Keiji Inafune is worried that you might think that Capcom doesn't want to work with Western game developers anymore, that the studio that made Mega Man, Street Fighter and Resident Evil would happily just back games made in Japan.
Well, technically we had heard that the company that backed the Western-developed original game Dark Void last year just doesn't want Western developers working with them on anything other than sequels. But let's not worry about such specifics, not when the request is so joyfully put.
At E3 last week, I had asked Inafune if Capcom was backing away from working with developers in America and Europe. Inafune's answer made his translator chuckle.
In the spirit of HIdeo Kojima making his very own plea to Kotaku, here is Capcom's Keiji Inafune, inventor of Mega Man, honcho of Dead Rising 2 (made in Canada!) and other cool Capcom games with a request, made through a translator to me in Los Angeles last week:
Kotaku, I need you guys to be the defenders. Because there are other people in the company that say things like we're not going to work with the West or Capcom is kind of going through some growing pains and we're going to tone it down. Every time you hear that, you should tell them, they are wrong. And so please don't post anything like that, because every time, it creates more headaches for me. We will work with the West. This is a policy that will not change.
And any time anybody — I don't care if they're above me, below me or me — says that, they are wrong.
We are working with the West, because there is a lot that we get from it. It's becoming more and more a western market so we need to learn how to collaborate more with Western developers if we are going to be able to stick around as a company.
After Inafune made that request, I requested that he pose for a picture somewhere cool. As you can see, he obliged.

A View from Studio 3: It's time to align by geography
As AL and NL become indistinguishable, MLB should adjust divisions
What's the difference between the American League and the National League?
It's not a riddle, so if you're waiting for a clever answer or some type of punch line, you'll be disappointed, and you'll be waiting a long time.
I heard a kid ask his father that question a few weeks ago. Dad had no real answer -- for good reason. The dividing line between leagues is fading. It's almost gone.
Remember the days when you could identify an AL team or NL club based on its overall look or style?
If memory serves, NL teams had the smaller, wirey types. Able to bunt, steal and climb outfield walls. AL rosters were filled with big bruisers, the kind of guys you'd want on your weekend softball team.
Think back to the 1982 World Series. Harvey's Wallbangers versus The White Rat's Cardinals. If there was ever better example of two clubs with more opposite looks and personalities, I can't think of it. Harvey Kuenn's Brewers led the Majors in homers and they stole a base from time to time. Whitey Herzog's Cardinals were dead last in long balls while leading the NL in steals. When the two teams faced off, the Fall Classic was must-see TV.
That's an extreme example of what used to be, and of course there were exceptions. But there's no denying that once upon a time, the AL style and NL style were decidedly different.
Decades have passed and the gap has closed -- or disappeared -- in many catergories for many reasons. Parks are smaller, players are more athletic, philosophies changed, statistical analysis has exploded and money talks. Players have no reservations about switching leagues in free agency. The list goes on and on.
One thing that has remained the same over the decades is the designated hitter. As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the best/worst baseball has to offer, recent conversations and debates lead some to believe the DH will find its way into the NL, and soon.
Good idea? Bad idea? It doesn't matter. If it happens, there will be no difference between the leagues at all. The only reason to categorize teams based on league will be for standings purposes. Heck, we have Interleague Play every day this season, so fans don't even mark their calendars anymore looking forward to the handful off weekends when an AL team comes to their NL city.
And what do the records mean? "The all-time NL leader in [pick a category]" hasn't worked for years. Until you separate out every Interleague game, its validity is sketchy at best.
So lets just go with it. Assume the DH arrives in the NL soon, that's the perfect time to implement an idea that conforms with the changing MLB landscape while creating a new twist on geographic rivalries from coast to coast.
Do away with the AL and NL as they currently exist.
Yup. Realign the leagues based solely on geography. Think Eastern Conference and Western Conference in the NBA or NHL. What's more compelling? The Angels and Dodgers playing for bragging rights on a random weekend in May and August or having these teams face each other in the final week of the September with the top seed in the postseason on the line?
How about the Cubs having a chance to keep the White Sox out of the playoffs in a head-to-head meeting October 1-3?
You get it.
In the past 20 years, we've already had realignment, playoff expansion and added divisions, so why not?
The vast majority of existing rivalries would barely be affected by this new plan. Just about every heated rivalry that has any teeth or any history is based on geography, so those teams would continue to spew hate and draw large crowds more than a dozen times a year. It's all good (as the kids like to say).
Plus, new rivalries would be created and travel would also be made much easier if you split the country down the middle. Break up the 30 clubs into two conferences and then seed accordingly for the playoffs. Just as the current schedule dictates, the majority of a team's games would take place within its conference.
Here's a starting point:
Eastern Conference
New York Mets
New York Yankees
Tampa Bay
Western Conference
San Francisco
Los Angeles Dodgers
Los Angeles Angels
San Diego
Chicago Cubs
Chicago White Sox
St. Louis
Kansas City
Think about it: MLB has done an incredible job of creating and sustaining competitive balance in recent years. Perhaps it is time to explore geographic balance as well. While this idea may sound crazy, remember, many fans felt the same way about the designated hitter 40 years ago.

