New Office Tower to Come to Downtown Minneapolis
Developer Ryan Companies creates long-term plan for land at Eigth and Marquette
"I think office continues to remain fairly soft. There isn't any real immediate demand or market to support that kind of development," Menke said. Menke noted that Opus is also interested in future downtown residential projects; Opus was part of the team that developed Grant Park and The Carlyle. Houston-based Hines Interests is another major player in the downtown Minneapolis market. "We are a developer, so we're always interested in looking at opportunities to put together a new development. As to the when, that's probably anybody's guess at this point in time," said Bob Pfefferle, marketing manager with the local office of Hines. "I think we're a ways off yet before we get to that point that economics justify new construction."
Hines is developing Twinsville, a project that will be anchored by a new baseball stadium and could include potential office development.
"We are and have seen some unsolicited interest from some suburban users around the Twinsville site as part of a mixed-use development," Pfefferle said. "That's relatively new. " Pfefferle said the inquiries came from "larger users."
Hines is also part of the development team at The Nicollet, a planned downtown condo tower. There's been some speculation in downtown real estate circles that the project could go commercial instead, but Pfefferle dismisses those rumors. "We're still committed to making that a residential project," he said.

A Sona main Riot employee?
Can I hug you?
lead a sona through the lane bushes. add a rengar+adc
Also bring a pink ward and ruin sonas day, if she can't see into your bush she has a hard time harassing you without fear of death unless you lose your brush.
Death stops her.
Or if you are playing her, just press S.
Leona, yes. Leona is kryptonite to Sona.
Taric, no. She can stay out of range of his stun, and if her AD gets stunned she switches auras to W and hits the enemy AD with -20% damage. Taric's AD won't be able to get a kill easily and Sona has a much stronger lategame.
Zyra does better than Taric, but isn't a hard counter. At worst, she restricts the area from which Sona can zone enemy AD. I don't fear Zyras as much as Leona.
Dryad Soraka
pretty much anything since her health and armor are sh!!!t

I made these for a party last weekend and they were amazing! Everyone loved them! That being said, I do have to say that instead of the peppermint extract I used almond extract (only because we were serving peppermint cupcakes & didn't want two things that were peppermint). Next time I make them I will use the peppermint, but I loved them w/the almond. They were super moist, too! A great recipe!

Not sure what happened but these flopped. Had terrible time removing from foil. Not impressed with flavor or texture.
ksuelove Posted: 12/18/12
There is way too much sugar in this recipe. They are a bit too sweet for my taste. If I make these again I will reduce the amount of sugar to maybe 1 1/2 cups.
DannaMoudy Posted: 12/15/12
I made these just as directed (except I sprayed PAM on the foil). I took them to work and they were a BIG hit. Will definitely make these again!!
CW1979 Posted: 01/04/13
These were ah-mazing and had friends say they were the best brownies ever. I liked the peppermint flavor, which was mild, but it would be great without. Definitely will make again.
Ckohls Posted: 01/01/13
Made these for 3 different occasions this holiday season. They are fantastic. Didn't modify recipe at all. Excellent! Moist and tasty!
PinkLadyLA Posted: 12/18/12
These are so delicious and easy to make!
nanaluvs2cook Posted: 02/13/13
These are quite a show stopper! I made them for a Valentines treat. They were very moist, tasty, and so colorful for Valetines.
Pudding1980 Posted: 11/30/13
These were easy to make and looked very pretty and festive. The peppermint flavour was really mild so if I made them again I would omit some of the vanilla extract for more peppermint.

* = Required Fields
SOCHI, Russia (BP) -- Members of the Earl Brackin Band sing and strum their traditional bluegrass instruments, rendering a soul-stirring version of "I'll Fly Away," as dozens of Olympics fans gather to listen, some of whom capture the music on their smartphones.
Earl Brackin, minister of worship at Church on the Hill in Dalton, Ga., said prior to leaving for Russia, "In Sochi, we'll be like troubadours. Since bluegrass bands don't need electricity, we can set up and play anywhere -- street corner, open market, hotel, café, anywhere there is space for us to stand."
Listeners, whether in delight or intrigue, break into broken conversations with each other while Brackin and his band play. Cultural barriers break down as smiles segue to new friendships, and language no longer seems to be a problem, replaced with gestures and pantomime vocabularies.
Russian soldiers and police officers are among those enjoying the bluegrass music, and some get impromptu lessons about the banjo from band members.
"An unexpected blessing," Brackin says, "[is] you see pictures of people from other countries, but to rub shoulders with them, for them to give you a hug, it really changes perspective.
"And I've been struck how much we are alike -- you know God loves me as much as He loves them."
Brackin sees the Olympics as an opportunity to share music that bridges cultures and languages and offers open hearts an opportunity to encounter the Gospel message.
"There's an internal feeling that I was made to do this, and when I see people react with joy to the music, obviously there's a sense that I am doing what God has called me to do," Brackin says.
After finishing their mini-concerts, Brackin and his band pack up their instruments. New friends walk off humming gospel and bluegrass tunes as Olympics events continue around them.
Brackin's band is playing smaller concerts throughout the Olympics venues, and he likes how they provide more access to pedestrians walking to their events than at a large concert, "and that's why we are here."
"One special feature of our mini-concerts involves Olympic pins," Brackin notes. "Since pin trading is a popular activity, we have specially designed pins to give away at each of our impromptu gigs. Each pin will be used to share the Gospel and the hope found in Christ."
Events in Sochi have included performances at Mayor's Plaza and USA House in Olympic Park. Their performance on a local train brought cheers of delight from fellow passengers. The band also has performed at larger venues while in Russia. Before arriving in Sochi, they shared their love of bluegrass and the Gospel at a concert in Moscow.
Prayer request
Response to the Earl Brackin Band in Sochi has opened doors never thought possible. Pray for them and for the outreach of the larger Engage Sochi team for a bold witness, new relationships and more opportunities to share God's love for Sochi and the world.

