Off and on, I've been going to the SEMA show since it was held at the Anaheim Convention Center, and their offices were in a bank on Tyler Avenue in El Monte, California. of course this is all from memory and maybe none of it is true. I guess if I wasn't so lazy I could check out SEMA's member services and substantiate my claims.
Okay, okay, okay. I just checked it out and the SEMA show was held at the Anaheim Convention Center from 1974-77, and I didn't get the part about El Monte. That's enough foolishness, let's move on the SEMA show for 2007 and I'll tell you guys about all the neat stuff that applies to the custom classic truck market.
The big news was from Dynacorn with the debut of an all-steel prototype '55-59 big-window Chevy cab. At the time of the show Dynacorn was still in talks with GM regarding licensing agreements, but that's something they already had to address when they introduced their '47-53 five-window cab, so we think it's pretty safe to say it's a go.
After Dynacorn, we moved on to checking out what Jim and the crew from CPP had to offer and got a firsthand look at their new modular spindle for '60-87 Chevy C-10s. From CPP I wandered off and ran into my friend Jon Kosmoski at his booth for house of Kolor. While I was talking to Jon a custom painter walked-up and asked if he could have his picture taken with Jon. Jon quickly obliged and when I offered to hold the copy of CCT I had just given Jon, he held it up in front of him for the picture … I thought that was pretty cool, thanks Jon.
For 409 Chevy fans, Edelbrock made the announcement they were going into production to make aluminum heads for 348 and 409-inch Chevrolets. When I got back I called to get a little more information and asked if Edelbrock had any plans to manufacture Y-block Ford heads, and got a no. If you're a Y-block fan e-mail Edelbrock and inquire, I'd love to put a pair on my 272 and 292. The Raven Black '57 T-Bird is an F-model with a huffer, I'd also like to slap a ProCharger on one of my Ys. Well, I guess dreaming is what SEMA is all about. The shot of my black Jimmy is in front of a gas-station in Barstow, California, where I waited for hours before a ChP officer told me the place was closed for business. After that he searched my truck and found nothing but a king-sized jug of Metamucil. on that note, I think it's time to go.

You gain money in World of Warcraft by completing some of the quests (some of them have no monetary reward associated with them), killing mobs and looting their corpses, selling excess inventory items to the vendor NPCs or on the Auction House, or learning one or more professions. Don't forget to pick a profession and skill it up as much as you can in the early levels. Trying to max out your profession after you hit a very high level (60+) is a tedious and very undesirable process. As you go up in level, both the quest rewards and the money from mobs increase, as a general rule. Also, humanoid and undead mobs drop loot for more cash per kill than any of the beast type mobs who aren't quest-related. Upon completion of a quest at your maximum level (60 during original, unexpanded WoW, or Vanilla WoW, 70 during The Burning Crusade, 80 during Wrath of the Lich King, 85 during Cataclysm, 90 during Mists of Pandaria, and 100 during Warlords of Draenor) you receive a monetary reward instead of experience. The same rules apply, you get more money if the quest was more difficult.
Effective use of the auction house can be a very lucrative source of income even for low level characters. Many experienced and wealthy players wish to experiment with crafting professions on lower level characters, but they don't want to go through the trouble of gathering the materials in newbie zones. Therefore, you might be surprised by how much you can charge for non-gray items that drop off of low level mobs. Boar meat and linen cloth can net you a lot more money than normal questing. In addition, consider picking up two out of the three gathering professions (skinning, mining, and herbalism) in order to sell the material.
Learning a crafting profession is more fun for many players than gathering, but making money with crafts can be more difficult. Raw materials (herbs, gems, ore, and skins) will often sell for more money than finished products that you can create with a tradeskill (armor, weapons, glyphs, potions, and other items). You can search the auction house to discover how much is a reasonable rate to charge for your items. Remember that prices can change as a response to supply and demand, so it is possible to improve your profits by holding onto your products and timing the market. When you get more experienced in the game, don't forget to investigate useful AddOns to give you that extra edge.
Historically, service professions, like Enchanting were difficult to make money with, but with the addition of vellums to apply your enchants and new tools in the profession windows for selling in the trade channel, these professions have found some new life as money makers.
In addition, there are always the Trade Channel (only in cities) and the auction house (which appear in all racial capital cities, including Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff, Silvermoon, and Undercity for Horde and Darnassus, Ironforge, Exodar, and Stormwind for Alliance) where you can hawk your wares. All auction houses associated with a particular faction are linked, and there are also neutral auction houses which are also linked. The neutral auction houses are more expensive to post for sale (on the order of three times), and are not linked to either of the primary factions.

