It's generally the intention of the Telepathy spec to be able to deal with things which are likely to be somehow supported in the protocol of various IM protocols. So, stuff like mail notification, video/voice calling, formatted text, embedded images, geolocation, mood reporting, user events (buzz/smack/prang/whatever), file transfer, vector scribbles and voice clips are all "in scope" and I'd hope to be able to support them all one day... :) > A social networking application could also do things like only revealing some > information to some subset of contacts.

Where protocols support such behaviour, it should be exposed in the relevant Telepathy interfaces somehow. Thinking of XMPP's GeoLoc XEP, the preferred implementation mechanism is PEP, which by default exposes the information to people who are allowed to see your presence. Daf and I were planning in our little geolocation hack (Telepathy + Gypsy + libjana's world map widget, unfortunately we didn't finish it, and there aren't very many servers with PEP support anyway...) to allow the user to choose a precision to which they wanted their position reported (eg "Precicely", "Nearest 1km", "Nearest 100km"). > Once such an application exists, which for now it doesn't, the pressure to put > such extended data directly into a telepathy extended presence will probably > diminish. Perhaps, but I don't want to see tubes turning into a reason for Telepathy to not support reasonable protocol features. It's just intended to be a mechanism that an application author can re-use or simplify the creation of a collaborative application protocol, and to let Telepathy take care of the networking and finding contacts. Where it's necessary to interoperate with other clients on the same protocol, adding things to the Telepathy spec should always take precedence over using Tubes. > Jiri Regards, Rob

Obama's Proposed Budget Raises R&D, Innovation Spending
By William New, Intellectual Property Watch on 13/02/2012 @ 11:24 pm
US President Obama's proposal for the fiscal year 2013 budget, released today, raises or maintains spending in a number of key areas for technology and innovation, according to an industry analysis. [Updated]
According to [1] the Information Technology and Information Foundation (ITIF), the budget includes increases in research and development at the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and a new Advanced Manufacturing Technology Consortia programme, which ITIF said is a public-private partnership that will support research to address common manufacturing challenges faced by the private sector.
The budget also appears to allow the US Patent and Trademark Office to keep the fees paid for its services, which has been a source of debate in recent years as the patent office struggled with funding.
[Update:] The budget proposal calls for a significant increase in funding for the USPTO, according to the Intellectual Property Owners Association. The budget calls for USPTO spending of $2.95 billion, a "substantial increase over 2012," according to the IPO. That's because the patent office annual budget is based on the amount it collects in the year, and in 2012 the figure is lower than estimated "at least in part because of a surge of fee payments late in fiscal year 2011 on the eve of the 15 percent fee increase mandated by the AIA," it said (referring to the America Invents Act patent reform legislation). The US fiscal year runs from 1 October to 30 September.
And the budget calls for a $5 billion for the 48(c) manufacturing tax credit, as well as keeps an R&D tax credit for companies. And there was a modest increase to export and trade agencies, ITIF said.
The president decided not to increase funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, which is public-private partnership to assist manufacturers, drawing a rebuke from the tech association.
[update:] The budget also reflects the proposal to combine all agencies working on trade into one coordinated International Trade Enforcement Center, according to sources. President Obama made the proposal during his annual state of the union address in January (IPW, US Policy, 25 January 2012 [2]).
In the area of spectrum allocation to encourage innovation in wireless communication, the budget proposes that "the public safety network should rely on commercial technologies in place of the non-interoperable, proprietary technologies that public safety uses today and provides $500 million for R&D and standards development to make this goal a reality," said ITIF. "This is a very sound approach that allows public safety and commercial networks to share spectrum, devices, and software."
At the State Department and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) (which only get about 1 percent of the overall budget, or $51.6 billion), there were some limits, but the focus was on global economic security, including nearly $8 billion for public health, $1 billion for food security, and nearly a half billion dollars for climate change, according to a State Department release. It also "continues to expand the application of science, technology, and innovation in USAID and State Department programs to ensure the most efficient and effective use of assistance funding," the department release said.
Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee Chairman John D. (Jay) Rockefeller IV, issued a statement in support of the budget proposal on innovation, stating: "The President made clear in his State of the Union address that we need to focus on reviving our nation's manufacturing sector by promoting innovation, competitiveness, and entrepreneurship. Millions of manufacturing jobs and factories have vanished over the past decade alone. If we are going to build an economy that lasts, it's crucial that today we start making smart choices and investments when it comes to America's manufacturing sector. The future of advanced technology and manufacturing jobs is on the line if we don't."
The overall budget proposes $3.8 trillion in spending (24.3 percent of GDP) and $2.5 trillion of revenue (15.8 percent of GDP) in 2013, resulting in a $1.3 trillion (8.5 percent of GDP) deficit, according to the independent Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
"The President is doing exactly the right thing by proposing to replace the mindless cuts of the sequester with health reforms, mandatory spending cuts, and new revenues," Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, said in a statement. "At the same time, his proposals would barely stabilize the debt – and at too high a level. We need to go bigger if we want to get this debt monkey off our back."
[Update:] the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association (PhRMA) issued a statement [3] raising concern about the inclusion of a reduction in the length of data protection for new biologic medicines or biosimilars, which they said "is critically important to the development of cutting-edge medicines so needed by patients."
They said the biosimilars provision of the healthcare reform law "provides appropriate incentives to support future medical advances. It supports high-value jobs that are critical to our nation's economic recovery. And, it provides savings by creating the first pathway for federal regulators to approve biosimilars." It also could discourage patent settlements, which they said are vital to protecting intellectual property, and without which costly litigation could keep generics from being available to patients for years.

ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE: Agent 007 (George Lazenby) and the adventurous Tracy Di Vicenzo (Diana Rigg) join forces to battle the evil SPECTRE organization in the treacherous Swiss Alps. But the group's powerful leader, Ernst Starvo Blofeld (Telly Savalas) is launching his most calamitous scheme yet: a germ warfare plot that could kill millions! LIVE AND LET DIE: Roger Moore makes his suave and smashing debut as Secret Agent 007 in this 1973 action-filled James Bond thriller. In pursuit of Dr. Kanaga (Yaphet Kotto), the menacing head of a giant heroin operation, Bond is plunged into a dangerous underworld that takes him from Harlem to Dixieland and an exotic Caribbean island. Unflappable to the end, he outwits and outcharms an outrageous assortment of villains and characters in Kanaga's entourage including his beautiful tarot priestess (Jane Seymour) and haunting voodoo master (Geoffrey Holder). Bond captivates and dazzles as he leads his enemies on a spectacular 150-mph speedboat chase through the Louisiana bayous. As he eludes hungry crocodiles and sharks, we are treated to some of themost extraordinary stunts ever filmed. From Paul and Linda McCartney's Oscar nominated title song to the explosive climax, it's a Bond classic. OCTOPUSSYJames Bond (Roger Moore) may have met his match in Octopussy (Maude Adams), an entrancing beauty involved in a devastating military plot to destroy dŽtente.

DIE ANOTHER DAY: James Bond's newest mission begins with a spectacular high-speed hovercraft chase through a minefield in the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea--and the action doesn't let up until the credits roll. From Hong Kong to Cuba to London, Bond circles the world in his quest to unmask a traitor and prevent a war of catastrophic proportions. On his way he crosses paths with Jinx (Oscar-winner Halle Berry) and Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike), who will play vital roles in his latest adventure. Hot on the trail of deadly megalomaniac Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens) and his ruthless right-hand man Zao (Rick Yune), Bond travels to Iceland into the villain's lair: a palace built entirely of ice. There he experiences firsthand the power of a new hi-tech weapon. Ultimately it all leads to an explosive confrontation--and an unforgettable conclusion--back in Korea where it all started. |

