\nMetastatic progression defines the final stages of tumor evolution and underlies the majority of cancer-relat ed deaths. The heterogeneity in disseminated tumor cell populations capabl e of seeding and growing in distant organ sites contributes to the develop ment of treatment resistant disease. We recently reported the identificat ion of a novel tumor-derived cell population\, circulating hybrid cells (C HCs)\, harboring attributes from both macrophages and neoplastic cells\, i ncluding functional characteristics important to metastatic spread. These disseminated hybrids outnumber conventionally defined circulating tumor ce lls (CTCs) in cancer patients. It is unknown if CHCs represent a generaliz ed cancer mechanism for cell dissemination\, or if this population is rele vant to the metastatic cascade. We detect CHCs in the peripheral blood of patients with cancer in myriad disease sites encompassing epithelial and n on-epithelial malignancies. Further\, we demonstrate that in vivo -derived hybrid cells harbor tumor-initiating capacity in murine cancer mo dels and that CHCs from human breast cancer patients express stem cell ant igens\, features consistent with the ability to seed and grow at metastati c sites. We reveal heterogeneity of CHC phenotypes reflect key tumor featu res\, including oncogenic mutations and functional protein expression. Imp ortantly\, this novel population of disseminated neoplastic cells opens a new area in cancer biology and renewed opportunity for battling metastatic disease.
\nThe research fo cus of the Wong laboratory revolves around understanding the regulatory me chanisms that control epithelial stem cell homeostasis and their expansion in developmental\, homeostasis and disease contexts\, including cancer. I have substantial training and experience in intestinal stem cell investig ation leveraging in vivo and ex vivo modeling\, as well as in myriad cutting edge technologies (i.e. cyCIF\, scRNA-seq). My public ation record spans my post-doctoral fellowship in Dr. Jeffrey Gordon's lab oratory at Washington University School of Medicine\, to studies in my own laboratory at Oregon Health & Science University. Our research impacts th e understanding of regulatory mechanisms that govern cell state in the con text of the evolving tissue microenvironment and changing cell signaling l andscape\, in development and disease.
Our studies in st em cell regulation led to the intriguing finding that stem cells can fuse with tissue macrophages in the context of injury repair and may impact tis sue regeneration. We have extended these findings to the cancer setting\, where cancer-macrophage fusions are detectible in primary and metastatic t umors\, and my group recently identified and characterized these cells as a novel circulating tumor cell population. Importantly\, our studies in ce ll culture\, in mice and humans provide an indepth evaluation of hybrid ce lls to set the foundation for continued investigations into their biology\ , impact on disease progression or tissue regeneration\, and use as a biom arker for disease burden. Importantly\, we coined the term\, circulating h ybrid cell (CHC) for this novel population and reported they exist at high er levels than conventionally defined circulating tumor cells in the perip heral blood of cancer patients. This work was published in 2018 and highli ghted by Science Magazine as one of the top ten publications in the cancer field in the science family journals. The science proposed in this U01 ap plication leverage hybrid cell biology to assess treatment response and re sistance in breast cancer patients undergoing targeted therapy. Our propos al leverages active collaborations with Dr. Young Hwan Young's group to sy nergize biology with computation\, as well as a number of other valuable c ollaborators to ensure success of the proposed\, cutting-edge science.

\nTumor molecular profiling is
a fundamental component of precision oncology\, enabling the identificatio
n of oncogenomic mutations that can be targeted therapeutically. To accele
rate enrollment to clinical trials of molecularly targeted agents and guid
e treatment selection\, we have established a center-wide\, prospective cl
inical sequencing program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center using
a custom\, paired tumor-blood normal sequencing assay (MSK-IMPACT)\, which
we have used to profile more than 50\,000 patients with solid tumors. Yet
beyond just the characterization of tumor-specific alterations\, the incl
usion of blood DNA has readily enabled the identification of germline risk
alleles and somatic mutations associated with clonal hematopoiesis. To co
mplement this approach\, we have also implemented a 'liquid biopsy' cfDNA
panel (MSK-ACCESS) for cancer detection\, surveillance\, and treatment sel
ection and monitoring. In my talk\, I will describe the prevalence of soma
tic and germline genomic alterations in a real-world population\, the clin
ical benefits of cfDNA assessment\, and how clonal hematopoiesis can infor
m cancer risk and confound liquid biopsy approaches to cancer detection.
\nMichael Berger\, PhD\, hold
s the Elizabeth and Felix Rohatyn Chair and is Associate Director of the M
arie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Center for Molecular Oncology at Memorial S
loan Kettering Cancer Center\, a multidisciplinary initiative to promote p
recision oncology through genomic analysis to guide the diagnosis and trea
tment of cancer patients. He is also an Associate Attending Geneticist in
the Department of Pathology with expertise in cancer genomics\, computatio
nal biology\, and high-throughput DNA sequencing technology. His laborator
y is developing experimental and computational methods to characterize the
genetic makeup of individual cancers and identify genomic biomarkers of d
rug response and resistance. As Scientific Director of Clinical NGS in the
Molecular Diagnostics Service\, he oversees the development and bioinform
atics associated with clinical sequencing assays\, and he helped lead the
development and implementation of MSK-IMPACT\, a comprehensive FDA-authori
zed tumor sequencing panel that been used to profile more than 60\,000 tum
ors from advanced cancer patients at MSK. The resulting data have enabled
the characterization of somatic and germline biomarkers across many cancer
types and the identification of mutations associated with clonal hematopo
iesis. Dr. Berger also led the development of a clinically validated plasm
a cell-free DNA assay\, MSK-ACCESS\, which his laboratory is using to expl
ore tumor evolution\, acquired drug resistance\, and occult metastatic dis
ease. He received his Bachelor's Degree in Physics from Princeton Universi

