2012 has officially come to a close, and we take a look back at the year that was in the App Store. Thousands upon thousands of apps have been released this year, and many in the games category. We have looked over all the games that were released in 2012, and have selected the 100 best games of 2012 for iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, and iPod touch.
All this week, we will feature the top 50 games of 2012, and we will reveal 10 games at a time. Stay tuned all week for:
Our rankings are based on a five person panel focusing on iOS uniqueness, overall enjoyment, and complete experience. It's now time for #50-41, following #100-51 yesterday.
41.) On The Wind ($1.99, Universal) [Review]: An iOS game that lets you control the wind, and your goal is to survive through the four seasons. You pick up leaves with the wind, and try to maintain at least one leaf for as long as you can. It's an endless game with actual seasons to show your progressions with fewer leaves as you go. There's an absolutely brilliant artistic design coupled with silky smooth touch controls as you control the wind for an exquisite and unique iOS experience.
42.) Zuma's Revenge ($4.99, Universal HD / $1.99, iPhone) [Review]: The classic marble shooter from PopCap has finally made it to iOS with the adventure variation. There are 60 adventure levels with six boss battles, and there's such great gameplay balance. The game has been perfectly balanced for iOS, and it really feels like it was built for touch from the ground-up. The difficulty curve has been brilliantly maintained for consistent challenge that is never overwhelming, and there;s outstanding flow for multiple chains and combos.
43.) Burnout Crash ($4.99, Universal) [Review]: A game all about destruction as you build up multi-car pile-ups to score the most points possible. You send your car into the intersection to begin the first crash, and then you can flick your car a bit at a time to get in the way of more cars. The cars start to pile-up, and soon you set off explosions, and trigger special super events including asteroids, twisters, tidal waves, airplane crashes, and more. There are 18 different intersections across six unique locations with three different game modes for alternating challenges of time attacks, multi-combos, and gigantic destructions. There's simply so much action on screen, and it's all detailed beautifully.
44.) Polymer ($1.99, Universal) [Review]: is one of the most unique games in the App Store, and a top notch puzzle experience. You slide rows and columns to arrange the individual pieces into the biggest shape you can. There are so many possibilities on the board at a given time, and there are four different game modes to test your puzzling skill. This is one of the best puzzle games out there as it introduces a brand new mechanic, but makes it easy for anyone to understand and enjoy. The art design is as finely crafted as you will find, and there's now multiplayer too.
45.) Azkend 2 ($3.99, Universal HD / $2.99, iPhone) [Review]: A sequel to the previously best match three game in the App Store that pits you trying to match every tile to clear the board. The sequel maintains the same style, but increases the size, and complexity of each board with unique challenges on individual levels. There's an all new Jules Verne-esque storyline that turns the match three style into a true adventure game complete with collectibles, and deluxe power-ups. There's also an absolutely exquisite design.
46.) Air Mail ($2.99, Universal) [Review]: The ultimate highlight is the total immersion in the 3D piloting adventure so that you feel in complete control, and connection with flying the plane. The game pits you in a bi-plane transporting mail bundles, collecting fish, dusting crops, diverting disaster, and launching fireworks. Each level provides a unique challenge to keep the flying fresh, and it's such a smooth flying experience with the great touch controls. The 3D graphics are at the top for iOS games whether you're flying through the adventure or simply exploring aimlessly through the beautifully crafted worlds.
47.) Ragdoll Blaster 3 ($0.99, iPhone / $2.99, iPad) [Review]: Ragdoll Blaster 2 is still a phenomenal game, and one of the best physics puzzlers in the App Store, but Ragdoll Blaster 3 greatly improves upon the formula with over 100 levels across five unique worlds. There's a brand new 3D physics engine with improved ragdolls with a patchwork art style. It's great to witness it all in action as you aim to launch the ragdolls to the bullseye on each given level. Every single one of the over 100 levels includes a unique challenge, and you'll just want to keep playing.
48.) Slingshot Racing ($0.99, Universal) [Review] is a genre changing racing game that is perfectly suited for touch with a unique mechanic where you simply tap to latch on, and slingshot around curves. You latch on with a rope, and then release to slingshot on to the next part of the track. It's such a brilliant game mechanic that allows for simplicity, high speeds, and a direct connection to the action on screen. Rather than simply tapping gas and break buttons, you need to focus on momentum with timing as everything. There are four different game modes across 64 races as well as online multiplayer.
49.) Granny Smith ($0.99, Universal) [Review] : an action packed roller skating platformer where Granny is out to get back her stolen apples from a thief. In each level, Granny roller skates automatically, and you tap one side to jump over obstacles or gaps, and tap the other for granny to slide along wires with her cane. It's unlike anything else in the App Store, and a rather exhilarating ride thanks to exquisite level design, and the need to outrace a chubby kid to get back the apple he stole. The art design, and physics engine are exquisite as well.
50.) King Oddball ($0.99, Universal) [Review]: A physics puzzler that is perfect to play in quick bursts or surprisingly long sessions. There's a brilliant one touch control scheme to play anywhere as you simply tap the screen to launch stones to try to destroy every tank, helicopter, and soldier on screen. It's all timing based as the stone swings back and forth, and you need to tap to release at the right moment. There's a great them as you play as the bad guy, and the game is bursting with content with 120 levels in addition to all kinds of specific challenge modes.

