The DreamFactory REST API is a REST-ful implementation of our interface allowing access to all services provisioned on a DreamFactory instance. Access is granted to everything when authenticated as an administrator, or based on the role accesses assigned to the user, or based on default role access assigned to each application for non-authenticated calls.
A very cool tool to help you with our REST API is the Live API application, also know as "swagger", included with every instance. An example of our Live API can be viewed here.
The layout of the typical DreamFactory REST API call can best be described as follows...
<verb> http[s]://<server-name>/api/v<api-version>/[<service-name>]/[<resource-path>][?<param-name>=<param-value>]
with the following breakdown for each part...
- verb - The HTTP verb matching the use of the API call, see [Verbs](#verbs) section below.
- server-name - The name or IP given to the installed web server that is running the DreamFactory instance.
- api-version - This is version number of the REST API, currently "2". Performing a GET here returns an array of available services when permissions allow.
- service-name - The API name of the service you want to access. Performing a GET here on most of the native services will return an array of available resources.
- resource-path - The optional resource path of the service. This path may include multiple sections divided by '/' as such to define the resource.
- param-name - URL parameters that are available, which vary by service type, see [common](#common) ones below.
- param-value - Values given for URL parameters. Note: Each value must be properly encoded.
Please check out the sections below and the [Auth Overview](Authentication and Authorization) section before digging into the other sections of this documentation.
The DreamFactory REST API adheres to the typical REST HTTP verbs like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE. We have also added support for PATCH. In certain services, HEAD and OPTIONS verbs may be supported as well. We also support HTTP verb tunneling discussed in more detail [here](#tunneling).
POST vs PUT vs PATCH
Verbs like GET and DELETE are pretty self explanatory, but the difference in the three P's as we call them, may not be as clear. In use of all three, posted data with the request is expected except where noted.
- POST - typically used to create a new resource and typically the response status is "201 Created" if successful.
- PUT - typically used to update or replace an existing resource as a whole, i.e. the old resource is essentially replaced with the new resource. This has been around a while and heavily used in file-based situations. One place to note here is the use of NoSQL (i.e. no schema) records, where the whole record is replaced with new record.
- PATCH - typically used to update only a part of an existing resource, i.e. new data or settings are merged into the existing resource, possibly overriding existing data or settings.
In some situations, upsert capabilities may exist where posted data may be used to update an existing resource if present or create a new resource altogether. In this case, it is up to the individual API to determine whether POST or PUT is used.
Common Headers & Parameters
Most of the common REST API options can be passed via HTTP headers or URL parameters. While these are "commonly" used, they may not be required or allowed in all scenarios, see each API for more detail.
API Key
Your API key is required in most REST calls to your instance (except session management and some system calls), and is used as part of the system authentication process. It is generated for you when you create each application and can be regenerated if compromised.
- URL Parameter - api_key=<your_api_key_here>
- HTTP Header - X-DreamFactory-API-Key: <your_api_key_here>
Session Token
For all authenticated requests made (outside of the browser session control) after logging in, to the API, you'll need to pass the session_token received in the login response along with each call to authenticate the request. This can currently only be done in the following way...
- URL Parameter - session_token=<your_session_token_here>
- HTTP Header - X-DreamFactory-Session-Token: <your_session_token_here>
Request Format
For request data formats, where applicable, the default is JSON. This can be overwritten by using the following options...
- URL Parameter - content_type=<format_option>
- HTTP Header - Content-Type: <format_option>
Response Format
You can specify what format or content type you would like to receive back by using the Accept header, with a value of either "application/json" (which is the default for the api) or others like "application/xml", where _format_option_ can be "application/json"(default for the API), "application/xml", etc.
- URL Parameter - accept=<format_option>
- HTTP Header - Accept: <format_option>
HTTP Verb Tunnelling
In some scenarios, like web-servers or routers not supporting the 'DELETE' HTTP verb, or complicated filter requests for databases that require posting data instead or URL parameters, tunneling the actual request verb inside a POST may be required. To accomplish this use the following options on POST requests, where _verb_ can be "GET", "PUT", "PATCH", or "DELETE"...
- URL Parameter - method=<verb>
- HTTP Header - X-HTTP-METHOD: <verb>
If your client/browser supports (which all modern browsers do) compressed content then you can setup your web server to return response in a compressed format such as gzip, deflate, etc. When contents are delivered by the server in a compressed format, it takes a lot less bandwidth than it would normally take to deliver the uncompressed content, therefore, speeds up the overall content delivery and response time.
If your client is capable of accepting compressed content then it specifies the compression format (gzip, deflate etc.)
in the request header
Accept-Encoding. On the other side if your server is configured properly and supports the
compression format specified in the request header, it then compresses the response and then delivers to the client. The server uses
response header to indicate which format is used for the compressed content.
You can easily configure the two main web servers - Nginx and Apache to enable compressed response content.
Put the following directives in your VirtualHost config section. To know more about these configs click [here.](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gzip_module.html#gzip_comp_level) To know more about Nginx response compression/decompression click [here.](https://www.nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/compression-and-decompression/)
gzip on; gzip_disable "msie6";
gzip_vary on; gzip_proxied any; gzip_comp_level 6; gzip_buffers 16 8k; gzip_http_version 1.1; gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
Sample Nginx VirtualHost config for DreamFactory:
Apache requires
mod_deflate to be installed and enabled for this. After that just need to specify
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE config inside the
Directory settings for your VirtualHost config. To find out more about
mod_deflate click [here.](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_deflate.html)
Sample Apache VirtualHost config for DreamFactory:
NOTE: It is also possible to send a compressed request body to the server and then on the server side decompress it before passing it to the application. However, this is not that widely used and browsers typically do not compress the request body automatically. You can always compress your request body in your client application and use
Content-Encoding header to indicate the compression format used. On the server
side Nginx do not support decompressing request body out of the box. Apache can take care of this by using the
mod_deflate module. You can
find more about this [here.](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_deflate.html)
Common Service Types
The DreamFactory REST API consist of dynamic service types, so the possibilities of the API are limitless. However, several come standard with every instance or are common additions. They are listed here with links to our Live API to try them out.

