The Dealership Involvement
Dodge Different
There's no question that fielding a competitive Winston Cup team is a major undertaking. Nothing can be left to chance and constant refinement is the name of the game. To be successful requires firm dedication, a little luck....and cash. Lots of it.
There were a number of reasons Chrysler Corporation originally pulled away from Winston Cup racing. First and foremost, the sanctioning body at times seemed less than benign when making decisions regarding dominant vehicles (which Chrysler often had), and the company felt they were sometimes singled out unfairly. Also, the economic factors of the time didn't make auto racing in any form a priority any longer, and the major financial commitments that had been made during the musclecar era were no longer reasonable. Plus, since the focus was moving toward front-wheel-drive vehicles with good economy almost exclusively, the then-present regimes had no reason to be involved, turning their performance attention to projects like Carroll Shelby's hop-ups to the 2.2 package. Finally, NASCAR was just beginning to grow in popularity, and nobody could foresee where it would end up.
Almost twenty years later, during the latter half of the 1990s, Dodge's slogan changed from "The New Dodge" to "Dodge: Different," and indeed it was. According to Ted Gray, senior manager of Dodge Dealer Advertising Associations, both the products and the philosophy were different.
"With the "Dodge: Different" program, we wanted to call attention to what makes this brand stand apart from the crowd. We felt it summed up who we were. Dodge has a different way of doing business, different ways to bring products to the marketplace. Viper was a prime example of this. Also by this point, our platform team approach was seen as the way to go. So, what we did as we started to discuss the possibility of going to the next level, to Winston Cup racing, was how can we do this differently than it has ever been done."
Those discussions began within the company during the fall of 1998. Dodge sales were up, and the success generated by the Viper and the then-new NASCAR SuperTruck program proved that auto racing remained a solid arena which, through product identification and marketing, could help sales. In Gray's words, the Dodge brand was on the edge of greatness, and this would be the next logical step in the progression.
Dodge decided early on that the successful platform-team concept would be applied to any Winston Cup effort. Like any other time Chrysler (now DaimlerChrysler) had been involved in motorsports, the idea was not to place or show, but to win. That would take some talent--and money. After presenting the idea to upper management, Dodge was given the go-ahead to make inquiries, but the costs needed to be budgeted through the division.
"The dealers, not all but some, always talked about how we needed to get back into Winston Cup," recalls Gray. "There was a lot of enthusiasm. What we weren't sure of was how much support there really was out there. It was decided that we would begin by reintroducing the executive board of the Dodge Dealer Advertising Associations to Winston Cup racing."
Dodge has 2,933 dealers, all of which belong to one of the 38 dealer advertising associations. The advertising associations, which are based on zones or regions, are non-profit organizations, and each one has a president and a board of directors. The executive board was a 10-member group of these presidents at the time (there are now 11 members), and they held sway over most of the major decision-making for the associations. Gray and his crew knew that these people would be the key to the Dodge brand returning to NASCAR's high banks. In keeping with the "Different" theme, they proposed to link the company, the advertising associations, and the dealerships together, a first in motorsports development, and made plans to get the 10 leaders to the track. "In the spring of 1999, we took the board to the spring race in Atlanta," says Gray. "We did this very quietly, renting a suite under an unrecognizable name.
The ten of them came up there and saw that this was a very big deal. Some had not been familiar with actual Winston Cup competition, so it was a real eye-opener for them. Perhaps more importantly, we walked through the parking lots. It wasn't all pickup trucks; there were literally thousands of potential car customers here as well."
Once back at the host hotel, Dodge made its presentation to the board, with a senior NASCAR official on hand as well. After hearing from the dealership liasons and motorsports representatives from Auburn Hills, a lively question-and-answer session began, with a surprising opening focus. The main area of concern was how NASCAR would treat a new Dodge program; old wounds can be hard to heal. But NASCAR, like the rest of the world, had changed, and the board was assured that NASCAR only wanted a level playing field; favoritism was no longer a driving factor in rules making.
At the end of the evening, the board took a formal vote and unanimously decided the program was feasible and should be presented to the other advertising association presidents. A couple months later, on June 6, 1999, all 38 of them were at Michigan International Speedway to see another race. This time, no suites were available.
"It was late, and the regular suites were all sold out by the time we decided to meet there," recalls Gray with a grin. "So we got a pair of PPG portable suites and put them right at the end of pit row on turn one. They were the best seats in the house. Afterward, since we were going to hold our presentation right at the track, Roger Penske let us set it up in his IndyCar restoration shop. With all the cars and tools in there, it was a perfect place for this meeting. We presented our audio-visual materials on a set of double doors on one of the paint booths."
So, the summer of 1999 found Dodge representatives making presentations to each association's board of directors. As in any serious negotiation, there was uncertainty and, in rare cases, even some opposition to getting involved again. But in the end, each board had enough yes votes to push the program through. A final meeting was held at Bay Harbor, Michigan, in September of 1999, with all 38 associations voting to support Dodge's return to Winston Cup. This equal partnership between the dealerships and Dodge corporate is indeed "different," an approach that had never been tried before. The standard-bearing car would carry the "Your Friendly Dodge Dealers" and "Dodge: Different" logos without any other corporate sponsorship.
The funding works like this: Each dealership puts a certain amount of money from every car sold into a funding pool used by the associations for advertising and promotional programs. These might be special equipment or bonuses for purchasers. Support for Winston Cup is generated from these funds, so a dealer who sells even one car a year can honestly say he has invested in the NASCAR program. Moreover, the new car buyer supported it directly as well.
Now came the question of talent. Since the idea was to be a credible force in the sport from the onset, the simple approach was to get a list of the top ten teams in Winston Cup to use as the starting point for developing a team. It was at this juncture that Ray Evernham's name came up. Evernham was still riding the crest of three world titles with Jeff Gordon; the primary question was whether he and other teams were locked into multi-year contracts. As it turned out, that was not a problem with Evernham, who relished the idea of starting a new project from scratch. The rest, as they say, is history.
Shortly thereafter, the formal announcement came that Dodge would indeed return to NASCAR Winston Cup in 500 days, for the season-opening 2001 Daytona 500. By the middle of 2000, NASCAR approved the swoopy Intrepid body and the final piece was in place by early November when an all-new Dodge V8 engine was approved.
Meanwhile, the dealership network is already seeing results. A corporate information website (www.4adodge.com) is receiving positive response from the public, and Evernham Racing even had a souvenir stand at every Winston Cup event after mid-season 2000 even though the cars were not in competition yet. Smith Stokes, whose Superbird is featured elsewhere in this issue, is right in the heart of NASCAR's action, Reidsville, North Carolina. His dealership, Smith Stokes Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep has won sales and service awards every single year it has been open.
"As dealers, especially here in the southeast, this is something we've wanted for a long time. In fact, we're already seeing some incremental business from Dodge's involvement. But from my perspective, the big thing is that it brings unity to the dealership network nationwide. We're all pulling for Dodge and we're all coming together in that respect. That is a big plus for everybody."

