As you know, Microsoft is committed to interoperability, and the IE team has previously blogged about and provided developer previews and samples showing "Same Markup" - the same HTML, CSS, and script working across browsers - in action.
Today, as part of the interoperability bridges work we do on this team, we're making available a new Firefox add-on that enables Firefox users on Windows to play H.264-encoded video on HTML5 by using the built-in capabilities found in Windows 7.
Microsoft has already been offering for several years now the extremely popular Windows Media Player plug-in for Firefox, which is downloaded by millions of people a month who want to watch Windows Media content.
This new plug-in, known as the HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player Firefox Plug-in, is available for download here at no cost. It extends the functionality of the earlier plug-in for Firefox, and enables web pages that that offer video in the H.264 format using standard W3C HTML5 to work in Firefox on Windows. Because H.264 video on the web is so prevalent, this interoperability bridge is important for Firefox users who are Windows customers.
H.264 is a widely-used industry standard, with broad and strong hardware support. This standardization allows users to easily take what they've recorded on a typical consumer video camera, put it on the web, and have it play in a web browser on any operating system or device with H.264 support, such as on a PC with Windows 7.
H.264 is also a very well established and widely supported video compression format, developed for use in high definition systems such as HDTV, Blu-ray and HD DVD as well as low resolution portable devices. It also offers better quality at lower file sizes than both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 ASP (DivX or XviD).
The HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player Firefox Plug-in continues to offer our customers value and choice, since those who have Windows 7 and are using Firefox will now be able to watch H.264 content through the plug-in.
Microsoft is already deeply engaged in the HTML5 process with the W3C as we believe that HTML5 will be important in advancing rich, interactive web applications and site design.

Principal Program Manager, Interoperability Strategy Team

In another significant Interoperability milestone Jean Paoli, the General Manager for Interoperability Solutions here at Microsoft, this week announced the launch of the HTML5 Labs Web site, a place where we prototype early and not yet fully stable drafts of specifications developed by the W3C and other standard organizations.
These prototypes will help Microsoft have informed discussions with developer communities, and give implementation experience with the draft specifications that will generate feedback to improve the eventual standards, Jean says, noting that the move also lets us give the community some visibility on those specifications we consider interesting from a scenario point of view, but which are still not at the stage where we can consider them ready for official product support.
As Jean explains in his blog, Microsoft's approach with Internet Explorer, outlined in a blog post by Dean Hachamovitch, the Corporate Vice President for Internet Explorer, is to implement standards as they become site-ready for broader adoption.
This new HTML5 Labs Web site is the place where Microsoft's Interoperability Labs will publish prototype implementations of certain unstable and in-progress W3C, IETF, ECMA and other standards specifications still undergoing a lot of change. The first two prototypes delivered today are Web Sockets and IndexedDB.
WebSockets is a technology designed to simplify much of the complexity around bi-directional, full-duplex communications channels, over a single Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) socket. It can be implemented in web browsers, web servers as well as used by any client or server application.
IndexedDB is a developing W3C Web standard for the storage of large amounts of structured data in the browser, as well as for high performance searches on this data using indexes. IndexedDB can be used for browser implemented functions like bookmarks, as well as for web applications like email.
We chose these two specifications primarily because they are potentially very useful but currently unstable. These are the two specifications we currently believe the community stands to benefit the most from, but both are in flux.
In addition to Jean's blog and Dean's blog, you can read more about the WebSockets prototype on Tomasz Janczuk's blog and about the IndexedDB prototype on Pablo Castro's blog.

Movie of the Day – The Dragon Lives Again
May 14, 2013 1 Comment
Have you ever wanted to see Bruce Lee battle the likes of James Bond, The Man with No Name and Dracula all in one epic movie. Well folks, you are in luck since the death of Bruce Lee spawned a subgenre of exploitation movies called Bruceploitation and the movie studios just couldn't stop capitalizing off the fame of Bruce Lee. RIP Bruce, your legend will live on as will these horribly amazing movies. It's time for The Dragon Lives Again.