The frantic third-period rally at Madison Square Garden was intense, featuring the most pressure that the sinking Rangers had put on Winnipeg goaltender Ondrej Pavelec all night.
The Rangers trailed by two goals entering the third period and outshot their opponent 14-6, but the Jets held on to beat the Rangers, 4-3, Tuesday night.
Taylor Pyatt broke a 13-game drought to cut a 3-1 lead to 3-2 and defenseman Anton Stralman sliced a 4-2 lead to 4-3, and the Rangers continued to swarm, but it wasn't enough to avert their fourth straight loss, dropping the Rangers (8-8-2) to 11th place in the East.
"Hopefully, we are going to get some progress from the third period, some confidence," said Marian Gaborik, who assisted on Stralman's goal. "We know we have a good group out there."
No one can blame Ryan Callahan. The Rangers captain did all he could to spark the depleted team. He fearlessly blocked two slap shots by Zach Bogosian, cut the Jets' 2-0 lead in half in the second period on a rebound and almost scored shorthanded. But the Rangers could not capitalize on the energy of the right wing when it counted.
Help might be on the way: Rick Nash, who missed his fourth straight game with an undisclosed injury, was at the morning skate and said he felt better and hoped to return soon.
With two of their top four defensemen out injured -- Ryan McDonagh and Michael Del Zotto -- the Rangers had to shuffle their six defensemen and that often resulted in a scramble in their own zone.
Defensive errors weren't the only problem. Callahan's goal at 9:28 of the second period ended a 102:53 scoreless stretch. The Rangers were shut out in Montreal on Saturday.
To add insult to injury, two of the Jets' first three goals were netted by Olli Jokinen, the former Ranger who came via trade from Calgary, along with Brandon Prust, in February 2010. And Winnipeg was playing its third road game in four nights.
After a scoreless first period, Callahan made his stellar defensive plays on the same shift -- one block and a diving clearing attempt without a stick, bringing the crowd to its feet with a chant of "Cal-ly, Cal-ly." But Jokinen scored at 5:55 and just 1:07 later, Evander Kane fired a shot from the right circle that clanged off the far post and angled in.
Callahan didn't slow down, even if the Rangers stalled. He pounced on a puck that rolled behind Pavelec (30 saves) and scored his fifth of the season at 9:28. Brian Boyle went off for kneeing to short-circuit any momentum at that point.
The Rangers trailed 3-1 in the third period before the teams traded three goals in 1:13. Pyatt deflected Stralman's shot in at 9:17. Twenty seconds later, Kane scored his second goal on a shot that trickled through Henrik Lundqvist's pads. "The fourth one I need to stop, it squeezed through my pad and my glove," said Lundqvist (28 saves).
Fifty-three seconds later, Stralman scored on a rebound of a Brad Richards shot to close the gap to a goal. But Pavelec held his ground when Lundqvist was pulled for an extra attacker.
"At the end, you'd like to see him [Callahan] rewarded; we're one shot shy," John Tortorella said. "If we get some people back and we have that type of effort, we'll be on our way."

Forest planning gets a facelift
Critics say the new look will turn national forests into lawsuit magnets
If there's a driver's manual for each of the nation's 155 national forests, it's the forest plan. Tailor-made for each forest and revised every 15 years, the plans provide the broad framework for decisions about how forests are used. They specify where logging, grazing and motorized-vehicle use can take place, which areas may be eligible for protection as wilderness, which areas are priorities for reducing fire hazard by thinning trees and lighting controlled burns, and which are especially critical for rare plants and animals.
Almost everyone who's done time in the U.S. Forest Service agrees that the rules governing the planning process, last amended in 1982, have problems. On Dec. 6, the Forest Service announced a major new rule that's the most significant overhaul of the forest planning process in two decades.
"This rule's about to bring the planning process into the 21st century," says Forest Service Associate Chief Sally Collins.
But in an era when Forest Service Chief Dale Bosworth says his agency is bedeviled by "the process predicament" of endless appeals and lawsuits, it's unclear whether the new rule will help the agency out of the woods. Critics say the plan not only cuts out an important layer of environmental oversight, but also slashes public involvement - and could create even more gridlock in the courts.
A one-two punch
This isn't the first time the Forest Service has tried to revise the forest planning process. In November 2000, the Clinton administration made its own revisions to the rule, giving "ecological sustainability" top priority. But that rule was frozen soon after President George W. Bush took office (HCN, 2/12/01: The power of love, and its opposite).
The new rule takes aim at some of the more onerous pieces of the forest planning process, including "viability" requirements meant to protect species not listed under the Endangered Species Act (HCN, 10/14/02: Forest protection under the knife). Even former Forest Service Chief Jack Ward Thomas, who championed ecological sustainability in the traditionally pro-logging agency, says a little less red tape isn't necessarily a bad thing. "The viability rule is more restrictive than the Endangered Species Act," he says.
The new nationwide rule goes much further, however, giving "social sustainability" and "economic sustainability" equal clout with ecological sustainability. Adding to a series of Bush administration moves exempting federal projects from analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA, the rule no longer requires an environmental impact statement on forest plans (HCN, 10/28/02: Bush undermines bedrock environmental law).
Conservationists say that eliminating NEPA analysis cuts out a crucial, broadscale assessment of impacts on sensitive species and the environment generally. NEPA requires federal agencies to consider the "cumulative effects" of any action they take: A proposal to build a new road, for example, must also consider existing roads and their overall effects on wildlife migration corridors.
Forest Service officials point out that forest plans are like zoning blueprints for community planners: While they lay out the framework of what can happen where, they don't represent a decision to actually do anything on the ground.
Project-level decisions such as timber sales often require separate environmental impact statements (EISes) which duplicate the work done at the forest-plan level, says Fred Norbury, a career Forest Service planner who's now the agency's director of Ecosystem Management Coordination. Eliminating the forest plan EIS is simply "a practical, pragmatic judgment about where's the best place to spend the money for cumulative analysis."
But pushing environmental analysis down to the project level could bring its own problems. "They've come up with a short-term salve which will potentially expedite planning at the forest level," says Chris Wood, who served as the senior policy advisor to Clinton-era Forest Service Chief Michael Dombeck. "But to do that kind of cumulative analysis on a project-by-project basis is going to slow down individual projects by years."
Maybe not: The Wilderness Society's Michael Anderson says there is also a push to exempt many individual projects from NEPA. Earlier this year, attempts in Congress to wrangle such exemptions for fire-hazard reduction projects fizzled out. But on Dec. 11, both the Interior and Agriculture departments announced a proposal that would fast-track and exempt forest-thinning projects from NEPA review. Says Anderson, "It's an attack on NEPA from both ends of the forest management process."
And although the Forest Service says the new rule promotes collaborative, consensus-based public involvement in forest planning, critics say it actually cuts people out. The agency can enact four-year-long "interim amendments" that aren't subject to public comment. When public input is allowed, the agency will no longer consider mass-produced forms of public comment, such as postcards printed by environmental groups.
Perhaps most significantly, the new rule eliminates the public's right to appeal forest plans administratively. This gave individuals and organizations the opportunity to challenge a plan before an agency review board without resorting to lawsuits.
Instead, the agency is proposing a 30-day "pre-decisional objection process" during which individuals and groups can submit written objections to a proposed plan or amendment. "Getting people involved early on generally keeps you from going to court," says Associate Chief Collins. Under the new rule, she says, "You have the same right to appeal - it's just before the decision is made."
But by eliminating the opportunity to file an administrative appeal after the final decision is made, the Forest Service could be driving itself into the path of more lawsuits. "By saying you're going to eliminate (administrative) appeals," says Chris Wood, "you're basically saying: 'Go straight to litigation.' "
The public comment on the proposed rule runs through March 6.