\nPositron emission tomography (PET) allows for sensitive and quantitative m easurement of physiology\, metabolism and molecular targets noninvasively in the human body. However\, typical clinical PET scanners capture less t han 1% of the available signal produced in the body. PET scanners also ar e not currently capable of precisely determining the location at which a p articular decay occurs. These limitations present opportunities for furthe r innovation that ultimately will impact molecular imaging research and di agnostic imaging with PET. This presentation focuses on 1) total-body PET imaging which greatly improves signal collection\, allowing radiotracer k inetics to be assessed across the entire human body for the first time\, a nd 2) the development of detector technologies that have a timing precisio n of ~ 30 picoseconds\, enabling direct localization of radiotracer decays without tomographic reconstruction.
\nSimon R. Cherry\, Ph.D. received his B.Sc.(Hons) in Physics wit h Astronomy from University College London in 1986 and a Ph.D. in Medical Physics from the Institute of Cancer Research\, University of London in 19 89. After a postdoctoral fellowship at UCLA\, he joined the faculty in th e Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology\, also at UCLA\, in 199 3. In 2001\, Dr. Cherry joined UC Davis and established the Center for Mol ecular and Genomic Imaging\, which he directed from 2004-2016. Currently D r. Cherry is Distinguished Professor in the Departments of Biomedical Engi neering and Radiology at UC Davis.
\nDr. Cherry's research interests center around biomedical imaging and in particular the development and ap plication of in vivo molecular imaging systems. His major accomplishments have been in developing systems for positron emission tomography (PET)\, in particular the invention of the microPET technology that was subsequent ly widely adopted in academia and industry and as co-leader of the EXPLORE R consortium which has developed the world's first total-body PET scanner. He also has contributed to detector technology innovations for PET\, con ducted early biomedical studies using Cerenkov luminescence\, and develope d the first proof-of-concept hybrid PET/MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) s ystems.
\nDr. Cherry is a founding member of the Society of Molecula r Imaging and an elected fellow of six professional societies\, including the Institute for Electronic and Electrical Engineers (IEEE) and the Biome dical Engineering Society (BMES). He served as Editor-in-Chief of the jour nal Physics in Medicine and Biology from 2011-2020. Dr. Cherry received th e Academy of Molecular Imaging Distinguished Basic Scientist Award (2007)\ , the Society for Molecular Imaging Achievement Award (2011) and the IEEE Marie Sklodowska-Curie Award (2016). In 2016\, he was elected as a membe r of the National Academy of Engineering and in 2017 he was elected to the National Academy of Inventors.

\nC ancer research continues to be predicated on a 1970's model of research an d treatment. Despite half a century of intense research\, we are failing s pectacularly to improve the outcome for patients with advanced disease. Th ose who are cured continue to be treated mostly with the older strategies (surgery-chemo-radiation). Our contention is that the real solution to the cancer problem is to diagnose cancer early\, at the stage of The First Ce ll. The rapidly evolving technologies are doing much in this area but need to be expanded. We study a pre-leukemic condition called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with the hope that we can detect the first leukemia cells a s the disease transforms to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Towards this end \, we have collected blood and bone marrow samples on MDS and AML patients since 1984. Today\, our Tissue Repository has more than 60\,000 samples. We propose novel methods to identify surrogate markers that can identify t he First Cell through studying the serial samples of patients who evolve f rom MDS to AML.
\nDr. Raza is a Professor of Medicine and Director of the MDS Center at Columbia Univ ersity in New York\, NY.She started her research in Myelodisplastic Syndro mes (MDS) in 1982 and moved to Rush University\, Chicago\, Illinois in 199 2\, where she was the Charles Arthur Weaver Professor in Oncology and Dire ctor\, Division of Myeloid Diseases. The MDS Program\, along with a Tissue Repository containing more than 50\,000 samples from MDS and acute leukem ia patients was successfully relocated to the University of Massachusetts in 2004 and to Columbia University in 2010.
\nBefore moving to New Y ork\, Dr. Raza was the Chief of Hematology Oncology and the Gladys Smith M artin Professor of Oncology at the University of Massachussetts in Worcest er.

The actor's two-page description of his relationship with his daughter was filed Tuesday in a case against Bauer Publishing Co. The actor is suing Bauer over a pair of 2012 tabloid stories that claimed he had "abandoned" his daughter. The stories in Life & Style and In Touch magazines cited Cruise's absence from Suri's life due to overseas film shoots.
"I have in no way cut Suri out of my life - whether physically, emotionally, financially or otherwise," Cruise wrote. He said despite filming back-to-back movies in the second half of 2012, he spoke to his daughter nearly every day and got frequent updates about her from her mother, actress Katie Holmes.
Cruise's lawyers are asking a judge to order Bauer to declare it didn't have any sources to support its contentions about his parenting role.
Bauer's lawyers argue that a judge should reject Cruise's motion. Their lawyers also cited files they have turned over to Cruise's legal team that describe the magazine's reporting and statements from confidential sources that the actor had missed Suri's first day of school and could have flown to New York to see her.
Cruise sued Bauer Publishing in October 2012, and his lawyer Bert Fields attacked the notion that the actor had deserted his daughter as a "vicious lie."

