I dig the idea of how "teachable" .NET Gadgeteer development can be. They let the students and teachers focus on bigger picture of creation and not the minutiae (which is important, but...).
So when I saw this, while there's no Solutions or direct code to download, I still thought this a great Hardware Friday post...
.NET Gadgeteer School Lesson Plans
.NET Gadgeteer can be used in schools to help students make gadgets and learn C# programming along the way. These lesson plans give teachers all the material you will need to run 8 1-hour sessions using .NET Gadgeteer. You will also need the hardware, details of which are given at http://netmf.com/gadgeteer.
The material consists of 8 sessions:
- Session 1: A basic digital camera
- Session 2: Extending the camera (part 1)
- Session 3: Extending the camera (part 2)
- Session 4: Creating a stop watch
- Session 5: Extending the stop watch
- Session 6: Create a simple game (part 1)
- Session 7: Create a simple game (part 2)
- Session 8: Create a simple game (part 3)
Session 1: A basic digital camera
Aim of session
The aim of the first session is to
- put together the hardware components needed to make a basic digital camera
- write the code needed to create a basic digital camera
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this session, pupils will be able to:
- Identify input, output and storage devices on everyday devices
- Identify and put together the hardware components for a digital camera
- Understand that in C# the execution of programming code is triggered by events
- Be able to write simple lines of code to enable the camera to work.
Starter task: input, output and storage devices (10 minutes)
Show students some pictures of devices such as phones, cameras, music players etc ask them to brainstorm what input, output and storage devices these everyday devices might use.
Main session
The structure of the session is as follows
1. Identify hardware components
2. Assemble digital camera
3. Use Gadgeteer Designer to drag and drop components on screen
4. Write the programming code for the camera
Session 2: Extending the camera
Aim of session
The aim of this session is to
- Extend the digital camera to use the LED to indicate when the camera can take a picture
- Further extend the digital camera to save pictures to an SD Card.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this session, pupils will be able to:
- Be able to add new modules to the digital camera
- Be able to explore and select appropriate methods for the multi-coloured LED and SD Card.
- Be able to write to the SD Card
- Be able to write code to create a new field (data attribute) and increment it in C#
- Be able to concatenate a string, including converting an unsigned integer to a string.
Starter task: functions of a digital camera
Look at a "proper" digital camera and brainstorm what its functions are. Students could discuss in groups what else their Gadgeteer camera could do, considering the modules available in the kit.
Main session
The structure of the session is as follows
1. Add an LED to the hardware and to the Designer software
2. Implement the functionality to have the LED turn green when the program starts then momentarily turn red when the camera is busy.
3. Add an SD Card to the hardware and to the Designer Software
4. Implement the functionality to save the pictures to an SD Card
5. Implement the functionality to save pictures with unique names
Through to session 8...
Session 8: Creating a simple game controlled by a joystick (final part)
Aim of session
The aim of this session is to
- Complete the joystick ball-in-a-box game, consolidating previous skills
- Encourage students to explore how they could implement their own ideas for a gadget
Learning outcomes
- Students should be consolidate everything they have learned in the previous sessions
Session Plan
Ask students to recap what they have learned so far. For example, you could ask if they can tell you:
- How to put a new component on to the mainboard and replicate it in the designer
- How to write an if statement in C#
- How to add a new font to Gadgeteer
- How the timer works
- How to declare a whole number
- How to add one to a whole number
Main session
The activities which the students can do to finish the game are:
1. Create a new timer to count down from 60 to 0 and display on the screen
2. Start the game by touching the screen
3. Display a Game Over message with the final score when the time is up!
If you're looking to learn or teach hardware/software development this looks like a great resource that's very approachable ...

