pstrong1901: /strongAnimation pioneer Walt Disney and nuclear physicist Werner Heisenberg are born. So, if you've ever thought the Uncertainty Principle was a bit goofy, you may be onto something. /pp Disney was born in Chicago, but spent much of his childhood on a Missouri farm. He sold his first sketches to neighbors at age 7. Rejected for military service because he was too young, he drove a Red Cross ambulance at the end of World War I. He covered the entire vehicle with cartoons. /pp Disney went to work after the war as an advertising artist in Kansas City and sold his first animated cartoons. He went to a href="http://www.norsknettskole.no/fag/ressurser/itstud/fuv/gunnargrodal/bio.htm"Hollywood/a and partnered with his brother Roy in 1923. /pp Mickey Mouse debuted to the public in the first sound-synch cartoon, citeSteamboat Willie/cite in 1928. /pp Disney added Technicolor to animation the 1932 Silly Symphonies cartoon citeFlowers and Trees/cite. This first full-color animated cartoon mdash; and first film of any kind to use the new three-color Technicolor process mdash; won Disney his first of 32 Academy Awards. The 1937 cartoon citeThe Old Mill/cite was the first short subject to use the multiplane camera technique, with foreground, mid-ground and background on separate animation cels at different distances from the camera. /pp Disney's pioneering continued. 1937's citeSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs/cite was the first full-length animated musical feature mdash; produced at the outrageous cost of $1.5 million ($22.6 million in today's money). /pp In 1940, citeFantasia/cite combined some live action with animation, a process Disney had been working on since his Kansas City days. He used it extensively in citeThe Three Caballeros/cite, citeSong of the South/cite and citeMary Poppins/cite. /pp Disney introduced time-lapse film photography to a wide public with films like citeThe Living Desert/cite and others in his award-winning True-Life Adventure series. Disney also produced pioneering TV programs in black-and-white and then color. /pp Southern California's Disneyland, opened in 1955, led the shift from generic amusement parks to theme parks. It included a futuristic sci-fi Tomorrowland. Disney conceived EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow near Florida's Disney World, as a showcase for applying technology to improving people's lives. It was under construction when Disney died Dec. 15, 1966, at age 65./p p- - -/p pHeisenberg was born the same day as Disney, in Würzburg, Germany. He began playing the piano early, mastering difficult pieces by age 13. He taught himself calculus and then worked on a farm for three summers to earn tuition to study physics at the University of Munich. /pp He studied with Arthur Sommerfield, Max Born and James Franck and earned a doctorate in 1923, the year Disney went to Hollywood. a href="http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1932/heisenberg-bio.html"Heisenberg/a went to Copenhagen to study under Niels Bohr. /pp Heisenberg described a method for calculating the energy levels of "a href="http://www.notablebiographies.com/He-Ho/Heisenberg-Werner.html"atomic oscillators/a" in a famous paper, "On Quantum Mechanical Interpretation of Kinematic and Mechanical Relations." It brought him immediate fame. /pp A second paper, "On the Visualizable Content of Quantum Theoretical Kinematics and Mechanics," explained his famous Uncertainty Principle: It is impossible to specify both the exact position and exact momentum of a subatomic particle at the same time. /p p- - -/p pFor his contributions to quantum mechanics, Heisenberg received the Nobel Prize for Physics at age 31. It was 1932, the same year Disney won his first Oscar. /pp During World War II, while Disney was making military-training and civilian-propaganda films for the U.S. war effort, Heisenberg was director of Germany's uranium project working on an atomic bomb. He was arrested in April 1945 and remained imprisoned in England until the summer of 1946. /pp After the war, Heisenberg worked on a unified theory of fundamental particles and on plasma physics and thermonuclear processes. He was director of the Max Planck Institute and headed a program to invite visiting scientists to work in Germany. /ppHeisenberg retired in 1970 and died Feb. 1, 1976, nine years after Disney. /pp emSource: Norsknettskole, Nobel Lectures, Notable Biographies/em /pbr style="clear: both;"/ a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:07524b2ebae54497f53876c85dd3da5a:z1cdUxsRm8MU%2BiDwzN1iW%2FyHQfW3dd17cSyYZLqJaSqkAXXhRBZCxkivdLQjRt0pGSXOEWLUzcJsNw%3D%3D'img border='0' title='Add to Facebook' alt='Add to Facebook' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/facebook.gif'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:d17bda05564fc46939021aa7b79004ef:ikQtZqELCUBUkD%2FWJs8Ide8%2For%2B1%2B%2FuYigO2ZkDJvkErjabeAQgE1zP%2FtsdWUbD%2B4bqW6TZOjKAu'img border='0' title='Add to Reddit' alt='Add to Reddit' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/reddit.png'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:0105399b0a6090a0212d062c984e7ec9:tCFqIVZRJjcSMej7VmtADQ0ZI6fhI4x17ljMaUjK6O6M1yAYQLPTYtMJ86bWOZGgrd%2FFdRPCYdy%2B'img border='0' title='Add to digg' alt='Add to digg' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/digg.gif'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:373edbcc71739c87ebf41d103df3226c:tP1m6nY6Z%2B%2FoWbEzTXsKTuvt%2F%2BkThxVCQ11NhGuZFnG6DzZXQdz8%2B5LDtkSA3bmQVf6GP3UxPOI2'img border='0' title='Add to Google' alt='Add to Google' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/google.png'//a br style="clear: both;"/ a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=eea228f65efba9a695c7d8df29c32aa7p=1"img alt="" style="border: 0;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?s=eea228f65efba9a695c7d8df29c32aa7p=1"//a img src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=eea228f65efba9a695c7d8df29c32aa7" style="display: none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/ pa href="http://feeds.wired.com/~a/wired/index?a=qQLx47"img src="http://feeds.wired.com/~a/wired/index?i=qQLx47" border="0"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.wired.com/~r/wired/index/~4/475367650" height="1" width="1"/

Samsung will be parading its own 40" OLED TV at CES next year, although this model is not yet ready to make it to the mass consumer market, mainly because it will cost 10 times the price of current equivalent LCD TVs. In the words of a Samsung executive, ldquo;OLED has a long way to go, technology-wise and cost-wise. Itrsquo;s coming, but we just donrsquo;t know when it will be a viable consumer product.rdquo; The sooner the better we say, but guess you don't have to put off buying that new LCD TV that you've been hankering after all year long./P pPermalink: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/12/samsung_to_parade_40inch_oled_tv.html"Samsung To Parade 40-inch OLED TV/a from Ubergizmo (a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com"US/a, a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/fr"FR/a) | a href="http://www.uberbargain.com/"Good deals/a | Hot: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/11/blackberry_storm_review.html"Storm Review/a/p pmap name="google_ad_map_081203185346" area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/081203185346?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28"/ area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23"//map img usemap="#google_ad_map_081203185346" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_imgamp;client=ca-pub-7335032025195922amp;channel=9684588219amp;output=pngamp;cuid=081203185346amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F15%2Farchives%2F2008%2F12%2Fsamsung_to_parade_40inch_oled_tv.html"//p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/35vXjFzvx242xRnYIlErJnjUKwA/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/35vXjFzvx242xRnYIlErJnjUKwA/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=UsIN8PvD"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=jCP6X7dO"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=jCP6X7dO" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=EtlkL6pM"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=52" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=4VM93BWi"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=4VM93BWi" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=hxKSkGW0"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=hxKSkGW0" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ubergizmo/~4/Uv6XNvaPzq0" height="1" width="1"/

iJournal of clinical oncology : official journal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (27 October 2008)/ibr /br /Recommendations for specimen collection and handling have been developed for adoption across breast cancer clinical trials conducted by the Breast International Group (BIG)-sponsored Groups and the National Cancer Institute (NCI)-sponsored North American Cooperative Groups. These recommendations are meant to promote identifiable standards for specimen collection and handling within and across breast cancer trials, such that the variability in collection/handling practices that currently exists is minimized and specimen condition and quality are enhanced, thereby maximizing results from specimen-based diagnostic testing and research. Three working groups were formed from the Cooperative Group Banking Committee, BIG groups, and North American breast cancer cooperative groups to identify standards for collection and handling of (1) formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue; (2) blood and its components; and (3) fresh/frozen tissue from breast cancer trials. The working groups collected standard operating procedures from multiple group specimen banks, administered a survey on banking practices to those banks, and engaged in a series of discussions from 2005 to 2007. Their contributions were synthesized into this document, which focuses primarily on collection and handling of specimens to the point of shipment to the central bank, although also offers some guidance to central banks. Major recommendations include submission of an FFPE block, whole blood, and serial serum or plasma from breast cancer clinical trials, and use of one fixative and buffer type (10% neutral phosphate-buffered formalin, pH 7) for FFPE tissue across trials. Recommendations for proper handling and shipping were developed for blood, serum, plasma, FFPE, and fresh/frozen tissue.br /iBrian R Leyland-Jones, Christine B Ambrosone, John Bartlett, Matthew J C Ellis, Rebecca A Enos, Adekunle Raji, Michael R Pins, Jo Anne Zujewski, Stephen M Hewitt, John F Forbes, Mark Abramovitz, Sofia Braga, Fatima Cardoso, Nadia Harbeck, Carsten Denkert, Scott D Jewell/i

Just in case you thought 3D was only for Thursday night NFL games and NBA playoff matchups, Fox Sports is broadcasting the first college football game in the format January 8. CEO David Hill dropped the info during the 3D Entertainment Summit, acknowledging plans to bring the 3D feed to CES (finally, we won't have to miss the big game this year -- like we'd ever watch an SD feed stretched on cheap hotel plasmas) and select movie theaters, but balked at pushing technology forward. Citing costs absorbed by broadcasters in switching to high definition, he's looking towards consumer electronics manufacturers to turn over HDTV profits and start another round of upgrades for early adopters. While they argue over who picks up the check we don't expect more than a few demos here or there, but with Panasonic, LG and others already taking the baton it's just a matter of time, maybe when ESPN takes over things full time in 2011?
