In the last year or so, Scrum has become very popular and people are trying to apply it left and right. I don't know if it is Scrum but the number of projects that are trying to use agile methodology have exploded in the last one or two years. And there is a problem with this. Many projects that "start being agile" are not agile at all.
For example: imagine you're working on a project where you used to develop for 4 months and then test for 2 months and then prepare a release for one month. Your boss have heard that agile increases productivity and you start having 3 week iterations; 2 weeks of development, one week of test and prepare a release for one week. Instantly you see productivity drop 50%. And the reason is that you have just chopped up your regular work in smaller chunks and the productivity feels like it drops because you now do 3 weeks of work in 5 weeks.
The problem with agile is that you need to understand it fully before you can implement it correctly. And this applies to the large picture (Scrum, XP) and the small picture (TDD, Daily stand-ups) - if you do not understand the purpose, you will probably do it wrong. Agile methods like Scrum will act as an catalyst helping you understand what all the building blocks are but you will still need to understand the purpose in order to be successful.
Then we have another problem; Agile methods, especially when applied as a bundled concept like Scrum may not fit every organization. For example I heard that one company I've previously helped start using Scrum (and I think I was successful since more and more of their development teams are using Scrum even without my help) are now trying to apply Scrum to the marketing team. I'm sure their marketing team will have benefit from some of the parts suggested in Scrum but if they try to force all their work into a Scrum-like cycle I think they will need a really, really good coach to get it right.
Yet another problem with applying agile is that it will probably be a big change in how you work and I know many developers who don't like change. These developers will try to resist and see all the problems with the new methodology and you will be working upstream in order to get them aboard. And I think there is an easier way to do it.
So where do I start?
There are several books you can read in order to prepare your self and try to not fall into the same pits as everyone else before you. Think that will be a future post... I have come to the conclusion that applying agile in small steps are probably the easiest way to do it. If you're going to apply agile in tiny steps I think this is the way to do it:
- 1. Start having daily stand up meetings!
- I think this is the most important thing you should do, especially when you consider the cost against the positive effects of daily stand-up meetings. Communication is the key to success regardless of if you're developing games or building cars.
- 2. Respect the retrospects!
- The retrospect is the time after each iteration where the team sits down and talks about what went well and what went less well in the last iteration. Things that can be improved are discussed and a plan to improve is put into place. If you have many problems (as many teams think they have in the beginning of their agile journey) you should concentrate on the top two or three problems the team perceives. Also remember to respect the outcome of these meetings! If the team perceives something as a top problem - management must let the team try to remove that problem.
Thats it... If you do those two things correctly you will successfully implement agile into your team. If you think my list is to short you can always look at this Scrum checklist. But what about iterations? I mentioned that you should have retrospects after each iteration but that is not on the list... Well iterations are not needed to have retrospects. Just have your retrospects at a regular interval and I suggest no more than four weeks apart in the beginning. The longer the period between the retrospects the more problems will the team see and the slower change will be because after each retrospect the process used by the team will improve. If you want really quick changes in the process you should have a retrospect each week. Also iterations gives you the power of closure which should not be forgotten but if I have to choose between iterations and daily stand-ups or retrospects - iterations come in last. Also there is no point in making the list any longer because the last item, respect retrospects will over time have you implement all other good things than are considered agile.
Finally I think there is one more thing you should do in order to quickly become successful with applying agile. Get a coach! Maybe that should be the only item on my list because everything else will come over time with help of a good coach. I did not put it on my two item list because I know many teams will not have the opportunity to hire a coach. But if your retrospective shows the team wants a coach - you should get one. If your organization does not allow you to hire an agile coach there are two other things you can do; Ask around on agile forums or get someone from outside the team come and listen to your daily stand-ups and retrospects. This person will look at the process from the outside and may in many cases come up with a few new ideas on how to improve that you have not yet thought about. This person from the outside may also say things that the team is afraid to say. This will also bring problems to the surface.
Preemptive comment: How does Microsoft do Agile? Well Microsoft Research have one report you can read. And I will also come back to this subject in later posts on this blog.

Apple didn't even get a chance to apply cold water to the area Nokia burned in the latest Lumia 2520 vs. iPad Air commercial, yet a trio of fresh ads taking multiple stabs at the newest Cupertino-made slate is already up on YouTube.
This time, the clips pit the iPad Air against Microsoft's Surface 2 and, as you can imagine, the Windows RT-powered slab comes out victorious. Unlike Nokia however, MS ditches humor and irony in favor of cold facts (or so they claim), pitched a little too seriously to, well, be taken seriously.
What exactly do I mean? For one thing, what's with the cooking ad? Is Microsoft actually suggesting a minor detail such as being able to use recipe apps hands-free should make a difference when deciding to go for one tab or the other?
Granted, the whole clip could be meant as a joke (it's definitely unintentionally funny), but if that's the case, the humor should have been easier to detect.
Oh, well, let's move on and hope things get better. And they do, with one particular video that makes a genuinely valid point. It's embedded below and, put simply, bashes the iPad Air for not sporting USB connectivity and requiring half a dozen extra adapters to come close to Surface's out-the-box productivity and functionality. Amen, MS, though once again, why so serious?
Finally, the "sharing with family" commercial is probably not as bad as the cooking material, but it's also fairly confusing. Not to mention it too focuses on details that are simply not so very important for the day-to-day user. Definitely not key enough to tip the balance one direction or the other. Who's with me? And please, pretty please, let's not start with the whole fanboy routine again.
To be clear, I'm not saying the iPad Air is better (or worse) than the Surface 2 (or Nokia Lumia 2520). It's just these three videos don't make a good enough case for Windows RT.