The long summer holidays will be even more enjoyable than usual for the youngsters of Rainworth - thanks to a new play area and skatepark.
Work on the £260,000 project, which has been in the pipeline for three years started after a mammoth fundraising effort, is to officially open on Saturday, August 15 at 11am.
Mum Clare Salmon, of the Rainworth Skatepark Association association, came up with the idea for the park off Kirklington Road because Rainworth is desperately short of play facilities for youngsters of all ages.
She said: "The skate park is coming on really well.
"We are really pleased with it and everyone is really excited about having a go on it. The play area is already open - the last bit of concrete is due to go on in August and everything will be good to go."
The Skate park was due to open in July but work was prolonged after vandals set fire to a gazebo which had to be rebuilt.
Clare said: "I want to thank Linda Parker and her husband who rebuilt it for us and Rainworth Fencing and Peggs in Mansfield Woodhouse, who donated wood for the fencing."
The park has evolved into a true community project, with funding from a host of sources, including £75,000 from WREN, a not-for-profit business that awards grants from landfill tax.
WREN boss Peter Cox said: "This will be a fantastic space for local people to get outdoors and have fun. We are delighted to support it."
A total of £130,000 has come from the developers of three housing schemes in Rainworth, while £50,000 has been awarded from Notts County Council's supporting local communities fund.
Clare said such co-operation was "the way forward for improving communities".
She also thanked Rainworth Parish Council, who will maintain the park, and Newark and Sherwood District Council for their support.
The land has been leased from Rainworth Welfare for a peppercorn rent.

What Our Customers have to Say
IT Manager Mark Carter
Roanoke, VA
Lawrence Companies was in need of improving employee communications and at a time when everyone's inbox stays full, we were looking for another solution. It needed to be secure, but easy to access for everyone as well as those who update the content. Needing to reach hundreds of employees and contractors we turned to SiteVision for assistance. Within just a couple weeks of providing our wish list we were live. Needless to say we were impressed and excited.
It was a joy to work with local developers and a local hosting company and I am sure as our site expands SiteVision will be there to grow with us!
Honey Pezzimenti
Education Coordinator, Respiratory Care Services for the Children's National Health System
"Since the launch of the new VSRC website, I've gotten an overwhelming response from board members and respiratory therapists throughout the state of Virginia. They love the professional look of the new site and aren't ashamed to refer peers to the new site. "
"Working with SiteVision on the updating and re-launch of our professional society website has been a dream. Christina went above and beyond all expectations I had and was absolutely incredible to work with. I would gladly recommend this company to anyone and everyone."
Kim Hynes
Richmond, VA
"CVWMA has had a long working relationship with Pat, Shannon and the SiteVision team of experts: from the inception of our customized Call Center application back in 1999 to the launch of our new website in September 2013. We thoroughly enjoy working with the SiteVision team – it is always a pleasure. The team is extremely responsive and Andrew, Steve, Christina in addition to Pat and Shannon are very knowledgeable and go above and beyond! They do what they say they are going to do, in a timely fashion and in a professional manner. They are genuinely happy to have our business, big or small and it is obvious, they love what they do. Their enthusiasm about every job is refreshing! We look forward to continuing the relationship for many years to come."
Boone Tractor
"Boone Tractor appreciates the efforts and work of Site Vision. When third party companies are calling us to sell us web services we are proud to say –
Site Vision already provides us the services they are trying to sell. Many of these other web companies are just 'Re-sellers' of third party web apps…
with Site Vision we have a person on the other side to call and talk to that responds immediately. With the customer list that Site Vision has in Government we know our private site is secure and has always been handled as though we were number one!"
Bill Berthrong
Virginia Department of Health
While in the process of preparing Virginia's application for continued participation in the Hospital Preparedness Program, I have had cause to review our progress in the past six years as well as to consider the challenges that lay ahead. I believe that Virginia has achieved a high standard in assisting our hospitals in disaster response preparedness, and significant credit for accomplishment is due to you and your colleagues at SiteVision, Inc. for your outstanding work as a sub-contractor to the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association.
You and your colleagues at SiteVision have provided state-of-the-art technical expertise, innovative ideas to accommodate the unique requirements of our various IT system demands, and an overall outstanding level of customer service. The responsiveness of SiteVision to our program deadlines, system tests and exercises, and real world events reflects a high level of professionalism and "something extra". SiteVision staff including yourself, Shannon Carr and others on your technical support team have often demonstrated that "something extra" in your work with the Hospital Preparedness Program. Besides being communications technology experts and honest, dependable business partners, you are also citizens who care about our shared community, our Commonwealth and our Country.
It has been a pleasure to work with SiteVision in serving Virginia through achieving Hospital Preparedness Program technology related objectives, and I look forward to continued success in our partnership.