Cutting, Coring, Breaking & Removal
Penhall Scanning Accuracy
[Penhall] was a huge factor in ensuring our coring program was a success and most of that is a direct reflection of the accuracy of your [Penhall] scanning.
Contact Your Local Penhall Office Today
Concrete Cutting, Coring, GPR Scanning and X-Ray
Penhall was founded in 1957 and has become the largest and most trusted provider of concrete cutting, GPR scanning and X-Ray services in North America. We offer an extensive range of options to help customers from homeowners to the largest industrial companies.
Concrete Cutting
Flat Sawing
With our flat saws, we can cut anywhere from 0-26 inches deep through both asphalt and concrete. Our saws cut with horsepower at an output of 44 to 90 hp. with a max speed of 15000 rpm.
Wall Sawing
Generally used for HVAC openings, doorway openings, and et cetera, our wall saws are precise. They can be operated remotely and can cut anywhere from 25-33 inches deep without overcuts, which is especially useful in large jobs like nuclear power plants or a dams where the concrete is extremely thick and otherwise difficult to penetrate.
Wire Sawing
We use wire sawing when our other saws aren't as well suited for the job. Our wire saws use a pulley system that pulls our diamond-infused wire and subsequently cuts whatever we need it to. Generally, we would wrap the wire around a pipe or box in order to cut it, and if we can wrap the wire around an object, it can be cut.
Hand Sawing
We utilize a variety of handsaws ranging from electric, gas, and hydraulic powered. Primarily used for small spaces, corners, and small openings, we use handsaws generally inside to cut concrete at slabs around 14x14 and 16x16.
Concrete Breaking and Removal
We provide an extensive range of concrete breaking and removal services for projects for homeowners to commercial and industrial customers. We frequently use backhoes and bobcats to complete your demo which is more efficient on a smaller scale while still getting the job done right. Every Penhall branch has experienced professionals and a fleet of modern best in-class equipment.
Concrete Coring
In order to core concrete, we use a drill motor that has a diamond infused core bit. In the LA Basin area, we have drilled a core 66 inches in diameter, and can drill anywhere from 50-100 feet deep with the use of continuous tubing technology.
Concrete Scanning
At Penhall, we use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) in order to scan concrete before we cut or core. This allows us to avoid rebar, post tension cables, conduit, pipes, and wires to provide the safest and most precise cut. Ground Penetrating Radar is a mature & cost effective technology for concrete imagery and it requires only access from one side of the slab.
Utility Locating
We can locate service utilities such as gas lines, sewer lines, underground storage tanks and PVC pipes and communications lines on private residential, commercial or industrial properties. Additionally, we can estimate the depth of metallic and non-metallic objects using GPR.
X-Ray Imaging
With our state of the art radiography equipment, we can provide concrete x-ray imaging to give the clearest indication of hidden objects and hazards before cutting or coring commences on any project.
Fiber Reinforced Polymer
Protect against damages from earthquakes and natural disasters by having Penhall apply fiber reinforced polymer to your existing structures. This durable, non-intrusive solution is a valuable component of any seismic retrofit plan.
Bridge Services
Penhall has extensive experience of providing bridge services and repairs in high-profile, traffic congested areas. We have the expertise to recognize problems and devise safe, affordable solutions that will preserve the life of bridges and increase the safety of drivers and pedestrians.
Concrete Diamond Grinding
Penhall is the largest provider of concrete grinding services in North America.
- We offer Mainline Grinding to ensure that highways and pavements meet tolerance requirements.
- We also offer "corrective grinding" at Penhall to help finish pavements and provide a cost effective solution to create a smooth finish for our customers and eliminate unsafe surface bumps.
Concrete Grooving
With the use of G-38 and PC-3000 Highway Groovers, we make all kinds of pavement safer. We provide grooving for airports, highways, and bridges, providing a smoother, quieter ride for drivers while simultaneously increasing traction, eliminating otherwise necessary tapers and lane closures, and decreasing the danger of hydroplaning.
Structural demolition is a tough and often dangerous job. However, Penhall Company makes sure that we do the job quickly, professionally, and most importantly, safely. We employ robotic hammering techniques and deploy large excavators to demolish structures industrial and commercial, maritime, and public, and tear down anything from harbors and ports to bridges and highways, and even nuclear power plants.
Our service branches offer an extensive range of equipment for the construction industry. Fulfill your rental needs with the same quality and service you've come to expect from Penhall.

