Local writer Danielle Evans at Busboys and Poets on Dec. 5.
(John Wilwol)
Local writer Danielle Evans, author of the award-winning collection “Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self,” dazzled an intimate crowd hosted by D.C.-based nonprofit Teaching for Change at the 14th & V Busboys and Poets on Monday night. The D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities co-sponsored the event and distributed free copies of Evans’s book to K-12 teachers in attendance.
The 20-something-year-old winner of the 2011 PEN American Robert W. Bingham Prize sat alone on stage and prepped the audience of about 40 for an extended selection from one of her stories. “There’s this persistent rumor out there that I’m a short story writer,” she said wryly. “But I’m actually a long story writer.”
As the wait staff casually circled beneath her, Evans rattled off a devastating excerpt from “The King of a Vast Empire, ” a story about a family traumatized by tragedy in “Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self.” Punctuating lines with a shake of her head, Evans read, “She went back to her bed and slept there for the rest of our adolescence, though her nightmares continued; I could hear them through the wall.” Evans then fielded questions before signing copies of her book. She talked about her writing and editing process — “Part of the fun of being a writer is being your first reader” — and emphasized the “haunting” quality of fiction, particularly short stories. “A good short story should keep you up at night,” she said. Evans said she “wasn’t thinking about a book” when she began the pieces that would eventually comprise “Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self.” “I was just writing stories.” But then she realized that those stories spoke to one another. Donna Kate Ruskin’s “The Bridge Poem, ” the collection’s epigraph, ultimately tied the stories together for her. Evans, who also teaches literature at American University, cited Colum McCann’s 2009 National Book Award-winning “Let the Great World Spin” as one of the best books she’s read this year. She also loved Mat Johnson’s 2011 novel “Pym, ” about an ex-professor’s obsession with Edgar Allan Poe’s only novel.
As the evening drew to a close, one audience member asked Evans whether she ever found the experience of writing fiction cathartic. “No, it’s not cathartic,” she said after a pause. “I’m trying to write my way into understanding.” By	John Wilwol

Distinctive transcriptome alterations of prefrontal pyramidal neurons in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. - PubMed - NCBI

Schizophrenia is associated with alterations in working memory that reflect dysfunction of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) circuitry. Working memory depends on the activity of excitatory pyramidal cells in DLPFC layer 3 and, to a lesser extent, in layer 5. Although many studies have profiled gene expression in DLPFC gray matter in schizophrenia, little is known about cell-type-specific transcript expression in these two populations of pyramidal cells. We hypothesized that interrogating gene expression, specifically in DLPFC layer 3 or 5 pyramidal cells, would reveal new and/or more robust schizophrenia-associated differences that would provide new insights into the nature of pyramidal cell dysfunction in the illness. We also sought to determine the impact of other variables, such as a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder or medication use at the time of death, on the patterns of gene expression in pyramidal neurons. Individual pyramidal cells in DLPFC layers 3 or 5 were captured by laser microdissection from 36 subjects with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and matched normal comparison subjects. The mRNA from cell collections was subjected to transcriptome profiling by microarray followed by quantitative PCR validation. Expression of genes involved in mitochondrial (MT) or ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) functions were markedly downregulated in the patient group (P-values for MT-related and UPS-related pathways were <10(-7) and <10(-5), respectively). MT-related gene alterations were more prominent in layer 3 pyramidal cells, whereas UPS-related gene alterations were more prominent in layer 5 pyramidal cells. Many of these alterations were not present, or found to a lesser degree, in samples of DLPFC gray matter from the same subjects, suggesting that they are pyramidal cell specific. Furthermore, these findings principally reflected alterations in the schizophrenia subjects were not present or present to a lesser degree in the schizoaffective disorder subjects (diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder was the most significant covariate, P<10(-6)) and were not attributable to factors frequently comorbid with schizophrenia. In summary, our findings reveal expression deficits in MT- and UPS-related genes specific to layer 3 and/or layer 5 pyramidal cells in the DLPFC of schizophrenia subjects. These cell type-specific transcriptome signatures are not characteristic of schizoaffective disorder, providing a potential molecular-cellular basis of differences in clinical phenotypes.