Two Texas Teens Have Quit The Girl Scouts Over Its Ties To Planned Parenthood
Two teens, Tess and Sydney Volanski, quit the Girl Scouts after eight years and started a new website to protest the Girl Scouts' ties to Planned Parenthood and their feminist and pro-abortion agenda.
On their website, speaknowgirlscouts.com, the teens state, "We parted ways with the organization when we discovered that they have a pro-abortion mindset. We refuse to remain silent while this organization's unscrupulous principles mislead over 2 million girls in the United States alone. We created SpeakNowGirlScouts.com in order to spread the truth to others who have no idea what GSUSA's true intentions are. This website is our way to speak now and we hope it encourages you to do the same!"
The website documents interviews, email, literature and other evidence that proves that the Girl Scouts has partnered with Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion groups to lead young girls and teens towards immorality. Specially telling is who the Girl Scouts hold as heroines for the girls to emulate.
These two sisters are not the first to cry foul play. Last year Lifenews.com reported that "the Gils Scouts allowed the distribution of an explicit and dangerous sex guide – produced by the international Planned Parenthood Federation – in a Girl Scouts panel for adolescent girls at the UN." Although the Girls Scouts denies the story, read for yourself and you be the judge.
I stopped buying Girl Scouts cookies a while back because I had heard of the connection with Planned Parenthood. Abortion is such an intrinsic evil that I don't mess around with it
We need to protect our children and parents need to do their homework when their children are concerned. Planned Parenthood wants to get our youth sexually active, thus the sex guide at the UN. They know that the more girls are sexually active, the better the chances that they will become pregnant with an unwanted pregnancy and the better the chances of their wanting to abort the baby.
We need to stop Planned Parenthood. We need to close their abortion mills. We need to educate the public on the true agenda behind their business model. And if our government is unwilling to defund them, we need to elect pro-life representatives and a pro-life president who will defund them.

