Lukas Podolski says he relishes the special atmosphere that surrounds London derbies.
The Germany international played a key role in Arsenal's 3-1 victory at West Ham on Saturday, claiming an assist for Olivier Giroud's first-half equaliser.
It was an important three points for the Gunners, and Podolski enjoyed the intense nature of the match at Upton Park.
"The atmosphere was very good, the fans are crazy and you get a lot of derbies here," the striker told Arsenal Player.
"In Germany you only have one or two derbies, here you have five! I like derbies but it was not good to lose to Chelsea at home.
"However, beating West Ham means we are back near the top of the league. I think it was a very important result.
"We saw the other teams at the top win, like Manchester City and Chelsea, so it was vital for us to get the three points before the [international] break."
Having settled in quickly to life in the Premier League, Podolski was pleased to see Giroud open his account against West Ham.
"Everybody wants goals from strikers and it was not easy for him," he said. "You must wait for your chance, keep fighting and the goals will come."

No matter what I write in this review, there are people out there who will instantly accuse me and the TR team in general of being Apple fan boys, so I may as well throw the cat among the pigeons straight away. Put simply, the original iPhone changed the face of mobile devices, and proved without a doubt that a great user interface is far more important than a long feature list.
For years iPhone haters have always been keen to point out all the features that are missing from the device and how their Windows Mobile/Nokia/other handset is better because it supports a host of features that the iPhone doesn't. Apple addressed some of these issues with the iPhone 3G that launched last year, adding (unsurprisingly) 3G data support along with GPS functionality.
Related: iPhone 7 release date, news and rumours
But, even the iPhone 3G was open to very vocal criticism - no MMS, no copy and paste, no video recording, no A2DP Bluetooth support… The whinging went on, and once again everyone at TrustedReviews was accused of being biased towards Apple, when in reality we believed, and still do believe, that the user experience afforded by the iPhone far outweighed its lack of certain features.
See also: iPhone 6 Plus Review
Did I ever sit there with my head in my hands lamenting the lack of copy and paste on my iPhone? No, not really. Did I ever wish that I could wirelessly stream music to a pair of Bluetooth headphones? Nope - I'd far rather plug my Shure E500s in and make the most of my music. Did I ever wish that I could whip my iPhone out of my pocket and video some mundane occurrence in the hope that I might get it shown on BBC News? Absolutely, positively never!
However, if a list of features is really that important to you and you can't see beyond it, the new 3GS may offer just enough to convince you of the iPhone's merit. Although I wouldn't necessarily call the iPhone 3GS the third generation device, there are enough tweaks and improvements over the iPhone 3G to make it appeal to some of the naysayers.
Whether there's enough of an improvement over the 3G to make it a worthwhile upgrade for existing iPhone users is a different matter though, and one that I'll look at in more detail later in this review. For now though, let's see what new features the iPhone 3GS brings to the party.

I think the biggest weakness of the iPhone is now the lack of multitasking, something that becomes painfully apparent if you try a Palm Pre.
Also can you Bluetooth pictures to your friends yet?
Apple fan boy! :)
An excellent review, although it is definitely from the viewpoint of an existing iPhone owner.
I think the choice really does depend on what you find important on a phone, for example if the camera or video is really important then maybe this isn't the phone for you. I could go on about OLED screens, battery life, WebOS etc. but we all know there are phones out there that do some things much better than the iPhone. That said it is undoubtedly an excellent all round package and covers most bases well. Even if it is a bit eye watering in the cost department.
Thankfully the competition is finally starting to show signs of catching up. For example as you mentioned there's the Pre and then the Samsung Galaxy, the upcoming Sony Android phone and especially the very interesting HTC hero (hardware aesthetics aside) which has an even better UI than the Apple in some respects and it'll be free on a £40 18 month contract.
We must still take a moment to thank Apple for stirring up the market and I for one can't wait to see the next gen iPhone and what the competition produce (the Palm Post, Samsung Universe, HTC Superhero etc).
Best consumer handset? now thats what you call a debate.
It is certainly one of the top mobile devices but I would not go as far as to crown it the best handset just yet. Iphone has finally caught up im many ways and in some other apsect(s) outdone what a modern handset offers in this technology era.There are so many feature-rich multimedia mobile devices coming later this year and alot of companies have taking note on the success of Apple's app store and are putting in place business models that cater to a similar service/experience you get when you buy an iphone.