BroadSoft actively promoted the adoption of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) as the standard in voice communication. BroadSoft was the first, in a partnership with Siemens, to test SIP interoperability, and, through BroadWorks, delivers on the promise of open standards in voice communications. The SIP compliance assures that a SIP trunk, delivered with BroadWorks, will work with a compliant service provider and IP PBX, without requiring six months of interoperability testing. BroadSoft's involvement in the SIPconnect standardization with the SIP Forum helps service providers continue to deliver leading-edge services demanded by small and medium businesses and large enterprises.
The SIP Forum is an organization with members from the leading IP communications companies, whose mission is to advance the adoption of products and services based on SIP. The forum advances product interoperability by holding live interoperability test events and by defining and creating operational compliance tests. It also creates white papers, implementation guides, recommendations, and other technical documents dealing with issues that fall outside the scope of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) or other relevant standards bodies.
BroadWorks Business Connectivity is SIPconnect™ compliant. SIPconnect compliance eliminates the typical six months of integrated testing with SIP compliant service providers and IP PBXs. BroadSoft's involvement in the SIPconnect standardization through the SIP Forum helps service providers continue to deliver leading-edge services demanded by small and medium businesses and large enterprises.

Perhaps this isn't getting enough coverage but New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan had some harsh words for Quarterback Mark Sanchez during Sunday night's loss to the New England Patriots.
Calling Sanchez' timeout with 17 seconds left on the playclock, "the stupidest thing in football history," it's more than obvious who Ryan was directed it to. It's no secret that Ryan, a defensive-minded coach, believes that he can win a super bowl with a great defense and a decent Quarterback who won't make bad decisions.
Here's the Video link of the timeout, including Ryan's reaction.

AMD Is a Phoenix and Not a Zombie, Probably
Nihar is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
A phoenix regenerates from its ashes, and the myths have a new young phoenix born or a phoenix that is just younger and in its prime. A zombie is just a moving carcass. It is possible for companies to be one of these types of resurrections. The phoenix reinvents itself as a more powerful company able to compete and survive in the current era. A zombie eats the brains of others, but nothing will bring it back to top condition so it will leave a wave of destruction in its path.
Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) has come out of its lows in a big way. It seemed like I blinked and the stock is on its way to doubling. I am sure that the entire market is not on board with AMD's resurgence, but it happened a lot faster than I thought it would. I figured it would actually take a solid earnings report to rouse AMD. The run that started with console gaming has taken a life on its own, and console gaming is no longer the prime mover. There are lots of things regarding AMD's strategy and expectations regarding the next earnings report that are helping to drive the recent run.
Jaguar core
AMD's Jaguar core is in the limelight right now. This is an x86-based core that is low power and has a high enough performance to sweep the next generation consoles. Jaguar can be considered a shot at Intel's (NASDAQ: INTC) Atom cores and a mild rebuke of ARM Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMH). At the same time, AMD is designing a SoC utilizing ARM's next cortex core.
Cores based on x86 are not supposed to have high performance and low power requirements, because that is ARM's strength. ARM was always a bit to expensive even if the future looks great. Licensing the instruction set was a limited business at best, and it seemed like ARM will have diminishing returns, proportionally, as the mobile market gets bigger and bigger.
At the same time, it is facing threats from Intel, and now AMD, trying to make x86 processors that can fill similar roles. If you are wondering why consoles that have a connection to the power grid need to be low power, they do not. The PlayStation 4 will have a special 8 core processor, while standard Jaguar processors have up to 4 cores.
Resurgence of x86
The advent of low-power x86 processors is important for all the companies involved. The x86 architecture is Intel's mainstay. A low power core could help it break into the new computing segment that is opening up between tablets and notebooks. Tablets are no longer the luxury novelty, and their widespread uptake has created the need for better tablets that allow for more flexibility. A locked down tablet that cannot perform the tasks the user requires it not going to work. Tablets need to be able to run all kinds of applications, including ones not designed for tablets, and offer a high level of productivity.
When buying my Nexus tablet, I looked at the new Windows 8 tablets. As much as people dislike Windows, the Surface tablet is beautiful. I loved the cover/keyboard, and the general look and feel of it. The Windows RT is just a sideshow and will not be the deciding factor. The surface is the first full-productivity oriented tablet, and there is no barrier between a notebook and tablet.
What this means for Intel is that there are a class of tablets coming that will need x86 processors. AMD is looking to get there first with a great low-power core, and Jaguar is better than the Atom. It needs to be first, because it needs to carve out its share before Intel comes in and wins the rest.
Intel will have its own alternative, and it will be the majority in that segment of the market. This is why AMD's strategy of going after non-traditional spots like consoles is a good one. It might be lower margin, but AMD needs to stop fighting Intel head-to-head because it cannot win. Instead, it needs to focus on itself and win all the business it can, and avoid Intel when there is little hope of coming out with a profit.
Previous winner has most to lose
This means that ARM will be losing a portion of the tablets that it currently has through licensees or customers incorporating their cores. For any tablet where usability and functionality outweigh the importance of pure portability, an x86 core will be better. ARM's dominance in phones will continue, but it might no longer be a part of the entire mobile and tablet space. Tablets and phablets can move to x86 processors in order to offer more flexibility and features, with the latter being less likely.
This change would normally not be a problem since smartphones are a growing field as well. However, ARM is valued very highly, and losing an entire segment of the market to x86 would weigh on the valuation. It has a PE of 84, but competition is heating up and the needs of the market are changing. I was hesitant at a PE in the 70s, but still thought it might be worth grabbing some since ARM was so important to mobile. Now, I think ARM should be avoided as the market changes, and after everything is done moving you can re-evaluate.
AMD has massive potential in the future, but it is still a speculative investment. That requires a more controlled position that is monitored closely. The next earnings report will be very important as positive results are expected. Having a miss could do a lot of damage to the stock. Intel is paving its own way, and it could gain traction in anything it jumps into. The company is not in critical condition, and has the power to make a big splash in anything they do.
It is still worth consideration, though now that the price has gone up a bit, I would actually go smaller in however I decided to trade it. ARM is a good company, but a bad stock in my opinion. I think it is just flying too high, and with new competition in certain parts, the stock looks weak even if the company is fine.
When it comes to dominating markets, it doesn't get much better than Intel's position in the PC microprocessor arena. However, that market is maturing, and Intel finds itself in a precarious situation longer term if it doesn't find new avenues for growth.

HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access), a 3G cell phone network, is meant to be the high speed replacement for GSM / EDGE. But maybe you didn't realize just how high speed.
Last month Cingular launched its implementation of a HSDPA network known as BroadbandConnect. However, their initial implementation has devices delivering 400 – 700 kps.
However, Samsung will present a HSDPA phone at CES in Las Vegas that will let you surf the web at 3.6 Mbps. That's a 4MB file in less than 10 seconds! On a cell phone! That's comparable and in some cases faster than land-based broadband DSL and Cable Modem solutions.
Samsung's phone is equipped with Qualcomm's Mobile Station Modem™ (MSM™) MSM6280™ solution.

At the age of 33, the relationship that I have had for the majority of my adult life, has failed. It wouldn't be so tragic if it weren't for the fact that we just had a child. With 17 months of breast feeding over and an increasingly independent toddler, I did what all woman my age would do when faced with a situation like this: I became a Nympho.
Wait…I guess not all woman do that… but remember I am not every woman. I have always been deeply in touch with the dark side of sexuality. I also won't be a hardcore nympho, or really even a nympho per se. After being in a 13 year relationship with the same man, I had lost that connection to what excited me…in fact I probably don't even know what really COULD excite me. Although my sex life was far from horrible, I was still acutely aware that there was much more to sex, and that I wanted to experience much of what it had to offer.
As a stay-at home Mom, who is extremely involved in her son's play, education and development, this would be a daunting task. His father has essentially become a blip on the radar screen of parenting and was not helping me financially at all. I was depending on school loans, the last of some investment money I made as a kid and help from my Mother. In addition to being a full-time cooking, cleaning and entertaining Momma, I also am trying to obtain my Bachelor's degree simultaneously. I decided to go back to school months before I became pregnant with my son. Instead of using him as an excuse to quit school, he had only become the very reason I would stay it to the end. Free time is a luxury I can't afford; rare, and precious.
So, I have made the choice to dedicate every other Saturday night to my quest for sexual autonomy. I would keep my home and family life completely separate and use the nights he visited his Grandma as a night to find what I was looking for beyond the day to day. If the lines between fantasy and reality became blurred at any point or on any level, my life as a part time quasi-nympho will cease.
Well, there you have it. The full back-story. I am asking for any reader who has stumble upon this blog to read with an open mind . In reality, I am just like you. I have just gotten the guts necessary to demand the right to my own sexual expression. Join me as I take this journey.

The Hyattsville Volunteer Fire Department is cutting it close to a $5,000 fundraising goal for the St. Baldrick's Foundation, a charity which funds childhood cancer research.
They are part of a group of fundraisers honoring former Bel Air volunteer fire fighter Drew Eilbacher, who died last year after being diagnosed at age 18 with an Astrocytoma Glioa Grade II brain tumor. Eilbacher completed his degree, a double major in Animal Science and Psychology, but succumbed last July.
So far, 23 participants have raised a total of $4,630 for the distinction of getting their heads shaved in solidarity with the Eilbacher family and others affected by childhood cancer. The shaving will take place at Looney's Pub in College Park on Saturday, March 10.
Fundraising leader for the Hyattsville Volunteer Fire Department team is Matthew Parrish, who has raised $800 so far. He is followed by Patrick C. Williams and Zac Tchopev, who have each raised $630.
You can help the team reach their goal by donating via this link.