"I've always had the attitude that I want to finish my opponent. Even when I was a young wrestler it was all about the pin for me."
UFC Lightweight contender Jim Miller (18-2) is looking to win a little Christmas cheer in Montreal at UFC 124 next week, when he takes on highly touted, "Breakthrough Fighter of the Year" nominee Charles Oliviera (14-0).
The nomination came at the 2010 World MMA Awards on December 1, where once again UFC president Dana White won the "Leading Man of the Year" category, dedicating the award to the fans.
For Miller, while he's happy for the success the 21-year old Oliviera had in 2010, he's looking to bring the young Brazilian back to reality.
"I don't think he's fought anybody like me," says Miller. "I think I match up pretty well and will be able to use my size advantage, and I should be able to dictate where the fight goes. He's a tough opponent, but I've fought a wide variety of sizes and styles. I've had twenty fights and I always try to get the toughest fights I can get. I've fought great strikers, great wrestlers and great grapplers. He falls into one of those guys who are well rounded but not so dangerous in any one of those aspects of his game. He's very confident and that's a dangerous weapon to have because he'll go anywhere but I'm definitely ready. I hope he's not taking me lightly."
Jim is motivated to finish Oliveira, after what he calls a disappointing unanimous decision victory over Gleison Tibau at UFC Fight Night 22 in September in Austin, TX.
"That was a tough fight, because I expended more energy than I ever have before, just trying to force the action and getting Gleison to engage," he said. "He wasn't having any of it, and let me tell you, my lungs hurt for three days after that fight. It was really hard on me. But you're never going to see me happy over a decision."
Oliveira choked out both Darren Elkins and Efrain Escudero, winning Submission of the Night honors in his first two UFC bouts, but with Miller, he's running into someone who matches up very differently. Miller is a strong wrestler with very good submissions, and he believes his size advantage will be difficult for the BJJ ace to overcome.
"Like I said, he's had a good year," says Miller. "He choked out both of his opponents but they haven't been high profile guys I don't think. I think I'm his toughest test so far so we'll see how he deals with it."
Oliveira knows he's in for the fight of his life against Miller, telling UFC.com "Mr. Miller has never been finished, he's only lost decisions," and that "he brings the fight."
And it's exactly that knowledge from his opponent that Miller says will make for an exciting fight, one that could very well end up with some kind of fight bonus before the night is over.
"It's always great to win a submission or fight of the night bonus," says Miller, "but you can't focus on that. I've always had the attitude that I want to finish my opponent. Even when I was a young wrestler it was all about the pin for me. Going into the Octagon with that attitude, coupled with Charles' desire to keep up the hype train, yeah, that will make for an exciting matchup."
For Miller, a win bonus will mean more gifts for his six month old daughter, whom he plans to spoil this Christmas even though she probably won't remember.
"She's my first little girl so yeah, we're definitely looking to make Christmas memorable, but I have a big family and there's a lot of reasons to win some Christmas cheer on December 11."
Fighting on one of the most anticipated cards of the year – and that's saying a lot considering this is a year that saw Frankie Edgar beat BJ Penn twice, Brock Lesnar come back from illness, survive, and then submit Shane Carwin, only to lose his belt later to Cain Velasquez, and Anderson Silva nearly lose for the first time in the UFC against Chael Sonnen – the main event at UFC 124 pits welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre against challenger Josh Koscheck.
Miller says while Koscheck has the power to pull off an upset knockout, his money's on the champion.
"I'm leaning toward GSP," says Miller. "He's just got too many tools for Koscheck to handle."
And being able to witness a championship fight firsthand only gives Miller even more motivation for a win against Oliveira.
"A win here would put me in the position for an overall contender fight," he said. "I think I don't get as much respect from some of the guys because I haven't had a big name. But it's not that I don't want it or I haven't been asking for it. I think I deserve the same kind of hype that Evan Dunham's been getting."