Comparison of the main effect of disease relative to the covariate of schizoaffective disorder
(A) The effect of disease relative to the effect of the covariate of schizoaffective disorder is shown for each of the 1,000 permutations where a significant effect of schizoaffective disorder was detected in both layers 3 and 5. Due to the filters used for detection of DEPs, there are no data points around a disease effect equal to zero. Note that the main effect of disease and effect of schizoaffective disorder are in the opposite directions in both layers. (B) Heat map illustrating the transcripts that were differentially expressed in pyramidal neurons between subjects with schizophrenia (SZ) and subjects with schizoaffective disorder (SAD) for each layer. Due to the high number of DEPs, only transcripts with a minimum log 2 transformed expression level ≥5 are shown for each layer. In addition, for layer 5 only DEPs with a disease effect greater than +/−0.7 are shown. (C) Log 2 transformed transcript expression levels for UQCRFS1 in layer 3 and UBL5 in layer 5 for comparison (CR), schizophrenia (SZ) and schizoaffective disorder (SAD) subjects. For each transcript, groups not sharing the same letter are significantly different by Tukey post-hoc analysis.

Advances in the Study of Behavior, Volume 29 continues to serve scientists across a wide spectrum of disciplines. Focusing on new theories and research developments with respect to behavioral ecology, evolutionary biology, and comparative psychology, these volumes foster cooperation and communications in these dense fields. The aim of Advances in the Study of Behavior remains as it has been since the series began: to serve the increasing number of scientists who are engaged in the study of animal behavior by presenting their theoretical ideas and research to their colleagues and to those in neighboring fields. We hope that the series will continue its "contribution to the development of the field," as its intended role was phrased in the Preface to the first volume in 1965. Since that time, traditional areas of animal behavior have achieved new vigor by the links they have formed with related fields and by the closer relationship that now exists between those studying animal and human subjects.

Business Day | THE MEDIA BUSINESS: ADVERTISING THE MEDIA BUSINESS: ADVERTISING; Schwab takes another kind of swipe at the big Wall Street firms in a new campaign.
By PATRICK MCGEEHANOCT. 28, 2002
THE last set of ads from the Charles Schwab Corporation made executives at Wall Street brokerage firms angry. The next campaign might just make them cry.Having mocked traditional brokers as cynical stock peddlers, Schwab's new tack is to flaunt the customers it has stolen from them. In TV and print ads that will begin appearing this week, Schwab is showcasing customers who transferred their accounts from larger rivals like Merrill Lynch & Company.Although most investors have seen the value of their portfolios dwindle for more than two years, Schwab's customers keep depositing much more money with the firm than they withdraw. The ads say that individual investors have shifted $30 billion into accounts at Schwab so far this year. But its customers' unwillingness to trade has wiped out most of Schwab's profits and more than a third of its staff.To reduce its dependence on trading commissions, Schwab has been adding more traditional brokerage services and, for an annual fee, offering to advise customers on how to manage their money. The new ads present Schwab as a viable alternative to the big Wall Street firms, while emphasizing that Schwab does not share the conflicts of interest that come with having an investment banking business. Continue reading the main story
Other firms that have depended on online trading are taking different approaches. E*Trade has shifted most of its ad spending toward selling mortgages and other banking products to its brokerage customers. Ameritrade, which has not diversified into other lines of business but recently purchased a competing online broker in Datek, just started an ad campaign that encourages investors to buy stocks of companies they believe in by asking ''What's your share?''The tone of all of the brokerage firms' ads has veered sharply away from the giddiness they evoked during the stock boom of the late 1990's. Long gone are the tattooed teenagers whose trading profits paid for helicopters, as are fun-loving celebrities like Ringo Starr and Anna Kournikova. Indeed, some have found Schwab's recent ads to be downright nasty.In May, Schwab started airing a set of TV spots that pointed up the conflicts of interest of Wall Street firms that cater to both individual investors and corporate clients. The most controversial of those depicted a sales manager at an unidentified brokerage firm exhorting his troops to sell the stock du jour.''Let's put some lipstick on this pig,'' the manager tells them.Schwab's timing was impeccable. The ads appeared about six weeks after Eliot Spitzer, the attorney general of New York, publicly contended that Merrill's stock analysts had recommended stocks of companies they had privately maligned. In one e-mail released by Mr. Spitzer, a Merrill analyst called one of his recommended stocks a ''dog.''The verisimilitude prompted the CBS network to reject the ad, drawing more attention to the campaign. Rival firms accused Schwab of depicting them unfairly and throwing fuel on the regulatory fire that has spread from Merrill to all of Wall Street.David S. Pottruck, co-chief executive of the Schwab and a vocal critic of Wall Street ethics, shows no remorse. ''It sounds like anyone who took offense must have a guilty conscience,'' he said in a telephone interview from Schwab's San Francisco headquarters on Friday.Those ads, which ran through last week, served their purpose of telling investors that ''we're not another one of those guys,'' Mr. Pottruck said.