George Dehne, President
Like most moderate size companies, GDA Integrated Services went from one unsuccessful IT vendor to another. Either they were not reliable or they couldn't do what we needed. That is until we were introduced to SiteVision. They had been doing the backend on our mini-websites including broadcast emails to students, collecting student information, mini-tours of college campuses, and content management web application. They were so successful that now they operate and support our servers and host both our company and service websites. When I or anyone on our staff has a question, the SiteVision folks respond promptly.
We are consulting and advertising firm for colleges and universities. As one can imagine the staff at these institutions can be quite critical. However, thanks to SiteVision, GDA Integrated Services hosts 'sales' websites for at least a dozen colleges and universities. We would never have offered that service without SiteVision.

The Princeton Engineering Council honored five instructors this week from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering with its annual Excellence in Teaching Awards. Winners of the award include professor Richard Register, visiting research scholar C. Morris Smith, and graduate students Michail Alifierakis, Chet Markwalter and Katelyn Randazzo. The award came as a surprise to Randazzo, who, as a first-time teacher, felt apprehension heading into the semester. She assisted professor R
Hydroxyhexafluoroisopropylnorbornene Block and Random Copolymers as Biobutanol Pervaporation Membranes
New permselective polymeric materials to enable the recovery and concentration of butanol from dilute aqueous solution, such as fermentation broth have been developed. Energy-efficient recovery of butanol is an essential enabling technology for the large-scale production of butanol as both a chemical building block, and eventually, biofuel.
Mechanical Properties of Star Block Polymer Thermoplastic Elastomers with Glassy and Crystalline End Blocks
Changing from a linear to a star block copolymer architecture can yield substantial improvements in the properties of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), such as their tensile strength and recovery from deformation. TPEs are melt-processable, reprocessable and recyclable, but typically show incomplete recovery from deformation when compared with conventional vulcanized elastomers.
Athanassios Panagiotopoulos, Susan Dod Brown Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering, became chair of Princeton's Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering on July 1. He succeeds Richard Register, Eugene Higgins Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering, who completed 8 years of service as department chair on June 30 and has returned to full-time research and teaching in the department.
The Blavatnik Family Foundation just announced that recent CBE / PCCM postdoctoral fellow Arash Nikoubashman won a 2015 Blavatnik Regional Award for Young Scientists in Chemistry.

Winners are awarded $30,000 each in unrestricted funds. Nikoubashman was recognized for simulations of self-assembly of block
In work described as "a major breakthrough" by the peer-reviewers, a Princeton CBE-led collaboration has synthesized new block and random copolymers which are exceptionally well-suited to the recovery of butanol from dilute aqueous solutions, such as fermentation broth; these materials could represent an important development in the energy-efficient continuous production of this chemical building block and potential biofuel. Published in the October 13 issue of the American Che

Recent collaborative work from the groups of CBE Professors Ilhan Aksay, Bob Prud'homme, and Rick Register has shown that functional graphene sheets (FGS) make effective multifunctional nano-fillers for several types of elastomers, simultaneously improving mechanical properties, reduce gas permeation, and impart electrical conductivity. This combination of property improvements is unavailable in any other filler, including carbon black and nanoclay, and result from the high aspect ratio an
CBE graduate student Sheng Li and Professor Rick Register, studying materials synthesized by alumna Sasha Myers *08, have recently uncovered an unexpectedly broad range of nanoscale structures in polymers containing chemically dissimilar crystallizable blocks. Moreover, the structure can be tuned either through synthesis (total and block molecular weights), or through processing (such as crystallization during fiber drawing or quiescently). The latter aspect of this work was featured

Also involved was postdoctoral student Steffen Berg, who used a soap bubble machine to illustrate some features of the


text: The leaders of North and South Korea pledged on Thursday to bring peace to the Cold War's last frontier by seeking talks with China and the United States to formally end the 1950-1953 Korean War. The agreement came at the end of only the second summit between the divided Koreas whose war ended with an armistice not a peace treaty. "North and South Korea shared the view they must end the current armistice and build a permanent peace regime," South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il said in a joint statement at the end of their three-day meeting in Pyongyang. The agreement also called for setting up the first regular freight train service since the war, meetings of ministers and defense officials as well as establishing a cooperation zone around a contested sea border on the west of the peninsula. Thank God !

Job Objective Examples
Job objective examples show a prospective employer how you intend to use your experience while working for the company, and what you hope to achieve in the short-term. When you use job objective examples, you give your resume a chance to stand out from the crowd and allow the company to get to know you in a few short sentences. A job objective can be a powerful thing on your resume, so use these job objective examples to help model your own qualifications into a statement that will grab employers' attention.
- Sales Professional. A sales professional can cover a wide variety of industries, but the basic job objective example is the same. A good example is "I would like to use my past experience as a sales professional to increase company revenue, and I would like to become more involved in the technical side of sales."
- Trainer or Teacher. When you present a resume for the position of corporate trainer or school teacher, your job objective examples will be very similar. An objective such as "To bring my experiences as a teacher into a setting where I can a positive effect on those looking to learn" is a good way to start your job objective.
- Security Guard. Security guards are becoming more sought after in the job market, and this job objective example will help your resume stand out. "To bring my past training and expeirence to creating a productive and safe workplace for the company's employees, and to continue to improve on my skills as a security professional."
- Customer Service. Customer service professionals play a significant role in retaining customers and growing revenue. That is why employers only want the best available talent. To make your customer service resume stand out, use a form of this job objective example: "To maintain company profits by using my experience in customer service to provide a positive experience for the customer. I would also like to continue my education in the customer service field, and expand my understanding of the customer service industry."
- Marketing Professional. Applying for marketing jobs can be tricky because there are several interpretations of what marketing does for a company. An enthusiastic job objective example, such as this one, would be appropriate: "I want to expand my ability to create focused and effective marketing campaigns by applying my experience to the future needs of the company. I would also like to become better versed in the many aspects of marketing such as press releases, web content and gauging a return on investment."

