In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, the Land of Black Ice is an arctic wasteland located in the northwestern Flanaess, north of the Burneal Forest and Blackmoor, east of the Drawmidj Ocean, and west of the Icy Sea. The land gets its name from the vast sheet of blue-black ice that covers it as far as the eye can see.
The only humans living near the area are the Baklunish Guryik folk on the Drawmidj coast, and the Suloise Zeai, or Sea Barbarians, who dwell on a section of Icy Sea coastline known as the Tusking Strand. Within the Land of Black Ice proper are said to dwell all manner of horrid arctic monsters, so few humans enter the region. Tales are told of wights, frost men, evil spirits, black-skinned trolls, and blue-furred bugbears inhabiting the wasteland.
The fabled City of the Gods is said to lie just outside the Land of Black Ice, near Blackmoor. Those few who have entered the city and escaped alive, among them Mordenkainen and Sir Robilar, tell tales of an artificially warm city of tall iron buildings, powerful magic, and strange automatons.
Legends tell of another region beyond the ice, a land of lush jungles and an unmoving sun. Such legends give some reason to believe that the Oerth is hollow, containing another world within the inside of the globe, to which entry is gained via great openings in the poles.

Not depressed enough this week?
How about watching a video of 10 year old Noie or Noah whatever Cyrus, JailBait v 2.0, miming Ke$ha'sTik Tok ... and somehow this found its way onto YouTube. Don't bother asking what the f-ck her folks are up to.
It's not as offensive, I guess, as the time she worked a pole, or dressed like a working girl for Halloween, and I'm sure she's not the only 10 year old to lipsynch to pop music. That's not what's uncomfortable about this video. What's uncomfortable about this video is The Want.
She wants it so hard.
Check the way she has mastered the upclose to the camera technique, how intoxicated she is by the camera, the expression on her face when the beat slows down and she's staring down the screen.
It's BEYOND precocious. It's something else entirely. It's living through being watched. And still these people continue to support this family.
PS. I can't figure out her name. Is it Noah or Noie? I bet you it's Noie.

Designer Tom Ford won't be dressing first lady-elect Melania Trump anytime soon.
The haute couture God and film director went on gab-lovers' daytime TV show 'The View' to talk about his new movie Nocturnal Animals where he admitted that he'd rather not see Melania in his clothes because they were too expensive.
"I was asked to dress her quite a few years ago and I declined … She's not necessarily my image," said Ford adding, "Also the first lady, other than the fact that I'm a Democrat and voted for Hillary and very sad and disappointed that she's not in office but other than that, even had Hillary won, she shouldn't be wearing my clothes. They're too expensive. And I don't mean this in a bad way, they're not artificially expensive, it's how much it cost to make these things. But I think to relate to everybody."
Joy Behart was quick to quiz him about Michelle Obama, who wore expensive clothes during her time at the White House to which Ford responded: "Michelle I dressed once when she was going to Buckingham Palace for dinner with the Queen, and I thought it was appropriate. I live in London, so that made sense. And it was an honour to dress her."

I start my day reading newspapers, and I especially enjoy the obituaries. Today's New York Times includes an obituary for Jerry Finkelstein, publisher of the New York Law Journal, and the obit includes this observation:
In 1963, Mr. Finkelstein bought The Law Journal, the official paper of the city's legal profession, for $1 million. Its circulation was small, and it was an ocean of tiny print: legal notices, case calendars, texts of decisions. But he turned it into a leading journal, and he wielded enormous power by deciding which cases to publish, in effect determining what the bar read — a leverage not lost on judges, lawyers and politicians.

Born in New Orleans but raised in Bermuda, dancehall singer Collie Buddz was entranced by the urban music of his island home. He favored dancehall the most, but soca and hip-hop were important too, all of which exploded out the speakers of his DJ brother. His brother was also involved in recording Collie's demo track, "Come Around," an infectious song that blew up in Europe and topped the charts in the U.K. before it came to Jamaica. As the marijuana anthem was climbing the JA charts all the way up to number one, rapper Busta Rhymes cut his own, unauthorized remix, which increased the track's presence on urban American radio. Guest vocals on a remix of Beyoncé's "Ring the Alarm" began his relationship with the Sony label, while hooking up with Lil' Flip for the rapper's I Need Mine album kept spreading the Collie Buddz name on the streets. Everything was in place as his second single, "Mamacita," and his self-titled debut album were both released by Sony in the summer of 2007.

This is a guest post by Jess Levey as part of Maternity Mondays.
We are now at 38 weeks, and as Braxton Hicks contractions (or 'practice labor surges' as we say in hypnobirthing) appear as quickly as they dissipate, the reality has definitely set in, that yes, we will soon be experiencing a life changing event, probably the most altering life event that we have yet encountered and may ever encounter. And, like any great adventure there is that amazing excitement and fear of the unknown that I have learned to embrace while trying as much as possible to control what's to come, as futile an attempt that may be. We all do it- we try our hardest to control parts of our lives that we know are uncontrollable, and as much as I have prepared mentally and physically for labor, I know deep down that most of what will transpire is really out of my hands.
I can practice my hypnobirthing meditations every night, do my squats, begrudgingly do perineal massages, walk and walk and walk, insert and ingest primrose oil, eat my greens and omega 3s, talk to baby, stay positive, drink my pregnancy tea, and visualize the 'perfect' birthing experience, but in the end, something major or minor can occur and I can end up with an emergency C-section, or maybe I won't be able to breast feed, or maybe our baby will be jaundice for a few days. As much as we can try to prepare and control what is to come, I know deep down that placing too much attachment on this ideal labor is dangerous.
That said, my husband and I have been greatly enjoying nesting and preparing as much as we can. If we can't fully control the birthing experience, we may as well control what will happen when baby comes home. After my ridiculously fun baby shower a couple of weeks ago, we had to find room in our tiny one bedroom apartment for all the baby goodies- a task which has been quite an overwhelming challenge. The more stuff we get, the more anxious I seem to get. But, with subtle furniture re-arrangements I am hoping we can make it work. The most satisfying preparation we have done thus far is cooking home-made meals and freezing them so that we have yummy food to just heat up and enjoy during those sleepless first few weeks (or is it months?). So far we have made butternut squash soup, meatloaf, chili, lentil stew, sweet potato Quiche, broccoli Quiche, and currently my husband is cooking up a shepherd's pie and some kugel.
If there is one thing that Jewish people do when they are anxious, it's eat, and in our case, it is cooking that has given us this wonderful sense of control and ease, and a feeling that we will be well taken care of when we bring baby home- not just by our close family and friends, but also by ourselves. My mother keeps telling me how much help we will need when the baby arrives. I keep trying to remind her that we are only having one baby (while my sister had the great challenge of two at the same time), that it's not THAT hard, and that in case she forgot, my husband is actually a domestic maven who works from home, so there are two of us here supporting each other, doing the laundry, cooking, and cleaning together. While we are constantly in sync organizing and cooking and cleaning, I am reminded how lucky I am to be in this situation and it just boggles my mind how women have been doing this alone for so many years. Every time I go to do the dishes with my aching back, my husband looks over and says "you want me to finish that up?" And, as much as I want to continue to praise him for his 'modern ways' I also believe that this is really how it should be- we are in this together, preparing for what's to come, even if I am the only one pushing through the pain.
And, with that, I wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR full of adventurous unknowns…