As new rule nears, Angels practice defending plate
Iannetta, Conger working on ways to balance good defense and safety at home
TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Angels aren't alone in waiting for Major League Baseball to establish and make known the guidelines for the proposed rule change that will curb collisions at home plate between baserunners and catchers, therefore reducing injuries from such a play.
But they are having their catchers practice making sure the runner has a lane to reach home plate in Spring Training workouts.
"There's some guidelines we're working with right now that have not been taken to the level of making it a rule," manager Mike Scioscia, a former catcher, said. "So I think there's still some things that might filter in through Spring Training. But we're practicing it along these guidelines of really making sure a runner has a lane."
Scioscia doesn't think it will be as complicated to change a catcher's position for a play at the plate as could be the wording of the new rule. He's hoping that when MLB officials come to Arizona to meet with the teams next week, there will be finalization of the new rule and it can be explained.
Scioscia says any new rule will take away aggressiveness from the runner and the catcher.
"It's understood that there's going to be contact on some plays," he said. "But I think if you measure the intent and measure what the play is, you should be able to come up with a call."
Emphasizing that no rule has been set, Scioscia explained that the way he understands it, a runner will be able to slide through the catcher. But he still has questions.
"If the catcher has to give you a lane, why would you have to slide through him?" Scioscia asked. "Now, if there's plays that lead to some incidental contact, those have to be outlined to what's acceptable and what isn't."
Angels catchers Hank Conger and Chris Iannetta shared their thoughts on the proposed rule and what they're doing in practice.
"For now, we just can't block the plate," Conger said. "We just have to make sure we put ourselves in a good position and just try to make a tag and get out of there."
Conger is glad to see a rule that helps protect catchers, while Iannetta is more in favor of keeping things status quo.
"But if this works out and it helps protect the players, that would be a good thing," Iannetta said. "I didn't really see the necessity to make too many adjustments."
Said Conger: "I actually do like, though, that they're trying to make it more safe. You're taking a throw from out in the field and all of a sudden, you're getting blindsided. You can get seriously injured."
The Angels' catchers are being proactive while waiting for a rule to be put into place. Conger is reminded of his high school days when catchers weren't allowed to block the plate and runners couldn't run into the catcher.
"Now all the parameters in between that are trying to be defined," he said.
Neither catcher is frustrated with what might happen, and it seems like they accept change is coming.
"I think it'll be fine. The bottom line is either you take the plate away or you don't," Iannetta said. "Before it was the catcher's option to block the plate or stick your nose in there and get hit ... now you take the decision making out of it. You have to give the runner a clear running line and apply the tag."

There are 3 different types of muscle: skeletal, cardiac and smooth. This page describes skeletal muscle development, descriptions of cardiac muscle and smooth muscle development can be found in other notes. Skeletal muscle forms by fusion of mononucleated myoblasts to form mutinucleated myotubes.
Differentiation/determination of mesoderm into muscle cells is thought to involve a family of basic Helix-Loop-Helix transcription factors, the first of which discovered was MyoD1. MyoD1 needs to form a dimer to be active and is maintained in an inactive state by binding of an inhibitor, Id.
Some Recent Findings
Three different types of muscle form in the body.
- Skeletal muscle - cells originate from the paraxial mesoderm, forming somites, then dermamyotome and finally the myotome. Myoblasts undergo frequent divisions and coalesce with the formation of a multinucleated, syncytial muscle fibre or myotube. The nuclei of the myotube are still located centrally in the muscle fibre. In the course of the synthesis of the myofilaments/myofibrils, the nuclei are gradually displaced to the periphery of the cell.
- Cardiac muscle - cells originate from the prechordal splanchnic mesoderm.
- Smooth muscle - cells originate from undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. These cells differentiate first into mitotically active cells, myoblasts, which contain a few myofilaments. Myoblasts give rise to the cells which will differentiate into mature smooth muscle cells.
Muscle Groups
Epaxial Muscle
Anatomical term describing skeletal muscles which lie dorsal (posterior) to the vertebral column developing from the somite myotome. In humans, this is only a small muscle group formed by the transversospinalis, longissimus, and iliocostalis muscles. Also at the ribcage level the levatores costarum muscles involved with rib elevation during respiration. The body muscles lying ventral (anterior) to the vertebral column are the hypaxial muscles.
Hypaxial Muscle
(hypomere) Anatomical term describing skeletal muscles which lie ventral (anterior) to the vertebral column developing from the somite myotome. These muscles contribute both body (trunk) and limb skeletal muscle.
- In the trunk, these form the three anterior body muscle layers.
- In the limb, these form the extensor and flexor muscle groups.
Skeletal Muscle Stages
Myoblast - individual progenitor cells
Myotube - multinucleated, but undifferentiated contractile apparatus (sarcomere)
Myofibre (myofiber, muscle cell) - multinucleated and differentiated sarcomeres
- primary myofibres - first-formed myofibres, act as a structural framework upon which myoblasts proliferate, fuse in linear sequence
- secondary myofibers - second later population of myofibres that form surrounding the primary fibres.
Muscle Fibre Types
Muscle fiber types
- type IIB, IIA, IIX, and I fibres - based only on the myosin ATPase activity.
- Type I fibres appear red, due to the presence of myoglobin.
- Type II fibres appear white, due to the absence of myoglobin and their glycolytic nature.
- A group of individual myofibres within a muscle will be innervated by a single motor neuron (motor unit).
- The electrical properties of the motor neuron will regulate the contractile properties of all associated myofibres.