Although Wall Street firms claim they have not been losing business to Schwab, Mr. Pottruck said he has evidence to the contrary.''We don't believe the money coming to us is coming from mattresses,'' he said. ''We've never seen any feathers or polyester on the stock certificates or cash.''
Investors sent about $11 billion more into Schwab than they took out of accounts there last quarter, compared with a net flow of $3 billion into Merrill during the quarter. But Merrill and other traditional brokerage firms, like Morgan Stanley and UBS PaineWebber, now charge many of their customers fees for managing their money, so they profit even if the customers do no trading.Schwab's profits are tied more directly to the number of trades its customers make, and those numbers have been depressed for more than a year. Schwab customers paid for only about 130,000 trades a day last quarter, down from more than 200,000 a day in the third quarter two years ago.To recover, Schwab needs to attract more investors like Pete Ivey, an engineer for a utility company in Atlanta. In one of the new ads, he says he switched because at Schwab, ''You don't have to be a millionaire to get personal attention.'' Mr. Ivey, 43, said in an interview that he had moved about $170,000 from Merrill this year after the firm told him that his family's accounts were no longer big enough to merit the services of one of Merrill's 14,000 brokers.Mr. Ivey described himself as the sort of self-directed investor that Schwab traditionally has served. Before buying stocks, he reads research reports from independent companies like Value Line. But he said he has been considering Schwab's invitations to become a customer of its advice-based service.''I had a bunch of cash that I was getting ready to put to work when I was at Merrill,'' he said. Since moving to Schwab, he has been inching back into the market by buying some funds. ''Schwab's getting some commissions off me,'' he said.The investors portrayed in Ameritrade's new ads, which were created by Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide in New York, part of the WPP Group, are not real customers like Mr. Ivey. Instead, those ads show people musing about being the owners of big companies like Nike, then showing what their stake actually amounts to.Anne L. Nelson, Ameritrade's chief marketing officer, said the company planned to spend $100 million to $120 million over the next year on the campaign, which includes seven TV spots as well as print ads.E*Trade is making less noise on television than it has in about four years. With trading activity ebbing, E*Trade has turned to direct marketing to sell home equity loans and certificates of deposit to its base of brokerage customers. The company, which is sponsoring the Rolling Stones concert tour, will decide soon whether to sponsor the Super Bowl halftime show for the fourth year in a row, said Pamela Kramer, E*Trade's chief marketing and media officer.E*Trade took its own pokes at Wall Street several years ago with ads that encouraged investors to ''boot your broker.'' But the whimsy went the way of the dot-com stocks. E*Trade's current message, Ms. Kramer said, is ''about making the most of your cash and your investment in your home.''

“Clean room and well maintained but no trash bin”
No trash bin provided and they do not offer lunch and dinner so you need to go out and search for nearby restaurant.
normita aus Philippinen
if you can put a hot and cold shower ?
“Fairly good, still needs to improve in facilities”
Room space is very comfortable. Trash bins are needed inside the room. Exhaust fan, waterheater in toilet/bath should be functional.
“A nice place to stay in Baler, especially when you have children with you. ”
The only problem is th
“Clean and spacious rooms and very accommodating staff”
We we're supposed to stay on October 15-16, but we opted to move our Baler trip on October 29-30 due to typhoon Karen. The staff (Kuya Sam) was very accommodating and re-scheduled our stay without any hassle. Upon arrival he let us choose which room to stay in. The rooms were very spacious and clean. It was enough for 4 people but there were only the two of us. The air conditioning was not very effective though and there was no water heater. It was a little far from the town center or the beach but it will only take about 5 minutes by tricycle to get either location. They also offered a tour package of Baler via a tricycle and was very flexible enough to stretch our tour over two days (we went to the the Millennium Tree on the first day and continued the rest of the tour on the second day). The staff was also generous enough to let us extend our checkout a few more hours until after we have finished the tour without any additional fee.
“Baler Inn”
The kuya staff (I didn't get the chance to get the name) was nice. OKAY part:
The room was huge. The location is not that far from Sabang beach, market place, bus station and affordable establishments and tourist destinations. The rest of the staff were friendly too. Air-conditioning was great. Overall it was okay. Your money is worth it.
NOT OKAY part:
The pillows were too soft that I needed to put a towel underneath it. I guess its better if i would've asked for another but there were 6 of us so I has second thoughts of asking. It takes time for the water to go down in the shower drain. There might've been so much sand that's causing it to clog. The toilet doesn't flush very well too. The room lacks chairs. There are no hangers inside the cabinet. No hot water for the shower.