Universe : | Prime Timeline |
Location of Event : | Earth |
Year : | 2373, 2063 [1] |
Nature of Event : | Past Incursion [1] |
In 2373, the Borg launched their another attack on the Federation; following the pattern of the previous one, a single cube arrived on the edge of Federation space and headed directly towards Earth. [1]
Starfleet Admiral Hayes assembled a fleet to intercept the cube at the Typhon sector, and a heavy battle ensued. Captain Picard monitored the fleet's subspace communications from the Neutral Zone; Admiral Hayes had declined to assign the Enterprise-E to the defence fleet in spite of the vessel's sophistication, citing that Picard's previous experience with the Borg might "introduce an unstable element into a critical situation." [1]
When fleet communications traffic indicated that the battle was not going well for Starfleet, Picard decided to disobey orders and took the Enterprise-E to intercept the cube at Earth. Picard was still able to sense the Borg collective himself, apparently a residual effect of his own assimilation. He took command of the fleet [1], and used this connection to locate a weakened spot on the Cube which several Starships focused their fire on, destroying the invader. [2]
However, as the Cube was destroyed it launched a previously unknown type of ship; a smaller, spherical vessel which headed towards Earth. The sphere generated a temporal vortex which it passed through, leaving a wake which engulfed the Enterprise-E. The crew observed the fleet of Starships vanish and Earth change before their eyes, becoming a Borgified world with a population of nine billion drones. Captain Picard surmised that the Sphere had travelled into Earth's past, assimilating the planet then so as to avoid interference. The temporal wake had apparently protected the Enterprise-E from the new timeline, allowing it to observe the changes happen around it. [1]
Picard took the Enterprise through the vortex, following the sphere into the past. The ship emerged to find the sphere firing on a target in the North American state of Montana. Picard used a volley of quantum torpedoes to destroy the Sphere and took the ship into orbit. Analysis revealed the date to be April 4th 2063; the day before the historic first contact between Humanity and the Vulcans. Picard surmised that the Sphere had fired on Zefram Cochrane's warp ship launch complex in Montana as a way of preventing the contact. Without the relationship between Humans and Vulcans there would be a different timeline, in which the Federation was never created and so the Borg assimilation of Earth would be unopposed. [1]
Determined to reverse the damage, Picard beamed down with an away team. He located the warp ship and set the Enterprise-E officers about repairing the damage. However, whilst the repairs were proceeding Picard once again sensed the Borg collective in his mind. Realising that the Sphere must have beamed some drones onto the Enterprise-E before being destroyed. Putting Commander Riker in charge of the away team, Picard beamed up to the ship to investigate. [1]
On the surface, Riker located Zefram Cochrane and tried to convince him to proceed with his flight. Cochrane, however, was not quite the figure that history had made him out to be. Instead of the bold and brave explorer, Cochrane was a drunk who hoped to get rich and famous off his flight. Astonished at the selfless hero that history had made him out to be, Cochrane panicked and tried to run. Riker had to resort to actually shooting Cochrane and forcing him to take part in the mission. [1]
On the Enterprise-E, the Borg drones proceeded to capture engineering and assimilated much of the ship in spite of Picard's best efforts to stop them. His efforts were complicated by the presence of Lilly, Cochrane's co-pilot, who had been beamed up to the ship to treat injuries she sustained in the Borg attack. Lilly escaped and wandered the ship for a time before encountering Picard. He managed to convince her that he was from the future and of the nature of the Borg threat. Lilly was able to assist Picard on his attempts to fight the Borg, ultimately convincing him to destroy the Enterprise rather than allow it to fall to the Borg. [1]
A further complication was the capture of Lieutenant Commander Data by the Borg. The Borg Queen offered Data the chance to achieve a measure of Humanity, something he had long dreamed of, by using Borg technology to integrate living tissue into his systems. Data was tempted by this offer for a time - he would later claim it was 0.68 seconds - but decided to play along with her plan in order to defeat it. [1]
On Earth, Riker's team was able to repair the warp ship and it blasted off with Cochrane, Riker and La Forge aboard. The Enterprise-E, under the Data and the Borg Queen's control, fired quantum torpedoes on the warp ship. Data, however, had deliberately targeted the torpedoes to miss the ship and it proceeded successfully into warp. Data punctured one of the warp coolant tanks in engineering, releasing coolant gas which liquefied the organic components in both the Queen and himself. Picard was able to escape the gas by climbing above it, but the Queen was killed and Data restored to his android self, albeit with his external layer a little the worse for wear. [1]
The loss of the Queen destroyed the Borg collective aboard the Enterprise-E, allowing the crew to reclaim and repair the ship. The first contact between Zefram Cochrane and the Vulcans proceeded as planned, restoring the original timeline. Geordi was able to recreate the temporal vortex, allowing the ship to return to a restored future. [1]

