The opinions expressed herein are my own personal opinions and do not represent
my employer's view in anyway.
Fellow Microsoft Regional Director and a software legend, Rocky Lhotka posted an interesting entry on Message-based WebMethod "overloading" here.
In it, he recommends (and I quote) that service methods use a request/response or just request method signature:
response = f(request)
"request" and "response" are both messages, defined by a type or schema (with a little "s", not necessarily XSD).
The actual procedure, f, is then implemented as a Message Router, routing each call to an appropriate handler method depending on the specific type of the request message.
I couldnt agree more. While easier to comprehend, the practice of passing parameters to a Web Method call often sends the wrong messages across as (W3C) SOAP as just another RPC. Ultimately, if you have no idea and dont even want to grok the innards of the XMLSerializer, you would really think you are passing method parameters across or worse, think that you are ferrying objects across the wire.
Therefore, I firmly believe that it is for the good of all if you explicity specify that you are expecting a XMLDocument / XMLElement / XMLNode and you will dispatch the same on your endpoint. What you do at your implementation (whether it is serializing from a type to deserializing from one) is placed squarely at the mercy of the tools in your hand or the knowledge in your head.
With the current state of tools (or lack there-of) today, I sit on the same camp as Aaron Skonnard and Christian Weyer (plus others, I believe) as I believe firmly in the contract-first approach. Good devs should dig what is going on as close to the wire as possible, at least once. Then they can use all the wizards and helpers they want. This will help them understand better what is going on if they should need to troubleshoot later (leaky abstractions) or find other ways to improve performance.
This is just something that my team and me here have gathered over the years esp when I have got many developers out there working on the same solution offshore in different countries.
While I agree that not many people out there enjoy or want to grok the angle brackets and that the lack of tools out there is hugely to be blamed, tools make a productive developer but not necessarily a proficient one.
Until today, I still come across developers that still think Web Services are still about transferring an object across the wire. Having terms like "Web References" and "proxies", even deemed to be more abstract and dev-friendly, does potray the wrong ideas across.
I have always recommended younger developers who are interested in learning about Web Services / ASMX and SOAP to try out the (just-now-defunct) Microsoft SOAP Toolkit first before moving on. I find that to be a great interesting way to learn about XML SOAP Services as abstractions are kept to a minimum. Another great SOAP Toolkit in the face of Microsoft's non-supporting stance of its own is Simon Fell's PocketSOAP.
Another fellow Regional Director, Bill Wagner (who authored an very impressive book "Effective C#") posted his solution to Rocky's post here. I have used the same sort of approach that Bill had documented before and it is good and does serve its purpose. However (and please correct me if I am wrong), it bounds the message contracts and datatypes tightly to the WSDL. If I am going to add a third Request / Response pair of classes, it will render my initial WSDL invalid (unless of course, if I am willing to add an additional endpoint)
I worked on a project before which specify that (newer) datatypes are to be added in phases and therefore, we had to decouple the XSD from the WSDL (which is in accordance with one of the best practice of WSDL Deployments -- modular and the separation of concerns). Oh, by the way, this is practiced in Indigo.
I don't know if there is a way to decouple the XSDs from the WSDL in VS2003 today. Even if there is, I am guessing it is a difficult hack at best. So, what I did was to create the XSDs for each datatype as they come along and do a XSD import in my WSDL. At my message exchange contract, I used an open content type with xsd:any. Thereafter, I author my own WSDL with the help of Christian's and Thinktecture's WSContractFirst. Since the message and the datatype XSDs are all imported, the wsdl actually has a small footprint now. With the wsdl /server switch, xsd:any becomes an XMLElement type. For abstraction within my service, I changed it to an object in my implementation detail.
Note: .NET 1.1's WSDL.exe /server switch, in my mind, is still fairly limited and comes with a couple of annoying things I didn't like BUT I will expand this in detail later.
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute([Namespace]:="urn:softwaremaker-net.swmstoreexchangemessages"]> _Public Class Response Public Result As ResultEnd Class
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute([Namespace]:="urn:softwaremaker-net.swmstoreexchangemessages")] _Public Class Result [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElement(ElementName:="Book",Type:=GetType(BookType),Namespace:="urn:softwaremaker-net.swmstoreextendedtypes"), _ System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElement(ElementName:="CD",Type:=GetType(CDType),Namespace:="urn:softwaremaker-net.swmstoreextendedtypes"), _ System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElement(ElementName:="Anything",Type:=GetType(AnyType),Namespace:="urn:softwaremaker-net.swmstoreextendedtypes")] _ Public Any As ObjectEnd Class
Public FunctionProcessRequest([System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute([Namespace]:="urn:softwaremaker-net.swmstoreexchangemessages")] ByVal Request As Object) As [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("Response",[Namespace]:="urn:softwaremaker-net.swmstoreexchangemessages")] Response '... End Function
Once the consumer points to my wsdl (I turned off documentation of asmx by default), all the XSDs are imported by VS2003 as well (and that is a good thing). The xsd:any is still an XMLElement over at their end and we leave it as it is since we cannot control what they do there. The consumer can choose to deal with the raw XML if they want to OR do an xsd.exe imported.xsd /c and let the XMLSerializer do its (limited) magic .
In this sense, no matter how many more datatypes I add or remove, my wire-contract remains the same. I just let the endpoints serialize / deserialize the open-content xml (xsd:any). In my project I had mentioned earlier, I have one asmx endpoint servicing multiple consumers each sending different messages that conforms to different XSDs (For example, GroupA sends BookType and GroupB sends the CDType as well as a GroupC next time that sends a type that is unknown to me today). The thing I need to take care of is to send the appropriate datatype xsd to the appropriate groups so they can serialize / deserialize into the appropriate types. As you can see from the code snippet above, at my asmx, I will just add any new datatypes that come along.
While, this may seem like too much compared to Bill's solution above, it was necessary to decouple the datatypes from my wsdl in that project and the XSD Editor (codenamed: daVinci ?) in VS.NET2003 was the best tool I had in hand at that time. Developers are too comfortable with objects. This is obviously natural with the decade-long evolution of Object-Orientation and the power of abstractions the OO tools and languages bring today.
However, other factors like time, extensibility, standardization make abstractions expensive...and among others, these are all factors that make up the principles of the move towards Service-Orientation. Now, if we have to make and designed services to be explicit, this means that devs need to know they are explicity invoking a service across the wire, how far can the tools go to hide all the plumbings and yet not hide the fact that the service is on the other side and not just a mere shadow copy of a remoting object that seems to reside on the same application domain.
Will Service-Orientation fail to hit the mainstream because of this ? I dont know. I guess only time will tell.