Muscle Contraction
Individual myoblasts in the developing muscle bed initial fuse together to form multi-nucleated myotubes. These myotubes then express the contractile proteins, that are organized into sarcomeres in series along the length of the myotube.
This animation shows the molecular interactions that occur within the skeletal muscle sarcomere between actin and myosin during skeletal muscle contraction.
In both development and the adult, the group of skeletal muscles supplied by a specific segmental spinal nerve is referred to as a myotome. The muscle arises from a specific somite and the spinal nerve arises from a specific level of the spinal cord (identified by veretebral column).
In humans this corresponds to the following spinal nerves (from top to bottom) and muscular functions:
- C3,4 and 5 supply the diaphragm for breathing.
- C5 supply shoulder muscles and muscles to bend our elbow.
- C6 for bending the wrist back.
- C7 for straightening the elbow.
- C8 bends the fingers.
- T1 spreads the fingers.
- T1 –T12 supplies the chest wall and abdominal muscles.
- L2 bends the hip.
- L3 straightens the knee.
- L4 pulls the foot up.
- L5 wiggles the toes.
- S1 pulls the foot down.
- S3,4 and 5 supply the bladder, bowel, sex organs, anal and other pelvic muscles.
Histology Images
- Musculoskeletal mass doubles by the end of puberty
- regulated growth by - sex steroid hormones, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factors
- accumulation of (peak) bone mass during puberty relates to future osteoporosis in old age
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD)
- characterized by the progressive weakness and atrophy of a specific subset of skeletal muscles
- mostly affects the muscles of the face, scapula, and upper arms
- involvement of specific muscles that it is often used clinically to distinguish FSHD from other forms of muscular dystrophy

I think this one shouldn't be so difficult to solve, but I am total beginner.
I have currently a database connected to Calc and it works just fine. I have the database registered and I use the link between them. Now I have created simple sql query:
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
SELECT * FROM "table" WHERE "ID" = ?
The query works just like I want, I have to enter "ID" to display display the result I wish. The problém is, that when I link the query into Calc (Using F4 for data sources), the dialog box to enter ID opens up, I fill the ID in and the results is displayed, but I refresh the whole spreadsheet a lot (using macro controled by button) and every time I refresh the spreadsheet, the dialog box to enter ID opens up again. Simply, my goal is to have a button, which would trigger the SQL query only by clicking it to display the result in a specifie Calc cell range.
Is is possible? Thank you very much in advance

Bratton and Giuliani ushered in an approach often referred to as the "Broken Windows" strategy to policing. The Broken Windows theory is based on an article co-written by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling for City Journal that stressed the importance of addressing small crimes, and letting that success create a snowball effect into reducing larger criminal activity.
Many progressives are slow to attribute New York's enormous success in reducing crime to this approach, but most people would be hard pressed not to acknowledge the wisdom of the strategy. Bratton and his police force reduced the hordes of window washing panhandlers and other activities that threatened New York's quality of life.
Now, Bratton is back, and the question is whether he will stress this theory once again. New York is a different city now than it was in 1993. Crime, as it once was, is virtually unknown to an entire generation of New Yorkers. Yet, we are living in a tense environment due to the looming cloud of potential terrorism and other threats.
What is Bratton's approach to maintaining the safety of the city's elaborate, advanced, and vulnerable subway system? If "stop and frisk" is to be amended, what else is part of the plan? Cameras on every platform? In areas like Jamaica and Sutphin Boulevard, there may need to be more attention to weekend and evening subway safety.
The Bloomberg team felt that there was no need for additional police officers, even though some members of the City Council were in favor of an increase. It may take Bratton a while to get his footing in the department again, but if he sees the need for more uniforms, will he voice that concern to the new mayor?
An argument against adding more police officers is that added cameras and CityStat technology has reduced the need for more police officers. The outer boroughs, however, are more spread out. There are fewer opportunities for cameras to catch dangerous activity.
Those worried that Bratton will be a downgrade from the venerable Ray Kelly are most likely imports to this city. In fact, some were skeptical when Kelly was brought back by Bloomberg after serving as police commissioner in the David Dinkins administration.
Kelly was invaluable in the last 12 years, but Bratton did a marvelous job with an embattled department in 1994. If Kelly had to be replaced, this was one of the best choices Mayor Bill de Blasio could have made.
Bratton will most likely have a better relationship with de Blasio than he did with Giuliani, and perhaps that will make getting acclimated even easier. Hopefully, the Broken Windows theory will not be something that comes between the new commissioner and the new administration.
Smart Move By Governor Cuomo
Having never smoked marijuana in my life, I cannot attest to the benefits or dangers of the drug first hand. As New York moves toward making medical marijuana legal, it seems to make sense that the state government is acknowledging the benefits of prescribed use as a way to combat chronic pain.
Legal medications, like Oxycontin and Vicodin, have not always proved to be positive options for people. Marijuana, whether we like its reputation or not, is a natural substance. Under the regulatory eye of the state, it can be provided in a safe manner.
This is no longer a time when such legislation is considered a bold move, but it is a nod to common sense government.

Though cleverly named the IRIS 9000 to dodge any legal trouble with MGM, 2001: A Space Odyssey fans should have no trouble recognizing this HAL 9000 doppleganger that's designed to make using Siri feel a little more sci-fi. But whatever you do, don't ask it to lie or conceal the truth.
The not-quite-a-dock connects to your iOS device over Bluetooth, so it works with both the iPhone 4S and 5 without the need for a lightning adapter. And using an included remote, you can activate Siri from across the room. A built-in extra-sensitive mic picks up your voice from afar, while a speaker ensures you can always hear Siri's response. The best feature, though, is a glowing red eye that flickers along with her response, but fortunately can't read lips.
The dock is a ThinkGeek exclusive that can also be used as an amplified speakerphone, which is probably the best way to convince your office manager to shell out $60 for one. Does anyone else now have Bicycle Built For Two stuck in their heads? [ThinkGeek]