Volunteering in Argentina: Arrival Procedure in Cordoba
- Arrival Airport: Córdoba (COR)
Volunteers fly into Cordoba airport which is about half-an-hour's drive away from our office. You will be met at the airport by a member of our local staff who will usually take you to our office to see where we are based and introduce you to the Projects Abroad team.
You will then be taken to your host family's house, which is usually not too far from our office. A typical welcome will involve sitting down with the family for a big meal and a chance to get to know everyone.
Volunteering in Argentina: Orientation and Induction
Usually on the following day, you will be given a thorough induction pack with maps of where you live, as well as where all the other volunteers are staying - not too far away in most cases. You will be shown around the local area, and the local transport system will be explained to you. There are frequent buses as well as inexpensive taxis. The following day you will be taken to work and introduced to your supervisor. Most volunteers take a local bus to get to work. If you are volunteering on a Standard Project, all necessary work-related transportation costs will be covered by Projects Abroad.
Most of our volunteers stay in and around Cordoba city, though some stay in the towns of Unquillo, Villa Allende, and Rio Ceballos. They are picturesque towns on the edge of Cordoba. Many Argentineans from Buenos Aires come to this part of the country for their vacations and it is easy to travel from one town to another.
Volunteers will find most of the things that they need - from shops to internet cafes - in the towns. If you want a wider selection of shops then Cordoba is only an hour away by bus. If you want to find out best places to go, whether it is to buy souvenirs or to go out for a meal, just ask our local staff or ask a volunteer who has been in Argentina for some time.
You will find a warm welcome from our local staff and host families as well as the Argentineans you will meet on the street. Although most of the local people will not speak any English you will find that they will be eager to meet you and find out about you. This is a great way to practice your Spanish as well as making some great new friends.

For reasons of good budgeting and accountability, California's local governments should have the ability to raise their own taxes. The principle should be clear: a local government that makes a spending decision on the program should have to set the tax that pays for the program. Then, those local officials must defend their tax and spending decision to voters.
Of course, California government is so centralized that local governments have little taxing authority. They are spenders, and they have spent big, particularly on salaries and benefits for law enforcement.
The depths of California's problems in this area are exposed whenever someone proposes to give localities more power to tax locally. Witness the opposition to Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal to eliminate redevelopment agencies -- which includes a new constitutional power for local voters, by a 55-percent supermajority to raise taxes for economic development. The locals object to getting this new power because it comes with responsibility and accountability. They'd rather just keep being spenders, and enjoying the free ride and political power of redevelopment agencies.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Mark Leno, a state senator from San Francisco, recently proposed to give locals the power to raise the vehicle license fee, or car tax, for local programs. This sounds like a good idea, but the fine print shows it doesn't go far enough. The car tax, under Leno's proposal, couldn't be raised locally by local governments themselves. It would require a two-thirds vote by the voters in the local community as well -- a high hurdle that allows a determined minority to frustrate the will of the majority. A car tax hike would also require a two-thirds vote of the local government.
Those are the very same barriers to local taxation that have centralized power in Sacramento -- and turned local governments into spenders. Leno has obvious political reasons for keeping those barriers in place -- they are part of the holy Prop 13 system that centralized power. But Leno's failure to challenge that status quo, while understandable, exposes just how government power has been centralized in the name of "people power" and how local government spending has grown in the name of small government.