I'd look for another place if I'd go back to Baler alone. But for a group of 6 I'd say this is affordable already (20% off during my stay)... considering the cleanliness and the place is fairly new.
I guess I said too much.
Reginald aus Kanada
“SunRise Inn Baler”
I describe our 2 rooms as SPARTAN. They were very clean but no table and chairs in my room and no HOT water for shower in either room. The location is "not" within walking distance of shops and restaurants. However, the Manager was very friendly, accommodating and helpful. He used his tricycle whenever we needed. He recommended and arranged an excellent A/C van tour of Baler sites and beaches (3500 pesos for 7 am to 10 pm). I am a Canadian tourist to help you put my comments in perspective.
“its good for friends ”
we stay here for 3 days its good place to stay.. staff's are very polite.. Bewertet am 11 August 2016
no cable - you have to go the dining area to be able to watch, no hot water for shower, restroom door lock broken, aircon is fixed to 25, they don't replaced towel and toiletries, our room is good for 6 adults but towels are for 4 only (we asked for 2 additional towels since they didn't replaced it on the 2nd day. initially, they asked us to pay for it but they eventually cancel the payment), they don't clean the room while you're checked-in. staff are nice, though. they have free coffee, free use of kitchen wares. no streetlights, or very few, on the road during night time.

Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation By logicchild, 31 Aug 2009

Calling External Data and Methods
Basic Workflow Concepts to Start
A workflow is defined as the basic tasks, procedures, people and organizations, system informational input and output, policies and rules, and tools needed for each step in a business process. The sum of these parts, or components, are required to comprise the whole process required in order to make a business process work. Anyone who has followed Microsoft Corporation’s technological advances may have noticed that one of their first-in-rank goals is to automate the inter-workings of these business process elements with software to enable a going concern to achieve their expected level of progress and profit from those processes. Applications that transfer data use automation, and achieve interoperability with other software vendors’ software. Workflow processing stems from documents having to go from place to place for approval and review. But a specific set of tasks, coupled with decision making, is something that we can generalize. In other words, if a set of financial people need a software package to perform a certain service, then they would need to communicate this need with the IT people and the software developers in order to set up a blue print plan as a baseline. Their terminology may differ, just as the same word may be defined differently by the legal profession and the accounting profession. With this generalized definition of a workflow, this article will examine how to build and call local data services that are external to the workflow. The material for this article is largely referenced from Kenn Scribner's book, Windows Workflow Foundation Step by Step, chapter 8. Having said that, let's explore an informal definition of a workflow. In software, a workflow can be viewed as an executable's representation of a work process. A workflow is a means to organize and run tasks, procedural steps, or activities, and it can involve people either in the same organization or belonging to multiple organizations.
The Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation provides a programming framework and tools for developing and executing a wide variety of workflow-based applications. Assume, for example, an insurance company that wants to ensure performance -- a request for a proposal is handled efficiently from the draft to the final version, which would comprise either the policy or the guidelines under which a policy can be authorized. A workflow can take care of this process and ensure that every person involved in handling the request for the proposal uses the correct document and successfully completes their part in the process before allowing the workflow process to continue to the next step, to the next person.
Now, if a local data service is going to communicate with a workflow, then we must understand how interfaces are used to communicate between the host process and the workflow. How? The Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation makes the creation of applications that contain asynchronous, stateful, long-running workflows a lot easier. The runtime engine manages workflow execution, and allows workflows to remain active for long periods of time and survive computer restarts. Runtime services offer functionality, such as transactions and persistence to manage errors correctly. So, thus far, we now understand that the Windows Workflow is not a standalone application, as it always needs to be hosted by another application.
To build a practical workflow, we will use external data sources designed to transfer data between our workflow and the host application. This article will assume that the reader has dealt with the Microsoft Workflow Foundation before. The purpose of this article is to step through the process of a workflow that seeks and processes data from external sources and returns that data in some processed form to our application (a Windows Forms application that will provide the user interface for the returned data). But first a reminder of activities.
Activities are units of organization of a workflow. They are performed by system functions or people, making them the basic building blocks that comprise a workflow. When you build workflows, you gather the individual activities together and move from one activity to the next. Assume that you have to FTP a file. You open the FTP site, log in, type binary, and type hash for hash printing, and then get the file. This is a task. So, if you divide a business process into parts, you would find that it is composed of smaller, granular tasks. Some activities form a single task. Other activities function as a container for other activities. Here is the basic precept: a container-based activity is chosen to hold all of the rest – that is the root activity. The root activity will either be a sequential activity or a state-machine activity.
