indiana State, I worked with the most insightful man I have encountered yet, Patrick Gargett.
The diet he devised for me had a vast variety of proteins (eggs, beef, turkey, fish, chicken). This time around, I definitely utilized supplementation. I was taking CLA, L-Carnitine, Yohimbe, liver tabs, aminos, vitamin paks, and some that I am probably forgetting. I had a big baggie of supps to take everyday.
What Supplements Have Given You The Greatest Gains?
By far Beverly Int'l products. I am a huge fan of their protein.
Why do you love Bodybuilding?
It is such an extreme sport. I love that not everyone can hack it. Only the strong survive.
What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?
I'm not opposed to being Ms. Olympia. Short-term, I plan on doing a national show within the next year. All in all, I just hope to be a good ambassador of the sport.
What One Tip Would You Give Other Bodybuilders?
FOLLOW YOUR DIET! Training is the fun part.
Who Are Your Favorite Bodybuilders?
Lenda Murray, definitely Flex Wheeler, and Branch Warren is starting to grow on me as well. I also love anyone that can put on a good show.

Game of Thrones wins six Emmys
The fantasy series Game of Thrones was the big winner at the creative arts Emmy Awards.
The HBO saga received a leading six trophies at the ceremony that recognises technical and other achievements. Best special visual effects and best costumes for a series were among the trophies claimed by Game of Thrones.
Others honoured at the ceremony were four TV series guest stars, including Kathy Bates for CBS's Two and a Half Men and Jimmy Fallon as host of NBC's Saturday Night Live.
Kathy has a shot at another trophy, for best actress, in Harry's Law, her cancelled NBC series, at the prime-time Emmy ceremony which airs on September 23.
Earlier this week, she said she was recovering from a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer two months ago. She did not accept Saturday's award in person.
On the drama side, Emmys went to Jeremy Davies for his guest appearance on FX's Justified and Martha Plimpton for her turn on CBS's The Good Wife.
Programs with multiple-award bragging rights included Discovery Channel's Frozen Planet, Great Expectations on PBS' Masterpiece showcase and Saturday Night Live, each of which earned four Emmys.
History Channel's Hatfields & McCoys, HBO's Boardwalk Empire and the 65th annual Tony Awards on CBS each nabbed three awards.
Among networks, HBO earned a leading 17 creative arts Emmys, followed by CBS with 13 and PBS with 11. Discovery received six awards, NBC got five and ABC and the Cartoon Network won four each. Fox won two trophies.
Emmys in 26 categories including acting, writing and directing will be presented at the ceremony airing live on ABC.

Beyond the sheer number of devices sold, one of the biggest ways to Apple and Google try to position themselves as having the top mobile platform is by comparing the number of third-party apps available for users to download. Apple usually takes the number of apps available one step further when comparing iOS to Android by pointing out how many apps take advantage of the iPad's tablet features such as screen size.
This is one of the reasons that an active and developer community is crucial a mobile platform's success. Although Android entered the app race after Apple had begun to establish a successful developer community, the platform began to catch up quickly. All that seems to have changed over the past year, with a new report showing iOS developers are now creating three apps for every single new Android app.
The trend was identified by Flurry, a company that helps mobile developers integrate analytics and advertising into their apps. Flurry noted that at the beginning of 2011, the rates were much closer with two new Android apps for every three iOS apps. Peter Farago, vice president of marketing at Flurry noted that the company "saw a greater migration to iOS."
That has longterm implications for both consumers and business users of third-party apps and some of the same trends causing developers to prefer iOS could easily apply to in-house app development at enterprise companies – particularly if you look at some of the trends that Businessweek identified based on the Flurry data and developer interviews, which include:
- The simpler development process and toolkit for iOS
- The variety of of Android devices including non-standard Android platforms like Amazon's Kindle Fire
- The single Apple-managed App Store versus as many as 90 Android storefronts, including Google's Android Market
- The differences in purchasing culture (iOS tends to offer more paid app success compared to Android where there is an expectation for apps to be free and developers to make money by in-app sales and ads)
For businesses developing apps, two of those trends – the ease of development and the limited variation between devices – certainly make iOS a much more attractive candidate. The inherently better security of iOS is also likely to sway corporate IT departments to prefer iOS as a platform for internal apps compared to Android.
It's also worth noting that these four trends may be part of the reason that Android developers haven't yet embraced tablet development in the same way that iOS developers have jumped on the iPad bandwagon.

Even Victoria Beckham can't escape the ghosts of hairstyles past
Victoria Beckham can't help laughing at her old hairstyles.
The fashion designer has been bright blonde and deep brunette during her life, sporting everything from long extensions to a pixie crop and her iconic Pob - Posh bob - style. She revisited some of her old looks while sorting out which of her clothes to sell for charity recently and couldn't believe what she saw.
"I laughed a lot - not just at the clothes, but the hair! The hair has been through some changes, that's for sure," she giggled to British magazine Hello! "It brought back a lot of really happy memories, like the dress I wore years ago to the MTV Awards, which was especially created for me by Dolce & Gabbana. This was when David and I were co-ordinated because that's what we did in those days. We wouldn't do it now, but it was fine at the time. The event was so fun and I remember getting dressed, the hair and the make-up and the beautiful diamonds, and how special I felt when I was putting on that dress."
The piece Victoria was talking about was a long white frock, which was laced up the front and skimmed over her svelte figure.
Last week the star confirmed she is selling off 600 pieces from her wardrobe in collaboration with TheOutnet.com. The money raised will go to mothers2mothers, a charity which aims to stop the spread of HIV and AIDS from mothers to their children.
Many of the items selected have deep meaning for the former Spice Girl, such as a green dress by Louis Féraud she wore during a trip to France in 2008.
"The dress I wore for a weekend in Paris with Katie Holmes. We went to the Chanel show and not only that, we met Karl Lagerfeld for the first time, which was fabulous," she recalled. "I don't take any of these things for granted at all. I enjoy every single moment. I've been so lucky to experience the things that I've experienced and to meet the people that I have met and I want to share that with people."