Afghan medical students in Pakistan stage peaceful protest
Afghan medical students in Pakistan stage peaceful protest
KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghan students on Friday staged a peaceful protest for their registration in the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PM&DC)
In line with a scholarship scheme of the Pakistan government, doctors and medical students from the neighbouring country were admitted to Baqai Medical University in the port city of Karachi.
However, the PM&DC is not registering the Afghan students, who have graduated from the university and around 150 others still enrolled there, the protestors alleged.
The Baqai Medical University has granted admissions to Afghan students above the permissible limit in violation of rules. Subsequently, the council has refused to register Afghan students.
On behalf of fellow students. Nisar Ahmad Salar told Pajhwok Afghan News the university administration had been draggin its feet on the issue, thereby creating uncertainty about their future.
If their just demand was not met, they would continue with demonstrations, he warned, seeking an early settlement of the problem.
On the other hand, Afghanistan's Deputy Ambassador Zardasht Shams said they had launched efforts to address the issue. They were in touch with senior Pakistani officials, including the university authorities, he added.
The students complained they could not complete their house jobs, post-graduation studies, practice their profession and verify their degrees in the absence of PM&DC registration, .
They said the issue had been shared with the Higher Education Commission, the Consulate and Embassy of Afghanistan. But the problem is yet to be unresolved.

First Corinthians Chapter One Exegetical Commentary Series
(Rate Now)
Format: Trade Paperback
Pub. Date: Mar. 01, 1972
Retailer Locations
The emergence of a Christian church in as sinful an environment as the city of Corinth was in New Testament times created many internal problems of behavior for the members of that early church. Although each new believer came to Christ through faith, each one's cultural and traditional backgrounds remained a stigma. Paul endeavored to solve the many problems they faced as well as set some standards for conduct for these new Christians.
Because many of the issues that faced that early church are still prevalent today, the Church must understand the need to address sin and the issues that divide and disrupt the growth of the body of Christ. Today, society tries to use subtlety to get believers in Christ to accept sinful practices that serve to polarize Christians from one another.
Meet the Authors
Spiros Zodhiates was born to Greek parents on the island of Cyprus. After completing his Greek education, he attended the American University in Cairo, Egypt, received his Th.B. degree from the National Bible Institute (now Shelton College) in New York, and his M.A. from New York University. In 1978 he earned his Doctor of Theology degree from Luther Rice Seminary of Jacksonville, Florida. He was also the recipient of several honorary doctorates.
In 1946, Dr. Zodhiates came to the United States at the invitation of the American Mission to the Greeks (AMG), Inc. At that time, there were two part-time employees working out of a one-room office in New York City. Initially serving as Secretary General, he became President of the organization in 1966 and served in this capacity until his retirement.. Now known as AMG (Advancing the Ministries of the Gospel) International, the ministry is involved in evangelistic and relief endeavors around the world. Ministry headquarters have been located in Chattanooga, Tennessee since 1978.
Throughout his six decades of leadership, Dr. Zodhiates demonstrated a profound commitment to the Word of God and a singular focus on accomplishing his calling faithfully. His style was marked by frugal stewardship, great enthusiasm, entrepreneurial courage and unexpected generosity.
Dr. Zodhiates is a recognized authority on the Greek New Testament. His works include an edition of the Modern Greek New Testament and the Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible. He authored numerous exegetical books and booklets in both the Greek and English languages, founded and published Pulpit Helps magazine, a monthly tabloid for ministers and Bible teachers, and taught for many years from the original Greek New Testament text on the New Testament Light radio and television programs.
Through Dr. Zodhiates' prayer and effort, multitudes of children were cared for, many hundreds of national workers were trained and sponsored in the Gospel ministry, and countless new believers were introduced to the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Though his burden to bring the Gospel to the world remained undiminished, Dr. Zodhiates completed the transfer of leadership responsibilities to current AMG President Paul Jenks and had retired from active ministry by 2005.
After a long and fruitful ministry, Dr. Spiros Zodhiates entered into the presence of his Lord on October 10, 2009.

IBM Cognos BI is a suite of Business Intelligence most used. It is a fairly complete BI software, yet manageable, and one of the BI market leaders. The main applications are used from a web portal that controls the Business Intelligence Server, which is the heart of the tool.
Each application is designed to cover a type of needs that often occur in such environments. Most handles 100% from the web browser, both to develop and design reports, events and metrics to consult or analysis tasks.