When a workflow communicates with its host application (and especially when it receives and sends data), the workflow does so using queues and messages, which is actually handled internally by the workflow. This simplifies the overall process, and allows us to concentrate on writing our application tasks, as the Workflow uses an abstraction layer to buffer the workflow from the host. That abstraction layer simply enables fed input to be flown as output information. In this case, that layer of abstraction is known as the local communication service. Like any service in WF terms, it’s another pluggable service. The difference is that we will write part of the service rather than use the prebuilt workflow service. Why not use the prebuilt service? Because the data you pass between your host application and your workflow is specific to the application. Think of this local service as a connector. Using a tool, I’ll generate activities designed to send and receive data from the workflow’s perspective. From the host application’s perspective, receiving data amounts to an event, while sending data is basically a method call on the service object. Apart from the aforementioned, we also need to add the ExternalDataService to our workflow runtime. ExternalDataService is a pluggable service that facilitates transferring serialized data between workflow instances and the Windows Forms host applications. Note that whatever data we try to transfer, it must be serializable. Whether the transferred data is a string or a set of objects, we must then design an interface that the ExternalDataService can bind to. This interface will contain the needed methods. Noting that we will use a connector, or a “bridge”, we will need to create two classes: a connector class and a service class. With the interface created at our disposal, we’ll execute a tool, which is normally located in the Microsoft SDKs C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin directory that is called wca.exe. This tool is called the Workflow Communications Activity generator utility, and given an interface, it will generate two activities we can use to bind the interface to our workflow instance: one for sending data, the invoker, and one for receiving data, the sink.
Our Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Data Checker
This section below is, again, referenced from Kenn Scribner's book, Windows Workflow Foundation Step by Step, chapter 8, a book which I highly recommend. While this application uses Windows Forms, it could just as well have used an ASP.NET 2.0 web application. The application that we will build is a Windows Forms (C#) application that provides a user interface for gathering motor-vehicle data for specified drivers. This is a very basic application, and the reader should know that calling external data sources actually stresses a concept called “correlation”, a topic that should be studied independently. Below is an image of the main user interface form:
So, when building a workflow, we can generalize at least four steps:
Create the Workflow.
Set the workflow initiation settings according to the scope of your project.
Configure the predefined conditions and activities.
Generate the workflow definition and deployment.
When you click the Retrieve MV Data button, you initiate a workflow instance. The user interface disables the Retrieve button as well as the driver drop-down list control, and displays a type of searching notice (note that it is not an actual progress bar control). The picture below shows the image while it is searching or retrieving the external data that it will process and display.
A Brief Note of Comparison
If you have ever worked with Excel Services, then you have built a repository of Excel documents to manage. When the search engine calls for a specific document, the numerical data is called from an external data source and the Excel workbook (or spreadsheet) is displayed in the form of an HTML web page. The numerical data is checked for data integrity to then populate the Excel workbook that now appears in the form of a web page. While Excel and Internet Explorer are both ActiveX technologies, Excel Services does not allow the same data on its own spreadsheet to appear on another’s desktop without calling an external data source to verify both the calculations and numerical data. This same principle applies to the workflow runtime engine. Every running workflow instance is created and maintained by an in-process runtime engine that is commonly referred to as the workflow runtime engine. There can be several workflow runtime engines within an application domain, and each instance of the runtime engine can support multiple workflow instances running concurrently. When a workflow model is compiled, it can be executed inside any Windows process including console applications, forms-based applications, Windows Services, ASP.NET Web sites, and Web services. Because a workflow is hosted in process, a workflow can easily communicate with its host application.
When the workflow instance has completed its work, it uses an activity we’ll create to fire an event the host application intercepts, which tells the host application that the data is available. Now, because Windows Forms ListView controls don’t bind directly to DataTable objects, we will iterate through the tabular data and insert the rows in the view ourselves after receiving data from the workflow. The completed ListView controls are shown below:
namespace MVDataService
public interface IMVDataService
void MVDataUpdate(DataSet mvData);
The interface above, IMVDataService, requires the ExternalDataExchange attribute in order to be used as an interface for data communication. The ExternalDataExchange attribute is a marker that the workflow uses to identify interfaces suitable for local communications service use.