The Falcons were eventually able to make too many big plays while the Cowboys offense couldn't. Lack of execution on third downs, continued dropped passes and untimely penalties have made this Dallas squad what they are, a 3-5 team.
When Garrett strives for balance, there is none. This offense runs the ball in spurts or not at all consistently enough. When you can't get movement at the point of attack and your offense is going nowhere, it puts entirely too much pressure on the quarterback to have to make plays. And when he struggles, then the problems are worse.
I really believed that coming into this night there would be opportunities to take some shots on these Atlanta cornerbacks and make it a physical battle. But, it was the Falcons receivers who turned the game into a physical one, which was just one of the problems for the Dallas defense.
The Cowboys allowed Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan to attack the middle of the field, exposing their safeties. Then, when
From my press box seat, linebacker
I am sure when I study the tape from this game there will be others that played well, but for the most part not nearly enough. It seems like I've said this before after previous Cowboys games: One team was able to make plays and the other wasn't, which resulted in another loss for Dallas.

Swimming drops dual at Air Force
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – In the second dual of the season the Northern Colorado swimming & diving team came up a little short against the Air Force Academy, losing 188-107.
"Despite our great swims, Air Force simply outswam us," said Head Coach Kelly McClanahan. "I felt the girls put up a good fight and swimming at 7200 feet can be tough, but we simply didn't have enough tonight to pull out the win. We have a lot to work on when we get back in the pool on Monday."
Sophomore diver Sarah Moldenhauer continued her hot streak by winning both the one- and three-meter boards. She scored 255.23 points for first place in the three-meter and 235.57 in the one-meter. She was the only Bear to win any of the 16 events on the evening.
"Moldenhauer continues her winning streak with diving, which is good preparation for her and for conference," said McClanahan. "She'll be back at this venue for the conference championship, so diving her now and at Christmas break should more than put her over the edge of her competition."
In the 1000 freestyle, the Bears swept spots 2-4. Freshman Gina Cernohous timed an 11:02.16, while junior Tatum Boehnke touched the wall in 11:10.16 for third and sophomore Alicen Fair swam an 11:16.46 for fourth.
Sophomore Gina Riggle finished second in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:06.72, while fellow sophomore Courtney Van Oost timed a 2:10.27 for second place in the 200 back. Riggle and sophomore Renee Stephens finished back-to-back in the 200 breast, 2:28.04 and 2:33.09 for second and third, respectively.
The AquaBears also were second-fifth in the 500 free. Freshman Casey Wolter timed a 5:24.17, while Fair was third in 5:28.13, Boehnke placed fourth in 5:29.73 and freshman Kellie Burke rounded it out with her time of 5:32.78.
Van Oost came back to finish second in the 100 fly in 1:01.32, while Riggle clocked a 1:02.26 for third. Freshman Brittany Walters (1:03.99) and sophomore Christina Gregory (1:04.44) also were fourth and fifth.
Freshman Hannah Abelein touched the wall in 2:15.27 for second place in the 200 IM, while sophomore Jamie Byrne was right behind her in 2:16.13 and Cernohous took fourth in 2:17.66.
The quartet of freshman Jessica Reed-Baum, senior Sammy Leonard, Boese and junior Kira Alger finished the night second in 3:40.01.
"We had some great swims tonight," said McClanahan. "Almost every girl finished under her season best time – once converted from 7200 feet. Gina (Riggle) was just off the 100 breaststroke record again, Hannah Halstrom was well under her season-best and very close to her career-best 200 fly time. The 1000s were excellent swims and Brenna and Jessica continue to impress me as freshmen."
The Bears return to the pool on Monday in preparation for the dual against New Mexico on Oct. 27.

Just an update -
There are some nice features being previewed for the .47 release of Inkscape. Worth mentioning in this thread are "spiro curves" and freehand shapes (kind of like stroke brushes). Here is a post with a video demoing these. Should make tapered rivers trivial in Inkscape (and spiro curves seem way easier than beziers for making rivers...)