An Ohio man's idea to raise a few bucks to make potato salad for the first time has netted more than $36,000.
Zack Danger Brown asked for $10 on the popular crowdfunding website Kickstarter.
"Basically, I'm just making potato salad. I haven't decided what kind yet," he wrote.
As of Tuesday morning, donations had reached $36,920.
A man claiming to be Brown on Reddit expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support to make his "dream" come true.
He plans to have a potato salad party for all his backers willing to fly to his home in Columbus.
"Potato salad seems to unite people of all backgrounds and I think that's really wonderful," Reddit user ZTBrown wrote.

The NextGen Gaming seems to run of ideas if it takes up its earlier similar Volcano themed Hot Hot Volcano slot game and present it in a new way. The Volcano Eruption has a new look and feel to it with crisp and better graphics. The 5 reels 25 payline slot game has the same gameplay, payouts and bonus features.
The Volcano Eruption symbols
The 5 reels 25 paylines of the Volcano Eruption sports a bright and vibrant look. Unlike its predecessor, it has crisp and clear graphics. The titular erupting volcano, monkeys, land lizards, parrots and oranges are part of the symbols. The card symbols from 9 through Ace appear carved out of different rocks.
The Volcano Eruption slot game is a 5 reel 25 payline game from the NextGen gaming collection. It is a visually updated version of the same earlier game, Hot Hot Volcano. The similar gameplay, features and symbols only seems to accentuate the lack of direction this slot takes to.
wilds: The Wild symbol is the Erupting Volcano symbol. As a wild symbol, it will substitute for all the symbols to create a winning combination. It appears only on the middle three reels.
strooi: The same Erupting Volcano symbol is also the scatter symbol. The scatter wins are paid when it appears in any position on the reels. It will trigger the bonus Eruption feature of the game. You need to land 3 of the Erupting Volcano symbol on the reels 2, 3, and 4 in any position of the reels. This will make the 3rd reel turn entirely into wild, while the rest of the four reels spin again for 5 times.
The spilling lava from the reels will turn the surrounding symbols also into wild symbols. Thereby increasing your winning chances for each re-spin.
There is the gamble feature that is enabled after each successful spin. Guess the card colour or the card suit correctly, and you can double or quadruple your wins respectively.
Min / maksimum weddenskap per draai (£/$/€): 0.01 to 2.0
Boerpot (£ / $ / €): 500 coins (base game)
Sluit gedagtes
A reboot of the original Hot Hot Volcano game, this updated version offers nothing new to its players. Those who are familiar with the earlier game will find the graphics crisper and better. One the whole, it's a better looking slot with the same gameplay.

First off, I was not too sure of where t oput this thread in terms of technical support etc. So if i am wrong im sorry & please move it if needed.. Now I am interested in seeing what playing nba 2k12 is like, people say that its much more enjoyable than on a game console becuase of all the modifications, patches, and other goodies you have access to while playing on a PC. Now I checked if I could "run it" on my laptop, using that website that checks your systems hardware capabilities to play a certain game. Everything checked out fine/good but basically becuase I have a stock Video card it 'failed' me because of the stock video card (Intel HD Graphics 3000), sort of discouraging me to even try to play it.
BUT, other games I have, are playing on my PC have failed this "system requirement" test before but I play them currently on great settnigs even really high settnigs fine, my video card has proven to be fine for them. Games such as World of Warcraft etc. So my question is will my laptop setup be able to handle NBA 2k12 decently, on good settings, I hope I do not have to play on low low settings thats just no fun and decreases gameplay value In my opinion.
Being confident, some of you all on here may have the same or close PC set up I have, you could possibly give me a baseline answer to if I can play this game fine on my laptop. Right now I will post all my laptops specs in hopes maybe I can play this game with good settings & enjoy it almost as much as I do on my Xbox 360.
Laptop Specs;
OS- Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
CPU- INTEL Core i5-2430M 2.4 Ghz
Graphics- Intel HD Graphics 3000
Screen- 17.3"
Memory- 4GB DDR3