The use of the term "pop" to refer to carefully constructed, harmony-laden guitar rock in the mode of Cheap Trick has always seemed strange to me, since this music is not actually popular, and hasn't been since at least the last time the Raspberries hit the Billboard charts. Since "pop" became a genre, it has spawned lots of contenders apparently anxious to become the next Big Star, and ride waves of critical kudos straight to mainstream obscurity. Devotees of the genre often wonder why the masses aren't stirred by these bands' impeccably crafted songs the way throngs of fans once were by the Beatles songs the new bands expertly emulate. The recent Mercury Lounge appearance of Philadelphia's Bigger Lovers, one of power pop's new luminaries who have been attracting some considerable press, afforded an opportunity to consider this question in some detail.
The Bigger Lovers + The Damnwells
2 Mar 2003: Mercury Lounge New York
In concert, the Bigger Lovers sound a lot like the db's. Fans of power pop would probably assume this is a compliment, but it's not, exactly. Like the db's, the Bigger Lovers play competent, detail-oriented songs that seem written just to be well-written songs, and nothing more. Though the songs all tend to be about troubled love in one way or another, they don't inspire much feeling beyond respect for the performers' craftsmanship. The requisite minor-key changes and middle-register harmonies are in place, and live the musicians conducted themselves with consummate professionalism: their stage moves were confident without being ostentatious, their banter functional without being embarrassing. Bassist Scott Jefferson and rhythm guitarist Bret Tobias traded lead vocals, but it made little difference who was singing: both of them had the Peter Holsapple whine nailed perfectly. Neither was going to make you think of Alex Chilton, or even of Ken Stringfellow, for that matter. Lead guitarist Ed Hogarty generated some interesting guitar interplay during the first half of the show, but abruptly switched to a rinky-dink organ that sounded like a broken merry-go-round at a firehouse carnival. But overall the Bigger Lovers achieved a remarkable consistency with their set, such that you could go to the bathroom, or to the bar, and return without feeling you missed anything. Likely you wouldn't know if they were playing a different song.
After a few songs, the polish of their performance began to give their show an air of insincerity, but not because they themselves seemed insincere, the way some of the posturing fake-garage bands do. Bands like the Mooney Suzuki and the Cherry Valence make you feel like you're seeing a hard-rock version of Sha Na Na, where the hallmarks of a moribund style are being exploited for audiences who missed the real thing. The Bigger Lovers, and power pop bands in general, don't practice that kind of phony revivalism. If the Bigger Lovers come across as insincere, it's just because there's nothing in what they are singing about which to be sincere or passionate. They are evidently passionate about songcraft, fitting in middle-eights with the loving attention cabinetmakers lavish on a dovetailed joint. Perhaps if there wrote songs about perfect pop construction there would be some congruity between their interests and their subject matter. But as they go through the motions in their love songs, love itself is rendered formulaic, reduced to a pretense for a pop song and nothing more.
That brings us to the question with which we began, of why power pop never actually becomes popular. One explanation may be that power pop practitioners are too consumed with craft, making their music accessible only to the specialists (e.g. rock critics) who can become enthused over their subtle adjustments of the formula. Power pop bands deliberately detach themselves from living, evolving musical styles and the social concerns they reflect, choosing instead to play ossified music reflecting the social concerns of a bygone generation. Thus they can only attract the interest of those who want to reject the culture they live in, and are willing to forfeit their say in in what direction that culture moves.
That said, there is no reason to begrudge any attention the Bigger Lovers garner from the press. It's a small miracle a band this pretense-free, without important haircuts or fake arena rock poses, attracts any notice at all. Brooklyn's the Damnwells, on the other hand, frequently attract attention for their looks without especially deserving any for their music. Naturally they drew a larger crowd for their utterly bland set in the manner of the Gin Blossoms or the Goo Goo Dolls. While their music is saturated with a transparent earnestness, I'm guessing the only thing these guys are in earnest about is making money.

Is this some rule by the majority? There's more Protestants than Catholics so they've redefined the term "Christian" to refer to them and only them by default? I thought for a while there Catholics were trying to claim that they were the true Christians since Protestants were ignoring Papal decrees. Still to treat Christians which cover so many different denominations that believe in Christ as the Savior as synonymous with Protestants is just inaccurate... but I guess that's why we have shows like "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?" that illustrate the wonders of common knowledge.
The faith argument reminds me of the Applejacks commercial:
Adult: "Why do you kids like applejacks when they dont taste like apples?"
Kids: "We just do!"
I have no problems with believing in something you can't prove or explain. What I'm curious about is why people are fixated on a particular belief? Why not believe in the Olympic gods? The Aztec gods? The Norse (Vanir and Aesir)? The Egyptian gods? The Old Ones? The Living Force? The Singularity? Is the answer "We just do!"? Is it based on which promises a happier ending? Can I propose one where we all become gods with a private little universe to do with as we please? Do I have any takers? I think I will call this religion LoAtIS (Lord of All that I Survey) or maybe Banjoism...

Texas and OU, Count Your Money: The Cotton Bowl's $25 Million Facelift is a Lock
The backdrop, the pageantry, the Fried Everything: There are plenty of reasons the folks at Texas and Oklahoma wouldn't mind keeping the schools' annual rivalry at the Cotton Bowl.
But these are college football guys we're talking about, so you can't underestimate the Big R. The schools split $10 million in revenue with the Red River Rivalry at the Cotton Bowl, Texas AD DeLoss Dodds told the News recently, more than they would if they moved the game back to Austin and Norman. So, yeah: They want to stay here. The sheen on their back-up jets depends on it.
But the sheen on their back-up jets also depends on happy Sooners and Longhorns fans, and that happiness depends on the very swankiest accommodations. Thus the schools' call for $25 million in spruce-ups to the Cotton Bowl, just a few years after the city shelled out $57 mil for the same purpose. Clean it up and the game stays in Dallas through 2020: That's the deal, Pete Schenkel, chairman of the State Fair of Texas' sports committee, told the City Council late yesterday.
"Do we have a signed commitment? No," he said. "We have in Texas what I would call a handshake deal. ... It's ours to lose."