LA JOLLA (CNS) - A high-end car dealership was the target of thieves early Monday morning, but it turns out they weren't after the luxury cars.
Officers were notified that a burglary alarm was going off at Symbolic Motors at 7440 La Jolla Blvd. at 3:15 a.m.
Security camera video shows two suspects smash a window and run inside. They ran straight for a case that held four watches valued at $100,000.
"They're a special commemorative watch. We're the authorized Bentley dealer here in San Diego and the watches are a collaborative with Breitling, so they were Bentley Breitling watches that were stolen," manager Rick Ahumada said.
Aside from the stolen watches, the broken glass put scratches on a Bentley priced at $200,000.
"Well, it's unfortunate. I mean they are cars, but at the end of the day they're special cars. We take it personal, you know, they're all hand-crafted an they take about 9 months to build so they're like babies to us," Ahumada said.
The thieves were in the store for only about 20 seconds, indicating they knew exactly what they were looking for and where to find it.
"Obviously we get a lot of traffic. We're a site for people to come see that are passionate about cars and so we get a lot of foot traffic in here, so unfortunately there's pros and cons to that just like any retail store," Ahumada said.
About three hours before the break-in, security camera footage shows what appears to be a Nissan Frontier -- with a guy who looks like one of the thieves in the passenger seat -- cruises into the dealership's parking lot. San Diego police have a copy of the surveillance tapes, as well as a bloody fingerprint left on a front window.
The dealership's manager is glad no employees were around when it happened, but is understandably disappointed by how his day started, and offers a reminder to all of us.
"During the holidays crime rates go up. I know it's a fact, and so the silver lining here is we can be an example for other businesses and even people with homes and residences to be on guard," he said.
If you recognize the men in the video or their car, you are asked to call San Diego police, or you can leave a tip with San Diego Crime Stoppers anonymously.

