Help! I'm trapped inside the Chamber of Hollers
Tech City trials and shouty Scots
Something for the Weekend, Sir? There's this guy in the office who sits ten feet behind me. Lovely bloke, diligent worker, cares passionately about his job, loud voice. Oh yes indeed, a really loud voice.
It doesn't seem to matter that there's an office divider between us, his voice is as clear and piercing as if he was sitting next to me. It's not even an unpleasant voice, in fact he has a refined Glaswegian accent – if there is such a thing, I suppose, although what do I know? Half my genes were sourced from Leith.
"Shout, shout and shout again!"
Source: BBC
As soon as he picks up the phone, I may as well go make the tea because it's simply impossible to concentrate. He is a shouty man.
Office acoustics have been preying on my mind ever since I threatened to pull up the dirty black – well, I'm guessing it used to be black – carpet across the entire floor. As they say, under the pavement, the beach; or in my case, under the carpet, quality parquet wood flooring.
Previously in this column, I may have – ahem – mentioned in passing that I have begun working on a project that potentially gives me free rein over 2000 sq ft office in London's "trendy" Tech City area on the edge of the capital's financial district. Many of my business neighbours have already taken trendiness a little bit too much to heart, with their glass partitions, shitty little cappuccino machines and exposed brick.
The latter is nothing to boast about. From personal experience, I have found it inadvisable to get pissed at a networking event and then slurringly try inviting potential clients back to a private viewing of your exposed brick. It never seems to, ah, come out right.
At some point in the 1980s, someone made the decision to cover the brick with plaster and smother the parquet floor with carpet. This is consistent with my experience of living in a bedsit during this era, in which successive landlords casually slapped multiple coats of cheap satin magnolia over once-intricate Victorian ceiling roses and – in an artistically distressing case – a pair of unique, delicate plaster moulded faces of angels keeping watch over the hallway.
The freeholder of my office and its previous incumbents claim to have very good reason for such sacrilege against all that is trendy in Shoreditch. Apparently, when they moved in, the combination of the polished wooden floor and very high ceiling produced an echo that became unbearable when the business was in full swing. Even an employee's footsteps as they walked across the room produced a sound like someone hammering.
I don't remember besuited office workers wearing tap shoes in the 1980s but unquestionably these have been superseded in the Silicon Roundabout by hip dudes wearing bouncy and decidedly silent skate shoes. I want the carpet ripped up. However, I am more than a little concerned about the amplification that an echo might produce on my aforementioned colleague's already piercing voice.
What I probably need to do is call in a specialist in acoustics such as those clever guys at Sonata Acoustics or The Sound Agency, except that I can't even afford a wood floor polisher, let alone a bunch of turtle-necked consultants. Coincidentally, The Sound Agency's chairman – seen here delivering his TED talks – used to be my boss for about six months in the 1980s... at probably around the same time as my future Tech City office was being carpeted over.
He was publisher of a weekly trade computer magazine before moving on to a glittering career in specialist technical fields. I was an editorial assistant before moving on to wearing glitter for specialist cosplay.
"We're going to put
Uttoxeter Tech City right back on the map, Jooohn"
Source: BBC
Trade magazine publishing in those days was dominated by high-yield recruitment advertising and Thatcher's sharp-elbowed Britain encouraged competitive bedlam in the advertising departments. The various hoods and tricksters hired to sell ad space would scream into their phones all day long, slamming them down demonstratively and yelling across the room whenever they made a sale, earning a cheer across the office in response.
Dire sales-team incentives conceived by morons made things even worse for the rest of us sharing that office space. They had dress-down Fridays, wear a silly hat Tuesdays, stand-on-your-desk Mondays, speak in a silly voice Thursdays and – health and safety would have loved this – lie on the floor under your desk Wednesdays. On any given day of the week, we'd be accosted by colleagues in Mariachi costumes, deafened by squeals or constantly tripping over legs poking out from under desks.
And here I am today, all riled up about a gentle Scottish burr ten feet behind me and the risk of a bit of echo.
Unless an ambient noise-deadening, echo-removing and Scot-absorbing technology can be rolled out across the room, it's a case of in-ear noise-cancellers all round, I think. That way, no one will have to put up with those annoying, everyday office sounds.
Such as the phone ringing or the fire alarm going off... ®