If anyone on the council harbors any hesitation, they weren't saying it on mic. The whole crew basically called the $25 million a no-brainer, with only Ann Margolin and Scott Griggs even pointing out the debt implications.
"This is knocking out other dollars," Margolin said. "I'm going to support it, but I think we need to put that on the table."
Everyone else was all in, with Dwaine Caraway suggesting that the city do an even bigger round of renovations, including artificial turf that could help the stadium host more events without fear of ripping up the grass for the next event.
"We must invest in the Cotton Cowl once and for all ..." he said. "When all these folks come here, all their eyes are on our house. And we can't continue to just patch it."
Caraway was echoing a similar point made by Griggs, who noted that the city was "buying a new stadium $50 million and $25 million at a time."
"It's like an old car that you've gotta keep taking to the shop," Caraway said. "You have to break down and do something you may not be prepared to do and buy a new car."
And where would the city find money to do that in the midst of a budget crisis?
"There are some creative ways for us to find some additional dollars," he said, vaguely. "I have some ideas, but I'm not going to put them out publicly." For some reason I'm picturing a complicated scheme to take down Las Vegas. Although felony bribery might be more fun.
The council will vote to borrow the money next week. Construction would start in January and be finished in time for next year's game, when Lee Corso is expected to christen the improved stadium with his biggest F-bomb yet.

Stellartalked about their newfound popularity and the hot response from military men during their appearance on 'Kim Chang Ryul's Old School' on February 3.
"Do you feel that your popularity has changed for sure in comparison to when you debuted?"they were asked. They replied,"Yes. That's because we had such little popularity when we debuted. The shouting noise is different when we go to music shows."
When asked,"How's the response from the military?"as girl groups frequent army grounds to perform for the soldiers. They replied, "They go crazy in the army. I heard their shouts were so loud that the alarm went off. The ground shook so the camera shook, too."
Not surprising as what soldier stuck among other men 24/7 would not get excited at seeing a girl around? Especially four sexy ones?

Latest additionsThe Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901)The Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901)Charlotte Yonge is one of the most influential and important of Victorian women writers; but study of her work has been handicapped by a tendency to patronise both her and her writing, by the vast number of her publications and by a shortage of information about her professional career. Scholars have had to depend mainly on the work of her first biographer, a loyal disciple, a situation which has long been felt to be unsatisfactory. We hope that this edition of her correspondence will provide for the first time a substantial foundation of facts for the study of her fiction, her historical and educational writing and her journalism, and help to illuminate her biography and also her significance in the cultural and religious history of the Victorian age.The Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901) edited by Charlotte Mitchell, Ellen Jordan and Helen Schinske. A complete electronic edition of the Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge is available online at http://www.yongeletters.com/ Mitchell, Charlotte and Jordan, Ellen and Schinske, Helen (2007) The Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901).

Hello I have a developer server where I have deployed an CLR stored procedure using VS2008. I would like to take this updated CLR stored procedure to an already deployed database, which is located in other server and I do no have VS2008 in that office. How can I deploy this SP? Thanks a lot.
You can perform the deployment manually by "Creating CLR Database Objects". To do this, you essentially need to move the compiled DLL to a directory or file share where it can be accessed by SQL Server. Then run the CREATE ASSEMBLY statement to register the DLL and copy it into the database. create assembly usp_ImportFile from 'C:tempusp_ImportFile.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL The CREATE ASSEMBLY statement copies the contents of the usp_ImportFile.dll file in the c:temp directory into the SQL Server database. The WITH PERMISSION SET clause is used to specify that this assembly can access resources that are external to the SQL Server database. That's needed here because the stored procedure reads an external file. CREATE PROCEDURE usp_ImportFile @filename nvarchar(1024), @columnname nvarchar(1024) OUT AS EXTERNAL NAME usp_ImportFile.[usp_ImportFile.StoredProcedures].usp_ImportFile The CREATE PROCEDURE statement is used to create a new SQL Server stored procedure that uses the CLR assembly. This CLR stored procedure uses two parameters. The first is an input parameter, and the second is an output parameter. The EXTERNAL NAME clause uses a three-part name to identify the target method in the DLL. The first part of the name refers to the assembly name. The second part refers to the class. If the class is part of a namespace, as is the case here, then the namespace must preface the class name and both should be enclosed in brackets. Finally, the third part of the name identifies the method that will be executed.

Shania Twain is having a very merry Christmas -- she's spending it with her new fiance! Shania Twain is engaged!
The country superstar is going to marry Swiss Nestle business executive Frederic Thiebaud. Here's where it gets interesting: Thiebaud is the ex-husband of the woman Shania's ex-husband Mutt Lange was allegedly having an affair with, causing both of their marriages to fall apart.
Shania and Frederic turned to each other in their time of pain and fell in love, the story goes. (The other version of the story goes that it was really Shania and Frederic having the affair and deflected to avoid the bad publicity to Shania's pristine rep, but since it's the holidays we'll give them the benefit of the doubt.)
Shania Twain left Mutt in 2008; their divorce was finalized in 2010.
Shania wrote on her website that Frederic is "a dear friend and true gentleman...We leaned on one another through the ups and downs, taking turns holding each other up. We've become stronger and closer through it all."
"I've never seen Shania so happy," a friend of the singer told Us Magazine. "She has ended up with the love of her life."