Emergency ultrasound is an integral part of the clinical, educational and research mission of the Department of Emergency Medicine. Since 1997, emergency ultrasound has been used for resuscitation, trauma evaluation, AAA recognition and detection of first trimester pregnancy complications, abdominal, near field, and procedural applications. Multiple research studies have been performed on the topic of emergency ultrasound in our department. The Department of Emergency Medicine firmly believes that ultrasound is one of the bedside tools the emergency physician should master to properly evaluate patients during emergency care. Within the Department of Emergency Medicine, the Division of Emergency Ultrasound has been created with the addition of additional faculty and the maturation of the emergency ultrasound fellowship.
Clinical Care
The department has four ultrasound machines that are in continual use. All have extensive Doppler and digital capability. The annual volume of emergency ultrasounds performed has grown each year to an annual ultrasound procedure census of 6000 per year. The attending physicians are credentialed and a quality assurance program audits every ultrasound that is performed. Ultrasound is used extensively for resuscitation (both non-traumatic and traumatic), pregnancy, abdominal evaluation, cardiovascular evaluation, soft-tissue, musculoskeletal, ocular, and for procedural guidance.
Director of Emergency Ultrasound
The director of emergency ultrasound is Vivek Tayal, MD, an emergency physician with extensive clinical and academic experience with ultrasound. Dr. Tayal served as the chair of the ACEP section on emergency ultrasound from 2000 - 2001 and 2008 - 2009. He is also active nationally with the SAEM ultrasound interest group and AIUM. He is the ACEP liaison to the AIUM .
The director of the ultrasound fellowship is Anthony Weekes, MD, an emergency medicine physician whose certifications in ultrasonography include echocardiography. His special interests are the critical care applications of emergency ultrasonography.
Margaret Lewis, MD is the Director of Ultrasound in Undergraduate Medical Education at Carolinas Medical Center/ Charlotte Campus of UNC School of Medicine. She completed her ultrasound fellowship at Carolinas Medical Center in 2012 and stayed on as faculty. She has since developed a longitudinal ultrasound curriculum for the third year medical students at CMC as well as a fourth year medical school rotation in point of care ultrasound. She has presented abstracts regarding her work in development of ultrasound curricula at national meetings. Dr. Lewis has lectured on emergency ultrasound applications nationally and has worked with Dr. Weekes and Dr. Tayal to develop Code Ultrasound, a multidisciplinary critical care ultrasound course. Her interests include ultrasound education, undergraduate medical education, critical care ultrasound and pediatric ultrasound applications.
A one-year emergency ultrasound fellowship was started five years ago. The fellowship follows the ACEP Emergency US Guidelines, and participating in the eus.fellowship.com website and application process. The ultrasound fellow is expected to be: involved in clinical ultrasound research; get extensive experience with ultrasound program development and maintenance, especially quality assurance; and develop strong teaching skills and an extensive knowledge base through group didactic sessions, bedside teaching of learners and supervised scan sessions with 'ultrasound' faculty.
Drs. Tayal and Weekes have lectured extensively on emergency ultrasound both regionally, nationally and internationally.
Residency Training
Residency training in emergency ultrasound is incorporated into the daily didactics lecture series and clinical rotation of the emergency department. Emergency medicine residents use ultrasound during their clinical evaluation of patients in the ED. In addition, there are specific PGY-1 rotations involving emergency ultrasound as well as a PGY-3 elective.
Research and Publication
Research has also been a focus of our ultrasound program, specifically into resuscitation, both non-traumatic and trauma and first trimester pregnancy. Some examples include:

NO. 4 BOSTON BRUINS (28-14-6) vs. NO. 5 TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS (26-17-5)
Season series: Bruins won 3-1
Game 1: Wednesday night, TD Garden, 7 p.m. (CBC, RDS)
Bruins - The Bruins won three of their four regular-season games against the Leafs, but two were by one goal and one in a shootout. The Leafs' one win over Boston was by one goal. This marks the first time these teams have met in the playoffs since 1974, but it should turn into a very physical series, which is a strength for both clubs. The Bruins have giant Zdeno Chara on the blue line, who was plus-14 while averaging 24:56 of ice time. Dennis Seidenberg, who was plus-18, is underrated and Dougie Hamilton (plus-4) has proven to be one of the few 19-year-olds who doesn't look out of place on an NHL blue line. Tim Thomas led the Bruins to the Stanley Cup two years ago, but he's no longer in Boston. However, Tuukka Rask has helped Bruins fans forget about Thomas with his performance this season, posting a 19-10-5 record with a 2.00 GAA and .929 save percentage.
Leafs - Captain Dion Phaneuf, who averaged 25:10 of ice time, will play a key role for the Leafs and will be counted on for offence from the back end as well as physical play and will be matched up against the Bruins' top line. Nazem Kadri has finally showed why the Leafs selected him in the first round (seventh overall) of the 2009 draft, posting 18-26-44 totals and a plus-15. The Bruins have a lot of depth at the forward position with seven players topping double-digits in goals, led by Brad Marchand with 18. Former Bruin Phil Kessel led the Leafs in scoring with 20-32-52 totals, but was minus-3.
Leafs - This is the first appearance in the postseason for the Leafs since 2004, when they lost to the Philadelphia Flyers in the second round. The Leafs are the only team that hadn't qualified for the playoffs since the 2004-05 lockout. The Leafs can be shaky on the blue line at times, which is why they acquired Ryan O'Byrne at the trade deadline for added size and depth. Toronto gave up an average of 2.67 goals per game this season, ranking 17th in the NHL. Leafs GM Dave Nonis showed he's not 100-per-cent confident in goalie James Reimer when he looked into acquiring Roberto Luongo from the Vancouver Canucks at the trade deadline. Reimer was pulled in his final regular-season game – a 4-1 loss to the Canadiens – which isn't a good way to head into the playoffs. Toronto had only one shot on goal during the second period of that game. The Leafs also lost four of their final six games while being outscored 20-15. Reimer hasn't played in a postseason game since 2009 in the East Coast Hockey League.
Bruins - The Bruins had a chance to clinch the Northeast Division title and the No. 2 seed in their final regular-season game at home Sunday night, but lost 4-2 to the Ottawa Senators. Boston was 2-5-2 in its last nine regular-season games and Milan Lucic – once considered the biggest, baddest Bruin – scored only seven goals and was a healthy scratch for a game at the end of the season. Jaromir Jagr, acquired at the trade deadline from Dallas, missed the last two regular-season games while battling the flu. The Bruins have struggled mightily on the power play and have been average on the penalty kill.
For the Bruins to win: They will have to win the battles in the alleys and on the ice and hope that Lucic can become the big, bad Bruin again.
For the Leafs to win: Reimer will have to show he can handle the playoff heat in Toronto and make Nonis look good for not getting Luongo.

RIO DE JANEIRO: State and regional government members of The Climate Group have announced that they have passed the half-way point to their target of planting 1 billion trees by 2015.
The combined pledges of The Climate Group's States and Regions Alliance Members have exceeded 500 million – as announced at a meeting in Rio de Janeiro in the lead-up to the Rio+20 United Nations Sustainable Development Summit.
The Climate Group's CEO, Mark Kenber, said he was delighted that States and Regions members have reached this important milestone: "These commitments demonstrate genuine progress against The Climate Group's 1 Billion Trees initiative, which was announced in Copenhagen in December 2009."
At the Climate Leaders Summit held on December 15, 2009, as part of the UNFCCC COP15 meeting in Copenhagen, more than 60 leaders, ministers, state secretaries and other sub-national leaders signed the Copenhagen Statement of Federated States and Regional Governments.
Within this Statement the leaders expressed their commitment to planting at least 1 billion trees worldwide by 2015 and to report on progress towards this goal.
Quebec and Scotland led the charge, with a commitment to plant 100 million trees each by 2015 – each of which is on track. Many other sub-national governments have also pledged to plant a total of tens of millions of trees, including Aragon, Catalonia, Manitoba, Ontario, North Rhine Westphalia, Poitou Charentes, South Australia and Wales.
Under the 1 Billion Tree initiative, only plantings that would not have otherwise occurred are counted.
As part of World States and Regions Summit in Rio de Janeiro, members of The Climate Group's States and Regions Alliance reported on progress against targets, announced new planting initiatives or increased their original pledges.
New members making commitments included the State of Sao Paulo, La Reunion and KwaZulu Natal.
The State of Sao Paulo announced that it will add 200 million trees by 2015, through native forests restoration in its own territory - ensuring both climate protection and biodiversity. Mark Kenber commented on this statement: "The Climate Group commends this extraordinary commitment by the State of Sao Paulo, one of our newest members."
State Environment Secretary, Bruno Covas, said "Sao Paulo is honoured to join The Climate Group's States and Regions Allliance and is proud to have helped The Climate Group pass the half-way mark in the 1 Billion Trees initiative. This comprises one-fifth of the total 1 billion target and we will build on this commitment with 200 million more trees by 2020."
The 1 Billion Trees initiative was an idea proposed by then South Australian Premier, Mike Rann.
Mr Rann, who is now a member of the International Leadership Council of The Climate Group, said he hoped the momentum generated by the 1 Billion Trees campaign will encourage national governments to make an even bigger commitment. "50-80% of the decisions that affect our environment are made at the state and regional level. Sub-national governments have often been the leaders in tackling climate change. That leadership has again been demonstrated with this giant commitment to greening our planet – thanks to The Climate Group's encouragement and guidance."