'Permutations' from Studio Wormbone is an array of uniquely asymmetrical synthetic manipulations. The theme for this sound pack is exactly what the name implies - it's a highly fluid metamorphosis of abstract sound fluctuations. These samples and one shot hits are constantly shifting, evolving, and modifying in an organic semi-controlled manner. Predictability is left behind when these layers are woven into a production. They defy the notion that machine music has to be static and rigid. This is where synthesis gets transmogrified into auditory hallucinations, where molten movement governs the nature of a new sonic palette.
Importing these sounds underneath a programmed beat or sequence will give a track progressively forward momentum and push it in enlivened directions. It will also deepen the listening experience and provide richness and character to the song. Dubstep, Pop, House, IDM, Techno, D'n'B, Trance, Ambient, Cinematic, Electro, and game development would all benefit being permutated.
The 'Sample' section of this product includes fifty long evolving samples, many of which are over 30 seconds in duration and all are constantly morphing. The 'One Shot Hits' folder is comprised of eight subfolders with 25 files each for a total of 200 hits. Their categories are Aggressive, Ambient, Futuristic, Long FX, Pure Analog, Short, Tonal, and Upper Register (higher frequency) flavors. These hits would be ideal for use as electro percussion instruments in your favorite sampler, sci-fi sound effects, or stinger production elements in a multimedia context.
Audio demo 1 was done entirely with sounds from the Samples section.
Audio demo 2 is comprised of brief rhythmic compostions created entirely with sounds from the One Shot Hits folder.
Most of these sounds originate from boutique analog hardware oscillators (chosen because of their warmly inviting nonlinear idiosyncrasies) in a modular style setup. They were then animated with irregularly modulating filtration and finally treated with high end software processing. Except where compression or reverb is a critical component of the overall intended 'flavour' of a sound, these files have only been subjected to conservative amounts of this kind of processing. This allows plenty of headroom for further tweaking if desired. All of these sounds are calibrated with precision to make your next project inventive, far-sighted, and mind-blisteringly innovative.
Formats provided are WAV/AIF in 24bit/44.1khz resolution, and are of course royalty free. Every sample has been professionally recorded, edited, (tortured) and mastered with the utmost care, is usable with every major audio software program (Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Sonar, FL Studio, Acid, Garageband, Ableton Live) and is compatible cross platform with either Mac or PC.
All of these sounds maintain the glossy refinement of Studio Wormbones hyperproduction tools and techniques. All of them are calibrated with precision to make your next production inventive, far sighted, and mind-blisteringly innovative.
Studio Wormbone is a compact and efficient state-of-the-art recording and production facility located in a quiet forest setting just outside the Emerald City of Seattle Washington, USA. Owned and managed by sound designer/producer Trevor Dutton, its resources specialize in all aspects of electronic music and cutting edge audio production.

Welcome back to Filling the Gaps, our little series on films we should have seen, but didn't.
Now, you may feel that Practical Magic may not be a gap that necessarily needs to be filled, but I suspect it's more of a personal gap. No movie classic, it has nonetheless hovered in my brain as something I know I'd love (I loved all supernatural shows on the WB...even Charmed). And guess what? I did.
As if there was any chance of failure, with a cast that not only includes Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, but Dianne Wiest, Stockard Channing and Aidan Quinn. And of course a terribly homely European named Goran Visjnic.
I'll be honest, I expected a sort of "quirky romantic comedy," so I was pleasantly surprised at the dark undertones present from the start, and how quickly things veered completely off the rails. Well done, Bullman (seriously, can we have more Nicole Kidman/ Sandra Bullock movies? I'm overcome by the CHARMINGNESS of it all).
If you're on the fence about seeing this, I can only recommend this scene of total insanity (and coconuts):
The intro pretty much sums up the entire film: "La la la, I know the music's exceptionally jaunty, but really, there's quite a serious curse that killed your family," said Mother Goose-witch. "There may be no males, but you can have all the sweets you want! Da ha!"
There can never be anything more delightful than Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest trading barbs in strange Southern accents, like a cantankerous old married couple that can cut you down with a yeehaw spell. They spark wonderful conversations like this:
"Oh good, we can take them to the summer solstice!"
"Fine, but I don't want them dancing naked under the full moon."
"As you remember, nudity is completely optional!"
There was this great period in the mid-90s where children weren't always portrayed as cloying, but actually a bit intelligent, and sort of interesting in their own right. I miss those days. I also miss the days when said children morph into insanely hot Sandra Bullocks.
The movie's not perfect, by any means. But I forgive everything for this piece of dialogue:
"She just keeps going through all these guys!"
"One day, a guy will go straight through her."
[Cue Nicole Kidman's character, weeping into her ovaries.]
Practical Magic reminds me that another thing the 90s had was Faith Hill, teaching pop-country fans everywhere about centripetal motion and perpetual bliss. Which explains why the movie sometimes feels like an extended remake of one Amy Grant video you may recall:
In more serious news, Nicole Kidman's a remorseless psychopath, which is kind of a nice twist for this sort of movie to take. I sincerely love how Sandra Bullock plays the bookish, uptight sister, while Nicole Kidman plays the wild one. We forget today, but Kidman once made quite a career as a firecracker before she became a "serious actress."
Favorite thing in the entire movie: Bath salts that transmit Joni Mitchell through the air! Ok, I wouldn't turn that down. Nicole Kidman, why don't you know the lyrics to your magical crystals?
Overall Verdict: Some kind of plot happens, but really, who cares? It's a fun romp that takes some unexpected twists, and Sandra Bullock is utterly charming. It's a shame she hasn't made more movies over the years. But I guess she's ruling the film world in her own way, which is pretty awesome too. Also, it passes the Bechdel test, again and again. If only more movies would realize that female relationships don't revolve entirely around men...