Much of what the Titans are doing this offseason is focused on helping young quarterback Jake Locker realize his potential.
Hiring tight ends coach George Henshaw was no exception.
In Henshaw's previous tenure as an offensive assistant with the Titans, from 1997-2005, Tennessee tight ends lined up in a variety of sets and caught 845 passes, more than any other group in the league over that period.
The strategy of throwing plenty of passes to tight ends during that time was a big reason former Titans quarterback Steve McNair saw his completion percentage jump, from 52 percent in his first year as a starter to — eventually — six straight years over 60 percent in Tennessee.
The Titans would love to see the same kind of progress in Locker. He finished his first season as a starter with a 56.4 percent completion rate, one that was lower than 11 of the NFL's 12 starting playoff quarterbacks.

Asafoetida overcomes its reputation for an unpleasant aroma and initial taste by enhancing other flavors and imparting a garlic/onion bite to a variety of ethnic dishes. Become a convert by trying it sparingly with grains and beans, and be sure to stock up on it if you like Indian food.
Asafoetida is an oleogum resin obtained from the living rhizomes and roots of Ferula assa-foetida, a branching perennial relative of fennel. In its most pure form (tears) it is a solid or semi-solid mass, with an intense, pungent, alliaceous odor, and bitter, acid taste. When used in minute quantities it enhances and blends the flavors of other spices, and imparts a delicate, onion-like flavor.

What is more cheerful, now, in the fall of the year, than an open-wood-fire? Do you hear those little chirps and twitters coming out of that piece of apple-wood? Those are the ghosts of the robins and blue-birds that sang upon the bough when it was in blossom last Spring. In Summer whole flocks of them come fluttering about the fruit-trees under the window: so I have singing birds all the year round.

After several delays, Nintendo's Star Fox Zero is finally drawing close to its April 22 release. I'm looking forward to digging into it for real, because it's impossible to get over its learning curve just playing it in demos.
Nintendo hasn't produced a new entry in its anthropomorphic outer-space dogfight shoot-em-up series in quite some time now, so Star Fox Zero on Wii U is something of a comeback. The series' hallmarks are all here: A crew of animal wingmen, an unfolding story told while you're blasting your way through alien planets and asteroid fields, and hidden, branching pathways that lead you to new levels.
What's new for the Wii U version, and what's had early opinions on the game divided since its announcement, is the control scheme: You'll see your ship on the TV screen in the traditional, third-person, behind-the-ship view. As usual. But if you look down at the second screen on your Wii U controller, you'll see a first-person cockpit view. This is not just a visual difference, though: If you want to aim precisely at enemy ships, you have to look from the cockpit. But if you want to see the world around you and dodge out of the way of things, you have to look at the TV.
More to the point, you have to organically make those determinations yourself, as to where you should be looking. If you think that sounds difficult: You're right! There aren't many games out there that force you to look back and forth between two different screens, and so there's a fairly big learning curve there just to break yourself of the habit of looking at a single screen. If you'd been in the room as I demoed the latest version of Star Fox Zero last week, you'd have heard a Nintendo representative keeping up a running commentary: "Okay, you should look at the TV screen to dodge those… you're not going to be able to hit that guy unless you aim with the GamePad… okay, a big beam is firing at you, so look at the TV…" It seemed as if I was always looking in the exact wrong place to be able to react to whatever was happening at that moment.
Now, I don't necessarily think Star Fox Zero isn't going to play well at home. I think at this point that it does not demo well. I am starting to think you need to play the game from the beginning, running through the whole thing as a holistic experience, in order to get yourself acclimated to the strange idea of having to shift your viewpoint in real time on split-second notice according to your current read on the chaos of the battlefield. Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto isn't into making hard games. Then again, the developer on Star Fox, Platinum Games (Metal Gear Rising, Bayonetta) very much is. Who won?
Star Fox Zero, what I saw of it, is a beautiful, enticing game. One late-game level that Nintendo's rep jumped me into was vastly different from the gleaming futuristic cityscape in the game's opening level. It was an alien planet with a red sky, teeming with grotesque and dangerous plant life that was trying to eat me. It felt more like one of Sega's Panzer Dragoon games than a Star Fox, at that point.
The game will include, on a second disc, another game called Star Fox Guard. This is a tower-defense game formerly known as Project Guard that Nintendo showed off a couple of years ago at E3. It, too, uses both the television and the GamePad screen, although I felt while playing it that it makes a little more intuitive sense in how it tackles the two-screen problem. You have a base, which you can see from a bird's-eye view on the lower screen. In it are several security cameras, which you can move around and point in any direction.
When you begin a round, robot enemies begin to invade your base. You have to find them on the cameras, the feeds from which are arrayed on your television screen, then blast them before they get to the center of the base. I think I actually enjoyed playing Star Fox Guard more than the actual Star Fox Zero game, although again, I don't know if that will still hold true once I'm able to spend a decent amount of time with Zero. (If you want, you'll be able to buy it digitally, by itself, for $15 on April 22.)

