Conch yields clues for future materials
The shell of the giant pink queen conch evolved over millions of years into the perfect haven. Now, researchers have probed the mollusk shell's mysterious inner architecture in such detail that they can say just why it's hard to crack. Their work hints at how people, too, could construct light, tough protective materials.
The conch Strombus gigas can resist fracture a hundred to a thousand times better than the mineral that makes up 99 percent of its shell. Called aragonite, this mineral is a form of calcium carbonate that breaks like chalk. The researchers used microscopy to show that a protein surrounds the aragonite crystals throughout the shell. That protein changes the toughness by permitting fractures to spread without shattering the mineral.

Pro HDR Camera
Full functionality has been verified on the following phones:

* Motorola: Droid, Droid 2, Droid X
* Samsung: Galaxy S, Epic 4G, Galaxy Nexus
Here are a few professional reviews of our iPhone app Pro HDR:
"If you ever take photos using your iPhone, this app is a must-have." - Gizmodo
"Pro HDR leaps ahead of the pack... Even if you're not into HDR photography, this is one to check out." - TUAW
"Picture Perfection: Pro HDR automatically aligns and blends the images, giving you a perfectly exposed, amazing image that rivals a high-end point-and-shoot camera" - NBC Los Angeles
Thanks to Pro HDR Camera, you no longer have to choose between a blown-out sky or a hopelessly dark foreground. Bringing automatic high dynamic range photography to your Android phone for the first time ever, Pro HDR captures an image exposed for the highlights and another exposed for the shadows. It then aligns and merges the images, giving you a gorgeous HDR image up to 8 megapixels like nothing you've ever seen from such a tiny device.
Unlike fake HDR apps that merely take a single photo and reprocess it (without actually adding any new detail), Pro HDR massively extends the dynamic range of your camera and produces beautiful results that you have to see to believe. We provide a fully automatic mode, and an assisted Manual mode for those times when you wish to choose your exact exposures. Finally, you can take stunning high-res photos of all those scenes that are just too contrasty to capture in a single picture.
Not only will seasoned photographers instantly fall in love with Pro HDR, one look at our example images should convince anyone that Pro HDR represents a new era in mobile photography.
Check out our gallery here: http://www.eyeapps.com/Gallery.html
Pro HDR Camera for Android comes with these incredibly useful features:
• Automatic in-app HDR capture, where all you have to do is tap to capture
• Manual in-app photo capture, where you get to choose the exposure of each image in your HDR
• 3 Image Capture speeds to take pictures nearly instantly on phones that support it, while still compatible with older phones.
• Proprietary image alignment algorithm that precisely aligns full-size images in seconds
• Sophisticated image blending creates one beautiful output image nearly instantly
• Live-updating image adjustment sliders to perfect your HDR:
Choose the perfect brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, and tint, or let Pro HDR automatically maximize image quality.
• Take pictures using hardware buttons (volume up/down or the shutter button if your phone has one)
• Silent capture - mute your shutter sounds for quiet capture
* Camera ZOOM
* Front Camera!
• Fullscreen image preview in portrait and landscape orientation
• Save HDR images at the full resolution of your camera.
• Efficient background processing that renders your HDRs while you keep on shooting
• Built-in HDR gallery view to peruse, share, and re-edit your HDRs
• Share your HDRs with the world with e-mail, and social networks.
• Google+ Instant Upload. Save to DCIM folder to enable!
IMPORTANT: Pro HDR Camera requires Android 2.2 or later. Pro HDR Camera works on Motorola, HTC and Samsung devices.
The exposure functions on LG phones and the Nexus S seem to be broken, so HDR functionality will likely not work (though the rest of the features will). The Nexus S doesn't truly adjust the exposure, but seems to darken or brighten the image in software.

Job Description
We are transferring an application from MS Access to the web.
What should we develop this application in?
Should we use ASP, which translates very directly and hooks well into MS databases or should we explore technology from the web that is not Microsoft related like PHP Ruby and Pearl.
How about hooking up to service like Amazon Web Services?
We need an expert in all of these modern cloud web technologies who can help look at what will give us a low cost, stable, secure, scalable, flexible way to bring our ap to the cloud.
We don't mind burning our current system and building form scratch if there are benefits.