Captain Hookup
This guy I'm having a casual thing with is quick-witted, is droll, and makes me laugh hard, and I just LOVE having sex with him. Afterward, however, he pretty much ignores me until we hook up again, not answering texts from me for weeks at a time. Although I see him consulting his phone constantly, he didn't even text back "Sorry, busy" to my text inviting him over to watch the moon from my yard because it was so peaceful. I get that we're not dating and that he wants his freedom, so I try not to call him names in my mind. But, then he turns up again, and I have a blast and get obsessed with the whole experience of him. I think I could be happy if he'd just reply to my texts and show me some attention that goes beyond the bed. Just a simple connection. Since I can't insist on that, I guess I need help putting what I have into perspective so I can stop yearning and craving so much.
— Longing
You want to believe you and he are on the same page. Yet here you are, basically asking him, "Come lie under the moon with me and listen to my heart beating" while he's summing up what you two have with some well-known verse. No, nothing mushy from Shakespeare. That line on an unassembled moving box: "Insert tab A into slot B."
The policewymyn of gender neutrality have led many women to believe they can do anything a man can do. While you don't need a penis to bang out a memo that lights a fire under the sales staff, there's one pretty surefire way to have an emotionally easier time having casual sex, and that's by becoming a man.
Because it's in women's genetic interest to get men to commit to more than an hour of sexercise, many women seem to be neurochemically driven to feel clingy after sex. During sex, the hormone oxytocin, which has been associated with emotional bonding, is released in both men and women, but in most men, their far greater amount of testosterone gives it a beat-down. This disparity may lead to a conflict of interest — or rather, a conflict of lack of interest like you're experiencing. But because you'd rather have this guy's sex scraps than nothing, you're all "Yeah, cool, no strings" while chasing him with a lasso and trying to forget that his favorite thing to do after sex is grab his shoes and clothes and sneak out of your house.
Even if you typically have the ability to keep things casual, it's likely to be impaired if you choose poorly — if the man you're having sex with is more Mr. Awesome than just Mr. Awesome In Bed. The clue that you can't put this current thing into perspective is your inability to tell him, "Hey, text me back, because it bugs me when you don't." That's surely what you'd do, no problem, if a friend had you on ignore. If you can't accept what he's not willing to give, you need to get out — and approach casual sex a little more realistically in the future. While being successful in love is about finding the right person, being successful in casual sex is usually about finding the somewhat wrong person — one who is decent in bed but inspires you to think post-coital flowery thoughts like "Umm don't you have somewhere to be?"
I.C.U. Naked
My boyfriend's mother has been in the hospital for several weeks. She is slowly progressing but still isn't doing well. He's been spending his days with her, but tomorrow is our anniversary, and he wants us to have sex while his brother stays with her. He says it will be a stress reliever for him, but I just don't feel right about it, given his mother's condition.
— Uncomfortable
Sex with your boyfriend will not cause negative health consequences for his mother, with some grim-faced doctor coming in to break the news: "We were giving you six months to live, maam, but after what your son must've done with his girlfriend last night, we're scaling you back to three weeks." When somebody's seriously ill and somebody you care about is caring for them, it can seem disrespectful to behave with anything but somber reserve. The reality is, that's probably the last thing either one of them needs. What they lack is the stuff that makes life normal — the relatively trivial things they did and talked about back when the only doctor they encountered daily was Dr Pepper. In other words, you'll help your boyfriend support his mother by supporting him in the way he wants — and not by engaging in some really mind-blowing sitting around with long faces thinking deeply solemn thoughts.

Every year for the last 5 years I've driven from Jersey to Fed Ex field in Landover to watch the Giants vs Skins games. Fans are great. Passionate and decent human beings. Win or lose they are pretty cool. The stadium is a dump though. UGH.
I've also been to the Ravens stadium last year. Fans were very loud, passionate, nice, fun, and although the Giants got creamed, it was a fun day. No place to tailgate though that I could find. Had to park in a garage. Stadium was very nice. I'd go again.
I am aming for Dallas in 2014-15 and I have to get myself to Lambeau to see a Packers Giants game at some point.
Buffalo and NE are also close enough to drive. Albeit far far away.
My sliding mock: (mid round pick)

