In my religion (Quakerism), we have no hired professional priests. The problem with hired priests is that their job gets mutated from one of helping the flock struggle with the burden of discerning Gods will, into one of keeping their job. The fire gets lost.
I think that Nokia has a similar problem with the 770. When you have a large full-time staff, they lose their fire. And yet, what else is Nokia to do? If they are going to build hardware, it needs software, and they surely cannot rely on the goodness of strangers for their software, can they? And that is exactly what they are already doing, by using the Linux kernel.
So lets explore this fantasy, wherein Nokia builds hardware and the rest of us write the software. I am firmly of the opinion that open source solves some problems poorly. The work that Tigert does (art and design) is not done well by the ordinary developer. If left to their own devices, they will also neglect usability.
There is definitely room for a paid staff. But I think that if you want to write the best software, most of it has to be written by the people who will be using it. Of course, that leaves Nokia with a chicken and egg problem. With a new product like the 770, how do they have users without any initial software?
Like all open source projects, you need to prime the pump. That is best done through contractors. Pay them to write the initial build, and then get out of the way. If the spec that they build to is fux0red in the usual way that most software designs are, it will get fixed. But in the meantime, users will at least have something which is minimally usable.
Nokia can get developer attention just as they did -- through subsidised hardware. They would also have gotten developers involved sooner, just as the OLPC has done. If you are building a really cool product, people will be lining up for early hardware. And, if they do not, then maybe the product is not as wonderful as initially conceived?
Nokia will probably not take this advice, but if they do not, I fear that they will continue to publish software that sucks.

The master of science degree program in the Roy H. Park School of Communications prepares graduates to pursue professional careers as organizational communication and learning system designers and managers. Alumni of the program include media producers and communication managers in business, education, and human services; instructional designers; marketing media and public relations specialists; trainers; independent consultants and producers; and communication analysts. Students from all disciplines and professions are encouraged to apply to the communications program.
In addition to the courses described in the catalog, selected topics and contemporary issues courses regularly offer opportunities to study such topics as technical communication, global communication and learning, and integrated marketing and training strategies. A speaker series brings noted researchers and practitioners to campus to meet and address our students and faculty.
The Roy H. Park School of Communications is housed in an attractive facility that includes an interactive media and website development lab, desktop publishing and computer-based presentation support media systems, television studios, teleconferencing units, video field production and digital postproduction equipment, digital photo and audio labs, computer-based research and writing facilities, and a graduate student office and computer lab. These facilities, plus a faculty actively engaged in current research and practice, allow students to pursue interests in the areas of
Applicants to the graduate program in communications should include with their application a short letter stating their purpose for pursuing graduate study at Ithaca College and describing any relevant educational or professional experience.
To be eligible for admission to the master's degree program, the candidate must have earned a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution. Overall grade point average at the undergraduate level and academic and/or professional recommendations are among the criteria considered for admission to the program. A personal interview is recommended. The program welcomes applicants from disciplines other than communications.
A limited number of graduate assistantships are awarded each semester based on the applicants' scholastic records and their ability to assist faculty members in teaching and research. Financial assistance consists of two parts -- a scholarship and a taxable work-related salary. The appointment normally requires 8-12 hours of work per week. Graduate assistants are normally assigned to work with faculty in the Departments of Journalism; Television-Radio; Cinema, Photography, and Media Arts; and Strategic Communication. They assist with classes, tutor students, conduct research, supervise labs, and work in related professional areas such as organizing speaker series and coordinating media programs. Duties and responsibilities of each graduate assistant are arranged by the graduate chair.
A research fellowship may be awarded to one matriculated graduate student who is already enrolled in the program, based on demonstrated excellence in coursework and/or potential for scholarship. The research fellowship consists of a tax-free scholarship equivalent to a graduate assistantship (without the weekly work requirement).
The chair of the graduate program in communications serves as the academic adviser for all students enrolled in the program. Students writing a thesis select, with the approval of the chair, a thesis adviser and two readers from among the graduate faculty in the Park School.

I've recently been working on a special project for The Other Side of The Tortilla that I haven't told you about yet–some video! I've been working on adding in some more cultural elements (which will have a fun new category name that I can't wait to reveal), and while composing some stories and editing photos I started thinking about how I could teach others about Mexican customs and traditions that go beyond just food. The cuisine ties into a bigger cultural picture, so really, these new cultural elements will complement the regular cooking content of what you already see here.
It started out over the holidays in December while I was visiting Mexico City (which is, in part, why you haven't seen a December in Mexico City Part II just yet). One of our tías throws a big Christmas brunch for our whole family every year, and this year she moved it up a week so I could attend since I wasn't in town for very long.
As with most of my trips, I brought my DSLR camera and a Flip Video along for the ride. I got some great home video style footage of how our family celebrates Christmas with posadas and began thinking how I could share this bit of our culture in a fun and educational way.
And, like many Mexican families, our Christmas gathering wouldn't be complete without a piñata…
I've got video footage of both young and old taking their turn trying to break it open! (Here's a little sneak peek of some of the kids' action to the right.)
I've been working hard putting something together, editing, including video cuts, still photos and am now recording voice overs and adding a background soundtrack. Right now, I'm in the process of looking for a mariachi band with recorded materials that might be interested in providing some of the soundtrack (so if you know somebody, send them my way).
Recently, a few people have asked me if I'd ever do cooking video segments. That wasn't the way I originally envisioned The Other Side of The Tortilla, but as with all ideas, it's beginning to evolve. I'd appreciate your feedback in the poll below to let me know how you feel about the possibility of seeing some cooking videos here in the future. I'll close the poll on Sunday, February 28th, so hurry up and vote–there's a little over a week to get your opinions in. Feel free to also leave any comments below with your thoughts about why you would be interested in seeing some video (…or why not).
Let me know what you think. As always, thanks for reading. I hope to be able to add new features from time to time to improve your reading and cultural experience here on The Other Side of the Tortilla.