Hi Cindy,
Thanks for your interest. Are you at beginner level as well? Weekends work great for me, especially on Sundays. I live in the Arboretum area. What about you? Would you like to correspond via personal email instead so we can set something up? That seems easier. My email address is: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi Florence,
Thanks for your interest. What part of town do you live in?
That's not too far from where I live. I think I'm going to wait til spring to start playing tennis again. It's starting to get kinda cold. Thanks for your reply!
Hi! I live in the Arboretum area and am a beginner too! I would love to play after 4:30 and before 9pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends! Feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

As part of the festivities for SuperClásico week, front office staff and fans of the LA Galaxy and Chivas USA took part in the BarraClásico on Thursday evening at The Home Depot Center.
In the night's first match, the Galaxy staff fell 4-3 to their Chivas counterparts. With the victory, the Chivas' staff swept the season series, 3-0. Meanwhile in the second match of the night, the LA Riot Squad defeat Chivas' Black Army 1850, 2-1. The victory gave LARS a three-game sweep of the Chivas supporters group.
In the night cap, the Galaxy supporters group the Angel City Brigade played to a scoreless draw with Chivas' Union Ultras. The season series ended 1-1-1, but the Ultras were awarded the "Supporters' Cup" on aggregate. This result could have some barring on Sunday's result as the Galaxy are undefeated in the SuperClásico when the Union Ultras win the BarraClásico.

Lisa Niemi spoke out on Friday in her first television interview since the death of her husband, Patrick Swayze, in an appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
"Every moment of every breath of every day in the last 22 months before he died, every single one of those was special," Lisa, who was married to the actor for 38 years before his passing from pancreatic cancer in September, told Oprah.

"Were his final days peaceful?" Oprah asked.
"Luckily, he was very comfortable," Lisa answered. "Not in pain."

In his final hours, Lisa stayed by Patrick's bedside, keeping control of his pain medication in her hand.
"There's a strange, difficult transition from trying to treat and get better to try to make comfortable — very, very hard to do," Lisa explained.
Of the brave star's last day, Lisa said she could feel it coming.

"His heart is so strong, metaphorically, and literally — but it was only so long that his heart was going to keep going," she told Oprah. "I was afraid to leave his side, and luckily I was so happy I was there."
While Patrick's long battle was full of tough moments, Lisa also recalled their 2008 wedding vow renewal, which she described as a "fairy tale."
"He rode in on a stallion?" Oprah asked.
"A white horse. After 34 years, finally he rides in on a white horse and I was happy," she said. "It was incredibly magical."

A challenge in production is to NOT get stuck searching for the "perfect" music bed. It's tempting when you love music like I do. How easy it would be to spend hours playing track after track of brilliant creations alternating with fast forwarding thru trash cuts. After years of doing production--you soon realize that is a time-eater. I'm working on an underwritng spot for the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust here in Studio G at the Mohn Broadcast Center. LAMH is celebrating the dedication of its new home, in Pan Pacific Park, across from The Grove and Farmer's Markets. The music must reflect a sensitivity to the memory of the holocaust while celebrating the dedication of a new home. Searching for the perfect music was approaching, but not quite, at quest level yet. I knew in my "sound mind" I wanted to hear a cello on this music bed.
This is a pretty amazing video of Ethan Winer playing 37 separate cello parts to create one song. He even plays the percussion parts on his cello. It was recorded on 23 tracks using 37 plug-in effects. He spent hundreds of hours on this project so its worth a viewing.

In this new post to his blog Till Klampaeckel talks about two tools for front-end interface testing - Selenium and Saucelenium - and how he used the latter in his application testing.
Selenium and Saucelenium have the same root - in fact Saucelenium is a Selenium fork. While the Selenium project seems to focus on 2.x currently, stable 1.x development seems to really happen at Saucelabs. That is if you call a commit from January 22nd of this year active development.
He talks about the installation process (guided by the README from his fork) and the tool he had to install to get it to work for him - xserver-xorg. He includes a sample test to give you an idea of what can be done with the testing tool. It loads the page imitating Chrome and looks for certain text on two different pages as well as check one of the links.