Chelsea 2 Hull 0: Oscar and Lampard make it easy for Jose as Blues beat tame Tigers
It started with a kiss. It ended with a hug and a custard cream. And in between, Chelsea swiftly adopted the traditional look of a Jose Mourinho team.
Three points were banked thanks to an exceptional early burst of intensity, with two goals in the first 25 minutes from Oscar and Frank Lampard before Chelsea coasted in.
There were traces of the 'what-we-have-we-keep' mentality and the clean-sheets on which Mourinho's two Barclays Premier League titles were built but this was not a day to quibble about such matters.

creams from the press-room steward who remembered the biscuits he liked
best. It is a happy home indeed. Those who predict it will end in tears
must hold their tongues for now. 'I want them to sing about the players
and the club, not Jose,' he added. 'I know how much they love me.'
30 seconds into the game, Mourinho was on his feet, furiously
scribbling notes into a miniature notepad which he slung into the crowd
after the final whistle.
Bruce was in no doubt the mood had worked against his Hull team and he
was probably right. Those who made it interim hell for Rafa Benitez with
their songs and their cardboard-and-marker-pen creations generated an
altogether different atmosphere.

commitment and desire. Players sign up to the ethic and work for each
other. After last time, the fans do not doubt him. They all trust their
leader to supply the organisation and strategy and, in fairness, he
rarely lets them down on that score.
Stopped: McGregor parried away Branislav Ivanovic's header
No goal: GDS shows Ivanovic's effort didn't cross the line
By Graham Poll
Referee Jon Moss put in a good performance at Stamford Bridge and he had an easy decision to award a penalty when Hull keeper Allan McGregor flattened Chelsea striker Fernando Torres as he tried to punch the ball away.
But it was good to see that, unlike Anthony Taylor in Arsenal's defeat by Aston Villa, Moss recognised the challenge was careless and did not caution the Scot.
The most contentious decision came in the build-up to Chelsea's second goal. Moss awarded the home side a free kick when Torres went to ground though replays showed there was no contact with James Chester.
However, I thought Moss was right as Chester's outstretched leg did not play the ball and impeded Torres' progress. The fact that Torres jumped over the leg did not negate the foul.
As the game petered out Moss did wave away penalty appeals when Robbie Brady clearly pushed Branislav Ivanovic but that aside Moss had a good start to his season.
on, Chelsea kept going at Hull. Bruce's plan to pin Ashley Cole and
Branislav Ivanovic back was overwhelmed by the sheer force of the home
Danny Graham
became totally isolated up front for the visitors and they barely got
out of their own half for 30 minutes. When they crossed halfway, Ramires
would strip the ball away from them like a retriever.
Hazard, Kevin de Bruyne and Oscar were the key to this extended spell
of pressure, with wonderful movement and urgency. The trio were all
involved in the opener.
Bruyne collected the ball from Hazard and threaded a pass into the feet
of Oscar, who stabbed his shot under McGregor as the goalkeeper dashed
from his line.
McGregor produced a terrific reflex save to turn a Lampard effort over but was at fault as the same player smashed a 35-yard free-kick past him 20 minutes before half time.
drew the foul from James Chester. Hull boss Bruce claimed there was no
contact but the free- kick was given and Lampard struck his shot well.
The ball wobbled but it flew straight at McGregor, who threw up his
hands, misjudged the flight and was unable to stop its route into the
Tempo drained away from there. McGregor saved again from Lampard and Gary Cahill fired just wide on the turn. Ivanovic thought he had scored a header in first-half stoppage time but McGregor somehow clawed it away.
There was no endless debate because the goal-line technology proved to everyone that the ball was not over the line. It had been a brilliant save to make up for earlier errors.
The second half fell flat. Mourinho claimed afterwards that Hazard, Oscar and De Bruyne were simply unable to maintain the levels of energy they had produced before the break.
They had been 'fantastic' he said, during a first half which he claimed was better than anything he had seen during his first spell at Stamford Bridge, but he admitted they then 'disappeared'.
Joyous: Fans took to their craft sets again but this time to mark Mourinho's return, not to disapprove of board decisions
Shepherd: John Terry was rarely threatened by Hull's new signing Yannick Sagbo
Hull will have less difficult days than this in the top flight, but they did little to help themselves, giving possession away cheaply.