fusion protein(redirected from Fusion proteins, gag-pol)
fu·sion pro·tein(fyū'zhŭn prō'tēn)
Biotechnologic product targeting malignant cells and some normal lymphocytes containing interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptors; used for treatment of patients with advanced and recurrent cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
fusion protein
A protein made from the natural or artificial hybridization and translation of two distinct genes.
See also: protein
fusion proteina hybrid recombinant PROTEIN that contains AMINO ACIDS coded for by the VECTOR DNA attached to the cloned GENE product.
any large organic compound made from one or more polypeptides, which are chains of amino acids joined in a genetically determined order by peptide linkages between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the next. They contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen and usually sulfur, occasionally phosphorus.
Proteins form a large and essential part of the body mass, comprising especially cell membranes, connective tissue, muscles, enzymes, hormones, blood proteins. To maintain this mass the diet must contain a high proportion of protein, especially in growing animals and those recovering from debilitating diseases.
protein A
a surface protein of Staphylococus aureus which binds to the Fc region of some IgG molecules. Fluorochrome-labeled protein A is used in an indirect immunofluorescence test for detecting bound immunoglobulins.
authentic protein
a recombinant protein with all its naturally occurring properties.
available protein
the portion of dietary protein that can be used by the animal.
protein binding
a property of many drugs which limits their distribution and availability in the blood, as well as affecting elimination from the body.
protein bumps
see bumps.
protein C
a circulating vitamin K-dependent protein with anticoagulant effects. Promotes fibrinolysis.
calories derived from proteins in the diet.
protein calorie malnutrition
inadequate protein in the diet leads to impaired cell-mediated immunity, delayed wound healing and loss of lean body mass.
protein-calorie ratio
the number of calories provided from protein sources, compared with the total caloric intake; an indication of the level of protein intake.
carrier protein
one which, when coupled to a hapten, renders it capable of eliciting an immune response.
complete protein
one containing the essential amino acids in the proportion required in the diet.
protein concentrates
feeds containing a high concentration of protein, e.g. legume grains and forages, meat meal, fish meal, oil cakes, milling residues including bran, shorts, middlings, brewer's grains.
conjugated p's
those in which the protein molecule is united with nonprotein molecules or prosthetic groups, e.g. glycoproteins, lipoproteins and metalloproteins.
protein-creatinine ratio
in urine is valuable in correcting for variation in urine contents due to variable dilutions.
crude protein
the total nitrogen content of a feed multiplied by 6.25. Includes several obvious errors but is still a close approximation of the protein content.
dietary protein
is usually the most expensive part of the diet, except for animals at pasture, and the constituent most likely to be deficient. An excess of protein in the diet in ruminants can cause a sharp rise in alkalinity, due to the release of ammonia, of the ruminal contents causing ruminal atony and indigestion.
digestible protein
the crude protein ingested less the protein excreted in the feces. The estimation requires a digestibility trial involving animals.
protein equivalent
said of a feed. The total nitrogen content expressed as protein if it were all in that form. That is the percentage nitrogen in the feed multiplied by the average percentage of nitrogen in plant protein (6.25%).
protein excretion t
one that uses 51Cr-labeled protein which measures protein excretion in the feces in cases of protein-losing enteropathy.
protein-fibrinogen ratio
see plasma protein:fibrinogen ratio.
fibrous p's
characterized by shape, structure and low water solubility; they have a structural role. Examples are collagen, keratin and tropomyosin.
fusion protein
in recombinant DNA technology when a foreign gene is inserted into a plasmid vector to interrupt a gene, such as lacZ, the mRNA transcript of the recombinant plasmid contains the lacZ Shine-Dalgarno sequence and codons for the 3′ end of the lacZ gene protein followed by the codons of the foreign gene; the protein expressed is a fusion protein containing a few N-terminal lacZ amino acids and the contiguous foreign protein.
protein hydrolysates
pharmaceutical preparations used in the treatment of severe, acute protein loss. Available for use orally or parenterally. They are partly digested proteins and contain a mixture of polypeptides, amino acids and other breakdown products.
protein microarray
an ordered set of small samples of proteins immobilized on a microscope slide or other solid surface that is used to determine protein-protein interactions.
myeloma protein
see multiple myeloma.
protein nutritional deficiency
causes lack of muscle development, and slow growth rate and maturation. In adults there is a low milk production and poor weight gain. In severe states tissue and blood levels fall, hypoproteinemic edema may occur, and a degree of immunosuppression could be expected.
partial protein
one having a ratio of essential amino acids different from that of the average body protein.
peripheral protein
any protein located in the membrane but not essential to the reconstitution of that protein.
plasma p's
all the proteins present in the blood plasma, including the immunoglobulins. See plasma protein.
polyhedrin matrix protein
a protein that comprises the major component of occlusion bodies produced by nuclear polyhedrosis virus and cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus; the strong polyhedrin promoter is utilized in the expression of recombinant proteins in baculovirus expression systems.
rec A protein
an enzyme that binds to DNA and plays an important role in genetic recombination.
protein S
a circulating vitamin K-dependent protein with anticoagulant effects.
serum protein
proteins in the blood serum, including immunoglobulins, albumin, complement, coagulation factors and enzymes.
protein shock
anaphylaxis occurring after the intravenous injection of protein.
in times of energy deficiency the animal body may raid protein stores for glucogenic amino acids, thus depleting body stores of proteins. Substances such as acetic acid which can fill the energy deficiency and avoid the protein loss are known as protein-sparing.
protein supplements
feeds which contain more than 20% protein.
urine protein
see proteinuria.
viral protein
proteins encoded by the viral genome.