For Pets Best Insurance
Idiopathic vestibular disease is a pet health condition that can initially be terrifying to any pet owner. Imagine one day your older dog is fine, then the next she is falling down to one side, sometimes even rolling because she can't keep her balance and her eyes are jerking back and forth.
Owners often fear the worst, thinking that their pet can't possibly recover from such a horrible disease. We often think of it like a 'stroke', which can cause one sided symptoms in people, but the disease is actually very different, and when appropriately diagnosed, generally has a much better outcome. And if you have Pet insurance through a company like Pets Best Insurance, you can rest easy knowing 80% of the vet bill will be reimbursed to you.
The vestibular apparatus controls our sense of balance. It allows us to orient our bodies in relation to our world. If the floor were tilted, you could lean to compensate for this and still maintain your balance. There is a left and a right side which each gathers information from our world to transmits this to the brain. If all of a sudden one side isn't working anymore, this one sided information wreaks havoc on the brain, which thinks its world is spinning or lopsided. The patient will tilt their head, jerk their eyes or fall to one side, thinking their world is off balance.
Part of the vestibular system is located in the middle ear, and the vestibular nerve exits from a specific location on the brainstem. The three most common reasons for vestibular disease include an ear infection, a brain lesion and idiopathic, meaning nobody knows exactly why it occurred. Clinical signs of vestibular disease include ataxia, or incoordination, head tilting or turning to one side, and nystagmus, or jerky eye movements. Patients will often feel intense dizziness or even vertigo, which can lead to motion sickness and nausea, thus many animals will vomit as well.
Vestibular disease is often mistakenly referred to as a 'stroke.' A stroke is a vascular accident that cuts off blood flow to a certain portion of the brain. While this is a rare cause of vestibular disease, generally this isn't a true stroke, as there has been no vascular accident in most cases.
A central brain lesion causing vestibular disease can be a very serious, and often pets won't recover well from this. Advanced imagining, such as MRI or CT scan is often needed to diagnose exactly where the brain has been affected, how serious it is, and whether it can be treated. Although these diagnostic tools can be expensive, many pet insurance companies will cover them. Ear infection causing vestibular disease has a much more favorable prognosis, treating the ear infection generally leads to recovery. Idiopathic vestibular disease, or "old dog vestibular disease" is the most common vestibular disease seen in cats and dogs. Interestingly, cats in the northeast united states are most likely to get this disease in the late summer and early fall.
It is important to immediately take your pet to the veterinarian if he or she is having symptoms of this disease so that it can be determined if there is central lesion, or an ear infection. Since this disease affects almost exclusively older pets, it is a good idea to have screening blood work performed to ensure there are no other underlying diseases. Once idiopathic disease is confirmed, treatment generally involves controlling nausea and letting the disease take its course. Usually there is noticeable improvement in balance within 72 hours. Most pets are nearly normal within weeks.
There will be intensive nursing care in the beginning, as your pet will have trouble going outside to potty and getting to the food dish. It is important to protect them from stairs or slippery surfaces where the pet could potentially harm themselves. It is also equally important to challenge them too! They have to re-learn to use their bodies. Provide sure footing, like carpet or grass and encourage them to try to get around. After recovery, most pets can return to their normal lifestyles.
While this disease is frightening and terrifying in the beginning, your veterinarian can help assure you that idiopathic vestibular disease carries a great prognosis. It's one of the few diseases where you really can relax and know that things will improve and your pet will get better.

Dinner Tonight: Chile-Rubbed London Broil Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Steak can be the perfect last-minute dinner. A good cut can be seared and served in minutes, but it can also be expensive. Usually the quicker and easier it is to prepare, the more expensive the cut tends to be. And it doesn't always have the most flavor.
I pulled this from the Chef on a Shoestring, and London broil certainly is an apt addition to the pantheon of cheap cuts. The pound-and-a-half cut I picked up was right around $5.
I can safely say I've never loaded a steak with this much seasoning. It felt wrong. It looked wrong. I'm not sure if you could even tell that there was meat underneath. I was dangerously close to rubbing all the seasoning off. Thankfully, I let all those spices sear on the hot skillet and imbue the meat with a wonderful chile aroma. Even though I marinated this tough cut for about as long as it took to preheat the oven, I ended up with a highly flavorful, tender dinner.
Chile-Rubbed London Broil Adapted from Chef on a Shoestring.
- Rated:
- 1 London broil (roughly 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1 bottle of dark beer
- 1/3 cup chile powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the steak in a bowl. Pour in the beer; let marinate for as long as you have time. I had 30 minutes. When done, pat steak dry.
Combine the chile powder, dried basil, black pepper, and salt. Coat meat thoroughly and completely.
Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a cast-iron skillet. Add steak. Brown on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes a side. Move the skillet to the oven. Cook 5 to 6 minutes more.
Remove steak from skillet, let sit for 5 minutes; thinly slice across the grain.

Note: A version of this review previously appeared in the Illinois Entertainer.
Adding five tracks to Imelda May's second release, Mayhem, underscores the Irish singer-songwriter's ability to excel at whatever genre of popular music she chooses. The 21-track More Mayhem digs heavily into Stray Cats style rock-a-billy, but also features May belting out authentic blues, vamping to burlesque, evoking 1940s torch songs, and playing cowgirl. Her band, particularly guitarist Darrel Higham, never fails to set the appropriate mood.
The Halloween fun of "Psycho" has a hint of the James Bond theme, and Higham brings that twanging guitar sound to the equally energetic "Let Me Out" and "All For You." Dan Priseman's horn playing adds to the lively approach on the ragtime influenced "Inside Out" and the title track. May finds her own way to interpret the Gloria Jones/Soft Cell hit "Tainted Love," and captures the emotion of a riding out the ups and downs of a relationship on "Kentish Town Waltz." The Country & Western swing of the bonus track "Walking After Midnight" and powerful "Blues Calling" add to this well-rounded CD's appeal.