Nostalgia in Parts
The nostalgia definitely came back. With the recent re-release of the C64 emulator for iPhone I felt that I am somehow thrown back into C64 world again – the only difference is that I am twice as old as I used to be when being active on C64 demoscene and it feels a bit tight. Some time ago I bumped into this amazing ICU64 project - realtime debugging/hacking tool by Mathfigure. Do you remember Matrix the movie?
The first part
I sooooo wanted to have all that working in AS3, that I have resurrected FC64 – low level C64 emulator written by Claus Wahlers (Codeazur) with Darron Shall. The code was moved to GitHub recently, so I just had forked it and thus give it its new life.
Click to activate and watch this (very buggy here but interesting) part from Parts, great demo from 1995 by Oxyron.
Red and green indicate memory write/read, grayscale map represents memory values.
Click on the map and use mouse wheel or +/- keys to zoom in and out. (Memory debugger idea shamefully borrowed from Mathfigure.)
The demo itself doesn't play nicely with FC64 and it's quiet as there's still a lot of work to do on the emulator, but just pay attention the memory snapshot – discover how data is being populated in the memory. The image of girl's face is decompressed and overwrites BASIC area.
I am kind of quietly hoping to get other (ex-)demosceners involved to cooperate and improve FC64 as there's loads to do. The most important thing is to re-enable the SID (maybe using Ralph's TinySID alchemy port) as there are traces of early SID implementation in the FC64 source.
There's another idea for a secret project involving KickAssembler, but shhhh for now...
...and yet another part of the same story
Yes, there is more to it. I am supposed to work on the HTML/CSS templates for the new, cool (web2.0) version of Intros C64 - the biggest online C64 cracking intros repository. The design (also be me) has been approved a year ago, and I am somehow in stuck in the middle - need to work out the roadmap.
Anyway, I wrote a tiny a little bookmarklet to enable live preview of the intros, here are two example links:
Dynamic Duo 3D stars
Dynamic Duo (pictured above)
And the Bookmarklet itself - just drag the link to your toolbar and use on Intros C64 site (you have to select an intro first - get the view with the comments).06:30 PM | posts | 0 Comments | Tags: c64, experimental, retro, debugging, as3, sid, bug, source

How Will Forests Grow as the Climate Changes?
How does a natural forest respond to harvesting under global change conditions?
Michigan Technological University and the US Forest Service Institute for Applied Ecosystem Studies (FS IAES) have received $1.1 million in US Forest Service funding to conduct new research that asks that question.
"Forests grow differently when they are exposed to carbon dioxide, ozone and other pollutants," explained Andrew Burton, a professor in Michigan Tech's School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science. Burton is Michigan Tech's lead investigator on the new research study.
During an earlier research collaboration called the Aspen FACE project, scientists planted aspen and birch trees in 12 circular plots at the US Forest Service test site near Rhinelander, Wis. They then exposed them to elevated levels of carbon dioxide, ozone and a combination of the two, and analyzed the impacts of varying amounts and mixtures of the greenhouse gases on the tree growth, roots, leaves, soil carbon and nutrients, insects and diseases and entire ecosystem carbon storage.
Their main findings were that carbon dioxide caused increased growth; ozone caused reduced growth, and in combination, the negative effects of ozone offset much of the positive effects of CO2.
The new study—at the same site—takes a step back, starting by cutting down all the trees planted during Aspen FACE and letting the forest resprout on its own. Researchers then will use the Aspen FACE technology to expose the new growth to increased levels of carbon dioxide, ozone and a combination of the two.
Richard Norby, a corporate research fellow at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and principal investigator on another federally-funded FACE project, is glad to see the research continue at Aspen FACE. "The effect of elevated CO2 on forest regeneration has not been well studied, but it could be a very important factor shaping the state of our future forests and the many services they provide. This new research at Aspen FACE will be an important contribution to the nation's global change research portfolio," he said.
"You might call this a prequel to Aspen FACE," said US Forest Service researcher Mark Kubiske. "Last time we planted the trees. This time we are starting with trees that are regenerating of their own accord."
Scientists will be studying what Burton called "the legacy effects" of new trees sprouting from the root system formed under the Aspen FACE treatments, as well as continuing effects of the treatments used on the new growth. They will be simulating the carbon dioxide concentrations expected 50 years from now and ozone concentrations typical of a location closer to larger cities —80 to 100 parts per billion.
"Aspen forests play an incredibly important role in our lives," Kubiske said. "They are extremely important for paper production and as a food source and cover for wildlife. Aspen ecosystems account for about half of the upland hardwood forests throughout the lake states, and they occur all across the US and Canada. We have to be able to predict what will happen to existing forests under global change conditions." Kubiske is the Institute for Applied Ecosystem Studies' lead investigator on the new study.
Michigan Tech will be operating the test site, applying the treatments and monitoring results. The Forest Service will be operating the experiment, monitoring the growth and development of the forests and coordinating research among visiting scientists from the University of Michigan, the University of Nevada-Reno, the University of Wisconsin, DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory and other collaborators worldwide. More than 80 scientists are expected to participate in the experiment before it is completed.
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

Gingivitis/Gum Disease Treatment in Mishawaka, IN
Gingivitis, commonly referred to as gum disease, is a daunting issue that can afflict dental patients from all walks of life if they don't stay on top of their oral care regimens. The ailment develops slowly over time as plaque and bacteria build up on the surface of teeth and begin to form along the gum line. As this material begins to harden and form tartar, this can lead to gums becoming red and swollen, and is often one of the early stages of a much more dangerous form of periodontal disease.
If left untreated, gingivitis can eventually develop into periodontitis, a far more advanced form of the disease. Instead of mere bleeding and inflamed gums, the ailment can begin to spread underneath the gum line and may start to attack the bone and underlying tissues that support healthy teeth. In time, this can lead to deep infected pockets that could cause a patient to lose his or her teeth and the surrounding bone.
For those who are suffering from gingivitis or a more advanced form of gum disease, there are a wealth of treatment options available in Mishawaka. To start, dentists suggest completely revamping a patient's oral care regimen to include daily flossing, brushing at least twice a day and doing what's necessary to foster the long-term health of the mouth. Additionally, treatment options vary depending on the scope of the disease. For instance, for those individuals who report minimal swelling, nonsurgical therapies that control bacterial growth are usually sufficient to restore the supportive tissues and promote the reattachment of gums to teeth.
Conversely, for those who exhibit advanced swelling or bleeding, oral surgery may be required to repair the underlying tissues. A treatment called scaling and root planing is usually the first step, which involves a deep cleaning to remove all traces of tartar, as well as targeting exposed tooth roots where bacteria accumulates. Antibiotics and topical gels can also be used to treat these issues, but ultimately, unless a patient has an advanced form of the disease, gingivitis can be treated quite easily with a vast improvement in a person's overall oral care regimen, frequent trips to the dentist for consultations and eliminating risk factors like sugary foods and tobacco products. As long as the ailment is caught early, our dentists in Mishawaka have myriad treatment options available to stop gum disease in its tracks.