Visit time : 1 day.
An exceptional palace for an exceptional king, Louis XIV, the Palace of Versailles remains the emblem of French monarchy. And no word would be enough to define its magnificence, surrounded by sumptuous French gardens, groves and fountains, a canal, a park sufficiently large for hunting outings and of course, in contrast to this exceptional and unique ensemble, the bucolic grounds of Marie-Antoinette's Estate. And it is here at Versailles that the history of 17th and 18th century France was written.
World Heritage
The prestigious palace complex, including the Trianon palaces and the park of Versailles, is the result of a century and a half of work commissioned by the kings of France and entrusted to their greatest artists. The strongest impression was of course left by Louis XIV, who decided on the expansion of the small existing castle of brick and stone, built in 1624 by his father, Louis XIII. The first additions occurred after 1661 under the direction of Louis Le Vau, in a dominant Italian style. André Le Nôtre would design the gardens, which were soon to be famous throughout Europe.
Versailles was considerably enlarged and radically changed after 1678, by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, who was able to impose a sober, colossal (the Palace of Versailles was developed next to the gardens at a length of 670 meters), homogeneous and majestic architectural style, now inseparable from the memory of the Sun King. The famous Hall of Mirrors between the War and Peace Salons, is the masterpiece of the classicist and typically French design, known more recently as the Louis XIV style. The Orangerie and the Grand Trianon are also the work of Hardouin-Mansart, who was assisted by Robert de Cotte for the Royal Chapel. The creations of Versailles from the 18th century are among the most perfect and most famous achievements of the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles : the Petit Trianon by Jacques Ange Gabriel in 1751, the decoration of Louis XV's apartments by Verbeckt and Rousseau, and Marie-Antoinette's apartments and hamlet by Richard Mique.
The classified area, introduced in 1979, includes the palace, the Grand and Petit Trianons and the park.
Criteria for selection
Criterion (i) : The ensemble of the palace and park of Versailles is a unique artistic achievement in its scale, quality and originality.
Criterion (ii) : Versailles has had considerable influence in Europe from the late 17th and 18th centuries. Wren used Versailles as inspiration at Hampton Court, Schlüter in Berlin, in designing the façades of the Royal Palace. Small versions of Versailles popped up everywhere in Europe. The gardens of Le Nôtre, designed by the architect himself or by his imitators, are too numerous to count : from Windsor at Cassel, to Sweden, Denmark, Russia ...
Criterion (vi) : The Palace of Versailles was the most appropriate, best-suited environment for the life of the court of France for a century and a half. It was during this time that Louis XIV perfected his code of courtly behavior – "etiquette". However, it was also where the people of Paris captured Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette on October 6, 1789.

