LA JOLLA, Calif., January 3, 2013 Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, a nonprofit research institution and one of the largest iPSC generators in the world, and Intrexon Corporation, a leading synthetic biology company, today announced a new collaboration to accelerate stem cell research. Under the agreement, Sanford-Burnham will gain access to sophisticated proprietary cellular selection and gene regulation technologies that are not currently on the market, including Intrexon's Laser-Enabled Analysis and Processing (LEAP) instrument and RheoSwitch Therapeutic System (RTS). As part of the agreement, Intrexon may obtain commercial and intellectual property rights resulting from technological advances made under the collaboration.
"I'm looking forward to merging and melding our expertise," said Evan Y. Snyder, M.D., Ph.D., professor and director of Sanford-Burnham's Stem Cell Research Center and Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology Program. "We'll bring our iPSC and gene therapy expertise to the table. Likewise, our colleagues at Intrexon will share their knowledge of how best to use the technologies. We envision we'll be meeting with them frequently and sharing insights to further advance the platforms for stem cell applications."
Sanford-Burnham is currently building the world's largest collection of human iPSCs generated from individual patients and healthy volunteers. The Stem Cell Research Center's expertise and resources are available to all Sanford-Burnham scientists, as well as other researchers at nonprofit and for-profit research organizations around the world.
LEAP for induced pluripotent stem cells
The LEAP instrument is an automated system that provides high-throughput cell imaging coupled with versatile laser-based cell processing. The instrument's applications include rapid and accurate in situ purification of adherent cells and cell colonies, features that are particu

Recently I and several other BF members bought some cheap Vilano framesets on eBay and built them up using mostly existing used parts for a total cost less than $100. The intent was to build something for beater use or that might be exposed to the risk of theft. So I thought it would be fun to see how many of you have done something similar. There are a lot of threads with people bragging about how much money they've managed to blow creating the ultimate show bike, but none that expound on the virtues of frugality. The rules for inclusion in this thread are as follows:
1) The total cost must be less than $100. You must include any shipping fees or sales taxes and include any existing stock of new parts purchased within the last year.
2) You must do all the work yourself. It's ok to do some of the work at a coop or bike kitchen or even an lbs that lets you use their tools, but the labor must be 100% yours.
3) It must be an actual build rather than just a cheap buy on CL or whatnot.
4) You cannot share parts with another fully functional and compete bike, however, it's ok to use parts from another incomplete bike or which are takeoffs from bikes which have been modified or upgraded with different parts.
5) Extra credit for home made parts.
So here's my entry. Total cost = $63.95, which includes the shipped cost of the frameset with headset, BB and seatpost with frame clamp, plus $10 for existing stock new bar tape bought less than a year ago.

Transfer Case Oil
Posted 13 April 2012 - 07:31 AM
It is time to change my transfer case oil on my Yukon Denali 2007 and I have a critical question which I hope you can help me out before I do something wrong and damage my vehicle.
The owners manual says I shoul use the following:
(Manual transmission Fluid GM Part No. 88861800.
However, my dad's 2009 Yukon Denali manual as well as my friend's 2012 says they should use DEXRON-VI Automic Transmission Fluid!
My question is, as far as I know there has been no changes in Yukon Denali from 07 to 2012. Therefore, this made me feel a little bit skeptical about my 07 manual. So, for my Transfer Case, should I use DEXRON- VI or GM Part No. U.S. 88861800?
Please help me out!