We reported back in April that Brad Peyton signed on to re-write the screenplay and direct. Dwayne Johnson's potential involvement isn't terribly surprising, since he worked with the filmmaker on this year's Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen created the DC Comics title in 1984 about an intergalactic bounty hunter. The character reached new levels of popularity in the 1990s, when he returned as a biker.
Joel Silver is attached to produce. It isn't known when this languishing project will actually start shooting, though Dwayne Johnson portraying the title character certainly does add a level of intrigue to the project. Stay tuned.
Lobo comes to theaters in 2015. The film is directed by Brad Peyton.

Sure, this review comes over a year since we first saw the 458 Spider, but there is no doubt that it is the best we have seen! Chris Harris got the chance to get behind the wheel of a Ferrari 458 Spider and drove it "like a complete idiot." Sorry, his words, not ours! Translated, this means he pushed the car to its limits and beat it like it stole his last £10. The result? Well, watch for yourself and be the judge of that!
Maybe a spider version is not as stiff and responsive as the coupe - many people think that a Ferrari should always have a top - but that V-8 engine is nonetheless astounding.
With 570 horsepower under the hood, it seems like the Ferrari 458 is inviting you to push it to the limits and it looks like there is always room for more. Chris Harris was happy to oblige, as he pushed the 458 Italia Spider about as far as it could go.
Enjoy the video. We definitely did!

Too much pressure
On a precious treasure
Because my actions should give you pleasure
Unpredictable like the weather
I frequent you whenever
As your heart falls
God forbid I drop the ball
For When hearts shatter
The goodness can't be recalled
Of days when I gave my all
Only memories of laced language daggers. Being stabbed by spears
And I gotta overhear
How you refuse to lend your heart out
Ever since our encounter last year
Love is not fear
It seldom can be taught
But it's ironic that we don't get the credit when you're flying
But the crashing, yea. That's all my fault

New Web site for LakeNet
Lisa Borre writes:
On behalf of the LakeNet Secretariat, I invite you to preview recent improvements to our website at http://www.worldlakes.org. The new and improved website is the culmination of five years of information collection about lakes and their management which is now part of a searchable, online database. We hope it provides more and better information in an easier to use format and serves as a catalyst for effective work to protect and restore the health of lakes throughout the world.
Highlights of the new website include:
· An improved database of information on over 2,000 lakes with hundreds of more detailed lake profiles which describe physical characteristics and management issues and include links to timely news articles, lake organizations and other relevant resources;
· breaking news stories on lakes and lake issues with a searchable archive of over 1,000 articles;
· links to over 1,500 organizations and resources useful to lake managers and others working to protect and restore lakes;
· a maps section, drawn from a database of more than 250,000 lakes, that begins with global lake maps and will include regional, national and individual lake basin maps; and
· a special section of the website dedicated to the Lake Basin Management Initiative, a global initiative to document and share experiences and lessons learned in lake management.

I won't be going anytime soon, but I hate Star Wars. I did enjoy Star Tours in its original incarnation, but a revamp holds limited appeal for me. Little Mermaid is my 2nd favorite modern traditionally animated Disney film, and I like ocean themed stuff. Ariel gets my vote.
That being said, I voted SW not because of it being a revamp, but because Disney has always maintained minimal thrill rides in comparison to their armada of omnimover/tracked darkrides... another "ride in moving seat - look at animated dolls" type ride just doesn't get me excited. Had they brought some kind of groundbreaking new tech or experience to TLM, then maybe... but from what I have heard, its pretty much just another cookie-cutter dark ride based on an OLD Disney film.
It at least feels like they are injecting some innovation into SW (digital 3D, non-linear ride experiences).
I voted for Little Mermaid, but I feel like Star Tours will win due to America's obsession with technology. I prefer the music and vivid imagery of the Little Mermaid despite being a huge Star Wars Geek. I knock off a few more points for being associated with the painful "movies" called Episode I-III.
While I can see that some people would call Little Mermaid "just another dark ride", that's like calling Splash Mountain "just another Flume Ride". Every attraction is based on something including innovative ones like Soarin, or Tower of Terror.
The Little Mermaid is an entirely new ride (and a princess to boot!), so I see it having a bigger impact than a new version of an old ride.
The Little Mermaid, while it is a big, luxurious dark ride, is really just a people-eater that doesn't really provide anything beyond a synopsis of the well-known movie. To the best of my knowledge, there isn't anything about it that is truly innovative.
As much as I love The Little Mermaid, and I do, I have to give the very clear advantage to Star Tours.
My understanding is that the joint project between Disneyland and WDW imagineering is that this Little Mermaid ride is different from the previous project at Tokyo Disneyland.
Does anyone know about this?