As a child, Louis XIII came to what are now the grounds of the palace with his father, Henry IV, to hunt in the forest. These fond memories prompted him to build a hunting lodge on the site in 1624. Through the acquisition of the manor of Versailles in 1631, he expanded his home during the following years. Louis XIII died in 1643.
From the 1660s onward, the young Louis XIV decided to settle there. To do this, he commissioned enormous works from his first architect, Louis Le Vau, which would last almost 40 years. The King did not want to demolish the structures built by his father, and from 1668 Le Vau built the so-called "envelope" of the oldest buildings located around the marble courtyard, in the heart of the palace. It includes the royal apartments and the reception rooms where the official life of royalty proceeded. The building was made in stone, its architecture inspired by an Italian style that was very fashionable and innovative at the time. Charles Le Brun undertook the interior decoration of the rooms. In addition to work on the expansion of the palace, the gardens were designed and assembled by André Le Nôtre. The wetlands were drained, the Grand Canal was created, and a huge network of water supply consisting of pipes and aqueducts was installed to irrigate the gardens and feed the hundreds of fountains.
From 1678 onward, a second round of works was initiated. The King decided to make Versailles the seat of his government. Jules Hardouin-Mansart became the First Architect of the King, and took over from Louis Le Vau. The north and south wings and the outbuildings were constructed in order to accommodate the entire royal family and court, nearly 4,000 people! The King, his court and the government finally moved to Versailles in 1682 from the castle of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, even before the end of the expansion work. It was a revolution in the lifestyle of the royal family and the court, accustomed to moving from castle to castle throughout the year.
After entrusting the realization of the Hall of Mirrors to Jules Hardouin-Mansart, Louis XIV had him finish the Royal Chapel, five years before his death. Apart from the decorations and interior furnishings, most of the palace and gardens that can be visited today are the work of the Sun King and his architects.
Louis XIV died in 1715, and the future Louis XV was no older than five years old.At that time, he left Versailles to return to Paris, yet returned to the palace seven years later to complete the work of his grandfather.Louis XV entrusted his new achievements and developments to Jacques Ange Gabriel.Under his direction, the scenery became more refined (including the Small Apartments, the Opera, the Hercules Salon).In the gardens, he constructed the Petit Trianon next to the Grand Trianon built by Louis XIV.
During the reign of Louis XVI, the kingdom's finances were in bad shape, and the King was content to simply maintain and renovate the palace. But Marie-Antoinette, his wife, made arrangements with architect Richard Mique to build an estate and a Norman hamlet where she could relax away from the pomp of the court.
The French Revolution broke out in 1789. The Palace of Versailles, as the emblem of absolute monarchy, could have been seriously affected during this period, and though some furniture was displaced and the gardens were left to overgrow, in the end the palace suffered little damage. Three years later, in 1792, at the fall of the monarchy, the palace was abandoned and was never again to be the primary residence of France's rulers.
Napoleon I was particularly attracted by the Trianon palaces during his reign. He renovated and redecorated the interiors of the Grand Trianon, used as a spring home at the time, and left the Petit Trianon to be redesigned by his wife, the Empress Eugenie.
Louis XVIII brought some changes to the palace, but it was under the reign of Louis-Philippe, from 1830 onward, that the palace came back to life as a museum of the history of France, opened in 1837. Illustrating the history of France through 14 centuries (from the Middle Ages to the 19th century), the collections were constantly enriched, thanks particularly to the Revolutionary auctions of the time, which were rich with 18th-century furniture. Since the opening of the museum, the palace, park and gardens were gradually restored for visitors. As the symbol of royal absolutism and the embodiment of classical French art, today the palace welcomes four million visitors a year. The palace extends over 63,000 m2 and hosts 2,300 works of art, furniture, and artifacts.
The daily routine of the Sun King
The daily routine of Louis XIV was supposed to continue under the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI, but neither of them could bear this oppressive ceremonial. As often as possible, they took refuge in their private apartments or in the royal residences nearby. As the years passed, the Levées and Couchées were observed less and less frequently. And the courtiers complained that they never saw the King any more, much unlike during the time of Louis XIV.
The King's mornings
7:30-8 a.m. "Sire, it is time", the first Valet de Chambre awakens the King, and the First Levée begins. Doctors, familiars and a few favorites who enjoyed the privilege of the ceremony followed in succession into the bedchamber of the King who was washed, combed and shaved (every other day). The officers of the Chamber and the Wardrobe then entered for the Grande Levée during which the King was dressed and breakfasted on a bowl of broth. Only the most important personalities in the kingdom were admitted to observe this ritual. The number of attendants is estimated at around a hundred, all male.
10 a.m. : As they left the King's apartment, a procession formed in the Hall of Mirrors. Followed by his courtiers, the King crossed the whole breadth of the Grand Apartment. This was the moment when the crowd gathered along the passage of the royal cortège was at last able to catch a glimpse of the monarch. Some were even able to speak to him briefly or pass him a written request. The King sat in the tribune of the Royal Chapel to attend mass, for about thirty minutes.
11 a.m. : Back in his Apartment, the King held council in his cabinet. On Sundays and Wednesdays was the Council of State, Tuesdays and Saturdays were devoted to the Royal Council of Finances, and finally, on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays there might be an extra Council of State to replace a Dispatch Council (domestic affairs) or a Religious Council (religious affairs). On these same days, the King might also decide to examine the progress of the building programs. Five or six ministers worked with the monarch who spoke little, listened much and then made his decision.
1 p.m. : In his bedchamber, the King dined alone, sitting at a table facing the windows. This meal was in principle a private one but Louis XIV used to receive all the men of the Court, in general those present at the Levée.
His afternoons
2 p.m. : The King gave his orders announcing his intentions for the afternoon in the morning. If he wished for a promenade, it was in the gardens, either on foot or in a carriage with the ladies. If he chose to hunt, the favorite sport of all the Bourbons, it took place in the grounds when the King preferred to shoot, or in the surrounding woodland when he rode to hounds.
6 p.m. : Often Louis XIV let his son preside over the indoor entertainments, like the evenings in the apartments. Meanwhile, he would sign the many letters prepared by his secretary and then go to the apartments of Madame de Maintenon where he would study an important dossier aided by one of his four secretaries of State.
The evenings
10 p.m. : The crowd squeezed into the antechamber of the King's apartments to attend the Grand Public Supper. The King would sit at the table, surrounded by members of the royal family. At the end of the meal, the monarch walked through his bedroom and into the salon to salute the ladies of the court. Then he withdrew to his cabinet to converse more freely with his family and a few close acquaintances.
11:30 p.m. : The Couchée, a public ceremonial where the King withdrew to his bedroom, was a shortened version of the Levée.

The musée de l'Histoire de France
Website - tél : 01 30 83 78 00.
This history museum is dedicated to "all the glories of France."The 19th century was a particularly turbulent time for French politics. As a result, when Louis-Philippe came into power in 1830, he hoped not only to promote a message of reconciliation and national unity to help heal the divisions of French society, but also to establish his legitimacy as ruler. With this in mind, he created the Musée de l'Histoire de France (Museum of the History of France). After having been the residence of the kings of France, Versailles became a museum honoring its heroes.
The impressive collection spread among the many rooms offers visitors a chronological and thematic visit throughout the history of the country. Louis-Philippe brought together all of the paintings and sculptures relating to France's national history that could be found in the collections of the Royal Museums and made many purchases. In total, the more than 6,000 paintings and 3,000 sculptures made this museum the richest collection on the history of France. After his death, the collections continued to grow through acquisitions, bequests and donations of furniture and objects. Today it is simply the biggest and richest museum of the history of France (spanning across 14 centuries).
Some rooms in the museum, such as the Salle du Sacre (Sacre Room), the Salle de 1792 (1792 Room), the Galerie des Batailles (The Battles Gallery) and the Salle de 1830 (1830 Room) can be visited independently after the tour of the Grands Appartements.