Lampard had another shot saved as half-time approached and, from a corner, Ivanovic had a header blocked on the line by McGregor.
There was no reaction from referee Jonathan Moss, whose watch did not buzz - it would alert him if the ball had crossed the line - and Hull were relieved to be only two down at the interval.
By Riath Al-Samarrai
An interesting day for Frank Lampard. In each of the past four seasons before this one he has missed a single penalty and he has used up his blip early this time round, having his spot kick saved in the first half.
He has now missed two of his last three penalties, having scored the previous 10 in competitive games. He also set a record for opening-day appearances — 18, taking him past Paul Scholes — and levelled Alan Shearer's mark of eight for opening-day goals.
Goal-line technology was properly put through its paces for the first time — and it passed the test with flying colours. The new Goal Decision System's moment of truth arrived in first-half injury time when Branislav Ivanovic headed goalwards, only for Allan McGregor to pull off a superb stop. An injury provided a break in the game that was necessary to review the action and, within seconds, a 'No goal' flashed up.
Rafa Benitez might have thought John Terry was on the wane, but he had the best passing stats of all starters — 94.5 per cent of 55 passes reached a team-mate. He also made 100 per cent of tackles, but it says a lot that he only had one challenge to make.
A tough day for Hull striker Danny Graham. He was offloaded this summer by Sunderland after failing to score in 11 games and yesterday he was subbed off within an hour. He had not managed a single shot.
New man: Kevin De Bruyne impressed on debut for the Blues
Chelsea were content to bide their time in the opening exchanges of the second period and home goalkeeper Petr Cech was required to make a save for the first time when Robert Koren shot straight at him.
The Tigers were fortunate not to concede a second penalty when Ivanovic was pushed over by Robbie Brady before Hull appealed in vain for handball when Yannick Sagbo's shot was driven at Lampard's chest.
Even so, the Chelsea boss wanted more and could be seen stamping his foot on the touchline when he thought John Terry and Cahill had spent too long passing it around between themselves and Petr Cech at the back.
Bright: Torres looked sharp as he lead the Chelsea line
threw on new signings Jake Livermore and Tom Huddlestone and looked
marginally more effective without really threatening to find a way
back. Cech spilled a long-range effort from Robert Koren but was not
punished and made an assured save when a Curtis Davies header appeared
to be destined for the corner.
Schurrle came on and went close to a debut Chelsea goal on the break
but the visitors were happy to return to East Yorkshire without
suffering the morale-sapping hammering which had looked possible at
Bruce and
Mourinho embraced before the Chelsea manager darted down the tunnel. He
did not linger after extending his unbeaten Premier League home record
to 61 games.
The point had been made. Mourinho was back with a kiss. And for those who poured out of the Bridge into Fulham Broadway, it must have felt like the kiss of life.
By Neil Moxley
Dynamic duo
SOME people are struggling to come to terms with Sky's new double act. Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville were at the game, and Michael Owen tweeted: 'Who'd have thought all those years ago that Carra and @GNev2 would now be sat next to each other having a friendly chat?!'
No place like home...
The bedrock of Chelsea's success under Mourinho in his first spell was the club's form at Stamford Bridge. Undefeated during his first spell in charge, he won 152 points from a possible 180. It didn't look like he would start with anything less than three out of three yesterday.
Bitter pill to swallow
Out of the players omitted by Chelsea's new manager in his first line-up, Marco Van Ginkel had the greatest cause for complaint. Only five other players — who all started — have completed more minutes on the pitch during the club's pre-season than the midfielder.
Hanging around
Although there were only a couple of banners hanging from the upper tier of the Shed End, there were plenty more home-made ones in the crowd. The television cameras had a field day.
Torrid for Torres
Fernando Torres failed to look like he would score against Hull. But then again he has hardly been prolific in the build-up games. He failed to find the net once. It was the same again yesterday, but he did win a penalty for his side.
Hats off to Rafa
For all that the new boss went into the new campaign after taking a verbal pot-shot at Rafael Benitez, Chelsea won the Europa League and got 20 points from 24 on offer in the last eight games. It wasn't all bad under the Spaniard.