2-Shane Skov LB Stanford / Travis Swanson C Ark

4-Bryan Stork C Florida St / Stanley Jean-Baptiste CB Nebraska
5-DeVonte Parker WR Louisville / Chris Watt G ND
6-Kareem Martin DE UNC / Jerome Smith RB Syracuse
Ford Field during the 2007 season. Got to sit in a corporate suite
2012 - Cincinnati - Loss - sucked!
2011 - Philadelphia -- Win -- Awesome!
2010 - Indy - Loss
2009 - Dallas - Win -- Awesome to watch the Giants take the first ever game in Cowboys stadium
2008 - Pittsburgh - Win -- Great football town, great time.
2007 - Atlanta - Win -- ok town, terrible stadium
2006 - Jacksonville - Loss -- waterfront stadium, but not much to do in Jax.
Best game was Giants beating Dallas to open the JerryDome. Favorite stadium was probably Pittsburgh, because it's downtown and the fans create a good atmosphere. We had a good time in Philly and the fans weren't as bad as I've heard -- but we were at a 1:00 game, which gave them less time to get liquored up. Philly fans around us said the later the game, the worse the experience for visiting fans. Lincoln Financial Field was actually a pretty nice stadium.
Dallas. I love it when we go into Jerry's world and win! It is exceptionally sweet when we clinch the NFC East in their house!!!
whenever they play in Detroit I'm there. Including that odd one where they played Minnesota after the roof collapsed. Woke up at like 4 in the morning and drove to Detroit to stand in line for 3 hours in like -13 temp to get tickets..... it was worth every second.

Our family of 4 (daughters 12 and 14) stayed here for one night. We flew into Naples and took the Alibus to the port. Unfortunately, I didn't have super clear directions on how to find the B&B from the bus stop, so we wandered lost for quite a while.

Visit this federal site to search for our regulatory notices, proposed and final rules.
Regulations issued by an agency bearing on conditions of employment that must be complied with by other agencies. Such regulations are a major limitation on agency discretion and therefore on the scope of bargaining, which presupposes agency discretion. Agencies chiefly involved in issuing such regulations are the Office of Personnel Management (on personnel management) and the General Services Administration (on property management).
Absent agreement to the contrary (see, e.g., 52 FLRA No. 128), section 7116(a)(7) makes it an unfair labor practice to enforce a midcontract change in a rule or regulation that comes into conflict with the agreement provision that was consistent with the rule or regulation in effect at the time the agreement was executed.
With respect to Governmentwide regulations, see 37 FLRA No. 104 and Legislative History of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute, Title VII of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, 96th Congress, 1st Session, Committee Print No. 96-7, p. 823.) See, also 46 FLRA No. 147, and the cases cited therein, where the Authority distinguishes between proposals that paraphrase or set forth the terms of a Governmentwide regulation and proposals merely requiring compliance with existing Governmentwide regulations. The former, by imposing an independent, contractual limitation on the agency, directly interfere with management's § 7106 rights, whereas the latter do not.
See, also, IRS v. FLRA, 996 F.2d 1246 (D.C. Cir. June 29, 1993), adopted by the Authority in 48 FLRA No. 15, where the court said the following:
We hold that if a government-wide regulation under section 7117(a) is itself the only basis for a union grievance . . . and the regulation precludes bargaining over its implementation or prohibits grievances concerning alleged violations, the Authority may not require a government agency to bargain over grievance procedures directed at implementation of the regulation. . . .

Make a point of turning in earlier and you'll see weight loss within a week. Recent research from the University of Pennsylvania found even just a few nights of sleep deprivation can lead to almost immediate weight gain. Scientists asked participants to sleep about 10 hours a night for two days, followed by five nights of sleep restriction and four nights of recovery. After the 11 days, the sleep-deprived group gained almost 3 pounds, compared with a well-rested control group.

From online and off-line interviews, we found some interesting tidbits about these hot-and-nerdy celebrities. Get to know them a little better in the slideshow!
Geek Shot: Lil Wayne's Diamond-Studded Beats Headphones
Like a little bling on your tech? Apparently, so does Lil Wayne. He was spotted courtside at the 2012 NBA All-Star Game last night wearing these diamond-studded Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. Celebrity style with celebrity-style prices, I bet.
What do you think about the headphones — love 'em or is it just too much?
The Tech-Savvy Celebrities of CES
CES isn't just for the geeks. As of late, the show sees its fair share of technology-loving celebrities, too.

Ludacris Shows His Soul at CES
What's the Consumer Electronics Show without a sprinkle of celebrity-endorsed gadgets? This year, hip-hop mogul Ludacris was on hand to introduce the latest additions to his Soul by Ludacris headphone line.
In 2012, the new finishes are all about shine. The SL300 noise-canceling headphones come in chrome gold, and the SL150 hi-def headphones are chrome silver. The SL100 model now has a white finish with gold accents. Soul's line of earbuds, the SL49 and SL99, also has new color options including a green and black combo, red and black, pink and white, and platinum.
We spoke to the musician-restaurateur-actor-entrepreneur for more on his life in the tech industry:

There was a Mistah F.A.B. interview from 2004 where he talked about that whole mixtape and said that track was not a diss, and that he did a freestyle over that beat because he was a big Tech fan. And since then, he's done some songs with Tech and has praised Strange numerous times.