|MSN Entertainment's 100 favorite films
95. "Slap Shot" (1977)
In 1977, when "Slap Shot," the best sports comedy -- no, the best sports
movie ever made -- came out, I was of a completely inappropriate age to see it.
But I grew up in Maine and at that point had been going to Bowdoin College
hockey games for the better part of a decade, which meant that I'd seen Ned
Dowd, brother to "Slap Shot" screenwriter Nancy Dowd, and former Bowdoin Polar
Bear, skate at my hometown arena. Seeing George Roy Hill's movie was practically
a family duty. Dowd played Ogie Ogilthorpe, brute extraordinaire, and it was his
experience in the minor leagues that informed his sister's screenplay (he went
on to be a successful producer for films and an assistant director).
Even if I hadn't had this connection to the film, I would have loved it purely for Paul Newman swaggering about in that coat, the leather one with the fur trim. Can we talk about the Hanson brothers -- Jeff, Steve and Jack -- who join the Charlestown Chiefs with a suitcase full of nothing but toy cars? The fashion show? If you haven't seen "Slap Shot," please do so immediately. It remains, even today, howlingly funny, a brilliant satire of the competitive nature of professional sports at its lowest levels. I actually can't wait for my kid to be a teenager, if only so we can watch it together. — Mary Pols(Paul Newman in "Slap Shot"/Courtesy Everett Collection/Rex Features)

Mariki, Zamboanga City, Philippines
Location of Mariki, Zamboanga City
History of Mariki, Zamboanga City
It was in the early seventies during which, we witnessed rebellion rose to its greatest heights. In Mindanao particularly the Provinces of Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, Basailan, the Zamboanga Peninsula, the Lanao Provinces, the Provinces of Catabato and Davao, the movement was spearheaded by the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) headed by its Chairman Nurullaji Misuari.
It was unprecedented in the history of the Republic considering that finally on September 21, 1972, President Ferdinand E. Marcos placed the entire country under Martial Law. This was done to contain armed rebellion by force with the end in view of exterminating the leaders and discouraging followers and sympathizers alike in furthering the causes of the movement. Indeed, it was a show of might on the part of the government.
Unfortunately, the MNLF seemingly can match the government with its equally lethal weapons and with highly trained and mobile forces endowed with successful guerilla tactics designed to confront conventional warfare.
Confronted with this phenomenon, the state fully realizes that for it to succeed the war, hand in hand with the military campaign, socio-economic and civic programs should be in placed in order to win the hearts and minds of the rebels and sympathizers back to the folds of the law and become productive citizenry mindful of the welfare and the future of their children in particular and the nation in general.
Thus, we saw the birth of the so called "policy of attraction" that was mainly responsible for the return to the folds of the law by many of the prominent leaders and followers of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) who became leaders themselves by assuming key military, political and executive positions in the government.
We saw various socio-economic and civic programs being implemented which benefited much to the improvement of the welfare and well-being of the common tao, and thus, we likewise witnessed the social and economic fulfillment among the constituents reaping dividends in terms of relatively and substantially stable peace and order condition in the region.
In 1975, a project known as Sahaya Village was established in Mariki, then a sitio of Barangay Rio Hondo, Zamboanga City, by the government through the Southern Philippines Development Authority (SPDA) pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 472. Said project triggered the exodus of people from the neighboring provinces into Mariki and due to its ideal geographical location and by virtue of the fact that Zamboanga city is the center of commerce and host to prominent educational institutions, many opted to establish residency in the area not only for economic reasons but foremost, the education of their children.
This reality propelled Mariki into full pledge Barangay after satisfying all the basic requirements for the establishment of the same, particularly in terms of population, income and geographical size. Such creation was likewise in pursuance of PD 472.
Finally, in 1987 the NAMRIA released aerial photograph showing the boundaries of Rio Hondo and Mariki from east is Sumariki and from the west is the river bank of Rio Hondo as boundaries of the two barangays, copies of which were furnished to all agencies concerned. And as certified by the office of SPDA, it owns the property under Lot 1278, which is known as Lupa-Lupa and the area is 3,085 sq. m. located at Mariki Sahaya Village, Zamboanga City.