How Did You Get Started?
I started training in Junior High but had no idea what I was doing. Everyday was bench and bi's; I thought that I would be stronger the next day so I kept going back to see if I could get the weight I missed the day before. I really had no clue how to train.
My sophomore year in high school I found an old Muscle and Fitness while working on a school project. I took the magazine home and read it from front to back. I started using some of the routines and following the diet advice I had seen in the magazine I noticed almost immediate changes in my progress. I was hooked from that point on!
What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?
I cannot really say what works best for me since I feel that I am still learning what works for my body. The program I follow now I have been using for the last 2-3 years and has worked well for me.
I train four days a week: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. The workouts are usually the same but every once in a while I change it up.
A typical training week:
MONDAY: Chest and Biceps
Flat Bench 4 sets 6-8
Incline Bench 3 Sets 6-8
Smith Machine Incline 2 sets 6-8
Hammer Strength Decline 2 sets 6-8
Standing EZ Bar Curls 4 sets 6-10
Standing DB Curls 3 sets 8-10

THURSDAY: Shoulders and Triceps
Military Press (to the front) 4 sets 6-8
DB Side Laterals 3 sets 8-10
Bent Over DB 3 sets 8-10

Partial or Full deadlifts 3 sets 4-8
Lying Hamstring Curls 3 sets 6-10
Stiff-legged Deadlifts 3 sets 6-10
That is a typical week for me things will vary sometimes depending on how I feel. Sometimes reps will be higher if something hurts or I'm just not into it. I try to listen to my body to see if I should push it and go heavy, go light or just go home.
What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You?
The diet I follow off season is nothing fancy; I shoot for 1.5-2 grams of protein per pound and 2-3 grams of carbs per pound of body weight. My protein sources are chicken, lean ground beef, protein shakes and some eggs. My carbs come from yams, oatmeal, brown rice, white rice and potatoes.
I take flax seed oil for healthy fats and occasionally some nuts and peanut butter. I eat seven or eight times a day and try to get about 2 gallons of water in. I stay pretty clean with my off season diet but if a want something I eat it.
I try not to replace the good food with junk food. I have done that in the past; try to get calories for the sake of getting calories it doesn't work well for me. I feel better and respond better to lots of clean food with the occasional cheesecake and pizza thrown into the mix.
Pre-contest I eat the same foods as I do off season I just drop and cycle my carbs. I eat more whole foods pre-contest. I usually have only 1-2 protein shakes as compared to 3-4 off season. The ground beef is also taken out and replaced with chicken or lean steak. Cheating is definitely out of the question pre-contest, I have been close a couple times but have never been able to do it.
What Supplements Have Given You The Greatest Gains?
As far as supplements go I don't use all that many, but as I said before I like Champion products. The Pure Whey tastes awesome, mixes easy and is pretty inexpensive.
I use the Creatine Xtreme and a scoop of the whey post-workout, which has worked well for me. I also use the Ultra-Met meal replacements when I don't have time to cook or in between meals.
Why do you love Bodybuilding?
I love the discipline, dedication and structure it takes to succeed in this sport. I have learned a lot from bodybuilding, not just about nutrition and exercise, but how to apply myself to achieve my goals in all aspects of my life.
With bodybuilding more than any other sport you have to live it 24-7, you are always in uniform you must always be on top of your game. I try to apply that same mentality to everything I do; my job, my relationships or whatever it may be.
What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?
My plan, since I started bodybuilding, has been to give it a hundred percent until I'm 30 and if I'm not where I want to be by then I will stop competing. If I have gotten to where I want to be by then, I will continue to compete as long as I feel I can make improvements.
I would love to turn pro and make a living doing something that I love. My main goal though is to be the best bodybuilder that I can be.
What One Tip Would You Give Other Bodybuilders?
This sport requires a lot of focus to succeed, stay focused but do not be too single minded. Find a balance that allows you to better yourself as a bodybuilder and also as a person.
Who Are Your Favorite Bodybuilders?
My all time favorite bodybuilder is Arnold, not only for the physique, but for the person as well. His ability to visualize what he wants and then make it a reality is incredible. What he has accomplished in his life is truly amazing; just one of his accomplishments would be enough to leave most people satisfied, but he keeps going.
I am also a huge Kevin Levrone fan, if I could choose a bodybuilder to look like it would be him. He has that old school aesthetic look with today's freaky mass and conditioning. He is definitely one of the best.

BOSTON, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- U.S. Rep. Stephen F. Lynch announced his run for the U.S. Senate Thursday, using a video to emphasize his blue-collar origins.
The socially conservative Democrat also emphasized his differences with rival U.S. Rep. Edward J. Markey, the party favorite, the Boston Globe reported.
Lynch noted his opposition to privatizing Medicare and Social Security, and said he was one of only two members of the state's congressional delegation to vote against the Wall Street bailout.
After campaign stops in Springfield and Worcester, he was scheduled to make an official announcement at an ironworkers union hall in South Boston, the Boston Herald reported.
Lynch was an ironworker for 18 years before running for office.