Indium and gallium compounds in the oxidation state (III) can be used as Lewis acids in organic transformation reactions. Recently, additional research has been conducted into the lower oxidation states.
A small sample of the type of reactions that have been enabled by indium- and gallium-based catalysts over the last few years are:
- Selective C-C bond formation
- Allylation of carbonyl compounds and imine derivatives – these are important intermediate steps in the synthesis of natural products and other fine chemicals
- Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatics
- Addition of pyrroles to isatins
- Preparation of chiral amines
- Ring-opening polymerization reactions
- Selective Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes
If you are a researcher looking for a high purity indium- or gallium-based precursor for your catalyst, please contact us.

Nü Sensae's Brody McKnight Takes You Into His YouTube K-Hole
Brody McKnight (you may know him as that guy with the unwashed hair who plays guitar in Nü Sensae) watches a lot of YouTube videos. No, like, a lot. Like most of us, he trolls, but he trolls deep. We asked Brody to give us his top videos that not only make you think "What the hell is going here?" but "How can I justify this beauty?"
Mark Gormely - "Little Wings"
What Brody says: "This guy reminds me of Tiny Tim or any other singer whose voice doesn't match his body. But I think it's beautiful."
Carmen Kyoko & Andrea Sny-aps - "Man Meat"
What Brody says: "I was sent this video from a high school friend because the girls in this video went to school with us. My friend was like, 'Did you know Carmen and Andrea have this rap group now?' This video is insane. It's exactly how these two girls were in high school. Of course, back then, they were the self-proclaimed 'Hoochie Crew,' which proves not too much changes when you come from a small town like I did. But I think that's beautiful."
The Frogs - "Homos" (1986 Home Video)
What Brody says: "The Frogs were a band in the 80s. They made a debut record and they got approached to make a second. They were thinking that the label was going to reissue the first record, but instead, they were asked to make a record about homosexuality, assuming that it was just for personal listening for the label while they worked on a real release. Then, it ended up being the actual release. The record became known as It's Only Right and Natural and it's beautiful. The Frogs were championed in the alternative grunge scene in the 90s, and they would even have Eddie Vedder and Billy Corgan guest on such huge songs as 'I Only Play 4 Money.'"
Turkish Knife Fight
What Brody says: "I found this while in a late night YouTube k-hole. You know—you're clicking on suggested videos and just get in deeper and deeper and end up with something like this, which is two guys doing a knife dance where they may or may not be stabbing each other in front of their friends and family. It seems choreographed, but the stabbing is questionable. But I think it's beautiful."
Mbali George Featuring Yvonne - "Party Time"
What Brody says: "Mbali George is a rapper who lives in Boston. He understands that there are rules to partying. When his video co-star Yvonne asks (through song) if partying can happen on Monday, Mbali Georgia responds, "It's a working day." Yvonne, the white lady who sings with him, just wants to party all the time. The song is really a conflict between the two of them and it teaches responsibility, which I think is beautiful."
G.O.A.T. AND YOUR M.O.M. - "Quack Like a Duck"
What Brody says: "This song epitomizes everything that is great about being in a band, but at the same time, breaks every rule I live by. Like, this proves that you can make any kind of music you want and perform however you want, total freedom. Beautiful."
Laughing Man
What Brody says: "The more you watch it the funnier it gets because laughter is beautiful."

Among those his list:
3. Michael Choice, OF, Texas-Arlington: If he hits -- that is, makes contact and hits for average, since his power is beyond question -- he'll hit his way to the majors by the end of 2011.
5. Barrett Loux, RHP, Texas A&M: Like McGuire, his ceiling isn't that high, but he's pretty close to ready and has performed exceptionally this year.
11. Chad Bettis, RHP, Texas Tech: Unless someone converts him to the rotation, he's pretty close to big league ready. For pure relievers like Bettis and Munson, the big issue in the minors is feel and everything that goes with it -- commanding the fastball, mixing pitches, changing speeds or locations and getting hitters on the other side of the plate out. Because college relievers face such limited samples of batters, many of whom are not prospects, it's the hardest thing for scouts to judge in an amateur pitcher.
12. Brandon Workman, RHP, Texas: Two power pitches and major-league ready control.
17. Chance Ruffin, RHP, Texas: In the bullpen, he should move fairly quickly, but there's a decent chance the team that takes him will move him back to the rotation to see if he can pitch with an average or better fastball working every fifth day.