MONTREAL - Benoit Groulx says it will take more than flashy statistics to ensure a spot on Canada's junior hockey team.
The Gatineau Olympiques head coach will lead Canada in its quest to end its gold medal drought at the 2015 world junior hockey championship held in Montreal and Toronto at the end of this year.
As Groulx begins naming players to his roster over the next two weeks, he wants to look beyond goals and assists when sending out invitations to training camp. He and the rest of the coaching staff are looking to reinvent the selection process that has proved unsuccessful in the last tournaments.
"Recent history has shown us that being a hundred-point guy on a first line is no longer enough at the Juniors," Groulx said from Montreal on Thursday, after Hockey Canada introduced him as the team's head coach. "Our players have to raise their game. These are players who will one day be in the National Hockey League. They have the talent, but can they elevate their play?
"That's the message we're sending. The level we've competed at these last few years simply wasn't enough."
Canada is suffering through a five-year gold medal drought at the tournament after winning five consecutive years between 2005 and 2009. The team's last medal, a bronze, came in 2012.
Groulx was an assistant coach at the 2014 junior championship in Malmo, Sweden, where Canada finished fourth after losing to Russia in the bronze-medal game. The 46-year-old says only elite players can challenge for the top of the podium.
"We need guys who are self-driven, who are relentless, guys who want to make the difference," said the Hull, Que., native. "We need hundred-point players who are ready to make changes, ready to play out of their comfort zones. To win that championship, you need world-class players."
Canada has 11 players eligible to return from last year's squad, including goalie Zachary Fucale and forwards Jonathan Drouin, Curtis Lazar and NHL prospect Sam Reinhart. The team's one-week development camp begins Aug. 9 in Montreal.
The Canadians will also host an exhibition tournament involving the Russian and Czech national junior teams which will be held in Montreal and Sherbrooke, Que. The goal is to keep competitiveness high as the world junior championship approaches.
"Those are two great countries, two teams that we lost to last year," said Hockey Canada's Scott Salmond. "Any time you can bring those teams back in a competitive environment, and send a message to them, it's great. It's not a summer camp, it's a competition, and we want to play there to win."
After the exhibition games, Canada opens the 11-day tournament on Dec. 26 with a group game against Slovakia in Montreal. Canada will play its four round-robin matches at Montreal's Bell Centre.
The Canadians are in Group A with the United States, Finland, Slovakia and Germany.
Toronto will welcome teams from Group B, which includes Russia, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Sweden, and Switzerland. The gold-medal game will take place at the Air Canada Centre on Jan. 5.
Groulx wouldn't guarantee Canada would make it to the ACC for that final, but he is relishing the opportunity to play in front of the home crowd.
Incidentally, Groulx would have coached a national junior team on home soil in 2009 had he not resigned. After initially accepting Hockey Canada's invitation, he later took a head coach position with the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League.
Groulx says there's no changing course this time around.
"Montreal and Toronto are two of the most passionate sports cities in Canada, and even in North America," he said. "It's a huge challenge that I look forward to. Pressure will be good for us. When's there's pressure like that, people are very aware of it. Playing in Montreal and Toronto forces us to prepare adequately.
"People in Canada expect us to win. For us, that's the ultimate. But our focus is on the process more than anything else."
Notes: With 15 gold medals, Canada is the most successful country in the competition's 38-year history. … Dave Lowry (Victoria Royals of the Western Hockey League) and Scott Walker (Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League) will be Groulx's assistant coaches. … Finland won last year's tournament, beating Sweden in the final game. … Groulx took the Gatineau Olympiques to three Memorial Cup appearances, in 2003, 2004 and 2008. ... Hockey Canada also named the coaching staff for Canada's under-18 team. Head coach Derek Laxdal will be joined by assistants Jody Hull and Eric Veilleux.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (sugar-free)
Hey hey foodies!
Here's another treat using NuNatural's new natural sweetener: tagatose.
There are several things I like about tagatose. While you can definitely taste a difference between it and sugar, it isn't an unpleasant one. It's delicious, VERY sweet, and replaces cup for cup. It also caramelizes the cookies like brown sugar does, which is great! It is also:
- low glycemic
- low calorie (6 cals per teaspoon)
- safe for diabetics
- won't raise blood sugar
- prebiotic (feeds healthy bacteria)
- non- tooth decaying
- 100% natural
These cookies came out tasting very chewy and sweet. Please have patience with them when they first come out of the oven- they are very gooey, but if you let them sit, they firm up a little and remain very chewy. I much prefer this texture to crunchy cookies!
I am VERY happy with tagatose, and I've decided it's my new sugar. I hope you love it as much as I do.
**Remember there is still time to enter the giveaway! Contest closes Tuesday, Oct 29th at 8pm.