I will wait till the end of the year before I give honour to whom honour is due. For now the throne has no bearer in my kingdom.
you just know there'll be 50+ comments for this within a few hours.
no doubt it's a great phone but i have to question the 8 for value. £185 on a £35 a month contract is a joke.
i agree with your comment about Android just waiting for it's time to shine. i'm holding out for the htc hero to release. after trying the magic i'm sure it's the phone for me.
@xenos - I agree, but also as someone who has managed to get some hands-on time with the Pre I can tell you it slows to a crawl with too many apps open or just two or three of the more heavyweight ones.
The debate is a little like Flash: it's great to have the option but it can also be a real drag on overall system performance.
@ravmania - again having tried out the Hero the problem you'll notice is the phone simply isn't powerful enough. It looks great and HTC Sense is an impressive wallpaper job over Android but it really chugs along. Perhaps a firmware update will fix this, but it is a big issue at the moment so definitely try before you buy.
On the other hand it isn't the car crash than the Toshiba TG01 UI is. That's a complete disaster.
Will have to see how it is but at least in Android's case it doesn't need a wallpaper (like a certain other mobile os does)! I'm not sure but hopefully it can simply be disabled just like touchflo.
From trying the magic I just love the flexibility of Android. there really is an app for everything, not just what Apple allows! They seem to have learned most of the right lessons from the iPhone too.
Regarding multitasking, while it's not a true solution until Apple implements it there is a little util named 'backgrounder' on Cydia for jailbroken apps running either OS 2 or 3. It works very well and has the advantage of allowing you to specifically dictate which app goes into the background by holding down the home button for just a second before going to home screen. You do the same to disable background running. I use it frequently for IM apps.
did anybody else try and click "play" on that quicktime screenshot?
I think this review accurately evaluates the position of the iphone lineup in today's mobile-phone market. No one really likes to say it out loud that the iphone is the best thing that happened to the industry since the exclusion of protruding antennas, because doing so will spark endless debates from all present day users who fail to realize that the iphone is that big a game changer!
Just imagine what todays flagship phones would have looked like if apple had not entered the industry. Three way sliding, 52-key Nokia N99 anyone???
Given the previous editorial commentary on iPhone pricing in combination with network pricing, I really do question the 8/10 for value.
I'd prefer the flexibility of the Hero, and indeed have pre-ordered one. Roll on Friday.
At the end of the day it's horses for courses. I really don't see the point of a touchscreen in a phone and can't live without some kind of physical keyboard. Also the FM transmitter in my Nokia N78 is used daily in my car. I'm happy that I have a phone that I think is perfect and I don't look the same as everyone else :-)
i cant believe the review did not mention battery life !??! or did i completely miss that part , i bought a 3gs on day 1 , the battery life is awful , i had 2g iphone before that , i've been using my iphone this morning , 10 min wifi surf , location turned off , no blue tooth , 2 min phone call , battery dropped 90 % after a full charge over night !!!! not happy !!! im booked in for friday to visit a apple store , i love this phone , but the battery life is giving me cause for concern , lots of other people complaining about this issue also....some people are saying it will be fixed in os3.2 , but lets see what the apple store has to say....
@just wondering - I think there must be something wrong with your handset. I've been using the 3GS and my 3G in tandem for the past couple of weeks, and there's little between them when it comes to battery life. I've certainly never needed to charge it up part way through the day. That said, I do tend to charge my phone overnight when I go to sleep, which means I rarely have problems with the battery running low.
Good review. Seems balanced. However, what a lot of people seem to have forgotten is that this is first and foremost, a phone! I only know one person who has a 3GS, and he reports that its a great gadget, but the phone aspect is awful - not loud enough, cuts out all the time, and difficult to use without accidentally touching buttons on the screen. This fella's not a techie in the slightest and I imagine his experience may be typical for the kind of person who does not read this site!
@Bluepork: While I agree it can sometimes be difficult to handle the phone without touching the screen and activating something, in every other aspect it's a superb phone. Call quality is excellent, I've never had mine cut out, and it seems plenty loud enough to me but I appreciate it may not get loud enough if you're hard of hearing but I'm sure the same could do said of many phones.