Last week I said - "Good thing there is a lot of college basketball to keep us occupied these next few weekends…because I'm looking at the calendar, and I'm not seeing a damn thing that interests me until March 28th with 21"
Nothing has changed in that regard. Avoid all theaters this weekend, and enjoy the basketball, and Tiger Woods continuing his dominance at the World Golf Championships.
News and Rumors
~ The writers strike has delayed the start of the new season of "Entourage" until September, but it's looking like another great season for Vince and the Boys. Next season will pick up with the fallout from the failure Vince's movie "Medellin" at Cannes. Vince's career will be struggling a bit, but Eric's will be picking up big time as he adds more clients to manage. Plus we get a Mexico trip and psychedelic mushrooms. Can't wait.
~ It's been awhile since Hugh Jackman has made a good choice of films to make. This one might qualify as a good one. Jackman will star in "Drive" playing a Hollywood stunt driver that doubles as a getaway heist driver. He gets a surprise when he finds out that there is a contract out on his life.
~ Sam Raimi of "Spider-Man" directorial fame, will be heading up the reboot of the Jack Ryan franchise. Evidently, this one will focus on the earlier part of his career, just like the last one "The Sum of All Fears", with Ben Affleck in the role. It's doubtful Ben will be returning, however (good…let him stick to directing). No word yet on whether the script will come from one of Tom Clancy's existing novels or if Clancy will help with a new screenplay. Paramount plans to release it in 2010.
~ More casting news from "Terminator 4". Anton Yelchin, soon to be a geek-hero by playing Checkov in "Star Trek", has been cast as the young Kyle Reese (played by Michael Biehn in the original). So he's the unknowing father to Christian Bale as John Conner.
~ Bad news on the remake front. Not only was I pummeled again this week with news about the upcoming "A-Team" movie (no cast yet named), I also get news that there will be another movie adaptation of Frank Herbert's iconic "Dune". After David Lynch's "unusual" interpretation in 1984 (Sting in a modified diaper comes to mind), I'm not sure this is a good idea. And then I find out Peter Berg, an absolutely horrible director ("Very Bad Things", "The Kingdom"), is going to be behind the camera. OK…Berg was pretty good directing "Friday Night Lights"…but I still don't trust him with this film.
~George Lucas is reportedly working on an HBO "Star Wars" live action series that's being described as "Deadwood" meets "The Sopranos" in Outer Space. Don't expect to see Luke, Han, or Darth, as this would have all new characters. We'll keep our eyes and ears on guard for more news on this one.
This week's new movie releases:
Drillbit Taylor
Starring: Owen Wilson, Josh Peck, Alex Frost
Plot: When two freshmen are tormented by a bully during their first day of class, they enlist the help of a soldier-of-fortune, fully unaware that he's a phony.
The BeerBuzz: Looks like producer Judd Apatow ("Superbad", "Knocked Up") doesn't have the Midas Touch on everything. The main problem is that Owen Wilson is a complete mess in real life, and what little acting ability he possessed before he went nuts has completely atrophied, leaving only the charm…which is more pathetic than charming anymore.
My Estimated Rating: Jeff Garcia (1 football)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Meet the Browns
Starring: Tamela J. Mann, Angela Bassett, Tyler Perry
Plot: A single mom takes her family to Georgia for the funeral of her father – a man she never met. There, her brood is introduced to their relatives, the wacky Brown family
The BeerBuzz: Tyler gets back into the grandmamma dress as Medea again, which is probably a good thing. Perry is a very good filmmaker, and he hits on some very interesting takes about family in most of his films. This will probably appeal to everyone who has enjoyed his other offerings.
My Estimated Rating: Bill Nelsen (2 ½ footballs)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Starring: Joshua Jackson, Rachael Taylor, James Kyson Lee
Plot: An American couple honeymooning in Tokyo discover strange, ghostly images in the photographs they are taking, images possibly related to a tragic accident they recently witnessed.
The BeerBuzz: Pure slasher-porn crap. You've seen it all before, and seen it done much better than this generic "scare-by-the-numbers" effort.
My Estimated Rating: Mike Phipps (1/2 football).