Kansas mayor faces recall vote in council dispute
May 25, 2014
Denison A small-town Kansas mayor faces an August recall vote after critics say she violated the state's open meetings law and doesn't get along well with most City Council members.
Denison Mayor Audrey Oliverius said the local discord is because the northeast Kansas community of roughly 190 residents simply doesn't like change.
City Council members "have a single-focus vision — getting rid of me," Oliverius told The Topeka Capital-Journal.
A recall petition presented to the Jackson County clerk earlier this month needed only 12 signatures from registered Denison voters to force a recall election but ended up with 29.
The petition states Oliverius called an executive session at the end of a regular City Council meeting March 10 — dismissing the public and city clerk — during which the council voted to appoint someone to fill a vacant seat.
Nearly four weeks later, Oliverius sent the city clerk an email telling her what to add to the March 10 minutes for the executive session, the petition says.
"I think it's mostly on her," said Bob Layton, who served as Denison mayor in 1987. "She has been abusive to city council members and toward the public. She is very controlling."
Layton said he told Oliverius and the city council at an April meeting that taking a vote during executive session violated the Kansas Open Meetings Act. He also said the person they appointed to fill the vacancy on the council couldn't serve because he wasn't a registered voter.
The city's office was closed about a month ago because the city clerk, city treasurer and utility supervisor resigned, Oliverius said.
She said she hasn't made a decision on whether she will step down, adding that things aren't going to get any better if she leaves.
"The community is suffering. This isn't about me," she said.
But Vickie Wold, one of two people considered for the vacant council seat, said if the mayor doesn't step down the community will push her out.
"We will campaign," Wold said. "She did break the law. We will have an election in August, and the people will speak."

Since Phillips & Company let you know about the very loud biodegradable Sun Chips bag, they wanted to also give you some other products that didn't do so well.
Products That Have Failed
1) New Coke
Probably the most famous of failed products. I think Bill Cosby even helped promote New Coke. How could it have gone so horribly wrong?? Not that hard, really. Why make a new Coke when the old Coke was pretty darn good to begin with? If it isn't broken, chances are it doesn't need to be fixed.
2) Crystal Pepsi
Crystal Pepsi actually was going strong, and, for a little while, it looked like it had some staying power. But in the end, the problem here was the same problem with New Coke. If regular Pepsi was doing just fine, why create a similar-tasting, caffeine-free, clear Pepsi?? There was no market need for it.
Apparently, the thinking was to target those Pepsi drinkers who were concerned about drinking (a) a dark-colored soda that (b) had loads of caffeine in it. The flaw in this thinking, however, was that Pepsi drinkers didn't really care about that kind of stuff.
3) McDonald's Arch Deluxe Burger
I barely remember this one. From what I learned, McDonald's was trying to target adults with this . . . ahem . . . "fine cuisine." So they offered a burger that was a little better than their regular rat meat burgers and charged significantly more for it. Presto! You have a failed product.
The lesson for Micky D's here is that, if you offer cheap grub food at dirt cheap prices and make millions of dollars doing it, why change? Let the "adults" go somewhere else for fine cuisine. You have your market. Don't mess with a good thing.
4) Polaroid Instant Film
I don't know about you, but I hated taking a Polaroid picture and then standing around shaking the picture waiting to see how it came out. That was just plain annoying.
So, with that image in my head, it's no surprise that the "instant film" product didn't pan out. It doesn't sound like a fair association. But it wasn't just a result of that. The failure of Polaroid Instant Film was also due to the emergence of digital photography.
5) Levi's Type 1 Jeans
This was quite the marketing blunder. A commercial for these jeans aired a few years ago during the Super Bowl, and it sort of missed the mark. Look at the picture (from the commercial) on the right. Does the image of a guy covered in dirt and riding an out-of-control car rodeo style make you want to buy a pair of jeans?
I couldn't think of a more classic example of why you should let the market determine what kind of product you put out.
6) Ford Edsel
My parents were just children when the 1958 Edsel hit the market. I've read about a variety of reasons why this car tanked. Supposedly, the front of the vehicle was just plain ugly.
The name itself ("Edsel") didn't catch on. There was also something about a weird pricing strategy.
7) IBM PCjr
The IBM PCjr was IBM's first attempt at entering the market for inexpensive home-use personal computers. The problem? At $699, it was twice as expensive as the Atari 8-bit family computer and Commodore 64 computer.
Its keyboard was also a sore point. IBM used an infrared wireless chiclet keyboard, which was similar to that of a pocket calculator. It had wide spaces between keys to leave room for instructional overlays bundled with software packages. Consumers thought it felt cheap and made it difficult to type on. It only had 62 keys, and it lacked the numeric keypad and separate function keys of the original IBM PC. IBM eventually replaced it for free with a different wireless keyboard with more conventional keys.
8) Sony Betamax
My father-in-law has a whole collection of beta tapes. In 1975, this product was a breakthrough. But it just didn't catch on. Betamax was the big fish in the small pool at first, but VHS eventually won the war with humility and smart engineering and pricing.
This fierce format war pitted Sony and its attempt to dictate an industry standard against JVC and its gutsy decision to develop its own technology. The result was the emergence of VHS and control of 70% of the North American market. By 1984, over 40 companies decided to use a VCR-compatible format. In addition, VHS camcorders were more affordable. Betamax was long gone by 1988.
9) Apple Lisa
The Lisa was an amazing computer. It was the first one to use a GUI and a mouse. But $10,000 was too much of a price tag. If you make a phenomenal product, but price consumers out of it, it's still a failure.
10) Apple Pippin
Unfortunately, Apple is rounding out this list. (Two more Apple products after this one.) The Pippin was voted one of the 25 worst tech products of all time. To this day, we don't know what the Pippin really was. Was it a computer . . . or a gaming console? It was oddly shaped, and it wasn't all that great at being a computer . . . or a gaming console.
Moreover, giving this identity confusion, at $599, it was affordable as a computer, but it was way too expensive as a gaming console. And, unfortunately, most people thought it was a gaming console. Look at it. It's a gaming console, right??
You can probably guess that the Pippin lost big to the likes of Nintendo, Sony, and Sega.
11) Macintosh Portable
Lesson #1 in product creation: If you're going to give a product a certain label, make sure the label FITS the product.
If you're going to call something "portable," make sure the freakin' thing is portable!!
Does that clunkfest on the left look portable to you? Heck no. This computer lasted two years.
12) Macintosh TV
Computer/TV integration. Great idea, right? It certainly was. The problem was, I think, that technology wasn't quite ready to produce something like this in 1993. People didn't watch TV on 14-inch screens then; instead, they were buying 40- and 50-inch TVs. So why buy one of these when you already had a television set
that was bigger and looked better.
Moreover, it just doesn't look any different than a regular PC.
Only now is the market finally inching closer and closer to computer/TV integration. (flimjo.com)