I upgraded from the 3G to the 3GS. FWIW, anyone who uses their 3G heavily will find the speed increase of the 3GS more than worth the money.
Just like the 3G I have no problems with battery life, the phone element (which is excellent), or anything else for that matter. That said, dodgy units always exist for any device - fortunately Apple will readily replace anything not performing as expected, just like they did with the original iPhone and the 3G.
Excellent review and I agree with 'LaughingJohn ' - it's a case in point that Apple has single handedly kicked the phone market right in the knackers like nobody has done before and testament to this is the fact that nearly every single hardware manufacturer is doing a me2 product. They may well create phones with different specs and capabilities but you can't ignore that fact that before Apple decided to make a phone device interaction and usability was poorly implemented in many cases and features which may well have sold the device were simply unusable (synching my Sammy U600 was like flossing my ass with barbed wire).
As for the battery life - as with all devices like the iPhone the way we look at batteries has to change because they are no longer just phones. This shift in device DNA has happened but we still think of them as 'phones' that do more not tiny computers that have a phone onboard. Thinking about them like this allows you to see the battery life in a more accurate way.
I initially was less than impressed with the battery life but one thing that I noted was that I have NEVER fiddled, played, used, a mobile phone so much as I have the iPhone. Whether it was to just play games, surf the web, read emails, text friends, listen to music, control my iMac music library whilst I was in the garden, show friends photos or actually use it as a phone, I can say categorically that no other phone I have ever had has has so much use in such a short space of time. Take this into account and you realise that ok, perhaps that battery life isn't amazing but do you ever put it down and let it sit there like your old phone? I doubt it.

Bonnie Tyler moment, arf arf!
As a 3G user, I've come to my own conclusion that its not worth breaking my remaining contract for an early 3GS, so in agreement with Riyan there.
Gareth is spot on, whether you are on a bus or waiting to pick up a friend in the car, or even spending ten minutes doing what comes naturally in the morning, its hard to resist not checking email, having a blast on Need For Speed, texting, or just a quick surf. Or is that just me.....
Jim, I 'd assume it's a common aspect of iphones and other user friendly smart phones in general. Slap on top of this this software upgrade cycle and the app store (or whatever other people call theirs) and you have a piece of personal technology that is allowing you to do some of the things you would normally only consider doing with a computer (netbook, laptop, or big box).
scrabble® app gets a tanning before bed most nights.
I'm willing to admit I used to be an apple hater
Having used my girlfriends iphone 3g numerous times over the past 6 months I can honestly say I want one and am considering paying off my 3 contract to get one of the 32gb 3gs
However all I would ask is that it would also need to replace my 16gb flash mp3 player for train journeys etc.
Sometimes I will listen to my mp3 player for 6 hours a day. Would I get a days life from the 3gs with wifi/bluetooth switched off and 3g on using google sync plus the 6 hours of mp3 listening?
I have tried and been very impressed by the iPhone 3Gs, however while I wouldn't use the F-word (f*nb*y) I do think the rating is a bit high. I appreciate that your emphasis is on user interface rather than features, but still the hardware could be better. Take the camera - even if we're only filming drunken antics, why would we not want the quality to be better? In any case, I would guess a lot more people want a good still and video camera than are interested in Nike+!
Most of all I agree with some of the previous posters - I don't see how it can realistically get high marks for value. No doubt the phone itself is impressive, but it's currently only available on O2 contracts which, as has been reported on this site, are very poor value. In contrast, I managd to get the Samsung I8910hd you mentioned (which in a number of ways is better than the iPhone, even if the interface is not as good), for free on a pretty generous contract from another large provider.
Yes, the iPhone is very good, but I wouldn't say it's undoubtedly the "best consumer handset available".
@dave: You'll be absolutely fine getting 6 hours mp3 listening. You will need to charge it come the end of the day but it won't cut out mid-afternoon. I regularly listen to my 3G all day at work and have no problems.
I wouldn't call myself an Apple fanatic, but it seems to me that the case for the iPhone got a whole lot stronger. I'm quite a heavy user of the picture taking ability on my current phone, LG Renoir, so I'm not quite sure if I could live without the flash. Still, my current contract runs out May 2010, hopefully the iPhone OS will have matured a little further and the decision over which device to get next will be much easier.