This is a summary of a presentation in Symposium 222. Molecular Basis of Addiction: Neurocognitive Deficits and Memory Mon, Apr 28, 9:55 AM - 12:10 PM at the 2014 Experimental Biology meeting.
Mon, Apr 28, 10:25 - 10:40 AM Amphetamine exposure during development causes epigenetic trans-generational changes in drug sensitivity in Caenorhabditis elegant. Authors: Talus McCowan, Bryan Safratowich, Joyce Ohm, Lucia Carvelli
McCowen* presented a study which showed transgenerational effects of amphetamine in a C. elegans model.
Caenorhabditis elegans is a nematode about 1 mm long which has the dubious virtue of having 302 neurons of which a mere 8 are dopaminergic. This makes for a tractable model, particularly when you think you might want to model the entire nervous system.
The model involved Swimming Induced Paralysis (SWIP) which can be induced in a liquid medium by treating the worm with amphetamine. This is a time and dose dependent phenomenon which has been shown to depend on the dopamine transporter and D2/3-like dopamine receptors. Classic targets of the amphetamines.
The study exposed eggs to 500 uM amphetamine or control media for 15 hours. After maturation of the worms, they were subjected to the SWIP test in which it was found that the egg-exposed animals had an enhanced freezing response. In this case it was an increased percentage of the worms freezing in the context of a moderate dose, selected to give parametric range on either side. The authors then examined the F1 generation of worms, which had received no drug treatment up until the SWIP challenge. here it was found that the F1 offspring of the F0 worms exposed to amphetamine during development also had an enhanced response to amphetamine.
The lab is interested in methylation of histones as an epigenetic mechanism that might possibly convey this effect. They found decreases of histone H3 Lys4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) in the F1 offspring of amphetamine incubated worms compared with the offspring of control worms. This was selective as there was no difference in H3K27me3 expression.
Obviously this is just a start, one would think that the advantage of the worm is that you could go out for generations quite readily, in comparison with rodents (see below). So presumably this story will advance by the time we see it in publication. Nevertheless, this joins a growing appreciation of the transgenerational effects of drug. While there are many caveats in translating this to humans, it certainly puts a bright spotlight on familial abuse patterns and our potential targets for explaining them.

*The speaker identified himself as a first year graduate student. I think he did a bang up job of the presentation and of handling the questions.

Taken from the square in front of the Royal Palace of Monaco.
A sovereign and independent state, the Principality of Monaco has borders on its landward side with several communes of the French Department of the Alpes-Maritimes; from west to east these are Cap d'Ail, la Turbie, Beausoleil and Roquebrune Cap Martin. Seawards, Monaco faces the Mediterranean Sea.
Its surface area is 485 acres, of which nearly 100 were recovered from the sea during the course of the last twenty years. Monaco lies on a narrow coastal strip, which sometimes rises vertically upwards with its highest point at 206 feet. Its width varies between .65 miles and a mere 382 yards. Its coastline is 2.5 miles long. The Principality has only one commune, Monaco, whose limits are the same as those of the state.

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
What incidents prompts anne's family to move into hiding?
After 1940, Hitler conquered Holland and brought anti-Jewish measures there. Jews were forced to wear yellow stars as marks of identification; they had to hand in their bicycles and were not allowed to use trams or public facilities. They were segregated into Jewish shops and Jewish schools and not allowed to visit Christian homes. As Anne says, "Our freedom was strictly limited." Mr. Frank's business is doing poorly, as no one will do business with a Jew.
The first line for Anne's entry of July 8 lets us know that something crucial has happened: "Years seem to have passed between Sunday and now." At three o'clock on Sunday afternoon, she was reading on the verandah, waiting for Harry to come visit her. When the doorbell rings, she barely notices it. Her sister Margot comes to her, very excited, and says that the SS has sent up a call notice for Mr. Frank. Anne is instantly frightened--a call-up notice means "concentration camps and lonely cells."
In the privacy of their bedroom, Margot tells Anne that the call-up notice was for her, not for Mr. Frank. Anne is horrified that the SS would call a sixteen-year-old girl alone. With questions swirling in her head, she begins packing "the craziest things" into a school satchel in preparation to go into hiding. At five o'clock Mr. Frank arrives, and the speed of the preparations picks up. They leave the next morning, wearing layers and layers of clothes. ("No Jew in our situation would have dreamed of going out with a suitcase full of clothing," Anne explains.) Only Anne's cat is left behind.

New Scientist magazine recently published a ridiculous chart, with Comic Network aesthetic, bold colors and fat radial lines exploding outwards. Unfortunately, it entirely missed the reason why we make charts: to communicate an argument by using our eye's ability to compare amounts across a page.
Moreover, below the chartjunk lay an important story about resource depletion on our small planet. This story deserved to be told, and so I did. I drew a cleaned and clear version, containing the same data as the original. Here it is. (click on the image to embiggen.)
The chart above is my version, and the New Scientist's original is below.
The theory about resource depletion comes from Hubbert's Peak. The theory about chartjunk comes from Tufte's groundbreaking, beautiful, and expensive books (all three of them), as well as from Rafe M.J. Donahue's outstanding free course notes on information design. America's fair share was computed according to one particular definition of 'fair', namely, the current world consumption times the percentage of the world's population living in the US.