A local entrepreneur, Saxe's business ventures included dealing scrap metal, owning a tannery, knitting needle firm and the first movie theatre in Acton. He was also founder and president of the Federation of Jewish Farmers of Ontario.

Editorial: Al Juhnke is the best choice for Dist. 13B
House District 13B voters face the choice on Nov. 2 between Democratic incumbent Al Juhnke and Republican challenger Bruce Vogel.
It is a choice between the DFL candidate with experience and leadership record versus the GOP candidate who says he is a fast learner and hard worker. Juhnke is the better choice in this race.
This district lies entirely within Kandiyohi County, including the southern two-thirds of the county. The district includes Willmar and the towns of Atwater, Blomkest, Lake Lillian, New London, Spicer, Pennock, Prinsburg and Raymond.
District 13 has diverse interests and needs across the spectrum of city and rural issues. A primary need is growing our agricultural base along with developing value-added industries, such as turkey processing and bio-fuel production.
Vogel has life experience of growing up on a southwestern Minnesota family farm, working as a pastor and as a small-business owner in west central Minnesota. His primary goals are to reduce wasteful government spending, reduce corporate and small business taxes, promoting equitable funding between metro and non-metro schools.
He claims the district needs a change and a new perspective in St. Paul. While claiming a need for tax reduction, voter identification and welfare reform, he does not offer specifics as the scope of the problems or potential solutions to back up his call for change. Vogel has not sufficiently made a case for his election.
Juhnke, seeking re-election to his eighth term in the House, is an experienced legislator, who knows how to advance local issues in the Legislature. He understands the needs and issues of the district and west central Minnesota. He has championed renewable energy research and led efforts for previous and proposed funding for Ridgewater College's improvement proposal and the New London to Sibley Park trail proposal.
With the state facing a significant budget deficit that will need addressing in 2011, Juhnke says all options on are on the table. He will again offer a Racino bill as a possible state revenue option, which could help fund a Vikings stadium.
A longtime rural and agriculture advocate, Juhnke works at building coalitions and focusing policy to address those concerns. As chairperson of the House Agriculture, Rural Economies and Veterans Affairs Finance Division, he is currently working for adequate state funding for livestock investment grants as well as establishing a major dairy research center in west central Minnesota.
In his chairperson role, Juhnke has also worked hard in for legislation and projects in support of Minnesota veterans -- seeking to meet their education, mental and physical needs on a county-by-county basis. He has been successful twice in gaining House approval for a veterans' geriatric mental illness facility in Willmar.
Juhnke has consistently proven his ability to meet the needs of District 13B and address the issues of Minnesota. His experience, leadership and seniority are critical to this district.
The West Central Tribune endorses Juhnke for re-election Nov. 2.

Anatomy of the Hip
A bursa is a small sac of fluid that acts as a cushion between bones and the overlying soft tissues, reducing friction between the bone and muscles. There are four bursae associated with the hip. One, the trochanteric bursa, overlies the greater trochanter, which is the bony point of the hip that serves as a point of attachment for many of the muscles that move the hip joint. This is the largest bursa of the hip and the most common to cause symptoms. Another, called the iliopsoas bursa, is located on the groin side of the hip and lies between the bone the and iliopsoas tendon. The ischiogluteal, or simply ischial, bursa is deep in the pelvis below the hip joint and overlies the ischium of the pelvis. The gluteus medius bursa is near the trochanteric bursa and lies between the femur and the gluteus medius tendon. When any of these bursae become irritated and inflamed, the condition is commonly referred to as hip bursitis.
Causes of Hip Bursitis
Hip bursitis is more common in women and middle-aged or elderly people, but it can affect anyone. Trochanteric bursitis is more common than iliopsoas bursitis. Some of the risk factors include:
- Bone spurs or calcium deposits attached to the trochanter that irritate the bursa
- Previous hip surgery or hip implants can irritate the bursa
- Tightness of the IT band, a thick tendinous band overlying the trochanter
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Problems that alter alignment and gait, such as leg-length inequality, knee or ankle injuries, or scoliosis
- Hip injury, such as from a fall or car accident
- Repetitive overuse, such as from running or bicycling over long periods of time
The main symptom of hip bursitis is pain in the hip. Some patients describe their pain as sharp and intense, while others feel more of a spread out, dull ache. Typically the pain is worse when lying on the affected side or after periods of prolonged walking, running, stair climbing, or squatting.
The doctor will perform a physical exam to look for tenderness in the hip area and to rule out other possible conditions. X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs may be ordered to rule out other problems as well.
Treatment Options for Hip Bursitis
Non-Surgical Treatment
Many people with bursitis can experience relief without surgery. Early treatment usually consists of:
- Lifestyle modification to avoid activities that worsen symptoms
- Use of over-the-counter or prescription strength nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories for a limited period of time
- Use of a cane or crutches as needed
Another non-surgical option is injection of a corticosteroid and a local anesthetic into the affected bursa, which usually gives immediate and often permanent relief. If the bursitis does return, up to three injections a few months apart may be needed.
Surgical Treatment
If other treatments have failed, minimally invasive endoscopic removal of the bursa is an option. Part of the procedure involves creating an opening in the tight tendinous band overlying the trochanter to prevent recurrence of the condition. The hip is still able to function properly without the bursa, and this surgery can be very effective.
Surgical Risks
Complications with hip bursitis surgery are uncommon. In a small percentage of cases, the IT band tendon may scar back together and cause recurrent bursitis symptoms. As with all surgeries, there is a risk of infection, damage to surrounding nerves, and blood clots.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
The rehabilitation period after surgery is very short. Walking the evening after surgery is reasonable, and soreness is usually gone within a few days.
- How can I prevent hip bursitis?
Keeping the muscles around the hip strong and avoiding tightness of the IT band by stretching are ways to help prevent bursitis. Also, correcting any conditions that may cause a limp such as associated ankle, knee, or low back problems can help the symptoms of bursitis.
- When should I consider surgery for hip bursitis?
If you have tried medicines, multiple cortisone injections, and home exercises or physical therapy and still have persistent symptoms of bursitis for months, then you may be a good candidate for endoscopic bursectomy.
- What is the success rate of endoscopic bursectomy?
Endoscopic bursectomy has a very high success rate of alleviating the symptoms of bursitis, up to 97% is the largest study. Probably the most important predictor of success is relief from cortisone injections. If your bursitis pain is completely relieved for a short time by a cortisone injection, then you will likely get complete relief from the surgery. If the injections do not relieve all of your pain, there may be a condition other than bursitis such as gluteus tendinitis/tear or a low back problem that is responsible for your pain.