It's inevitable – children fight. Despite our best efforts to encourage a spirit of cooperation and our attempts to "equalize" everything from cookie distribution to love, we parents all hear our little ones say things to one another we wouldn't say to our worst enemy, taunt, tease, grab, fight, and bellow, "It's not FAIR!" "You love HER better!" when we try to play Solomon.
Are there ways to intervene helpfully? You bet.
Five Tips for Parents When Our Children Fight
1. Equal means less
Equality may work for constitutions, but not our little ones' "constitutions." Children need to be loved and provided for uniquely, as they are unique with different needs. How much better to lose the measuring tape, assure each they are special, and will get what's required.
When Mark starts arguing "Not Fair" that his brother got a larger hamburger, simply say, "Are you still hungry? Would like another half or can you handle two?"
If Rachel asks, "Who do you love best?" instead of reassuring, "I love you both the same," it's more helpful and realistic to reply: "Each of you is special to me. There's not another Rachel in the whole universe!"
When Eli, impatient and angry while you're helping his sister prepare for a math test, complains, "Mommy, you're talking to her longer than you talk to me!" you might explain that this math test is important, but when you finish, you're eager to hear what's on his mind.
2. Get off the bench and put down the gavel
As the parent, our children look to us to be judge and jury. This, of course, is a lose-lose situation, as one child will "lose" – and so will we. First, prioritize. Not every little squabble is our "business." Whenever possible, let them sweat solutions over the small stuff.
The "bigger stuff" does require our attention, but rather than playing cop or judge, the goal is to teach them how to settle things themselves.
For example, Shayna, 7, and Michael, 6, are arguing furiously over a Sing-A-Ma-Jig. Each is screaming and holding onto it with the strength of Sumo wrestlers. Our natural inclination is to yell and investigate. "Stop it this minute!" "Who started it? The truth!" "Shame on you Shayna, give it to your little brother and play with your Barbie!" "Can't you learn to share?!" "No one gets it! Time-out for both of you!"
We know the above will send us and them on a merry-go-round, creating even more frustration and resentment as they will claim or think "I won/lost," "But that's unfair!" "They always take his/her side." "Why should I share?!"
How much more helpful to simply:
a) Identify the feelings: "I see two children who are angry at each other."
b) Identify the conflict: "Hmmm. Shayna, you were playing with it, then Michael wanted to play too. Wow. This is tough. Both of you wanting to play with the same toy now."
c) Throw it back: "If you think hard together, I know you can find a fair solution." Then, get "outta" there.
I hear you groaning, "Right." But, believe it or not, most children, when you show them you have confidence in their ability to work things out will figure it out! And you've managed to avoid the fall-out and charges of favoritism that come with being the mommy-in-the-middle.
3. Stopping the bully/victim cycle
In many sibling relationships a "bully" vs. "victim" cycle develops. How often have we heard these words between them: "If you don't get out, I'll ...." as the "bully" threatens or grabs, while the "victim" withers, whines, tattle-tales, and looks to us to punish the offender? This is a rough one, as our sympathies are often with the victim.
For example, David, 10, is hitting his 8-year-old sister's boombox, threatening, "If you don't get out of here, Anna, I'll smash it!!" while Anna is hysterical. Rather than saying: "David! You're bullying again! Knock it off!" it's more helpful to say, "No teasing or smashing! You know how to ask for what you want without nicely, and I expect you to do it right now."
As for the "victim," instead of going the "poor baby" route, the task here is to help her learn to stand up for herself. Comments such as: "You can tell your brother 'I got it for my birthday. It's my toy'" or, "If he teases you with a mean face, tell him 'You don't scare me!'"
Teaching our little ones that bullying is unacceptable and they need not be "victims" prepares them to behave in a civilized manner with confidence.
4. When the bigger stuff gets out of hand
In a perfect world, the above will work, but as we know, at times things may spiral out of control, and of course we must step in to avoid a potentially dangerous situation!
For example, you hear screaming and find your 9-year-old twin boys clobbering one another. First, inquire: "Is this a real or 'play' fight?" (Play fighting is allowed only by mutual consent. Real fights are not.) If you quickly determine they're out for blood, describe it: "I see two furious boys who may hurt each other." Then, separate them, saying, "This is NOT safe. You both need to cool down. Quick, to your rooms (or other separate areas), now!"
Sometimes intervention is needed.
5. The "Meeting Hall"
Among sibs, there are persistent triggers in specific situations. Your Eli, 14, babysits when you go out for short hops, but becomes a mega-macher, ordering his 12-year-old sister, Becca, around, and calling the shots over everything from TV viewing to iPad apps. If she disobeys, he pinches her.
- Call a family meeting to discuss the situation.
- Invite each child to express his or her feelings and concerns.
- Write them down and read them aloud to make sure you're all on the same page.
- Ask the kids to offer fair solutions, then write them all, without judgment.
- Establish the final rules with them. For example: "No bosses." "No hurting." Devise a TV schedule, along with suitable apps that Becca may choose from without interference from her brother.
- Follow-up a week later to see if all are satisfied with the new strategy in place.
Just imagine brothers and sisters growing up in homes where hurting isn't tolerated; where children learn to negotiate fairly; and where cooperation rather than competition is encouraged. From such a home, they will have the tools and the confidence to grow together, rather than apart.