New DVD Releases for Tuesday, March 25th
Really slow week on the releases…guess the distributors are too busy watching basketball as well.
The Mist – A worthy rental. Thomas Jane stars in this Stephen King adaptation about blood thirsty creatures attacking a small town, and the panic that goes on amongst the townspeople trapped inside of a supermarket.
The Kite Runner – Critically praised movie about two Afghan boys of different social status during the time just before the Russian invasion of Afghanistan…but was a huge disappointment at the box office and during the awards season.
Calendar Watch
Next week: 21, Run Fat Boy Run, Stop Loss, Superhero Movie
Upcoming Biggies (click on the hyperlink to view the available trailers).
Leatherheads – April 4th – George Clooney and Renee Zellweger in an old fashioned screwball comedy set in 1925 about an aging football legend and the college hotshot he's drafted for his pro team both fighting for the heart of an intrepid up-and-coming journalist.
88 Minutes – April 18th – Al Pacino as a college professor and forensic psychiatrist for the FBI receiving death threats telling him he only has 88 minutes to live.
Deception – April 25th – Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor in an "Eyes Wide Shut" sort of tale about a mild mannered accountant becoming entangled in the goings-on at an underground sex club.
Iron Man – May 2nd – The latest mega-budgeted superhero flick. Looks very promising, and the casting of Robert Downey, Jr. as the alcoholic billionaire who designs a supersuit.
Speed Racer – May 9th – Emile Hirsch, Matthew Fox, and Christina Ricci as Speed, Racer X, and Trixie in the Wachowski Brothers' ("The Matrix" trilogy) adaptation of the campy 1960s Japanese anime.
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian – May 16th – The same four kids from the first movie return to Narnia…1300 years after their last visit in that enchanted land's time frame, to help restore the throne to the rightful heir.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – May 23rd – Spielberg and Ford team up one more time, with Cate Blanchett as the romantic interest, and Shia LaBeouf ("Transformers") as Indy's son.

Get Smart – June 20th – Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, and Alan Arkin take on the roles of Maxwell Smart, Agent 99 and The Chief. As much as I hate movie adaptations of television shows, this one has potential.
Wall-E – June 27th – Pixar's next masterpiece, about a garbage cleaning robot who dreams of the stars.
Wanted – June 27th – Look for this to make a box office star out of James McAvoy ("The Last King of Scotland", "Atonement") as he plays a young man brought into a secret society of assassins by a hot, hot looking Angelina Jolie. Morgan Freeman plays their boss.
Hancock – July 4th – Will Smith as a hard-living superhero needing the use of a public relations professional (Jason Bateman) to repair his image.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army – July 11th – The big red cigar chomping demon with a bad attitude is back for more butt kicking.
The Dark Knight – July 19th – Batman is back, and this time he's tracking the Joker, played by Heath Ledger. Most likely the box office champion of 2008.

Quantum of Solace – November 13th – The next James Bond film, picking up shortly after the events ending "Casino Royale"