This information applies to 2007 and prior GM passenger cars and trucks.
Dexron III is being phased out as a product name. It is being renamed Manual Transmission Fluid and carries p/n 88861800 U.S. (88861801 Canada).
If fluid p/n 88861800 U.S. (88861801 Canada) is not yet available when servicing a manual transmission or transfer case, Dexron III can be used in its place.
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Unavailability of manual transmission fluid part number 88861800 U.S. (88861801 Canada).
If fluid part number 88861800 U.S. (88861801 Canada) is unavailable when servicing a manual transmission or transfer case, Dexron III can be used in it's place. DO NOT use Dexron VI in place of the manual transmission fluid in any manual transmissions or transfer cases as a failure may result.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Hyundai Genesis
By KBB.com Editors
After entering the U.S. market with an inexpensive (some might say cheap) subcompact car more than 20 years ago, Hyundai has continued a climb upscale. Now the brand is taking its most ambitious step in that direction ever with the introduction of the Hyundai Genesis, a luxury sedan with the amenities of vehicles costing thousands of dollars more. Though intended to compete against the likes of the Chrysler 300C, Lexus ES 350 and the Pontiac G8, the new Genesis actually channels attributes of even more expensive models, like the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Powered by either advanced V6 or V8 engines, the rear-drive Genesis is filled with upscale items like adaptive front lighting, proximity key with push-button start and a truly amazing Lexicon 7.1 surround-sound audio system.
You'll like the Genesis if you are less concerned about brand prestige and more concerned about the driving experience and the vehicle's feature set.
If you seek the razor-sharp handling of the best of the German luxury brands, you may not be satisfied with the Genesis despite the fact that in V8 form it mimics them well.
While Hyundai has dabbled in the premium sedan market previously with its Azera, the Genesis is several notches above that car on the sophistication scale.
Driving Impressions While hard to distinguish from the outside except for their different wheels, the V6-powered Genesis 3.8 and the V8-powered Genesis 4.6 have different characters. The 3.8 offers 290 horsepower, which...is plenty, and feels softer over the road and in hard cornering than its 375-horsepower near-twin. Both accelerate smartly, but we prefer the extra horsepower, taut feel and more responsive electro-hydraulic steering of the 4.6. Stopping is swift and sure thanks to large four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Brake Assist and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). The brakes on the 4.6 models are especially notable – four-piston fixed-caliper front brakes with larger front rotors. Hyundai calls the Genesis a sports sedan, and while the 3.8-liter version might be a little soft to justify that, the V8-powered car lives up to it. The interior quiet during all types of driving is praiseworthy, and a sophisticated rear backup camera plus eight ultrasonic sensors located on the front and rear bumpers help detect how close objects are when parking.
Lexicon Audio System
The sound from this discrete 7.1 audio system is not only powerful, it is beautifully nuanced – one of the best factory sound systems we've ever heard in a vehicle of any price. Auxiliary USB and iPod inputs allow drivers to fully control and charge iPods directly from the head unit.
Overall Interior
The interior of the Genesis is truly outstanding. The extravagant use of genuine leather and wood plus meticulous fit-and-finish make for an interior worthy of a top luxury brand.
To our practiced eyes the interior of the Hyundai Genesis is almost shockingly good. The leather-wrapped dashboard and steering wheel show levels of design and execution that would put many luxury-brand interiors to shame. The front seats are not only covered with rich leather but, optionally, they are both heated and cooled. The rear seat area is equally well-finished and has ample head-, hip-, shoulder- and legroom. The design of the dash is simple, which makes operation of the climate control system easy. (Of course, with automatic temperature control, it doesn't take much fooling with.) Hyundai decided to emulate the European brands by using a joystick-type controller for navigation and audio functions, and that is a mixed blessing. Yes, you need master only one interface, but that interface isn't all that intuitive.Exterior
Attractive though conservative and largely derivative are ways to describe the Hyundai Genesis's exterior. Its light but torsionally stiff body structure echoes styling motifs from several luxury brand competitors. The grille and front end evoke Mercedes-Benz, while the rear quarters complete with LED taillights pay homage to both BMW and Lexus. The judicious use of polished metal for items like window surrounds, door handles and the attractive wheels add a decidedly upscale feel. The overall exterior look is handsome but without much hint that this sedan is a Hyundai. However, the architecture does facilitate a laudable 52-percent/48-percent front/rear weight bias that aids both handling and ride.
In the Hyundai tradition the Genesis provides a rich assortment of standard features per dollar spent, including the handy proximity key with alarm and entry system; power windows with front auto-up/down with pinch protection; remote fuel door, hood and trunk releases; one-touch power tilt-and-slide sunroof (V8); leather seats; woodgrain accented dash; Bluetooth hands-free mobile phone interface and USB/iPod auxiliary inputs. The wealth of safety items includes electronic stability control (ESC), advanced dual front airbags, front and rear seat-mounted side-impact airbags, roof-mounted side curtain airbags for both front and rear outboard seat occupants, and electronic active head restraints.
For everyday enjoyment of the vehicle, the prime option is the Lexicon-branded audio system featuring LOGIC 7 technology. Rolls-Royce is the only other automotive brand to offer a Lexicon system, and the surround-sound, 11-channel, 17-speaker extravaganza that produces more than 500 watts is certainly of super-luxury-brand quality. It features both HD and XM satellite radio, and in navigation-equipped models it includes a 40-gigabyte hard drive and XM NavTraffic. Another key option is the automatic front lighting system that allows the xenon high intensity discharge (HID) headlights to swivel automatically for better visibility when cornering.
We have nothing but good things to say about both engines available in the Genesis sedan. For most drivers we think the 290-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 will be more than adequate, while offering slightly better fuel economy. But we can't help preferring the intoxicating power of the 4.6-liter V8, which is ably abetted by its six-speed automatic transmission. Happily, the fuel economy penalty is small. Both engines are rated to run on regular fuel, but premium gas gives the V8 a slight power and torque boost.
3.8-liter V6
290 horsepower @ 6200 rpm
264 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4500 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/27
4.6-liter V8
375 horsepower @ 6500 rpm
333 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3500 rpm

"The 3.8 sedan is a remarkable value in this segment. The 3.8 engine in smooth and the 8-speed transmission is buttery smooth and excellent on downshifts. The steering is a little hefty, and the ride dampening a little choppy, but overall this is a great car. Acceleration is excellent; gas mileage for a car this big is acceptable. As a road car, the Genesis makes long trips a pleasure. The sound system (Lexicon) is very nice and the overall utilization of space is well executed."

