This was a European Quake ad run in 1996.
Someone made a bunch of cool Quake cards for each of the enemies in the game.
My original sketch of DM3: The Abandoned Base. Several aspects changed as I built and iterated the design as I played it, but most of it is similar.
My original sketch for E1M1, the first map in Quake. This was on my pad of paper where I listed myself as Project Specialist because I did so many different things on our games. The original filename of E1M1 was jrbase1. This map is for the inside of the base. Other sketches cover the outside area.
Originally, I was going to start you outside after you step on the slipgate in the Start map. I decided to start you inside a base-themed area so you'd have a little bit of indoor time before seeing the outdoors. I could also show off some jumping and more of the 3D aspects of the design.
These are the concepts for the light pylons I created for this level. I don't think they were used anywhere else in the game. Also, there are keycard concepts here, too.
This is a closer look at the original idea of the slipgate destination pad. Instead, I started you inside a base section. That pad is really where the elevator lands at the start of E1M1. The drawing at the bottom is the view you should have of the entrance to the base.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have the impression that there has been no development on Jokosher for a couple of years now… I did like the original approach though.
Jokosher is an audio editing application that gets the job done without an overly stuffed toolset. It lags behind other professional-strength audio editing packages available on the Linux platform. But what it lacks will not be missed by audiophile tinkerers and musicians who want to handle their own sound-mixing chores without a studio.
That said, Jokosher is a powerful, easy-to-use multi-track audio editor. It is one of the more popular choices among a list of options that includes Audacity, EnergyXT and Hydrogen. Jokosher is often paired as a solid Linux alternative to the Mac-only Garageband.
Jokosher is a good candidate for your do-everything audio tool. It is handy for both creating and recording music. You can use it to create podcasts, audio recording and editing, plus sound mixing and exporting audio.
The Good
Jokosher offers a solid list of features. Chief among its best assets is the interface.
For example, the design has musicians in mind, so the terminology in the menus has a familiar ring. Of course, non-musicians might have to come up to speed with musicology phrases to reach a comfort zone with Jokosher.
I'm handy when it comes to editing words and images. But tweaking audio files or creating sound tracks from scratch is not my strong suit. So I was very pleased with Jokosher's simple setup.
I found it very easy to apply editing tasks. Splitting tracks and trimming audio content worked well even in my initial attempts. Much of that credit goes to the interface's reliance on sliders for volume mixing and awesome wand-moving tools.
The Bad
The features that Jokosher lacks are what high-end users will really notice. For instance, Jokosher does not have the ability to do amplitude envelope editing or loop editing.
It also lacks an installed library of virtual instruments. However, you can add a range of instruments manually. The Extensions menu simplifies this process a bit. You can use the search Freesound to add sounds. Note: Freesound is a source of Creative Commons-licensed sounds, not songs.
Other should-have high-end options not included are Cut/Copy/Paste and the ability to fade into sound. Also missing is the ability to perform MIDI editing and mixing.
Starting It
If you know how to use Audacity, you will find Jokosher very similar but with a better interface. Jokosher needs very little setup. Its intuitive design is conducive to hands-on learning.
When the application loads, the welcome window offers options to open a saved project or create a new one. Recent projects are listed on the left of the window. A browsing button is available on the right side.
You can check the "Don't show" box on the bottom of the window to bypass this start-up display. In the Preference panel you can choose instead to open the most recent project or not open anything. Other options include selecting the desired recording and sound formats.
Using It
Selecting a new project opens a dialog box asking for a project name, storage folder and creator's name. The resulting workspace is a blank window.
Drop-down menus provide access to File, Edit, Instrument, Extensions and Help. A tool bar row makes it quick to add instruments audio files, and audio mixer controls to the project's display. Audio play controls complete the tool bar row.
Keep in mind that Jokosher's purpose is not to pre-bundle sound clips and musical samples. You have to provide the actual audio content. So novice users might be confused with the Add Instrument and Add Effect functionality.
For example, the program creates an instrument element much like a space holder in a graphic editing application. These tracks can be an existing audio file or be an instrument. But you still must record the track into Jokosher. Jokosher's instrument files just specify a label and an icon for the instrument.
Making and Editing
After you have added the various instruments to the display window, you can begin the recording session. Then the fun really starts as you apply a bevy of tweaks using Jokosher's sound filters and other tools,
This process is necessary for each instrument added. So you must repeat this process until all the added instruments are recorded.
Creating your sound file and editing an existing song or sound file are two separate functions within Jokosher. You can open an existing file and add or edit audio elements.
On the time line start editing by double-clicking to add split points. This opens the track between two split points so you can copy, move, or delete content. Similarly, you can can add new musical elements,
Mixing Maven
Once you arm an added instrument and click the record button, you can click the Audio Mixers button in the tool bar to access the sliders to control the mixing functions.
During the mixing process, you can work the volume of an audio channel. The controls let you raise or lower individual volume levels on each instrument's track.
Also, you can set the master volume of the recording. You can place an audio clip in the left or right channel. You can also spread it over both to vary degrees of emphasis.
The Extensions list has a few very useful options. For example, you can select Minimal Mode to reduce the interface to a floating tool bar that hides everything else. This floating element has buttons for Stop, Play, Record, Show and Close. It also displays the running time in minutes and seconds of the open audio file.
Bottom Line
Jokosher is an advanced, multi-track audio editing system. Typical users, though, will appreciate the ability to import and export the most popular audio formats — Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, WAV and GStreamer-supported extensions.
It is a very good tool for both novices and experienced audiophiles. Musicians with their own collection of musical instruments will like the ability to create and mix sounds with ease.