''The Old Mindset Is Still in Place in Turkey''
Legal proceedings were brought against you 14 years ago in a case that many people in Turkey regard as absurd. You are accused of involvement in a bomb attack on the Egyptian bazaar in Istanbul in 1998. In the meantime many people in Turkey agree that the case against you is politically motivated, and representative of a campaign against all members of the Turkish opposition. At the same time, you have also become a symbol of the Turkish democracy movement. How do you deal with the expectations attached to this role?
Pınar Selek: The symbolic battle that's being waged through this case, this Kafkaesque process, was not something I was prepared for. But nevertheless it didn't come as a complete surprise, because I was very familiar with the Turkish political system. My father was in prison when I was a child. I lived through the military coup of 12 September 1980 and the period thereafter. The case of the sociologist and last chairperson of the Turkish Labour Party Behice Boran, who was behind bars for 15 years, showed me that academic research can land you in jail.
All the poets, writers and intellectuals whom I admired drew on their experiences in prison or exile. So to a certain extent I was prepared. But what affected me particularly badly in my case was the accusation itself. It would have been significantly easier for me had I been charged as a result of my academic study or because of my book.
But to be held responsible for the deaths of people, to be accused of setting off a bomb and behaving in a violent manner – that hit me very hard. But I nevertheless remained a political person. I've accepted that I've had to square up to this battle to this day. At the same time I'm lucky to have a large network of people who support me – first and foremost my family and close friends.
As time went by, this sense of solidarity was carried like a wave to all those I was involved with. Right from the outset, I never felt alone. But I have to say it was difficult to live with this role. We only live once, and it would be better if we weren't forced to have to fight this battle on such a primitive level, but rather on a level that can also have a positive impact on our lives. Unfortunately that's not the case.
For years the case against you has followed a repetitive pattern: You are acquitted, state prosecutors appeal. Then additional hearings take place. But a great deal has changed in Turkey in the meantime, and the AKP's rise to power came with a promise to democratize the nation. Does this not also mean reforms to improve human rights in Turkey?
Selek: My trial – just like the proceedings against Hrant Dink – shines a spotlight on political trials against dissidents. The fact that the process has continued for 14 years now shows that the old mindset is still in place. It is still regarded as a major offence to publicly debate certain issues in Turkey.
Torture may have been officially banned, but my trial is being pursued because at the time, a young man testified against me under torture, and then retracted his statement. The fact that an academic such as myself was arrested and that attempts are still being made to vilify me shows that the political system has not changed. Dozens of people are arrested in Turkey every day. And once the judicial system has been tarnished, then unfortunately there's no hope of anything being improved.
But it appears as though the AKP is making efforts to afford greater rights to women…
Selek: Familiy Minister Fatma Şahin was always affiliated with the women's movement in Turkey. But without a fundamental shift in understanding, no changes can be effected. You only have to look at the most recent changes that have been made, and you'll soon realize that these don't go far enough at all.
There are a few new approaches, but these so-called reforms always relate to family policy, which basically goes hand in hand with the family policies of conservative parties in Europe. Turkey has a neo-conservative and neo-liberal system. The target is not the liberation of women. Some aspects of the law relating to violence against women have been improved, but essentially neo-conservative structures are to remain in place.
You have always insisted that in spite of everything, there is a democratic movement in Turkey. Turkey is often held up as a role model for Arab states. Can Turkey meet the expectations attached to this role?
Selek: It would be absurd to hold up the structure of a state or its politics as a model. The actual role models are the people who oppose these structures. They can exchange their thoughts and ideas. We, as members of the Turkish opposition, must join forces with dissidents in neighbouring countries to the same extent as we do with the opposition in western nations. For example, we should cooperate more closely with the feminist movements in Syria, Iran and Egypt.
You've lived in exile since 2009, first in Germany and now in France. How does the experience of exile impact upon your view of Turkey?
Selek: My life is different to that of the older generation of migrants. I was never really cut off from Turkey. I take part in events, seminars and discussions every day via Skype. I'm trying to live here in the way that I became accustomed to prison: As long as I'm here, I might as well profit as far as possible from the possibilities presented to me by my exile. For example, with the benefit of distance I've realized that in comparison to other countries, the feminist movement in Turkey is much further down the road.
The opportunity to view a situation from the outside has also had an impact on my research work at the university, my analyses are now much broader-based. My experiences here have been really positive. I'm no longer the person I once was. Certainly, I would have changed had I stayed in Turkey, but I've had encounters that have greatly enriched me and that I never would have expected. It's also had an impact on my new novel. I think the content of the novel wouldn't have been as rich had I written it in Turkey. But of course: I would have much rather have been able to stay in my home country.