Be thankful. You won't be working with a complete idiot!
Thank you for you critique, any practical comments are always useful, and appreciated, but the model was trying to tell me that extra light is always needed and not a critique of my work, to quote is original responce to a casting I had up "Hi there
I am interested for your casting.
i love your work !! they are stunning
I would like to collaborate with you for your this project. "
He only had problems when I said I don't normaly use extra lighting apart from reflectors to get the results he liked on my port.
don't you want to have your clients and talent educated on what you do??
don't you think an educated client is a stronger one, a more valuable one??
knowledge is power and if you can help educate you have the power.
Your about the fourth person mentioning education so can you please enlighten us all about how you would educate them with this power in knowledge ?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that Basic Photography would have the photographer learn how to take a decent picture in natural light before ever introducing artificial lighting.
Define best. Because if you're trying to stop the motion of a bullet passing through a balloon, natural light's not going to cut it.
That is not the stupidest thing I've ever heard, but...
I have been shooting in the studio for over 10 years, and I've only done two shoots where I used indoor lighting to imitate natural light.
And this, some people just don't know. maybe they just needed to be educated. Maybe they worked with someone who didn't use light and they didn't like the way their photos ended up.
Now this I can't fathom, he looks and likes your port and then when he knows your method tries to dismiss it!
Normally I'd try to educate by showing them how I achieved certain looks in my port or showing work from other photographers, but this guy does sound like a 'studio slave'.
Would be interesting to know who it is since I know of a few models in the East Midlands.
I disagree, light is light, and the best light is whatever is "right" for the situation. I shoot both indoors and outdoors, the majority of my outdoor shots in my port use a mixture of natural AND flash light.
He is not from the East Midlands, he is from Birmingham, but not gonna name and shame, I dont thnk thats the way forward.
I havnt treated him like an idiot, I have explained to him over several messages and pointed out the whys and reasons, but he dosnt believe you can get a good shot without artificial light. And wont accept what I am telling him.
Runs on par with a casting of another site ' bikini calender on the sea of tranquility'.... a lot of models applied.
Sometimes you have to be able to show them.
Could you show me as I'm a bit thick...doh.
Person No 5.
Perhaps you should tell him your avatar picture, a pretty important first impression, intentionally has dark eye sockets and supplemental lighting would not have helped at all. But I guess you know what you are doing. I think his mind is made up.
As I have told him, and mentioned it on my profile, My avatar is not a model, it is a snap of me, used just to introduce myself, so people can see who I am.
Then why are you pursuing it. You can lead a horse to water.... and all that.
I am not pursuing it anymore, after I tried to inform him on the use of natural light, and he still wouldnt take what I said, I told him I think its best we dont work together and cancelled the shoot.
Um.....yea, later playa. What an ignorant moron, lol. You did the right thing by avoiding that.
Pure natural light - no reflectors, nothing but open shade:

Double mastectomy doesn't boost survival for mostSeptember 2, 2014 4:26 pm | by Lindsey Tanner - AP Medical Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments
Removing both breasts to treat cancer affecting only one side doesn't boost survival chances for most women, compared with surgery that removes just the tumor, a large study suggests. The results raise concerns about riskier, potentially unnecessary operations that increasing numbers of women are choosing.
Sorting cells with sound wavesAugust 26, 2014 7:36 am | by Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | Videos | Comments
Researchers have devised a new way to separate cells by exposing them to sound waves as they flow through a tiny channel.

The biomarker, a protein called STAT3, provides a smart target for new therapeutics designed to treat this often deadly cancer.
New way to treat solid tumorsAugust 15, 2014 11:12 am | News | Comments
An international team of scientists has shown that an antibody against the protein EphA3, found in the micro-environment of solid cancers, has anti-tumor effects. As EphA3 is present in normal organs only during embryonic development but is expressed in blood cancers and in solid tumors, this antibody-based approach may be a suitable candidate treatment for solid tumors.