B4 vs Sbish
Katie DD 3/16/09, DS 2/16/10, and changing it up with DD2 10/22/2011 (34 week preemie) EBF, ERF, BW, CDing, AP and loving it!
I'm only familiar with the regular B4s. She has some new sleepy dipes, but I had stopped night time diapering when she came out with those.
I have a very heavy wetter. We owned the OS snapless & the regular B4s at the same time. The B4 was not nearly absorbent enough for night time. We use them for naps & he can saturate them in 2 hours. For night, we used the Sbish, with the 2 bamboo inserts, & an extra Joey Bunz hemp. We covered that with a Disana cover. This worked from 6-8 months to about 2 y.o. when we had to switch to sposies. A B4 was used a couple of times after a laundry mishap & dh had to get up in the middle of the night to change.
dh (8/99), ds (12/99), 4 miscarriages, LO (5/10), & newb (4/13), 5th m/c (10/14)
I think absorbency wise, they are fairly similar, the OBF Sbish & Sbish HLC's (happy little clouds) are probably more absorbent, and the SBish snapless may be about the same..
Cost wise, you'll end up spending more on OBF Sbish because they are sized (XS,S, M, L, XL) whereas the B4 are one-size, about the same as B4's if you get the HLC's, and less if you go with snapless. However, if you have a skinny babe, you might get a better fit with a sized diaper than a one size.

i've had both. sbish is cheaper of course, but i feel that the fabric used to make the sbish reflects the price. not only is there less of it (short rise and fewer inserts) but its not lined with anything soft so it feels crunchy and wet on baby. they are trimmer of course because they're sized and bikini cut. also i don't like the way sbish/sloomb has treated their customers in the last year or so, so i wouldn't want to support their business, cheaper or not.
b4 are lined with velour so they stay squishy soft and fairly dry against baby. the OS is nice (if you can handle a little bulk) because more fabric means more absorbency. i've always been thrilled by their construction and customer service. plus you have the option to get T&T, which is all my daughter can wear, serging shreds her belly and thighs if she wears it for any long period. serging is the cheap way out when it comes to sewing and every single other brand i've tried serges somewhere on their fitted, bububebe finishes the entire diaper including all the inserts.
I don't get 'drunk' I get less classy and more fun
Hmmmm...I agree the material is different between the two, but I haven't found it to be a quality issue. I can see how it might be a difference in preference.
B4: outer is either woven or knit, inner is usually cotton velour or bamboo velour. Either way, velour is very, very soft when it is brand new, but it too can get old and stiff if you don't use some sort of softener (like Ecover or Mrs. Meyers). I really like B-4's a lot and agree that they are excellent quality.
Sbish (There are now 4 types of Sbish diapers)
1. Snapless. These are one-size and the outer shell is made from Bamboo terry, which I find to be super soft and fluffy. The inside is made from bamboo fleece which is buttery soft brand new. When they get wet, they do stiffen up--as have all my diapes made from bamboo fleece (Blueberry bamboo fitteds do this as well). These are more of a daytime absorbency fitted and are trimmer fitting than the other Sbish fitteds.
2. Happy Little Clouds (HLC). These are a two-size system, similar in design to the Snapless except they have snaps and the insert is a fold-over, snap-in snake style soaker (the Snapless soakers do not snap in). The outer shell is the same plush bamboo terry, and the insert is also bamboo fleece. These are more absorbent than the snapless, and not quite as absorbent as the OBF's.
3. OBF's (Organic bamboo fitteds). These diapers are sized xs-xl, have snaps, a fold-over, snap-in snake style soaker plus and extra doubler, and they are entirely made of the bamboo fleece. They are quite soft when they are new, but after a while lose those softness--but it is easily restored if you use Ecover or another fabric softener.
4. Forage: I haven't tried these, they have just been released, but the new prints are very cute!
As for Sloomb, all their products I've purchased have been on par quality wise with B4, and the one item I received that was slightly-sub par (almost a year ago when I bought my first Sbish snapless), was promptly taken care of with the greatest customer service I have experienced. I can't speak for other people, but I know that I have always received excellent customer service and been very impressed with them.
I don't think you can go wrong with either brand. I use both and like both and would highly recommend both.