- - What is important, the size of the board or the weight limitation of the board? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/37635-what-important-size-board-weight-limitation.html)
What is important, the size of the board or the weight limitation of the board?
Well after much reading and researching on this forum and any forums that has info about the products, I just read myself in to more confusion. What is the most important aspect in choosing a board, the size of the board or the weight limitation of the board? I am a beginner hopefully moving into an intermediate level. I currently ride a Flow Merc 151 all mountain directional board, flex rating is 2 out of 5. I am 54, 156lbs, stance width 18, with an inseam of 29, mostly stay on Green and Easy Blue groom runs. With my size, it seems that a good size for me would be 148cm-150cm size board, but some boards on the 148 size range has a weight limit of 140 pounds which I exceed. I am looking for a board that is stable at speed and all around good board for different conditions from light power to ice. I dont do too much park, but I will do easy 2 4 foot jumps. I narrowed my choices to the fallowing boards.
Rome Agent Rocker in 151 maybe to big for me?
Salomon Drift Rocker in 148 I exceed the weight limit (140lbs.) for the board.
Capita Horrorscope FK 147 or 149
Forum Destroyer 148 with Chilly Dog.
Forum Youngblood 148 with Chilly Dog
Ride Machete 152 this is the smallest size they make. Is it to big for me?
I'd put you on a 155/158.
Also, I wouldn't be looking at super flexible boards, if you're not very interested in butters / rails. They will chatter at speed and will not hole an edge well.
You should be getting a med-stiff board, something targeted more at All Mountain / Big Mountain.
I'm not familiar with many of those boards but WWW I know is a noodle. And any board will be too soft if you're in the upper end of the weight range for it.
Machete 155 would be okay but 158 would be better.
You will probably want to go with more of a 152-154 Range. With those shorter boards you won't have as much control. Also if you don't plan on riding park much you will want a medium stiffness board. Don't get one that is too stiff though because who knows you might change your mind.
What is it that you don't like about your current board? You might be better off riding it until you advance to the point where you know exactly what you want in your next board. Weight is a primary factor in choosing a board but at 5'4" you height is also important, if you get a board that is too long you may not be able to set the stance narrow enough for you.
I agree with cifex. I'm not sure what made you think you should be in the 148-150 range as that seems way too small to me.
I think technically based on weight you probably fall in a range of like 152-158-ish. Generally, you'd go to the short end of your range if your a freestyle/park rider and the higher end if you are a carver/freerider. You claim to be the latter.
Most importantly, you should fall somewhere in the weight range (preferably the middle) designated by the manufacture for a given board - that is the most accurate gauge of how the board is intended to perform.
The other issue, as cifex mentioned, is the flexibility of the board. A soft/flexible board will benefit you only if you are riding a certain way (tricks), whereas a moderately stiffer board will provide more stability.
I'm not fmailiar with many of the boards you mention, but am a fan of Ride and know the Machete gets good reviews. If you look at the specs for the machete on their website, you actually fall in the mid/upper range for the 155 and right in the middle of the 158 size. U
Thanks for the reply. That totally changes the boards that I have been doing research on. Most of the guys I talked to at different snowboard shops sized me up by just placing a board in front of me. A 148cm board was recommended since it was by my nose area and that would be a good size for me. They said that if I go any bigger, I may not be able to control the board. With a board size of 155 to 156 it is as tall as I am..haha..One of them also suggested that I use the Burton board finder. From that, the website suggested a 148 Custom Flying V up to a Burton 150 Joystick. From there, I sort of looked at similar board specs from Transworld Good Wood Test Results.
My concern is that with my short stance width of 18" for my bindings, a larger board will put me above that. I am at the shortest setting on my current board.
The board I have now is working for me, I just wanted to take advantage of end of season sales to get a new board. I guess the smart thing to do is to hold off and see how I progress. Again thank you for your opinions, time, and suggestions, they are greatly appreciated.