even greater — and what I said in that forum was that I was absolutely committed to making sure that we got entitlement reform done.
The mechanism by which we do it I think is going to have to be determined by you, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner and the members of Congress. We've got to make certain that the various committees are comfortable with how we move forward.
But the important point that I want to emphasize today is that on Medicare and Medicaid, in particular — which everybody here understands is the 800-pound gorilla — I don't see us being able to get an effective reform package around those entitlements without fixing the underlying problem of health care inflation. If we've got 6, 7, 8 percent health care inflation we could fix Medicare and Medicaid temporarily for a couple of years, but we would be back in the same fix 10 years from now. And so our most urgent task is to drive down costs both on the private side and on the public side, because Medicare and Medicaid costs have actually gone up fairly comparably to what's been happening in the private sector what businesses and families and others have been doing. That's why I think it's so important for us to focus on costs as part of this overall reform package.
With respect to Social Security, I actually think it's easier than Medicare and Medicaid, and as a consequence, I'm going to be interested in working with you. And I know that others like Senator Durbin, Lindsay Graham have already begun discussions about what the best mechanisms would be. I remain committed to that task.
But if we don't tackle health care, then we're going to break the bank. I think that's true at the federal level, I think it's true at the state level. It's certainly true for businesses and it's certainly true for families, okay.
Henry, do you want to just give a little feedback in terms of what you heard, and any points you'd like to make?
REPRESENTATIVE WAXMAN: Thank you very much, Mr. President. Let me just say that Senator Kennedy will not be a foot soldier in this battle. He has been the inspiration to all of us, all Americans who held out the dream that every American ought to have affordable, quality health care. And I want to salute him for that. (Applause.)
Mr. President, by bringing people together — with different stakeholders and the people representing different interest groups and Democrats and the Republicans, all of us together — I think you've given us an opportunity not to insist that we get all that we want, but to realize that we're part of a process; and that we if don't get everything we want, the alternative is not to do nothing, as you pointed out earlier, but to make sure that we've got the best system we can develop. And that has to be a system that includes all Americans in health insurance that they'll be able to

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — It's a new battle in the fight over same-sex marriage in Oregon.
Local human rights groups are fighting an initiative that would give businesses the right to deny service to customers based on their sexual orientation.
A campaign called Oregon United Against Discrimination said the Oregon Family Council's petition for a "Protect Religious Freedom" bill is discriminatory.
If passed by voters, the bill would allow businesses the right to refuse same sex weddings.
"Now we have this threat coming forward that really reminds us of 20 years of anti-gay ballot measures that we have seen in this state," said Basic Rights Oregon spokeswoman Jeana Frazzini.
May 14, a judge will rule on Oregon's same-sex marriage ban
Oregon Family Council has two months to gather 87,000 signatures to put the measure on the November ballot.

NCBA Launches Robust Spring Roundup Membership Drive
DENVER – This year, the U.S. Congress will address many legislative issues that directly affect cattlemen's bottom line – including property rights and environmental regulations. "The industry needs a stronger voice that represents the forceful, unified influence of America's beef producers," said Forrest Roberts, NCBA's chief executive officer, when announcing the new "Spring Roundup" membership campaign.
"NCBA intends this intensive drive to significantly expand its 31,000-member producer base, grow its state affiliates' member base, and strengthen the state-national membership position as a political force to be reckoned with—in state and federal legislatures," Roberts added. "The old adage, that there is 'strength in numbers' has never been truer as the industry continues to be bombarded with challenges to the agricultural way of life."
"As an industry, we need to come together and get serious about defending ourselves and our way of life. Many extreme advocacy groups have millions of members and millions of dollars. They will ensure their viewpoints are front and center with lawmakers," Roberts said. "NCBA has a solid membership base and can claim many legislative and regulatory victories, but to continue that success, we need to strengthen and solidify our sphere of influence."
"History tells us that we achieve amazing success when we come together as a collective voice for our members, as a strong association representing tens of thousands of cattlemen," Roberts said. "Keeping the government from excessively regulating your operation or enacting policies that could hurt your ability to do business profitably is what NCBA has been doing for more than 100 years."
During this membership drive, NCBA will partner with its 47 affiliates to increase membership within state organizations at the grassroots level, too. The campaign has a strong producer-to-producer recruitment component and will offer a variety of valuable recruiter incentives. Producers who join during March and April 2009, will earn special benefits, including a free trial membership to Cattle-Fax ($50 value) and a 500 mL bottle of Cydectin ($60 value), in addition to gift items from John Deere.
For complete information on the campaign, member dues/benefits and recruitment incentives, visit www.beefusa.org and click on the Spring Member Drive button, or call 866-BEEFUSA or 866-233-3872.