These are the main tools provided in the suite:
- IBM Cognos Query Studio
- IBM Cognos Report Studio
- IBM Cognos Analysis Studio
- IBM Cognos Event Studio
- IBM Cognos Metric Studio
- IBM Cognos Powerplay Transformer
- IBM Cognos Framework Manager
- IBM Cognos Planning
- IBM Cognos TM1
IBM Cognos Query Studio
It is the simplest tool and could be considered rather as a complement. Its goal is to allow the user to perform simple to quickly resolve specific issues that may arise queries.
It allows access to the same data structure used by other tools, whether it is a relational model as if the structure is dimensional.
With Query Studio can create a report in seconds by dragging fields from the Data Explorer to the report design area. Also it lets you apply filters, sorting, grouping of data operations and even create graphs. It also has formatting options, although quite limited.
Where is more limited it is precisely in formatting the report, and the creation of complex calculated fields, using benchmarks and many other advanced options for which is to be used Cognos Report Studio.
IBM Cognos Report Studio
It is the main application for creating reports from IBM Cognos BI. It resembles Query Studio, but is much more complete.
On the left shows an object browser from which you can access the data structure, and other insertable objects in reports. To the right is the report design area where you can drag these objects and go and composing the structure.
These objects can be of different types: data source, specifics of the report and design tools. Each object that is embedded in the report has its configurable properties, and through these you can reach a very high level of customization, both in the data shown in the design of the format.
It can work both structures of relational and with dimensional data structures, just keep in mind that depending on the type of origin there aredifferences in the properties applicable to the data, and even in behavior in the design area . Although not required to do so, to show dimensional structure data, it is more appropriate to use crosstab type reports. You can choose from several types of basic structure for reporting.
There are different types of graphs, and even maps that can be included in reports, display or store individually to form part of a scorecard that would be displayed in the portal.
The options of using parameters and prompts are also fairly complete, although how they are defined is not very intuitive and is somewhat cumbersome.
As in all these types of tools, you can define filters, sorting, grouping and working with aggregates, create subtotals, calculated fields, conditional formatting. You can also enable the drill up and drill down, and using drill through.
Consultations done with the operational origins SQL and MDX dimensional models used. The resulting query can be viewed and even edited and changed directly.
IBM Cognos Analysis Studio
Analysis Studio is similar to Query Studio function, but for multidimensional sources. This tool allows navigation structures such as multidimensional OLAP cubes that do not necessarily have to be of Cognos BI. You can also attack relational data sources, provided they are dimensionally modeled from IBM Cognos Framework Manager.
The main purpose of this software is to enable the business analyst can 'navigate' by the data loaded into the dimensional structures without relying on IT support area. As announced by the manufacturer using Analysis Studio a business user can perform complex analysis and comparative data to discover trends, risks and opportunities.
The work area is similar to that of Cognos Query Studio and Cognos Report Studio and standard options for creating reports are very similar to Query Studio, applying filters, sorting, grouping operations data, creating charts , etc.
It also offers more functionality dimensional oriented sources, such as navigation with drill up / drill down or filter the creation of context.
IBM Cognos Event Studio
This is the tool of notifications and alerts from IBM Cognos BI suite.
With Event Studio agents are checking the data or KPI's defined are created, and detect major events for the business when certain values are reached or certain conditions are met.
At that time the tool proceeds to execute actions or tasks that have been associated with the events. You can run or distribute reports, generating emails, communicate with other software tools, or other agents to run jobs, call stored procedures database, or even call a Web Service.
Once constructed agents Event Studio, with the same environment Scheduler used to schedule automated execution of reports, and periodic program execution thereof is controlled.
IBM Cognos Metric Studio
It is the software that is used for the construction of metrics and dashboards.
With Metric Studio are defined KPIs or business performance Key Indicators, are organized and relate to each other, they are associated with different profiles, and monitor, allowing compare all objectives moment versus performance, and define automated actions such as notifications in case of deviations.
With these metrics dashboards that enable operational level to monitor performance against objectives, and strategic level "map" of corporate strategy and facilitate its transmission to all levels of the organization are built.
The metric can be constructed from different data sources, such as OLAP cubes, relational databases, spreadsheets, text files, and even values manually informed, and the tool features wizards to facilitate the construction of metrics and dashboards.
IBM Cognos Powerplay Transformer
The above tools provide access to OLAP cubes as a data source. BI software IBM Cognos Powerplay Transformer is the tool to build OLAP cubes, called IBM Cognos PowerCube. Although reporting tools IBM Cognos BI can work in and attack ROLAP relational databases, to perform analytical tasks it is often most efficient to use an OLAP cube as a data source, ie work in MOLAP. With a data volume controlled response times in the use of reports can be much better.
With Powerplay data sources are defined, the multidimensional structure which will shape the cube is modeled, validated, and proceeds to its construction. Learn Cognos.