Ladies, Gentlemen, Bloggers!
We have cycled around to that time again. That time when I must, as your faithful, hardworking Maharaja, present The State of The Blog Address.
As the competition for Trivia Champion approaches it's boiling point, the interest in blogging approaches its freezing point. We as bloggers must fight our ADD tendencies. The grass is not greener. The pie is not sweeter. And that shiny things is really just the reflection of the sun on broken glass. Hear me, dare I say, and listen. Our precious blog is dying and only you can save it.
Trivia is a wonderful thing, but it is the blog that has gotten us here. Here to this trivial pursuit of academic prestige. I challenge each of you. To a dual, you say? No. To a pie eating contest, you say? No. To a race perhaps. No. I challenge each of your to blog. Throughout history, wars have been successful in stimulating economies and challenges have been successful in stimulating blogs (tradition has to start somewhere).
As I close, I leave you with one thing. BLOG!!!!
God bless you, these united States, and the omnipotent blog.

The dedication to this novel of South Africa, drew me in immediately and hinted at the beautiful perspective in this work of fiction:
"For Maurna, my beloved Old Duck, and for Eunice, Puleng and Nomthandazo who taught me that even though human beings can be segregated, their hearts cannot because love is colour-blind and can walk through walls."
The Soweto Uprising of 1976 leaves both Robin, a young white girl, and Beauty, an Xhosa teacher, grieving unimaginable loss. Their parallel interwoven narratives tell the story of racial conflict and the emotions and tensions at the heart of apartheid-era South Africa. In the aftermath of tragedy, Beauty comes to care for Robin and the two forge a bond through deep personal losses. But Robin knows that if Beauty reunites with her daughter, Robin could lose her new caretaker forever, and that is something she cannot bear. She makes a desperate decision with devastating consequences. Readers who enjoyed The Help and The Secret Life of Bees, might like this one as well.
Good character development and an authentic knowledge of the country of South Africa are strengths of this novel which is highly readable and has, in my opinion, been left wide open for a sequel. Bianca Marais studied at the University of Toronto and now lives in that city, but is originally from South Africa and has done volunteer work in Soweto.

Robert Terrell Haskins, who made sexual attacks against women before moving on to child rape, pleaded guilty to the latter charge yesterday, more than a decade after he was first callled a "threat to the community." Police felt so sure that Haskins was unable to control himself that they expressed outrage in 2003 when a little-known judge reduced an attempted rape charge for an attack on a woman in Greenleaf Park to a misdemeanor sexual battery conviction. The move freed Haskins, and authorities predicted that Haskins would attack again. Sadly, that prediction proved accurate. Lisa Provence wrote about the new charges against Haskins for attacking a then-eight-year-old boy, and the Daily Progress was in court for Friday's hearing on Haskins's guilty plea to two counts of forcible sodomy.Read more on: robert haskins

Judges need to start being held accountable for their irresponsible decisions when it comes to protecting our children. the experts said he was a threat and the judge overruled them. He or she should be held accountable.
I agree with bryan they get payed big bucks and have a lot of power over us and with that responsibility should come accountability. I understand they can't be right all the time but he/she ignored recommendations and made the decision and in hind site it was a bad one.
How is any sexual battery a misdeanor? I hope the dude has a misserable life in prison .He should be castrated. My heart goes out to the 8 year old.
Sadly, local judges have a terrible record when it comes to protecting children and punishing those that prey or would prey on children. For example, slaps on the wrist for child porn cases is the norm in our local district courts.
Absolutely judges should be held accountable for letting would be perpetrators off the hook. Here's hoping that when the time comes, we're able to replace those that don't take these crimes seriously.
The law should be clear when it comes to Rapists and child molesters. When it's proven beyond a reasonable doubt of their guilt, There should be no plea bargains. There should be no trial There should be no mercy.I understand the Sixth ammendment and our rights, but come on..there should be no mercy when a heinous crime is commited on a baby/child. It's a Pandemic..and it sickens me that we are hearing so much now of babies being raped and so much abuse on those who do not have a fighting chance to defend themselves,
Enough is enough!
What is the little-known judge's name?
Is he/she still on the bench? Where/what court?
How can the public hold judges accountable if journalists help hide their identity?
Why doesn't the Hook find out who was the judge in the earlier case, we should know who is, what party he belongs to and who appointed him.
Haskins needs to go away for a long while. He has been a perv around here for some time.
If you want to know more about the judge, The Hook gave you all the information you need. Click on the "new charges" link in the story above. It links to another Hook story which contains all the details. The judge is now retired in Richmond.
He needs to hang.
Cut off his penis and graft it to his forehead. Let him live like that and turn him loose. The sad part is that he was not convicted the first time because the woman was able to fight him off or get away. So they let him loose. Then he found victims that were easier prey. Violence against women and children is the same thing, dammit. When are you all on the bench going to figure that out. It is all just violence on what they consider easy prey. It is all the same.
This animal deserves life or better yet death. Because he was not held accountable and pay for raping women, an innocent child has become his latest victim. Creatures like him will not change regardless of the ammount of time they spend in jail or the ammount of counseling they recieve. Casteration will not take away their urges as they will find other ways to harm future victims. It is bad enough for someone to hurt another human being, but when they attack a child under the age of 13 there is no place for them in our society. The laws really need to change. There have been so many stories about children being molested, raped, and involved in child porn. How many children are going to have to suffer before the law says enough is enough? One too many!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