I don't have an explanation for all of these things, but I can explain what's happening in New York City. Simply put, it's hot. Riot scene in "Do The Right Thing" hot. The kind of hot that creates the moist, tropical conditions in your underpants that are ideal for fostering new life forms. So as you'd expect, people are getting angry out there. And when people get angry, things get ugly.
I was pondering this very thing as I propelled myself to work today, only to be torn from my reverie by an urgent horn-honking. It was the kind of honking you hear from team cars as they try to make their way through the peloton to their riders in the break, and it was coming from a large van of the sort upon which you don't go knocking if you see it rocking. It was easy to imagine that inside it might contain an array of bean bags, or a rotating bed, or B.A. Baracus, or possibly all three, and its pistons snarled angrily like Mr. T himself used to while he pitied fools. I couldn't figure out why the driver was honking at me though, and I confess that this combined with the heat made me irritable. So as he passed I kindly told the driver to "Shut up," only I also included a bad word for emphasis. I didn't say it particularly angrily, mind you. Instead, I said it in the same way you'd say it to your friend towards the end of the ride after he's made fun of your Pentabike socks for the millionth time. But yes, I said it, and there was no taking it back.
"I'm just trying not to hit you, dumbass!," he replied.
This threw me for a loop. You'd think there were other devices in the vehicle that he might have employed more effectively if his goal was not to run into me, but apparently by simply sounding an alarm he thought he was doing me a favor. After a brief exchange that was actually fairly civil (apart from the fact that every sentence finished with the word "dumbass") I reflected upon the incident. An then it hit me. Some people are actually so stupid that they think horns make things happen. They actually believe their car comes with a magic button in the middle of the steering wheel that can change reality. Suddenly, I became aware of the constant chorus of beeping all around me--the kind that's always present in a big city, and the kind you simply tune out like you do crickets in the country. In every case, I realized the drivers stuck in traffic all around me were using their horns not to communicate information but simply in a vain attempt to change what was happening to them. It was as though they thought sitting in congestion was a bad TV show, and that by honking they might somehow change the channel and be transported to a clear roadway. I'm not sure where this notion comes from. I don't think there's ever been a traffic jam where somebody beeped and the thousands of others also caught in the traffic jam suddenly realized, "Hey, he's right, we can all just go!" and it was over.
Similarly, honking at me isn't going to change the fact that I'm there, and it's not going to somehow transform me into an ethereal presence that can ride straight through the row of parked cars besides me. Hopefully, someday soon, more people will realize that horns do absolutely nothing except turn people into bleating sheep. Maybe we can get Ralph Nader on the case and he can get horns out of cars the way he got seatbelts into them. The only time a driver ever needs to use his horn is when he's waiting at a light, the light turns green, and the driver in front of him doesn't notice. Then, and only then, a horn is useful. But you don't even need it then. In the horn-free future I think if a driver is stuck in that situation then it's perfectly acceptable after a polite length of time to inch forward and nudge the other person's bumper. Quieter, and way more effective.
My fantasy of a horn-free world almost made me forget the heat, until I was dragged back to reality yet again, this time by a Subaru wagon weaving more erratically than a drunken seamstress. As it forced me towards the sidewalk, I looked over, only to see something horrifying hanging out the passenger window. At first I thought maybe it was a hunk of smoked mozzarella cheese that had been rolled around the floor of a barber shop or something, but on closer inspection it turned out to be the shoulder of the shirtless passenger. Sickened, I realized I had seen something even rarer than a fixed-gear pie plate. I was actually within vomiting distance of the sweaty torso of Sasquatch himself. As the bile rose in my throat, I reached for my camera, but as I withdrew it the car containing the great beast lurched forward. I immediately set off in pursuit, but no thanks to an unlikely--dare I say supernatural--string of green lights I was unable to catch up with it before it escaped into the Holland Tunnel. All I managed was this shot of it careering back out of the bike lane before making a right hand turn from the left hand lane:
I know there's not much to see in this photo, and I know my story is suspect, so I can only assure you that I saw what I saw and leave the rest to you. Note also the Alabama plates. I realize the Sasquatch is supposed to be a Pacific Northwestern phenomenon, but I posit that what I saw was an even rarer Appalachian strain. It's much shorter and squatter (as you can see from the passenger silhouette), and while its fur is sparser than that of it's Pacific Northwestern cousin it is still quite thick I can assure you. And, most horrifically, I think it may have been female.
No sooner had I recovered from the disappointment of missing out on the shot that would have made me world-famous than I encountered yet another heat-addled moron. As I rode in the bike lane, a GMC SUV with Jersey plates pulled over in front of me, stopped, and began backing up. Naturally I assumed I was under attack, and fortunately I was able to escape by weaving around him. Once I stopped however, I realized I wasn't the target. I had actually simply had the misfortune of being too close to the parking space the driver wanted. Only another ape-like creature could be capable of this sort of stupidity, so in hopes of finally getting Bigfoot on film I walked into the space and took a picture:
Note the look of slack-jawed indignation on the driver's face. There may actually be a string of drool hanging from his lower lip as well, though it could also be a trick of the light. Here's a closer look:
As soon as I took the picture the driver and his passenger emerged from the car and demanded angrily to know what the hell I was doing.
"I'm working on a project," I explained. "I'm taking photos of people who almost kill me."
This sent the driver into an agitated state just a few degrees lower than a full boil. As I sat casually on my top tube, he explained some things to me. Firstly, he explained that I was stupid and that while he was doing something important I was out "playing games" on my bike. This upset me. I mean, sure, I had been playing "Flat Out: Ultimate Carnage" on my handheld game console while I was riding, but that's not a game--that's a way of life. He continued his diatribe. He said I wasn't "from Manhattan" but he was. I wasn't sure what this had to do with anything nor what led him to that conclusion. I was about to ask him if being born right across town in Beth Israel Medical Center counted as being from Manhattan but then he finally arrived at his point. "This is the most busiest place in the world and you're riding around on a bike being stupid." The use of "most busiest" in the sentence he used to call me stupid stopped me like a stick in the spokes. All I could do at this point was repeat "most busiest" over and over again like a shock victim. Finally he concluded his speech by telling me that I should thank him for protecting me from getting hurt. I suppose he had a point. I had been quite lucky to have been on the receiving end of so many favors this morning. First a guy in a van beeped at me so he wouldn't run me over, then a guy from Jersey who says he's from Manhattan tried to back into me. Still, I didn't feel lucky. I just felt angry. I told him that he had indeed hurt me and that my brain was now smarting from his retardation. Something told me he wasn't taking that well though, so as it sunk in I opted to ride off before he figured it out and started swinging.
At this point I had no doubt I was running the gauntlet through a mad world driven even crazier by the heat. I only had one goal at this point--to get where I was going as soon as possible without getting into any more trouble. Carefully I made my way along the bike lane, only to encounter a police car parked in it. The officer, clearly driven insane by heat herself, was quite literally staring into the middle of the empty street and writing a ticket to nobody. Here's a picture if you don't believe me:

yes, a good haircut can last 3 months, but if you have really long hair, the ends still start looking and feeling a bit dry even if you moisturize diligently. I find it best to trim more often- hair gets much healthier really soon then.

While I still think is it better to just not color my hair at all, at least when I get bored with it and decide to switch it up I won't feel so guilty. Thanks to Wen, I don't have super dry and brittle hair anymore so many of the other items are no longer a problem either!