|Enzymes that modify epigenetic status provide attractive targets for therapy in various diseases including cardiac hypertrophy, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and immune dysfunction. The therapeutic development of epigenetic modulators, however, has been largely limited to direct targeting of the active site of such enzymes. Class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a group of epigenetic enzymes that depends on interaction with Myocyte Enhancer Factor-2 (MEF2) for their recruitment to specific genomic loci. Targeting this interaction presents a potential alternative approach to inhibiting this class of HDACs by blocking their DNA recruitment. In this paper, we have identified and characterized a group of small molecules that indirectly target class IIa HDACs by binding to MEF2. ❧ The first study explores the molecular interactions between the MEF2 family and the class IIa HDACs. This study revealed that the interfaces between the class IIa HDACs and the MEF2 proteins are sensitive to localized mutations and, therefore, likely targets for inhibition by small molecules. Moreover, we established a mammalian two-hybrid assay that can serve as a screen for small molecule inhibitors of MEF2:HDAC4 interaction. ❧ The second study establishes that the commercially available small molecule, BML-210, which belongs to the pimeloylanilide o-aminoanilide (PAOA) class, is an inhibitor of MEF2:HDAC4 interaction in vitro and in vivo. Specifically, we showed that these small molecules blocked the recruitment of class IIa HDACs to MEF2-targeted genes and enhanced the expression of those targets. Based on structural and functional studies, we synthesized a series of new PAOA compounds, some of which were more potent inhibitors of MEF2:HDAC interaction. ❧ The final study examines the effect of these MEF2:class IIa HDAC inhibitors on learning and memory. In this blind study, we showed that wild type (WT) mice treated with a PAOA molecule displayed enhanced learning and memory compared to mice treated with an inactive PAOA compound. Furthermore, in a similar study, treatment of cultured cortical neurons with PAOA led to a significant decrease in the excitatory synapse number, suggesting, that the effect of PAOA on learning and memory might be through regulating synapse formation. These findings link the inhibition of MEF2:HDAC interaction to MEF2 dependent synaptic morphogenesis, learning and memory. ❧ Collectively, our work describes the first example of sub-class specific HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) that disrupt the protein-protein interaction between the class IIa HDACs and its cofactors. In addition, as evident from the final functional study on the effect of these compounds on synapse formation and memory, the compounds developed here can be used not only as tools to study the MEF2 proteins and class IIa HDACs in vivo but also as leads for drug development.

Energy Globe "Best Practice Action Week" starts on 5th June
The national Energy Globe winners recently received their awards at ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA offices of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber around the globe. The Action Week will kick off on 5th June 2012 with presentations of the winners and their projects available online on the Energy Globe Award.
Mastering the energy question will be one of the future's greatest challenges. With this mind, the UN has dedicated 2012 to the topic of "Sustainable Energy for All" and invited Energy Globe to join a mutual global initiative. Celebrating World Environment Day 2012 and in cooperation with UNEP, UNIDO and UNESCO, Energy Globe will be starting its online best practice Action Week on 5th June 2012. Here the Energy Globe Award online portal will present sustainable projects from the Energy Globe winners of 151 countries. "A global initiative like no other in which we will be presenting fantastic environmental solutions and helping individuals discover the ways in which they can save energy", Energy Globe founder, Wolfgang Neumann.
In the run-up to this, the national Energy Globe winners have received their awards at the ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA offices of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (WKÖ). For Christoph Leitl, President of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (WKÖ), the responsible approach to resources is one of the Austrian economy's most important contributions to sustainable, forward-looking growth. It's to do with coming together for the benefit of our environment. "Responsibility has become a key element of their business for Austrian companies, also making it an important competitive factor for exports. Everyone must pool their strengths even more intensively and apply them to ecological sustainability", explains Leitl.
Today the Energy Globe Award is the world's most important environmental accolade. It recognises projects – from high-tech to simple – which deliver efficient ideas and answers to environmental problems, be it through energy efficiency, renewable energy applications or a cautious approach to resources.