News Archives - 2002
Augsburg Professor Garry Hesser named for Distinguished Sociologist Award
The Sociologists of Minnesota (SOM) have named Dr. Garry Hesser, professor of sociology and director of Metro-Urban Studies at Augsburg College, for the 2002 Distinguished Sociologist Award. The award was announced by Dr. Sue Smith-Cunnien, past-president of the organization, at the SOM Fall Meeting in St. Cloud.
Hesser is the third Augsburg recipient of the award, which was first presented to longtime Augsburg professor Joel Torstenson in 1980. Dr. Diane Pike, a current colleague of Hesser's, was selected in 1998.
Another of Hesser's current Augsburg colleagues, Dr. Tim Pippert, was named President-elect of the organization at the meeting. Pippert has served as the SOM treasurer for the past year.
Hesser, who has been in the sociology profession for more than 30 years, said he is immensely honored by the award. "My favorite quote, which I adapt slightly, comes from futurist Robert Theobald, who said "Privileged and fortunate people are those who are growing and helping others to grow.' All of us (in the Sociology profession) are immensely privileged, I think, to have a vocation and a discipline that enables us to make a living, growing and helping others to grow'."
A popular professor who has been named for both the "Teacher of the Year" and "Distinguished Faculty" awards at Augsburg, Hesser teaches courses in Community, Urban Sociology and Urban Planning, and Creativity and Problem Solving. In 1998 he was selected for the Thomas Erhlich Award for national leadership and scholarship in advancing the field of service-learning as a teacher, researcher, and community partner. In 2001, Hesser was given the Pioneer Award by The National Society for Experiential Education.
Active in numerous state, regional and national organizations, he is the past president of the National Society for Experiential Education and of the Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs. He has led workshops on service-learning and experiential education on more than 40 campuses and professional meetings and is a Minnesota Campus Compact Fellow collaborating on "Multicultural Education for Social Change."
The author of numerous articles and publications, Hesser earned his B.A. from Phillips University, his M.Div. from Union Theological Seminary (NY), and his Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame. He and his wife Nancy, a city planner in St. Paul, are the parents of five children and reside near the Augsburg campus in Minneapolis.

It appears the copying machines are firing up in South Korea, with Samsung replicating Apple's iOS 6 Passbook app for its future Android handsets.
The Next Web reported Wednesday that Samsung has unveiled a new ticket and coupon management app for Android, and this one is likely to look familiar to iPhone users.
Announced at the company's Developer Day at Mobile World Congress, Samsung Wallet takes direct aim at Apple's Passbook - an iPhone app that allows users to store tickets, coupons, boarding passes and other data electronically.
The move isn't much of a surprise considering the term "Samsung Wallet" was listed in a U.S. trademark application nearly a year ago.
Partners lined up
Although the open Samsung Wallet API is still in beta, the company is accepting early developer sign-ups ahead of a March 7 launch.
Current U.S. partners include names already familiar to Passbook users, including Walgreens, Major League Baseball, Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com and Lufthansa.
Samsung Wallet even replicates the smaller details of Apple's app, including time and location-based push notifications which alert users when they're near a favorite store.
Like Passbook, Samsung Wallet is not yet enabled for near-field communication wireless payments, but the company is expected to eventually implement the technology thanks to an existing partnership with Visa.

Three others arrested after police search
BARABOO, Wis. — A fourth man was arrested after an investigation and search of a Baraboo home found heroin, marijuana and drug paraphernalia, according to the Sauk County Drug Task Force.
Jacob R. Wagner, 30, of Wisconsin Dells was arrested on suspicion of party to the crime of manufacture/delivery of heroin and possession of heroin.
Two Baraboo residents and a Portage man were arrested earlier this week on suspicion of multiple felony drug charges. Police said Bobby Kalista, 31, of Baraboo and Dustin Kotula, 28, also of Baraboo, were charged with manufacturing and delivering heroin and maintaining a drug house. The three were arrested after the task force searched the residence at 215 Seventh Ave. in Baraboo.
The task force's investigation is ongoing, the group stated.
Officers from the Baraboo Police Department, Sauk County Sheriff's Office, Sauk Prairie Police Department, Lake Delton Police Department, Reedsburg Police Department, LaValle Police Department, Plain Police Department and the Spring Green Police Department and Wisconsin State Patrol make up the Sauk County Drug Task Force.

In this lab, I learnt how to create and edit a wiki page. I learnt how to format a page and log my attendance for each lab. I also learnt how to create headings and different types of subheadings and the coding involved in achieving that, as well as how to put in text under these particular headings. Two equal signs are used for headers, i.e. ==Title== and subsequent subheadings are created by adding an extra equal sign, e.g. ===subheading===. This lab also enabled me to learn how to search for scientific articles on various research databases such as PubMed and BioMed central, and use filters on these websites in order to find articles of interest. Furthermore, I learn the importance of copyright declarations on these articles, and which papers can and cannot be used in assignments. These databases were then used to be linked into the wiki, and I learnt the ways in which specific articles could be formatted to be linked into the wiki page. Coding was also used such as using [url] to link specific searches on the database, and the coding of <article database> article number </article database> was used to link to the specific article of choice, as well as provide additional information regarding the authors and publication date of the articles. In addition, coding was learnt to link specific pages within the wiki by using two square brackets, title of page, and for pages outside of this particular wiki, the coding of [URL] would be used. In order to give the link a title, the coding of [URL/ title] is used.

Lab 2 assessment: Summary of Article
Platelet functions are dependent upon the release of bioactive molecules from their granules, traditionally studied and classified in groups through electron microscopy techniques. These granules are essential for secondary haemostasis, and any deficiencies in number, shape or content leads to bleeding. In genetic disorders such as Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS), the absence of dense granules immensely slows down the rate of hemostasis at the site of injury. In normal circumstances, dense granules have been identified with EM techniques through the presence of an electron-dense core. However, these EM methods are time consuming and lead to differences in identification of the granules depending on different analysis types. As a result, the recent developments in super resolution microscopy (SRM) allow for structures to be resolved in the 10-200nm range, leading to individual platelet granules easily being resolved. SRM methods coupled with current automated image analysis methods allow for quantitative data of platelet granules to be obtained.
In order to effectively study the abilities of SRM, one such method- structured illumination microscopy (SIM)- was utilised in this study to distinguish between a group of healthy control patients and three patients with platelet storage disorders, in particular HPS. Of interest was the CD63 marker, as it is present in dense granules and has an altered distribution in HPS patients. The SRM techniques were used to reconstruct images from a sequence of raw images of the sample. In this study, SIM methods proved to be efficient, compatible with the routinely used fluorescent labels and achieved fast image-acquisition rates. The number of CD63-positive markers per platelet was determined through staining techniques, and this method enabled a more sensitive analysis of granules per platelet through SIM due to its improved resolution and removal of out of focus backgrounds. Samples of platelets were taken from healthy controls as well as HPS patients and SIM was used to differentiate between the two groups. Through this it was found that the mean number of dense granules in the controls (3.5) was far higher than that of the patients (0.07). Blood samples were consequently tested using SRM, counting the number of CD63-positive structures through SIM, and once again it was found that the number of CD63-positive structures per platelet was higher in the controls than in the patients. Thus, these results indicate that SIM is a rapid and successful method of identifying those with platelet bleeding disorders, and SRM can act as an effective determinant of a dense-granule disorder.