Sean Peace, the 22-year-old man accused of shooting livery cab driver Trevor Bell at least four times last month and robbing him of about $100, was arrested and charged with multiple felonies Tuesday, the Queens district attorney said.
Peace was apprehended in a Buffalo apartment Tuesday by officers from the New York Police Department's Violent Felony Squad an NYPD spokeswoman said, and was brought back to New York City to face charges.
Peace was charged with second-degree attempted murder, assault, robbery and criminal possession of a weapon. If convicted, Peace faces up to 25 years in prison.
"This shooting of a hardworking livery cab driver who is married and the father of six children will be vigorously prosecuted," DA Richard Brown said in a statement.
The arrest comes as a relief for the Bell family and friends, according to a spokesman for the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers Inc.
"We are relieved that this man was caught. We believe that this guy was a menace to society," Fernando Mateo said. "The family was very worried that [Peace] would retaliate against Mr. Bell."
Mateo said that in the five weeks after the shooting, Bell has been slowly recuperating at Jamaica Hospital with one bullet still lodged in his neck. However, Bell is able to walk with a cane.
"Trevor is going better, he is taking it a day at a time," he said. "There is a lot of pain."
But while Bell has been sidelined from his work, he has been unable to afford his car payments, Mateo said.
"I've made the initial payments," Mateo said, adding that to top things off, Bell is not eligible for Worker's Compensation through the state.
"That's ridiculous, Worker's Compensation disapproved his claim," Mateo said. "They said that you have to lose a limb. It's totally unreasonable what they're looking for."
The incident occurred in the evening on Dec. 3, when Peace alledgedly approached Big D Royal Car Service at 117-02 Merrick Blvd. looking for a ride to a dead-end intersection.
Upon arriving at the destination, Peace allegedly got into an argument with Bell and shot Bell once in each leg, once in the right hand and once in the neck, according to a police spokesman.
Bell was later taken to Jamaica Hospital where he was listed in critical condition.
In response to the shooting, Mateo issued a statement in which he encouraged drivers to racially profile their passengers.
He then instituted a program whereby taxi and limousine drivers could get bulletproof vests before going out on the job.
"It's going pretty well. We had drivers suited up last week and have 15 to 17 more vests that we should be distributing," Mateo said.

Coles, Edward and Christiansen, Jeff and Economou, Androulla and Wilkinson, David G. and Bronner-Fraser, Marianne (2004) A vertebrate crossveinless 2 homologue modulates BMP activity and neural crest cell migration. Development, 131 (21). pp. 5309-5317. ISSN 0950-1991. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20110920-103005137

Previous work has revealed that proteins that bind to bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and inhibit their signalling have a crucial role in the spatial and temporal regulation of cell differentiation and cell migration by BMPs. We have identified a chick homologue of crossveinless 2, a Drosophila gene that was identified in genetic studies as a promoter of BMP-like signalling. Chick Cv-2 has a conserved structure of five cysteine-rich repeats similar to those found in several BMP antagonists, and a C-terminal Von Willebrand type D domain. Cv-2 is expressed in the chick embryo in a number of tissues at sites at which elevated BMP signalling is required. One such site of expression is premigratory neural crest, in which at trunk levels threshold levels of BMP activity are required to initiate cell migration. We show that, when overexpressed, Cv-2 can weakly antagonise BMP4 activity in Xenopus embryos, but that in other in vitro assays Cv-2 can increase the activity of co-expressed BMP4. Furthermore, we find that increased expression of Cv-2 causes premature onset of trunk neural crest cell migration in the chick embryo, indicative of Cv-2 acting to promote BMP activity at an endogenous site of expression. We therefore propose that BMP signalling is modulated both by antagonists and by Cv-2 that acts to elevate BMP activity.