Senior Snapshots 2014: the Albert Nerken School of Engineering
POSTED ON: May 23, 2014
What do a steel bridge, an influenza vaccine manufacturing plant, a material that deflects radar and a cell-stretching machine have in common? They are all final projects by seniors at the Albert Nerken School of Engineering. This, the second in a series of snapshots focusing on members of the class of 2014 at The Cooper Union, looks at five such seniors from each of the four degree-granting departments (civil, chemical, electrical and mechanical). They talk about their projects, as well as how they arrived at The Cooper Union, what their experiences have meant to them and where they are headed next.
Natalia Zawisny, 21, a graduating civil engineering senior, likes bridges … a lot. Maybe it comes from living on Staten Island her whole life. Why else, besides co-captaining the varsity women's basketball team, working part time (at a bridge engineering firm!) and fulfilling all her senior academic requirements, would she have added the additional project of managing the construction of an actual, 18-foot steel bridge?
Natalia, a first-generation Polish-American with a strong connection to her roots, took an early interest in building things. "I always liked putting pieces together, like Legos," she says. That, along with a talent for math, put her on a track that led to The Cooper Union, which she had learned about from a family friend.
The bridge was created as part of the National Student Steel Bridge Competition, an annual event. Natalia decided to give it a go with a group of other Cooper engineering students. "There are 40 pages of rules and specifications that are very precise and worded oddly," she says. "Each year they change the details. You have to build the lightest bridge with the least amount of deflection, or displacement under a load." When a professional manufacturer fell through on building the bridge the Cooper team decided they would do it all in-house. "We were cutting gusset plates," Natalia says, showing off the scratches she still has on her arms. They hauled the pieces out to New Jersey for the regionals but got disqualified on a technicality, as did five out of the seven contestants. "It was very sad. After loading our bridge, based on our minimal deflection, we would have placed in the top three."
Besides the bridge project Natalia had to complete a senior group project. "We are designing a wellness center that would be located on the east side of Manhattan," she says. It is a 13-story building with a gymnasium and a roof garden. A group of four students spends two semesters on their project. "We do an environmental impact assessment, foundation design, structural design, and a cost estimate. We go through the whole project as you would in the real world."
Natalia will, unsurprisingly, be continuing her study of bridges next year when she works towards a master of engineering degree at MIT. "I loved Cooper," Natalia says when asked about her experience. "If you want to do a lot, then you can. It's easy to take charge, like with the steel bridge competition. No one wanted to take control, so I just did." The experience carried over into her other passion, the women's varsity basketball team. She started as a freshman, with no prior experience in the sport. The team was only a year old. This season they had a near perfect 5 and 1 record. "It completely portrays what I was saying about Cooper. The opportunities are there and you just have to go after them and make them your own. I had a great time."
Basketball played a major part in Joshua Mayourian's experience as well. The chemical engineering major spent all four years on the men's team. "It made my experience," he says. "I met a lot of good people. They taught me the ways of the school. They taught me ways of handling my work and balancing my life. I made great friends. They showed me how to take my athletics and apply it to academics and how to apply my academics to athletics."
Josh, a 21-year-old native of the north shore of Long Island, wasn't even going to apply to The Cooper Union. He didn't think his grades were good enough and he wanted to focus on biomedical engineering. However, when a member of the admissions staff brought him on a tour around the institution, Joshua grew confident that a biomedical engineering major wasn't necessary to achieve his goals. "While there is no such major here, there are a lot of opportunities with it. So I reached out to those opportunities and it was exactly what I wanted," Josh says.
His final project, which he completed alongside fellow senior chemical engineering students Ghazal Erfani and Ciera Lowe, dovetailed perfectly with his interests: designing a production plant to manufacture 50 million doses of influenza vaccine per year. "In order to model a plant, you have to break it down to each process," Josh says. "You have the process of making the vaccine and the process of separating the vaccine from other unwanted products. Then you have to account for each amount of energy that is released or taken as well as the amount of products or reactants that are produced. In the end we evaluated the economic and environmental effects, and we found our design to be very financially profitable while also having a very low environmental impact." The team briefly considered pitching the design to real investors, Josh says, but they decided there would be too much red tape.
After graduation, Josh will start an MD/PhD program at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He reflects on how he changed since coming to The Cooper Union. "In high school I didn't think I deserved to get into this school. I felt like I wasn't driven enough. But once I came to Cooper I was surrounded by people who made me work harder, become more mature and realize what I love to do. That experience, combined that with the athletics, make me love this place."
Marcus Michelen, an interdisciplinary engineering (BSE/IDE) major and Henry Kasen, an electrical engineering major, wanted to collaborate on a senior project that would be unique, hardware-based, and "state of the art." So they turned their attention to constructing an advanced material that can make a military aircraft harder to detect. Marcus, 21, from Albertson, Long Island, first planned on applying to The Cooper Union as an architecture student. His interests shifted to engineering but his school choice stayed the same. Henry Kasen, also 21, grew up at the outer edge of Brooklyn, in Mill Basin where he liked studying physics but felt he also wanted to build things. One day, on a family visit to Manhattan during his junior year in high school, he walked by the Foundation Building and looked up. "You should apply," his parents said.
So Henry met Marcus and in their senior year they created their own "metamaterial" out of copper traced in a specific shape on a printed circuit board. "It looks like a block of cheese," Henry says, "but what's special about metamaterials is that they have negative index of refraction." When electromagnetic radiation such as microwaves from a radar device strike a metamaterial, they do not bounce back but instead bend away from the source, Marcus and Henry explain. The two seniors designed their work for use on stealth airplanes. They called the project "Blue Skies."
"The way that we arrived at the project was not from an interest in defense," Marcus says. "We both really like math, and metamaterial-based design is very math heavy. To design such a device, you need to utilize a field of physics called transformation optics, which is heavily reliant on differential geometry." They created a way to make corners less visible to S-band radar, a commonly used kind, they say. "Corners act like resonators for radar," Henry says. "If you aim a radar device at a corner, you get a big response back. If you look up the Nighthawk or any other famous stealth aircraft, you will notice that the bottoms are perfectly flat because of this. Such aircraft are hard to build." So the "Blue Skies" project, theoretically, allows for greater flexibility in stealth aircraft design. But the two have decided not to pursue the project beyond their fully functioning prototype. "We are happy with what we were able to achieve, but both of us are ready to move on," Henry says.
After graduating, Marcus will attend the University of Pennsylvania for a PhD in math and Henry will start working at a telecom company in New Jersey. Both will miss the supportive culture of The Cooper Union. "The students are incredible. The people we get to work with are amazing people. It is an incredibly collaborative atmosphere," Marcus says. Henry adds, "You have very personal relationships with professors. If you want to learn something, you just go up to a professor and ask." The resulting education sometimes puts them in good company, Henry says. "We had an experience presenting our project to Exelis, a defense company, and literally everywhere we went there we were bumping into Cooper alumni."
"Coming to Cooper was actually a career change for me," says Matthew Swift, who at 31 is likely the oldest graduating senior in 2014. Born and raised in Northport, Long Island, he got his first bachelor's degree, in biology, from Cornell in 2004. Now he will have a second one in mechanical engineering. "I was working as a private tutor for high school students. I liked math and science but felt drawn to actually building things and having something tangible. I was looking to getting a master's in engineering but there are so many background requirements that you can't go from biology to getting a master's in engineering. So I applied to mechanical engineering programs, got accepted to Cooper, and was thrilled to come here."
For a final project he found something that bridges his two degrees. A researcher at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine proposed it and funded it. "It's a device for studying how mechanical strain affects the chemistry of cells," Matthew says. "Studies have shown that being stretched affects the way cells behave chemically. So if you are studying a heart medication in a lab on cells in a Petri dish you are failing to capture the fact that in real life those cells are being stretched and compressed." The goal was to improve an existing device that would make it easier to use and allow for a greater number of experiments to be run at the same time. In Matthew's design, a threaded clamp keeps a silicon membrane sealed like a drum skin across a metal ring. A culture can then be attached to the membrane. Up to 144 such samples fit into a frame the size of a dinner tray. This frame gets attached to a motor that carefully bounces the tray up and down over Teflon disks. The disks push up on the membrane, stretching it biaxially (in all directions), along with the cells.
The researcher at Mt. Sinai is "excited" about the advancements, Matthew says. The project is open source, with a website containing all the necessary CAD files and build instructions for anyone wishing to work on the next iteration. "I've become a tinkerer," Matthew says of his time at Cooper. "Studying engineering has given me the confidence that anything can be hacked. Working things don't seem so much like black boxes as they used to." Over the summer he will work at a biotech startup in Brooklyn, though he insists the biology theme in his work is just a coincidence. He has also sent resumes to automotive and aerospace firms.
"I have really liked my Cooper experience," Matthew says. "Everyone is really smart. Cornell is a really good school but I never had the feeling there like, 'Wow, I'm an idiot.' But at Cooper I have sometimes had that experience. The level of talent here is pretty amazing." About his unusual decision, Matthew has no regrets. "It was starting over. I am happy with the choice, but I have had more than enough of being a student at this point."