This tool is installed in client mode, not accessible via web. It is used independently to generate cubes, which is attacking the other web tools.
IBM Cognos Framework Manager
It is Cognos BI software that is used to build the necessary metadata for all other work. It not often mentioned as a product because it is using the technical area to create the packages metadata reporting tools consult to show the business user an intelligible structure, and allow create a navigation tree just by consulting data systems origin.

Mercury glass, or silvered glass, was first made in the 1850s. It lost favor for a while but became popular again about 1910 and again in 2010. Mercury glass is glass that is blown, is silver-colored from mercury or other substances, has silver between the layers, and then sealed. It looks like a piece of silver. It was copied again in 2017.

The aims of the project
To highlight concrete examples of situations where people with Autism, including Aspergers syndrome, have demonstrated emotion or empathy with particular focus on situations in which those emotions may not have been recognised.
It is hoped that parents, siblings, family, friends and co-workers of people on the autism spectrum will be able to use some of these examples to better understand the emotional communication that is taking place in their everyday lives.
The Posts so farPlease have a look at these amazing posts, leave comments, like, Google+, tweet and share around. We want to reach as many people as possible. Also; if I've missed anyone, please let me know.

Sticky Platelets in a Pipeline (Part 2)
In my last post I showed the infrastructure and logic of a simple simulation of some sticky blood platelets moving through a blood vessel. I added the video to the end of that post; in this post I will explain how the visualisation was implemented.
In most CHP simulations there is a barrier (typically named tick) that is used to keep all the simulation entities synchronised, so that they all proceed through the discrete time-steps together. When it comes to visualising simulations, we could add a separate channel through which to report the status of all the simulation entities to a central drawing process, but this feels like a waste when all the processes are already synchronising together. CHP has reduce channels (many-to-one) that are the opposite of (one-to-many) broadcast channels; in a reduce channel, all the writers send in their data to a single reader, and all must send together before the communication is complete. So a simple way to achieve visualisation is to transform the tick barrier into a reduce channel, which has the same synchronisation behaviour, but that also allows data to be sent to some drawing process.
The simulation entities don't need to know the details of all this, so we hide it using a send action that I've called a tick action:
type TickAction = SendAction (Maybe (Platelet, Bool)) data Platelet = Platelet GLfloat
Note that I've also had to tweak the type in the platelet from last time to make working with the OpenGL library a bit easier. The only change to the site process (and plateletGenerator and plateletPrinter processes) is related to the change in the tick event to being an action. Here is the site process in full:
site :: Chanin (Maybe Platelet) -> Chanout (Maybe Platelet) -> TickAction -> CHP () site prevIn nextOut act = foreverFeed (maybe empty full) Nothing where tickWith = sendAction act empty = join . fst <$> offer ( (once $ readChannel prevIn) `alongside` (once $ writeChannel nextOut Nothing) `alongside` (endWhen $ tickWith Nothing) ) full platelet = do r <- liftIO $ randomRIO (0, (1::Double)) let moving = r >= 0.05 tick = tickWith (Just (platelet, moving)) mv = readChannel prevIn <&> writeChannel nextOut (Just platelet) probablyMove = if moving then fst <$> mv else stop fromMaybe (Just platelet) . fst <$> offer ((once probablyMove) `alongside` endWhen tick)
Synchronising on the tick barrier has become engaging in the tick event, where we must pass in that optional pair Maybe (Platelet, Bool); the first item is the platelet currently occupying the site, and the boolean indicates whether the platelet was willing to move on this time-step. If the site is empty, the Nothing value is sent.
The status values end up passed to the draw function, which is fairly boring (it draws a vertical bar) — we are only interested in its type:
data ScreenLocation = ScreenLocation Int deriving (Eq, Ord) draw :: ScreenLocation -> Maybe (Platelet, Bool) -> IO ()
This is called from the drawProcess:
drawProcess :: ReduceChanin (Map.Map ScreenLocation (Maybe (Platelet, Bool))) -> CHP () drawProcess input = do displayIO <- embedCHP_ $ do x <- readChannel input liftIO $ do startFrame mapM_ (uncurry draw) (Map.toList x) endFrame ...
Note that drawProcess takes the input end of a reduce channel which carries a map from ScreenLocation (a one-dimensional location in our simple example) to the Maybe (Platelet, Bool) values we saw. Reduce channels in CHP must carry a monoid type, because the monoid instance is used to join all the many values from the writers into a single value (using mappend/mconcat, but in a non-deterministic order — so make sure the monoid is commutative).