Don't Get Screwed by Using the Wrong Tool
Porter Cable 18V Lithium Drill Kit
There are certain tools that every man needs, regardless of his station. From the suburban DIY guru to the loft-dweller with nary a free cupboard, much less a full-out workshop, each one among us can benefit from the prowess of a solid cordless drill driver. If you can only own one tool, that's the one to have.
If you're in the market for one (or looking for something to add to your Christmas list), we suggest checking out the Porter Cable 18V Lithium-Ion Drill Driver. If you're unfamiliar with the Porter Cable name, we'll tell you that they make high-quality shop and power tools of all varieties (and by "all varieties" we mean pretty much anything you could ever want). Their 18V cordless drill driver is no exception.
Of great note about Porter Cable's drill driver offering is its physical size, or lack thereof. Weighing in at only 3.8 lbs for minimal fatigue even during extended use, it also measures only 8.5″ from front to back, making it easy to work into tight spaces that would prohibit access by typical cordless drills. We've already made use of this beast to complete several products ranging from the mundane (assembling furniture, hanging art) to the maddening (pre-drilling fence posts for lag bolts, bending a rogue baby gate to our will). In each case, it performed admirably. Even better, the included fast charger takes only 30 minutes to get you back to work. It doesn't hurt that Porter Cable tools have a reputation for quality that means we've got years employ this drill in our ill-conceived construction schemes.
- 2-speed gear box offers high-speed for drilling and low-speed for maximum torque
- 1/2″ metal chuck means strong retention and allows use of larger bits
- Trigger-actuated LED light illuminates work area when in use
- Kit includes soft-sided case, fast charger, and an additional battery
Cost: $175

Infinite Doodle puts other drawing games to shame
The creators of The Adventures of Shuggy and Gateways have revealed their next title, a drawing application for Xbox 360 and PC.
Smudged Cat Games describes Infinite Doodle as an "experimental 'toy' rather than a serious drawing package." As you can see from the video below, players can endlessly zoom in on a picture and draw within it — going as microscopic as they wish.
"There's no limit to the amount of detail your creations can contain," reads the press release. "While just scribbling freehand will let your creativity flourish, you can also make use of a range of different tools to help your picture come to life. Draw lines, squares, circles and even stamp fun shapes like the Shuggy characters into your drawing. If you make a mistake there are undo and redo buttons and you can always move, rotate and scale objects that you've already drawn."
The Windows PC version is free to download. Infinite Doodle costs 80 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live.

2 Samuel 11:1
1In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel. And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.

Talking it over: It was a fair time
I had a great time at the fair this year. I hope everyone who attended did too. The weather was nice, the food was great and there were so many people I knew, it was hard to do anything but just visit.
After a summer of heat and rain, we got by with just one shower over the weekend and temperatures that were actually bearable. I spent all day Friday at the 4-H judgings, and it was comfortable sitting in the stands. That is normally not the case. This made it much nicer for the 4-Hers, judges and animals.
I think I tested just about every type of food available at the fair. I can't even tell you my favorite because they were all very good. I did have to go back for another round on the pork chops and hamburgers.
My favorite part, however, was browsing through the exhibit buildings. The 4-H, Homemakers and Open Class buildings had several great entries, and I love to see what people have accomplished and sometimes even get some ideas.
I was impressed by how talented the people are in Stevens County. From woodworking, gardening, stitching, and baking to photography, painting and sewing, we have a lot of very talented people. We also have a lot of talented young people and hopefully many of them will go on to continue entering their projects in future fairs.
I have to add that, just like the children, I really enjoy the rides. Not necessarily riding but watching. My husband and I had all five of our grandchildren at the fair on Saturday with three of them going on rides. It was so much fun to see the excitement, joy and wonder on their faces as they tried out each one.
Sunday afternoon, with a few tickets left to use up, we joined our daughter, son-in-law and their two girls at the fair. Jaedyn, who is almost four, was content to ride on the smaller rides but eagerly agreed when her dad asked her if she wanted to try the Tilt-a-whirl. We watched in awe as she laughed and grinned through the ride.
Afterward I asked her if the ride made her tummy feel funny. She said "Yes, it kept rumbling. It felt like when I am hungry."
We were so glad the rumble quieted down for her and she will have a good memory of her first 'big' ride.
Another fair is over, which means school, fall and harvest are not far behind. I hope we can hang on to these beautiful summer days for just a little longer and possibly have a mild winter.

A family of four has lost their home after a cooking fire consumed their west Athens apartment Thursday evening, according to the Athens-Clarke fire department.
Just before p.m., firefighters responded to the Park on West Broad and contained the fire to just one apartment, said Battalion Chief Mark Freeman.
Firefighters left the scene shortly before 8 p.m.
No one was hurt, but the family's first-floor apartment was destroyed and an above apartment was damaged by smoke, Freeman said.
The American Red Cross is caring for the displaced family.

COLUMBUS, OH (WIAT) – Auburn's men's golf team made a strong move in the Columbus Regional on Friday. The Tigers are within two strokes of the leaders, UNLV & South Carolina at 18-over for the tournament.
Auburn fired a 9-over-par 293 on Friday to climb into a tie for third place with Stanford. The top-five teams will advance to the NCAA Championships in Atlanta.
"We are in a great position to win a golf tournament," Auburn head coach Nick Clinard said. "The guys have really battled hard the last two days. We have to just go out there and stick to our game plan and play hard and play smart and put ourselves in a position to win the golf tournament.
"All year, we have played tough golf courses preparing for this situation and preparing for the National Championship. We just have to go out there and control what we can control and worry about ourselves and go out there and have some fun."
Three Tigers are tied for 10 at 3-over for the tournament. Michael Johnson, Jake Mondy & Dominic Bozzelli find themselves knotted up with three other players