Abstract. Spores and related chemical compounds from actively spore-discharging Ascomycota (AAM) and actively spore-discharging Basidiomycota (ABM) are primary biogenic components of air particulate matter (characteristic size range 1–10 μm). Measurement results and budget calculations based on investigations in Amazonia (Balbina, Brazil, July 2001) indicate that the forcible discharge of fungal spores may account for a large proportion of coarse air particulate matter in tropical rainforest regions during the wet season. For the particle diameter range of 1–10 μm, the estimated proportions are ~25% during day-time, ~45% at night, and ~35% on average. For the sugar alcohol, mannitol, the budget calculations indicate that it is suitable for use as a molecular tracer for actively discharged basidiospores (ABS), and that the literature-derived emission ratio of about 5 pg per ABS may be taken as a representative average. ABM emissions may account for most of the atmospheric abundance of mannitol, and can explain the observed diurnal cycle (higher abundance at night). ABM emissions of hexose carbohydrates might also account for a significant proportion of glucose and fructose in air particulate matter, but the literature-derived ratios are not consistent with the observed diurnal cycle (lower abundance at night). AAM emissions appear to account for a large proportion of potassium in air particulate matter over tropical rainforest regions during the wet season, and they can also explain the observed diurnal cycle (higher abundance at night). The results of our investigations and budget calculations for tropical rainforest aerosols are consistent with measurements performed at other locations.
Based on the average abundance of mannitol in particulate matter, which is consistent with the above emission ratio and the observed abundance of ABS, we have also calculated a value of ~17 Tg yr−1 as a first estimate for the global average emission rate of ABS over land surfaces. Comparisons with estimated rates of emission and formation of other major types of organic aerosol (~47 Tg yr−1 of anthropogenic primary organic aerosol; 12–70 Tg yr−1 of secondary organic aerosol) indicate that emissions from actively spore-discharging fungi should be taken into account as a significant source of organic aerosol. Their effects might be particularly important in tropical regions, where both physicochemical processes in the atmosphere and biological activity at the Earth's surface are particularly intense, and where the abundance of fungal spores and related chemical compounds are typically higher than in extratropical regions.

Get to work. That's the message US Senator Deb Fischer has for her colleagues on both sides of the aisle.
Wednesday Fischer said Washington could learn from our fellow Nebraskans.
They've rolled up their sleeves and took action after the state endured severe weather and watched as a tornado tore through Wayne, Nebraska.
In Washington, the Nebraska Senator said several good ideas are on the table when it comes to ending the shutdown.
"Including repealing the medical device tax. Including a one year delay of the individual mandate to purchase costly insurance. And also including the preservation of legally required spending reduction while providing more flexibility to determine what programs to cut," said Fischer.
One thing the Senator won't negotiate—she said she and every Republican stands strong on repealing Obamacare.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We were so worry about new place for my son who is ten. But the kind staffs and teachers help us to adjust him after immigrating from so different country to the US.
this school has the secretary with the worst customer service ever! If you show up to pick up your child she doesn't look up from her computer and won't give you the time of day. They get a new principal often and head lice runs the school. My child came home and told me her milk was lumpy! One year that is all we gave it. Entered as a hopeful family left very disappointed. My sons had a wonderful experience at his old school and was often coming home with awards or I would get an email praising him being a caring child. This teacher had a 2/3 class she didn't know he was a 3rd grader until a month in when he asked why he was repeating 2nd grade. She also had the kids pull petals off their friends goof behavior flowers as a quiet way to let them know they were bothering them. Often when my son would show up to school his petals would already be torn off. When he told her he didn't like the petals and that the other kids at the table were doing this she told him to sit down and deal with it. Ugh! Trying to take the high road I offered to volunteer in the class and was told I wasn't needed. What a horrible year! FYI The booster club didn't seem to like outsiders.
This is a great school with terrific environment that encourages safe, responsible and respectful behavior. The children are lead by a stable staff of dedicated professionals.
West Union is a great school that has a safe envirmonment. The principal knows the kids names and cares about the kids. The teachers will work with you if needed.
If your primary concern is to place your child in a safe nurturing environment then WUE is an excellent school. There is strong emphasis in teaching good behavior and fantastic community support. The school has an excellent music room, library & PE experience. If you're looking for an academic challenge I'd recommend looking around. The TAG coordinator believes advanced/gifted students should receive a standard curriculum. "We find that if advanced students are given a standard curriculum that the rest of the students catch up in a few years." As a parent of a kid who performs 3-4 grade levels above age in reading and math this is maddening. Of course if your plan is to not teach my kid for three years then, yes, everyone will catch up.
Children there are taught not only academics but also respect for themselves, for their peers and teachers and for learning.
My child has attended this school for 5 years, and the nurturing, creative environment along with exceptional, caring teachers have made this a wonderful fit for our family. With the opening of another district school last year, the enrollment has adjusted downward to its previous lower numbers. Teacher/student ratios are still as high as other district schools, but the school community makes the most of its resources. There are many teachers at West Union who have been at the school for 10+ years.
I was nervous sending my daughter to a public school. Prior to this year, she had attended private non-parocial school. West Union's teacher was master's prepared. I scheduled a private meeting with her, and she was great! The school has been wonderful. My only concern is the large number of students per teacher ratio. So far, that hasn't presented a problem
this is the best school my daurgher has ever been in the EC are not that inportand but the teachers a grate they know what there doing and the class rooms are just the right sizes
My daughter just started here as a Kindergartener. I don't know much about the school, other than it seems just fine. The teacher seems very dedicated and there is a real emphasis on creating a safe and supportive atmosphere. The only complaints I've heard are that the school building is old and in need of replacing (by parents) and (from my daughter) that she dislkes the kindergarten schedule. It is very sporadic as there is no K-bus to save over a million dollars a year in gas, so she goes full days W-F and alternate Mondays. Sporadic schedule is hard for my little one. They need regularity to feel really part of something. I didn't think it would be a big deal, but she complains so much about it, I'm afraid I made a mistake.
Both my children have attended this school and it is great school with high parent involvement and excellent teaching staff. The EC activities are not that important to us as we are looking to provide that outside of school, the education was quite good though.
The classrooms have too many kids in them, the teachers are spending more time trying to discipline the children than teaching them. Neither of my children are getting the skills they need, they don't get the help they want and the teachers are just too busy getting children to behave. I have had to quit my job and spend more time teaching them at home to keep them up with other peers outside of this school since we've moved here.
We had the best experience at this school. The teachers were not only knew what they were teaching, but they understood how different students learn. Also, they kept on top of problems between students, and took students feeling threatened seriously. I wish my own grade school had been as wonderful as my child's was. They really made school a safe place, and made my kids excited to learn. When we moved at the end of the school year, we applied to have the kids finish the school year here. It was worth it to take the extra trip to get them to and from school, so they could continue. Luckily the work schedule flexed for it.