Anatoki Salmon - Feel the Thrill
Feel the thrill of catching a salmon at the Anatoki Salmon Farm and find out what they have to offer.
1 / 5
If you're hooked on Omega 3's like me, you might want to give the Anatoki Salmon Farm a visit when you're next in Golden Bay.
They are located just 7km from Takaka township in the stunning Anatoki Valley, adjoining the Anatoki River, looking out across beautiful New Zealand bush.
This tranquil spot is the perfect location to bring your friends, family or on your own for a spot of fishing with guaranteed success. You don't necessarily need fishing experience, entry is free and all the gear is provided for you free of charge.
Simply pay per weight for what you catch, $19.00 per kilo.
You will pick up your fishing rods and tackle from the café (after some instructions if needed) with a net and a bin to put your catch into, and head down to "Lake Anatoki", the fishing pond.
You can spend as long as you like down here catching your fish and enjoying the atmosphere.
Your fish will then be cleaned and prepared in front of you, into fillets or steaks free of charge, or have it hot smoked on site for an extra $10.00 with a range of delicious seasonings.
You can eat there as part of a picnic – there are plenty of spots for picnicking, or have it prepared to take home. It can even be vacuum packed for enjoying up to 30 days later!
Or have it made into sashimi for just $5.00 per fish. They can also give you recipe ideas for if you're taking your fresh fish home to cook yourself.
Just a heads-up – if you're in a group of 10 people or more and are eating your fish on site, you will have it hot smoked for free.
You don't necessarily have to fish for yourself, of course. You can enjoy a glass (or a bottle) of high quality wine, sip a coffee or soft drink and select from their fully-licensed café menu – salmon-related of course.
And if you're not here in Golden Bay and still want to sample their delicious salmon, you can contact them and make an order – with all salmon harvested and dispatched the same day.
Anatoki Salmon also aims to be environmentally sustainable in managing their resources – something you may have an interest in.
"We do this through such initiatives as:
Preserving water quality downstream of our fish farm property (maintaining these levels well within our resource consent limits)
Ensuring our land and fish welfare practices are more natural management solutions, with minimal chemical treatments
Reducing our use of non-reusable products and targeting a challenging minimum level of waste taken to landfill
Supporting many community acts of charity in order to be socially responsible"
So, if your stomach is grumbling and you're in the Bay with some time to spare, head to the Anatoki Salmon Farm for lunch, or the whole day.
Open 9am – 4.30pm daily, no reservations required.
From Boxing day till the end of January open till 6pm

When an environmental scientist is posted to a long abandoned whaling station in the wilds of Antarctica, she discovers more than just penguins, seals and a frozen landscape.
Hidden deep under the ice and snow are shocking secrets which Laura Alvarado is determined to dig out… wherever in the world that may lead her and however dangerous her mission.
Out of the Ice is the second powerful psychological drama from award-winning Aussie screenwriter and director Ann Turner whose debut novel The Lost Swimmer was published to wide acclaim last year.
This new adventure is a true thriller chiller; a tense, menacing mystery which explores the troubled history of whaling, the darker side of human nature, and stars a haunted heroine escaping personal tragedy and yearning for the sense of belonging that anchors human lives but which has so far proved elusive.
With two failed marriages and a tragic loss in her past, environmental scientist Laura Alvarado throws all her energies into her work in Antarctica. It is 'the one underpinning strength' of her life, the place that pulls her back from 'the darkness', but at the age of 39 she still longs for 'a mate for life' and a family of her own.
When Laura is sent to a remote Antarctic island to file an Environmental Impact Assessment report on Fredelighavn, an abandoned Norwegian whaling station in Placid Bay, she begins to uncover more than just colonies of the renowned Adélie penguins.
Reminders of the bloody, violent past are everywhere in this eerie, forgotten town, and Laura is disturbed to find evidence of recent human interference around her. Rules have been broken and some of the protected wildlife is behaving strangely.
On a diving expedition, Laura emerges into an ice cave where she is shocked to see an anguished figure, crying for help through an ice wall. But in this freezing, lonely landscape there are ghosts everywhere, and Laura wonders if her own eyes can be trusted. Has she been in the ice too long, is her mind starting to play tricks on her?
Back at the base, Laura's questions about the whaling station go unanswered, blocked by scientists who are unused to outsiders and suspicious of her meddling. But Laura just can't shake off what happened in the cave.
Piecing together a past and present of cruelty and vulnerability that can be traced around the world, from Norway to Nantucket, Europe and Antarctica, Laura will stop at nothing to unearth the truth. And as she comes face to face with the dark side of human progress, she also discovers an unexpected legacy that could transform her own lonely life…
Turner's career in the film industry has given her a heightened sense of visual drama and this suspense-packed, fast-moving thriller delivers a rollercoaster ride through despair, discovery and death from one of the harshest and most uncompromising corners of our planet to the warmer climes of Italy's Eternal City.
These are places brought stunningly alive by Turner's taut and yet surprisingly lyrical storytelling as we follow the dedicated, determined but achingly vulnerable Laura on a mission into the heart of evil, and on a journey of self-discovery through love, grief and hope.
With its immaculately researched storyline and compelling blend of science, intrigue, romance and real history, Out of the Ice is the perfect companion for the dark autumn nights.