New Haven, Conn. — Yale engineers have created a process that may revolutionize the manufacture of nano-devices from computer memory to biomedical sensors by exploiting a novel type of metal. The material can be molded like plastics to create features at the nano-scale and yet is more durable and stronger than silicon or steel. The work is reported in the February 12 issue of Nature.
The search for a cost-effective and manageable process for higher-density computer chip production at the nano-scale has been a challenge. One solution is making nano-scale devices by simple stamping or molding, like the method used for fabricating CDs or DVDs. This however requires stamps or master molds with nano-scale features. While silicon-based molds produce relatively fine detail, they are not very durable. Metals are stronger, but the grain size of their internal structure does not allow nano-scale details to be imprinted on their surfaces.
Unlike most metals, "amorphous metals" known as bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) do not form crystal structures when they are cooled rapidly after heating. Although they seem solid, they are more like a very slow-flowing liquid that has no structure beyond the atomic level — making them ideal for molding fine details, said senior author Jan Schroers of the Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science.
Researchers have been exploring the use of BMGs for about a decade, according to Schroers. "We have finally been able to harness their unusual properties to transform both the process of making molds and producing imprints," he said. "This process has the potential to replace several lithographic steps in the production of computer chips."
Schroers says BMGs have the pliability of plastics at moderately elevated temperatures, but they are stronger and more resilient than steel or metals at normal working temperatures.
"We now can make template molds that are far more reliable and lasting than ones made of silicon and are not limited in their detail by the grain size that most metals impose," said Schroers.
To actually get detail at the nano-scale the researchers had to overcome an issue faced in any molding process — how to get the material to cover the finest detail, and then how to separate the material intact from the mold. Surfaces of liquid metals exhibit high surface tension and capillary effects that can interfere in the molding.
Postdoctoral fellow Golden Kumar found that by altering the mold-BMG combination they could create surfaces so that the atoms take advantage of their favorable interaction with the mold— to both fill the mold and then release the product.
In this paper, Schroers' team reports nano-patterning of details as small as 13 nanometers— about one ten-thousandth the thickness of a human hair — and the scientists expect that even finer detail will be possible since the BMGs are only limited by the size of a single atom.
While 'plastics!' was the catchword of the 1960's, Schroers says, "We think 'BMGs!' will be the buzz-word for the coming decade."
Hong Tang, assistant professor of mechanical engineering and electrical engineering at Yale was also an author of the paper. Funding for this research was from the National Science Foundation.