Hyperoxia may slow formation of wrinkles
Bethesda, Md. (June 29, 2010) — It's no secret that UVB radiation from the sun causes wrinkles. However, a Japanese study published in the American Journal of Physiology — Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology (http://ajpregu.physiology.org/)
indicates that oxygen may help combat the formation of wrinkles by lessening tissue damage done by UVB rays.
In the study, mice who were placed in an oxygen chamber after exposure to UVB radiation developed fewer wrinkles and showed fewer signs of tissue damage than mice who were exposed to UVB radiation alone.
UVB and Skin Damage
The readily visible hallmarks of skin damage are wrinkles and a thickening in the outer layer of skin, the epidermis. Together they make skin look and feel leathery.
The "sun-weathered" look is merely evidence of what is happening on a molecular level beneath the skin's surface, however. When skin is repeatedly exposed to UVB radiation, new blood vessels form from existing blood vessels in the skin in a process called cutaneous angiogenesis. Several transcription factors — proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences — play a role in angiogenesis, including hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-1) and its subunit HIF-1 α and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
The Study
In the study, the researchers assigned 24 hairless mice into three groups. The control group, the UVB group, and the UVB+HO group. The control group was not exposed to UVB radiation. Both the UVB and the UVB+HO groups were exposed to UVB radiation by a special fluorescent lamp three times per week for five weeks, but the UVB+HO mice were placed in an oxygen chamber for two hours after each irradiation.
Over the five weeks, the mice in the UVB and UVB+HO groups developed wrinkles, but the wrinkles were more pronounced in the UVB group. Likewise, both the UVB and UVB+HO group experienced increased epidermal thickness, but again, this result was more pronounced in the UVB group.
There were differences between the UVB and UVB+HO groups on a molecular level, as well. The level of HIF-1α increased significantly in the UVB group compared to the control group, whereas there was no significant increase in the UVB+HO group. VEGF levels increased in both the UVB and the UVB+HO groups, but the UVB+HO group experienced a smaller increase. This implies that oxygen and the excess amount of oxygen in body tissue, or hyperoxia, that it provides can lessen skin damage and wrinkling caused by UVB radiation.
A Surprising Result
The study had one surprising result, as well, one involving molecules called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Like HIF-1 α and VEGF, they play a role in angiogenesis. Two MMPs in particular, MMP-2 and MMP-9, are thought to accelerate wrinkling by degrading the outer components of cells. However, in this study, MMP-2 levels tended to decrease with exposure to UVB radiation and MMP-9 levels remained the same, even in mice who did not receive oxygen. According to the researchers, this implies that MMP-2 and MMP-9 are not main factors in wrinkle formation and angiogenesis, at least in the early stages of skin damage caused by UVB radiation.
The implications for humans remain to be seen, and the researchers note that further studies are required. In the meantime, the best way to avoid wrinkles caused by UVB radiation is to wear sunscreen.
Shigeo Kawada, Masaru Ohtani, and Naokata Ishii, all of the University of Tokyo, conducted the study. The study is entitled "Increased oxygen tension attenuates acute ultraviolet-B-induced skin angiogenesis and wrinkle formation" (doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00199.2010).