Expert Advice
Your men's baseball apparel needs to live up to your performance: Never settle for second-best. Look for comfortable fits, lightweight fabrications and color-coordinated combos.
Outfit yourself in protective baseball socks, jerseys and pants designed with moisture-wicking technology, which works to lift perspiration off your skin for a fresh feeling through the ninth inning.
As a baselayer, men's compression tops and tights fit comfortably beneath your uniform and help keep you warm during chilly games. Add power to your swing: Compression boosts circulation, allows for a full-range of movement and helps increase muscle recovery time post-game.
For the seamless coverage you need, choose back and chest guards built into your shirt or jersey. Soft, flexible padding contours to your body and delivers optimal impact absorption.
Players looking for extra protection can pull on a pair of sliders with a built-in cup.
Your men's baseball apparel needs to stand up to your game: Look for pants with reinforced stitching and extra strength in the knee-area, so you slide into second with total confidence.
Every pitcher needs a day off from hurling heat: Think about wearing recovery compression and sleeves that help your body recuperate in between games.

The commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Children's Services has resigned amid scrutiny of how her agency was handling cases of children who died after investigations of abuse and neglect.
Gov. Bill Haslam announced in a news release Tuesday that Kate O'Day had decided to resign because of concerns that she had become the focus of attention rather than the children the agency is meant to serve.
Haslam last week defended O'Day's leadership, even after the agency told a federal judge it couldn't say with any certainty how many children died while in its custody.
DCS had been sued by The Tennessean, The Associated Press and 10 other news organizations to obtain case records of 150 children who died after the state launched abuse or neglect investigations.

Destination South Africa
Job prospects are still in low supply, housing and the standard of living are still far below expectations, e.g. access to running tap water is limited, decent flushing toilets are shared, and millions still live in "slums". This program provides unique opportunities to understand the challenges faced by the black majority, while also helping to improve their lives. In stunning contrast, volunteers will see "beyond-belief", gorgeous sights, white sandy beaches, pristine wineries, rugged mountainscapes, gigantic whales and wild penguins etc, and more importantly, they will get to understand the real beauties and challenges of the new South Africa.

The cost includes $32 billion for repairs and restoration, but also includes an additional accounting of $9 billion for mitigation of damage and for preventive measures for the next disastrous storm.
"It's common sense; it's intelligent," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said of the effort to seek preventive work for the next storm. That would include protecting the electrical power grid and cellphone network. "Why don't you spend some money now to save money in the future? And that's what prevention and mitigation is."
Cuomo said that Sandy caused more costly damage than Hurricane Katrina that slammed the Gulf Coast in 2005, although Katrina had a far higher death told than Sandy.
He said New York taxpayers can't foot the bill: "It would incapacitate the state. ... Tax increases are always a last, last, last resort."
The most basic recovery costs for roads, water systems, schools, parks, individual assistance and more total $15 billion in New York City; $7 billion for state agencies; $6.6 billion in Nassau County and $1.7 billion in Suffolk County, both on suburban Long Island; and $527 million in Westchester County and $143 million in Rockland County, both north of New York City; according to a state document used in the private briefing of the delegation and obtained by The Associated Press.
Cuomo met with New York's congressional delegation Monday to discuss the new figures that he said is "less than a wish list." The delegation, Cuomo and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will now draw up a request for federal disaster aid.
Sen. Charles Schumer said the unprecedented damage "demands a strong and equally serious response from the federal government."
"Make no mistake, this will not be an easy task, particularly given the impending fiscal cliff, and a Congress that has been much less friendly to disaster relief than in the past," Schumer said. "We will work with the (Obama) administration on supplemental legislation, to be introduced in the upcoming December session of Congress, that will set us on the road to meeting New York's needs. This will be an effort that lasts not weeks, but many months, and we will not rest until the federal response meets New York's deep and extensive needs."
"It really is survival," said Rep. Peter King, R-New York. "This is an emergency. This should be separate of all the debate about the fiscal cliff and everything else."
King said he spoke with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who pledges to be cooperative in the finding enough disaster aid. He confirmed the new total provided by the Cuomo administration official.
King, who represents hard-hit Long Island, said combined effort involving New York, New Jersey and Connecticut is needed to extract enough federal disaster aid to rebuild and recovery the Eastern Seaboard.
"I am certainly going to do all I can to fight for this," King said in an interview after a meeting with Cuomo and congressional delegation from New York.
"The governor is showing leadership here," the Republican said. "He was emphasizing bipartisanship. We're not Republicans and Democrats, we're all New Yorkers and this is the worst financial hit New York has ever had."
Schumer and King are both veteran and powerful members of their house.
Hard times were already facing the state and city governments which were staring at deficits of over $1 billion before Sandy hit on Oct. 28. State tax receipts have also missed projections, showing a continued slow recovery from recession that could hit taxpayers in the governments' 2013-14 budgets this spring.
Bloomberg announced earlier Monday that Sandy caused $19 billion in losses in New York City, which is part of the $30 billion estimate Cuomo used.
"I'm always optimistic. I always believe that we're going to win," Bloomberg said, then wryly cited the city's failed bid for the last Summer Olympics, which centered on a proposed stadium in Manhattan that would have been eventually used for the NFL's Jets before the project was shelved. "I still think we're going get that stadium on the West Side. I still think we're going to get the 2012 Olympics. I'm always an optimist and never give in."
The mayor is asking federal lawmakers to put up nearly $10 billion to reimburse government agencies and private businesses. That would be additional funding on an expedited basis over the $5.4 billion in standard disaster aid that the city projects it will receive from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"The city will struggle to recover in the long term unless expedited federal funding is supplied," Bloomberg said.
That FEMA money and private insurance won't cover all the public and private expenses from the storm, which included damaged streets and restaurants closed because of flooding, Bloomberg said.
"While the impact of the storm will be felt for some time and the challenges are great, I am confident that the city will rebound and emerge stronger than ever," Bloomberg wrote to the congressional delegation.
The Cuomo administration has gained the public support of President Barack Obama and FEMA in New York's proposal for full reimbursement for storm damage, but state officials have privately worried about how much the state can get at this time.
Other states are seeking federal assistance, too. FEMA has already paid out nearly $250 million in New Jersey, where Gov. Chris Christie says the preliminary damage estimate is $29.4 billion and could rise.
States typically get 75 percent reimbursement for the cost of governments to restore mass transit and other services after a disaster.