The Map type (from Data.Map) is a monoid that has union as its mappend operation. This is exactly what we want; each site process will send in a singleton Map with their specific screen location mapped to their current status, and using the monoid instance these maps will all be joined (quite safely, since each sender will have a different location, and hence a distinct key entry in its Map) into one big map, that can then be fed into the draw function as we saw above.
We don't trouble the site process with knowing its location; instead, we wrap up the location in the send action. It is easy to construct send actions that apply a function to a value before it is sent, so we apply a function that takes a status value, and turns it into the singleton Map just discussed. This is all done as part of the wiring up of the process network, based on the version from last time:
main :: IO () main = runCHP_ $ do status <- manyToOneChannel pipelineConnectCompleteT (enrollAll (return $ writer status) . zipWith withSend locationList) plateletGenerator (replicate numSites site) plateletPrinter <|*|> drawProcess (reader status) where numSites = screenSize - 2 locationList = map ScreenLocation [0..(screenSize-1)] withSend k p c = p $ makeSendAction' c (Map.singleton k)
The withSend function does the wrapping of the modification function with the send action. Each site is given a location from the list, including the generator and printer processes; otherwise this function is the same as the version from part 1.
I've omitted the OpenGL code, which is much the same as my previous examples. But here, again, is the video showing the results of the visualisation:
Choose from WMV format (suitable for Windows) or MPEG format (suitable for Linux, etc).
Turning the tick barrier into a reduce channel is often an easy way to visualise a simulation, and doesn't require too much change to the code. As I said last time, the video is nothing compared to the TUNA videos which are very impressive, and some of which were generated by distributing the code over a cluster — a topic I hope to come to in CHP at some point in the future.

Halozyme Therapeutics And Pfizer Enter Into A Collaboration To Develop And Commercialize Subcutaneous Biologics Using Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. HALO -2.65% announced today that it has entered into a worldwide Collaboration and License Agreement with Pfizer Inc. PFE +0.32% for the purpose of developing and commercializing products combining proprietary Pfizer biologics with Halozyme's Enhanze(TM) technology. Enhanze is Halozyme's proprietary drug delivery platform and is based on the Company's patented recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme (rHuPH20).
Under the terms of the agreement, Halozyme has granted to Pfizer a worldwide license to develop and commercialize products combining rHuPH20 with Pfizer proprietary biologics directed to up to six targets. Targets may be selected on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis. Halozyme will receive an initial payment of $8 million, which includes the upfront fee for exclusive licenses to two specified therapeutic targets in primary care and specialty care indications and the right for Pfizer to elect up to four additional targets upon payment of additional fees.
"I am delighted about this opportunity as it has the potential to enhance Pfizer's ability to optimize treatments for patients," said Jose Carlos Gutierrez-Ramos, Senior Vice President, Pfizer BioTherapeutics R&D.
Halozyme is eligible to receive additional payments upon Pfizer's achievement of specified development, regulatory and sales-based milestones, totaling up to $507 million. Halozyme is also entitled to royalty payments based on net sales of any licensed products.
"We look forward to working with Pfizer to apply Enhanze to these exciting targets," said Gregory I. Frost, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, Halozyme. "Enhanze enables biologics to be delivered as a simple subcutaneous injection."
About ENHANZE(TM) Enhanze is Halozyme's proprietary drug delivery platform based on the Company's patented recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme (rHuPH20). rHuPH20 acts by removing traditional limitations on the volume of biologics that can be delivered subcutaneously (just under the skin). By using Enhanze, some biologics that are administered intravenously may instead be delivered subcutaneously. Enhanze may also benefit subcutaneous biologics by reducing the need for multiple injections. This delivery may improve patient convenience and reduce overall costs to the healthcare system.
About Halozyme Halozyme Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative products that advance patient care. With a diversified portfolio of enzymes that target the extracellular matrix, the Company's research focuses primarily on a family of human enzymes, known as hyaluronidases, that increase the absorption and dispersion of biologics. Halozyme's pipeline addresses therapeutic areas, such as diabetes, oncology and dermatology that have significant unmet medical need. The Company markets HYLENEX� recombinant (hyaluronidase human injection) and has partnerships with Roche, Baxter, ViroPharma and Intrexon. Halozyme is headquartered in San Diego, CA.

ServerlessSUMMIT & Kubernetes at CloudEXPO Silicon Valley
As you know, enterprise IT conversation over the past year have often centered upon the open-source Kubernetes container orchestration system. In fact, Kubernetes has emerged as the key technology -- and even primary platform -- of cloud migrations for a wide variety of organizations. Kubernetes is critical to forward-looking enterprises that continue to push their IT infrastructures toward maximum functionality, scalability, and flexibility.