<pubmed> 26742911 </pubmed>
In this article, scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) is used to study the three dimensional structure of live mast cells, and the distribution of mast cell granules in each of their four developmental stages. This was done in the in the primo node (PN) of the primo vascular system from the surfaces of the large and small intestines, abdominal walls and bladder of rats, as mast cells are found to be in abundance here. Through the use of SICM, the mast cells were easily observed through the presence of their granule structures, and by the use of toludine blue stain. SICM methods were able to obtain a 3D image of these mast cells, with the surface of the cells densely covered with granules. Through this, it was able to be determined that the structure of the mast cell included 74 granules, with an average diameter of 1.2 micrometers. Upon further analysis, early stages of degranulation of the mast cell in stage 2 showed a granule-free region in the middle upper portion of the cell. In addition, the mast cell in stage 3 showed very sparse remnants of granules on the upper most parts of the cell surface. Here, SICM picked up the disintegrated boundary of the mast cell as having an appearance of laced patches, with a diameter of 1.6 micrometers. It was observed that the height of the mast cell progressively decreased with each stage, while the round shape and diameters of the granules remained the same.
This article was useful to the subtopic of mast cell structure, as it provided a detailed analysis of the structure and appearance of mast cells in their various developmental stages, with a focus on the mast cell granules during these stages. The graunles are an essential component of mast cell structure as these are secreted when mast cells are triggered, thus making it important to understand its structure. Hence, this article was useful in the research of the structure and morphology of mast cells. [4]
Article Source: A method for detailed analysis of the structure of mast cell secretory granules by negative contrast imaging
<pubmed> 26997316 </pubmed>
An essential aspect of mast cell structure is the large number of secretory granules (SG) found in the cytoplasm. These elicit inflammation through molecules including histamine and serotonin. Several models suggest that a single mast cell has a large number of different types of secretory granules, all in various stages of development. Secretory granules also contain lysosomal proteins and markers such as CD63, and are hence lysosomal granules.
In order properly study the structure of mast cells, this study aims to gain insight into the structure and organisation of SGs via negative contrast imaging (NCI). Within the mast cell, organelles such as SGs are separated from the cytoplasm by a lipid bilayer, and this method uses microscopy techniques in order to visualise negatively stained organelles. These NCI techniques highlight the presence of small outlines in the perinuclear region surrounded by large, spherical shapes. NCI usage in this study also identified key structures such as the cell body, nucleoli, nuclear membrane as well as the mitochondria. The structural appearance of mast cell SGs was found to be either single elongated structures or a cluster of multiple spherical structures strung together. Experimental data indicated SGs are cylindrical in shape, and fuse along the vertical axis, highlighting polarity in structure. Further, time lapse observation during the cell cycle showed that SGs increase in abundance with cell size, but are under continuous control to maintain size distribution. This data is important as mast cell proliferation in peripheral tissues is an issue of interest in allergy treatment.
Thus, this article was beneficial in facilitating knowledge in the sub topic of mast cell morphology as it sheds light on the structure of mast cell SGs, including their organelle volume, size and number using NCI techniques. These methods can ultimately provide more information on the detailed molecular mechanisms of SG biogenesis in mast cells. [6]

<pubmed> 22344748 </pubmed>
This article examines the role of PLD2 in mast cell structure maintenance. It is thought that PLD plays a key role in mast cell degranulation, and PLD2 is essential in maintaining the structure of mast cells. The study examined if differences in PLD2 expression reflected upon alternations in morphology of the mast cells, with different cell lines being used, and was found that the inactive form of PLD2 has a dramatic effect on the morphology of these cells. The morphology of secretory granules was also determined, with these granules being heterogeneous in some cell lines include PDL2Ca, but having an electron lucid content in others. It was thus found through this study that the overexpression of the inactive form of PLD2 has a dramatic effect on the structure of mas cells, thus suggesting that the production of PA by PLD2 assists in the structural maintenance of the cytoskeleton, golgi complex as well as influencing the distribution of lysosomes and secretory granules in mast cells.
This article is hence relevant to the sub topic of mast cell structure as it highlights the specific role of PLD2 in the maintenance of the structure and morphology of the mast cell, as well as the structures within the cell. Thus, this article is beneficial as it provides a background knowledge regarding the way in which the specific structure of the cell is maintained. [7]
Article Source: NOD1 and NOD2 Interact with the Phagosome Cargo in Mast Cells: A Detailed Morphological Evidence
<pubmed> 25502289 </pubmed>
This article analyses the detailed structure of the mast cell, and in particular, the mast cell phagosome, as it has key functions in triggering the inflammatory process and has phagocytic properties. The mast cells express NOD1 and NOD2 proteins whose role is to recognize intracellular foreign components and initiate cytokine synthesis. In this study, five experiments were conducted in which mast cells were incubated with E. coli and at least 100 cells were analysed in order to determine the main morphology in each cell population. The maturation of the paghosome structure of the mast cells was also followed closely, and the outside leaflet of the mast cell plasma membrane was able to be distinguished. As structure was analysed, it was seen that many granules were interacting with the phagosome, with the phagosome membrane structure undergoing remodeling over time. It was also established that the phagosome membrane is interrupted in places in direct contact with the granule components, and these interruptions were observed at sites of granule-phagosome interaction. Additionally, NOD1 and NOD2 were found to be associated with granule surface or the granule matrix of the mast cell. The article was thus useful for this particular subtopic as it analyses the structure and morphology of the various components of the mast cell, such as the phagosome. It is beneficial to gain some perspective on the structure of the phagosome that is heavily involved in inflammatory processes, which is a key function of the mast cell. [8]