Using ExternalDataEventArgs
Earlier in this article, I mentioned that, to the host application, communications from the executing workflow appear as events. The host application cannot possibly know beforehand when the workflow instance will have data. So rather than polling the data, as if we were to wait and iterate until the operation is complete, we let WF use the asynchronous model that .NET uses, and fire events when data is available. The host application hooks those events and reads the data. Because we want to send information to the recipient of our event, we need to create a customized event argument class. Anyone who has ever created a custom event argument class has probably used System.EventArgs as the base class. WF external data events, however, require a different argument base class: ExternalDataEventArgs, which itself derives from System.EventArgs, so we are in sync with the FCL namespace hierarchy. Below is the code:
public class MVDataAvailableArgs : ExternalDataEventArgs
public MVDataAvailableArgs(Guid instanceId)
Now is the tricky part, as we must create an external data service to function as a bridge. OK. So, why is this turning into a complicated production? Well, unlike traditional .NET objects, workflow instances are executing within the confines of the workflow. We are not designing a type, defining its members, and creating an object to have the CLR lay out the memory, activate and execute the object. We are bounded in the confines of the workflow defined. That is, events into and out of the workflow instance are brokered by the workflow runtime. Here is the code for the bridge connector class:
public sealed class MVDataConnector : IMVDataService
private DataSet _dataValue = null;
private static WorkflowMVDataService _service = null;
private static object _syncLock = new object();
public static WorkflowMVDataService MVDataService
get { return _service; }
// Re-verify the service isn't null
// now that we're locked...
_service = value;
"You must provide a service instance.");
public DataSet MVData
get { return _dataValue; }
// Workflow to host communication method
public void MVDataUpdate(DataSet mvData)
// Assign the field for later recall
_dataValue = mvData;
// Raise the event to trigger host read
_service.RaiseMVDataUpdateEvent();
Remember that connector mentioned earlier? That it required two classes: a connector class and a service class. Here is the code for the WorkflowMVDataService class:
public class WorkflowMVDataService
static WorkflowRuntime _workflowRuntime = null;
static ExternalDataExchangeService _dataExchangeService = null;
static MVDataConnector _dataConnector = null;
static object _syncLock = new object();
public event EventHandler<mvdataavailableargs> MVDataUpdate;
private Guid _instanceID = Guid.Empty;
get { return _instanceID; }
set { _instanceID = value; }
public static WorkflowMVDataService CreateDataService(Guid instanceID,
WorkflowRuntime workflowRuntime)
// If we're just starting, save a copy of the workflow runtime reference
if (_workflowRuntime == null)
// Save instance of the workflow runtime.
_workflowRuntime = workflowRuntime;
// If we're just starting, plug in ExternalDataExchange service
if (_dataExchangeService == null)
// Data exchange service not registered, so create an
// instance and register.
_dataExchangeService = new ExternalDataExchangeService();
_workflowRuntime.AddService(_dataExchangeService);
// Check to see if we have already added this data exchange service
MVDataConnector dataConnector = (MVDataConnector)workflowRuntime.
GetService(typeof(MVDataConnector));
if (dataConnector == null)
// First time through, so create the connector and
// register as a service with the workflow runtime.
_dataConnector = new MVDataConnector();
_dataExchangeService.AddService(_dataConnector);
// Use the retrieved data connector.
_dataConnector = dataConnector;
// Pull the service instance we registered with the connection object
WorkflowMVDataService workflowDataService = MVDataConnector.MVDataService;
if (workflowDataService == null)
// First time through, so create the data service and
// hand it to the connector.
workflowDataService = new WorkflowMVDataService(instanceID);
MVDataConnector.MVDataService = workflowDataService;
// The data service is static and already registered with
// the workflow runtime. The instance ID present when it
// was registered is invalid for this iteration and must be
workflowDataService.InstanceID = instanceID;
return workflowDataService;
public static WorkflowMVDataService GetRegisteredWorkflowDataService(Guid instanceID)
throw new Exception("Error configuring data service..." +
"service cannot be null.");
private WorkflowMVDataService(Guid instanceID)
MVDataConnector.MVDataService = this;
~WorkflowMVDataService()
_workflowRuntime = null;
_dataExchangeService = null;
_dataConnector = null;
public DataSet Read()
return _dataConnector.MVData;
public void RaiseMVDataUpdateEvent()
_workflowRuntime = new WorkflowRuntime();
_workflowRuntime.GetWorkflow(_instanceID); // loads persisted workflow instances
if (MVDataUpdate != null)
MVDataUpdate(this, new MVDataAvailableArgs(_instanceID));
Creating and Using Custom External Data Service Activities
The reader should read the section below, although all you have to do is unzip the files into a folder, open up MVDataCheckerCompleted, and click the solution file. This will build the application. But below are some of the steps that I followed. The reader should try and get acquainted with the wca.exe tool.