Secondary school case studies
The following secondary case studies exemplify effective practice in implementing the Skills and Range Key Stage 3, 4 and post-16 learning outcomes identified in the PSE framework. They are based upon information offered by a number of schools and external agencies that support the delivery of PSE. They reflect the ways in which PSE is provided both through the curriculum and through the ethos and life of the school or college.
Some of the case studies display effective practice across more than one theme highlighting that the PSE themes are not discrete areas of development but are inextricably linked.

A relaxed face is a pretty face, right? Sure, yeah. But that's easier said than done for a lot of us.
It's August—a time when people go to the beach, sleep in, and show up late to work—but if my horoscope is any indication (and it usually is), this is not going to be a quiet month for me. With that in mind, I thought it would be nice to share five of my 10 favorite ways to reduce stress naturally and healthily, and I really hope you guys share yours in the comments, too.
(I'll do another five soon, but I'm too stressed to write them all out now.)
1. Breeeeeeeeeeathe. Blah, blah, blah—but it's true. When you slow down your breath, your nervous system gets a signal that it's OK to relax, which then tells the rest of your body to take it down a thousand. Then, as if by magic, your mind quiets down. We all know this is true, and I think it's just one of those things we need to hear over and over again until it clicks and we start doing it when we need it most.
2. Use the quiet moments to plan for the, um, noisier one. I know I have a hectic month ahead of me, so I've been trying to take the calm periods after work and on the weekend to recharge my batteries so that when the sh*t hits the fan, as it inevitably will, I'm better able to deal (or duck, as the case may be). You probably all have different ways of doing this. For me lately it's been spending time with people who make me feel good and who I love, meditating, hanging out in nature (even when that "nature" is a litter-strewn public park) and—eeks!—making collages. I've been making art! The nice thing about collages is at the end, you have a thing. You made it! With your hands! Very calming, somehow.
3. Use aromatherapy. Last week I had a wonderful session with Hope Gillerman (which I will write more about soon) and she taught me about her incredibly concentrated and wonderful line of organic aromatherapy. Her collection has been a cult hit for some time, and I was delighted to finally learn about it. I gravitated naturally to the stress remedy, which smelled nothing like the little janky bottle of lavender I keep by my bed at home. I have found her blends to be incredibly effective at taking the edge off. Alexandra and I also like Hope's tension remedy, which we find less sedating than the stress one; perfect for when you need to focus on the go but you don't want to lose your mind.
4. Also, use flower essences. Flower essences are going to have to get their own post, too, because they're special and widely misunderstood, but the gist is: Certain flowers contain certain properties that, when grown organically and distilled by people who know what they're doing, can impart certain qualities to the person who ingests them. What I find especially interesting about them is that they are working on root causes. Lavender is great when you're actually freaking out, and I've been using Lotus Wei flower essences to target the deeper things that make peace of mind more challenging. I learned about this just a few weeks ago, when I had a wonderful lunch with Katie Hess of Lotus Wei and Lisa Reinhardt of Wei of Chocolate. Meeting women like this is what makes my job ("job") worthwhile, no question. I especially like Pure Energy and Infinite Love in chocolate and mist and elixir form. You can go to their sites and see which ones might work best for you, too.
5. Be a little irresponsible (but don't hurt anyone, and don't get arrested). This one's as important as the others, in my opinion. Yes, it's great to be Buddha on the mountain when things are hard, but sometimes what you really need is to take life a little less seriously and have FUN. Maybe you could lie around in bed with a bodysuit on, a bottle of something brown, and some records? I don't know. I just liked the picture. I look at it and I think, "That looks awesome." And very, very relaxing.
What are your favorite ways to beat stress? And have you tried the ones listed here? Your answers will help us, too, so share!