Peer reviews
Group 1
This page is well detailed and provides comprehensive information about megakaryocytes and their structure and function. The introduction and history are well detailed, providing a good overview of the basic information regarding the cell, and the table format of the history allows the information to be presented in an organised and easy to follow manner. While the structure of the cell is well detailed, the majority of this section only uses one source, and I believe it may be able to be improved by using additional articles (which are perhaps a more recent). The development section is thoroughly done, with the information presented in an organised, easy to understand manner. The histological image is also very useful in supplementing the information, as was the image regarding the maturation of the megakaryocyte. However, the section regarding thrombopoietin receptors under the signalling topic does not appear to have any references, and this should be fixed whenever possible. The function and role section is well detailed, with clear subheadings organising the information into distinct sections, and the images also help to substantiate this information. The video in the pathology section is a useful tool of providing an overview of the topic. However, the references for the essential thrombocytosis section appear to be separate, and not within the standard reference list at the end of the page. This seems to be a little disorganised, as the drop down table showcasing the references doesn't allow for the specific citations/ reference numbers to be used within the body of information like the rest of the page. In addition, the osteoporosis section doesn't appear to be complete, but this can be fixed in the near future. The future of megakaryocytes section was well detailed, with well structured information about each of the different areas of research. In addition to this, while this is a minor point, I found that the numbering of the images throughout the page is out of order, with some numbers doubling up (such as there being more than one figure 4), and this can cause some confusion on the page.
Overall, I found this page to be quite informative and education regarding megakaryocytes. The information is well presented, with distinct sections showcasing different aspects of the cell. The images are also well chosen, and supplement the information very well. Some areas require a little more work in terms of referencing and providing more substantial information, as well as the formatting of the images. However, on the whole this is a good page that is very educational regarding megakaryocytes.
Group 2
This page is well structure and extremely well detailed, providing substantial information about red blood cells in a clear and concise manner. The introduction provides a strong overview of the cell, and is well detailed. However, the final sentence of this section seems to be unfinished (ending with "such as…"), and I am assuming a brief overview of current research should have been added there to complete the sentence. All the different subsections are extensively detailed, and the information is presented in an easy to read and understand manner. The structure and function sections are particularly well done, with the corresponding electron micrograph image of a red blood cell further facilitating ths information. However, one suggestion would be to add more images or visuals on the page, in order to balance out the substantial amount of information, as well as to make it more interesting and user friendly. All of the information is referenced appropriately and thoroughly, and the synthesis and regulation subtopic in particular provides unique information about the cell. The drop down tables in the diseases section was also a good touch, providing extra information if desired.
Overall, this group page is very well done with extremely detailed and well presented information regarding red blood cells. There is an extensive use of citations and references, indicating the group has undertaken a significant amount of research, and the information has been presented in an easy to understand manner. The page could benefit from more images, however, which can help to solidify the information being presented. In addition, the information within the sections could be broken down into smaller chunks (possibly through the use of more visual aids), as there is currently an extensive amount of paragraphs of text on the page. On the whole however, this group page was very well done.
Group 3
This page provides sufficient information regarding B cells, with its respective sections providing a solid amount of detail to educate those reading the page. However, the history section requires a lot more detail, and more information regarding events that occurred in more recent years as well. Further, the vast majority of the page does not seem to be referenced in the required manner, and thus the reference list at the end of the page has 18 links only. While there are in text citations throughout the page, I am assuming that they need to be properly referenced so that they get added to the reference list. The actual information is detailed and thorough, with the subsections helping to make it flow and appear organised and informative. The function and the types of B cell sections in particular are very detailed, and extremely educational. The images also provide extra supplementary information to the text, however, I believe that the images need to be edited so that there is a title and small summary (on the actual page) of what the pictures are displaying. The page could also be improved through the addition of more images to break up the long paragraphs of text, especially in areas such as the different B cell types, as well as the function section. Further, some images don't have the copyright information, or a description of the image when it is clicked on. The applications section is quite unique and a good way to end the page, providing information on the diagnostic uses of the cell type. However, once again, this section is not referenced either, and no in text citations are provided. Additionally, the immunodeficiency section is not completed yet.
On the whole, this group's page provides well detailed information regarding this cell type, and allows readers to gain a sound understanding of the details of B cells. The accompanying images further enhance the content, and allow for a deeper understand of the topic. However, some sections need to be worked on and completed, and the references need to be added so that the enter page is properly cited and referenced. The addition of more images could also positively benefit this page.
Group 4
This page is well detailed and informative on the whole and well structured, providing readers with a good understanding of natural killer cells. However, the history section appears to require more information, as there are not enough dates on the timeline outlining the history of the cell. The specific subtopics are quite informative and well structured, although a few additional images would help to supplement the text. Additionally, while the images are a good visual aid and help to supplement the information on the page (especially images such as the effector function diagram), a few of them are not properly structured, as some are missing the image descriptions and others do not have copyright statements. The abnormalities in disease section is well done, with good descriptions of specific diseases. The table at the start of the section is a good addition, as it provides a nice overview of the role of natural killer cells in disease. However, this section requires more references, as in many cases there is only one article being referenced for each paragraph or section (such as in sections like rheumatoid arthritis and cancer). Additionally, on the whole, this page requires a few more references, and I believe this can be achieved by added more of these into the abnormalities in disease section. The current research and glossary sections are a good addition to the page, however the glossary needs to be completed.
Overall, this group page provides a lot of well detailed information regarding natural killer cells and is very informative on this topic. While this information is presented in a concise manner, the page could be further improved with the addition of more images and visual aids, and a more detailed explanation of these images. The references of this page also needs to be added to and improved upon. However, on the whole this is an informative and well done page.
Group 6
This page is extremely detailed and it is evident that a lot of thought and work went into the way in which the information is presented. The introduction is well done and provides a good overview of T cells in an educational manner. The video placed in the introduction is also a good touch to make the page interesting from the very start. All of the individual sections are very well done and show a high level of detail, and the section of the different types of T cells is extremely thorough and provides good detail on the entire range of T cells. All of the drop down tables are also a nice touch to the page, with links to videos such as Khan Academy further helping to solidify knowledge on the subject. Additionally, the supplementing images are well picked out as they serve to solidify the information that is being provided. However, while looking through the images, the diagram of CD4 and CD8 co-receptors doesn't seem to include a copyright statement (it only includes the fact that it is copyrighted from the British Pharmacological Society), so that is something that needs to be fixed. While the extensive number of references indicates the high level of research that has been put into the page, some of them seem to be links to websites and not articles, and I am not sure if those websites can be used as a source of information in this assignment. The research at UNSW section is a nice, unique touch to add to the page, as is the glossary, although it needs to be filled out.
On the whole, this page is very well done and it is evident that a lot of effort went into creating it. All of the information is well structured and constructed, and all of the additional touches such as images and drop down sections are extremely informative. Some improvements could be made regarding the references and the images, but overall this page is very well done.
Group 7
On the whole, this page provides a good amount of information regarding eosinophils in a clear and engaging manner. However, I feel that the page would benefit from including an introduction/ overview of the cell at the beginning, instead of starting immediately from the history of eosinophils. Additionally, while the history section is well detailed, It could benefit from having information from more recent dates as well (as it stops at 1879), as well as information from more sources than just one article. The use of images is well done and it complements the information in the structure and birth, life and death in the body sections well. Furthermore, the text itself in these sections is well presented and easy to follow. The section on role in allergy and disease provides a lot of good detail, however, some sections seem a little on the short side, such as the sections on viral, fungal and bacterial infection, and might benefit from adding more information there. The addition of the drop down videos was a good aspect on the page, and allows for a more interesting read. One other minor point would be the fact that the last two references in the reference list don't appear to be linked properly as there is no pubmed reference for them.
Overall, this page is well done with a lot of good information provided. However, I do believe that it can be improved by the addition of more text to make the different sections more comprehensive. There is a nice balance of images and texts, and this could benefit even more by the addition of more information.