You're pretty heavy so unless that 148 is really stiff, you should prolly go a little longer, like 152+ at least, especially if you want to basically free-ride. If you're mostly into riding fast, I'd go for the stiffer board. You will not have as much control over it for now because you are not that good yet, but as you improve and get more comfortable at high speeds, you will futureproof your setup. In general, if you're not into the "park" and are aiming for speed, just go stiffer...unless you don't really snowboard that much that it will take you a long time to get to that level. That's your call whether you want to try medium first. And if you get "really good", a stiffer board is better for long jumps too in the park. Though normally, the recommended progression is to start small. But heck, if you're so fast and fly over declines at 40 mph and land perfectly...it's not much of a difference going over 60 foot booters. ;)
If you like ice, look into "magnetraction". I have one of those boards and it's pretty good. Like my park RC (reverse camber) board is better on icy terrain than my stiff C board and RC and soft usally means crappy edge hold. But magnetraction smokes the ice.
Also, I'm about your height but weigh much less than you and shoppies had recommened that I get a 156 because I told them I can do basically any double black diamond run. So they prolly said that because they didn't think you'd be going that fast or whatever at your level. But I recently got a 148 anyway because I going for park and I don't really like to go fast. I feel I'm wasting my ticket if I get down that fast and it's not that "fun" vs. freestyle for me anyways.
Plus, if you're asking them for which size you're probably still pretty new and you won't be able to tell the difference as much.
Thanks Guys, looks like I still have a lot to learn. I am still a beginner, just been on the slopes about 15 times, been driving every weekend, 400 miles round trip to get to the slopes to practice. Anyway, thanks for your time for posting and pointing me in the correct direction.
We are having a snow storm this week in Northern California, it should be a great 3 day weekend on the slopes.

Second-rounder among 11 draftees to sign
Second-rounder among 11 draftees to sign
The group of players includes three prospects selected in the first 10 rounds, most notably Chad Bettis (2nd round), a closer out of Texas Tech.
Bettis, who worked as a closer for Team USA and has a fastball that tops off at 98 mph, led the Red Raiders in saves (10) and strikeouts (102) in 85 2/3 innings this year. He is expected to make his professional debut for Class A Short-Season Tri-City.
The Rockies also agreed to terms with Jared Simon (6th round, OF, Tampa), Corey Dickerson (8th, OF, Meridian Community College) and Jordan Ballard (33rd, 1B, Virginia Military Institute).
"It shows you their eagerness to get out there and play," said Rockies vice president of scouting Bill Schmidt.
Mark Tracy, Rockies manager Jim Tracy's son and a 22nd round choice out of Duquesne, also agreed to terms.

Here we are at the end of the month again and I have several interesting recipes for you.
A reader emailed me and asked me about Mr. Gene Baskett's Apple Banana Cherry Nut Bread from a recipe last year. It seems the original recipe didn't specify the type of cherries. The Baskett family said it's chopped maraschino cherries, the type often used for ice cream sundaes and such. This would be an excellent time to make some of these loaves and freeze them. The recipe calls for apples, which are in season.
There are a couple vegetable recipes, Paula Deen's Tomato Pie and Fried Corn. At this time of year, gardens have just about stopped producing, but you might still get some tomatoes at a farmers market or the grocery.
The final recipe, Banana Split Pie, is reminiscent of teen years and your favorite ice cream place. When preparing, include the young ones at home, the steps are easy enough for them to help.
Remember, you always can submit a recipe for Recipe Roundup or if you have lost one of your family favorites, let me know and I will search for you.

Apple Banana Cherry Nut Bread
3 eggs
1-1/2 cups of sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups peeled and chopped apples
2 cups mashed bananas
1 cup of chopped maraschino cherries
1 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; stir into the egg mixture just until moistened. Add lemon juice, stir in apples and bananas. Add cherries and nuts, stir until completely mixed, let set for 10 to 15 minutes.
Spoon into two greased 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from loaf pans. Wrap in plastic wrap and aluminum foil while still hot and freeze. This locks in the flavors of the bread.
Yields: 2 loaves

State Wildlife Grants
Crucial Funding for Wildlife Conservation
State Wildlife Grants: The Nation's Core Program for Preventing Wildlife from Becoming Endangered
What Are State Wildlife Grants?
The State and Tribal Wildlife Grants program -- often referred to as State Wildlife Grants -- provides federal dollars to every state and territory to support cost-effective conservation aimed at preventing wildlife from becoming endangered. Congress created the program in 2000 as part of the Conservation Trust Fund. Funds appropriated under the State Wildlife Grants program are allocated to the states according to a formula that takes into account each state's size and population.