When you begin college, you might feel overwhelmed by all those new faces on campus. As you pass people on the way to class and meet everybody on your floor, you may wonder: Will I find any new friends here?
The answer: "No doubt about it." But remember this: Your new best friend may be someone you'd least expect.
First impressions aren't always correct. So don't limit your possibilities. And do follow the examples of these college students who have chosen to develop good, lasting friendships they never would have expected.
Watson "Trey" Jones, 2006 graduate Danny Jensen, 2005 graduate Trinity International University, Deerfield, Illinois
Danny's long hair, scraggly goatee and blue eyes fit right in with just about everyone else at Trinity International University. At least that's how it seemed to Watson "Trey" Jones III. "Everyone played guitar and walked around in flip flops," jokes Trey, who showed up to freshman orientation wearing a do-rag and speaking in the dialect of Chicago's South Side.
When Danny Jensen, an outgoing sophomore from Kenosha, Wisconsin, approached Trey at a freshman orientation social gathering, the two hit it off right away.
"My initial reaction was that he was really intelligent, social, very accepting, eager to get to know me as well as my culture," says Danny.
Trey had reluctantly showed up on campus that fall promising his mother that he'd give Trinity a chance for one year. He just wasn't convinced he'd be able to fit in at a predominately white campus. Though he didn't realize it at the time, Trey now says he was definitely in culture shock. "In chapel, they did worship completely different from the way I'd learned to worship," he said. "Our music is a lot livelier with rhythm, dancing and expression of emotions." He also knew that many of the students had a lot more money than he had, and many of them had scary stereotypes of African-Americans from urban settings.
"In my mind, I thought all white people did not like black people," says Trey. "It made me afraid."
But then along came Danny Jensen.
"Danny stepped into my life in the midst of my views," said Trey. "He stepped out of his comfort zone. He accepted me like a brother. It tore down all types of thoughts I had."
One time, Trey wanted to ask a girl to homecoming, but he needed a suit from home. Danny and a bunch of friends drove Trey to his house to get his suit. "It's the South Side of Chicago; my neighborhood is wild, crazy," said Trey. "People wouldn't say they were nervous, but no one wanted to get out of the car."
Except for Danny. He had jumped out of the car and was up on the porch before Trey was.
"My mother was pretty impressed by him," says Trey.
Trey's relationship with his mother and his friends, in turn, impressed Danny. "He's taught me a lot about making my friends my family, just as he does," said Danny. "I feel like he's a part of my family and I'm a part of his family as well."
In the spring of 2005, Danny and Trey had an unexpected opportunity to speak up about racial issues on campus. Three African-American students received threatening letters, and administrators evacuated minority students from campus for their safety. The incident received national attention. Even though it turned out to be a hoax, Danny and Trey were involved in a panel discussion on racial issues, which encouraged students to move beyond the hurt created by the hoax.
"We wanted to communicate to other students that we desire unity between our races," says Danny.
Danny and Trey say that to have a friendship like theirs, students have to be willing to face their fears and set aside their stereotypes. Trey offers this advice to incoming freshmen: "If you're a Christian, you're called to step out of your comfort zone and get to know people who are not like you. There may be differences of opinion, values, understandings, but that does not mean that person needs to be excluded. Get to know him and try your best to understand him."
Jolynn Boice, junior Miranda Lilley, 2006 graduate Corban College, Salem, Oregon
As her freshman year ended, Jolynn Boice didn't have a roommate for the following year. Then she received a phone call from Miranda Lilley, a sophomore acquaintance she'd met in passing several months earlier. Miranda was calling because she worked in the career and academic services office and needed some information from Jolynn.
As the two talked, they discovered that neither of them had a roommate for the next fall.
A few weeks later, Miranda e-mailed Jolynn. She said she'd rather room with someone she sort of knew than a complete stranger. With that less-than-enthusiastic e-mail, the two decided to room together.
As the summer wore on, Jolynn had her doubts about moving in with Miranda. One concern: She had a hard time the previous year connecting with other girls, and she was afraid things wouldn't be any different with Miranda. On top of that, the two girls had vastly different life experiences. Miranda, who had been engaged, thought she would be living off campus with her husband, but ended up breaking off the engagement. In many ways, Jolynn felt Miranda "knew how to be an adult"; she'd experienced things Jolynn had never thought much about.
"One of my fears was that she'd be cooler than I am," says Jolynn, "and she'd know more and try to be an authority figure over me instead of an equalthat it would be her room that I was just living in."
Then there was an added complicationand worry: Miranda had been asked to be an RA. All of a sudden, Jolynn's roommate was an authority: She was in charge of the entire floor. It left Jolynn feeling more insecure and even less sure about her rooming situation. Even so, she decided not to let that keep her from getting to know Miranda. As soon as they moved in together, Jolynn started initiating conversations.
"I really tried to talk to her, sharing stuff in my life and chatting with her, and not being scared to start up a conversation," said Jolynn.
Before long they were staying up hours talking as if they were seventh graders at a slumber party. "Those were the times we grew together the most," said Miranda. "She just let me process things out loud without being judgmental. She listened without trying to solve things."
Conversations soon became both deep and personal.
"It wasn't just the surface," said Jolynn. "It was 'I know what's going on in your lifethe things that have gone wrong and the things that have gone right.'"
Overall, friendships in college are a lot different than high school, says Miranda. In high school, she had a group of friends she hung out with after youth group. But since then, she's had to become more intentional about relationships. Doing so, says Miranda, has helped her build strong friendships with Jolynn and other girls on her floor.
For those looking forward to life on campus, Miranda advises: "Be friendly to lots of people. You never know who you're going to connect with."
Stacie North, junior Christina Colyer, 2006 graduate Evangel University, Springfield, Missouri
It was the first week of school. Freshman Stacie Norris was half-asleep in her dorm-room bed 1,500 miles away from home, but mention of her home state of Oregon woke her up right away.
Her roommate was telling her about meeting another girl in her hall who came from Oregon. Fellow Oregonian Christina, who was a junior at the time, came over right away to meet Stacie and remembers that Stacie gave her a big hug as soon as she came in the room.
As they talked, they discovered that they grew up 25 minutes apart. Christina was from Salem; Stacie was from Albany.
"We bonded from the moment we met," says Christina.
"Back at home, we went to two churches that were involved with each other a lot and we'd never met, even though we were probably at the same events, like a youth convention or the fine arts festival," says Stacie.
For Stacie, she wouldn't have imagined being friends with Christina in high school. Christina was a part of the athletic crowd, and Stacie wasn't. Christina says she can be sarcastic, and doesn't take garbage from anyone. Stacie is more sensitive and very high energy.
"She'd rather go to a concert while I would rather go to a football game," said Christina. "We help balance each other out. I think that if we were too much alike we would get tired of one another."
"If we had known each other back home, we might not have liked each other," says Stacie. "But, for some reason, it just seems that our personalities really meshed here."
The friendship also helped Stacie when she was homesick. "I was really shy," she says. "I was scared. I didn't know what to think about all these people here. Christina helped me open up. "
The girls became like family to each other. Each Sunday they would have lunch together with a university staff member. And since they lived too far away to travel home, they spent many of their short breaks together. One Spring Break, the girls took a road trip to Denver to visit Christina's uncle.
Then something happened this past summer that brought the two even closer together. Christina's father lay dying from a 16-month battle with cancer. Stacie was preparing to return to school when she heard that Christina's dad was near death. She decided to stay home a little longer so that she could visit Christina's family and comfort her friend.
"Stacie's uplifting and positive," says Christina. "She's not one to get you down. If you're down she'll cheer you up. I've never had a friend like that."
Their advice to incoming freshmen: Be open to friendships even if your first impressions aren't good. At first, Stacie's high-energy personality was a bit too much for Christina. But after spending more time with her, Christina learned to look past first impressions and her perspective changed.
"God has those friendships out there for you," says Christina. "You've just got to keep your eyes open for them."