I'm not a fan of french food per se, but I am a fan of food! Food is
like an indescribable feeling, kind of orgasmic, like a volcano going
off in your mouth (good visual right?) I enjoy it so much that I'm
thinking of investing in a cookbook. The last several days have been
wonderful! Stuffed chicken breast with mushrooms, garlic, and onions,
spaghetti and homemade turkey meatballs, pancakes, eggs, and potatoes
for breakfast! Yum yum yum! As I type I am preparing to go on yet
another excursion into Wal-Mart, the great beyond!! Wal-Mart is probably
one of the fattest places I've been in my entire life, but its so
breathtakingly beautiful! The translucent lights, the cartons of fruit,
barrels of tomatoes, boxes of other miscellaneous shit...sigh...what a
beaut! This of course is coming from the girl who goes to bed because
she's excited to eat the next morning. So if you love food as much as I
do, I suggest you love the gym just as much or even more. I'm off to
invest in my nutritional future. Ta ta for now bishes!
Peace & Blessings kiddies

Frog Species Found in Big Apple
Scientists discover new species all the time—on the order of 15,000 a year. One of the latest additions to the tree of life is a new type of leopard frog. Which might sound unremarkable, except for where it was found: New York City.
But how does a frog go unnoticed in the Big Apple? Well even experts have a hard time telling this new species from its northern and southern cousins on looks alone. But the new guy has a different croak, which raised ecologists' suspicions. So they tracked down four leopard frog populations with the unique call—including one within view of the Statue of Liberty—and took DNA samples.
As they suspected, the odd croakers weren't southern or northern leopard frogs, or even a mix. They had a genetic ancestry of their own—earning them new species status. Those results appear in the journal Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution. [Catherine E. Newman et al., "A new species of leopard frog (Anura: Ranidae) from the urban northeastern U.S."]
The frogs are tough New Yorkers—the center of their range appears to be Yankee Stadium. But the researchers say that the urban amphibians face threats like pesticides and infectious diseases. Not to mention real-life games of Frogger.

Shuster: Sorry for saying Obama lied
House Transportation Chairman Bill Shuster apologized Wednesday for calling President Barack Obama a liar after the State of the Union speech.
Shuster (R-Pa.), speaking to POLITICO from Statuary Hall minutes after the speech, said the president "is lying" when he claimed that businesses want to invest in countries with high-speed rail.
"I think he's lying about CEOs — they want to invest in a country that has high-speed rail? Really? Tell me what CEO said that, that cares about high-speed rail," Shuster said when asked for his thoughts on the speech. "Manufacturers want to invest in a country that has roads that are built, they want the infrastructure to be right for the transportation system, but to say one of the reasons they're going to invest in America and manufacturing plants is because of high-speed rail is crazy."
But less than 10 hours later, Shuster had dramatically changed his tone.
"This type of incendiary rhetoric is not my style," Shuster said at a Chamber of Commerce infrastructure summit after apologizing for his remarks. "I do not think the president is a liar."
Later, when asked what he thought of the "fix it first" portion of the speech, Shuster threw his hands up and said, "I started off saying what I shouldn't have said."
"It's a retread," he continued. "There wasn't much there, and I'll leave it at that."
This article first appeared on POLITICO Pro at 10:29 a.m. on February 13, 2013.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie! It has taken its place alongside Carpenter's original Halloween as my MUST watch film for October! In fact, this year I watched this one Halloween night, after everyone else had gone to bed.
Someone really needs to hire Mike to direct the next Halloween movie. Just sayin'!