WMS Case StudyDownload:
CS_WMS_Nohel Garden_EN.pdf
Initial Situation
Warehousing logistics of Nohel Garden is characterized by a large number of items and large quantities of goods which passes through the warehouse. For the handling of orders is typical size of orders with the extreme number of items. Picking takes place by pallets as well as by individual pieces. A large part of the product range is sold during major part of the year. In case of some product range the impact of seasonality plays an important role, as in each season during the year the different types of goods are sold.
Thanks to the rapid growth the company faced a shortage of sufficient storage capacity. This issue had been addressed step by step by construction of additional warehouse buildings. Yet, put-away often was performed in a "chaotic" way, where was the empty location, and it was necessary to address the issue of additional storage space. For this purpose construction of a modern multi-purpose warehouse building complex was completed. The warehouse complex is located in Budínek near Dobříš. At present consists of 8 warehouse halls of the total area of 9000 m².
At such a flow of goods and the quantity of items any longer it was not possible to maintain an order, control and overview of all items in the warehouse. Often there were mistakes executed and difficulties incurred in tracing the goods in the warehouse. Other errors arose as a result of a paper manual rewriting of the warehouse data into original IS.
The system of business and logistics processes in Nohel Garden places heavy demands on the storage logic and perfect knowledge of the assortment range and the warehouse. Therefore, in the very beginning it was clear that at such conditions would work in the warehouse put unbearable demands on the warehouse staff, their knowledge of the assortment range and the warehouse, and without the help of a specialized WMS system causing frequent errors. Any mistake in picking can be reflected in the penalty from supermarket chains, which further increases the cost of logistics.
The Selection of Suppliers
In order to achieve error-free operation, the company decided to implement the WMS system, to register all goods in-stock, to check and correct warehouse operations and navigate pickers to picking locations. As a suitable system meeting the requirements and criteria of Nohel Garden was selected Warehouse Management System SmartStock.WMS from Barco.
It is interesting that in the course of the project due to further company expansion additional two new warehouse halls were completed. Of course, even in these new halls, it was necessary to deploy WMS system immediately.
From the WMS system deployment the customer expected to obtain a perfect overview of the goods in the warehouse, to improve the efficiency of storage processes and flow of goods in the warehouse, a significant shift in the accuracy of the work of warehouse operators, to minimize errors in the picking of goods, to comply with customer trade rules necessary for precise and accurate fulfillment of the orders and maximize customer satisfaction.
Implementation of the System
The project implementation took place in four phases.
1st Phase – Pre-Implementation Analysis
The main goal of the pre-implementation analysis was to map the warehousing processes of the company thoroughly, to establish requirements for their support from the WMS system and the way of WMS integration with ERP system. The result of the analysis was the exact form of working practices in connection with the particular warehouse operations, system configuration for each operation and the exact form of data exchange between both systems. As later appeared along with the system change also the working procedures had to be changed and the system had to be further optimized.
2nd Phase - Deployment of Sales Force Automation Module and Implementation of Basic WMS Functions
The second phase coincided with the implementation of SFA module of the new ERP system BYZNYS Win® delivered by company JKR. ERP addresses the overall stock records, the issue of purchasing and selling prices and other matters relating to the business process itself, but without accurate stock records on warehouse locations and without tracking and reporting of particular warehouse operations. On the other hand, WMS at this stage only registered receiving of goods to the warehouse and shipping of goods from the warehouse without goods tracking on warehouse locations. At this stage, it was solved the system integration and its detail testing at different circumstances that may arise in the warehouse.
3rd Phase – Goods Tracking on Accountable Warehouse Locations
In order to start work with accountable locations and stock records in the warehouse, first it was necessary to make inventory cycle counting on particular warehouse locations and gradually define picking locations and rules for their replenishment. At the same time also other adjustments of the WMS system were realized with regard to the specific customer requirements on replenishment of fast picking locations.
This phase in terms of requirements on users of the WMS system was the most demanding. Fast and smooth implementation required very good knowledge of the mobile terminals control, understanding of the WMS system logic and in particular staff discipline when working with data terminal.
For many of the warehouse operators the work with the terminal meant adoption of completely new procedures. Therefore, despite the completion of the necessary training, the performance of the operations was initially slower. Once the staff learned how to work with the terminals, the speed of the operations executed got back to a standard level.
The deployment of WMS system puts entirely new demands on workers in terms of WMS logic understanding and adoption of warehouse operations procedures. It's evident that it's not difficult from day to day to change the system hardware or software, but to change mindsets and habits of people may take several weeks or even months. Thus the workers often in many cases carried out the operations as they were used to do or simply against the rules of the WMS system e.g. picked the goods from another location than where directed by system. This of course resulted in a mismatch of real data with data in the system.
4th Phase - System Optimization
After completion of the definition of the warehouse locations was the system handed over in routine operation. Whereas during the implementation, there was a substantial expansion of storage capacity, there was also a significant expansion of the system from the original number of 50 users up to 80 concurrent users. It was necessary to carry out post-optimization and tuning system based on the annual operation. Optimizing the system was in the form of completing the supporting processes such as the rules adjustments for directed put-away or interface extension and even more accurate interconnection between the two systems. The project is currently in full operation, ongoing optimization and tuning of the solution in the context of new working practices.
Connection to the ERP
Thanks to interconnection with the ERP BYZNYS Win ® was achieved a unique solution that has a solid position also in such a large company. Both systems are fully synchronized both in the normal course of daily routine activities and in the night operation when comparing the warehouse balance between the two systems automatically. BARCO provided fully functional WMS solution that brings together high-quality warehouse management solutions as well as support of logistical operations. Thanks to the interconnection of the systems, it can be easily and clearly tracked the process units, evaluate their effectiveness and prepare proposals for the warehouse process optimizations in the future. Thus would not be possible without significant support of sophisticated IT solutions.
Benefits and Project Results
Deployment of WMS system in Nohel Garden brought significant errors reduction, detailed goods visibility and warehouse operations control throughout its entire warehouse. At present, there are still numerical differences, which are recorded during the output check. After the WMS deployment a error rate dropped from the original 3% to 0.1% from the rows of picking orders. Thanks to full inventory visibility within the warehouse the picking and the orders are precise and accurate. Now there is no need for complicated seeking for goods, the customer orders do not contain error items and are picked correctly and in-time.
Implementation of WMS system SmartStock.WMS meant a significant shift in the customer process automation. The system automatically controls the replenishment process of fast-picking locations. Goods allocations processes into customer orders during receiving or put-away take place automatically with regard to the customer importance and priority. There is also an automatic processing of documents. Specially prepared packing slips are created and printed by the WMS and subsequently in ERP, bills of delivery and invoices are created and specially adapted to the requirements of individual customers.
Important contribution to the routine operation of the warehouse is that the warehousing is completely independent on the human factor. Warehouse performance is not any more dependent on any knowledge of warehouse staff and their overview over the warehouse. Ability to pick properly and timely does not depend on any missing workers who just got sick or took the leave. At this time, operators may no longer wonder where to find the goods. The WMS system itself navigates them to the correct location. This is of great importance also for the training of new warehouse staff. As soon as new warehouse operators pass training with a data terminal they are able to carry out warehouse operations and there is no need to wait a longer time until the operator gains an overview over the warehouse and the assortment range. Despite this fact the new workers will not perform the same as already experienced colleagues. It is obvious that the WMS system will never hand over the experience with goods and pallet handling etc.
Specificities of the Project
Thanks to its scale of up to 80 concurrent users, the WMS project in Nohel Garden belongs to one of the most unique projects of its kind in the Czech Republic. However, WMS project Nohel Garden is unique not only thanks to its scale. It is obvious that in the initial analysis it was not possible to assess any changes that had occurred in the course of the project and compared the results of the analysis, there were a number of new requirements to which the system had to be able to respond. First, the warehouse processes itself changed; both in the course of the project were built new storage halls. Therefore it was necessary that the system supports work also in these new warehouse premises. The system now supports the work in several buildings. The system also supports the work from mobile racks.
Although previously it seemed illogical, now the system can be set to allow also the "chaotic" put-away. Thus in case of shortage of space in the warehouse the goods can be put-away in "chaotic way" wherever empty space is. The system keeps track of everything and it is very easy to trace the goods. This way the system meets and reflects the specific customer nature of its business and logistic processes it supports flexible storage and put-away especially if there is a lack of space. Obviously previously it would not have been possible to work in this way at all.