Twins reportedly to host All-Star Game in 2014
Twins reportedly to host All-Star Game in 2014
The Minneapolis Star Tribune first reported the announcement will be that the Twins will host the 2014 All-Star Game at Target Field, but it hasn't been officially confirmed by the Twins or MLB.
Commissioner Bud Selig is scheduled to be at the press conference, along with Twins owner Jim Pohlad, team president Dave St. Peter, Minneapolis mayor R.T. Rybak and Hall of Famer Rod Carew.
If the Twins do host the 2014 Midsummer Classic, it will be the first time since 1985, when it was held at the Metrodome. Minnesota also hosted the event in 1965 at old Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minn.
"It'd be great," said catcher Joe Mauer, who grew up locally in St. Paul and has played in five All-Star Games. "It'd be fun to be a part of it and see the excitement that goes on with it. So it would be pretty special. I know fans here would really appreciate it."
The Twins have been working on bringing the All-Star Game back to the Twin Cities since 2008, and they could finally get that chance in '14 after the Mets host it next year at Citi Field.
"They say that this is one of, if not the best park in the big leagues," third baseman Trevor Plouffe said of Target Field, which opened in 2010. "I haven't been everywhere, but I have been to a lot of places and I have to agree with that. This is a great baseball city and a great stadium. I think that Minnesota would be a great place for the All-Star Game."

Tina Kyprios announces candidacy for District 2 commissioner
February 9, 2012
Steamboat Springs — West Steamboat resident Tina Kyprios confirmed Thursday that she is in the process of filing the necessary paperwork to run as a Republican challenger to incumbent Routt County District 2 Commissioner Doug Monger in the fall election.
Monger is a Democrat who ranches east of Hayden and was elected to his post in 2000.
Kyprios is a former Army captain who served on active duty and in the Army Reserve, where her last job was as a company commander for a Military Police Basic Training unit.
She was licensed as a certified public accountant in Maryland and worked for the Army Audit Agency.
"As an auditor, the key aspect of my job was to learn programs quickly in order to be able to speak to their effectiveness and financial soundness," she said.
Kyprios moved here in 2001. She lives in West End Village and runs a small consulting business. Kyprios describes herself as a political newcomer and said she decided to run out of a conviction that accountability is part of the democratic system of government.

"That's not a criticism of Doug," she said. "But he was running unopposed, and I think our system requires a challenge."
"I am committed to listening objectively to all sides of every issue and to applying conservative principles to each situation confronting our valley," Kyprios said. "If elected, I will do all in my power to preserve the strong heritage of Routt County while at the same time helping us to move forward into a sustainable future."

The Lahore High Court on Monday asked former PML-N MPA Shumaila Rana to file a brief fact sheet till March 29 in her petition for restoration of her Punjab Assembly seat.
Justice Umar Ata Bandial passed the order while hearing Rana's petition against her disqualification from the provincial assembly. She had named the Punjab Assembly speaker and several PML-N leaders as respondents in the petition.
She had alleged that a false case was registered against her on July 12, 2009 when she was an MPA.
After registration of the FIR, she said, she and her family were threatened by some of the PML-N members who forced her to resign from the seat.
She said that the PML-N members pressured her to submit her resignation. She said due to immense pressure, she signed it on July 24, 2009. She said the letter was submitted to the Punjab Assembly speaker who forwarded it to the Punjab Assembly secretary.
She said that a trial court had acquitted her on March 1, 2010.
She contended that the speaker and the secretary violated Rule 35 of the assembly procedure, whereby, she said, it was the duty of the speaker to inquire about the resignation before accepting it. She said no such inquiry was ordered. She requested the court to set aside the impugned notification and restore her membership.

Young scientist explains video game her team created 'for the blind'
A VIDEO game for the blind has been created by a clever science student who cares about the visually impaired.
"Basically we made a video game that was done through sound," said Caoimhe Kelly (15).
''It's the layout of our school and when a new student that is visually impaired comes to our school we could give this to them before they come to the school,'' she added.
The student from Moate Community College in Westmeath designed the game, alongside team mate Thomas Maguire, so a blind pupil in the school could figure out the basic layout and the design of the school.
''When they come in through the entrance when they're playing the game, they use the arrow keys to move and when you've come to a certain room it will come up that you've reached the science room,'' she explained.
The unusual game can help blind students to locate where the various room are in their school and make their transition into secondary school much easier.
''They would have a general idea of the outline of our school before they come in,'' the student added.
''You don't need a visual aid to actually play the game, you listen to it and it will tell you which room you're after reaching,'' she said.
The game displays a green background with the map of the school and the various locations of each classroom.