1958: William Higinbotham developed an analogue computer with vacuum tube at the New York Brookhaven Laboratory. At that time, computers were running slowly, and Willim Higinbotham saw dots bouncing on the screen. It came to mind that he could play a golf game on the computer at that time
1960: William Higinbotham introduces the computer game he developed. This is a straightforward tennis simulation.
1962: Research assistant Steve Russell at the Hingham Institute in Cambridge-Massachusetts developed a spaceship game with a two-player game option and torpedo launching features.
1969: Steve Russell moved to Stanford University, and the game he developed attracted great interest from engineering students here. One of these simple students was Nolan Bushnell.
1971: Bushnell took Russell's game and reorganized it with the thought of "getting computer games into the entertainment industry", thereby creating the very first coin game machine. His name was "Computer Space ".
1971-1981: After the development of this game, Nutting Associates bought the rights with this game for $ 500 and produced another 1500 machines. But this game didn't start to see the expected attention. Fortunately Bushnell was quick to know why. Individuals were not even used to controlling things on the television screen. Busnell started their own game development company with $ 500 of earnings. His name was "Atari ".
Bushnell hired an engineer named Alan Alcorn and asked him to produce the easiest playable computer game. Alcorn came ultimately back with a game title called "Pong ".This game was played by controlling two rectangles that will move up and down, sending the moving point over the middle line and sending it to one side.
However, Bushnell went back to any manufacturer. Bushnell also put his prototype in a corner of a club in California. By the end of the first day, he received a telephone call saying the game was broken. When he went to fix it, he immediately realized what the situation was. The coin was stuck because the thrown part was full !!! So computer games started coming. Atari became the fastest growing company in 1981. But Bushnell had sold the $ 500 company to Warner Communications in 1976 for $ 28 million.
Many new companies started to be established in the first 80s. Epyx, Broderbund, Sierra Online and SSI were established as of this time.
1977: Atari wreaked havoc having its 2600 model. Games like "Burgertime" and "PC Man" were finally in the marketplace to be played at home. The parents were also happy since they saved their children from using coins.
1981: The popularity of gaming machines increased. Apple's, Atari's and TRS-80's were on the shelves, manufacturers started to make many games. In those days, manufacturers were producing tape cassette games which were more useful than diskettes of 5'25 "at the time. Before 90's, cassettes were preferred, but with the speed of 90s, floppy disks were preferred.
1982: "Zork I" for Apple II, "Choplifter" by Broderbund and "Olympic Decathlon" by Microsoft, that was newly established at that time. At that time, this trial of Microsoft in the overall game industry wasn't very successful. That's why Microsoft hasn't entered the gaming industry for a lengthy time. Also in this year, Access Software, Electronic Arts and Lucasfilm Games (Lucas Arts) were founded.
1983: In in 2010, Apple II had to give solution to the new Atari 400 and Atari 800. Electronic Arts produced its first game and announced its game by having an ambitious title in magazines.
1984: Game machines with cartridges suddenly disappeared. – The magazine Computer Gaming World explains this case as follows: "In 1983, these machines climbed to the utmost effective and fell from that summit in 1984." Meanwhile, Commodore and floppy machines received more attention. Exactly why the C-64 or Atari 800 got more attention was exactly like the PCs are now preferred to the consoles. On these new machines, you can do things besides games. The excuse of families is, "Our children can write programs and learn new things. It's not only for the game. " It was.
Meanwhile, IBM produced a small PC. This PC 5'25 "floppy drive included 2 cartridge cavities and an easy DOS version. Unfortunately, in those days, this more complex machine was more expensive than others, and few companies could support it. It is worth mentioning this small PC is extremely disappointed and is based on IBM's door to obtain people's money back.