America's Wildlife at Stake
United States laws and policies place the primary responsibility for wildlife management in the hands of the 50 states. State fish and wildlife agencies have a lengthy success record of conserving game species, thanks to the contributions of hunter and angler license fees and federal excise taxes.
But 90 percent of our nation's wildlife is not hunted or fished for. The result? There is a serious gap in wildlife conservation funding, and thousands of species are falling through the cracks. More than 1,000 species are already listed as federally threatened and endangered, with many more under consideration.
Funding for On-the-ground Wildlife Conservation
State Wildlife Grants support projects that prevent wildlife from declining to the point of being endangered. The goal of the program is to keep common species common. Projects supported by State Wildlife Grants restore degraded habitat, reintroduce native wildlife, develop partnerships with private landowners, educate the public, and collect data to find out more about declining species. Statewide strategic plans developed by each state ensure that funds are spent wisely and effectively on actions to restore and enhance wildlife populations and habitat. Learn about Georgia's State Wildlife Action Plan.
Fiscally Responsible Conservation
State Wildlife Grants save taxpayers millions of dollars. Taking action to conserve wildlife before it becomes endangered is environmentally sound and fiscally responsible. Once a species drops to the point of potential extinction, recovery efforts become risky and expensive. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. A non-federal match requirement assures local ownership and leverages funds to support conservation. For each federal dollar appropriated, double or more funds are generated from other sources.
The Outlook
Although enjoying broad bipartisan support during the early 2000s, the recession that followed led to cuts in many federal programs. State Wildlife Grants were sliced by more than 30 percent from fiscal years 2010 through 2012.
The Teaming With Wildlife coalition – made up of more than 6,400 groups, including hunters and anglers, environmentalists, and tourism and other nature-related businesses – works to support State Wildlife Grants, preserving the program's conservation impact on the future of America's wildlife.

If DNA is the blueprint of biology, then proteins are the general
contractors, workers, power tools and half of the building
materials. Yet the methods for studying proteins remain cumbersome
even as genomic tools become faster and more powerful.
A team of scientists from Sweden aim to fill that gap with an
ambitious project: a high-throughput, antibody-based portrait of the
human proteome (the set of all proteins made by human beings). The
first fruit of their labor is the freely available Human Protein
Atlas, initially released in August 2005, which describes the
location and quantity of about 700 proteins in 48 tissues and 20
types of cancer. The project, led by Mathias Uhlén and based
at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and Uppsala
University, is planned eventually to include nearly every human protein.
The atlas (www.proteinatlas.org) consists of
photomicrographs made with a technique called immunohistochemistry,
in which an antibody labels its target, or epitope, on a thin slice
of tissue (or in this case, a "tissue microarray" of up to
1,000 samples at a time). This method pinpoints the protein to a
specific compartment of a specific cell in a specific tissue. More
than 500 high-resolution, high-magnification images are available
for each antibody.
Most of the antibodies are generated from PrESTs, or protein epitope
signature tags, that are made in vitro from predicted
coding regions in the human genome. The purified
"monospecific" antibodies are rigorously screened for
sensitivity and selectivity. Some PrESTs correspond to well-studied
genes, including ones implicated in cancer and other diseases. But
others are more mysterious, representing genes that have never been investigated.
For example, the unnamed gene NP_443138.1 on chromosome 22 encodes a
protein with unknown function and no clear relatives in other
species, but its pattern of distribution is fascinating. Above right
is the standard summary of staining intensity for this protein in
various tissues and tumors. Red indicates the highest concentration
of the protein, and orange and yellow signify lesser amounts. White
shows a negative result; black denotes missing images. A small
sample of the stained tissue sections is shown at left, in which
brown marks the presence of the NP_443138.1 protein and blue is a
general stain used to see the surrounding tissue. The protein is
found in (from left to right) Purkinje cells in the
cerebellum, skeletal muscle fibers, the outer layer of skin and
subpopulations of tumor cells in cancers of the head and neck.
Describing protein location is only the first step. The project's
eventual goal is to use the antibodies as tools to explore the
structures, functions and interactions of proteins. Skål!