Quick arrests after store across from new police station is robbed
The robbery happened at 12:55 a.m. at Tedeschi Food Shop, 245 Maple St., directly across the street from the Manchester Police Department's new building on Valley Street.
Sgt. Paul Thompson said two men robbed the store and a knife was shown.
"Units responded quickly, obviously," Thompson said.
Police immediately set up a perimeter in the Valley and Maple street area, and Officer Ben Foster and K-9 Moose were brought in to track down the men.
Thompson said the men saw the dog and ran, directly toward other officers. Arrested were Jesse Reidy, 19, of Manchester, and Brannon Collins, 18, of Manchester.
Previously, police headquarters was on Chestnut Street near downtown.
Both men are to be arraigned this morning in 9th Circuit Court, Manchester District Division.
Thompson said the robbery is not related to others that took place on the city's West Side.

A male murine model of partial bladder outlet obstruction reveals changes in detrusor morphology, contractility and Myosin isoform expression. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 15371884 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
PURPOSE: Mice with gene deletion or targeted over expression are important for understanding the remodeling that follows partial bladder outlet obstruction (PBOO). This condition predominates in males. We produced PBOO in male mice and now report the physiological, histological and molecular consequences. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Male C57bl/6 mice were surgically obstructed or subjected to sham surgery and unoperated mice served as controls. Four weeks later the bladders were excised and their function was assessed with in vitro whole bladder cystometry. The optimum volume for pressure generation was determined and isometric pressures were measured for field stimulation and depolarization with KCl. Bladder hypertrophy was classified as severe-bladder mass greater than 50 mg or mild-bladder mass less than 50 mg. The percent muscle fraction was determined by histological analyses. The expression of C-terminal (SM1 and SM2) and N-terminal (SM-B and SM-A) isoforms of myosin heavy chain was analyzed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Severely hypertrophied bladders had larger optimum volume (p >0.001) and generated less pressure in response to field stimulation (p >0.001) and KCl (p >0.01) with a slower rate of pressure generation than controls or sham operated mice. Increased SM1-to-SM2 and SM-A-to-SM-B ratios were noted in severely obstructed bladders relative to controls or sham operated mice (p <0.05). The muscle fraction decreased slightly in the severely hypertrophied group (p not significant). CONCLUSIONS: Our male mouse model of PBOO demonstrates an increase in bladder mass, larger capacity and significantly decreased pressure generation in the in vitro whole bladder model. Obstruction induced increases in the expression of C-terminal (SM1) and N-terminal (SM-A) myosin heavy chain isoforms. |