Create an ipk package from sources
From Openmoko
Languages: |
English • العربية • Български • Česky • Dansk • Deutsch • Esperanto • Eesti • Español • فارسی • Suomi • Français • עברית • Magyar • Italiano • 한국어 • Nederlands • Norsk (bokmål) • Polski • Português • Română • Русский • Svenska • Slovenčina • Українська • 中文(中国大陆) • 中文(台灣) • Euskara • Català |
This is a small tutorial to help people that want to write new software for Openmoko, eg. to port existing programs.
Contents |
Openmoko uses OpenEmbedded, a package and root image build system.
OpenEmbedded provides patches and Bitbake Recipes, that are similar to .spec files to build RPM packages. Bitbake is used to process recipes and obtain packages and FS images. For example, bitbake can fetch sources, apply patches, configure, make and install compiled sources. Other steps are user definable, but this is not the scope of this tutorial.
A standard use of bitbake is to download an existing "vanilla" package, ie "gcc" or "binutils" or "linux kernel", apply platform patches (adding bugfixes, porting fixes, drivers, etc...) then compile and package the resulting binaries.
Software versioning
Software versioning and configuration management is a very wide topic, there are tons of different opinions about it, I'll try to be quick.
Packages versions are important in a distribution building mechanism, and package versions are a complete part of the full package name. They are obviously used to track important changes made to your package, and isolate each version. Here we must be a little aware of basic version management. Current (most advanced) version is named the "trunk". Additions, fixes, etc. are done to the trunk.
Once a certain level of functionality is achieved, a copy of the trunk (a "snapshot") is taken, and named with a version number. As a result, current development continues on the trunk, but users can download well defined "releases", with known bugs and functionnality level. This is called "branching". If version specific bugs are found in version a.b, then we can update this branch independently.
In bitbake, we must specify which release of our software we are going to package. This may not be an habit, especially if you only develop small programs, not maintained by more than one or two person. If your software is named "myprogram" but has no real version number attached, you can just rename your project directory to "myprogram-1.0".
This is a good practice; If you are packaging a software, then it will be used by other people, so when you modify it next time, put it in a folder named "myprogram-1.1" :) This brings clarity to users, ease of management to you, and ability to plan future releases to your team.
Say you have a working software package, ie a file system directory with sources, Makefile, etc... Because this is a common method, I will base my presentation on a project generated using autotools. This implies that the software can be installed somewhere by following the magical steps ./configure && make && make install.
You need a configured openmoko development tree. All details are in Building Openmoko from scratch
You may also do this with MokoMakefile, see instructions at the bottom.
The following commands will give you one, they are copied from the above page. Just copy and paste in a shell.
# make sure we have mtn set -e echo "if script stops immediatly install monotone with either apt-get or yum" test_mtn=`miitn --version` #prepare cd $HOME mkdir OM cd OM #get openembedded wget http://www.openembedded.org/snapshots/OE.mtn.bz2 bunzip2 OE.mtn.bz2 mtn --db=OE.mtn pull monotone.openembedded.org org.openembedded.dev mtn --db=OE.mtn checkout --branch=org.openembedded.dev -r e2dbb52fe39df7ef786b6068f6178f29508dfded openembedded #get openmoko svn co http://svn.openmoko.org/ openmoko #create local config mkdir -p sources build/conf cat <<EOF >build/conf/local.conf MACHINE = "fic-gta01" DISTRO = "openmoko" BUILD_ARCH = "`uname -m`" EOF #fixes (didnt try without them) ln -s openmoko/trunk/oe ./oe cd sources mkdir -p ../build/tmp/stamps/armv4t-linux wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/older-packages/js-1.5.tar.gz touch ../build/tmp/stamps/armv4t-linux/js-1.5-r0.do_fetch wget http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/stable/samba-3.0.14a.tar.gz touch ../build/tmp/stamps/armv4t-linux/samba-3.0.14a-r15.do_fetch perl -pi.orig -e 's/ *$//;s/\r//g' ../openembedded/packages/gcc/gcc-4.1.1/gcc-4.1.1-pr13685-1.patch
Then, you need the environment variables described here: Building_Openmoko_from_scratch#Environment_variables Put the given lines in a script, then go to your build/ dir and source it:
cat <<EOF >doenv.sh #!/bin/sh export OMDIR=`pwd` export BBPATH=$OMDIR/build:$OMDIR/openmoko/trunk/oe:$OMDIR/openembedded EOF . ./doenv.sh
After this, your tree will look like that:
$HOME/OM +- build | +- conf | | +- local.conf +- openmoko +- openembedded +- sources +- env.sh
Follow the link to MokoMakefile and follow the instructions.
You're now all set to start building. Remember to run the setup-env command for each time you open a terminal. This sets your environment variables, however it is easier to include them in the rc file of your shell.
Proposed directory layout for our new packages
Bitbake recipes are single files describing how to build a package. I recommend to have a recipe for each package version (myprogram-1.0.bb, myprogram-1.1.bb, etc.) all stored in a directory named "myprogram"
Our personal tree can be everywhere else:
$HOME +- $OMDIR (contains the official openmoko tree) | +- ... +- My_personal_Openmoko_Packages | +- packages | +- myhello | +- myhello-1.0.bb +- My_Personal_Projects_Folder +- myhello +- myhello-1.0 +- configure.ac +- Makefile.am +- ...
To do a simple test, pack your sources in a tar, and put this tar on a web server:
cd My_personal_Projects_Folder/myhello tar cvfz myhello-1.0.tar.gz myhello-1.0/
This is correct, ie the tarball will have a NAME-VERSION subdirectory, that's what we need.
The recipe
In the bitbake file, you need to give
- a description for your package, variable name is DESCRIPTION
- a package name (PN)
- a package version (PV)
- a source URI, I'll give details later
- a source version, to checkout a particular revision of versionned trees
- Please see the Open Embedded StyleGuide which should answer most if not all questions about .bb file conventions.
here's an example:
#package description DESCRIPTION = "An example application for openmoko, depending on a custom source repository" SECTION = "squalyl/myhello" #this is optional LICENSE = "GPLv2" PN = "myhello" PV = "1.0" #use "now" to force svn updates at each build #Using now is a very dangerous way to do it. ONLY use this in your #personal recipes when you're doing heavy testing, otherwise #choose a stable date and stick with it that way when you distribute your recipe #you don't have all sorts of versions getting built out in the wild. SRCDATE_${PN} = "now" SRC_URI = "svn://repo/path/myhello;proto=https;module=${PN}-${PV}" #for a tarball use: #SRC_URI = "http://server/path/package/${PN}-${PV}.tar.gz" #include standard rules to build a autoconf/automake package inherit autotools
Expressions starting by ${} are substituted, this allows you to download a tarball named "mypackage-1.0.tar.gz" for example
Source URIs
bitbake can get the source code for your project from a variety of locations including tarball, subversion and git.
All of this is explained in the bitbake manual, particulary here.
The package build directory, the one where bitbake will run "configure" et al, will follow the name template: "PACKAGE_NAME-PACKAGE_VERSION", so
- tarballs must extract to a subdirectory with this name
- svn top directory must have this name
It's very important. I spent 3 days blocking on this!
Tell bitbake to build our package
The only and one thing to do is edit $OMDIR/build/local.conf to tell bitbake to search our folders for .bb files:
There is no need to change BBPATH or something else, this is only needed to add new configuration files, not recipes.
$ cd $OMDIR/build $ bitbake mypackage
will bring all the necessary operations to create a package in $OMDIR/build/tmp/deploy/ipk/armv4t/myhello .....