From KFSN-TV (Fresno, Calif.) Online, Dec. 7- "Valley dairy farmers are urging lawmakers to get to work and pass the farm bill.
"Congressman Jim Costa and top house agriculture democrat, Congressman Collin Peterson [Minn.], met with Valley dairy farmers on Thursday. They discussed the latest efforts to get a five year farm bill passed before the end of the year.
"Lawmakers are focused first on proposed reforms to replace the outdated and costly subsidy system of direct cash payments to producers. Valley dairy farmers say they need answers now, because the price of milk and other dairy products are set to skyrocket in 2013 if congress fails to pass a new bill.
"'We have only three weeks left of session. We're working very hard in these last three weeks as a part of a overhaul agreement to produce a farm bill. We're not there yet. We're close,' said Rep. Jim Costa (D) Fresno.
"Valley dairy producers have already suffered steep losses from jumps in feed corn prices this year. In California alone, 100 farmers have been forced to file for bankruptcy."
Note also this tweet from Rep. Costa:

I purchased some audio books and movies on the iTunes store before (2-3 years ago).
But when I use the new iPhone 4S to look at my account, the "Purchased" show 1 audio book but doesn't show the other one I can clearly remember (in fact, I purchased that audio book twice, hoping the second time won't be any charge, but there was).
Also missing are some movies, such as Toy Story... Is the only thing I can do to contact Apple iTunes Store Customer Service to resolve this?

Collaborative sharing showcase for modules and complete applications
First launched in November 2010, Geolocation data pioneer Quova has this week ramped up its developer portal with a new set of 'guidance features' for developers seeking additional help.
The Quova Developer Portal is described as a location for developers to gain free access to the Quova API to build their own geolocation-powered applications to the Web, desktop, and mobile devices.
The new featured solutions gallery is designed to allow developers to see what other people are building with the Quova API. It will also showcase modules and complete applications that have been developed to integrate the Quova IP-based API into a developer's environment.
The portal provides documentation and code samples for popular programming languages such as: PHP, Python, Java, Ruby, Perl, and C#. In addition to the standard XML format that Quova supports, the company is now also providing optional JSON formatted responses.
By tapping into the world of IP intelligence, Quova says that developers can integrate data from its portal into web applications to prevent fraud, comply with local regulations, target market messaging, and localize content. Programmers can also pull geographic location and network data for any Internet Protocol (IP) address in the public address space.
Quova's REST API provides a RESTful (REST) interface that returns data over HTTP. Information returned includes: area code and time zone, longitude and latitude, MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area), network information, and the postal code, city, state, and region of any Internet Protocol (IP) address in the public domain.
"Geolocation data is a critical ingredient for web applications," said Jay Webster, chief product officer, Quova, Inc. "Determining the location of site visitors can help developers target their websites at the appropriate audiences, giving visitors more incentive to return. We're looking forward to partnering with developers on projects built with the Quova API, as we have most recently with Mobiah on the GeoPosty WordPress application."

A brand by any other name...
Visits (11739)
Dave Hitz from Network Appliance has a wonderful discussion of "branding": What do Marketing People Mean When They Say Brand?
A lot of people ask me about IBM branding, as we have recently changed brands. In the past we had two separate brands, one for servers (eServer) and one for storage (TotalStorage). These would be fine if we wanted to promote their independence, but customers today want synergy between servers and storage, they want systems that work well together.
Last year, in response to market feedback, we crated a new brand, "IBM Systems" and put all the server and storage product lines under one roof. Over time, we will transition from TotalStorage to System Storage naming. This will occur with new products, and major versions of existing products.
Two other phrases you will hear in the names of our offerings are "Virtualization Engine" and "Express". These are portfolio identifiers. The Virtualization Engine identifier was created to emphasize our leadership in system virtualization, and we have products that span product lines with this identifier.
The Express identifier was created to emphasize our focus on Small and Medium sized business (SMB). It spans not just servers and storage, but across other offerings from other IBM divisions.
Of course, just renaming products and services isn't enough. Systems don't work together just because they have similar names, are covered in similar "Apple white" plastic, or have similar black bezels. Obviously, thoughtful and collaborative design are needed, with the appropriate amounts of engineering and testing. IBM is aligning its server and storage development so that the IBM Systems brand keeps its promise.

I spent 5 hours today riding around DC. I rode on trails and in bike lanes and for a few blocks in one of our three (3) cycle tracks and on a kind-of highway's kind-of shoulder and over speed bumps and speed humps (they're different) and through stop signs (sorry) and I rode over two bridges (one great, one terrible) and I saw where they might build the new soccer stadium (#BuzzPo) and before that I saw the new streetcars (coming soon! No, really. They promise. And this time, they mean it! Or intend to mean it) and I even stopped once to buy a taco because I saw a neon sign that said Taqueria. (Ed. note: my computer is trying to autocorrect taqueria to equestrian, which is wrong and also gross). I went to a coffee shop that I've been to before and then I ate fried fish at a renowned place I'd never been to before and to get there I rode through parts of the city I know well and parts of the city I know less well and other parts where I've been before and also parts where I hadn't been or at least don't remember ever having been. I rode on a street could easily accommodate a bike lane (I'll let you guess which) and I passed the park where I used to walk EtP when we first moved here. I saw the an English soccer team, in town for a friendly. The players weren't as tall as one would expect. I had no agenda. Some guy shouted "Pick it up, baby!" to me as I lumbered up a hill, the way one might yell from beside a road race course. I yelled back "thank you!" for some reason. I saw Jeff and Jaime on the Metropolitan Branch Trail and I missed Abigail, maybe by minutes. I went to a brewery that was out of beer and a distillery that sells seasonal gin. I brought with me a laptop and a plug and a phone charger and a u-lock and for most of the trip, a pair of DC Streetcar branded sunglasses. For real. They're pretty great.
I don't go on long rides. The near entirety of my bicycling is commuting and the remainder of that entirety is going to the grocery store or maybe to pick up sandwiches. I feel very little appealing about the idea of riding through bucolic farmland. Cows. Fences. Grass. Cows. Barns. Country roads. They just don't do it for me. They have their charms and I don't disparage the urbanite for fleeing the countryside to take in nature and really stretch their legs. It's just not my thing. Maybe I'm not acquainted with the right country roads. You really can't do a century within city limits and trying might make you go crazy. But you can ride around aimlessly or vaguely aimed (for example, aim for coffee, beer, cocktails, murals, museums, high-end waffleries [do we have any of these?]) and quite like it. I like seeing things. I like living in a place where there's lots of stuff to see and while I get to see some of it on my daily bike commute, the thing about a commute is that there's really only so many reasonable ways to get from point A to point B and your experiences, while varied, are a circumscribed. So rather than setting off to see the nothing in particular that you see from country roads, I choose instead to see the stuff that's here in the place where I live. It's nice stuff and I'm lucky to have it nearby.
There are many different kinds of cycling experiences and none are "wrong." The weekend city ride is one that you shouldn't overlook.