He has been under the radar until recently. He is holding a offer from Western Carolina currently. However the SEC came calling a few backs when Florida called to invite him to their "Friday Night Lights" camp next week.
Coach Brad Waggoneer, who is now the coach at Chattooga told me recently that he is the fastest player he has ever coached. That is saying something because he coached Calvin Johnson, while he was a assistant at Sandy Creek.
What has the Spring and Summer like for you under Coach Waggoneer?
Senorise Perry-" We have been working really hard trying to get better. We are trying to learn a whole new offense. Last year we were a Wing T and now we are running the spread."
How has your recruiting been going?
Perry-" I have one offer from Western Carolina. I went over to Georgia's one day and they told me I did real good at Safety and Wide Receiver. Florida has called me and I am going down there for their FNL camp. Auburn has also been in contact with me recently."
Do you have a preference on a position in college?
Perry-" I just really want to play. I think I am better on Offense than Defense at this point, but I will play anywhere."
What is your current size?
Perry-" I am 6'1" 190 lbs.
You won the AA state championship as a sophomore in the 100. How did you do this year?
Perry-" Ah man, I pulled my quad and couldn't do much this year, but I will be back next spring."

Pump Up The Volume: TRESemme vs. Living Proof
Hello, Spoiled Pretty readers! I am so excited to be the newest contributor here at SP! First, a little bit about me — I am a Korean-American woman, which means I have naturally poker-straight hair. The good part about my hair is that it's low maintenance and manageable. As for the downside, it's lifeless and as limp as a wet noodle. So what can a girl do about flat, melba-toast hair?
I recently had a body booster face-off with two products that promised to put some pep into my hair: TRESemme 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray and Living Proof Full Thickening Mousse. First up, the spray. The spray comes blasting out of the aerosol can at 100 miles an hour, a la Aqua Net. After a few seconds of spraying the product while hanging my head upside down I looked in the mirror and saw the Bride of Frankenstein looking back at me — body boosting indeed. A quick run-through with the comb and my hair was under control with much more bounce than usual.
For a less dramatic boost to your do', the mousse delivers just like any other mousse. There is no dramatic unleashing as with the spray. What sets this product apart is that it smells absolutely amazing and is so lightweight that you would never know any product is in your hair. That unwanted crunch that some products leave behind is non-existent after applying this mousse. (more…)

Significance of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator and its receptor in the progression of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in clinical and mouse models.
These findings strongly support the use of uPA (show PRAP1 Antibodies)/PAI-1 (show SERPINE1 Antibodies) together with clinic-pathological parameters as an evidence-based, clinically relevant and inexpensive decision tool in the routine of a breast center.
Data suggest that enhanced levels of uPA (show PRAP1 Antibodies) in breast cancer modulate the mitogenic effects of EGF (show EGF Antibodies) which helps to better understand breast cancer pathogenesis.
Results found high levels of uPA (show PRAP1 Antibodies) and uPAR (show PLAUR Antibodies) exclusively in metastatic osteosarcoma (OS)cells and suggest that malignant conversion of OS cells to uPA (show PRAP1 Antibodies)/uPAR (show PLAUR Antibodies) axis in an autocrine and paracrine fashion.
The morphologically normal tissue adjacent to the tumor shows the substantial expression of MMP-2 (show MMP2 Antibodies) and MMP-9 (show MMP9 Antibodies) and in some cases the enhanced activity of uPA (show PRAP1 Antibodies) and ACE (show ACE Antibodies), which makes an additional contribution to the increased invasive potential of tumor

Pharmacological inhibition of either uPA or selected MMPs decreased atherosclerosis in transgenic uPA mice.
Study shows that the competitive expression or activity of tPA (show PLAT Antibodies) and/or PAI-1 (show SERPINE1 Antibodies), rather than an altered uPA expression, determines the plasmin (show PLG Antibodies)-mediated Abeta (show APP Antibodies) proteolysis in brains affected by Alzheimer's disease