text: I have the 3rd edition of the ACE Personal Trainer Manual. Do I need to purchase the 4th edition to pass the exam? The third edition of the ACE Personal Trainer Manual, which was published a decade ago, was updated to a fourth edition in 2010. Here is a summary of the differences between the two editions, which will help you decide whether or not you should purchase the newer materials or if you can get by with using the older edition. ACE certification committees regularly write new exam questions, which are then rotated into the certification exams as experimental questions. (Remember those experimental items are not included as part of your overall score.) If the new questions perform well, those questions can replace older and outdated items on future exams. If they perform poorly, they are retired before they ever appear as an actual scored question. The psychometricians (test designers) at our testing agency use statistical analysis to determine if a question performs well or if it needs to be removed. A similar approach was taken when the previous edition of the ACE Personal Trainer Manual was updated. Some information, such as the chapters focused on exercise science, did not change much between editions. The first four chapters focusing on the essentials of exercise science that was included in the third edition, however, was pulled out of the 4th edition and published as a separate manual. The content in this area (anatomy, physiology, kinesiology) has largely remained the same. However, you'll need to make sure you are up-to-date on the latest nutrition standards. However, other information, particularly in the areas of risk stratification, posture and physiological assessments and programming for cardiorespiratory and resistance training, underwent significant changes, based on current findings from science and research. The further we move into the future, the more the certification questions reflect the updated standards and guidelines referenced in the 4th edition materials. This means that candidates using the 3rd edition materials may need to seek out the most updated information on topics that have changed, including industry updates on topics such as ACSM guidelines, nutrition standards, the ACE IFT Model, the new functional testing principles and how to assess and design cardio programs using HR at VT1 and VT2. All of these topics are covered in the 4th edition materials. If you decide to stick with the older edition, you should considering purchasing the updated Online Diagnostic practice tests and/or review course. If any questions or topics arise that have not been covered in your material, you would then be able to seek out answers to those questions. So, while you may be successful with the 3rd edition manual, you will increase your chances of success by using the 4th edition materials, because they include the most up-to-date information that will be addressed on the latest exam. Even if you are just finishing up your study prep with the 3rd edition of the ACE Personal Trainer Manual, it may be worthwhile to purchase the ACE Personal Trainer Manual 4th Edition Set, without purchasing the complimentary study material associated with the 4th edition. The manual set can be a helpful addition to your existing materials for purposes of preparing for the exam (and as a reference source for your career as a personal trainer), as it will include the aforementioned updates. The 4th edition manual also includes many new and expanded exercise science and behavioral strategies based on research completed since the 3rd edition manual was published in 2003. And if that wasn't enough reason, the 4th edition manual is a superior reference for practical application following the achievement of certification and the Integrated Fitness TrainingTM (ACE IFTTM) Model. It's the book you'll refer to again and again in your work as a fitness professional. Here is a helpful overview of The ACE IFT Model – PART 1: http://www.acefitness.org/certifiednewsarticle/630/personal-training-for-the-21st-century PART 2: http://www.acefitness.org/certifiednewsarticle/644/personal-training-for-the-21st-century/ PART 3: http://www.acefitness.org/certifiednewsarticle/684/ace-integrated-fitness-training-ift-model-for PART 4: http://www.acefitness.org/certifiednewsarticle/709/ace-ift-model-for-cardiorespiratory-training/ Please contact Educational services at 800825-3636, Ext. 782, to discuss your options.

The Atlantic Forest is suffering from relentless habitat destruction as huge areas with massive trees are logged for timber and to make way for monoculture plantations, cattle pastures and urban developments. Find out how the WLT is helping protect a large area of rainforest as a wildlife corridor....
Project aim
Just 1% of the original Atlantic Forest survives in Argentina. This project will protect one of the last strongholds of sub-tropical rainforest in Misiones Province by creating a wildlife corridor to connect the Moconá Provincial Park with the Esmeralda Provincial Park and the Turvo State Park in Brazil.
Fundación Biodiversidad-Argentina »
Other projects in Argentina:
How the World Land Trust is helping
The first stage of this project reached an unprecedented agreement to protect 9,301 acres (3,764 hectares) of tropical broad-leaf forest within the Yabotí Biosphere Reserve in April 2012. Under the new agreement the title to the land will be held as Traditional Indigenous Lands, by the 3 Guarani communities who support the area's protection for biodiversity. The next stage will be to continue conservation work within the corridor and to expand its reach to include further areas identified in need of protection.
116 species including; the Endangered Giant Otter (Pteronura brasiliensis); Giant Anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla); Jaguar (Panthera onca); Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus); Tiger Cat (Leopardus tigrinus);
548 species including; the Critically Endangered Brazilian Merganser (Mergus octosetaceus), the Endangered Black-fronted Piping Guan (Pipile jacutinga) and the Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja).
There are also 124 species of amphibian and 222 fish species.
Threats to the Yabotí Biosphere Reserve
Protecting the Atlantic Rainforest in the Yabotí Biosphere Reserve is a high priority as although it is called a reserve much of the land within it is privately owned and therefore at risk of exploitation. There is a high concentration of endemic species and severe habitat destruction is taking place in this region. Atlantic Forest habitat is being destroyed due to:
- Exploitation for products such as timber and sugar cane
- Forest clearance for tobacco and soya plantation, cattle pastures, settlements, roads and the growth of cities
The Interior Atlantic Forest in Misiones originally covered about 25,700km2 (6,350,470 acres or 2,570,000 ha), but estimates suggest this has been reduced to about 16,000km2.
The corridor
Emerald Green Corridor (Esmeraldas Corredor Verde)
The corridor links the Moconá Provincial Park – that is next to the River Uruguay opposite Moconá Falls – to the Turvo State Park in Brazil. The area protects one of the most fragile habitats in the World and is protected as Traditional Indigenous Land, which means it belongs to the local Guarani Communities who live within the corridor and is the strongest level of protection for the reserve's biodiversity.