St Johnstone boss Steve Lomas insists Ross County playmaker Richie Brittain has earned his summer switch to Perth.
The McDiarmid Park boss has swooped early to tie up the Staggies skipper on a pre-contract agreement.
The pair were involved in a spat earlier this season when Lomas accused Brittain of diving to get one of his players sent off in Saints' 2-1 win at the Global Energy Stadium in September.
He branded the 29-year-old a "cheat", but on Wednesday he was only full of praise for the former St Mirren midfielder's abilities.
He said: "We have agreed a deal with Richie. It is a good deal for the club and we are delighted to get him.
"He will bring good experience to the club and great quality from dead-ball situations. He's also a fantastic leader and has shown that as captain of Ross County.
"Richie was a very young player at St Mirren and it showed character that he was prepared to drop down a level and develop.
"He has come back a stronger player and showed that he belongs in the SPL."
St Johnstone have 17 players whose contracts expire following the conclusion of the current campaign, and Lomas hopes that by signing up Brittain early it will save his squad from the kind of upheaval they suffered last summer.
He was forced to bring in nine new faces after losing 19 members of his playing staff.
Lomas added: "We think it's a good acquisition. The club has got a few players out of contract at the end of the season and we had to look at every situation.
"It was important that we were not caught out like last season, where we had a high turnover of players and had to bring a lot in very quickly."
Meanwhile, the Northern Irishman has played down suggestions linking him with a move to Doncaster.
Lomas, who was speaking from his Spanish holiday base while the SPL is in its mid-winter shutdown, said: "I'm in Tenerife right now and I don't know much about this. Speculation is speculation.
"I have a year and a half left at St Johnstone and I aim to see that out. I will see out that contract unless someone tells me differently."

He first practiced law in Nevada (then called Utah Territory) and during his residence there (near Virginia City) he was elected in 1864 as a senator in that State's first legislature. When he returned East in 1866, he opened a law office in Plattsburgh in Clinton County. He was elected Clinton County District Attorney for one term, beginning 1876. From 1881 to 1890, he was Clinton County Judge. In 1890, he was elected to the Supreme Court for the Fourth Judicial District. He also served in 1890 as a member of the Constitutional commission appointed by Gov. Hill to revise the Judiciary Act. The commission's report was influential at the 1894 Constitutional Convention which adopted reforms creating the Appellate Division. Justice Kellogg was appointed to the Appellate Division to succeed Justice Putnam who died in 1899. He retired from the Supreme Court in 1903 because of ill health. He died on March 12, 1904. His son, Henry T. Kellogg, succeeded him on the Clinton County Supreme Court and eventually was named to the Appellate Division and then the Court of Appeals. The Kellogg family lineage includes Elijah Kellogg, of Revolutionary War (Ticonderoga) fame and is connected to the great New York State Chancellor, James Kent, and to Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg (during the Coolidge Administration). Justice Kellogg's wife was a direct descendant of Zephania Platt, founder of Plattsburgh.

Samsung's Galaxy S III is the Android smartphone to beat, the first reviewers of the phones concluded, as the phone arrives in the U.S. on AT&T and Sprint to boot.
All major carriers have signed up to sell the S III and, this time around, you won't get any silly names or slightly changed designs–the phone is set to look exactly the same for AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile aside from carrier branding on the back.
[Read PCWorld's Full Review: Samsung Galaxy S III: Your Next Android Phone]
There are however two differences between the U.S. variant and the international sibling: The quad-core processor has been swapped for a dual-core 1.5GHz chip, but the RAM has been bumped from 1GB to 2GB.
The other specs include a 4.8-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 pixels by 720 pixels, an 8MP camera with 1080p video-capture capability, and the Android 4.0 operating system on board and topped with Samsung's TouchWiz interface. Prices start at $200 with a two-year contract for the 16GB model.
In PCWorld's review of the Samsung Galaxy S III, Ginny Mies found the large display brighter and more vivid than on the Galaxy Nexus, while for performance, the S III was only topped by the LG Optimus 4X HD, which has a quad-core NVidia Tegra 3 processor.
Mies found the camera to be very good too, concluding the Galaxy S III lives up to the hype. "At its core, the Galaxy S III is an excellent phone, and Samsung did the right thing in making it uniform across the multiple carriers," she wrote.
Complicated to Use?
Walt Mossberg reviewing for All Things D agrees: "The Galaxy S III is a solid, capable phone. But its most important feature may be ubiquity." Mossberg brings up an interesting point: "The Galaxy S III lacks any game-changing capabilities and is instead packed with a dizzying array of minor new tricks that users will turn to frequently. There are so many of these that it can take hours to learn and configure them. I had the strong impression Samsung's designers failed to focus and just threw in as many technical twists as they could, some of which didn't work very well."
David Pogue at New York Times was also impressed with the Galaxy S III, but noted "with great flexibility comes great complexity. The phone bombards you with warnings and disclaimers–sometimes upside-down. You really need a Learning Annex course to master this thing."
Wired's Nathan Olivarez-Giles was less impressed with the phone though, saying "simply doesn't feel like a finished product. It could use more polish, more thought, and a more elegant user experience." He also picks on Samsung's TouchWiz software, which "includes a lot of half-baked features that aim for innovation but miss the mark–sharing apps in particular. Styling is boring, and not exciting enough for a flagship phone."
Vlad Savov at The Verge wrote the "Galaxy S III is a technological triumph. Not at first sight, perhaps, but Samsung has done the overwhelming majority of things right. The camera is easily the best I've used on an Android device, the processor claims the title of benchmarking champion, and the customizations layered on top of Ice Cream Sandwich are mostly unobtrusive and sometimes even helpful."
He does, however. note "the extra-large size of this phone, even with its great ergonomics, may prove to be a stumbling block for those who can't comfortably fit a 4.8-inch handset into their daily routine."
USA Today's Ed Baig couldn't fault the S III besides the lacking S Voice feature, which doesn't work as smooth as Siri on the iPhone.
"So is it an iPhone killer?" asks Hayley Tsukayama at the Washington Post. "Let's call it a worthy contender. It's not worth breaking your current contract over, but if you're in the market for a new, top-of-the-line Android phone then [the S III] should be a top consideration."