Binding of urokinase to urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (show PLAUR Antibodies) promotes dendritic spine recovery and functional outcome after ischemic stroke.
uPA-mediated arterial constriction is a vasomotor process that is mediated by uPA catalytic activity, not by the NH(2)-terminal domains.
Data show that urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is only expressed in the cumulus cells of immature and in vitro matured cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs), while uPA receptor (uPAR (show PLAUR Antibodies)) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1 (show SERPINE1 Antibodies)) are expressed in both the cumulus cells and the immature and in vitro matured oocytes.
uPA/uPAR (show PLAUR Antibodies) binding is involved in signaling pathways that activate transcription factors that regulate the synthesis of molecules concerned with the arrangement of a particular oviductal microenvironment.
These data indicated that E. coli LPS (show IRF6 Antibodies) led to an increase in u-PA activity and RNA expression of u-PA and u-PAR (show PLAUR Antibodies) in BME-UV1 cells, thus strengthening the role of the PA system during pathological processes.
The plasminogen/plasminogen (show PLG Antibodies) activator/plasmin (show PLG Antibodies) system is activated during gamete interaction and regulates the sperm entry into the oocyte.
stage-dependent regulation of granulosa cell PA and SerpinE2 (show SERPINE2 Antibodies) production, consistent with a role in extracellular matrix remodeling during follicle growth.
This gene encodes a serine protease involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix and possibly tumor cell migration and proliferation. A specific polymorphism in this gene may be associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease and also with decreased affinity for fibrin-binding. This protein converts plasminogen to plasmin by specific cleavage of an Arg-Val bond in plasminogen. Plasmin in turn cleaves this protein at a Lys-Ile bond to form a two-chain derivative in which a single disulfide bond connects the amino-terminal A-chain to the catalytically active, carboxy-terminal B-chain. This two-chain derivative is also called HMW-uPA (high molecular weight uPA). HMW-uPA can be further processed into LMW-uPA (low molecular weight uPA) by cleavage of chain A into a short chain A (A1) and an amino-terminal fragment. LMW-uPA is proteolytically active but does not bind to the uPA receptor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Revolutionary overhaul of dinosaur family tree proposed
WASHINGTON Some of the best-known dinosaurs, like Tyrannosaurus rex and Brontosaurus, may be headed for a divorce due to irreconcilable differences.
LONDON A few cups of green tea each day may help prevent heart disease, Greek researchers said on Wednesday.
A study published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation showed further evidence of the potential health benefits from a brew already linked to a reduced risk of a range of cancers and other conditions.
The study showed that green tea improves blood flow and the ability of arteries to relax, said Charalambos Vlachopoulos, a cardiologist at the Athens Medical School in Greece who worked on the study.
Other studies have shown that black tea also has benefits for cardiovascular health.
The Greek team said they believed green tea might be even better because it had higher quantities of beneficial compounds called flavonoids -- some of which are lost in the oxidation process that black tea undergoes.
Flavonoids are also found in cocoa, tomatoes and grapes.
"A couple of cups a day would probably be a good dose for people," Vlachopoulos said. "This is the first study to show these effects for green tea."
The researchers gave 14 healthy volunteers either green tea, diluted caffeine or hot water on three separate occasions and then measured the function of endothelial cells lining the circulatory system.
These cells help relax arteries and ease blood flow.
"What is important is these effects are evident fairly rapidly, within 30 minutes," Vlachopoulos said.
The measurements taken 30, 90 and 120 minutes following consumption showed an almost immediate benefit among people who had drunk green tea, he said.
Heart disease is the world's leading cause of death. It is caused by fatty deposits that harden and block arteries, high blood pressure which damages blood vessels, and other factors.
While the researchers looked only at a short-term impact, Vlachopolous said the team's not-yet-published studies suggest the protection is long lasting.
"Green tea is consumed less in the Western world than black tea, but it could be more beneficial because of the way it seems to improve (circulatory) function," he said.

we're moving!! (back next week)
The Internet and phone are turned off in our old place; we're camping amidst boxes. Needless to say, posting has been erratic…we spent 15 hours yesterday at the new space wrangling electricians, Fios guys, handiman, rug delivery.
We're both overwhelmed and excited by the impending move to new digs, 'the improvised life's ongoing work-in-progress, a move from pre-war to modern.
We're going dark for a week or so while we get things organized…and our wit's about us. See you soon.
And big thanks for all who wrote to wish us well on the new space.

That picture reminds me of the movie Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
-and that through all the (exaggerated ) difficulties they held on to their vision of home .A successful & joyous move ,
Happy new home! I look forward to the return of my favorite blog.
How exciting! Congratulations, you deserve it.
I took a look at this picture. Moving houses always fascinates me (although having moved 6 times in the past 5 years, I feel your pain). ANYway, I recognized the Union Bank building in the background and thought, "Could it be?". That is an Italiannate Victorian house that I think I know pretty well. Angelino Heights, in the middle of LA, is a little enclave of Victorian homes. I used to docent for the Los Angeles Conservancy tour of those homes for several years. That home looks very much like the Italiannate Victorian that was moved to Angelino Heights way back when. There are, I believe, three homes that were moved from elsewhre in Los Angeles to make way for commercial developments of various sorts. I am so wondering if this is indeed one of the ones. The windows and door are in the right places. However, they may have added a porch to the one in AHeights, which would not be unusual. All of the arches are identical…hm-m-m. AHeights was the first suburb of Los Angeles and the homes there were built starting in the 1860's. There was a streetcar that went up the middle of the street – oh now I can't remember the name of the street, Carroll? You must visit – take a tour. I loved doing it.
How lovely- but am missing improvised Life.
Keep coming back to this pic. Aside from boarding school and college accommodation this is only the second house I have lived in. I have a picture of my family's farmhouse being moved 70+ years ago. In one piece- like this, though ours wasn't 2 story, they did knock down lots of trees along the route. -
I miss you Sally!!!!!!
Maris, How amazing that you recognize the house…we found it at random and thought it so perfect an image: the old to the modern. And we felt like we were moving a whole house! Thanks for your great comment.