Kubernetes is critical to forward-looking enterprises that continue to push their IT infrastructures toward maximum functionality, scalability, and flexibility.
As they do so, IT professionals are also embracing the reality of Serverless architectures, which are critical to developing and operating real-time applications and services. Serverless is particularly important as enterprises of all sizes develop and deploy Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives.
Serverless and Kubernetes are great examples of continuous, rapid pace of change in enterprise IT. They also raise a number of critical issues and questions about employee training, development processes, and operational metrics.
DevOpsSUMMIT at CloudEXPO Celebrates Its 12th Event in Six Years
Cloud-Native thinking and Serverless Computing are now the norm in financial services, manufacturing, telco, healthcare, transportation, energy, media, entertainment, retail and other consumer industries, as well as the public sector.
The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch. DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential.
ServerlessSUMMIT and DevOpsSUMMIT at CloudEXPO expands the DevOps community, enable a wide sharing of knowledge, and educate delegates and technology providers alike.
There's a real need for serious conversations about Serverless and Kubernetes among the people who are doing this work and managing it.
So we are very pleased today to announce the ServerlessSUMMIT at CloudEXPO.

Recently, WebRTC has a lot of eyes from market. The use cases of WebRTC are expanding - video chat, online education, online health care etc. Not only for human-to-human communication, but also IoT use cases such as machine to human use cases can be seen recently. One of the typical use-case is remote camera monitoring. With WebRTC, people can have interoperability and flexibility for deploying monitoring service. However, the benefit of WebRTC for IoT is not only its convenience and interoperability. It has lots of potential to address current issues around IoT - security, connectivity and so on - based on P2P technology. It will become a key-component especially in edge computing use cases, in his view.

Last week Portland State University student leaders met with Tom Bull, Executive Director of the Portland State University Alumni Association (PSUAA) and Jimmy Hsu, Student Outreach Coordinator of PSUAA at the Simon Benson House to exchange ideas on how the Alumni Association can best serve students on campus who are, ultimately, future alumni.
This Student Advisory Board will meet monthly to give the PSUAA advice on what kind of events are useful to current students, inform them of potential partnerships and networking opportunities with PSU alums, and what concerns they may have about their future once they graduate from Portland State.
In attendance at this first Student Advisory Board meeting were representatives from different student organizations such as the Student Ambassador Program, ASPSU, Organization of International Students, and Greek Counsel. Other student organizations are encouraged to send representatives to the next Student Advisory Board Meeting.
So far this year the Portland State University Alumni Association hosted a successful Student Etiquette Dinner which connected alumni with students over a four-course dinner, teaching valuable networking skills and proper meal etiquette. A Student Clothing Drive is scheduled for April 24th where current students can pick up professional clothing donated by PSU alums and staff. By connecting alumni and students the PSUAA aims to foster ongoing connections with former students and Portland State University.
Located in the Simon Benson House, PSUAA calls itself "Your Home on Campus,"and that is extended to both current and former students, their families, and the community.
For more information on the Student Advisory Board, please contact Jimmy Hsu: firstname.lastname@example.com.
For information on the Student Clothing Drive, including information on how to donate, please contact Jacqueline Fitzner: firstname.lastname@example.com

Very thin cabinet depth. Excellent picture controls. Good HD picture quality.
Occasional visual glitch seen with the 120-Hz feature enabled. Picture contrast lags behind that of some LCDs.
Bottom Line
The LG 42LGX delivers an accurate HD picture wrapped in a stylishly thin cabinet design.
"Cabinet depth" is one of the latest design characteristics that HDTV manufacturers are using to lure potential customers, and thin is most certainly "in." While it's true that most HDTV owners never wall-mount their displaysand that most TV stands' dimensions negate the effect of a flat-panel TV anywaythere is something intrinsically appealing about "thin and flat" TVs. At less than 2 inches thick, the stylish 42-inch LG 42LGX ($2,699.95 list) is currently the company's thinnest 1080p LCD television, and the thinnest 42-inch set you're likely to find. This slim TV delivers impressive color accuracy and an exceptionally detailed picture despite the occasional visual glitch caused by the set's 120-Hz display technology.
Similar Products
The 42LGX looks exactly like the Editors' Choice LG 47LG60. It features the same mirror-finish swivel standbut its cabinet is nearly 1 inch slimmer (1.75 inches). The only button on the 42LGX's otherwise glossy black face is a chrome-encircled touch-sensitive power switch.