Nanotech invention improves effectiveness of the "penicillin of cancer"August 14, 2014 8:01 am | by Jared Sagoff, Argonne National Laboratory | News | Comments
By combining magnetic nanoparticles with one of the most common and effective chemotherapy drugs, Argonne National Laboratory researchers have created a way to deliver anti-cancer drugs directly into the nucleus of cancer cells. They have created nano-sized bubbles, or "micelles," that contain magnetic nanoparticles of iron oxide and cisplatin, a conventional chemotherapy drug also known as "the penicillin of cancer."
"Trojan horse" treatment could beat brain tumorsAugust 13, 2014 12:55 pm | News | Comments
A smart technology which involves smuggling gold nanoparticles into brain cancer cells has proven highly effective in lab-based tests in the U.K. The technique could eventually be used to treat glioblastoma multiforme, which is the most common and aggressive brain tumor in adults, and notoriously difficult to treat.
New analysis reveals tumor weaknessesAugust 13, 2014 7:40 am | by Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Scientists have known for decades that cancer can be caused by genetic mutations, but more recently they have discovered that chemical modifications of a gene can also contribute to cancer. These alterations, known as epigenetic modifications, control whether a gene is turned on or off. Analyzing these modifications can provide important clues to the type of tumor a patient has, and how it will respond to different drugs.
Synthetic molecule makes cancer self-destructAugust 12, 2014 8:40 am | News | Comments
Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and five other institutions have created a molecule that can cause cancer cells to self-destruct by ferrying sodium and chloride ions into the cancer cells. These synthetic ion transporters confirm a two-decades-old hypothesis that could point the way to new anticancer drugs while also benefitting patients with cystic fibrosis.
FDA approves first DNA-based test for colon cancerAugust 11, 2014 5:22 pm | by Matthew Perrone - AP Health Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments
The Food and Drug Administration has approved the first screening test for colon cancer that uses patient DNA to help spot potentially deadly tumors and growths. The Cologuard test from Exact Sciences detects irregular mutations in a patient's stool sample that can be an early warning sign of cancer. Patients who test positive for the mutations should undergo a colonoscopy to confirm the results.
Scientists unravel mystery of brain cell growthAugust 11, 2014 8:16 am | News | Comments
In the developing brain, special proteins that act like molecular tugboats push or pull on growing nerve cells, or neurons, helping them navigate to their assigned places amidst the brain's wiring. How a single protein can exert both a push and a pull force to nudge a neuron in the desired direction is a longstanding mystery that has now been solved by scientists from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Brain tumors fly under the body's radar like stealth jetsAugust 7, 2014 8:43 am | News | Comments
Brain tumors fly under the radar of the body's defense forces by coating their cells with extra amounts of a specific protein, new research at the Univ. of Michigan shows. The findings, made in mice and rats, show the key role of a protein called galectin-1 in some of the most dangerous brain tumors, called high grade malignant gliomas. The stealth approach lets the tumors hide until it's too late for the body to defeat them.
A new way to model cancerAugust 7, 2014 7:45 am | by Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Sequencing the genomes of tumor cells has revealed thousands of mutations associated with cancer. One way to discover the role of these mutations is to breed a strain of mice that carry the genetic flaw—but breeding such mice is an expensive, time-consuming process. Now, Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have found an alternative.
Study ties new gene to major breast cancer riskAugust 6, 2014 5:25 pm | by Marilynn Marchione - AP Chief Medical Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments
It's long been known that faulty BRCA genes greatly raise the risk for breast cancer. Now scientists say a more recently identified, less common gene can do the same. Mutations in the gene can make breast cancer up to nine times more likely to develop, an international team of researchers reports in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Self-assembling anti-cancer molecules created in minutesAugust 4, 2014 7:53 am | by Tom Frew, International Press Officer, Univ. of Warwick | News | Comments
Researchers have developed a simple and versatile method for making artificial anti-cancer molecules that mimic the properties of one of the body's natural defense systems. The chemists have been able to produce molecules that have a similar structure to peptides which are naturally produced in the body to fight cancer and infection.
Researchers find protein that fuels repair of treatment-resistant cancer cellsJuly 31, 2014 8:06 am | by Laura Bailey, Univ. of Michigan | News | Comments
Imagine you're fighting for your life but no matter how hard you hit, your opponent won't go down. The same can be said of highly treatment-resistant cancers, such as head and neck cancer, where during radiation and chemotherapy some cancer cells repair themselves, survive and thrive. Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world, but the late detection and treatment resistance result in a high mortality rate.
Study: Tumors absorb sugar for mobilityJuly 30, 2014 4:46 pm | by Lionel Pousaz, EPFL | News | Comments
We have long known that cancer cells monopolize large amounts of sugar. More recently, it became clear that some tumor cells are also characterized by a series of features such as mobility or unlikeliness to join in an ordered set. Researchers are calling this behavior "mesenchymal," and they suspect it promotes metastasis.
Team makes cancer glow to improve surgical outcomesJuly 30, 2014 7:45 am | News | Comments
The best way to cure most cases of cancer is to surgically remove the tumor. The Achilles heel of this approach, however, is that the surgeon may fail to extract the entire tumor, leading to a local recurrence. With a new technique based on injectable dye and infrared light, researchers in Pennsylvania have established a new strategy to help surgeons see the entire tumor in the patient, increasing the likelihood of a positive outcome.

Stop sunbathing and using indoor tanning beds, the acting U.S. surgeon general warned in a report released Tuesday that cites an alarming 200% jump in deadly melanoma cases since 1973. The report blames a generation of sun worshipping for the $8 billion spent to treat all forms of skin cancer each year.

Cancerous tumors protect themselves by tricking the immune system into accepting everything as normal, even while cancer cells are dividing and spreading. One pioneering approach to combat this effect is to use nanoparticles to jumpstart the body's ability to fight tumors. Recent combines these therapeutic nanoparticles with heat to stimulate the immune system.
Researchers discover new way to determine cancer risk of chemicalsJuly 25, 2014 7:00 am | News | Comments
A new study has shown that it is possible to predict long-term cancer risk from a chemical exposure by measuring the short-term effects of that same exposure. The findings could make it possible to develop simpler and cheaper tests to screen chemicals for their potential cancer causing risk.

Bilge Lounge Chair by uhuru
We've seen that chair made from recycled wine barrels everywhere (you know the one, right?), but we actually like this chair, made from recycled whiskey barrels, better.
What do you think? We like the sleek look of uhuru's Bilge Lounge Chair.
It's just cool (and it looks more comfortable than the wine barrel chair anyway).

Ooo, nice.
I don't suppose they intend to actually sell this, do they? Because I would totally want a couple of these on my (nonexistant) patio or maybe in my living room.
They're lovely and they look sproingy, something I adore in chairs.
I actually emailed them and they do sell them. I forget what the price is, but I recall it being far more than I can afford.
And by the way, isn't just from any whiskey barrels, but from bourbon barrels.

Yes we have serious voting problems in many places in many states. However, we are a Republic not a democracy. Thus the solution is a state matter!, except this does not mean for national elections the central government - Federal - cannot set the rules, regulations, policies, procedures and controls!

For some, storm damage is not obvious unless you climb the ladder to your roof.
At first glance, this home in Southwest Lubbock appears to be unharmed by recent hail storms but if you take a closer look the damage is severe. "As soon as I climb up the ladder it's just blatantly obvious that they've got hail damage," explains Jim Hardin Owner of Roof Master. He says if your home was recently pelted by hail more than likely there will be dents, but to assess the extent of the damage you should call an expert.
"Some of the dents can be real light for instance that is a hail hit, insurance still pays on that," he points out. Typically, your insurance requires at least 30 hits in a ten by ten area for a claim.
"I could probably circle about 30 hits in a 10 by 10 area so they're going to get a new roof," says Jim. Keep in mind, some of the dents may be hard to detect. The dent may be a light spot but Jim says over time, sun and other elements will quickly deteriorate the shingles and could cause leaks. But more than half of the roofs he's checked don't have enough damage to be replaced. "A lot of the roofs I got up there and really had to search to find just two or three marks," he says.
This roof will cost about $4,000 to replace now but Jim says it would cost more to wait because the problems could get worse. He suggests checking with the Better Business Bureau before hiring a roofer and never give money up front.
NewsChannel 11 also spoke with an insurance agent who says it may be a good idea to wait until hail season is over to file your claim. That should be sometime in mid-Summer.