Crescendo Bioscience, a molecular diagnostics company dedicated to developing and commercializing quantitative blood tests for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other auto-immune diseases, announced today that it has completed a $28 Million Series D financing. The financing was led by Skyline Ventures and Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. (SFE) and was joined by existing investors Mohr Davidow Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, aeris CAPITAL AG and others.
Ferghana Partners assisted Crescendo Bioscience in raising the Series D financing and served as its placement agent. This round of funding will enable Crescendo to accelerate its commercialization efforts for Vectra DA, a novel test which assesses disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
"2012 was a very productive year in which we made significant investments in both the commercial and medical areas of our business," said William A. Hagstrom, President and CEO of Crescendo Bioscience. "Over the last year, we expanded our field sales organization, which allowed us to increase our customer base to nearly 500 rheumatologists and significantly increase test volume to include samples from more than 30,000 patients. To facilitate this growth, we invested in laboratory infrastructure, automation and expanded web portal capabilities to better serve our clients. We also invested in expanding our medical team with rheumatology, immunology and industry expertise to drive additional studies, data generation and peer reviewed publications. With this new Series D financing and the addition of our newest investment partners, Skyline Ventures and Safeguard Scientifics, Inc., we believe that we can build on this progress and generate further momentum in our commercialization and clinical development programs. We look forward to this exciting partnership."
Crescendo Bioscience is currently working with collaborators from leading medical institutions to improve upon the understanding of the underlying biology of RA. Vectra DA is a precise, standardized multi-biomarker blood test validated to assess disease activity in RA. Vectra DA measures 12 immune, endothelial, bone, cartilage and metabolic biomarkers reflecting the underlying biology of RA. Serum concentrations of the biomarkers are integrated into a proprietary algorithm that generates a disease activity score on a scale of 1 to 100. Crescendo Bioscience is establishing long-term relationships with rheumatologists by providing objective, quantitative and replicable information to help physicians improve patient care and outcomes. All testing is performed at Crescendo Bioscience's state-of-the-art CLIA-certified laboratory.
"We are excited to be working with Crescendo Bioscience to build on its success," said Leon Chen, Ph.D. at Skyline Ventures and who has joined Crescendo Bioscience's Board of Directors. "Crescendo Bioscience and Vectra DA represent not only an innovative technology in a focused market, but also have a strong business model and highly experienced management team--all critical factors in Skyline's decision-making process to invest. We look forward to lending our expertise to help the company meet and exceed its potential."
"Vectra DA addresses a large market with significant unmet needs and is already changing the way RA is being managed," said Gary J. Kurtzman, MD, Managing Director, Life Sciences at Safeguard, who also joined Crescendo Bioscience's Board of Directors. "Patients suffering from RA are treated by a concentrated group of only 3,500 rheumatologists who rely on a number of subjective measures to assess disease activity and response to treatment, which may lead to suboptimal outcomes. Vectra DA's ability to provide an objective assessment addresses this opportunity head on."
About RA
RA is a debilitating, highly variable, chronic disease affecting approximately 1.5 million Americans and more than two million people in Europe. The primary symptoms of RA are painful swollen joints and fatigue, with the disease often resulting in joint damage and disability. RA is a systemic disease that can significantly affect other parts of the body, resulting in infection, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and causes an increased rate of mortality.
Clinicians assess RA based on three factors: disease activity (clinical signs and symptoms), structural damage in joints, such as erosions, and functional status (including pain). Many of the current clinical assessment tools used by physicians are qualitative and subjective and they may not adequately identify key properties of the disease.
Early and accurate detection of RA, accompanied by effective therapy with frequent monitoring of disease activity, is critical for optimizing clinical outcomes. The American College of Rheumatology has developed guidelines supporting the goals of "Treat to Target" and "Tight Control" to help clinicians achieve clinical and structural remission in their patients, and improve their long-term functional status.
About Vectra(TM) DA
Vectra DA is the only multi-biomarker blood test for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity that integrates the concentrations of 12 serum proteins associated with RA disease activity into a single objective score to help physicians make more informed treatment decisions. Vectra DA testing is performed at Crescendo Bioscience's state-of-the-art CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) facility and test results are reported to the physician 7 to 10 days following receipt of the blood sample. Physicians can receive test results via standard mail, by fax or via the private web portal, VectraView. For more information on Vectra DA, please visit,
About Crescendo Bioscience(R), Inc.
Crescendo Bioscience is a molecular diagnostics company focused in rheumatology and located in South San Francisco, CA.

Verizon Wireless announced that 38 markets, including Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco, will get access to the high-speed LTE network by the end of this year.
However, the operator has not yet announced devices that will be able to work on the network. Lowell McAdam, president and chief operating officer of Verizon, made the announcement during a keynote speech at the CTIA conference in San Francisco. The company will conduct a press conference about the news later on Wednesday.
"LTE is not just about USB modems," McAdam said. "You may have heard we won't have elegant devices for some time. Come see us at CES in January." At the Consumer Electronics Show, Verizon will be showing a "half dozen" smartphones and tablets that will be available for the LTE network in the first half of next year, he said.
The 38 markets will cover 110 million people "on the day we flip the switch," McAdam said. He expects the network to offer 8-megabit download speed for users. At launch, the networks will cover on average 70 percent of the population in each market, he said.
Verizon will also launch coverage in 55 airports, he said.
"There's a tendency to think LTE is just about speed, but that misses half the equation," he said. "Equally important is that latency drops by more then half" compared to current 3G networks, he said.
He said that Verizon has advantages over others that are building LTE networks because of its nationwide 700 MHz spectrum. That band offers very good in-building coverage compared to spectrum higher up on the band.
Beyond this year, Verizon plans to finish rolling out LTE in all its current 3G markets by 2013. Within 18 months it expects to cover two-thirds of the U.S. population.
Verizon has also signed agreements with five rural operators, which will share access to Verizon's 700 MHz spectrum, building networks in their rural areas and allowing customers to roam onto Verizon's nationwide network.
McAdam boasted about Verizon's role as the first to choose and launch LTE, but the number-one operator was beat to market by MetroPCS, which launched the country's first LTE network in Las Vegas in September.