But dist+ and tonestack values are rather sensible and some of them were read from the pictures.

On Sunday, Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reported that the Cowboys would not be changing coaches after the end of the season.
After Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Saints, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that he had not heard Glazer's report concerning Jason Garrett's future with the organization but wound up confirming up all the same. Jones said he's "real pleased" with the job Garrett has done this season and explained that there's no change on the horizon.
"I didn't hear that and have not even thought about anything different than Jason being our coach. That's the only response that I have to it," Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. "Seriously, and I'll be real serious about it, I have no thoughts about making a coaching change."
A terrible loss to the Redskins next week could give birth to some thoughts, but it's gotten harder to see the Cowboys making such a major change after the way they've played since falling to 3-5 this season. The team certainly didn't quit on Garrett and a win next week still makes them the division winners, something that didn't seem possible at midseason.
That reflects well on Garrett and explains why no one seems to be thinking about a change in Dallas this offseason.

Britain's largest police force is using software that can map nearly every move suspects and their associates make in the digital world, prompting an outcry from civil liberties groups.
The Metropolitan police has bought Geotime, a security programme used by the US military, which shows an individual's movements and communications with other people on a three-dimensional graphic. It can be used to collate information gathered from social networking sites, satellite navigation equipment, mobile phones, financial transactions and IP network logs.
Police have confirmed its purchase and declined to rule out its use in investigating public order disturbances.
Campaigners and lawyers have expressed concern at how the software could be used to monitor innocent parties such as protesters in breach of data protection legislation.
Alex Hanff, the campaigns manager at Privacy International, called on the police to explain who will decide how this software will be used in future.
"Once millions and millions of pieces of microdata are aggregated, you end up with this very high-resolution picture of somebody, and this is effectively what they are doing here.
"We shouldn't be tracked and traced and have pictures built by our own government and police for the benefit of commercial gain," he said.
Sarah McSherry, a partner at Christian Khan Solicitors, which represents several protesters in cases against the Metropolitan police, said: "We have already seen the utilisation of a number of tactics which infringe the right to peaceful protest, privacy and freedom of expression, assembly and movement. All of these have a chilling effect on participation in peaceful protest. This latest tool could also be used in a wholly invasive way and could fly in the face of the role of the police to facilitate rather than impede the activities of democratic protesters."
Hugh Tomlinson QC, a specialist in privacy, said a public body such as the police must be able to justify the lawfulness of how it uses the information it collects and retains.
"Storing data because it's potentially interesting or potentially useful is not good enough. There has got to be some specific justification," he said.
According to Geotime's website, the programme displays data from a variety of sources, allowing the user to navigate the data with a timeline and animated display. The website claims it can also throw up previously unseen connections between individuals.
"Links between entities can represent communications, relationships, transactions, message logs, etc and are visualised over time to reveal temporal patterns and behaviours," it reads.
The software was displayed in Britain earlier this month at the defence industry Counter Terror exhibition in Olympia, west London. Curtis Garton, product management director for Oculus, the company that markets the programme, said the Metropolitan police was the only UK police force to have purchased the software. "[There are] a few countries that we don't sell to, but in terms of commercial sales pretty much anybody can buy," he said.
The issue of data retention and how it is used has become a major political and judicial issue. The European justice commissioner, Viviane Reding, said in March that data protection rules also applied to data retention. "Individuals must be informed about which data is collected and for what purposes," she said. "To be effective, data protection rights need to actually be enforced."
The Guardian disclosed last week that an 86-year-old man had been granted permission to take legal action against police chiefs who kept a detailed record of his political activities on a clandestine database.
John Catt, who has no criminal record, is bringing the high court action against a secretive police unit that systematically logged his presence at more than 55 peace and human rights protests over a four-year period.
Some academics have praised the software as a positive move for the police in their fight against terrorist groups and organised crime.
Professor Anthony Glees, director of the University of Buckingham's Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies, said he was aware of tracking software such as Geotime, the use of which he described as "absolutely right".
"There are these dangerous people out there and we need to stay ahead of the game in order to deal with the threat that they pose," he said. "My feeling is: if it can be done, and if its purpose is the protection of the ordinary citizen that wants to go about their lawful business ... then it's absolutely fine."
A spokesman for the Met confirmed that Geotime had been paid for, and said several possible uses for it were being assessed, including as a tool in "telephone investigations".
He declined to clarify what a telephone investigation might be or how much the software cost. Neither could he comment on whether the software might be used during investigations into public order offences in the future.
"We are in the process of evaluating the Geotime software to explore how it could possibly be used to assist us in understanding patterns in data relating to both space and time. A decision has yet to be made as to whether we will adopt the technology [permanently]. We have used dummy data to look at how the software works and have explored how we could use it to examine police vehicle movements, crime patterns and telephone investigations," he wrote in an email.
Alongside the Met, the Ministry of Defence is also examining Geotime. A spokesman said: "The MoD is assessing Geotime as part of its research programme but it is not currently being used on operations."