What Are The Available Treatments For Pimples
posted by: Samantha
No Comments »
Pimples are very common among teenagers, but adults are being affected too. Some people have occasional breakouts while others are suffering from chronic acne. Nobody wants to have pimples as their presence can greatly affect the integrity of the skin and also negatively affects your self confidence and self-esteem too.
If you are suffering from pimples, the best thing to do is to get rid of it the soonest possible time. Delaying will only lead to worsening of the pimples. There are help self-treatments for acne, but you can also visit this site for http://pimpleresearch.com/ for more inputs about treatment and prevention of acne.
Watch your diet
The foods you eat can greatly affect the condition of your skin. Research showed that if you consume too much of dairy products, then you will be more at risk to developing pimples.
Wash your face regularly
It is important to wash your face at least two times a day. When washing the face, you have to use mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently wash the skin and be very careful not to over scrub it. It would also help if you are going to use over the counter lotion containing benzoyl peroxide.
Popping the pimples is a big NO!
A lot of people have this habit of popping their pimples. This is a big no! If you do so, infection and irritation might happen, which will lead to more serious blockage. It will also increase the risk of scarring. If you want to pop your pimples, then the best thing to do is to contact your dermatologist. A specialist knows the right procedure when it comes to removing pimples.
Refrain from touching your face
As much as possible, you should refrain from touching your face with your bare hands. Keep in mind that your hands touch different things and if you touch your pimples with your hands, the risk of infection and irritation will increase. If you want to touch your face, you have to make sure that your hands are clean. Aside from that, you have to keep your hands and nails clean too. Wash it with soap and regularly cut your nails.
The use of makeup
Do not go to sleep with your makeup on. Use your make up sparingly and when use non-acnegenic make up. Read the label of the make up before making your purchase. Make up can hide pimples, but they can also further aggravate the condition.

BELGRADE, Serbia, Aug. 11 (UPI) — The crisis in Kosovo is over, said Belgrade team leader Borislav Stefanovic, if Pristina is barred from setting up operations in the north.
"The crisis is over, and we are about to enter the dialogue in Brussels," Stefanovic said in a B92 report.
Serbia protested when Kosovo set up customs roadblocks outside Serb ethnic areas.
"We believe that we will be able to resolve the problem of customs seals, although this issue is not connected to the issue of administrative crossings," Stefanovic said. "This is our red line. We cannot allow Pristina to establish its institutions in the north, or to have the state of Serbia ousted from Kosovo and Metohija."
The purported settlement isn't perfect, Stefanovic said.
"This agreement is not ideal and the Serbs in north Kosovo do not accept the ban on flow of goods over 3 1/2 tons, but this was the only solution to avoid attacks on Serbs and possible victims," Stefanovic said.
Stefanovic said Serbia didn't get everything it wanted in the deal.
"We have bought time and got guarantees from international community that there will be no new unilateral moves by Pristina trying to change the situation in the field," Stefanovic said.

Hey, Milwaukee, lend me your Android's Sense-Ears for a sound mapping effort to research neighborhood health.
What can we learn from hearing our city?
I was looking to build an arduino prototype, but instead trying out Funf for android first. I'll be tracking noise levels and take that data and overlay it into a city map, in heat maps or elevation based on loudness. Looking to see if you can assess a neighborhood health by listening to it.
The potential of giving Google Drive an Evernote-esque UI overlay of cards and in-window editing could freshen up Skeomorphism's longest lasting joke - The File Browser.
I've been putting some hours in lately on researching the old habits inherited with paper, from embedding Word docs into emails to the "Desktop" GUI. That means I've been taking a bunch of notes and I started to want the Evernote note window as my main file explorer, but the one thing I felt was missing was any other file that aren't compatible. I'd love to see the Evernote-esque expereince take over the current File Browser. I think the closest to do it would be with Google Drive (Web) and Chromium. - If you own the viewer and the editor (doc, presentation, spreadsheet, graphic), why can't the file browser allow you to edit?
Building a prototype interaction to pair a phone as a game controller to a website.
Why don't Amazon and Google have strong To-Do applications? After all, some 90% of the content is purchasing intent.
A location smart index.html page - This attempt is to build geo intelligence into web pages that can benefit the user by giving them different content when they are at a specific location.
There was a map counter at our local park that had a pin on it that said "You are here". When we walked out the door and headed towards the trail, the paper map didn't update. More of us are walking around with smartphones, so why not lower the burden on handouts, fliers and maps at the entrance and potentially just point people with these devices to the sites homepage and let technology handle the rest.
I always used our Museum as a prime use case: When I am there, a map and current exhibitions are priority; but it also it gives the museum the opportunity to offer audio tours and links to additional content - More content, without all the paper. Print something out and it will be obsolete, be it an hour from now or 1 year. So this was a challenge for me to experiment with opportunities to make our website work better in these contexts.
Additionally, this is my first public Git repo and first JavaScript app… so be nice!
Our mapping data, from OpenPaths, during our Zurich vacation laser cut into plastic and made into a necklace.