The wca.exe tool can be used to interpret the data-transfer interface, marked with the ExternalDataExchange attribute, to automatically generate activities. If you click “new folder” and name it for these files to be extracted to in your c:\Users\name\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\new folder, you can then use the command:
C:\Users\Dave\Documents\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008\Project\DMV\MVDataChecker Completed\
MVDataService\bin\Debug>"c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\
v6.0a\bin\wca.exe" MvDataService.dll
Processing interface 'MVDataService.IMVDataService'
Generating InvokeMethod for 'MVDataUpdate'
Wrote file: c:\Users\Dave\Documents\ Microsoft Visual Studio 2008\Project\DMV\\
MVDataChecker Completed\MVDataService\bin\Debug\IMVDataService.Invokes.cs
MVDataChecker Completed\MVDataService\bin\Debug\IMVDataService.Sinks.cs
Done processing.  Exiting.
Now, we want to rename IMVDataService.Invokes.cs by using the command shell “rename” command: rename IMVDataService.Invokes.cs MVDataUpdate.cs.
And then, move the file with the move command: >move MVDataUpdate.cs ..\..\..\MVWorkFlow. When you return (while building this manually), right-click the MVWorkflow project’s tree node and click “Add Existing Item”. Now, add the MVDataUpdate.cs file. Compile the MVWorkflow project. If you have succeeded, then you have an MVDataUpdate activity in the toolbox:
Adding the workflow external data service to our host application
Here is the code for the form. Notice the event handler that hooks the returned data event:
namespace MVDataChecker
// Our workflow runtime instance
WorkflowRuntime _workflowRuntime = null;
// Currently executing workflow instance (we'll only have
// one).
WorkflowInstance _workflowInstance = null;
// Initialize the driver combobox
cmbDriver.SelectedItem = cmbDriver.Items[0];
// Create an instance of the workflow runtime
_workflowRuntime = WorkflowFactory.GetWorkflowRuntime();
_workflowRuntime.WorkflowTerminated +=
new EventHandler<workflowterminatedeventargs>(
workflowRuntime_WorkflowTerminated);
_workflowRuntime.WorkflowCompleted +=
void workflowRuntime_WorkflowCompleted(object sender,
WorkflowCompletedEventArgs e)
// Remove the local data service
MVDataService.WorkflowMVDataService dataService =
MVDataService.WorkflowMVDataService.CreateDataService(
_workflowInstance.InstanceId, _workflowRuntime);
dataService.MVDataUpdate -=
new EventHandler<mvdataservice.mvdataavailableargs>(
dataService_MVDataUpdate);
// Clear instance (for application termination purposes)
_workflowInstance = null;
WorkflowCompleted();
void workflowRuntime_WorkflowTerminated(object sender, WorkflowTerminatedEventArgs e)
// Some error...
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Your vehicle record search was " +
"terminated! Error: {0}", e.Exception.Message));
private void cmdRetrieve_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
// Disable the search button
cmdRetrieve.Enabled = false;
// We've selected a driver, so disable the driver selection
cmbDriver.Enabled = false;
// Clear the lists
lvVehicles.Items.Clear();
lvViolations.Items.Clear();
// Show the search controls
lblSearching.Visible = true;
pbSearching.Visible = true;
// Set the cursor to "app starting"
// Process the request, starting by creating the parameters
Dictionary<string,> parms = new Dictionary<string,>();
parms.Add("DriverName", cmbDriver.SelectedItem);
_workflowInstance =
_workflowRuntime.CreateWorkflow(typeof(MVWorkflow.Workflow1), parms);
// Hook returned data event
dataService.MVDataUpdate +=
new EventHandler<mvdataservice.mvdataavailableargs>(dataService_MVDataUpdate);
// Start instance.
_workflowInstance.Start();
void dataService_MVDataUpdate(object sender, MVDataService.MVDataAvailableArgs e)
IAsyncResult result = this.BeginInvoke(
// Retrieve connection. Note we could simply cast the sender as
// our data service, but we'll instead be sure to retrieve
// the data meant for this particular workflow instance.
MVDataService.WorkflowMVDataService.
GetRegisteredWorkflowDataService(e.InstanceId);
// Read the motor vehicle data
DataSet ds = dataService.Read();
// Bind the vehicles list to the vehicles table

Admittedly, this data transfer example does not exemplify a bidirectional data transfer, but rather exemplifies calling data and methods from an external source. One common attribute should be clear, however, and that is there was one to one correspondence between the application and its workflow instance. If you communicate with a workflow instance, you do so with assurance that any data that passes between the application and the workflow should not be confused in any way: one application, one workflow. Other, more advanced cases are possible, however. In my limited knowledge, I have to state that in order to gain a sharper focus on the Windows Workflow Foundation, refer to the referenced material.