Baroness Walmsley: My Lords, I thank the Minister for her comments. I regard Amendment No. 22 as simply a belt and braces amendment.
I thank those noble Lords who spoke in the debate, especially the noble Lord, Lord Lucas, who supported my contention that an illustrative list was better than being too prescriptive. I cite in defence my suggestion about a younger boy and an older girl, who would not be protected or be able to be given any advice under the wording of the government amendments.
Like the noble Lord, Lord Skelmersdale, I prefer a positive rather than a negative approach. In this case, I have every intention of being positive. I am not looking a gift horse in the mouthI am most grateful to the Minister for her amendments.
I would like to say to the noble Baroness, Lady Blatch, that I very much recognise that Mrs Gillick had the best of intentions. I shall make no more comment on that matter. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Baroness Scotland of Asthal moved Amendments Nos. 19 and 20:
On Question, amendments agreed to.
[Amendments Nos. 21 and 22 not moved.]
Clause 17 [Meeting a child following sexual grooming etc.]:
Lord Astor of Hever moved Amendment No. 23:
The noble Lord said: My Lords, I shall speak also to Amendment No. 24. The amendments highlight an issue that I raised both in Committee and on Report. I would like to outline why I feel that it is important to extend Clause 17 on grooming to cover those who cannot consent due to a mental disorder or learning disability and why I feel the Government's arguments against widening the clause in that way are not watertight.
First, in considering again the reasons to include this particular category of vulnerable person in Clause 17, I would like to quote the very pertinent point made by the noble Baroness, Lady Howarth, in Committee. She said that,
Those comments make it clear that people with mental disorders and learning disabilities, like children, may be unable to consent to sexual activity but may be encouraged to use computers. The House has already been told of the practices of those who deliberately seek out for exploitation and eventual abuse vulnerable categories of people who cannot consent to sexual activity
It has been suggested that these amendments would restrict the ability of those with a mental disorder or learning disability from having a normal and healthy preliminary sexual relationship. I do not believe that is the case. The clause is about catching those who prey on vulnerable people who cannot consent. The offence is committed only if the person in question could reasonably be expected to know that B could not consent due to a mental disorder or learning disability. I have discussed the matter at some length with the Metropolitan Police, specifically with those who deal with grooming on the Internet, and they say that they can tell easily enough what is exploitative and predatory grooming behaviour and what is harmless conversational friendship.
A further point made to me on Report by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Falconer, who was then the Minister, was that the later clauses, which introduced the use of inducements, threats or deception to take account of the various ways that mentally impaired people can be pressurised into having sex, could deal with the problems my amendments would tackle. However, why should we wait until an offence has been committed? With children, we have a new clause that allows us to step in before an offence is committed. Why should those who cannot consent but are equally vulnerable because they have a mental disorder or learning disability be offered any less protection by the law? That would seem to be a failure to safeguard the welfare of those who may be most open to exploitation and grooming on the Internet.
It is wrong to wait until vulnerable people have been harmed before putting an offence in place. There is potential for grooming to take place; that should be sufficient to merit the broadening of the offence. I beg to move.
Baroness Walmsley: My Lords, I support the noble Lord, Lord Astor of Hever. As he clearly said, it cannot be right to wait until harm has been done to people who, although they are not children, are perhaps childlike in their capacity to make judgments and give appropriate consent to unwarranted behaviour.
Baroness Howarth of Breckland: My Lords, I also support the amendment. The noble Lord has already made my speech, so I shall not make it again.
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: My Lords, I should say how well the noble Lord expressed his concerns on this matter. The Government have carefully considered the appropriate response.
The amendments, tabled in the names of the noble Baroness, Lady Noakes, the noble Lord, Lord Astor, and the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley, would extend the offence in Clause 17 to protect those with a mental disorder who lack the capacity to consent from preparatory, grooming-type activity by those who intend to commit a sexual offence against them. They are effectively virtually the same amendments as were introduced on Report.
The key issue is whether the amendment would be effective and proportionate in better protecting from abuse those who lack the capacity to consent because of mental disorder or disability. We understand the anxiety and fear over that matter. However, it is necessary to consider the effectiveness and consider whether there is any empirical evidence or data to cause us to move on the issue. We have seen no evidence that the proposal responds to a real need that has been demonstrated. That was not the case in relation to the application of the offence to child victims, the need for which was amply demonstrated by real cases. We are anxious about extending an offence which was a specific response to a danger posed to children to adults who, by virtue of a mental disorder or learning disability, lack the capacity to consent. Such adults may be very vulnerable to abuse, but they are not children and their needs are different. Clauses 32 to 46 were specifically designed with those needs in mind, and when we considered the measure, following my noble friend Lord Falconer of Thoroton's undertaking to do so at Committee, we could find no evidence that this measure was needed.
Turning to whether it is a proportionate response, we do not believe it can be, in view of the lack of evidence that it is needed. We do not believe that it is suited to the particular risks posed to those with a mental disorder or learning disability who lack the capacity to consent. In this Bill we are conscious of the balance we must maintain at all times between protection and individual rights. Without persuasive evidence that there is actually a need to extend a
On a personal note, having been involved in a number of cases which dealt with adults suffering from mental incapacity, I can say that there is a real issue because many adults in such situations feel very passionately that they should not be treated as children, that they are often under-estimated. They are able to form relationships on a consensual basis which others find difficult to accept. We are dealing with a very sensitive and delicate area and I assure noble Lords that if there were evidence that would have pushed us to take a different course, we would have looked at that very seriously indeed.
Therefore, to summarise, I believe that the measures contained in Clauses 32 to 46 have been designed on the basis of what we know is needed to provide justice and protection for those with a mental disorder or a learning disability who are subjected to sexual abuse. Clause 17 was designed to deal with a quite separate problem affecting children, and there is no comparable evidence that it should be extended in the way proposed. I must therefore resist these amendments. I do understand the anxiety about this issue but I say to noble Lords that it is an issue that will be looked at in the years to come and will be kept in mind.
Lord Astor of Hever: My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley, and the noble Baroness, Lady Howarth of Breckland, for their support. I was disappointed in the Minister's response; she again used evidence as a reason for not accepting this amendment. The noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley, is correct that it cannot be right to wait until harm has been done. I agree with the Minister that we are dealing with a very sensitive area here. I take heart that she said that this will be looked at closely in years to come. In the light of that, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
[Amendments Nos. 24 and 25 not moved.]
Clause 18 [Abuse of position of trust: sexual activity with a child]:
(d) promoting the child's emotional well-being by the giving of advice,"
5.45 p.m.
Page 7, line 20, leave out paragraphs (c) and (d) and insert ", and
(c) subsection (1B) applies."
"particularly in schools and in special schools, young people, including young people with learning disabilities, are being encouraged to learn how to use computers. Using computers gives them greater confidence and they are often able to use those skills to enhance their quality of life, which otherwise would be even less. That puts them into the same category as others who are vulnerable because they have that access".[Official Report, 1/4/03; col. 1265.]