My friend recommended this to me. He swears by it in getting cut up, and has never used ph/aas.
I feel like its counterproductive because I think it would screw up my lifts from fatigue. Keep in my mind my cardio endurance is terrible. I'll be running epi and dzine for 7 weeks (6 weeks epi, 5 weeks dzine yeah i know two methyls dumb idea lol). My goals: Try to trim some fat and put on some muscle.

Genome-wide RNAi screening identifies human proteins with a regulatory function in the early secretory pathway.
Simpson, J.C., Joggerst, B., Laketa, V., Verissimo, F., Cetin, C., Erfle, H., Bexiga, M.G., Singan, V.R., Heriche, J.K., Neumann, B., Mateos, A., Blake, J., Bechtel, S., Benes, V., Wiemann, S., Ellenberg, J. & Pepperkok, R.
Nat Cell Biol. 2012 Jun 3;14(7):764-74. doi: 10.1038/ncb2510.
The secretory pathway in mammalian cells has evolved to facilitate the transfer of cargo molecules to internal and cell surface membranes. Use of automated microscopy-based genome-wide RNA interference screens in cultured human cells allowed us to identify 554 proteins influencing secretion. Cloning, fluorescent-tagging and subcellular localization analysis of 179 of these proteins revealed that more than two-thirds localize to either the cytoplasm or membranes of the secretory and endocytic pathways. The depletion of 143 of them resulted in perturbations in the organization of the COPII and/or COPI vesicular coat complexes of the early secretory pathway, or the morphology of the Golgi complex. Network analyses revealed a so far unappreciated link between early secretory pathway function, small GTP-binding protein regulation, actin cytoskeleton organization and EGF-receptor-mediated signalling. This work provides an important resource for an integrative understanding of global cellular organization and regulation of the secretory pathway in mammalian cells.

Micropilot: automation of fluorescence microscopy-based imaging for systems biology.
Conrad, C., Wunsche, A., Tan, T.H., Bulkescher, J., Sieckmann, F., Verissimo, F., Edelstein, A., Walter, T., Liebel, U., Pepperkok, R. & Ellenberg, J.
Nat Methods. 2011 Mar;8(3):246-9. doi: 10.1038/nmeth.1558. Epub 2011 Jan 23.
Quantitative microscopy relies on imaging of large cell numbers but is often hampered by time-consuming manual selection of specific cells. The 'Micropilot' software automatically detects cells of interest and launches complex imaging experiments including three-dimensional multicolor time-lapse or fluorescence recovery after photobleaching in live cells. In three independent experimental setups this allowed us to statistically analyze biological processes in detail and is thus a powerful tool for systems biology.

Phenotypic profiling of the human genome by time-lapse microscopy reveals cell division genes.
Neumann, B., Walter, T., Heriche, J.K., Bulkescher, J., Erfle, H., Conrad, C., Rogers, P., Poser, I., Held, M., Liebel, U., Cetin, C., Sieckmann, F., Pau, G., Kabbe, R., Wünsche, A., Satagopam, V., Schmitz, M.H., Chapuis, C., Gerlich, D.W., Schneider, R., Eils, R., Huber, W., Peters, J.M., Hyman, A.A., Durbin, R., Pepperkok, R. & Ellenberg, J.
Nature. 2010 Apr 1;464(7289):721-7.
Despite our rapidly growing knowledge about the human genome, we do not know all of the genes required for some of the most basic functions of life. To start to fill this gap we developed a high-throughput phenotypic screening platform combining potent gene silencing by RNA interference, time-lapse microscopy and computational image processing. We carried out a genome-wide phenotypic profiling of each of the approximately 21,000 human protein-coding genes by two-day live imaging of fluorescently labelled chromosomes. Phenotypes were scored quantitatively by computational image processing, which allowed us to identify hundreds of human genes involved in diverse biological functions including cell division, migration and survival. As part of the Mitocheck consortium, this study provides an in-depth analysis of cell division phenotypes and makes the entire high-content data set available as a resource to the community.