Coherent offers the industry's broadest selection of lasers and custom total beam sub-systems for life sciences, both in clinical and analytical applications. No matter whether you're an end user or an OEM, whether your application is flow cytometry, cell sorting, microscopy, multiphoton microscopy, DNA sequencing, or retinal scanning, Coherent has the laser that perfectly matches your needs and your budget.
Coherent was one of the pioneers in the development of laser medicine, and it's still a very important field for Coherent-deployed lasers today. Because of the technical breadth of the product line, Coherent lasers are used by leading medical system manufacturers for applications as diverse as ophthalmology, dermatology, hair and tattoo removal, surgical, and dental procedures.
Several high-throughput techniques rely on laser fluorescence.
DNA sequencing involves the use of automated and miniaturized biochemical techniques to determine the fundamental base sequence (ACGT) of strands of DNA, chromosomes and even the entire genome. DNA sequencing is characterized by its technological diversity, with several completely different high-throughput approaches, each promoted by their suppliers for their superiority in terms of accuracy (i.e., fewer read errors), maximum read length, and cost-effectiveness. These methods feature incredible parallelism that has enabled the cost of genome sequencing to fall by several orders of agnitude in less than 25 years. At present, the most popular of these techniques all rely on laser illumination of fluorescently tagged bases.
The diversity of methodology is reflected in the diversity of laser parameters needed for the different approaches. Some utilize tight focus and use just a few tens of milliwatts, whereas those that rely on wide-field excitation may use lasers at the 1 watt level and beyond. In order to track the four different bases, up to four different visible laser wavelengths are used depending on the fluorophore properties.
In terms of its usage and applications, DNA sequencing is widely used in research but is still in its infancy as a clinical tool. Oncology is a key application area with diagnosis, tumor gene profiling and customized therapies. Sequencing services are also offered as discretionary paid services to consumers fueling market growth. Ultimately, it is expected to play critical roles in the fast growing world of personalized medicine and emerging gene therapies.
High throughput methods key to modern drug discovery.
The use of arrays (well plates) revolutionized modern drug discovery and particularly screening, providing unique advantages including automation, miniaturization, and high speed. Array plates have gotten denser over the year and today can total as many as 1,536 separate wells, so imaging speed is of paramount importance in order to view all these wells at high resolution on a practical timescale. High performance array readers are used to image these arrays that are also used in academic research. The combination of laser-based confocal imaging and fluorescent markers in these readers now enables individual cells and even sub-cellular components to be mapped with three dimensional (depth) resolution.
Compact and cost-effective visible lasers with plug-and-play functionality have enabled the development of these next generation array readers, where up to five different excitation wavelengths are used of multi-parameter screening. These wavelengths range from violet/UV 405 nm to red (630 nm). In this way, the same reader might automatically map a genetically expressed fluorescent protein, a nuclear label like DAPI, a membrane stain, and a mitochondrial marker, all in the same fast measurement cycle.
Raman scattering is a valuable spectroscopic technique that can be applied to solid, liquid or gas samples.
The Raman effect occurs when a sample is irradiated with UV, visible or IR light and a small fraction of the incident radiation is scattered and shifted at frequencies that correspond to vibrational transitions specific of the sample.
The Raman signal is much weaker than the incident and scattered light, so it may be difficult to detect it, unless appropriate measures to enhance the signal/background noise ratio are taken. For example, when a laser source is tuned to match an electronic transition of the sample, the resonant effect increases the Raman scattering by several orders of magnitude. This so-called resonance Raman spectroscopy is often used for applications such as qualitative analysis and molecular structure determination of samples which exhibit electronic transitions in the visible region of the spectrum. For non-resonant Raman spectroscopy, the most commonly used sources are visible or IR laser sources in the range 500 nm to 1,000 nm; shorter wavelength are more likely to excite fluorescence that can easily hide the Raman scattered light, unless the fluorescence is carefully filtered out. For this reason, near-IR light is often used.
Laser sources for continuous wave (CW) Raman spectroscopy include laser diodes, diode-pumped lasers, optically pumped semiconductor lasers (OPSL), and ion lasers. For excitation at fixed wavelengths with CW solid-state lasers, Coherent offers the Sapphire SF single-frequency OPSL series with wavelengths at 488 nm and 532 nm. The Innova 300C and 70C series of small-frame argon or krypton ion lasers are also well suited for Raman experiments in the visible region of the spectrum. Innova 70C Spectrum is a mixed gas lasers that can generate a number of laser lines from the UV to the near IR.
Ultraviolet (UV) resonance Raman spectroscopy is a useful tool for the investigation of molecular structure, kinetics, and excited-state surfaces and dynamics. In particular, it finds numerous applications in systems of biological interest. The Innova series of frequency-doubled argon ion lasers - Innova FRED - is perfect match for resonance Raman spectroscopy because it produces several wavelengths in the range 229 nm to 257 nm. The very short wavelengths of these CW lasers minimize sample damage, compared with nanosecond pulses lasers, and minimize excitation of competing fluorescent signal.
A dynamic field of Raman studies is coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering, or CARS. This technique uses two synchronized picosecond or femtosecond sources to stimulate a strong signal response at the so-called Anti-Stokes frequency. This happens only when the wavelengths of the two lasers are separated by a wavenumber matching the Raman transition of the sample. This technique is particularly suitable to detect lipids (fats) in microscopic cellular specimens. Ti:Sapphire (Ti:S) lasers and OPOs are well suited for CARS experiments: broad tunability and flexible pulse duration match the application requirements perfectly. Mira-900, Chameleon and Mira-OPO are ideal laser sources for CARS.
Delivering superior results with reduced patient discomfort.
Photocoagulation is the prescribed first-choice intervention method for wet-form macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, conditions which are estimated to affect up to 250,000 people annually in the U.S. alone. Moreover, this age correlated condition will become even more prevalent with the aging of the baby boom generation.
The Genesis 532 M and 577 M laser family is perfectly suited for photocoagulation treatment of wet-form macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. It provides up to 8000 mW at 532 nm and for the unique yellow wavelength of 577 nm up to 5W. This new yellow wavelength is exclusively available from our proprietary OPSL technology and exactly matched to the main absorption peak of oxygenated hemoglobin. It provides a higher degree of tissue selectivity than any previous laser wavelength. This delivers superior results with reduced patient discomfort.
A rapidly growing field combining molecular biology with optical stimulation of light-sensitive proteins to target specific regions of a single cell or a group of cells within the brain.
Optogenetics is about turning on and switching off neurons by optical stimulation using light sensitive proteins. The first light-activated proteins isolated from a species of green algae in 2002 were Channelrodopsin-1 and -2. When activated with appropriate light, these proteins open the channel for a flux of positive ions into the cell to activate neurons and to trigger voltage signal propagation (the so-called action potential). Halorodopsin does the inverse (with negative ions) to deactivate neurons.
Multiphoton Excitation (MPE) microscopy was first reported in 1990 (Denk, Strickler and Webb). Since then, it has grown to become an ubiquitous imaging technique when in-vivo, optical sectioning is key. In multiphoton microscopy, a fluorescent molecule – attached to the specimen or naturally present – is excited by two or three photon of infrared light. This is in contrast with confocal microscopy where the same type of molecules are excited by a single photon of blue-green or UV light. Multiphoton excitation offers several fundamental advantages over confocal microscopy: the IR light penetrates more deeply in the tissue because of lower absorption and scattering; the longer wavelength is less damaging and allows in vivo imaging also in human subjects; finally, the non-linear process excite fluorescence only on the focal plane and a the confocal aperture required with single-photon excitation is no more necessary. The sectional image of a living mouse brain, imaged to a depth of 800 micron with Coherent Chameleon Ultra II laser is an impressive paradigm of the capability MPE.
In parallel to MPE, several other non-linear techniques have become increasingly popular. These include Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) microscopy and Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopic (CARS) microscopy. This suite of non-linear techniques require the use of Ultrafast lasers, generating pulses of 100-200 fs and tunable over the near IR region of the spectrum. These lasers are inherently more complex than the blue-green lasers used for confocal microscopy and other bioinstrumentation applications.
Coherent recognizes that microscopists, neurologists and biologists should not have to become laser experts to do their work. For this reason we designed and manufacture and expansive line of lasers designed specifically for non-linear imaging. This way, MPE users can focus on their sample, not on the laser equipment.

Myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia can all be treated effectively with non-thermally damaging and precisely controlled lasers.
Laser vision correction has revolutionized eye surgery. Myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia can all be treated effectively with the non-thermally damaging and precisely controllable ArF excimer laser beam. This technique has already helped millions of people since the early 1990s to enjoy life without glasses or contact lenses. Coherent is the leading supplier of light sources for this rapidly-expanding industry.
By being the first to engineer extremely reliable, high-repetition-rate excimer lasers specifically for this application, we have become the supplier of choice for many industry leaders in vision correction. Being successful in this industry depends not only on laser performance, but also on the quality of the system. Because laser vision correction is not a medical necessity, it is considered cosmetic surgery and as such it is closely supervised by the FDA and other regulatory agencies around the world. These regulatory bodies require the highest standards in product quality and safety.
All Coherent systems meet or exceed these standards and we continue to maintain and improve our comprehensive ISO 9001:2000 quality-management system.
Today, Coherent is the leading supplier of excimer lasers for refractive error correction systems. At least 35% of all refractive surgeries (more than 1 million procedures annually) are performed with our lasers. We continue to be the industry leader as we supply the next step in refractive surgery technology: customized vision correction.
The diagrams show the principle of cornea reshaping for myopic and hyperopic vision correction and laser application. The accuracy of the ArF excimer laser ablation is essential for the predictability and safety of laser vision correction. Only this laser source enables the precise reshaping in the necessary sub µm range.

Correction of refractive errors (shortsightedness and farsightedness as well as astigmatism) with an excimer laser is a safe and effective procedure which can restore the natural vision of the patients.
Flow Cytometry is a diagnostic tool most commonly used to analyze the immune or genetic characteristics of cells.
Cells from a sample are mixed with a dye which preferentially binds (called tagging) to a cellular component. The sample is then illuminated with laser light, causing the dyes to fluoresce. The fluorescence emission is spectrally filtered to separate the signals. Quantitative analysis of the respective signal strengths yields a distribution of the blood components within the sample. The current generation of dyes is excited by 488 nm laser light.However, recent work suggests that a new generation of dyes which fluoresce when pumped by 532 nm light can provide even more information.
Our Sapphire laser portfolio began with the offering of the world´s first solid-state 488 nm laser. This diode-pumped laser family offers significant performance, size and efficiency advantage over traditional air-cooled gas lasers. For recent progress with 532 nm excitation, we offer the Compass family of DPSS lasers. Our CUBE and Genesis lasers also offer products with wavelength ranges ideal for fluorescence emission.
Coherent laser bars and systems, with increasingly higher power-spectral density, enables exciting new possibilities.
Unlike the mature technology of conventional MRI, enhanced MRI technology and applications are still evolving and therefore require a flexible and well designed laser to meet the demanding needs of both OEM customers and research laboratories. The latest generation of Coherent semiconductor laser bars and systems, with increasingly higher power-spectral density, enables exciting new possibilities and emerging novel applications for laser induced hyperpolarized noble gas imaging.
By offering the widest variety of wavelength options and allowing the end user to easily exchange different wavelengths in a few minutes, Coherent diode lasers offer the flexibility to pump rubidium, potassium, and other atomic vapors used in the spin exchange process.
Coherent provides a broad range of CO2, Excimer and OPSL laser solutions to enable effective dermatological procedures.
In the field of dermatology we serve a number of applications. Our CO2 lasers and semiconductor diode lasers are widely adopted in the areas of tattoo removal and hair removal, and our waveguide technology with CO2 lasers is the leading technology in the rapidly growing fractional skin resurfacing application. More recently, system builders have begun to use our visible Optically Pumped Semiconductor Lasers (OPSLs) in the treatment of pigmentation, blood vessels or wrinkles because of its better absorption of yellow wavelengths in melanin compared to legacy green laser solutions.
Breakthrough treatments for psoriasis and vitiligoPsoriasis are being discovered. These are chronic, recurring skin conditions with no known cure. It produces red, scaly skin plaques that causes discomfort and disfigurement. It is the second most common skin disorder in the United States, Europe and Countries with little sun exposure. The cost for conventional treatment approaches such as phototherapy (broadband UVB, PUVA), topical and systemic medication sum up to high expenses and promise only temporary relief.
Several large multicenter clinical trials have demonstrated the success of a new 308 nm laser therapy to treat the symptoms of Psoriasis. A beam generated by an excimer laser is aimed precisely at the involved skin without exposing normal skin, reducing the risks of conventional phototherapy such as photoaging.
In contrast to traditional treatments first results are visible after only a few treatments and they promise to be long-lasting, symptoms disappearing for 6 or even more than 12 months. Most patients heal in between 6 and 12 sessions, vastly reducing the number of required treatments and increasing compliance.
Recently introduced the new laser treatment is now revolutionizing the psoriasis therapy. Patients with small plaques (up to 35cm²) can be treated within one minute, for patients with larger lesions and dark skin types the treatment may take 5 to 15 minutes.
For the first time a quick and effective treatment for psoriasis can be offered, ending patient and doctor frustration. The intense, narrow band 308 nm radiation of the XeCl excimer laser has shown to be very beneficial for the treatment of vitiligo and leukoderma as well.