I was almost done with my warmups. I think I had about 10 pitches left. ... I'm not comfortable going out there and getting hurt in the All-Star Game and costing myself starts in the second half. ... It wasn't one pitch, it just kind of progressively got a little bit stiffer. ... I told Tito when I left if I feel [it] at all when I'm out here I'll speak up, and it just wasn't something I was comfortable going out there and messing with. I don't think I reinjured it, but I've definitely still got some inflammation in there.Beckett's next start is scheduled for Sunday night in Tampa Bay.
Carl Crawford (left hamstring strain, out since June 18) will make three rehab starts with Pawtucket on Friday and the weekend and join the Red Sox in Baltimore on Monday. ... Jed Lowrie (left shoulder strain, out since June 17) is still not recovered enough to starting swinging a bat.
Hitting coach Dave Magadan calls Ellsbury "a man on a mission this year. He's played a little bit with a chip on his shoulder trying to prove a lot of people wrong, a lot of people that doubted him last year, his toughness." Theo Epstein admitted that "a big part of the unfortunate messiness [criticism from within the clubhouse] ... could have been handled better ... [W]e as an organization could have done a better job supporting him unconditionally across the board."
I've always had thick skin. I know it's part of the game when fans get on you. It's never bothered me. ... Obviously you want everybody to like you. At the same time, I'm a pretty realistic person. It's not always going to happen that way - no matter how well you do there's always going to be people that are trying to bring you down. ... When I came to spring training, I had nothing to say. Just watch me play this year. ... There was no question in my mind that I'd be doing what I'm doing.

Baseball fans across the country have registered their excitement for Tuesday night's MLB All-Star game, saying they can't wait to watch the league's annual showcase of its best players who aren't injured, aren't afraid of potentially getting injured, aren't too tired, are free the night of July 12, didn't pitch recently, aren't scheduled to pitch next week, don't mind making the trip to Arizona, and are actually willing to play two and a half innings of baseball.Jim Litke, AP:
Absent from the endless discussions about how to improve baseball's All-Star game was the one that would solve all the problems immediately.
End it.

'X Factor' Contestant Rachel Crow Inks Nickelodeon TV Deal + Recording Contract
Congratulations to Rachel Crow! Everyone's favorite pint-sized 'X Factor' contestant may not have won the competition (thanks a lot, Nicole Scherzinger!), but she's doing just fine on her own. Crow snagged a TV pilot with Nickelodeon and a record deal, so get ready to see a lot more of her.
Crow was predictably thrilled at the news. "It's been amazing," Crow told the Hollywood Reporter. "A couple days after the elimination I just found myself sitting home asking myself, 'What am I going to do now?' And I never would've thought that this is what I was going do now. So, it's pretty amazing. I'm very thankful and I feel very blessed to have all this." Seriously, how cute is she?
Crow will star in a musical-comedy themed pilot for Nickelodeon, as well as having a recurring role in the current series 'Fred: The Show' for five (and possibly more) episodes this spring. On 'Fred,' Crow will play Starr, a girl determined to make it as a famous singer. Sounds right to us!
The move was somewhat surprising, as many thought Crow would have a development deal with Disney. "It's definitely going to come as a surprise for a lot of people," she said. "I get asked on a daily basis from all my wonderful friends, 'So, Disney, huh?' It's hard to keep a secret, but it's really cool because now I'm happy to be able to share it with everyone."
As for her music, Crow's mentor, Simon Cowell, scored her a record deal with Columbia Records through his company, SyCo. She'll be in good company: "Columbia was awesome for me," she gushed. "This is the top, which is really cool. Beyonce and Adele. And I'm in the same family as them, which is really awesome." Crow told THR that her album will be "spunky," and "there's definitely gonna be some high notes in there. And it's just gonna be me."
Another 'X Factor' runner up who's doing well? Second place contestant Josh Krajcik. Billboard reports that Krajcik is working with Adele's producer Eg White, who collaborated with the Grammy winner on 'Chasing Pavements.' Krajcik has a deal with Sony Music, though it's uncertain which label will feature him. Whichever one he chooses will be lucky to have him!

This is a quick tutorial on how to use the edge blending function in NTHUSIM to create a seamless image.
The first thing that is worth mentioning is that you do actually need to overlap your projectors. It won't be as wide as having projectors next to each other.
In the photos below I didn't have a wide angle lens, so you can't see the sides too well. I stood as far back as I could and that was enough to get the blend areas into view, but it is a nice wide screen!
The first step is to make sure the projectors are overlapped enough. If you're not sure, it's usually better to err on the side of caution and give yourself extra overlap space. The stripe patterns will overlay each other by the time we have finished. Below is a photo of what overlapped projectors look like when only the four corner points have been moved roughly into place.
Once we have the stripes looking reasonable with just the corner points, it's time to add our first set of additional control points. Press F2 to add horizontal points. Then bring these in to start to match the curve. Notice how this will make it a lot easier to get the stripes a bit more aligned, but it will still be impossible to get them perfect. That is fine though, we want to gently massage the pattern into shape.
Once we have a better looking pattern, it will be time to add another set of horizontals (F2 key). This time the stripe will be much easier to get close. You'll probably notice that you can get the edges to match or the middle of the overlap to match but not both. That's fine - make the edges match for now. We will fix the centers up later when we have more control points. You should also add a vertical set of control points. This will make it easier because you can start to match up the white line. The screen I'm using here is spherical, so that is why the vertical lines look curved from where the camera is.
Now we're getting close! Lets add a few more horizontal points and see if we can fine-tune this puppy.
Here is where you can tinker quite a bit to get it well set up. But since we're more interested in the blending setup, I'll just leave it at that. You'll notice that we still have double-brightness in the overlap zones. This is easy to fix! we just scroll the mouse wheel to choose a profile that matches the projectors. In my case the profile was 12, but it depends on the output and color profile of your projectors, so just pick the one that looks good for you.
Great! now let's see what it looks like:
Some might say seamless!
Practice really helps, it took me a couple of minutes to set this up. It helped that the projectors were already in the right place and you may find that you need to adjust your projectors.
Here is another photo:
Hope this helps someone and good luck!