Work flow for multiplexing siRNA assays by solid-phase reverse transfection in multiwell plates.
Erfle, H., Neumann, B., Rogers, P., Bulkescher, J., Ellenberg, J. & Pepperkok, R.
J Biomol Screen. 2008 Aug;13(7):575-80. Epub 2008 Jul 3.
Solid-phase reverse transfection on cell microarrays is a high-throughput method for the parallel transfection of mammalian cells. However, the cells transfected in this way have been restricted so far to microscopy-based analyses. Analysis methods such as reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and access to higher cell numbers for statistical reasons in microscopy-based assays are not possible with solid-phase reverse transfection on cell microarrays. We have developed a quick and reliable protocol for automated solid-phase reverse transfection of human cells with siRNAs in multiwell plates complementing solid-phase reverse transfection on cell microarrays. The method retains all advantages of solid-phase reverse transfection such as long-term storage capacity after fabrication, reduced cytotoxicity, and reduced cost per screen compared with liquid-phase transfection in multiwell plates. The protocol has been tested for the RNAi-mediated knockdown of several genes in different cell lines including U20S, RPE1, A549, and HeLa cells. We show that even 3 months after production of the "ready to transfect" multiwell plates, there is no reduction in their transfection efficiency as assessed by RT-PCR and nuclear phenotyping by fluorescence microscopy. We conclude that solid-phase reverse transfection in multiwell plates is a cost-efficient and flexible tool for multiplexing cellular assays.

Hi guys, no I'm not in prison, I'm a free man, the guilty offenders had to admit to their crime and 2 innocent parties had to suffer for no reason because of this, me being one of them out of the 4 held. Just to clear this up I had NO involvement in the crime whatsoever and no charges have been brought against me at all. I have no criminal record or any involvement in the wrong side of the law at all, never have never will.
In regards to shoot and sprawl show, every one who knows me in the industry and my management company, mogul fight management, know I deal with fighter management ONLY, I do not promote show in any way, I will help with fighters cause that's what I do, shoot and sprawl is owned and run by Matthew wise and Carl White, Matthew was one of my fighters from my gym bst mma in Northampton, and decided to promote his own shows, for whatever reason he always has plenty of money, through whatever means and could afford to put on shows, so I supplied lots of guys from my gym to fight and some of my pro guys. The first couple of shows lost around 20k which he said he paid everyone which I now know he didn't, so for the next show I said I'd help him so he wouldn't lose so much money. So I spoke to a few people on his behalf, other fighters, camera guy, cage hire guy etc... I then went to Vegas and came back and not a lot had been done since I went away so I started cancelling my fighters (misiek was one) and a couple of others and I cancelled the video guy cause I didn't want the cost going crazy, Matthew wanted all the stuff so I rebooked a couple of things like the camera guy at his request (the camera guy can confirm this as he post on here I think) I assumed he'd just pay with his own money as it would def go over. Anyway on the night all the money from the door was collected in, I counted it paid sledge and his people straight away and whatever was left I used to pay fighters. (I still had 3 of mine to pay) when I told Matthew there was no money left and I needed some cash to pay the fighters, and he needed to pay the camera guy and ring guy, he gave me £300 to pay people and he left the event, his own event so no one could speak to him and left me there to deal with everything, I was calling him and calling him but he never answered once. He sent a text and said he'd sort out the money on Monday so I passed on the message. I paid my guys out of my own pocket and stayed in touch with any fighters I had organised but I know 3 fighters didn't not get paid and I felt for them as I would hate that to happen to my guys, it may not be much money but the principal is what mattered most.
Matthew did lose money on the event but it was under 5k and the amount of money he has it shouldn't of been a problem but he saw an opportunity to save that money and pass the buck to me and he did, but a few good people know me and know that's not the kind of guy I am, iv worked hard to get to where I am and my fighters do very well and have made it to the top in this sport and I continue to manage the top guys and up and coming guys too, once again I do not promote shows I manage fighters and shoot and sprawl is owned by Matthew wise and Carl White, although I think Carl has nothing to do with Matthew anymore cause of him ripping him off too. I helped out to promote my gym as it was new and at the time Matthew was a friend and one of my pro fighters doing really well, so it was a shame he was a shady character.
Thanks for those that know me and supported me through the shit time and bad press means a lot and kael, I did speak to u a few times, sorry I couldn't sort out your money from Matthew or Carl, I did ask many times, I think it was from the first or second show they did,
Just to say that's great news Sid - when I heard about that story at the beginning of the year it really shocked me as from the times we've talked and met you've always been a stand up guy. Didn't hear anything else so assumed the worst but glad you're free from all that, it must have been a horrible situation.
Hate seeing guys not get paid or worse be out of pocket from shady promoters.