Yields a series of high-resolution, high-contrast images that can be reassembled into a three-dimensional picture.
The microscope is confocal because the objective lens is used both to illuminate the sample and to image it. It is a scanning optical microscope because only one point of the sample is illuminated at a time. As the sample is scanned, the image is built up pixel by pixel. True optical sections of a sample are taken because of the short focal plane of the objective lens (as small as .5 microns). Any image data above or below the focal plane is prevented from reaching the detector. Levels of the sample are collected as the focal plane (Z axis) is raised or lowered. These levels are then computer-assembled into a three dimensional structure. Features of a confocal microscope include high-resolution, submicron microscopy, without the expense of an electron microscope, magnification ranging from 100x to 10,000x, and non-destructive examinations of living samples. Confocal Microscopes are used in the following applications:
Confocal Microscopes are used in the following applications:
Efficient and reliable illumination sources for bio-detection and biomedical applications.
Coherent's structured light lasers, when used in conjunction with our Flat Top Projector refractive beam shaper, can illuminate an area with uniform intensity for use in applications where scanning or inspection of biological molecules over a given area is necessary. New developments in the photonics field and the increase in demand for biological agent identification systems have created a new need for efficient and reliable illumination sources for such applications.

Jimmie Bratcher at Sturgis
Blues guitarist the Rev. Jimmie Bratcher, aka The Electric Rev, returns to Sturgis this Aug. 9-13. He will open for ZZ Top, Bob Dylan and Kid Rock at the famed Buffalo Chip.
The pastor/evangelist finds his best preaching through his guitar and will try to influence the gang at Sturgis. Last year he gave away thousands of CDs at the event along with entertaining the crowd.
Check out his music on YouTube.

It's the turn of the twentieth century, Seth Holly (Keith David) is still scheming on how to break free of his boss and start his own metal works business. Self assured and tenacious, Seth already does quite well for himself, running a modest boarding house with his wife Bertha (Lillias White). For two dollars a week, the boarding house has seem it's fair share of usually customers. Bynum Walker (Glynn Turman) is the local conjurer, a friend of the family for years and known in the community as the man you go to when you need a little extra help, a little supernatural need. Finally, while Bynum helps folks through less tangible means, his white counter part Rutherford Selig (Raynor Scheine) is known as the finder. For one dollar helping people and family reconnect.
The Holly's tenants include Jeremy Furlow (Gabriel Brown) works in construction, and its great work if you can get it. He loves his women and his guitar. He has a lot in common with new tenant Molly Cunningham (Vivian Nixon), a young woman of means from the south who has no intention of ever returning. They are both free spirited folks and attracted to each other because of that likeness. Mattie Campbell (January Lavoy) finds her way to the boarding house in search of Bynum. Her man Jack Carper has gone astray and enlists the help of the conjurer to make her man stop wondering. While she's there she runs into Jeremy who invites her to "be with him" while she is waiting for her man to return. Now, Jeremy is playing both sides of the field.
One fine August day, Herald Loomis (John Douglas Thompson) arrives at she boarding house, wit his young daughter Zonia (Skye Barrett). Literally shrouded in darkness, Loomis brings an air or mystery and danger to the home. For three years, with daughter in tow, he has been searching for his wife who left him after the famous slave hunter Joe Turner captured him. But he is determined to find her. While no one at the boarding house mentions it to him directly, they are fairly sure they know who and where is his wife, but should they say so. While Loomis seems to trudge through life, wallowing him his own misery, his daughter finds friendship in the neighbor boy Reuben Mercer (Nathaniel James Potvin)
Joe Turner's Come and Gone is a sometimes complicated, sometimes sweet story by August Wilson. It depicts the growing pains experienced by northern Blacks and the newly emancipated southern blacks as the young nation tries to put the stench and stigma of slavery behind them. It's explores the role of black men in particular and strives to divine how men of that age define their worth: money, women, their commitment to family. This production is both haunting and funny, with extraordinary performances by Glynn Turman and Keith David as Seth & Bynum respectively.
The Center Theatre Group's production of August Wilson's Joe Turner's Come and Gone will be up and running through June 9, 2013 [email protected]:

Of course it's hot as blazes here now.....hey!....did you bring this heat with you? Send it back!
Joe, accept our sympathies Re your computer. We just got ours back from Gateway, which was due here on July 5. I've been on the phone countless hours with Gateway and DHL; and up until today, the package was essentially lost. We started a lost-package claim, when we got a call this morning from DHL that a delivery would be arriving. So hang in there; it can actually work out.ReplyDelete
Kalyn - An adventure.... I might have a few other choice words! hee heeReplyDelete
J.bo - It will all play out soon enough I'm sure... but that does not mean it will be easy!
Annie - I'll add you as soon as I do another template update!
Linda - ugh, what is with this weather?!
Barbara - no fair, I swear we didn't bring it!
Harry - Wow, what a hassel for you! At least it is back home - hopefully problem free!