Firmly established as the most decorated swimmer in Olympic history, Michael Phelps will next travel the world working on his golf game.
Phelps will star in season five of the Golf Channel's "The Haney Project," visiting the finest courses around the globe, fine tuning his swing under the tutelage of Hank Haney, who's coached the likes of Tiger Woods.
"I have traveled the world through swimming, but really haven't had an opportunity to experience the world through my travels," said Phelps in a press release announcing the show. "As I enter this next chapter of my life, I think I will be able to shift my competitiveness to anything I put my mind to and golf is one of the things I want to focus on."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Earlier this week, after winning his 22nd medal, Phelps confirmed for NBC's Bob Costas that he was done with competitive swimming, and had already set his sights on the fairway.
"I've got golf... I am not a very good golfer...and if I have a goal [of improving my golf game], those things are going to keep me motivated, and fire me up, and excite me."
Phelps took up golf in 2008, at the suggestion of his management team, as a way to unwind after the stress of the Beijing Olympics, and was immediately hooked, according to The Baltimore Sun. As of 2010, Phelps' lowest round was a 91.
He has been hosting the annual Michael Phelps Foundation Golf Classic since 2010 to raise money to promote the sport of swimming and healthy lifestyles.
Previous students on "The Haney Project" have included Charles Barkley, Rush Limbaugh, Ray Ramona and Adam Levine of "The Voice" and Maroon 5.

Fairly or unfairly, Star Wars creator George Lucas is often pegged as public enemy number one for a variety of reasons. But for sci-fi author David Brin, there's another baddie: Yoda.
Brin, a NASA consultant and a Dreamcast game scribe, has discussed his distaste for both Lucas' work and the Jedi Master on multiple occasions—such as in Star Wars on Trial. Recently, he told Wired:
I consider Yoda to be just about the most evil character that I've ever seen in the history of literature. I have gotten people into tongue-tied snits unable to name for me one scene in which Yoda is ever helpful to anybody, or says anything that's genuinely wise. "Do or do not, there is no try." Up yours, you horrible little oven mitt! "Try" is how human beings get better. That's how people learn, they try some of their muscles, or their Force mechanism heads in the right direction, that part gets reinforced and rewarded with positive feedback, which you never give. And parts of it get repressed by saying, "No, that you will not do!" It is abhorrent, junior high school Zen. It's cartoon crap.
Tell us what you really think, David! In the rest of the Wired interview, the author also discusses his brand new novel, Existence, among other topics. More in the link below.

Disney's "Frozen" retook the box-office top spot with $20.7 million this weekend, freezing out the horror spinoff "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones."
Paramount's "The Marked Ones" debuted in second place with $18.2 million, a total that includes Thursday night screenings, according to studio estimates Sunday. The film is a stand-alone story spun off from the lucrative, low-budget horror franchise "Paranormal Activity," the fifth of which will be released in October.
But it wasn't able to overcome Disney's animated "Frozen," which has been a hit for family audiences for the last seven weeks. It has now surpassed $600 million worldwide, making it the second highest Disney Animation release, behind "The Lion King." It will soon pass that film's $312 million domestic haul, too.
It's extremely rare for a film to lead the box office in its seventh weekend, a feat accomplished by the likes of "Avatar" and, to go further back, "Legends of the Fall." It's rarer still for a film to retake the box-office lead so late in its theatrical run. The last movie to do so was Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" in 2004, according to box-office tracker Rentrak.
Another hold-over, Warner Bros.' "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," came in third with $16.3 million in its fourth week of release after narrowly topping the busy Christmas weekend box office. Like "Frozen," Peter Jackson's second installment of his "Hobbit" trilogy has benefitted from the lengthy holiday moviegoing season. Its domestic cumulative total is $229.6 million.
The snow and icy temperatures battering the Midwest and Northeast likely tempered the weekend's box-office business.
"Everyone probably suffered a little bit from the weather," said Don Harris, head of domestic distribution for Paramount. "It looked like no matter what movie it was, it was half a million to a $1 million less on Friday and Saturday than you would have been expecting, just based on what the norms were."
"The Marked Ones," made for just $5 million and starring a largely Hispanic cast, was the lone new wide release in the marketplace, as the large batch of late December releases looked to separate themselves from the pack.
Successes include Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" ($63.3 million in two weeks for Paramount), David O. Russell's acclaimed "American Hustle" ($88.7 million in four weeks for Sony) and the Will Ferrell sequel "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," (well past $100 million domestically in three weeks for Paramount).
Having a harder time finding audiences are "47 Ronin" starring Keanu Reeves (a $175 million bomb for Universal earning $32.6 million in two weeks), the Robert De Niro-Sylvester Stallone boxing comedy "Grudge Match" ($24.9 million in two weeks for Warner Bros.) and Ben Stiller's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" ($45.7 million in two weeks for 20th Century Fox).
"It's like traffic on the freeway," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak. "At this level of competition, there are always going to be casualties."
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday:
1. "Frozen," $20.7 million.
2. "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones," $18.2 million.
3. "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," $16.3 million.
4. "The Wolf of Wall Street," $13.4 million.
5. "American Hustle," $13.2 million.
6. "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," $11.1 million.
7. "Saving Mr. Banks," $9.1 million.
8. "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," $8.2 million.
9. "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," $7.4 million.
10. "Grudge Match," $5.4 million.