Story highlights
- "This is an incredibly difficult time for April's family," prosecutor says
- Mark Bridger is charged with murder, child abduction
- Police continue to search for the missing 5-year-old
- April Jones was abducted from a street near her home on Monday
A man was charged Saturday in Wales with the murder and abduction of a 5-year-old girl, April Jones, who has been missing since Monday.
Mark Bridger has also been charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice, prosecutor Iwan Jenkins said.
Meanwhile, the police search for April continues in and around the town of Machynlleth, in a remote corner of rural mid-Wales.
Bridger, 46, was arrested on suspicion of murder Friday. He had been in police custody since being arrested on suspicion of abduction Tuesday.
He will appear before magistrates in Aberystwyth on Monday morning, Jenkins said.
"I realize that this is an incredibly difficult time for April's family, friends and the community," he added.
Superintendent Ian John, of Dyfed-Powys Police, said that the force remained "totally focused and committed" to finding April.
Specialist police search teams have been scouring building in and around Machynlleth, as well as the surrounding mountainous and wooded countryside and a nearby flooded river.
Hundreds of local volunteers who had been helping police in the hunt were asked to leave the search to the professionals as it became apparent that it was now a murder inquiry.
April's mother made an emotional appeal earlier this week for information leading to her daughter.
She was taken from a street near her home as she played on her bicycle with a friend.
Chief Constable Jackie Roberts said the investigation had been "one of the most complex and fast moving" in the history of the police force.
She also paid tribute to the efforts of local residents who had rallied round to try to help the little girl.
Prime Minister David Cameron earlier this week said the abduction was "every parent's nightmare."

Telepresence Accelerates Product Development for Customers of All Sizes and Across Industries
In my last post I talked about how telepresence is moving beyond the boardroom and being used in unique ways to add value, impact business process, and extend well beyond the basic function of travel cost savings to deliver better and more innovative results. Cisco TelePresence is giving customers of all sizes and across all industries a competitive edge by improving the quality of products, speeding up review cycles and accelerating time-to-market.
A great example of this in the mid-market is Coraid, a storage technology provider based in Redwood City, California. Coraid is using multiple Cisco collaboration solutions, including the Cisco TelePresence EX Series and Quick Set C20 endpoints, Cisco Jabber along with Cisco WebEx Telepresence to foster communications between its headquarters in Silicon Valley and product development office in Georgia. In a field where moving quickly to stay ahead of the competition is crucial, telepresence enables Coraid to go-to-market faster with new offerings and to continue to pave the way as innovators. This has given them the ability to also move up-market and engage with larger, Fortune 500 companies to grow their business. See the impact Cisco has had in their organization in this recent video.
At the other end of the spectrum, General Electric (GE) is using Cisco TelePresence to bring employees together globally for real-time collaboration across functions. Telepresence has enabled them to connect engineering teams inside of the U.S. with their counterparts globally to brainstorm new ideas, show parts and pieces of equipment, and ultimately accelerate their development cycles to bring products to market faster. This gives them a huge edge over their competition and, of course, helps them keep their costs down too. In addition, GE is using Cisco TelePresence to educate employees by bringing in executives and experts from around the globe.
Use cases for telepresence are far and wide as is the business value it brings to organizations of any industry and size. Do you have a use case you would like to share? We'd love to hear your stories.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