Oooh what happened?
I have both Sbish OBF and B4s. I use the Sbish for naps, but never for overnight. B4s are softer, more absorbent, and keep my dd feeling dry. I also dislike the short rise of the Sbish and never get the perfect fit.
B4s are amazing diapers and the Sleepytimes are the best in my stash.

WEST ORANGE, N.J. -- Helen Genova, PhD, research scientist at Kessler Foundation, received a Women of Excellence Award in Health Sciences from the Union County Commission on the Status of Women. In the Foundation's Neuropsychology and Neuroscience Laboratory, she investigates the effects of multiple sclerosis (MS) and traumatic brain injury on cognitive function with grant funding.
"It feels wonderful to win the award," said Dr. Genova. "Professional women have so many roles to play. They have to balance motherhood, careers, home life, etc., so I'm excited to be a recipient of an award that celebrates women and values what they do."
With her first research grant from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Dr. Genova is studying cognitive fatigue in individuals with MS. With cognitive fatigue, individuals tire easily when performing tasks that involve thinking and learning, which can adversely affect their ability to work and perform the usual activities of daily life. "For years, scientists have had to relay solely on subjective reports of fatigue," said Dr. Genova. "We're hoping that with our innovative approach of using functional MRI to study brain function, we will come closer to a better and more effective way of studying this debilitating symptom."
A second grant funds a pilot study using diffuser tensor imaging to identify whether damage to the brain's white matter correlates with cognitive decline in individuals with MS. Dr. Genova's aim is to develop more effective strategies for maintaining cognition and quality of life.
Dr. Genova and her husband, a family practitioner, reside in Union, NJ, with their two young children. Together, they organize the annual Health and Wellness Fair at their son's school. They teach about healthy lifestyles as well as tolerance and awareness of people with disabilities.

A friend of mine sent me a very funny piece from 2005 mocking the kinds of survivalist discussions that happen at the United Jewish Communities General Assembly, which is held every November. It's a little out-of-date–even some conservatives have now deserted President Bush–but it does a nice job poking fun at how out-of-touch some community leaders are.

Established in 1960 in South Korea, Kumho is in the top ten tire manufacturers in the world, and their products are fitted as original equipment on Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, and Smart Car models. In addition to offering state-of-the-art passenger vehicle tires, Kumho specializes in race track, high-performance, and heavy truck applications (Kumhos are fitted as OEM equipment on Mercedes-Benz commercial trucks and Sprinter vans.) We offer a wide variety of Kumhos created for all climates, vehicles, and driving needs.
Kumho won the Tire Manufacturing & Design Innovation of the Year Award at the Tire Technology Expo for perfecting a process of laser-cutting tire tread patterns, which has allowed their engineers to improve every style of their tires. This refined laser etching system makes possible innovative dual-layered tread patterns that provide more effective grip and noise reduction and permits sidewall designs to be shaped more aerodynamically for lower rolling resistance.
If you need tires for ultra-high performance, Kumho has a wide selection of summer performance tires, pure track racing tires, and all-weather tires designed to enhance the performance of any sport sedan, GT coupe, or compact. And if you need tires for your Ford Super Duty F-450, heavy truck, or van, Kumho offers over a dozen choices in their impressive line-up of heavy commercial radial tires. Their selection lets you further choose tires customized for paved highway driving, poor roads, or no-pavement conditions. Higher- and lower-profile sidewall choices with or without wide bases are available as well.

CARiD's web site has been set up to automatically guide you in the tire buying process for your vehicle whether you're looking for same-size replacement tires or considering upgrading tires and rims to a larger size. To find Kumho tires available for your specific vehicle, select your make, model, and year. You'll notice a range of sizes appear on the left (anywhere from 13 inches to 26 inches in diameter for example). When you're ready, choose your current size or browse from other diameter sizes that will typically fit on your vehicle. Next, you have the option of narrowing down your search further with preferences of all-season, summer, or winter tread designs. Then, you can choose between tires with tread designs optimized for types of driving: performance, all-terrain, or economy.
The '90s have been the runway for a takeoff into the 21st century. Kumho is refreshing its corporate culture today to cope with the ever-changing business environment in the world under the WTO regime and take its place on the global forefront. In 2010, Kumho Tire celebrated its 50th year anniversary.
There is a lot of information on the sidewall of a tire. Typically, you'll find UTQG ratings for treadwear, traction and temperature, the size of the tire, the load rating index number with a speed rating index, the construction type (bias or radial), the D.O.T. compliance code, and construction details. On some tires used as original equipment, you may also find a marking that indicates its OE status.