Symmetrics Cycling at Tour of the Gila: Day 1 3 Update
Courtesy Mark Cunningham
Mens Elite Team Race Report from Tour of the Gila, Stage Race, Silver City, NM (April 28 May 2, 2004)
Stage 1: Symmetrics Cycling isnt in Kansas Anymore
Cam Evans finishes 6th in opening windy Time Trial at Tour of the Gila
The 18th edition of the Tour of the Gila in Silver City, New Mexico started with a 26 km hilly and very windy time trial that was like the opening scene from the Wizard of Oz. In a day when it paid to start early Symmetrics rider Cam Evans put in a solid ride to finish 1:35 down and in 6th position, ased Aidas Bail Bonds team. Many top riders that started later due to start times based on alphabetical order found themselves battling 70+ kph winds and dust. One of the last of the early starters Scott Moninger of Healthnet/Maxis finished second on unheralded stage winner Ryan Blickem of the Albuquerque b d just over a minute back of Blickem. Many other top riders found themselves three to eight minutes down. Riders were reluctant to use aerobars on the return portion of the trip as they were getting thrown around pretty badly. Symmetrics rider Marsh Cooper also put in a solid ride in 20th 2:40 back of the winner.
Stage 2: The Tornado Continues in Silver City
Cooper Climbs with the best
The day dawned with little to no wind as Tour of the Gila riders faced a 152 km first road stage. The profile for the days course was relatively flat for the first 142 kilometers with the mountain top finish near Mogollon at 6800 feet. The first break of the day went clear about 20 km into the stage with 2 riders gaining a maximum of 5 minutes at the 60 km mark. Chuck Coyle started the day 2:41 down on the leader so Coyle was in fact the leader on the road for many kilometers. The Aidas Bail Bond team of race leader Ryan Blickem rode tempo on the front for the better part of 100 km with some help from Healtnet/Maxis and the break was finally absorbed about 15 km before the final 10 km climb. As the race progressed the wind began to rise in strength. For the most part the peloton saw a cross tail wind and Symmetrics riders made sure they were near the front keeping team leader Cam Evans protected until the final climb. Just before the climb the pace was increased dramatically and as the riders made the right turn to start the climb the cross winds splintered the group into smithereens.
Symmetrics riders Cam Evans, Will Routley, and Marsh Cooper made the front group after the windy false flat halfway section of the climb. All the major players were present including the race leader resplendent in his pink leaders jersey. Cooper continued to stay with the leaders as Routley and then Evans slowly fell off the pace. Cooper continued to shadow World Mountain Bike Champion Roland Green as the front group was whittled down. Scott Moninger then attacked and crossed the line with a 20 second gap on the next rider. Riders then crossed the finish line in ones and twos. Marsh Cooper had an outstanding day finishing in 19th only 2:29 behind stage winner Moninger. Routley and Evans were the next Symmetrics riders to cross the line in 33rd and 35th respectively.
Symmetrics riders now sit in 12th (Cooper) and 15th (Evans) in the overall general classification and as a team Symmetrics is in 3rd place out of seventeen teams.
Stage 3 Wind dies down at Gila but hills get tougher
Symmetrics rider Pinfold take 4th place in 3rd stage at Tour of the Gila
It was a day of highs and lows for the Symmetrics Team. After returning from the previous stage Cam Evans became quite sick due to dehydration and it was off to the hospital for 3 litres of IV liquid with electrolytes. Cam got lots of rest and would start the next day but the altitude and dehydration was too much for him and he was forced to abandon very early in the stage. The same fate was also met by Symmetrics riders Scott Goguen, due to a crash, and later by Dylan Sebel as the altitude, hills and early attacks took their toll.
Will Routley was involved in an early break that lasted the better part of 35 km while a solo rider, Andrew Bajadali of Team Ofoto was the solo leader. Bajadali, sitting in 7th overall, was not going to be allowed to escape so Healthnet/Maxis and Trek/Landis team riders set tempo at the front reeling the leader in with 50 km remaining in the 130 km event. The final 30 km featured a main climb in two steps and the remaining three Symmetrics riders set up the final finish anticipating a group sprint. As the kilometers wound down small breaks would get away only to be reeled back. In the final 2 km race leader Moninger shot up the road with Monex rider Davide Frattini. Will Routley and then Marsh Cooper went to the front with Andrew Pinfold in tow bringing the riders together for the final sprint where Pinfold was able to take fourth in the group finish. Due to small time gaps at the finish Symmetrics dropped to 4th in the team standings starting tomorrows 60 km Criterium. However, with the difficulty of the course today and the days of racing adding up Marsh Cooper has now moved into 10th place in the overall with only two days of racing left including Sundays Gila Monster Road Race.