Total Recall
(out of 4)
Starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, Bokeem Woodbine and Bill Nighy. Directed by Len Wiseman. 118 minutes. Opening Aug. 3 at major theatres. 14A
Total Recall suffers from amnesia, which is normally a good thing for a remake. Who wants to watch a straight repeat of what came before?
Yet in this case, a little memory would go a long way. Missing in action from this sci-fi actioner, apart from a trip to Mars, is much of the dark humour that made the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger original so entertaining.
Colin Farrell is a fine dramatic choice to play blue-collar warrior Douglas Quaid, the man who knew too little. He's also capable of humour, as Horrible Bosses proved last summer and which he demonstrates here with a few droll asides.
But Farrell lacks Schwarzenegger's zest for the cheesy one-liner — such as when Ah-nold grunted "SCREW YOU!" at a man he'd just impaled on an industrial drill.
You can hardly blame Farrell for this, since only Schwarzenegger is Schwarzenegger. And Paul Verhoeven directed his version of Total Recall as a comedy vehicle for the big guy, which is why he didn't pay much heed to Philip K. Dick's 1966 short story that inspired it, We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.
Len Wiseman guides his committee-written remake as if he has something else in mind: namely, the Underworld undead franchise that he writes and occasionally directs. He casts his Underworld lead, Kate Beckinsale, in the significant role of Mrs. Quaid, and gives her vastly more screen time by essentially combining her character with the one played by Michael Ironside in the 1990 Total Recall.
That's not the only change. The setting is disagreeably Earthbound: Mars is only talked about, and the setting is a Toronto smudged up and digitally tweaked to be a post-Apocalypse London of the 22nd century.
It's all relentlessly grey buildings and artificially lit interiors, with few of the vivid colour flourishes of Verhoeven's take. If it weren't for the airborne cars zipping about and Star Wars shock troopers that seem to have been borrowed from George Lucas, you'd almost take this to be T.O. decades from now, the deserved result of our permanent planning paralysis.
Toronto spotters won't recognize much beyond glimpses of the financial district, waterfront highways and the TTC's film-loving Lower Bay station.
For this, they shut Lake Shore Blvd. for two days last summer?
Earth has been reduced to two functioning locations: the United Federation of Britain, which seems to combine U.K. territory with American leadership and Blade Runner inhabitants, and The Colony, a.k.a. Australia, where low-paid factory drones such as Farrell's Quaid reside. He commutes to the UFB each day via a funhouse ride called The Fall, accompanied by best pal Harry (Bokeem Woodbine).
There's trouble in non-paradise. The UFB is being rocked by explosions led by a "terrorist" named Matthias (Bill Nighy, non-terrifying), who opposes the ruling empire of the brutal Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston, slightly scary).
It's all too much for Quaid, who yearns to briefly check out of reality via the chemical and electrical stimulants of Rekall, a mind-vacation firm located in a seedy section of town, next to a tattoo parlour.
The neighbourhood alone should be warning enough for Quaid, but before you can say, "Better look that up on TripAdvisor," he's being shot at by storm troopers and on the run for his life. He's either been mistaken for somebody important — "I'm nobody!" he shouts — or he has somehow forgotten important personal details, which include close ties with a spunky amazon named Melina (Jessica Biel).
What begins as an unnecessary-but-OK remake steadily becomes an annoying one. The antagonists take turns pointing guns at each other, diving through walls and setting off those Acme Co. bombs with red LED timers that people apparently still use 100 years from now. They also spend a lot of time talking about what's real and what isn't, and who's doing what to whom, providing much more exposition than this film needs.
Total Recall is better with the details than its predecessor, and some of them provide a few laughs, such as a brief flash of currency with Barack Obama's face on them (will the U.S. yield to U.K. rule sometime this century? Discuss).
But it makes you yearn for the screw-you goofiness of Verhoeven's film, which was considerably more violent but also more fun. The new movie repeats the visual pun about a three-breasted hooker, but even though it looks much more realistic thanks to CGI, it's still a 22-year-old gag.
This remake about memory gone awry failed to heed the warning of the Rekall technician early in the film: "Remember to have a good time."