MEET PETE, the Secretary of Transportation
I'm honored to serve the people of Maryland under Governor Larry Hogan as the State's 14th Transportation Secretary. I understand that transportation impacts everyone, every day. This job is a big responsibility but also a big opportunity. Providing a balanced, reliable, safe, efficient and affordable transportation system is essential to all of Maryland's citizens and businesses. As Transportation Secretary, I'm charged with managing a $5.1 billion annual budget (FY 2018) and leading more than 10,000 employees. Our six-year draft transportation budget, known as the Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP), reflects the planned investments of $14.7 billion from FY 2018 to FY 2023 across the State in transit, highways, the Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore and the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Above and beyond this $14.7 billion investment, the Maryland Transportation Authority, an independent financial authority, provides $2.6 billion for toll facilities throughout the State.
I want to assure Maryland taxpayers that we have assembled the best team possible and are committed to getting the most of every dollar we spend. MDOT will deliver projects BETTER, FASTER, and CHEAPER. Having led transportation agencies in both New Mexico and Missouri for a total of 14 years, I have learned to: value relationships, challenge team members to excel, forge strong partnerships and undertake bold plans to better meet the needs of our customers. Innovation, teamwork, accountability and enhanced communication are critical to implementing a successful program that will create jobs and enhance economic opportunities as we CHANGE MARYLAND FOR THE BETTER. We will better serve all of our customers as ONE MDOT working hand-in-hand to deliver the best transportation network possible for Maryland.
In addition to my efforts at the state level, I remain active at the national level. As a board member of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), I have served as: President, Chairman of the Standing Committee on Performance Management, and Chairman of the Standing Committee on Highway Traffic Safety. I also have served on the Executive Committee of the Transportation Research Board, a non-profit organization serving the public and private transportation industry by promoting innovation and progress in transportation through research.
I take pride in the work of the MDOT team to advance innovative construction projects and to find practical and efficient transportation solutions.

Narrowing down the best beauty releases of the year can be a daunting task. But when it comes down to choosing the best of the best, all we really had to do was look in our makeup bags and on our bathroom counters. From there, it was pretty clear what products we can't live without and will happily carry into the New Year. Without further ado, we present to you the Product Girl Top 11 of 2011.
While this list is officially in no particularly order, NARS Velvet Gloss Pencil is definitely our favorite lip product of the year. We can't get enough of these. Frivolous and New Lover are my top two, but the deep raspberry of Baroque is a close third.We absolutely love how these look and feel on the lips – the subtle gloss, burst of color and moisturizing properties make them a major winner.
We purchased countless tubes of Burts's Bees Tinted Lip Balms this year. For ourselves and for others. The Rose is the perfect tint of sheer red, and Honeysuckle is a lovely peachy nude. The formula is 100% natural and the price, at $7, is just right. These are a standout drugstore buy of 2011.
We continue to be mesmerized by this seafoam green tub of youth! Kiehl's Rosa Arctica is such an interesting moisturizier. It's thick in texture, very balm-like, but doesn't feel like it on the skin, and seems to instantly make our skin look brighter and healthier. Plus, we love the way Rosa Arctica looks on our bathroom counter!
Thank you, Dr. Dennis Gross, for reviving our pale skin and helping me fight my Vitamin D deficiency with the Alpha Beta Glow Pads. Since these launched in February, they've been a constant in my beauty routine. I don't let actual sun rays get near my face, so these were a godsend. Unlike self-tanner, these are skin care. They give you a legit bronze and unleash anti-aging + exfoliating properties into your skin.
Perhaps the most difficult category for us to choose the "best of" was nail polish. But, Chanel Black Pearl managed to take home the honors. This gunmetal green is like an edgy accessory that goes with everything. It looked good no matter the season, and on fingers or toes.
Benefit Cha Cha Tint was worth waiting until 2011 for. It is a delicious mango-colored stain that looks intimidating in the bottle but is like magic on the skin. If you think you can't wear coral, Cha Cha Tint can prove you wrong. Plus, it's a stain so it lasts forever.
Another cheek product that dominated our makeup bags the majority of 2011 was Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush. We can't pick just one favorite, so consider ALL of them the best of 2011. (Although, we might be partial to Amused and Tipsy!) They are the longest wearing powder blush you'll ever use and the color stays vibrant all day. And the colors are phenomenal and importantly, flattering on the skin.
2011 will go down as the year the U.S. got a taste of the BB Cream. And we couldn't be more smitten with Boscia's B.B. Cream SPF 27 PA++, a skin perfecting "blemish balm" that is like a super-powered tinted moisturizer. It manages to blur out imperfections and moisturize our skin. In the summer, we could get away with using this for coverage, moisture and SPF!
A serum that actually helps repair and heal damaged hair and split ends? Yes, it exists. The exotic oils and silk peptides in Phyto Phytokératine Serum helps strengthen strands and restore moisture to dry hair (and is silicone-free). I truly believe that by slathering the ends of my hair in this, I can go a lot longer without a trim.
The central weapon in our fight against aging is sunscreen. It may not be the most exciting part of our beauty routine, but it's very necessary. Skinceuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense is the best facial SPF we've ever used. We like that it contains only physical blockers and a special extract that increases skin defenses and resistance to UV and heat stress. But the best part? It feels weightless on the skin.
Each month, we looked forward to the arrival of the pink Birchbox! What a treat – which is why this beauty delivery service deserves a spot in our best of 2011 list. We've been introduced to some great brands, like Sunday Riley and Oribe, and fabulous products, like Orofluido Elixir and Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensee.
What beauty items topped your list this year? Let us know what you loved!

Guess Nokia isn't done with their Windows Phone 8 system apps refresh—those custom bits of software meant to directly affect Nokia hardware. Last night we saw Nokia update Maps, Audio (now with link), Cinemagraph and Music and today Display + Touch is getting some new features as well.
Display + Touch controls the Super Sensitive display, allowing users to toggle the ability on or off. But the new update gives two new features that quite useful as well.
Edit: We can now confirm that these new features are only enabled via the Portico/firmware update being pushed by Nokia and won't come via the Store
The new additions to Display + Touch include the following:
- Sunlight Readability – Toggle on/off
- Brightness with Battery Saver – Toggle on/off
The first one gives users the ability to disengage the "super bright" function on the Lumia 920. Nokia added the ability for the Lumia 920's screen to ramp up the power when in direct sunlight to make the display more visible—in short, it gets super-charged with energy like a turbo boost.
While an astounding feature (seriously, the screen goes nuclear bright), you may want to disable it to save battery or just as a preference choice, which you can now do with this update.
The second new option is the ability to dim the screen automatically when in Battery Saver mode. Battery Saver mode is already an OS level option that will toggle off your Push notification services and Live Tiles when the battery hits 25%. It's a nice to make sure your phone doesn't die getting your latest Twitter feeds.
Reportedly with this new Nokia-specific option, it will also dial down your display a bit, which should go a long way in making the phone even more battery efficient in low power situations. The display on any device is the #1 drain on battery, so taking it down a notch automatically is a good idea.
The update for Display + Touch is not live yet on our end but reader Jeremiah A. managed to get his, sending us this screenshot.
You can try and manually check for the update using the link to the Store here or scanning the QR code below.
The features are only available after you do the Portico/firmware update, not via the Store. That means only AT&T and Rogers users will see these changes.

Clear Motion Rate 1200
A Clear Motion Rate of 1200 is the ultimate level of motion-clarity for Samsung LED TVs. LED TVs with this CMR can display action-packed movement with superior sharpness, clarity and contrast. Clear Motion Rate was developed to accurately measure how well an LCD or LED TV can depict fast-moving images. Previously, motion-clarity was calculated by the frame refresh rate alone. But CMR offers a more complete measure by calculating 3 factors: frame refresh rate, image processor speed and backlight technology
Micro Dimming Ultimate
Experience incredible picture contrast, color and detail with Micro Dimming Ultimate. By maximizing the contrast between lights and darks, Samsung's Micro Dimming technology displays a picture that is as true-to-life as possible. Our innovative technology scans zones across the image and adjusts brightness to deliver deeper dark tones and brighter whites. It also eliminates the "halo" effect and image distortion that can happen with diffused lights. The Ultimate version of this technology optimizes the quality to new heights by scanning 2x the number of zones in the image. The result is a crystal-clear picture with realistic, vivid detail and accurate color reproduction.
Samsung Active 3D
Enjoy stunning Full HD 1080p in both 2D and 3D modes. With Samsung's 3D converter, turn 2D viewing into 3D for an amazing cinematic experience.

In the hammer throw, junior Robert Yarbough (Fall River, MA/Durfee HS) finished with a toss of 153 feet.

"Eric had to come out of the unseeded heat in the 800, and I was pleased with how strong and aggressively he ran," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "Megan has improved dramatically throughout the year, and she has had a phenomenal outdoor season."
The Corsairs will return to action at the Open New England Championships next weekend. . UMASS DARTMOUTH TRACK AND FIELD

Tucked in the Oldham County Schools Arts Center is a valuable resource for county residents: the Adult Education Center.
The center served over 500 people last year through its adult and community education programs, and director Suzette Ertel hopes those numbers continue to grow.
Officials from Oldham County Schools will host parent forums later this month to discuss educational changes that come with Kentucky's Senate Bill 1.
The forums will cover what parents need to know regarding new language arts and math curriculum standards and the state assessment system.
Forums are scheduled:

On July 27, the Oldham County Public School System was sent a monitoring letter from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights in response to reports submitted by the school district and General Counsel Anne Coorssen.
Officials from Oldham County Schools are awaiting an attorney general's opinion on the constitutionality of paying storm water management fees from school funds.

The University of Louisville has named Blake Haselton as interim dean of the College of Education and Human Development, effective immediately and continuing through 2014.
Haselton has served as the college's interim dean since 2008 while the university conducted a search to fill the post.
The annual Pewee Valley Cemetery Cleanup project began when a student from Covenant Classical Academy noticed two things while walking along Maple Avenue: the Confederate Cemetery across the street was immaculate, but the other cemetery, known as "the Black cemetery" was grossly neglected.
Imagine taking a call from the school to find out your child has been caught with drugs on school premises. It happens more often than you think…and no family is exempt from the possibility.
Come hear from two people who deal with this daily in our schools.
Don't be surprised if you see students popping out of bushes around Oldham County and spraying each other with water guns.