Physiology is the study of how molecules, cells, tissues and organs function to create health or disease. The American Physiological Society (APS) has been an integral part of this scientific discovery process since it was established in 1887.
Marmots can teach us about obesity
A nutrient that's common to all living things can make hibernating marmots hungry – a breakthrough that could help scientists understand human obesity and eating disorders, according to a new study by a Colorado State University biologist.
The study appears in the current issue of the Journal of Experimental Biology. The full paper is available at http://jeb.biologists.org/cgi/reprint/213/12/2031.
Professor Greg Florant discovered he could slowly release a molecule called AICAR into yellow-bellied marmots that activates a neurological pathway driving food intake and stimulates appetite. The pathway, which shuts down during hibernation, relies on an important balance between two energy molecules — ATP and AMP. The lower the ratio between the two cellular molecules, the lower the energy in the cell and the more the appetite is stimulated.
Without this artificial stimulation, awake, hibernating marmots do not eat – even when researchers place food in front of them.
"The experimental group started to feed because they thought they had this energy deficit," Florant said. "Then when the pumps dispensing the molecule finally stopped, the animals went right back into hibernation. That suggests to us that the animals are still sensing energy levels within cells during the hibernation period."
Tissue samples taken from marmots in Florant's lab allow researchers to identify biochemical processes and genes that are active during hibernation – as opposed to genes that are active when they're feeding or engaging in other behaviors.
The American Physiological Society has called hibernators such as marmots, bears, woodchucks, hedgehogs and lemurs "medical marvels" because they can turn off their appetites and slow their breathing to a point that would be lethal to other animals.
Marmots typically hibernate for as many as six or seven months.
"You can't eat if you're asleep," Florant said. "We've discovered that perhaps nutrients within the brain, such as fatty acids, can alter the food intake pathway, which normally shuts down when marmots hibernate. The perceived drop in energy nutrients (i.e. low ATP) makes the animals think they've got an energy deficit and want to eat."
Florant said he'll conduct additional research this summer to determine whether the reverse is true: Can he stop the animals from eating when they're not hibernating?
His team will also identify neurons in the particular areas of the hypothalamus that are involved in food intake in animals. The hypothalamus is one of the master regulator areas of the brain and controls such activities as food intake, sex and temperature regulation.
"We know which neurons are driving this process," he said. "We're just trying to identify them within the marmot and distinguish what's different about the neurons in a marmot compared to a rat or other animal that does not go into hibernation."
Natural S-Equol suggested as critical component in SE5-OH for reducing menopausal hot flushes
Anaheim, Calif. (April 30, 2010) — Natural S-equol, a novel soy germ-based compound, is very likely the primary ingredient for reducing hot flushes in the dietary supplement SE5-OH, which is under development for reduction of menopause symptoms, according to pre-clinical efficacy data from studies using an animal model presented at the Experimental Biology (EB) 2010 annual meeting.

Estrogen can reduce stroke damage by inactivating protein
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Estrogen can halt stroke damage by inactivating a tumor-suppressing protein known to prevent many cancers, Medical College of Georgia researchers say.
"Our research suggests that estrogen suppresses p53 after stroke, which stops the damage," says Limor Raz, a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the MCG School of Graduate Studies.