Senior editors at the North Carolina-based Civitas Media, which owns around 100 daily and weekly newspapers, proposed creating a state-by-state database of gun owners – concealed carry licensees – and then publishing the results online.
Their plans seem to have been placed on hold, however, after the Buckeye Firearms Association, an Ohio-based gun-rights group, published an internal Civitas email about the plan.
According to the email, Jim Lawitz, Civitas' director of content, wrote "We will attempt to build state-by-state databases that list those who have the right to carry a concealed weapon." He planned to acquire the data for the "enterprise project" through public records requests.
Buckeye got the email from a confidential source at the newspaper chain who had safety concerns about the proposal.
The last time a newspaper published a list of gun owners things did not go well.
The Journal News, located in Westchester, New York, published an interactive database of residents who had permits to possess handguns. The database was searchable, and even contained the gun owners' actual addresses. It sparked a nationwide furor. The paper and its editors had to hire armed guards, and the data was eventually taken offline.
There are a host problems associated with publishing lists of gun owners. First and foremost – there are very real, very valid safety concerns. After prescription medication and loose cash, firearms are highly prized by residential burglars. Publishing a list of gun owners would be a boon to the burglary business. I wonder what the Civitas editors would think of publishing a list of expensive jewelry owners, high-end sports car devotees or those who carry large amounts of cash.
There are also questions about the need for such a database.
As a reporter who's not unfamiliar with enterprise projects – even if the safety concerns were somehow mitigated – I struggle to see the purpose for such a database. It's got no journalistic cred.
I could understand acquiring the data if there were questions about how the permits were issued – say a public official was selling them out the backdoor of his office, or a minority group was denied access to a concealed carry program – but publishing names and addresses of gun owners should never be part of any "enterprise project." It puts lives at risk.
I had never heard of Civitas Media until this story broke, although I've only been a reporter for 16 years.
Kudos to the Buckeye Firearms Association for acquiring the internal email, investigating its authenticity and protecting the confidential source.
That's real journalism.

Day 3Start at Day 0
It is ?? dark thirty and I am awake for some reason. I suppose since I fell asleep around 19:30 my body feels this is sufficient. There isn't much for me to do but write a bit and hope I can fall asleep for a few more hours.
I did manage to fall asleep again and woke up around 07:30. An hour later I was on the trail ahead of Toad, a section hiker. Our first objective was Glastenbury Mountain. I actually lost my steam on the hike. I'm blaming it partly on dehyrdration and wet feet. My shoes are still damp and I have been walking on sore feet over the rocky trail.
Toad passed me but we met again at the rebuilt Goddard Shelter just below Glastonbury's wooded summit. There were 2 AT Sobos there as well and I gave them the rest of my dried fruit. I was carrying to much and they were low on food. Actually we all shared stuff out of our bags so it all worked out.
It was a short walk up to the thickly wooded summit where I found the firetower taped off. In 2000 I was able to climb up to the top for some great views. Too bad. There were two trails leaving the summit northbound but I figured out the correct (leftmost) path easily enough.
While I am thinking of it, I took another look at my mileage and I will not have to average 15/ day to meet Karen. I forgot about the extra day into Machester Center.
I am alone at Caughnawaga tonight. The others and a GMC trail crew are at the nearby Kid Gore Shelter. Last night I slept a little restlessly so I wanted to be alone tonight. This shelter is somewhat dilapidated though. It was built in 1931.
Tomorrow's hike will probably be the same terrain as today, which is to say a small mountain and some low boggy areas. The weather has been nice since the rain, although a little chilly.
Continue on with Day 4 north to Canada

Torture was a regularized part of the criminal justice system in Roman antiquity, but its use and abuse changed over time. Our most extensive knowledge regarding the reasons for and application of state-sanctioned torture comes from the jurist Ulpian. The Syrian's straightforward writings were highly influential from the late second and early third century CE, when he lived and wrote, into the period of Late Antiquity. His opinions make up about a third of the Digest of the emperor Justinian (533 CE). In fact, the jurist got pride of place within the Digest by having an excerpt of his Institutes introduce the first book:
est autem a iustitia appellatum: nam, ut eleganter celsus definit, ius est ars boni et aequi.'
However, (the law) obtains its name from justice; for, as Celsus elegantly defines it, law is the art of knowing what is good and just (Ulp. Dig. 1.1.1pr.)
Ulpian's philosophy of law certainly appears profound, but what exactly did 'boni et aequi' mean? Without a clear, immutable definition, these words could be up to interpretation, as was the case with torture.
Fast forward to book 48 of the Digest, and we arrive at Ulpian's opinions on the use of torture. The jurist notes that torture was customary within Roman law, but rather unreliable (48.18.1pr).
|Plaster copy of a panel from Trajan's Column. Dacian women inflict torture.