OTWUK13 (Battle For Britain) November 14, 2013Posted by Richard Foote in OTWUK13, Richard's Musings.
I've been fortunate to attend and present at many Oracle conferences over the years but the one I would love to get to one year is the UKOUG conference. It always seems to have a great line-up of speakers and I've heard lots of positive feedback. Unfortunately, it's a long long way from home, but it might be a good way to get to also see my beloved Crystal Palace football team live in action 🙂
For those attending this year, there's a extra treat in that running in parallel literally across the road will be the OakTable World UK 2013 conference. It has a fantastic line-up of speakers including:
James Morle
Jonathan Lewis
Alex Gorbachev
Iloon Ellen-Wolff
Niall Litchfield
Doug Burns
Joel Goodman
Marcin Przepiorowski
Christian Antognini (now the latest Oracle ACE Director)
Pete Finnigan
David Kurtz
Moans Nogood
The event is free to all those attending the UKOUG conference but you need to register here first.
Maybe next year I'll finally have a crack at getting to the UK and attending …

On-Campus Interviews
We host employers for individual on-campus interview days throughout the year. Interviews are conducted in the Career Center, the Career Management Center in JSOM, and in some circumstances, the IPP offices in ECS. Interviews are available only to UT Dallas students and alumni with active Handshake accounts.
Participating employers conduct on-campus interviews for permanent or internship positions. Interviews for internships are available only to currently enrolled students who have met all of the requirements of the Internship Program.
NOTE: If you are on an F-1 Visa, and interested in Optional Practical Training (OPT), you should attend an OPT workshop conducted by the International Student Services Office.
- Visit Handshake to login.
- Read and review job descriptions and requirements listed in the "Jobs With Interview Schedules" section of Handshake to identify employment opportunities that match your qualifications.
- Request interviews ONLY if you are seriously interested in the employer indicated on the schedule.
- Visit Handshake regularly to guard against missed opportunities.
- After you have received notification that you have been selected, access Handshake to select your interview time.
- Always write a thank-you letter to the employer after every interview.
Types of Schedules
You will have the opportunity to submit your resume electronically until the pre-select deadline expires. After the pre-select deadline expires, employers will review resumes. You will be notified prior to the interview date whether or not you have been invited to interview. You will then be given access to the interview schedule so that you may select an interview time.
If you meet the qualifications designated on an open schedule, you may sign up on the interview schedule on a first-come, first-served basis. The sign-up deadline is set 5-7 days prior to the campus visit to allow time for the employer to receive and review the resumes prior to the interview.
Information Sessions
Employers host information sessions from time to time as a way to distribute information about their organizations and the opportunities they have to offer. We strongly encourage you to attend as many of these sessions as possible; however, please note that these are NOT interview opportunities. Please DO NOT submit your RSVP (your reservation to attend) unless you intend to be there.
Business casual or professional attire is recommended when attending these sessions.
Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity
UT Dallas is an equal opportunity/affirmative action university. To the extent provided by applicable law, no person shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity sponsored or conducted by the university on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, veteran status, sexual orientation, age, or disability. Therefore, only organizations that confirm they are equal opportunity/affirmative action employers with a bona fide interest in our students and alumni as potential employees will be allowed to participate in on-campus recruiting programs.
Cancellation of Interviews
When you have accepted an invitation for an interview, please keep the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to keep the appointment, cancel within twenty-four (24) hours. In the event of a cancellation, proper notice must be given to avoid removal from the on-campus recruiting system. No shows are not acceptable!
Failure to appear for a scheduled interview requires that you schedule an appointment with an Associate Director or Director of the Career Center. You will also be required to write a letter of apology to the employer who was expecting you. More than one no show will result in the loss of on-campus interviewing privileges for the semester. Missed interviews reflect poorly on you and the university.
Falsification/Misrepresentation of Information
It is important that you represent yourself to potential employers honestly and accurately. Not doing so could cost you a job opportunity. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and contents of your registration data, resume and other employment application materials. Any misrepresentation or falsification of information is considered a violation of the UT Dallas Code of Conduct and will be referred to the Dean of Students. Such violation may also result in the the disabling of your Handshake account and the removal of on-campus interviewing privileges.
Professional Practices & Expectations
As career professionals, the UT Dallas Career Center adheres to the Principles for Professional Conduct of the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) as our guide for ethical practice. We also hold the employers, students and alumni who work with our office to a high standard of professional conduct.
The following recommended practices are intended to provide a framework for such conduct; please review them carefully.
- Acknowledge invitations for interviews or appointments promptly whether you accept or reject them. Accept invitations only if you intend to seriously consider an offer that may result.
- Notify the Career Center in advance if you must postpone or cancel appointments.
- Should you be invited for a site visit, discuss with the employer what costs the employer will cover and verify all arrangements in advance.
- Respond immediately to offers. Discuss offers with employers to verify terms and reach mutually acceptable response deadlines.
- Request extensions from employers if you need more time to consider their offers.
- Notify employers of your decision to accept or reject as soon as you have made your decision, and no later than the agreed upon deadline.
- Respond to every offer whether you accept or reject it.
Upon acceptance of an offer:
- Write your letter of acceptance to the employer.
- Notify the Career Center of your success immediately.
- Immediately notify other employers with whom you have offers pending.
- Let your word be your bond. Honor your acceptance as a contractual agreement with the employer.
- Never accept two offers and never renege or continue to interview after you have accepted an offer.
Preparing for the On-Campus Interview
- Secure a copy of your official transcripts so you can photocopy them for your campus interviews when an employer requests you to do so.
- Proof your resume and have it critiqued by a member of the Career Center staff.
- Keep your registration data and resume accurate and up to date.
- Research the employer, visit their website and read any literature provided.
- Be prepared for your interview.
- Attend the How to Interview seminar sponsored by the Career Center or schedule an individual mock interview with a career counselor.
- Watch the Career Events Bulletin in the Handshake for opportunities to interview with employers who schedule on-campus interview days.