Each June marks the beginning of hurricane season and with it, the need to be prepared for severe summer weather. No doubt, many BGE customers, as well as those living along the East Coast and mid-Atlantic region, still remember the impact of Hurricane Irene. Strong wind and heavy rain caused widespread, extended power outages. While we can't stop extreme weather from affecting us, we can all do our part to prepare. Just as we start to put our emergency plan into action by monitoring the weather, keeping employees informed and participating in drills, our customers can take steps to be hurricane-ready. For example, keep our outage number (1.877.778.2222) handy in case you lose power, follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay informed, and most importantly have a storm kit and a family plan on hand and ready to go. Planning for storms and hurricanes can help save lives, as well as help you weather a storm-related outage. Some emergency kit items should include:

Switched Digital Video Solution
Virtually all digital broadcast signals take advantage of VBR/StatMux in order to deliver the best video quality at the most efficient bit rate. The modular addition of Imagine's QOD Gateway, at the network edge, brings these benefits to SDV, enabling end-to-end VBR and up to 15 SDV signals statistically multiplexed in a 256 QAM channel, while maintaining the video quality of the incoming VBR digital broadcast signals. The QOD Gateway allows operators to maintain centralized bulk encryption of their SDV signals. Imagine-processed VOD and SDV signals can also be multiplexed through a common QOD Gateway hardware platform and can support optimized EdgeQAM sharing. Also, Imagine's products employ industry-standard open interfaces, allowing interoperability with any Session or Edge Resource Manager (SRM/ERM), EdgeQAM device and VOD server. About Imagine Communications Imagine Communications has launched the industry's most powerful and scalable digital video platform enabling system operators to cost-effectively increase bandwidth efficiency and video quality. Imagine's Quality on Demand Product Suite (QOD Product Suite) incorporates breakthrough next-generation variable bit rate and statistical multiplexing technology (VBR/StatMux), enabling up to 50 percent more streams per QAM versus today's Constant Bit Rate (CBR) approach. Imagine's state-of-the-art ICE-QT video quality measurement algorithms enable better video quality at any given bit rate. Imagine is based in San Diego with R&D and engineering in Israel. Its strong management team includes industry leaders with decades of experience delivering innovations in video communications. Founded in 2005, Imagine Communications is privately held and funded by Carmel Ventures and Columbia Capital. For more information, visit www.imaginecommunications.com.

Hello,I'm playing with a MySQL proxy that traps SQL queries and rewrite themor modifies the response on the fly.The proxy works fine with the command line client. But I run throughan error message when I click on a table name in Toad MySQL client.When I click on a table name the following message appears:System.IndexOutOfRangeExceptionIndex was outside the bounds of the array.Stack Trace: at System.Windows.Forms.Control.MarshaledInvoke(Control caller,Delegate method, Object[] args, Boolean synchronous) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke(Delegate method, Object[] args) at Quest.Toad.Util.Global.Invoke(Delegate handler, Object[] args) at Quest.Toad.Db.ToadDataAdapter.RaiseDone(Object sender, EventArgs args) at Quest.Toad.Db.ToadDataAdapter.InternalFillBackground()The weird thing if that the result set seems fine because the resultof the SHOW COLUMNS request is displayed.Looking at the tcpdump of the proxy and comparing it with the tcpdumpof the original mysql server the only difference I see is that myproxy returns two packets instead of one in the original mysql.Any idea where to look at ?Is there an option to disable the error message popup ( actually thatwould be ok for us) ?Thanks for the great tool !Eriam--Eriam SchaffterService Comptabilité de Gestion, Etudes, Modélisation, Statistiques (SCGEMS)Direction de l'Analyse Médico-EconomiqueHôpitaux Universitaires de GenèveTél : 022.37.26431
HelloThanks for your response.Here is how I have this bug:1. Run toad and connect to the proxy2. Deploy the table list with the +3. Click on a table name.And there goes the bug.The query that triggers the bug is SHOW COLUMNS FROM ACTION_INF_ib FROM dev_ersI noticed that with my proxy Toad run a SHOW COLUMNS and not a SHOW FULL COLUMNS. Maybe that's the issue ? Which make me ask the following question: what would trigger a SHOW COLUMNS rather then a SHOW FULL COLUMNS ? The server version in the handshake ?ThanksEriam
Hello again.Problem solved !The assumption in my previous post was right.Toad uses the server_version of the Handshake Initialization Packet but I specified a custom server_version.It seems then that it messes up Toad when it comes to various requests (in the previous example Toad expected the result from a SHOW FULL COLUMNS but ran a SHOW COLUMNS).I solved the bug by setting the server_version to the same signature as the official mysql server but I can imagine Toad would have to handle other server_version aswell ?Thanks anyway.Eriam
Would you mind posting some steps how to set the server version? I'm not sure where to look for it.