Alabama needed it all to win the toughest national title game it had ever played during the Nick Saban dynasty. All of its power. All of its speed.
Even one gutsy trick.
Derrick Henry, O.J. Howard and Kenyan Drake hit No. 1 Clemson with long touchdowns, and Alabama outlasted the dynamic play of dual-threat quarterback Deshaun Watson to win the College Football Playoff championship 45-40 on Monday night.
The Crimson Tide (14-1) won its three previous championship game appearances in runaway fashion. This game was an instant classic — a welcome relief for fans who sat through the blowouts that turned the New Year's Six lineup into a dud. It finally turned on maybe the boldest call of Saban's career.
"This was a great challenge for us," Saban said.
With 10:34 left in the fourth quarter and Alabama having just tied the game with a short field goal, Saban took a gamble to try to keep the ball away from Watson and the Tigers. He called for a popup onside kick that Alabama defensive back Marlon Humphrey caught over the shoulder at midfield.
Tide ball.
"I think that changed the momentum of the game, and our guys finished it," Saban said.
Lost track of Howard
Moments later, Alabama took back the lead. For the second time, Clemson (14-1) lost track of the tight end Howard in coverage and Jake Coker hit him in stride deep for a 51-yard touchdown to make it 31-24 with 9:45 left.
Clemson and Watson proved to be every bit Alabama's equal. The Tigers just kept coming.
Watson led Clemson to a field goal to make it 31-27, and boom! Another Alabama big play. Drake broke free and streaked down the sideline for a 95-yard kickoff return touchdown, diving the last 5 yards to the pylon.
Watson threw his third touchdown pass to make it 38-33 with 4:40 left, and then Alabama went back to its workhorse Heisman Trophy winner. Derrick Henry plunged into the end zone for his third touchdown of the game to make it 45-33 with 1:07 left.
Watson threw another touchdown pass, but would not get another chance. Clemson's onside kick went out of bounds. Coker took a knee and after a two-year drought that felt like eternity in Tuscaloosa, Alabama was back on top.
The Crimson Tide became the second team in college football's poll era, dating back to 1936, to win four titles in seven seasons.
5th national title for Saban
Alabama joins Notre Dame, which won four titles from 1943-49. For Saban, it is his fifth national championship — four in his nine seasons at Alabama — leaving him only one short of former Tide coach Bear Bryant for the most titles in history.
Watson gave the Tide all it could handle, throwing for 405 yards and four touchdowns, and conjuring up memories of Vince Young's miraculous performance for Texas in the 2006 Rose Bowl that derailed Southern California's dynasty.
The sophomore, who finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, had 478 total yards against a loaded Tide defense that was the toughest in the country and bested Young's 467 yards against the Trojans. But Watson couldn't finish the job the way Young did in Pasadena, California.
Instead, Saban and the Tide raised another trophy, its first in this new playoff system, and got another confetti shower. It is the Tide's 10th national title in the poll era, more than any other school.
The Tide hit Clemson early with Henry, who scored the game's first touchdown on a 50-yard burst through the middle. He finished with 158 yards on 36 carries. Howard was the offensive player of the game with five catches for 208 yards, including a 63-yarder that set up Alabama's final score.
After Watson and walk-on Hunter Renfrow hooked up for two touchdown passes to give Clemson a 14-7 lead at the end of the first quarter, Henry tied it up with a 1-yard plunge.
Back and forth it went.
Throughout Alabama's unprecedented run under Saban, the Tide was hardly challenged in a championship game. Alabama pulled away from Texas for Saban's first Tide title. Alabama blanked LSU for No. 2 and crushed Notre Dame to repeat.
Trying to become the first FBS team to go 15-0, Clemson did not crumble under the force of Alabama's might. But all those five-star recruits and future NFL players that dot the Alabama roster showed they also have plenty of resiliency and toughness. And Saban, the quintessential CEO coach, showed he had a little riverboat gambler in him.
That onside kicked stunned the stadium and Clemson, and brought a big grin to the face of the country's most serious coach.

Homeless? No Soup For You!
"Cities are cracking down on charities that feed the homeless, adopting rules that restrict food giveaways to certain locations, require charities to get permits or limit the number of free meals they can provide.
Orlando, Dallas, Las Vegas and Wilmington, N.C., began enforcing such laws last year. Some are being challenged.
Last November, a federal judge blocked the Las Vegas law banning food giveaways to the poor in city parks. In Dallas, two ministries are suing, arguing that the law violates religious freedom.
City officials say the rules were prompted by complaints about crime and food safety. Some say they want control over locations so homeless people can also get services such as addiction counseling and job training."

MAMMOTH LAKES, Calif., April 9 (UPI) -- Professional snowboarder Chelone Miller, younger brother of Olympic skier Bode Miller, was found dead in his van in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., authorities said.
On Sunday afternoon Miller, 29, was discovered in the van in which he lived by a friend, who notified police. The Mono County Sheriff's Office confirmed the death Monday, saying the cause of death is unknown, pending autopsy, but foul play is not suspected.
Miller had a history of seizures after a 2005 motorcycle accident left him in a coma for 11 days. He recently took steps to qualify for the U.S. Olympics team in snowboardcross, ESPN reported.

I had an enjoyable conversation the other day about the challenge of writing music that's about triviality and superficiality, but is neither trivial nor superficial. Unfortunately, the court of last resort for deciding whether a piece really is the thing it purports to address seems too often to be the composer's biography. If I want to know whether the Diane Warren quote I just heard is an earnest tribute to the master or a merciless skewering of assembly-line songcraft, all I have to do is see if, where, and with whom the composer studied, which awards he or she has or has not received, etc., and I feel I can render my judgment with smug confidence. Obviously this is grossly unfair, but be honest: When you learn that whoever wrote the jaunty rag you just heard apprenticed under Clarence Barlow or Cornelius Cardew, you have to consider the possibility of irony a bit more seriously. Debussy broadcasts pretty clearly that his Wagner reference in "Golliwogg's Cakewalk" is satire, but would we know that if we weren't familiar with the ponderous prominence of Tristan und Isolde in the musical culture that socialized him?
Although I'm not dealing in Diane Warren quotes per se, the piece I'm hip-deep in right now is sort of ridiculous. But does that mean that it will be ridiculed? I have to accept that it might, and I don't want to rely on my bio for the wink and nudge that assure listeners I don't really mean what my music seems to be saying. So how, materially, do you make your intentions clear? I have a few ideas, but it's impossible to know whether they'll work. I suppose that's why they call it experimental music.

Dallas' First Baptist Church pastor implies that Tim Tebow is a wimp for canceling
The reaction to Tim Tebow's cancellation of a speaking event at Dallas' First Baptist Church continues to generate a wide range of reaction in readers.
The reaction from the church's pastor seemed benign, until Sunday.
In a 10-minute speech, which the church made available on YouTube, Jeffress addresses the attention he had received in the past week without mentioning Tebow by name. But he strongly rebukes those who didn't stand by him (about 7:23 into the speech).
"I am grateful for men of God like these who are willing to stand up and act like men rather than wimping out when it gets a little controversial and an inconvenient thing to stand for the truth," Jeffress said, as transcribed by USAToday. "God bless men like that.
"There are some people who would say 'God's given me a different ministry. God has called me to go preach about the love of God. I'm not called to preach about sin and controversial things. I've been called to preach about the love of God. And they're sincere when they say that. But they are sincerely wrong. The fact is you cannot talk about the love of God. The love of God has no meaning whatsoever unless you understand the judgment of God that all of us deserve."
Tebow canceled the speech, apparently because of controversial statements that Jeffresshas made about Mormonism, Catholicism and other faiths as well as homosexuality.
Jeffress, who often makes headlines for his sharp-edged pronouncements on morality and politics, said Tebow appeared to struggle with his decision before finally giving in to the recommendations of others.
"There doesn't seem to be any daylight between what we believe," Jeffress said last week, noting that Tebow is a member of First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Fla. "He simply attributed it to needing to stay away from controversy."
Jeffress said the quarterback, who gained fame for his expressive faith and electric but inconsistent performance in Denver in 2011, didn't explain why he needed to avoid controversy. But Jeffress said his presumption was it was related to the likelihood of Tebow moving to a new team.