2013 Ram 2500 6.7l cummins with DEF : best exhaust & CAI
I've read lots of threads but can't seem to get a good idea of what is the best aftermarket exhaust & cold air intake for 6.7l Cummins with the DEF.
I don't want to do anything that'll void my warranty & just want some extra hp & ftlbs. Not interested in any tuners or chips, yet anyway.
Any advice or ideas?
For a CAI the S&B is definitely the best choice IMO. It's the nicest made intake available and with the optional ram air scoop, will give you the most gains. Keep in mind those gains will be minimal as it's only an intake swap. On Cumminsforum I've read of guys gaining about 1 mpg and maybe a few HP and ft-lbs. Don't expect anything crazy.
As far as exhaust goes, if you aren't going to do a turbo back exhaust (with all the deletes) you won't gain anything so it's not even worth touching it. If anything you could pull the resonator off but since it's a straight through design already you won't gain anything from doing so.
From what I've read the stock intake on the new diesels is about as good as you can get until you are hitting the high hp modifactions. I'd swap the filter out for a better dry filter though.
I plan on changing mine simply because I like the look of it, I want more turbo noise, and I'm a mod addict :LOL: I'm not really expecting much for gains out of it. At least not until I do more mods down the road (tuner, TBE, intake horn etc.).
Honestly, you'd be better served by skipping the intake and exhaust and putting that money aside for a H&S tuner. The OEM intake and exhaust (after the emissions equipment) are excellent designs.
Wandell, where did you get your H&S tuner, MBRP exhaust, and I'm assuming you've done an EGR delete? And about how much did that all set you back if you don't mind me asking?
If you do go with a tuner you will need this first http://www.bullydog.com/product.php?ID=472
I can't speak for the 2013's but on the 07-09 6.7's you can unplug your EGR valve to pick up a little power and fuel economy. On the 2010-2012 it's hit and miss if you can do that. Some go into limp mode while others operate just fine, either way though you will have a CEL. I picked up about 2mpg +/- by disabling my EGR...
I just checked out their site and it doesn't look like you can get the XRT Pro that supports DPF delete anymore. And now obviously the MiniMaxx race tuners are ridiculously expensive with everything that's going on with the EPA. $1650 for a tuner is outrageous! I saw on H&S website that you can get a MiniMaxx street tuner with international software, I wonder if that one still supports DPF and EGR deletes? I'll probably have to contact them to find out....
Tuning is out there......:smileup:

State releases school test scores for local schools
Some of Ventura County's lowest-performing schools improved their student test scores this year, but despite that growth, many still fell below increasingly tough federal standards set by the No Child Left Behind Act.
The California Department of Education released the state's Accountability Report Card today, including results from the federal Adequate Yearly Progress report, required by the No Child Left Behind Act, and the state's Academic Performance Index.
Statewide, 157 schools improved their scores by more than double the state target for the second year in a row but failed to meet the federal standard.
Only about half of California's schools met the AYP standard this year, compared with 67 percent last year.
In Ventura County, 86 percent of school districts showed some growth in their API scores, but only 55 percent of schools met the federal requirements.
"Clearly, these schools are on the right track but are still labeled as failing under our federal system," state schools Superintendent Jack O'Connell said in a statement released this week.
Ventura County Superintendent Stanley Mantooth, however, said he was pleased with the gains in school districts that have a higher concentration of low-income students or those still learning to speak English, including the Rio, Hueneme, Ocean View and Santa Paula districts.
"There have been dramatic improvements in schools that are in the lower socio-economic ladder, because of the degree of the Œbuy in from the school staff," Mantooth said. "In those districts, everyone believes in the mission to improve the learning environment, have a very strong instructional leader and parental involvement. These are all key ingredients in the recipe for success."
Both the API and AYP scores are based on standardized state tests that students take in the spring.
Other local highlights from Thursday's scores include:
-- Santa Clara School, a K-6 campus of 55 students near Santa Paula, received the county's highest API score this year at 949. Vista School in Simi Valley and Mound School in Ventura received scores of 938.
-- Foothill Technology High School in Ventura received the highest API score among high schools in the county, at 895.
-- The county's top scoring charter school was the Camarillo Academy of Progressive Education, or CAPE, at 899. The K-8 campus opened in 2007.