So it's all happening! Tesco in Crown Street, Sainsbury's in Valley Road, Booth's at Stubbings Wharf - all unwanted and resented by the great majority of the local population.
Where are our councillors? Why are they not putting up a fight to oppose all this commercialism?
Do we not now need independent politicians who live in Hebden Bridge rather than Brighouse or Todmorden to stage another Watchdog type campaign of opposition, doing a Totnes to kill off the Garden Street traffic plan a few years ago?

The holiday shopping season is upon us, and both Sony and Microsoft have just released brand-new, long-awaited video-game consoles, which means that kids will be clamoring for RPGs and first-person shooters even more than usual this year. The eternal question: Are you a bad parent if you let them have them?
A recent study came to a surprising conclusion: Maybe not! The study, published in March and written up in Games and Learning last week, was billed as showing rather conclusively that video games are not bad for kids. The Games and Learning headline: "Game Play Has No Negative Impact on Kids, UK Study Finds." Here's the first paragraph:
A massive study of some 11,000 youngsters in Britain has found that playing video games, even as early as 5 years old, does not lead to later behavior problems.
Hooray! At last, definitive proof that kids can play all the video games they want and suffer no ill effects, right? Clearly that's a piece of news that people are itching to hear: Jane McGonigal, author of a best-selling book arguing that video games are good for us, tweeted her equally exuberant interpretation of the findings, and the response was overwhelming, with some 3,500 retweets.
Not to be a spoilsport, but before we throw in the dustbin a bunch of other studies that have found links between youth screen time and antisocial behavior, it's probably worth, you know, reading the actual paper. Which reveals that, in fact, the researchers did not track 11,000 kids for a decade. Rather, they drew their data from the broader, decade-long U.K. Millennium Cohort Study, but conducted their analysis only on a slice of data that looked at kids once at age 5 and then again at age 7.
I pointed this out to McGonigal, and she acknowledged the mistake, implying that she hadn't yet read the actual paper when she first tweeted about it. Presumably, neither did most of the 3,500 people who retweeted her - nor the authors of several other blog posts and articles that have picked up on Games and Learning's post, including MSN UK, Slashgear, Nintendo Life, Kotaku.au and more. The worst offender so far is the video-game site IGN, which ran with the following absurd headline: "Games Definitely Don't Harm Kids, Says Huge Study."
That is definitely not what the study said.
Rather, the researchers looked specifically at whether kids in the Millennium Cohort Study who played a lot of video games at age 5 had grown substantially worse in their behavior by age 7 compared to those who did not. The behavioral outcomes were based on the kids' mothers' assessments, and the researchers controlled for a wide array of factors, including income and family structure. Their goal: to see whether video games and/or television alone could be linked to negative changes in behavior over a two-year period from age 5 to age 7.
They did find some links between TV screen time and deteriorating behavior, but they did not find a link between video-game time and bad behavior (or ADHD, or emotional problems, or any of the other bugaboos that in the past have been ascribed to childhood screen exposure). Again, that doesn't mean the kids who played lots of video games at age 5 were all perfect angels at age 7, just that they weren't significantly worse than they already were at age 5, once you controlled for a number of other factors. As far as I can tell, the study did not look at all at the effects of video games or TV prior to age 5.
The researchers themselves make no such sweeping claims.
To be clear, I'm not arguing that video games are bad for kids. I'm just pointing out that this study does not prove what quite a lot of people seem to want it to. Sorry, parents. Science is trying to get you an answer, but for now, you're still on your own with this one.

Video games aren't bad for kids?
The holiday shopping season is upon us, and both Sony and Microsoft have just released brand-new, long-awaited video-game consoles, which means that kids will be clamoring for RPGs and first-person shooters even more than usual this year. The eternal question: Are you a bad parent if you let them have them?

Cats outsmart the researchers
I knew a lot had been written about dogs, and I assumed there must be at least a handful of studies on cats. But after weeks of scouring the scientific world for someone - anyone - who studied how cats think, all I was left with was this statement, laughed over the phone to me by one of the world's top animal cognition experts, a Hungarian scientist named Ádám Miklósi.

Do White Castle prices tell us anything about the minimum wage?
The paper looked at how many delicious steamed sliders the minimum wage has been able to purchase over time. The point is that as it notes, in 1981, the $3.35 minimum could buy a whole dozen. Today, at $7.25, it could purchase just 10.

Smartphone kill switches are coming
Smartphones need kill switches. It's a relatively easy solution to the pricey (and irritating) problem of smartphone theft.

The cooperative spirit! It makes so much sense!