Muzaffar Naqvi said
First time on your page Kuntal. Lovely ghazal well presented by Madan Mohan Ji as a nice slow song. You sound very sweet and poised. Along with your harkats it made even a better listening pleasure. Wonderful singing Kuntal. Naghma is the first word that begins the song with and comes several times in this ghazal. When you can sing Saughaat so well Naghma should not be difficult to pronounce either. The gh in Sughaat sound the same as gh in Naghma. But this is not your fault saying Nagma has become so common in India, Bollywood maybe, but is not right.

How well you have handled the difficult nuances in this song, Kuntal. What a voice, you have. Very pleasurable listening. Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward for more uploads from you.

Slive: BCS changes at least 2 years away
Published: Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 8:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 8:26 p.m.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Mike Slive helped propose the plus-one plan to find a national champion in football and says actual change remains a couple years away even if everyone can agree on changes to the Bowl Championship Series.
The Southeastern Conference commissioner said Wednesday a decision could be made later this year but cautioned it's premature to speculate on what changes might be made. He says they need time to sit down and analyze plans with discussions needed among the conferences.
"Really a lot of this discussion is premature, and I want to respect the process that we're in," Slive told members of the Nashville Sports Council during a question-and-answer session. "We've had four-year formats since we started. We've done it on the basis of four years, so each four-year period you have to sit down and decide what format is going to be going forward. So we have decided to sit down and talk about this from every different side."
Slive said they started discussions the day after Alabama beat LSU for the SEC's sixth consecutive national championship in January with another meeting scheduled later this month. He said there will be several meetings on the topic after he saw no interest from his colleagues or other conferences in pursuing a four-team playoff to decide the BCS champ back in 2008.
The format of pairing four teams playing two semifinals plus the title game was proposed by Slive and the commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference only to be shot down by leaders of the Big Ten, Pac-10, Big East, Big 12 and Notre Dame.
Now the Big Ten is expressing interest in changes.
"What would it look like and whether it's actually going to happen, all of that is premature," Slive said. "I think we need the time to sit down and analyze it. We need time to take ideas back to our respective conferences and ... a decision to be made sometime later this year as we begin to talk about the ... next format."
The SEC commissioner said they also need to look very carefully at how any changes affect traditions like bowl games. Before the session, he said they have two years left in the current format, leaving plenty of time to work through any changes.
He's also not sure what prompted the current interest in the plus-one plan.
"It's been an enormous success for us to have four different teams win the national championship over the last six years has been incredible and unusual. It's a record that'll never be broken," Slive said. "Whatever it is that brings people to the table, I'm glad they're coming."
Slive shot down talk of any further expansion. The SEC added Texas A&M and Missouri as the league's 13th and 14th members with the 2012 football schedules released only a few weeks ago, and conference officials have many more details to handle.
"We're at 14," the commissioner said. "It's going to take us time to absorb. I don't know if you realize how difficult it is to take two institutions and move them into 12 other institutions whether it's scheduling or the way we're working together. So we have our hands full for now."
Slive's appearance came in part to help promote the SEC's women's basketball tournament in Nashville starting March 1. Slive noted between 2001 and 2019 the league will wind up playing 11 basketball tournaments in Nashville with the men's tournament coming to town in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2019.

It looks like the departure of JoJo Offerman from the second season of Total Divas has been confirmed, as the press releases for the show are not making any mentions of the young WWE diva. The media is simply stating that Summer Rae is joining the cast.
While she has been rumored to be removed from the upcoming and second season of Total Divas, WWE is not planning on releasing JoJo Offerman any time soon. The belief is that she is still pretty young, so management will give her more time in developmental.
"Rest in peace, Mae Young. You're truly an inspiration to us all. It was an honor to have met you. You will be missed."
There is some backstage heat towards JoJo at the moment, with one source stating that she is actully on thin ice with WWE. The company opted to take focus away from her on Total Divas, and she's missed several episodes of Monday Night Raw.
Jo Jo Offerman, who was once romantically linked to Randy Orton, now has a new boyfriend. She posted a picture of him on Twitter recently and stated that he was the best boyfriend that a girl could ask for.
The seven girls of Total Divas were able to beat the other WWE divas in a traditional Survivor Series match. Natalya and Nikki Bella were the last two standing in the ring at the end.
JoJo Offerman, the developmental diva featured on Total Divas, made her official in ring debut for WWE at an NXT show over the weekend.
JoJo Offerman reveals that she received some training from former WWE diva Mickie James.