Additional profile information on Alfred Thompson at Google+
Hand checking code seems to be a dying art. At least for students that is. Throw some code into the IDE and hit F5 to compile and run and then see what happens. "Ready, Fire, Aim"
At the risk of sounding like the old guy reminiscing about the good old days that were not really so good I can't help but remind people what it was like in the days when you could expect to get to the computer once a day. Each shot at the computer meant one compile/run/test cycle. One really had to be careful about what you sent to the computer and that meant you went over your code carefully, by hand, before letting the computer get at it.
Back in the day that meant you looked for syntax errors as well as logic errors. I'm not so sure that letting the computer do most of the syntax checking is all that bad an idea anymore. On the other hand, really bad things can happen if the logic is wrong. I still like the idea of looking at the code closely, pretending to be the computer to make sure that the algorithm works the way it is supposed to work.
Call me old fashioned if you'd like but to me spending some time to double check the code by hand to the point of having a high level of confidence in the results seems like a good idea. When the program has its first clean compile and runs for the first time it shouldn't be a surprise that it works correctly. All too often it seems as though programmers, well mostly beginners, put together some rough set of code with the hopes that it will achieve close to the correct result. Once they see how close they get they assume they can gradually fix things. While iterative development is in many ways a good idea it would be a lot better to go from success to greater success than from near success to closer to success.
This is the twenty-first of a series of posts based on the book Programming Proverbs by Henry Ledgard. The index for the series is an earlier post and discussion of the list as a whole is taking place in the comments there. Comments on this "proverb" are of course very welcome here.
Over at the Microsoft Robotics Studio Blog Joseph Fernando has a couple of interesting posts.
The first one is about a new robot that lets people take a virtual tour of the palace at Versailles. Robotsoft has created a robot that is allowed into the private areas of the palace. Orange Telecom fiber customers will be able to view what the robot "sees" in high definition from home. They will also be able to control the robot from their PCs. Pretty cool really. This allows people to visit, at least virtually, a lot more of the palace but without the security concerns of letting people actually physically wander around. Could this be a way to open more currently private spaces with broad public interest? Maybe.
Joseph also provides a bunch of links to the recent Sumo Robot competition that Microsoft sponsored at MEDC 2007. I really enjoyed the pictures he posted of the behind the scenes set-up operation as well. They assembled 40 sumo bots for the event. I can't imagine how much more work it would have been if they hadn't been using standard parts like the fully assembled Create robots from iRobot that were the robot bases.
(BTW it appears that Tom's Hardware is running a Create robot contest.) I'm not sure if that is the same or different from the one at http://www.instructables.com/group/iRobot but there look like oppertunities to do fun robotic stuff over the summer and win cash as well.
How does Blake Handler always see these announcements before I do? The man is amazing. Good thing I read his blog or the presentation I am giving next week at the CS & IT Symposium would have stale data. OK what am I rambling about now?
Windows SteadyState is the 2.0 version of what used to be called the Shared Computer Toolkit. This is a tool for managing and protecting computers that are shared my many people. Things like libraries, school classrooms and computer labs and even Internet Cafés. it lets you protect your C drive, limit activities that users can do and otherwise simplify managing a shared or public computer.
The handbook with installation and setup instructions can be found here. Summer time is just the time to think about how to manage computers in a lab next school year. I'd love to hear from people who have used this or otherwise looked at it seriously.

ATLANTA The National Institutes of Health has awarded Georgia State University with a five-year grant to start a new Center for Excellence in Health Disparities Research, which will investigate health disparity issues in Atlanta's urban environment.
The $6.7 million grant is funded through the NIH's National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities. The center will include major research topics, as well as outreach programs.
The new center will be based in the Institute of Public Health of the College of Health and Human Sciences, and will include researchers from public health, social work, the Center for Healthy Development and criminal justice in the college, and faculty from the departments of African-American studies, sociology, and psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Health disparities in urban areas lead to poor health, which is caused by a confluence of factors, including poverty, discrimination, unemployment, lack of access to care, and the manmade environment, said Michael Eriksen, director of the Institute of Public Health.
"These factors conspire to put communities at a disadvantage in terms of health and well-being," Eriksen said. "What we hope to do with this new, larger center of excellence is to better understand the socioeconomic forces that contribute to ill health in communities that constitute much of urban Atlanta, and the urban United States."
Three major research areas include:

Whilst the weather really is warm, it must cool down somewhat at night as every morning, the boat's external surfaces are covered in condensation and this morning was exceptional, it was dripping. Still, it was a beautiful day and we were off and on our way by 06:45, preferring to use our marine heads rather than the facilities offered on shore. In calm conditions, showering on the hoof is perfectly feasible, as is having breakfast and we do this quite ...

The water was quite green, very freshwater-like but despite that, we were too hot to worry about it and we both swam, the temperature being 22.5�C, so quite refreshing. Later, I went to explore a little and found a really fine communal cooking hut (for want of a better word (see photo)) but there was no honesty box apparent so it looked like we could stay for nothing.
Yesterday was the last day of school. We gave our presentations and then school was done. I was so happy. I packed up a little bit more and then we had a dinner at a pizza place. The pizza's were huge!!! It was a nice evening....that was pretty much the day.