model of plot diagram - Section 3: Student Learning Activity
Analyze Parts of a Plot Diagram (Day 1 of 2).
Lesson 3 of 5
Objective: SWBAT learn how to complete a plot diagram buy analyzing a teacher created model and completing a short assessment.
I begin with this activator to get a better understanding of what my students know and want to know about plot. I think it is essential that they have a strong grasp of the the basic elements of fiction; plot, characters, setting, theme, and writing style. I think Sherman Alexie has mastered all five. I also feel it is essential for them to understand plot because it will improve their writing because the very best way to improve writing in these, and other areas, is to read a lot of writers who have excellent control in these areas.
We are taking a short detour from the novel by Sherman Alexie because I realized that even though plot is not a grade 9 standard many of my students still have gaps in their learning. I hand out a KWL template and ask students to answer the questions, "What do you Know about the elements of the Plot?" "What would you like to Know?" To check for understanding students report out as I list comments on chart paper. During the Wrap Up I will ask them to fill in the what they Learned about the elements of plot.

Building Knowledge
On Line Plot Quiz #1
After looking at the KW part of the KWL, I expect to discover that my students have gaps in their understanding of the elements of plot. To make sure students understand these elements, I ask them to first take notes in their journals about the elements of a plot.
Next I use an online quiz to get a baseline for what they know and remember. I first ask my students to write down the answers to the thirteen questions as I read them aloud. Then while reviewing each answer as a class, students are asked to correct their wrong answers to the on-line quiz which I project on a screen from my lap top: http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/quizshow.php?title=quiz-on-plot&quesnum=1.

Student Learning Activity
I like using a Plot Diagram because it's an organizational tool which allows students to visualize the key features of the story. I project the diagram on a screen using a docucamera. I originally was going to use what I thought is a popular TV drama, Law and Order, for this lesson but ended up adapting my lesson. I explain to the students that I'm going to tell them a true tragic story that happen in the recent past about the rise and fall of a well known football college coach at Penn State University and how the details of the story unfold RL.9-10.3. Some of my students were familiar with the story but were very interested in hearing the sordid details.
As I told the story, I modeled plotting the events on my diagram for them to see and asked questions such as, "What would be the setting?" "The exposition?" etc.
After modeling the use of the plot diagram, students take the plot diagram quiz 1 for the reasons I explained in the Building Knowledge activity.
Resources (3)
Wrap Up
To give students an opportunity to reflect and summarize their learning, I ask students , "What did you Learn about the parts of a plot?" As they comment I record comments on the Learned section of the chart paper.
I expect my student comments to include:
- the climax is when everything comes together
- falling action ends up in the resolution
- the exposition introduces everything like the setting