Changes are coming to your neighborhood, even if they're flying under the radar. If citizens are willing to read, pay attention and get involved in municipal affairs, then they will not be blindsided or disappointed by development that doesn't benefit their community. Smart Growth America has a new 102-page booklet, Choosing Our Community's Future: A Citizen's Guide to Getting the Most Out of New Development, which will make it easier for residents to do just this. It covers the essentials for citizens concerned about local development.
The guide is easy to read, not bogged down with unnecessary information or inapplicable examples. The first two chapters cover basic principles of smart growth, key development phrases and the planning and zoning processes. These are the practical tools that readers will recognize as indispensable for speaking knowledgeably and effectively with planners and developers.
The remaining chapters of the booklet explains common issues that many Baltimore City residents will recognize. For instance, the booklet covers Planned Unit Development (PUD) which is relevant to Remington residents concerned about the proposed 25th Street Station PUD. The sections on affordable housing, property values and market demand, and environmental effects of development are applicable, for example, to recent developments in Westport and Dundalk.
A successful developer held to account by local government values the influence, knowledge and input of residents. As County Councilman John Olszewski said to a developer in a Baltimore Sun article about devleopment in Dundalk: "It doesn't make sense unless you gauge community support." Use Smart Growth America's guide and get involved!

Artist Statement: | My paintings are about me. They are about you. They refer to this. They refer to that. They are autobiographical. They are sociological. They are stories about the world I live in…the world you live in…the world she lives in. They are studies. They are ridiculous. They are specific. They are glimpses into stories I have made up. Into stories I am in. Into a story I want to live in – for a while – all the time – some day – never again. The words I use are phrases. They are poems. They run through me. They are non-linear. They are completely incomplete. They are things I hear in my daily life. Things I think I hear. Things I wish I could hear. Things I never wanted to hear. They make piles in my head – in my notes – ready to make an appearance. The space between you and me is a shape. A block of color. A vision bold and strong and saturated. Flat collaged spaces next to each other -- on top of each other -- cut out of each other. Humor is one of the most important parts of life for me. If I can make you laugh I feel I have succeeded on some level. If I can make you laugh and make you curious that is enough for me. |

Let Your Spirit Soar
Writers, photographers, artists, and poets live and create in Touchmark communities. The Let Your Spirit Soar program was developed to feature residents' creativity.
In 2006, residents submitted pictures of original artwork (paintings, needlepoint, photography, pen and ink, etc.) for possible inclusion in a note card collection. Sale of the note cards benefits the Touchmark Foundation program. Touchmark leaders also use the cards to extend personalized greetings to people living in Touchmark communities throughout the United States and Canada.
Each month, residents submit original work around that month's theme. Recent artist submissions are available for viewing online.

The unexpected scrapping of the WEZ (unexpected, that is, by anyone who hadn't noticed that Boris was a Tory petrolhead) provoked a number of questions along the lines of 'hang on, how will this affect the proposed cut in CO2 emissions by 2025, amounting to 60% reduction from 1990 levels?'. Well, at the time, there [...]