Melvin shuffles A's rotation due to rainout
OAKLAND -- With two postponed contests and a doubleheader in the first five days of the 2014 campaign, A's manager Bob Melvin and his starters have been playing everything by ear.
Following Friday's postponement, Melvin moved scheduled starter Dan Straily back to Saturday, setting him up to face Mariners ace Felix Hernandez. In turn, Saturday's scheduled starter Tommy Milone will be skipped through his first time in the rotation, as Melvin will go with Opening Day starter Sonny Gray for Sunday's contest.
Since starting pitchers are creatures of habit, Melvin said the early-season changes have certainly presented a challenge for the manager and his pitching staff. But the optimistic Melvin also found a silver lining in Friday's postponement.
"That's the biggest thing, is that it gets you out of the routine that's important to you early in the season," Melvin said. "You play the cards you're dealt. Yesterday, I had a bullpen that probably wasn't anything close to full, and getting them a full day off for today, we'll be in a lot better shape."
Wednesday's doubleheader forced Triple-A righty Josh Lindblom into an emergency start for the A's, and Milone will be skipped, but things should settle down next week. Following Minnesota's home opener on Monday, the A's and Twins will have a rare Tuesday off before Oakland will wrap up the nine-game road trip with eight games in eight days.
Melvin said Oakland planned on giving Milone work this weekend in an effort to stay sharp, but the team didn't have any specifics to share. Later on Saturday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Milone would travel to Arizona to face Minor Leaguers on Sunday before rejoining the team in Minnesota.

The plain-speaking Arrigo Sacchi has lost nothing of his bluntness over the years. Now 66, the so-called Prophet of Fusignano is still regarded as one of the finest coaches Italy has ever produced.
His influence on the game there is beyond question, with a host of former charges, among them Carlo Ancelotti, Frank Rijkaard, Marco van Basten, Roberto Donadoni, Ruud Gullit and Mauro Tassotti, having all successfully followed him into coaching.
Now working as a youth-team co-ordinator in Italy, describing himself as a "coach of coaches", the former AC Milan boss has never missed an opportunity to express his opinion on players, managers and all matters football. As he himself says: "It's the one and only thing I'm qualified to talk about."
FIFA.com underlines that point by bringing together some of his most colourful observations on the game.
"I stopped playing football when I was 19 because I soon realised that I'd never be a champion."
On his decision to hang up his boots at an early age.
"I never realised that to be a jockey you had to be a horse first."
Dismissing the idea that only former players make successful coaches.
"In this country you've got clubs where coaches are coming and going all the time. They're not teams but Towers of Babel where you've got all these different people involved. And the upshot of all that is lots of totally different results."
On Serie A coaches receiving their coaching badges too soon.
"The accent today is on results, not on how well you work. You can't build a skyscraper in a day, but you can build a shack."
On one of his bugbears – coaches not being given enough time.
"When I arrived at Milan, Berlusconi said to me, 'I'm giving you three years', to which I said, 'That's too long'. That's because in this game people never give you enough time to achieve success."
As it turned out, Sacchi needed just one year to win Serie A, and two to claim the European Cup.
"God gave him a surfeit of talent and he hasn't made use of it. I can guarantee he'd have been training if he'd been my player. I'm not interested in a player who doesn't work, even if he's the best. I want players who train with passion, discipline and motivation."
On Ronaldinho during his time at AC Milan.
"I think Mario Balotelli needs to mature and do it quickly. God has given him great skills as a footballer but he's frittering it all away with his behaviour."
Sacchi expresses similar views on a different player, some years later.
"Barcelona made a mistake in buying [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic. He's a loner. I said to Pep Guardiola at the time that he's just bought the best solo artist in the world."
On the importance of the team over individual talent.
"Juventus did a great piece of business in bringing in [Andrea] Pirlo, especially on a free. Pirlo is top class."
Sacchi's tribute to a quintessential team man.
"The only way you can build a side is by getting players who speak the same language and can play a team game. You can't achieve anything on your own, and if you do, it doesn't last long. I often quote what Michelangelo said: 'The spirit guides the hand.'"
On his philosophy.
"My Milan team was brilliant because it was full of great professionals who wanted to be together and have fun."
On his tenure at AC Milan, where his star players worked for each other.
"That Catalan team is not really a team. It's a culture. The style, the harmony, the talented youngsters: everyone's working towards the same idea."
On Guardiola's Barcelona, often compared to Sacchi's Milan.
"Barcelona's unfair advantage is their style of play. I heard the same thing at Milan. We didn't run more than the others. We just ran better."
**On the criticism levelled at both sides.
"It's only in Italy that you can get away with saying things like that. There's no way you can beat your opponent by playing worse than them."
On the result-comes-first culture.
"Italian football is the football of fear: two players attack, ten defend, the youngsters stay on the bench and no one comes to the stadiums anymore."
On the Italian game of the 2000s.
"I watched Milan play last night and I thought some of the players were as old as me."
Sacchi gives his view on an AC Milan game this season.
"The other day I was watching an U-15s match and the defenders did nothing else but mark their opposing forward. They're already specialists but they aren't making the most of the game. That's not fun – it's suffering. That's not football. If you do the same thing all the time, then you're bound to get good at it. But is football really just about doing one thing?"
On his aim to change attitudes in the youth game.
"Florentino Perez loved quality players. I asked him one day what his ideal team would be. He had [David] Beckham at right-back and [Zinedine] Zidane at centre-half because he had a whole heap of strikers and midfielders in there. Florentino is a great man and his period in office here will go down in history."
On his spell as director of football at Real Madrid.
"He's a maestro who has his own style. He needs to aim for quality, not the superficial and what comes easy. I don't go to the bakery because of the baker but because of the bread. A maestro is someone who demands the best, who demands rigour."
Sacchi's definition of a coach.

Saturday's rain creates problems across southeastern Wisconsin
From flooded neighborhoods to stalled out cars, Saturday's storms left behind quite a mess for some parts of southeastern Wisconsin.
WISN 12 News Reporter Max Seigle took a look at the impact in Milwaukee County.
Flash flooding pounded part of Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood, near Tiffany Schuyler's front door.
"This is the worst that it's been since I've lived here," Schuyler said. "Right now, I would say it's at least six or seven inches, maybe even a little deeper than that in some spots."
Schuyler said that this sudden flooding actually wasn't a surprise. She and other Holt Avenue neighbors said this often happens when this kind of rainfall strikes.
WISN 12 News found Neighbor Tom Sujecki trying to do his part to drain the water.
"You know this my driveway, that's my driveway, this road's my driveway, so I got to take care of it," Sujecki said.
By nightfall Saturday, the rain had returned but the Bay View area around Chase Avenue and Holt Avenue was back in the clear for drivers. This was one of several trouble spots hit by Saturday's storms.
"Oh it was up to my knees, it was pretty deep," Elaina LaMachhia said.
Elaina LaMacchia told WISN 12 News that she was driving with her mother in Waukesha Saturday when their car stalled out in the flooding.
"We called our Dad and he had to come and save us," LaMacchia said.
Elsewhere in West Allis, heavy rains pelted cars along Interstate 94.