I've been asked about DC's announcement that it was planning to relaunch 52 titles with new continuity and new #1s — and while my time is short today, I can make a few observations about the historical record. After so many months of talking about prices, it's a change of pace to talk about a different number on the cover.
First there are differing experiences when it comes to new numbering, and new continuity. Sometimes we have them both at once; sometimes, we only have one or the other. John Byrne's Superman: The Man of Steel in 1986 represented a continuity reboot, under a new title; the new continuity was eventually reflected in the other Superman titles which were not renumbered. (The existing Superman title was later renamed Adventures of Superman to permit a new Byrne Superman series — but the original series continued its numbering, and in fact, changed back to Superman with #650.) When Amazing Spider-Man renumbered in the late 1990s, it was began as a partial continuity reboot, drawing elements from Byrne's Spider-Man: Chapter One; the continuity changes later were eliminated, and but the new numbering continued for several years. There are many examples of simple series renumberings, without continuity restarts; most every publisher has done them, including Archie. (Note: The previous passage has been amended to reflect the undone-continuity that did appear in ASM Vol. 2; thanks to Mike Partyka for reminding me of it.)
The numbers historically tend to suggest that renumbering alone, for its own sake, doesn't do an awful lot beyond the first-issue effect sales boost unless associated with other elements, such as new creative teams, a new over-arching storyline, or other enhancements that impact a series across time. Kevin Smith's Daredevil received a new #1 in 1998 and had major sales benefits that stuck for years; others tailed off more quickly. Amazing Spider-Man had preorders in the 60,000s up until its cancellation and replacement with Vol. 2, #1 in late 1998; sales indeed spiked, but even with Byrne, were back to the 60,000s within a year. The 1999 Incredible Hulk numbering restart, again with Byrne added, returned to the 40,000s where it had been by #6.
No change in the titling and numbering of a series can be evaluated without regard to creator and story factors — and as we've seen, every case is different. In general, however, we do know that renumbering can be a double-edged sword. The first-issue boost is almost always there, and is often substantial. But we also know that higher numbering on a comics title tends to be associated, on average, with slower issue-by-issue deterioration in sales. Retailers ordering in advance cut orders from #1 to #2 far more deeply than they would from a #101 to a #102, where they have established readerships. Now, in the case of a renumbering of an existing series, the new series retains most of the longevity benefits of its connection with the precursor title — but not all, as some long-time collectors decide to call it a complete set and stop buying. So you're looking for a really big boost from the new #1 — substantial enough so that you're not right back where you were in a few months.
One big renumbering and new continuity test case we have is "Heroes Reborn" from September 1996 and "Heroes Return," from November 1997, when The Avengers, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, and Captain America both rebooted continuity and started with new #1s. We don't have numbers as to how "Heroes Reborn" changed Marvel's sales, because of the Heroes World pause in sales reports — but they did move the needle substantially. But with "Heroes Return," when Marvel renumbered the books a second time a year later, the effects of new #1s vanished from the preorder numbers on several of the titles inside three months. Perhaps it was because it was the second restart in a year, perhaps it was what was going on in the books; again, all restarts are not created equal. The restarts also came in a declining market, and across time, no single factor has more effect on the number of copies ordered than the number of comics shops. (Update: See all the figures for Heroes Reborn and Heroes Return.)
I wrote much more about this topic in "The Incredible Shrinking Legacy," my column in Comics Buyer's Guide #1614, March 2006 — in which I advocated long-running titles with continuous numbering to be a good thing, connecting readers with the hobby's past. They also make it easier for collectors to engage in the hobby: repeated renumberings of Punisher have made it pretty hard for collectors to know what books they're talking about. That said, while I saw the renumbering wave of the late 1990s as mostly a marketing move, I also felt that these things came in waves; Marvel worked in the 2000s to re-establish continuous numbering on many of its titles, and DC reunified Adventures of Superman with Superman.
I tend to feel this way today, and, having observed some more publishing efforts, am somewhat less concerned by the number on the cover. There are some good reasons to renumber: surely, there are few better ways to psychologically signal a break from the past. The Silver Age Green Lantern didn't pick up the Golden Age series' numbering, which it very easily could have. The successful changes stick; if they don't, numbering can be restored unless it's too far gone. Captain America was very hard to knit back together numerically — it's like half-a-dozen series plus Tales of Suspense — but it was accomplished.
I also think that there are cases where avoiding a #1 has led to a net benefit. Frank Miller and Jim Lee on Batman provide good examples. "Year One" and "Hush" could easily have been their own miniseries, with their own #1s — but by placing those stories in the ongoing runs of the regular series, DC boosted sales on the title long after they were done. Again, established series generally see smaller issue-to-issue drops. Would sales have been better on the imaginary Batman: Hush #1 than they were on the Batman #608 that actually came out? Probably — #608 was under-ordered relative to later issues in the storyline when readers knew where to look for it. I, myself, accidentally ordered Detective rather than Batman in late 1986, mistakenly thinking that's where "Year One" was. But orders of the post-Miller and post-Lee issues of Batman were better for their having been part of the series, and perhaps that's more valuable long-term.
DC's move is the largest renumbering we've seen — Valiant/Acclaim did it in the mid-1990s, which I think is the previous record-holder. It'll be interesting to see what the impact is. And whatever's going on in continuity, if, at some point, an Action Comics #1000 looks more worth having than an Action Comics Vol. 2 #98 (or whatever it'd be), I suspect we'll see it.
|"Shadow numbering"
(Click to enlarge)
Addendum: Prior to restoring the original numbering to its long-running titles, Marvel instituted "shadow numbers" on some of its titles, which, while not the official numbering as far as collectors are concerned (that's found in the indicia), were intended to be helpful to readers who chose to consider the numbering as consecutive. (An example appears on the issue at right: The official number is at left, with the whole "shadow number" at right. Click to enlarge.)
That numbering paved the way for the eventual return to the original numbering — which coincided, not surprisingly, with anniversary issues such as Fantastic Four #500. No word if DC plans this. Such a move might convey the message that the new numbering was never intended to be permanent, which probably isn't the message of choice.

I think I understand now why some less-than-appropriate speakers are appearing at the Reason Rally: those are the siesta breaks.
I owe this revelation to a church sign. Just turn your brain off for five minutes turn to your neighbors and start a conversation, just cool off and ignore the bozo on the screen.
Also as I've been learning on twitter and elsewhere on the blogosphere, this event is not one where atheists stand up and let their values shine, it's one where we're supposed to bow and scrape and show that we can be accommodating to senators and other assholes.
But what if I don't want to get along with them? What if I want us to change the world?

Colder storm blunts Truckee River flood threat
After an all-out effort by residents and business owners to prepare for a possible flood on the Truckee River in Nevada and California, the threat was declared over on Sunday afternoon.
A powerful storm delivered more snow and less rainfall Sunday to the Sierra Nevada than forecast, blunting the flood danger on the river, forecasters said.
The National Weather Service lifted all flood warnings on the river and said the river would crest below flood stage around Reno and Truckee, Calif.
Forecasters originally had said major flooding would occur at Truckee and minor to moderate flooding at Reno and Sparks.
"We definitely dodged a bullet on this," forecaster Dawn Fishler told The Associated Press. "We're just lucky that even though we were prepared, we didn't have the worst of it occur."
If a cold front hadn't arrived several hours earlier than expected, Fishler said, the region would have seen 2 to 3 more inches of rain and significant flooding on the Truckee.
The snowpack is able to absorb water for a while, she added, but melts away after a certain amount of rainfall.
On Jan. 1, 1997, a huge Sierra snowpack washed out in heavy, warm rain, causing a major flood on the Truckee that swamped much of Reno, including the downtown casino area. The last major flood on the river was in late December 2005.
In Truckee, 30 miles west of Reno, officials expressed relief after the town of 16,000 received 4 to 5 inches of snow in the morning instead of heavy rain.
"It's very good news for us," Assistant City Manager Alex Terrazas said. "Things are certainly better than they could have been."
Northern Nevada authorities declared a state of emergency Friday after forecasters issued a flood warning for the length of the Truckee. Roads were closed and sandbags were placed outside homes and businesses.
Until the snow let up Sunday afternoon, tire chains were mandatory on all vehicles except four-wheel drives on all three major highways linking the Sacramento and Reno areas: Interstate 80 over Donner Summit, U.S. 50 over Echo Summit and State Highway 88 over Carson Pass.
Rockslides were reported Sunday on Highway 89 near Emerald Bay on Tahoe's west shore and along I-80 west of Reno.
The storm also shut down lifts at many Tahoe-area ski resorts Sunday, including Boreal, Kirkwood, Heavenly, Mt. Rose and Squaw Valley.
According to the weather service, a much weaker system will bring a chance of snow to the Sierra on Tuesday night and Wednesday, then there will be a period of dry weather.