Women remain underrepresented in Hollywood as the percentage of female filmmakers stagnated last year, according to a new study.
In 2012, women represented just 18 percent of all directors, producers, writers, cinematographers and editors working on the top 250 domestic grossing films, according to a report from the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University titled "The Celluloid Ceiling: Behind-the-Scenes Employment of Women on the Top 250 Films of 2012."
That number remained the same as in 2011, and has increased just 1 percentage point since 1998.
Also read: Women Are on the Rise at Sundance – When Will Studios Take Note?
"This is a very complex issue," Dr. Martha M. Lauzen, executive director of the center, told TheWrap. "There are, I think, lots of factors at work that are keeping these numbers at about 17 to 18 percent."
Among the study's other findings:
>> Women accounted for 15 percent of writers working on the top 250 films of 2012. Seventy-eight percent of the films had no female writers.
>> Women make up 17 percent of all executive producers working on the top 250 films of 2012. Sixty-one percent of the films had no female executive producers.
>> Women accounted for 25 percent of all producers working on the top 250 films of 2012. Thirty-two percent of the films had no female producers.
The flatlining has remained stubbornly intransigent despite a few high-profile advances. Kathryn Bigelow, for instance, became the first female to win the Best Director Oscar in 2009 for "The Hurt Locker" and was back this year with the Oscar-nominated war drama "Zero Dark Thirty." But Bigelow and other high-profile female directors like Sofia Coppola and Lisa Cholodenko are the exceptions.
The number of women directors increased 4 percent from 2011, but that number has fluctuated over the years, said Lauzen, who has conducted the study for more than a decade.
Also read: Celluloid Ceiling: Women Comprised Only 5% of Directors in 2011
"What you'll see is the percentage of directors who happen to be women have been bouncing around between 5 percent and 9 percent," she said. "There isn't any clear indication that we are in the midst of a long-term upward trend."
On the indie front, the glass ceiling female filmmakers face is showing more cracks. As TheWrap's Sharon Waxman noted this weekend, for the first time in its history, the Sundance Film Festival has an equal number of women as men directors in competition this year.
Moreover, women have made big strides when it comes to sliding behind the camera on lower-budget projects, according to a new study commissioned by the Sundance Institute and Women in Film Los Angeles. The report found that women directed 24 percent of the films at Sundance between 2002 and 2012. That number shrinks substantially when it comes to big studio productions. Women directed just 4.4 percent of the top 100 films at the box office from 2002 to 2012, the report found.
Lauzen said she believes the gender gap in Hollywood is firmly entrenched but hopes that building awareness can improve the disparity.
"Awareness would be key, and there needs to be some recognition that it's problematic," she said. "There would need to be some kind of recognition that when you have 89 percent of your films directed by men that you're getting a certain perspective not he world. And that's kind of a narrow perspective."
She said an "external intervention" would be needed to change Hollywood in any significant way now.
"I think any sustained and significant change will have to come from some kind of external intervention," Lauzen said. "I do have to say, since I've been doing this study for over a decade, the film industry does appear to be quite entrenched.
"I don't think the industry will change on its own," she said.

The good news? The Hunger Games made $155 million at the box office its opening weekend, making it the third-best debut in North American box office history. The bad news, however, reflects a level of idiocy that we weren't really expecting.
As CNN reports, "Only Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and The Dark Knight — both sequels, with the strength of a franchise behind each — recorded bigger opening weekends." Plus, unlike those two flicks, Hunger Games was written by a woman and stars a woman (much as we love JK Rowling, her series isn't named after Hermione) — making it a true lady-centric blockbuster franchise.
Now as you may know, Katniss, the main character in the book and film, was described as having "straight black hair" and "olive skin." It's a post-apocalyptic world, so she could be a mix of things, but some pictured a Native American. Blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jennifer Lawrence won the part and dyed her hair dark.
But when it came to the casting of Rue, Thresh, and Cinna, many audience members did not understand why there were black actors playing those parts. Cinna's skin is not discussed in the book, so truthfully, though Lenny Kravitz was cast, a white, Asian or Latino actor could have played the part.
But. On page 45 of Suzanne Collins's book, Katniss sees Rue for the first time:
…And most hauntingly, a twelve-year-old girl from District 11. She has dark brown skin and eyes, but other than that's she's very like Prim in size and demeanor…
Later, she sees Thresh:
The boy tribute from District 11, Thresh, has the same dark skin as Rue, but the resemblance stops there. He's one of the giants, probably six and half feet tall and built like an ox.
Dark skin. That is what the novelist, the creator of the series, specified. But there were plenty of audience members who were "shocked," or confused, or just plain angry.
The tumblr Hunger Games Tweets has collected a smattering of Twitter postings, with the goal of exposing "Hunger Games fans on Twitter who dare to call themselves fans yet don't know a damn thing about the books." What people are saying is disappointing, sad, stomach-churning, and just plain racist.
This young woman considered the movie "ruined."
This girl wants to know why they "made all the good characters black." Good people cannot possibly be black. Black people are villainous. Duh.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
At least this person had the good sense to hate himself.
The actress Amandla Stenberg literally looks like a tiny angel, but this movie-goer equates blonde with innocence. A little black girl is not automatically innocent, no. Only a little white girl. Actually, only a blonde.
The posts go on and on and on. It's not just a coupe of tweets, it's not just a coincidence. There's an underlying rage, coming out as overt prejudice and plain old racism. Sternberg is called a "black bitch," a "nigger" and one person writes that though he pictured Rue with "darker skin," he "didn't really take it all the way to black." It's as if that is the worst possible thing a person could be. As the person who runs the tumblr writes:
Here's what scares me…
All these… people… read the Hunger Games. Clearly, they all fell in love with and cared about Rue. Though what they really fell in love with was an image of Rue that they'd created in their minds. A girl that they knew they could love and adore and mourn at the thought of knowing that she's been brutally killed.
And then the casting is revealed (or they go see the movie) and they're shocked to see that Rue is black. Now… this is so much more than, "Oh, she's bigger than I thought". The reactions are all based on feelings of disgust.
These people are MAD that the girl that they cried over while reading the book was "some black girl" all along. So now they're angry. Wasted tears, wasted emotions. It's sad to think that had they known that she was black all along, there would have been [no] sorrow or sadness over her death.
There are MAJOR TIE-INS to these reactions and the injustices that we see around the world today. I don't even need to spell it out because I know that you're all a smart bunch.
This is a BIG problem. Think of all the murdered children. Think of all the missing children that get NO SCREEN TIME on the news.
It is NOT a coincidence.
THIS is the purpose of my blog… and to also point out shitty reading comprehension. LOL
Update: As of 7:00 PM, it looks like the vast majority of these insightful folks have either shut down their Twitter accounts or made them private. Au revoir.