The selection of HD-compatible ports should be adequate for most home-theater configurations: You'll find four HDMI connections (one side-mounted), two component video inputs, VGA, and an RF input that feeds a combo analog/digital/digital cable tuner. The TV's side-mounted USB port lets you quickly access digital pictures and music files on your portable storage device. Similar multimedia functionality is available on all LG LCDs except for the entry-level LG30-series of televisions.
LG has made significant improvements in color accuracy in its latest generation of LCD TVs. The 42LGX's Cinema Picture preset has superb primary and secondary HD color accuracy as well as consistent white balance. I was able to fine-tune the TV's output with the LGX's comprehensive picture controls, and the TV's ISF-certified day and night picture presets will make a professional calibrator's job easier. Also, LG's "quick menu" feature provides common picture and sound controls in a simplified menuall via a dedicated button on the remote control.
The 42LGX's 42-inch screen features full 1080p resolution, and the TV's "just scan" picture-size setting minimized overscan. (Overscan is the loss of video detail that occurs when the video picture is stretched beyond the active portion of the screen.) Some 1080p HDTVs, such as the Vizio SV420XVT and the Mitsubishi LT-52148, are unable to eliminate overscan with all HD video formats and HD-compatible inputs.
When I fully calibrated the 42LGX's picture for optimal HD image quality, its average contrast ratio was a solid 1,141:1. The similarly sized Vizio SV420XVT managed a contrast result of 1,287:1, whereas the brighter black measurement of the 42-inch Toshiba 42XV540U resulted in a reduced contrast calculation of 767:1. HDTVs like these, which feature dark-colored screen material and a bright picture, are well suited for use in brightly lit rooms; when viewing in dimly lit environments you'll notice a glowing rather than inky-dark representation of video black. For those who usually watch TV in a darkened room, I recommend Samsung's Series 5 and Series 7 LCDs and Pioneer's KURO plasma TVs, which produce the darkest video black that I've measured to date (8,809:1).
Out of the box, the 42LGX's 120-Hz display defaults to a "low" setting. This adds a smooth motion effect to video that increases apparent picture detail at the expense of the film's intended look. Most feature movies and primetime TV shows are shot at the relatively low rate of 24 frames per second, and the 120-Hz technology adds interpolated frames, changing the look and feel of the original video. (Turning off the 120 Hz eliminates the smoothing, detail-enhancing effect and repeats each 24p frame five times for a cinema-like viewing experience.) With 120-Hz enabled, the LGX displays a superbly detailed picture from both standard and high-definition video content. However, some moving objects on my test samples (DVD, satellite, and Blu-ray) showed a slight edge corruption that disappeared when I turned off the 120-Hz setting. I noticed a similar video corruption when viewing the same samples on the Vizio SV420XVT. The 42LGX, however, proved itself better than the Vizio at handling 1080i video (a common HD format) with its perfect HD HQV Benchmark score. It also had a glitch-free performance with a selection of challenging satellite HD video content.
An integrated room light sensor, such as the 42LGX's "intelligent sensor" feature, can easily reduce an HDTV's power consumption by half or more. Using default picture settings, the 42LGX's estimated operating cost was $4.14 per monthbased on 5 hours of daily use at $0.13/kWh (a Northern California average). This result approached the upper limit of Energy Star's power consumption guidelines for a 42-inch LCD, although with identical estimates of $3.89 per month each, the Vizio SV420XVT and the Toshiba 42XV540U weren't far behind.
The LG 42LGX delivers exemplary HD color and picture detail in a stylish frame design that is among the thinnest currently available. Also, the 42LGX's panel technology (S-IPS) produces a more colorful and consistent picture at wide viewing angles than comparable LCDs like the LC-52SB55U, or Sony LCDs like the Bravia KDL-46Z4100. The 42LGX's default 120-Hz setting does introduce an occasional visual glitch, but it's not a deal breaker, and I believe most people won't find this quirk distracting enough to induce them to disable the feature. Samsung's latest 120-Hz LCDs are the current gold standard for 120-Hz tech, but LG televisions like the 42LGX are leading the way in terms of accurate color reproduction, picture controls, and unique styling.

The slides from the EuroPython talk (python & amqp) I held this morning are here. I'll post a link to the video when it becomes available.
There are two things I wanted to mention but did not get to:
- python-celery: if you are looking to partition and distribute computations do take a look at it. We are using it in the OpenQuake project and are very happy with it.
- RabbitMQ in Action: in case you are using RabbitMQ or plan to do so get this book. I started reading it recently and derived a lot of value from it.