We gathered for Rauma and set off at 10am. The bus drive was about an hour. When we got there we got on a boat and weaved through the islands fo the sea to an island with a lighthouse and restaraunt.

Her husband's business is not going well nowadays and that is why she is perplexed about her children's education. She also fails to manage the family expenses. For this reason she decided to start a new business which would maybe uplift them out of their critical condition, so she applied for a loan from BJS (Kiva's partner) to purchase different ingredients like oil, potatoes, ghee, spices, etc. for making fast foods such as pakora, cutlets, fried pastries, potato chips, etc. to sell in her local area because there is great demand for fast food in her locality. Each and every person in her locality relishes her fast food items as there is no other fast food centre in their locality and there is a great demand for the product; that is why Reba earns a lot of profit from this business. Moreover, she can extend her business with the profit she makes and can give her family a smooth life.
Reba expresses her heartiest thanks to BJS and Kiva for their kind financial support.

A gene known to be important in cardiac development has been newly associated with congenital heart malformations that result in obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. These are the findings from a study conducted by Nationwide Children's Hospital and appearing in the journal Birth Defects Research Part A.
Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) malformations, including aortic valve stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, Shone complex and interrupted aortic arch type A, are responsible for a major portion of childhood death from congenital heart malformations. Yet it is often unclear how these defects develop.
"While 10 to 15 percent of people with an LVOT defect have a chromosomal defect such as Turner syndrome, the causes for most LVOT defects remain unknown," said one of the study's authors Kim McBride, MD, MS, principal investigator in the Center for Molecular and Human Genetics at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
Recent studies suggest a genetic component to these heart malformations. Aortic valve stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, hypoplastic left heart syndrome and bicuspid aortic valve have been reported to recur within single families. Nationwide Children's faculty has also identified several chromosomal regions that show evidence of being linked to LVOT malformations.
"It is estimated that there are more than 500 genes that may be important in heart development," said Dr. McBride, also a faculty member at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. "Changes in any of these genes may impact how a child's heart forms."
To identify specific genes, investigators examined the DNA of children treated for LVOT malformations and their parents, enrolled by Dr. McBride at Nationwide Children's Hospital or by Dr. John Belmont and his team in the Department of Molecular and Human Genetics, Baylor College of Medicine at Texas Children's Hospital