There were a number of laws concerning the torture of slaves. Unlike citizens in the Republic and early empire, slaves had particularly vulnerable bodies that could be tortured under certain circumstances. Foreigners were also vulnerable, but as you moved up the social ladder to freedmen, protections of the body increased. For instance, a freedman could not be tortured when his patron was being tried for a capital crime (Ulp. Dig. 220.127.116.11). In this section, caveats regarding the use of torture come up again:
nam plerique patientia sive duritia tormentorum ita tormenta contemnunt, ut exprimi eis veritas nullo modo possit: alii tanta sunt impatientia, ut quodvis mentiri quam pati tormenta velint: ita fit, ut etiam vario modo fateantur, ut non tantum se, verum etiam alios criminentur.
…for most persons, either through forbearance or through the harshness of the tortures, so hate the torture that the truth is in no way able be extracted from them. Others are so intolerant that they wish to lie rather than to endure the tortures, and thus it happens that they confess in a variant manner, so that they not only impeach themselves, but others as well (Ulp. Dig. 18.104.22.168).
Clearly, there were many rules about when and how torture could be used, but there was originally a firm belief that citizens should be largely immune to it. The lex Porcia of the 190s BCE and later the lex Iulia de vi (c. 17 BCE) had a priori exempted citizens from torture (Robinson 2007:107). These corporal protections began to shift into the Antonine period. By the time of Marcus Aurelius, it appears that lower class citizens serving as witnesses could be tortured (CJ 9.41.11). Increasingly, only the upper orders of Roman society remained protected.
With the constitutio Antoniniana (212 CE), citizenship privileges were extended to most living within the empire, and thus the boundaries between citizen and foreigner eroded, to be replaced by status differentiations. Increasingly, only the very upper orders of Roman society remained protected, while humiliores became more available to torture tactics and corporal punishment such as flogging. Constantine expanded and in many ways even encouraged this growth in the use of torture and physical pain during the fourth century, which would permeate even the elite classes (e.g., decurions) into Late Antiquity.
I do not have the space or the time to write as extensively as I would like on the subject of torture. I have written at length on the topic here, but I wanted to take a moment to think about the growth of such tactics in Roman antiquity and to ask whether we can learn from it. In my opinion, the use of torture and corporal punishment is insidious and spreads like a disease within any legal system. In short? As the CIA learned, torture is a largely ineffective approach to gathering information. Moreover, its use may often seem manageable and relegated to only the few within a society, but in reality, often spreads to the many.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai said Thursday he will meet next week with President Robert Mugabe on reviving a power-sharing plan.
Tsvangirai, head of the Movement for Democratic Change, held a news conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, Voice of America reported. He said South African President Kgalema Motlanthe, who heads the Southern Africa Development Community, was arranging the meeting.
Zimbabwe has been in economic freefall for several years and its currency is now worthless. A cholera epidemic has killed at least 2,000 people and sickened thousands and has spread across its borders, threatening South Africa and other neighbors.
Tsvangirai said power sharing means making Zimbabwe's security forces subject to law and ending arrests and assaults on MDC supporters. He said there must be an equitable distribution of cabinet posts between MDC and the ruling Zanu-PF party.

We are expecting rain and getting snow instead. I really dread when the rains start ... it will be a really messy place.

Cary's fine work at snow removal
Location: Spokane, WA
Joan, I hope spring is here for you, for certain, too. This year is a new start for you, and I hope it is full of flowers, food plants, and fragrance.
I looked up your forecast - looks like low on tues is 32, but otherwise some days into nice 50s and 60s. Sunshine on Wed. Sounds nice!
We had a sunny afternoon yesterday. I planted potatoes. It's early. It's OK if they don't grow, or if they frost. I just had to get out and plant.
Almost all the snow is gone now. The cold snap broke a couple of days ago and temps almost reached 50 degrees F. Then we had some rain that melted it quickly, and the rest should be melted Sunday when we expect another rain storm. Spring should be springing now. I surely hope we don't have another cold snap.
That looks like winters where I grew up too, which was Zone 5. There was an advantage, gardening-wise. Fruit trees did not come out of dormancy as early, so were less likely to be subjected to a killing frost. Also the summers there, being hot and humid, made for great corn and tomato growing.
But I am not a fan of snow! I'd rather look at pictures of it! Thank you for posting them.
"Monday morning, city leaders sent out 55 pieces of equipment and crews worked through the night. Crews are focusing on arterials and residential hills."
We still have cold temps and intermittent snow. Rain is expected next. The current temp at 1:00 PM is 32 degrees F.
Your neighborhood looks so much like the neighborhood where I grew up, I could swear you live down the street! Very nice! Looks so comfortable and just like home.
If that's the status of snow for you right now, I won't complain ANY about late spring here! Thank you for the reality check!

Pakistan's uncertain future

AFTER the shootout at Islamabad's Red Mosque, the pro-democracy demonstrations against Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf in the months preceding it, and Islamists' rallies and suicide bombings following it, the United States finds itself in a familiar situation, aligned with a general who grabbed power in a coup but has become politically isolated, perhaps beyond repair.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A Natomas Wells Fargo Bank that closed for business on Saturday was left unlocked for 48 hours until a customer noticed it and called police.
The Wells Fargo on Arena Boulevard is certainly no Fort Knox.
"That's kind of ridiculous," Lafayette Azevedo said. "I would say that's a big mistake."
So far, no one's talking about who's at fault. The branch manager showed up with a police officer but declined to talk with us. The corporate office also didn't offer an immediate response, but someone's got some explaining to do.
"Thinking they could jump over the counter and there's money to be had," Azevedo said.
Banks are known for their security. After all, they do have hundreds of thousands of dollars coming and going. Who would ever think they'd leave their doors unlocked? Apparently not even the bad guys. It didn't look like anything inside was missing.
But that's not helping the confidence of customers.
"That would be very scary and I might think about moving my money," Carinda Gordon said.