A California food processing plant is voluntarily recalling up to 1 million pounds of roasted pistachio products that may have been contaminated with salmonella, the Food and Drug Administration announced Monday.
The nuts came from Setton Farms in Terra Bella, California, about 75 miles south of Fresno. They were largely distributed in 2,000-pound containers to food wholesalers who would then package them for resale or incorporate them as ingredients in other products, such as ice cream and trail mix. No illnesses have been linked to this case, said Dr. David Acheson, FDA's associate commissioner. But salmonella strains were found last week during routine test by Kraft Foods, one of about three dozen companies that purchase pistachios from Setton Farms, he said. Kraft notified the FDA on March 24. Setton Farms did not immediately respond to CNN requests for comment. Acheson emphasized that unlike the recent case of salmonella-tainted peanut butter, this recall was not prompted by an sickness outbreak, saying the decision was a "proactive" move. He said the FDA has received two recent complaints, from the East and West coasts, from people who say they became ill after eating pistachio products, but a link to Setton Farms has not been confirmed, he said. The FDA is advising consumers not to eat any pistachio products, but not to throw them out, either, because additional recalls are likely and having products that could be turned in would allow for easier tracing of contamination. The agency is setting up a Web site to update the public. Dr. Jeff Farrar, head of the California health department's food and drug division, said it's likely that the roasted pistachios will be found in a wide variety of products. He noted that Setton Farms is the second-largest pistachio processor in the nation. Raw pistachios are roasted to a temperature that should kill salmonella, Acheson said. Because the roasted products tested positive for salmonella suggest cross-contamination with raw products. Acheson added that the Setton Farms recall is related to the one announced Friday by Kroger, a grocery store chain with stores in 31 states. Kroger recalled Private Selection shelled pistachios from its retail stores because of possible salmonella contamination. Kroger, in a statement Friday, said no illnesses have been reported in connection with the product. In February, Kroger was among retailers that recalled peanut products tied to the Peanut Corporation of America, a Virginia-based company accused by the FDA of knowingly selling peanut butter and peanut paste that was contaminated with salmonella. PCA's peanut processing plant in Blakely, Georgia, is being investigated in connection with a salmonella outbreak that has sickened more than 500 people and has been linked to eight deaths.

[UPDATE] Illustration, Comics, and Animation Conference at Dartmouth College, April 19 – 21 2013
What is the future of illustration studies?
What can comics scholars learn from animation studies and vice versa?
Do illustrated books or graphic novels resist the supposed obsolescence of the book?
What do pictures want (now)?
These and related questions will be explored at the Illustration, Comics, and Animation Conference at Dartmouth College to be held April 19 – 21 2013.
Scholars interested in the illustrated image in all of its mediated guises are invited to participate in this interdisciplinary conference. Nearly all illustrated or drawn 'texts' are eligible for consideration:
*comics and graphic novels
*cartoons and animated films
*illustrated books
And given the uniquely plenary nature of the conference, which brings together scholarship on static and moving illustrations, preference will be given to proposals that seek to bridge visual media.
Possible topics may include:
*Individual titles by prominent practitioners
*Identity, subjectivity, ideology, or culture in one or more type of illustration media
*The future of particular schools of criticism (psychoanalysis, critical race theory, phenomenology, Marxism, feminism, queer theory, post-colonialism, formalism, aesthetic theories, etc.) and one or more type of illustration media
The location of the conference may also be a source of inspiration for prospective participants. Not only does Dartmouth College lie in close proximity to the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, Vermont, but it is also the alma mater of Theodore Geisel, Dr. Seuss, whose illustrated books continue to inspire, befuddle, and provoke.
Interested participants may propose individual papers or panels. Individual papers should be no longer than 20 minutes. Panels shall be ninety minutes long and should be comprised of three presenters and one (ideally separate) panel chair. Please send 300 word abstracts and a brief bio for each proposed paper no later than December 1, 2012.
Send all proposals and inquiries to
Michael A. Chaney