HOUSTON – MLS Commissioner Don Garber joined with the Houston Dynamo to host a press conference Tuesday in advance of the 2010 MLS All-Star game featuring Manchester United at Reliant Stadium on July 28th.
"This is another great moment for Major League Soccer," Garber said. "This is a unique and special format in all of sports. Not only do we have a sponsor for the game, but we pit our players against the some of the best competition in the world."
The MLS All-Stars have traditionally held their own against some of the best competition in the world. In years past, the MLS All-Stars have defeated Chivas, West Ham United, Chelsea, and Celtic, and played Everton to a 1-1 draw before falling in penalty kicks.
Vote for the MLS All-Stars now!
"I am not going to put myself in a position to predict a victory, but we've done pretty well in these games and we hope to have a very competitive match when we get into the stadium," Garber said. "We're not yet the EPL or La Liga or Serie A, but we can come together and stand toe to toe with some of the best clubs in the world."
Manchester United, though, is cut from a different cloth. Recently ranked by Forbes as the most valuable sports franchise in the world, the Red Devils bring both talent on the field and dynamic mass-market success in the stands.
"We want to make this the biggest and best All-Star game in history," said Dynamo chief operating officer Chris Canetti. "We believe it will be a defining moment in growing our team, our league, and sport in this market and internationally and we are looking forward to it."
The All-Star game will be broadcast in over 100 countries around the world. More than 16,000 tickets have already been sold to season ticket holders for the Dynamo and the NFL's Houston Texans, with group tickets available to the public on Wednesday.
"We will have a great crowd, great hospitality, a great audience on TV and this will be a terrific event for our league and for soccer fans in this country," Garber said.
Both Canetti and Garber believe that this particular All-Star game will be buoyed by the lead-in provided by the World Cup.
"The interest of soccer should be so great in this country," Garber said. "I don't know that anyone fully understands what is going to happen in a few weeks when the world cup hits this market. Both broadcast partners are going to make it a big event and we are going to come out of that with [a match featuring] one of the most storied clubs in the world coming to the city and playing against our best players. So it's a great way to capitalize on all the interest and excitement from the World Cup."
"Only 71 days, " Canetti said. "Let the countdown begin."

Unprecedented Snowfall
It's looking more and more likely that sleet and snow will fall by Friday morning into the afternoon. If the area picks up on measurable snow it would be the latest ever recorded in Fayetteville and Fort Smith.
This has forecasters like us scratching our heads regarding totals. This is new territory for us. Are the models overdoing it? What will the surface temperatures be? These are very important questions in forecasting accumulation.
Our RPM model is showing up to an inch of sleet and snow across northwest Arkansas, and up to 2 inches throughout northeastern Oklahoma.
The River Valley will see a wintry mix; however, accumulations would likely remain below an inch. This forecast will change. We are basing the totals of the latest model runs, so check back with us for the lastest!

The purpose of this assessment is to discuss and, where possible, quantify the benefits and costs of the final accessibility guidelines for recreation facilities issued by the Access Board under the authority of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The final guidelines supplement the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and provide additional guidance to designers, owners, and operators of recreation facilities on meeting their statutory obligations to make newly constructed and altered portions of facilities accessible to individuals with disabilities. The final guidelines address amusement rides, boating facilities, fishing piers and platforms, golf courses, miniature golf courses, exercise equipment, bowling lanes, shooting facilities, swimming pools, wading pools, and spas. The final guidelines apply to new construction and alterations.
The benefits of the final guidelines are not quantifiable, but are significant and are consistent with the President's New Freedom Initiative for Americans with Disabilities. The primary benefit is the fulfillment of civil rights realized by individuals with disabilities. There are 52.5 million Americans with disabilities. Almost one in five adults has some type of disability. Among individuals 15 years old and over, 25 million have difficulty walking or using stairs. The final guidelines will result in newly constructed and altered recreation facilities that are accessible to individuals with disabilities and will enable them to participate in a wide range of recreational opportunities. Individuals with disabilities can also realize significant health benefits by participating in the range of recreational opportunities made accessible as a result of the final guidelines.
Designing facilities to be accessible from the beginning generally has minimal impact on the total construction costs of a new facility. Most of ADAAG does not add features or space to facilities, but rather requires that features commonly provided meet certain specifications so individuals with disabilities are included. In quantifying the costs of the final guidelines, the assessment has focused on requirements that add features to or have space impacts on recreation facilities. The total annual costs of the final guidelines are shown below. The assessment also discusses how the final guidelines affect small entities and steps taken to minimize significant economic impacts on them.

The Northeast Texas Trail wouldn't be anything without it's amazing volunteers and wonderful donors. Without their contributions, we wouldn't have made it as far as we have today. But the trail is far from complete and there's still plenty left to get done. Check out our volunteering page for details on how you can help.