A look at the emotional side of medicine—the shame, fear, anger, anxiety, empathy, and even love that affect patient care
What Doctors Feel
How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine

Physicians are assumed to be objective, rational beings, easily able to detach as they guide patients and families through some of life's most challenging moments. But doctors' emotional responses to the life-and-death dramas of everyday practice have a profound impact on medical care. And while much has been written about the minds and methods of the medical professionals who save our lives, precious little has been said about their emotions.
Dr. Danielle Ofri
In What Doctors Feel, Dr. Danielle Ofri has taken on the task of dissecting the hidden emotional responses of doctors, and how these directly influence patients.
"Her writing tumbles forth with color and emotion. She demonstrates an ear for dialogue, a humility about the limits of her medical training, and an extraordinary capacity to be touched by human suffering."

A nearly 13-year-old skin cancer drug rapidly alleviates molecular signs of Alzheimer's disease and improves brain function, according to the results of a new mouse study being hailed as extremely promising. Early-stage human clinical trials could begin within months.
In the study, published online February 9 by Science, researchers from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and colleagues used mice genetically engineered to exhibit some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's. Most notably, the mice produced amyloid beta peptides—toxic protein fragments that gum up neurons and lead to cell death—and showed signs of forgetfulness.

The Case Western team, led by Gary Landreth, decided to try the drug bexarotene (Targretin), approved in 1999 for cutaneous T cell lymphomas. The team chose this drug because of its long experience working with proteins in the nucleus of brain cells that can induce biochemical processes that affect amyloid beta.
Landreth and his colleagues fed bexarotene to the demented mice, and with just a single dose it lowered the most toxic form of the amyloid beta peptide by 25 percent within six hours, an effect that lasted for up to three days. Mice that were cognitively impaired by the amyloid buildup resumed normal behaviors after 72 hours: They began to crinkle toilet paper placed nearby to make nests, a skill lost as amyloid increased in their brains.
"We have successfully reversed all of the known pathological features and behavioral deficits found in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease," Landreth says. "Never before has anyone observed clearance of amyloid plaques with such speed in mouse models."
Other Alzheimer's researchers hail the work. "I think this is extremely promising," says Samuel Gandy, a professor of neurology and psychiatry at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and associate director of the hospital's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. "One of the drugs that has been on our wish list for 25 years is a drug that would clear existing amyloid deposits."
"Landreth's paper is impressive," adds Kenneth Kosik, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. "The effects in mice, including some restoration of cognitive abilities, are dramatic."
Neural sanitation
In a field littered with drug failures, the study offers hope that the strategy of clearing the brain of the toxic peptide can work. Bexarotene does not do so directly, however; instead, it activates retinoid receptors on brain cells that increase production of a fat-protein complex, apolipoprotein E, that helps rid excess amyloid in the fluid-filled space between neurons. It also appears to enhance another cleanup process, called phagocytosis.
Bexarotene functions differently than an amyloid-clearance approach using monoclonal antibodies, which are further down the drug development pipeline. These antibodies bind directly to amyloid and then remove it, but they have sometimes caused fluid to fill brain tissue. Bexarotene may be less likely to cause such swelling. "I think the fact that we're inducing a natural process by turning on these receptors doesn't lend itself to water on the brain," says Paige Cramer, Landreth's graduate student who performed much of the research. Unlike bexarotene, which is taken orally, monoclonals are more troublesome to administer, because they must be delivered intravenously, and if they receive U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval, they would likely be significantly more expensive.