Violin 3D Print Reconstruction: Top Complete
Peg was completed last week. Adjusted the scale slightly and finished printing the remaining pegs .
Rebuilding a family heirloom w/ 3D Printing - Tuning Peg half is complete
I had the opportunity to finally get a few prototype prints completed for my Violin reconstruction, and it looks like we have a winner. I'm actually printing the pegs in halves so that I don't have to use scaffolding to prop up the uneven build.
What is original in the Violin is the body, neck and one(1) Tuning Peg. The rest will be scanned and printed in white to be placed on the violin. I intentionally will be using a pop color (white in this test run) to not obfuscate what was original and what's filling in the full picture – You know, like how museums fill in the missing bones of dinosaur skeletons.
A concept on how a Microsoft Kinect may help us around the house.
With JavaScripts starting to connect the web with a Microsoft Kinect, how long until cameras like these are helping us be better cooks, fix things around the house and even help us build things?
To elaborate - I can't wait till the time that I can go to JohnDeere.com and by turning on a 'Camera Assist' the website can see what I am doing and help me thru the process. Imagine flipping your lawn mower over and letting the camera look over your shoulder to help navigate you through maintenance. Consider going to FoodNetwork.com and activating your camera so that the website can assist you in cooking more complex meals and keep time from of the other events going on in preparation. With a pair of eyes and a little bit of object recognition, we can start getting help with anything around the house in no time.
As the second screen evolves into how we engage with big screen content, could pure HTML5 or JS be used to pair browsers between a TV and a mobile device?
"Today 90% of our media consumption occurs in front of a screen." - Think w/Google
Of all the digital things that I interact with, they all share one common denominator = the web. We can all think of plenty of situations for using a mobile device as a second screen to interact with content on a larger, TV screen sized, webpage - like Airplay - but I don't know one that are supported over every platform.
The Violin that traveled from France with my family.
On its inside, it says it's a Stradivarious, but that is only a nod to the line that it was modeled after. Soon it will have a home on its own hook in the hallway. It's in rough shape and we are planning to only repair it on its most basic level. It will keep its scars and warts to wear proudly. I'll be experimenting with printing it's missing parts in a bright plastic from 3D images - this will allow you to know what was original and what it looked like complete.
Excited to be able to display one of the oldest pieces of our family history.
The bright side to losing your app website to the iCloud transition: You have to start over, and you really didn't like the last version.
FYI - the version shown is the one still in Development and not what is currently in the App Store
Hey, @Braun, hobby kits like Dieter's Radio Receiver need to make a comeback. Care to inspire an new generation?
Single handedly the most beautiful Hobby Kit ever.
Google Now is awesome; merge them with the iGoogle team to bring it to the browser and make it amazing.
Playing around with TV interface options, I wanted an app that I've nicknamed "Oatmeal" for a while for the iPad, but maybe it is better as a Web App on the TV.
When layering these iframes to a dashboard it started to look more and more like Google Now… and that's a good thing - We can use more Environmental/Ambient Intelligence in our devices and ultimately it should permeate into all internet enabled devices. Merging the Google Now group with iGoogle will be an amazing combination to bring this to the web.

Florida Getaways of the Day

Calle Ocho: Bask in Latin culture( August 7, 2014 )
Little Havana is the place to be. From the moment I entered the streets of Calle Ocho, I felt I was in a foreign country. Its signs are in Spanish, the aroma of freshly brewed cafe con leche wafts through the air, and catchy Latin music blares from the stores. Rustic reminders of the South American fondness for feathered creatures adds to the district's charm, even in its residential areas, where I was greeted by cooing doves, screeching parrots, singing grackles and clucking chickens.
Stroll through Domino Park, at 14th Street and Eighth, named for its painted domino tables occupied by older Cubans and other Hispanics, who play chess there, too.
Aside from a colorful mural featuring the presidents of the New World (among them Bill Clinton), the park looks as if it had been airlifted directly from a park in pre-Communist Cuba. Watching los viejos (old men) play dominos and chess, matching wits in their daily ritual, is electrifying in its excitement. Stay to watch a game or two, and, before long, you'll be invited to join in.
A trip to Calle Ocho would not be complete without trying its distinctive Cuban cuisine. One of my favorites was the legendary Versailles Restaurant, run by Cuban immigrant Felipe Valls and his son.
No Cuban meal would be complete without a good cigar - or at least an understanding of how they are made. Several authentic cigar manufacturers, such as high-end Moore and Bode, allow tourists to watch the men and women roll the leaves and, of course, purchase the final product.
Roosters, a universal symbol, often are pets of Calle Oche residents, and statues of roosters abound in the district. They stand outside businesses, advertising the wares or services offered inside. Bacardi Rum has one. There even is a "doctor" rooster outside a medical facility.
This non-Latino New Yorker came home with a new Latin beat. Salsa anyone?