Suunto ambassador Jill Heinerth has been named the first Explorer in Residence of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, we've spoken to her to find out what's involved in this new role.

Canadian cave diver Jill is well known for exploring little known places across the globe, and this makes her the perfect person to take up this new role. Read what she has to say about what she'll be doing as Explorer in Residence.
So, what does becoming Canada's first Explorer in Residence mean for you?
This appointment is a bit of a "girl's dream come true" story. The dream of a little girl who was told that nothing was impossible. The dream of a young Girl Guide who was taught how to live in balance with her world. The dream of a woman who discovered that doing what you love nets far greater gains than can be measured by a paycheck. It is certainly validation for a lifetime of hard work as well as an opportunity to reach out to more people with a message about exploration, discovery and conservation of our natural world.
It must feel pretty great, right?
I am incredibly honored to be recognised in my home country and given the vote of confidence that I can carry a great message, especially to young people pursuing new and interesting careers.

How did you end up being given this new role?
In 2013, I was awarded the first ever gold medal for exploration given in Canada; The Sir Christopher Ondaatje Medal for Exploration, awarded by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, but this appointment was a complete surprise. I literally received a phone call while standing by the edge of spring in my drysuit. "Would I accept the appointment and help the society define the program for the future?" Needless to say, my waiting students were pretty surprised to see me jumping around in excitement on the cell phone in the middle of the woods.
What does the role involve?
I have two key goals. First, I want to reach deep into the educational system to inspire young people to explore…. both in person and through modern online outreach opportunities. I want today's youth to understand that the world is at their fingertips through a connected global community. I want young people to recognise that they can make bold moves creating new careers and initiatives to solve emerging problems that are important to them. I want them to know that anything is made possible through diligence and teamwork.
Secondly, I want to share my adventures to help nurture a better connection between Canadians and their water resources. I want us all to celebrate and protect the summer arrival of humpback whales feeding on swarms of capelin in Newfoundland. I want to inspire parents to take their kids to Lake Winnipeg to play, so they will want to keep safe the vast watershed it serves. I want our citizens to learn from our First Nations fore-bearers about how to live in better harmony with our natural resources. I want to help my fellow Canadians understand that everything we do to the surface of our land will be returned to us to drink. I want to us to fully embrace how water flows into and out of our lives.
As a female explorer, do you think it's important to inspire women and girls to get outside?
As someone who was often searching for female role models in life, I realise that is a really important part of this appointment. I try to answer every email and take time with everyone that has a question. I recognise that even a single interaction and affirmation for a young woman can change her life and if I can help even one person find their direction, then that will be worth all the hard work!
For women, or girls, nervous about getting into the water, or even out exploring on land, what would you tell them?
I would like everyone to know that when we push the bounds of comfort, we will have great revelations in life. Being scared means that you still maintain a certain respect for your safety. That is important. But doing something a little outside your comfort zone will help you break barriers that might have contained your potential.
Jill meeting with kids on Bell Island Newfoundland
What will be your first adventure under your new title?
I am currently working with the society on their Expedition of the Year uncovering the Hidden Geography of Bell Island, Newfoundland. I am documenting the shipwrecks and exploring the mine in order to create a visual archive that will be granted to the Bell Island Historical Society so that they can improve education and tourism outreach initiatives.
What projects have you got planned for the coming months?
In the coming months, I will be shooting two National geographic projects in Mexico and the Bahamas. The first involves 3D capture of archaeological finds and the second involves documenting caves for a National Geographic TV special about the strange geological finds in underwater caves.

Natural News
March 18, 2012
(NaturalNews) The federal government's illegal war on drugs is big business for lobbyists who profit on making sure you never have access to marijuana, whether for recreational or medicinal purposes. And one such lobbyist, John Lovell, reportedly raked in nearly $400,000 from the California Police Chiefs Association (CPCA) for helping to defeat California's Proposition 19, a 2010 ballot measure that would have legalized marijuana in the Golden State and generated billions of dollars in new state tax revenues.
The Republic Report's Lee Fang writes that, based on a comprehensive review of the lobbying contracts anti-marijuana groups had during the Prop. 19 battle, Lovell's name showed up as a major recipient of lobbying funds for his help in making sure the proposal never got passed. And with his services, CPCA was able to continue receiving millions of dollars in federal funding for drug war programs that are a significant source of police force revenue.
After the Obama Administration enacted its American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Lovell reportedly got busy sending notices to police agencies alerting them about "important opportunities" to generate more federal grants. These opportunities included $2.2 million in funding for implementing a "Marijuana Suppression Program," and more than $7.5 million for a "Campaign Against Marijuana Planting" program.
However, if Prop. 19 had passed, this federal funding stream would have quickly dried up, which means police agencies across California would have had to seek out alternate sources of funding. The "Northern California Marijuana Eradication Team," for instance, composed of police departments in Shasta, Siskiyou, and Tehama Counties, would not have received its $550,000 federal grant had Prop. 13 been passed.
So once again job security and greed have overtaken the will of the people. CPCA's concerns about losing millions of dollars in federal funding for carrying out drug war initiatives are apparently more important than spurring the ailing California economy by legalizing a natural substance that is leaps and bounds safer than alcohol.
"[T]he passage of Prop. 19 would have given thousands of 'hempreneurs' behind the state's $1.3 billion medical marijuana industry a stimulus stronger than a vaporized bowl of Hindu Kush," writes Fang, artfully, concerning the marijuana legalization issue in California. "The likely side effects — a decline in budget-busting law-enforcement costs and millions of dollars in tax revenue for the state of California — don't seem all that bad compared to what we got stuck with: A war on drugs that makes people like John Lovell even richer."