Wife of Timothy Nance charged with intentional homicide
Nance shot twice in the head, body dumped in Milwaukee woods
Fond du Lac police said the wife of 37-year-old Timothy Nance is being charged with causing his death.
VIDEO: Watch the Fond du Lac news conference
Representatives of the District Attorney's Office said Tuesday that Eve Nance first told police that her husband was missing on Nov. 5.
By Nov. 20, investigators believed she was involved in his death.
Eve Nance and her sister, Tina Ewell, were taken into custody on Nov. 20, accused of concealing a corpse.
VIDEO: Colleen Henry's report on Fond du Lac homicide
Investigators said once in custody, Eve Nance told police that she and Timothy were involved in an argument where a gun had gone off.
Police said Eve Nance had twice pulled a gun on her husband in fights over his extramarital affairs. Once in custody, she told police that Nance had pulled a gun on her in their home Nov. 1. She said they struggled, and the gun fired twice, striking him.
Police issued an advisory to deer hunters to be on the lookout for Nance's body, as Eve Nance had not disclosed the location of her husband's body.
On Nov. 26, Eve Nance finally agreed to lead investigators to the location of Timothy's body.
Nance's body was found in a wooded area in the 6200 block of North 101st Street in Milwaukee on Nov. 27. based on information given by Eve Nance.
The autopsy showed that Nance was shot twice in the head. Investigators said Eve Nance disposed of the gun "somewhere along Highway 41," but did not specify where.
On Monday, the District Attorney's Office released Tina Ewell and dismissed all charges against her.
Authorities said they believe that public safety is not at risk in this case, but did not comment on whether they were seeking additional people in the case.
"She'll go to court, and I'll be there," said Rodney Emerson, a friend of Timothy Nance. "She'll go to prison. I'll be watching the bus taking here there."
Eve Nance is scheduled to make an appearance in court Wednesday at 11 a.m.

Welcome to Anger Management Guide
Anchorage Anger Management Article

The Benefits of Joining An Anger Management Groupfrom: Jennifer Morton - Guest Writer
Joining an anger management group may well seem to be new to you, or alternatively, it might seem to be a most unusual idea, but it is the case that anger can be dealt with several ways, such as joining anger management workshops, and also reading self-help guides and techniques.
So joining and anger management group is just one option, but after you have read this article, you might possibly find that joining an anger management group is your primary choice after all.
Here are some of the benefits of joining anger management groups:-
- A better understanding of the meaning of anger!
Anger management groups aim to discuss the meaning of anger, and since anger can surface in lots of different ways (actions or physical responses), knowing what anger really is, could create a much better understanding of it.
Once you know the meaning of anger, you will then know why people feel anger, or indeed what exactly causes you to become angry.
- Learn the proper responses to anger!
Once you know the root cause of something, you will know how to work your way out of it, and the same holds true with anger. Identifying the root causes of anger is one thing however, learning how to keep you out from the negative effects of it is quite another. The anger management group will provide you with techniques to enable you to learn how to respond the moment you get do angry.
- Learn how to judge things better outside your emotions!
Anger is an emotional response to certain things, just as it is with joy or excitement. and most certainly with love. If you are able to understand your responses to anger better, and also to the root cause of the anger, you will be able to detach yourself fom the negative side effects of it, and be able to make better and healthier judgments about the situation.
Also since anger is triggered by your emotions, knowing how to control it, will give you a much greater chance to respond to it in a sensible and controlled fashion.
- Eliminate frequent conflicts with other people!
Before you reach the stage of joining an anger management group, you will surely have experienced conflicts with your parents, teachers, siblings, co-workers, and friends. You might have noticed that these people choose to stay away from you (it is a well known fact that people who get angry easily, are avoided by others), but undergoing an anger management program should eliminate this situation for good.
Two reasons for this are that you are actually integrating yourself with others, and at the same time, you are learning how to better control your anger.
So therefore two things come into play in this situation, one being the internal factor, and the other the external factor.
- Improve your communication skills with other people!
Since you are sharing your anger with a group of other people with the same problems, you will find that you frequently share similar emotions with one another, and sinse this is the case, your communication skills with other people, will be greatly improved.
- Increase your personal growth and productivity!
Gaining the right communication skills will give you the ability to express your ideas to another people more easily. If you are in a team working on something jointly, focusing on the task, instead of becoming angry, whenever will provide the team with a lot of benefits.
You see, once you learn to understand the values of anger management, the negative side effects can be reversed. It is like the domino effect, namely that once you tap the first piece in the line, the rest will follow suit.
So joining an anger management group will successfully give you the first movement on that single domino piece, and very soon, your anger management issues will be gone for good.

France is the latest nation to voice opposition against genetically modified crops, with GM maize unlikely to hit French fields next year despite the end of a ban Monsanto maize.
The news comes as evidence compiles that French legislatures will launch new restrictions regarding the use of Monsanto's 810 maize on French soil.
It all began when France's State Council overturned the ban on Monsanto's GMO maize stating that it was not sufficiently justified.
The organization then attempted to justify its decision by saying that the government did not give enough evidence to justify a ban.
Under law, an EU country can only unilaterally ban a genetically modified strain if it can scientifically prove it is a risk to the health of humans, animals, or the integrity of the environment.
Interestingly the ban was lifted under these circumstances after numerous reports have surfaced highlighting the many ways in which GMO crops and biopesticides are thoroughly damaging the environment.
This is why GMO crops are continually being banned around the world in a display of defiance against biotech giant Monsanto.