Beauty & The Beat: Bassbuds reviewSaturday, November 24, 2012
Did I just make a Justin Bieber reference? Yes, yes I did, you are free to leave if you'd like but I promise the only thing Justin Bieber in this post is THIS:
BUAHAHAHAHAHA WHY YES, YES I DID BUY A JB T-SHIRT (link)! I got an e-mail from Ardene showcasing their shirts and... it's 2/20.. and I have another JB fan friend so WHY NOT. WE WILL JAM.
Onto the actual purpose of this post..
Disclaimer: I was sent Bassbuds to try and review, what's written is 100% my honest opinion.
I'm a headphones girl most of the time, I like my music to sound crisp and block out the rest of the world. There are downsides to this, like not being able to wear high ponytails/buns (like in the photos) or hearing when people talk to you.. or like today when someone on the train starts yelling at you (really appreciate your manners old lady on the train).
So, 98% of you will all be jealous of my newly acquired ear buds, I actually dislike pink and was a bit disappoint, I admit, but at least they really stand out and look different. I like things that look different!
They come with different sizes for those squishy ear bed things and I immediately put the small ones in and they fit perfectly. What was more surprising what that it didn't fall out of my left ear (tragus piercing), my other ear buds NEVER would stay in.
...derp, wrong ear! But hey, you get to see one of the things that really distinguishes Bassbuds from the rest. Genuine Swaroski crystal, yep that's right, there's REAL bling on your ear! I'm not a huge crystals person for most things but I like a little and I think it's quite the nice touch to these.
There is a mic! Hallelujah! If there is one thing that would make me switch to buds, it's having a mic. I listen to music when I'm out most of the time and when I get calls it's a nuisance to take off my headphones so I can hear and talk to whomever is calling me. I tested these by calling some people and was told my voice actually sounded more clear than normal, bonus!
You also have the option to not only play and pause by pressing this little guy but also control the volume, go to the next song or one previous. Unfortunately for me it doesn't seem compatible with my phone (Nexus S, Google Play Music app); all I'm able to do is play and pause. This really isn't an issue for me but when I get my new phone (hi Nexus 4!) I'm hoping it'll work because it is a cool option and would make things easier for me. Anyone have these and use a newer modelled phone?
The cord is "Gold-plated 3.5mm audio jack for optimum connectivity" now, I don't know much about cords but I know 90% of the time when my headphones break it's because I've done something to the wire which is always plastic. Even my fibre wire phones broke! I was most excited to see this part. They don't even feel plasticy or anything!
Welcome to my fail hair-bow, hey, it was my first try!
Noise-control: since I switched to the smaller squishy bed things, they fit my ear comfortable and do a really good job at noise control. This is probably what I'm most shocked at. Noise control is very important to me, I don't want to hear people chatting on the subway or the traffic when I'm outside, just the music. These really block outside noise exceptionally, not as much as my headphones but my friends and family often complain about not being able to get my attention and really, hearing a little bit of the outside is better for safety reasons too.
Comfort: I wore these for around 3~4 hours straight today to test and didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable. The beds (what is the official name for those squishy things?!) are very soft and because they fit so nicely in my ears I don't feel discomfort.
Bassbuds has the whole fashion aspect down pat. they have a pretty killer "fashion collection", my personal favourites are Envy and Rhythm. Even though I'm not a fan of pink I admit it really stands out in person, I'm not sure if these pictures even do it justice, it IS a nice design. Even the buttons, they're small but sleek.
Sound Quality: at first I wasn't impressed but I know a lot of ear buds and headphones have a "burn-out" time. If you don't know you basically fresh-out-of-the-box headphones and earbuds usually need time to adjust and mature their sound (more info here). I used them as my main music source and definitely noticed a difference afterwards. Once "burned-in" the sound was stellar! I wouldn't say it's as crisp as my headphones but a good second runner.
Overall I'm very satisfied with these and am glad to own a pair. I would definitely recommend these if noise control and sound quality is important AND if you want something to differentiate from the other ear-buds around town. Ear-buds are super small and great to slip in my purse (unlike my headphones, I still love you even though you have your flaws!).
Filosophie readers get $30 off their purchase with this code: BB75264
So, I told you what my favourite pairs are, now it's your turn! Check out BassBuds and let me know you're favourite design! What do you usually use, ear buds or headphones?


text: Working off the TLT and IEF charts I am seeing a divergency between price and obv/trix. Other few interesting things to mention are extreme spikes in call activity and money flow which indicates either extreme bullish sentiment or buying power exhaustion. Either way, I think TLT will head towards 86.50ish and in doing so will reinforce and confirm the bearish sentiment for equities in the early part of 2007.

I had a wonderful 4th Wedding Anniversary last Thursday. It seems so strange to say that I have been married for 4 years because my husband Jim and I have been together for 14 years...YES I KNOW - it only took him 10 years to finally commit! LOL..and I never let him forget it! But honestly, I think we did the right thing by purchasing our house first, pay off our student loans (only took about 15 years - YIKES!) and then finally got married and had a baby after our finances were in order. Now a little baby girl on the way in 4 weeks - we couldn't be happier! 14 years in the making - planning our life together. From major career changes to family tragedies - we've been through so much together and I am glad we had each other to share these moments, good or bad. For now, we finally get to sit back and see what else comes our way! When you have kids, it definitely feels like a new chapter! No more late nights at the bar, but instead late nights rocking babies to sleep - No more eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches when you are too tired to cook...eer, umm...at least not as much -LOL! So, this little back story of a glimpse into our lives leads me to talk about the gift my husband and son picked out together. Have you ever heard of a Pandora charm bracelet? I think l am probably the only girl on earth who hasn't! Haha! This is what my boys picked out for me. There is only one charm on it so far, and my first charm represents my son Kolby. Its the sweetest little thing. I can't wait to get one to represent my little girl next! What a great idea to have a bracelet that tells a story of your life. I love it - but boy, are they ever pricey! I guess this is what makes it a special treat! =)
Happy 4th of July to my neighbours in the USA! We had a wonderful Canada Day weekend, and Kolby enjoyed watching the Fireworks. Sadly, I was not very mobile this weekend b/c my hip is giving me a lot of pain from the baby (my Doctor says I shouldn't be walking - HA!). So taking her advice, I decided to remain somewhat couch bound and design some digital scrapbook papers and another digital stamp. I have a pile of unfinished sets of scrapbook papers and felt it was time to get at least another added to the new store. Hard to find the time these days-but I do plan on adding another set soon! I may take them right out of my Etsy shop b/c they are such a pain to email as the files are so big! It is so handy that my new online store allows instant downloads rather than me having to send 4 separate emails for 1 Etsy order! Y AY! This depended on what was ordered of course - but man, what a pain! Alright, enough whining - here are my new digital images, which can be found in my online store:
