It sees the number of homessold falling 3

Most of this was going unnoticed as the WWE was pushing Shawn Michaels as their next great thing. Instead of pulling the focus to both athletes hyping the contest equally, they chose to focus on Shawns boyhood dream and largely ignored Bret, who was having some of his best matches at the time. Wrestlemania 12The Iron Man MatchShawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart While the last half of the match told a good story and the pace was pretty good, the first thirty minutes were very drawn out and I had a hard time paying attention. The match wouldve been much better if they wouldve had just a normal match and allowed them to pace naturally, instead of building for an hour. Look at the first few minutes of their Wrestlemania match compared to their Survivor Series match and youll see what Im talking about. So whats your take Whats your favorite Bret Hart match Which storylines missed their mark. TORONTO, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Canadian home prices will slipand sales will slow in the first half of this year but mayrebound in the second half, Royal LePage Real Estate Servicessaid in its 2009 forecast on Tuesday. Bonds Royal LePage, Canada's biggest residential real estateagent, forecasts average house prices will ease 3 percent fromlast year to C$295,000 ($250,000). It sees the number of homessold falling 3.5 percent to 416,000. The company expects weakness in the housing market,stemming from dismal headlines about the worsening globaleconomy, combined with a cooling from previous years' "fervid"activity, to continue through the first half of the year beforethe market rebounds.

We are well into this inevitable cyclicalcorrection," said Phil Soper, Royal LePage president and chiefexecutive. "While a grey cloud hangs over some markets, the sky is notfalling," he added. Prices in pockets of the country, such as Regina,Saskatchewan, and Winnipeg, Manitoba, are still below thenational average and will likely rise moderately, the companysaid. It forecasts average Regina home prices to rise 6 percentto C$243,300 this year, while it sees Winnipeg prices climbing4 percent to C$204,900. Vancouver, the country's most expensive city, whichexperienced "aggressive" price runups in the last severalyears, will see the most significant decline in home prices, 9percent to C$540,100, Royal LePage said. Its forecast is in line with other studies released in thepast month that see a dip in national housing prices and staticstate sales activity for at least the first half of the year.

A rebound in consumer confidence, historically low interestrates, and improving credit markets will help the housingmarket bounce back, Royal LePage said. Most market observers say the Canadian market will avoid aU.S.-style housing crisis, partly because subprime mortgagesmake up a much smaller percentage of home loans in Canada.

Prosolia and Indigo BioSystems Come Together to Create FireFly(TM) DataConversion Software for Mass SpectrometersINDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 6 /PRNewswire/ Thermo Scientific LTQ massspectrometer and Omni Spray (R) Ion Source users now have the capability toconvert their large data sets into file formats compatible with third partysoftware using FireFly(TM) data conversion software.FireFly is a software program that extracts and builds data sets fromproprietary data systems using Indigo BioSystems proprietary data conversionalgorithms into file formats compatible with BioMAP, a third party imagevisualization and processing software program available for free on theinternet."Indigo BioSystems is pleased to partner with Prosolia to integrate ourdata management and open format technology with their breakthrough imagingsystems.Prosolia's tools allow scientists to generate unprecedented amountsof exceptionally valuable data," says Randy Julian, President and co-founderof Indigo BioSystems.

"Indigo's tools allow that data to be captured, used andshared.Together we ensure that imaging mass spectrometry data will have asignificant impact on key decisions in biological R&D."FireFly was created in order to visualize the multi-dimensional data sets,Prosolia's Omni Spray Ion Source can routinely generate in combination withthe Thermo Scientific LTQ series mass spectrometers equipped with theXcalibur(TM) 2.0 data system."As Prosolia continues to build upon the Omni Spray Ion Source product andproduce advanced platforms, such as the Omni Spray 2-D, the utilization ofdata management and conversion programs will be essential to integratingProsolia's technologies to the variety of instrumentation that is available toend-users today," says Justin Wiseman, Prosolia's Director of Research andDevelopment."The release of FireFly(TM) with Indigo BioSystems representsour commitment to developing reliable and universal research tools for massspectrometry that complement our Omni Spray products.""The key to Indigo's approach is to make lab data accessible by combiningopen data formats with globally accessible data repositories. Imaging massspectrometry represents a special challenge due to the volume and complexityof a typical data," says Julian. "Using open formats ensure that imageanalysis and processing will be possible regardless of the brand of detectorused with the Prosolia source.Having high performance data interchangetechnology means that labs will not be choked by the volume of data generatedin these experiments, and that results can be shared freely with collaboratorsand contractors regardless of locale."For more information on FireFly or Omni Spray Ion Sources contact Prosoliaat 317.278.6171.Prosolia, Inc.