Expanding the Reach of Lead Identification
When looking for the most promising leads, or compounds worth developing, drug researchers always seek new tools and techniques that enhance the odds of finding a marketable compound as soon as possible. Likewise, these researchers want to eliminate—also as early as possible—any compounds that will be ineffective or, even worse, toxic. Often, lead identification involves various forms of high-throughput screening, but other approaches also exist, and these cover a range of levels from mathematical models and crystallography to protein fragments and cells. In fact, the most effective approach to identifying the best lead compounds should include a variety of tools and techniques.
The 'omics advances of the past decade or so give drug researchers more to explore, but these advances can also complicate the task. As Milind Deshpande, PhD, president of research and development and chief scientific officer at Achillion Pharmaceuticals (New Haven, Conn.), explains: "The targets are more complex. The biology is more complex."
Consequently, researchers need a better idea of how a specific target fits into healthy and diseased human physiology. To uncover this information, drug researchers use a collection of technologies to identify the most promising leads.
The key challenges
Part of the complexity comes from exploring a wider range of targets. "Some of them don't even have any precedents," says Deshpande. Beyond the targets, researchers want to identify leads that will succeed downstream. That requires understanding the target's biological and chemical features, as well as how the compound might affect those characteristics and downstream ones that could also be affected. Not surprisingly, Deshpande adds, "Understanding the downstream biological issues has become more complex."
Even at the target, biology can get complicated. For example, Brian Huber, PhD, vice president, drug development partnerships at Quintiles (Research Triangle Park, N.C.), says, "Some biological targets, like kinases, are very druggable, and you can find a lead series of molecules that would interact with that target." Yet, some target classes, like specific classes of proteases and nuclear receptors, are only somewhat druggable, according to Huber.
Huber also points out some of the chemical challenges in lead identification. When describing a library of potential compounds stored in multiwell plates, Huber says, "What you think is the chemistry in a given well is probably not the chemistry." He notes that the breakdown products and other factors change the chemistry in a well. So instead of managing large libraries that evolve into the unknown, Huber suggests turning to smaller, smarter libraries. "Maybe we should get more focused," he says.
To keep track of so much information, companies can apply tools like SAS Data Integration from SAS (Cary, N.C.). This software provides access to data across a company. Moreover, SAS also helps researchers visualize data, which can reveal more of the features of the compounds being considered as leads.
A two-pronged approach
At Achillion, Deshpande says that they've taken two approaches to lead identification. He calls the first chemical genomics. For that, scientists start with a selected set of compounds and test them against a virus or pathogen. "Starting off, you don't know which target you will go after," he says. This work often involves cell-based assays.
Achillion might also start with a structure-based approach. "In this case," says Deshpande, "we would know the target we are pursuing." As an example, he describes work on an antibacterial where his company went after the enzymes involved in DNA replication.
As he explains: "We knew the enzymes that we wanted to target and we used three-dimensional information—from x-ray crystallography—about them to synthesize leads that displayed potency as well as the specificity that one likes to engineer in the early stages of lead discovery and optimization."
Building a toolbox
When asked what technologies Roche (Nutley, N.J.) uses for lead identification, Karen Lackey, vice president and head of medicinal chemistry, mentions several. First, she says that traditional high-throughput screening methods are "definitely fruitful." She adds, "We find fragment-based drug discovery very valuable." In addition, Roche scientists use structure-based drug design. "This is a very integrated approach that depends on the crystallographers and computational chemists," she says.
To develop even more tools, Roche sometimes reaches out to other companies. Roche uses a proprietary platform from X-Chem (Cambridge, Mass.) to search for leads against therapeutic targets. "This technology involves DNA-encoded libraries," Lackey explains.
Thinking over all of these lead-identification technologies used at Roche, Lackey says, "We have a toolbox of methods."
Developing such a toolbox generates options for every project. "We can customize each project so that we find leads in the most effective manner," Lackey says. For example, high-throughout methods help researchers to quickly explore many compounds, and computational methods can be used to explore fewer compounds, but in more detail.
Even within one technology, Roche scientists keep looking for ways to improve it. For fragment-based technology, for instance, Roche recently gathered a group of the company's experts as well as scientists from outside the company. "They reviewed all of the fragment-based drug discovery techniques and came up with a prioritized list for using them at Roche," says Lackey. "That helps us review lessons learned, challenges overcome, and it also broadens our opportunities to use these technologies."
Consequently, the most effective lead identification can take more than combining tools. It also helps to collect a group of expert opinions.
Smarter identification
When Huber suggested more focus—getting smarter about the compounds in a library and using less of them—he had some specific ideas in mind. "Before you pick up a test-tube, we can help you pick a target-product profile that will be embraced in the clinical arena and be a commercial winner." He adds that finding such a target-product profile depends on finding something that patients want, regulators will approve, physicians will prescribe, and payers will reimburse.
Getting smarter in lead identification also involves a new look at numbers. As Woody Sherman, PhD, vice president, applications science at Schrödinger (New York, N.Y.), says, "Getting leads is generally not the biggest challenge. It's getting suitable leads with promising potential for affinity optimization and good ADME/Tox properties that is hard."
To more efficiently sort the promising leads from the duds, an increasing number of drug researchers include computational tools in the mix. This includes structure-based approaches like docking, ligand-based approaches like pharmacophore modeling, shape-based screening, cheminformatics, and more. "By using a combination of these tools," says Sherman, "you'll find the most diverse and interesting leads." He adds, "The computational results can help reduce the hit list to the most promising compounds to pursue."
To give researchers a collection of software tools, Schrödinger has a complete suite of structure-based, ligand-based, cheminformatic, and visualization tools. This suite includes Glide for docking, Prime for protein structure prediction, Phase for pharmacophore modeling, and Canvas for cheminformatics.
The computational approaches can also go beyond binding activity to assess what really makes a good lead, since off-target selectivity is often an issue. Sherman says, "There have been recent advances in structural modeling of important ADME/Tox targets, like hERG, P450s, P-glycoprotein, et cetera, so you can throw out compounds early in the game and focus on the most promising drug candidates as quickly as possible. Furthermore, structural insights from docking to off-targets can help guide the design process so potential liabilities in lead compounds can be fixed."
However, in filtering compounds, drug researchers must be careful. "It's easy to throw away a lot of compounds," Sherman says, "but you want to make sure that you're not throwing out the most promising ones." He believes that the best computational tools can effectively eliminate most of the compounds with liabilities while still retaining the good ones.
Tomorrow's wish list
For Deshpande, he knows exactly what he wants to improve lead identification. He says, "I would like to have tools that help me understand the biology better."
Still, even today's tools give reason for hope. "The good news is that we have opportunities to go after very novel approaches for treatments of very complicated diseases," says Deshpande, "and that's a direct outcome of the 'omics era." He adds, "The challenge for us is: How do you use that information in designing compounds for lead identification?"
Lackey also holds high hopes for future capabilities in lead identification. For one thing, she'd like to see some breakthroughs in identifying targets from phenotypic screens. Second, she hopes that tomorrow's technology will also allow multiplexed screening in more natural conditions. "What happens in high-throughout screening is not always relevant to what happens in the body," she says. "So we need primary assays that are closer to physiological conditions."
To find tomorrow's most effective and safe drugs, researchers seek the most realistic approaches. Developing that overall perception, however, requires exploring compounds and targets from various perspectives.

|Reviews for Proxy
| Skylark360 chapter 1 . 12/8/2012
So I decided to slog through the backlog of Code Geass fanfiction, and I find this.
This is actually a very interesting concept I never would have thought of before. Euphie as Zero. Even though the reviews are a few years old, I still agree with them.
I would like to see this expanded upon, if possible. What of Suzaku and Cornelia in this reality? Does Kallen know? And what of Schneizel? If he doesn't know, that would certainly make the attempted betrayal by the Black Knights that much more awkward. :P
| 0208 chapter 1 . 12/30/2009
i have been rereading this countless time and its sipmly great but i sudenly have idea how coud you continue this story. Lelouch dead or half dead body i broth before emperor and whit VV and geass order brings it back alive(meaby stronger to) but only his momory is difrent/rewriten and he serves Empire now as one of leading generals. How story unfolds well it can go several ways in my head there are several ways but its up to you since its your story.
How he apears it coud be in one of battles of Black Knights between Britannia and asking who is leader he names and show himself to world.
If you want i can type up something but since i have several exams soon i wont be able to do it till end of january.
| RiseofaRebellion chapter 1 . 12/19/2009
wow euphy is creepy in this one but i enjoyed it never the less
| Crispy Rice chapter 1 . 7/13/2009
It kind of gives me chills to think Euphie would do that. I'd think she would freak out
and then ... insert dramatic Sunrise plot twist.
Chest bindings? Good lord isn't she like double G or something?
Hehe .. well that lightened the mood a little for me.
This prompt definitely left me thinking.
| Diana Prince chapter 1 . 7/4/2009
Interesting theory I am looking forward to how this will play out. Who knew Euphy had it in her for this kind of work. Good luck in the writing of this neat story.
| The Renegade Argonaut chapter 1 . 7/3/2009
interesting i like it. It would be great to see more decisions form Euphemia's perspective
| Anthemia chapter 1 . 7/3/2009
Cool. I would have never thought of a 'Euphie-as-Zero' storyline. Great concept! you should keep it going
| Shield-Wolf2426 chapter 1 . 7/3/2009
I think it would be one hell of a story. Euphy as the great Zero, that is very interesting. I don't have much to say other then I really liked it and I'm anxious to read more.
| Diamond Mask chapter 1 . 7/3/2009
Interesting... very interesting. A Euphemia-as-Zero is a new perspective on the Code Geass fandom, and I would like to see how it develops (if you intend on doing that). I got the feeling though, when Euphie said, "right, Lelouch" and she was looking at the mask, that she was schitzophrenic. Well, the way she was talking, it felt that way to me.
Perhaps Euphie found her own kind of insanity after his death by her hand - I don't see how Euphie could accept the burdens of Zero any other way. No matter what she is faced with, and without the influence of the geass, I don't think she could bring herself to act with the ruthlessness that Zero commands. So, I think she would have to partly lose her mind in order to do so -which I felt was a little implied with "a slow, bizarre smile".
Still, it was a nice piece of work. Though I wonder how Euphie would have garnered CC's support, without making a contract and claiming a geass in Lelouch's place. And how she would be able to command the Black Knights, without Lelouch's tactical genuis. Eh, I'm probably reading too much into this. This is just how I feel this would have unfolded.
| Legendary Chimera chapter 1 . 7/3/2009
I definitely liked your Euphie perspective. The descriptions of the corset-like contraption made me go "Ouch!". It really sucks being a girl sometime. Lol, I'm surprised the boys haven't tried to access the girls' only security cameras.
| Axel's Ashes chapter 1 . 7/3/2009
Interesting! That's an idea that would be interesting to see more in-depth. Euphy as Zero sounds awesome xD