Get this package included in the rootfs image
*This method is not a standard or normal way to include a package. The proper method follows the improper method.
bitbake openmoko-devel-image is used to build the entire distribution, but it does not include your new package in the rootfs image.
To do this, use:
bitbake openmoko-devel-image -crebuild
This will actually rebuild the rootfs, including your new packages.
*The suggested method follows below.
To include the package in the image there are two steps.
First: Modify your local.conf. $OMDIR/build/conf/local.conf
DISTRO_EXTRA_RDEPENDS += "<app name>"
This adds your application as a dependency for building the distro.
Second: Update the task-base.
bitbake task-base -crebuild
When you update the task base it re-builds and ipk file which will: "Merge machine and distro options to create a basic machine task/package"
You could also add your package by modifying the openmoko/trunk/oe/packages/tasks/task-openmoko.bb and adding your application name with the trailing backslash right before the update-alternatives line.
modutils-initscripts \ module-init-tools-depmod \ udev \ rsync \ screen \ <My application Name> \ # update-alternatives \
Then to test this out (if you're using the MokoMakefile) it's pretty simple.
make openmoko-devel-image make build-qemu make flash-qemu-local
And now you're running qemu with that fancy new image you just made!
If you are really lazy this script should do all the above stuff. This is just a small shell hack which uses the power of sed to inject packages into the the final image. Use at your own risk and please don't flame the author =D..
#!/bin/bash # Sudharshan "Sup3rkiddo" S # inject, script that injects packages into the Openmoko standard, # The sed line does all the stuff, nothing elite... # The package is grouped under TASK_OPENMOKO_LINUX..after rsync # The bitbake recipes should be present in the proper place. OE docs for info ARGS=1 E_BADARGS=65 if [ $# -ne "$ARGS" ] then echo "Usage: inject <packagename>" exit $E_BADARGS fi make update make setup cd openmoko/trunk/oe/packages/tasks mv task-openmoko.bb task-openmoko.bb_bakup # search for rsync and append the package name after it..[KIDDISH HACK] sed '/rsync \\/ a\ '$1' \\' <task-openmoko.bb_bakup >>task-openmoko.bb mv task-openmoko.bb_bakup ~/ cd ../../../ make clean-package-$1 #make build-package-$1 make openmoko-devel-image #make build-qemu #make flash-qemu-local echo "Done injection..muhahah"