The ObservableCollection is a special WPF collection that provides proper notifications to the UI when items are added, removed, or the list is refreshed because it implements INotifyCollectionChanged. It's common to use this collection (or inherit from it) to contain your business objects you want to bind to in WPF.
Class Window1 Private CustomerData As ObservableCollection(Of Customer)
You can then set up a CollectionViewSource and use it's View property to get a reference to the ListCollectionView in order to add and remove items instead of working with the source collection directly. This decouples your data source (and therefore any collection logic) from the form itself making it much easier to change sources later. I've showed how to use CollectionViewSources before but basically you just declare them in the Window.Resources section and bind to them in XAML:
<Window x:Class="Window1"
Title="Window1" Height="282" Width="440" Name="Window1">
<CollectionViewSource x:Key="CustomerSource" />
<Grid DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource CustomerSource}}">
And then you can set the Source property in code to your collection and obtain the ListCollectionView.
Dim customerSource = CType(Me.Resources("CustomerSource"), CollectionViewSource)
customerSource.Source = Me.CustomerData
Me.View = CType(customerSource.View, ListCollectionView)
Then you use the View to add and remove items from the collection and the UI will update properly:
Private Sub btnDelete_Click() Handles btnDelete.Click
If Me.View.CurrentPosition > -1 Then
'removes the currently selected customer from the underlying collection
End If
End Sub
Private Sub btnAdd_Click() Handles btnAdd.Click
'adds a new customer to the underlying collection
Dim customer = CType(Me.View.AddNew, Customer)
'do something with customer if needed...
End Sub
Calling these methods on the ListCollectionView will execute the InsertItem and RemoveItem methods on the ObservableCollection.
Now if you are using an Entity Data Model (EDM) the designer in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 will generate entity classes for you that you can also bind to in your UI. Access to these entities is done through the ObjectContext and the designer also creates a class for you that inherits from this when you create the EDM. It is named something like xxxEntites. (For instance, in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 "Add New Item" and select ADO.NET Entity Data Model and name it Northwind.edmx. Generate from Database and select Northwind. Select all the tables and then the designer will generate an ObjectContext called NorthwindEntities and entity classes based on the tables in the database.)
Because the ObjectContext is what tracks changes on entities you can place entities inside an ObservableCollection but in order for the ObjectContext to be notified that adds and deletes need to be tracked you need to write a bit of code. The easiest thing to do is to create your own class that inherits from ObservableCollection and override the InsertItem and RemoveItem methods so that you can tell the ObjectContext to either add or delete the entity which will ultimately execute against the database. In the constructor pass a reference to the ObjectContext. You can also pass in any collection of entities, say from a LINQ query, and then add them to the ObservableCollection. For example:
Imports NorthwindDAL
Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel
Public Class CustomerCollection
Inherits ObservableCollection(Of Customer)
Private _context As NorthwindEntities
Public ReadOnly Property Context() As NorthwindEntities
Return _context
End Get
End Property
Sub New(ByVal customers As IEnumerable(Of Customer), ByVal context As NorthwindEntities)
MyBase.New(customers) _context = context
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub InsertItem(ByVal index As Integer, ByVal item As Customer)
MyBase.InsertItem(index, item)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub RemoveItem(ByVal index As Integer)
End Sub
End Class
Then you can use the collection on your WPF form instead like so:
Imports NorthwindDAL
Class Window1
Private db As New NorthwindEntities
Private CustomerData As CustomerCollection
Private View As ListCollectionView
Private Sub Window1_Loaded() Handles MyBase.Loaded
Dim results = From c In db.Customers _
Where c.City.ToLower = "seattle" _
Order By c.LastName, c.FirstName _
Select c
Me.CustomerData = New CustomerCollection(results, db)
Dim customerSource = CType(Me.Resources("CustomerSource"), CollectionViewSource)
customerSource.Source = Me.CustomerData
Me.View = CType(customerSource.View, ListCollectionView)
End Sub
Private Sub btnSave_Click() Handles btnSave.Click
MsgBox("Customer data was saved.")
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub
Private Sub btnDelete_Click() Handles btnDelete.Click
If Me.View.CurrentPosition > -1 Then
End If
End Sub
Private Sub btnAdd_Click() Handles btnAdd.Click
Dim customer = CType(Me.View.AddNew, Customer)
'do something with customer if needed...
End Sub
End Class
Now any updates, adds or deletes you make in the UI will be propagated to the database through the Entity Framework.
Can we have a c# version of this code ? I tried Telerick vb to c# converter but the compiler gives an error.
protected override void RemoveItem(int index)
Error says "Method name expected" for "this" inside DeleteObject method call
Nice Post..
It was really helpful.
But would like have ObservableCollection directly generated from EF itself :).

The MIT model predicts how much a plume of CO2 will migrate from its injection well and the path it is likely to take due to underground slopes and groundwater flow.
"A lot of people have done studies at small scales," Szulczewski said. "If we're going to offset emissions, however, we're going to inject a lot of CO2 into the subsurface. This requires thinking at the basin scale."
"Despite the fact that our model applies at the basin scale, it is very simple. Using only pen and paper, you take geological parameters such as porosity, temperature and pressure to calculate storage capacity," Szulczewski said. "Other methods suffer from major shortcomings of accuracy, complexity or scale."
Juanes studies a phenomenon called capillary trapping, through which CO2, liquefied by the pressure of the Earth, is trapped as small blobs in the briny water (picture bubbles of oil in vinegar). The CO2 dispersed throughout the basin's structural pores eventually dissolves and reacts with reservoir rocks to precipitate out into harmless carbonate minerals.
CO2 has been sequestered in small pilot projects in Norway, Algeria and elsewhere. In 2004, 1,600 tons of CO2 were injected 1,500 meters into high-permeability brine-bearing sandstone of the Frio formation beneath the Gulf coast of Texas. Current proposals call for injecting billions of tons within the continental United States.

"Why worry about my prostate health now?" you might ask. Some experts believe that EVERY man will develop some degree of prostate cancer if he lives long enough. Autopsy studies have shown microscopic evidence of prostate cancer in 15-30 percent of men over the age of 50 and in 60-70 percent of men who reach age 80.
But don't let that statistic scare you. The reality is that fewer men are dying from prostate cancer than ever before.
And the next generation's risk is decreasing all the time. New statistics tell us that a male born today has a 15 percent chance of being diagnosed with prostate cancer at some time in his life, but just a 3 percent chance of dying from the disease.

Hyundai Veloster Recalls
During its installation at the factory, the panoramic sunroof assembly may have been weakened.

The rear brakes on the 2012 Veloster contain certain components of the parking brake system. Moisture and road grime that collects on the rear brakes may cause the parking brake components to bind, and potentially fail to work properly. This is only affecting vehicles equipped with manual transmissions. If the parking brake is not fully engaged when parked, the vehicle may move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash. Hyundai dealers will replace both rear brake calipers to correct this concern.