WWF4 project? Jhon Ortiz14-Jul-10 12:56 Hi! Thanks for this information. I want to know if you have this project based on WWF4, because I worked a lot of time in that version (v4.0), and I will continue exploring it. Thanks in advance. Regards!
Well written Michael Brookie21-Jun-09 2:37 Thanks for this. I wonder how WF 4 will turn out. A 5 star article.
Re: Well written logicchild22-Jun-09 18:52 Thank you for your feedback. My guess is that if more networked companies perform data exchange using .NET-based applications, then more might share an enthusiasm about the Workflow Foundation.

Caspase-1 activation by inflammasome scaffolds comprised of intracellular nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs) and the adaptor ASC is believed to be essential for production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 during the innate immune response. Here we show, with C57BL/6 Casp11 gene-targeted mice,… (More)
Molecular determinants of high affinity binding of alpha-scorpion toxin and sea anemone toxin in the S3-S4 extracellular loop in domain IV of the Na+ channel alpha subunit.
J C Rogers, Y Qu, T N Tanada, T Scheuer, W A Catterall
alpha-Scorpion toxins and sea anemone toxins bind to a common extracellular site on the Na+ channel and inhibit fast inactivation. Basic amino acids of the toxins and domains I and IV of the Na+ channel alpha subunit have been previously implicated in toxin binding. To identify acidic residues required for toxin binding, extracellular acidic amino acids in… (More)

Apoptotic cell death is important for embryonic development, immune cell homeostasis, and pathogen elimination. Innate immune cells also undergo a very rapid form of cell death termed pyroptosis after activating the protease caspase-1. The hemichannel pannexin-1 has been implicated in both processes. In this study, we describe the characterization of… (More)
A sodium channel signaling complex: modulation by associated receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase beta.
C F Ratcliffe, Y Qu, +4 authors W A Catterall
Voltage-gated sodium channels in brain neurons were found to associate with receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase beta (RPTPbeta) and its catalytically inactive, secreted isoform phosphacan, and this interaction was regulated during development. Both the extracellular domain and the intracellular catalytic domain of RPTPbeta interacted with sodium channels.… (More)
Interaction of batrachotoxin with the local anesthetic receptor site in transmembrane segment IVS6 of the voltage-gated sodium channel.
N J Linford, A R Cantrell, Y Qu, T Scheuer, W A Catterall
The voltage-gated sodium channel is the site of action of more than six classes of neurotoxins and drugs that alter its function by interaction with distinct, allosterically coupled receptor sites. Batrachotoxin (BTX) is a steroidal alkaloid that binds to neurotoxin receptor site 2 and causes persistent activation. BTX binding is inhibited allosterically by… (More)
Molecular determinants of drug access to the receptor site for antiarrhythmic drugs in the cardiac Na+ channel.
The clinical efficacy of local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic drugs is due to their voltage- and frequency-dependent block of Na+ channels. Quaternary local anesthetic analogs such as QX-314, which are permanently charged and membrane-impermeant, effectively block cardiac Na+ channels when applied from either side of the membrane but block neuronal Na+… (More)

Brain sodium channels are complexes of a pore-forming alpha subunit with auxiliary beta subunits, which are transmembrane proteins that modulate alpha subunit function. The newly cloned beta3 subunit is shown to be expressed broadly in neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems, but not in glia and most nonneuronal cells. Beta1, beta2, and beta3… (More)
Cardiac rH1 Na+ channel alpha subunits were expressed in cells of the Chinese hamster lung 1610 cell line by transfection, and a stable cell line expressing cardiac Na+ channels (SNa-rH1) was isolated. Mean Na+ currents of 2.2 +/- 1.0 nA were recorded, which corresponds to a cell surface density of approximately 1-2 channels active at the peak of the Na+… (More)

Macrophages respond to cytosolic nucleic acids by activating cysteine protease caspase-1 within a complex called the inflammasome. Subsequent cleavage and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and IL-18 are critical for innate immunity. Here, we show that macrophages from mice lacking absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) cannot sense cytosolic… (More)
Phosphorylation of S1505 in the cardiac Na+ channel inactivation gate is required for modulation by protein kinase C.
Y Qu, J C Rogers, T N Tanada, W A Catterall, T Scheuer
Inactivation of both brain and cardiac Na+ channels is modulated by activation of protein kinase C (PKC) but in different ways. Previous experiments had shown that phosphorylation of serine 1506 in the highly conserved loop connecting homologous domains III and IV (LIII/IV) of the brain Na+ channel alpha subunit is necessary for all effects of PKC. Here we… (More)