Animal Health Technician
Introduction: Drug compounding is an integral part of veterinary clinical practice. Veterinarians prepare veterinary medical preparations for their patients partly because no suitable registered veterinary formulations exist. Despite the advances in new drug development and availability, many unmet needs still remain
In terms of the General Regulations of the Medicines and Related Substances (Act 101 of 1965) compound means to prepare, mix, combine, package and label a medicine preparation for dispensing as result of a prescription for an individual patient or a person authorised in terms of the Act. This includes repackaging of medicines. For the purpose of this guideline compounding is defined as "the preparation of a medicament that combines legally obtainable ingredients and/or appropriate vehicles, which have not been specifically excluded from animal use" (Upson, JAVMA 205, 2, 1994). It may also include the alteration of the original medicinal dosage form for the purpose of ease of administration or because the original dosage form is unsuitable for the purpose intended. Many medicines are crossed over from one animal species to another, or are human medicines administered to animals.
Compounding should be for the purpose of rational pharmacotherapy, used to promote animal well-being, to enhance their health, and to reduce stress, pain and suffering. In principle the need for compounding should be under exceptional conditions when registered medicines are not available or are not efficacious. In general the guidelines are for patient care; are within the science and art of current veterinary practice; are responsive and responsible; are for the animal's welfare; and are not for manufacturing.
Veterinarians and pharmacists involved in compounding must be cognisant of potential incompatibilities and procedures that may interfere with the preparation's stability, purity, and/or potency. Some compounded medical formulations are known to present problems in safety and potency (Papich, AAPS Journal 7:2005 pp E281 – E287). Interspecies difference in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics pose difficulty when compounding a drug for a different species.
The necessity for compounding in veterinary practice is recognised but overall compounded veterinary medical preparations must not harm animals, should not be associated with therapeutic failure resulting from lack of medicinal potency, and do not cause violative residues in food-producing animals. In principle compounding by veterinarians and pharmacists should not be performed in an effort to circumvent the usual medicine approval and registration process.
Liability: Although rational pharmacotherapy is the veterinarian's privilege and responsibility, it must be borne in mind that the veterinarian prescribing or using a compounded veterinary medical preparations takes full responsibility and liability for its use.
General guidelines:
I. Compounded drugs
a) Must be used only by, or on prescription of a veterinarian registered with the SAVC;
b) Must be used only if a valid veterinarian/client/patient relationship exists and follow the code of conduct, chapter 7, on the responsibilities arising from the use of veterinary medicinal products (http://www.savc.co.za/cocap.htm#_Toc145304065);
c) May be used or dispensed only for the treatment or prevention of disease or to improve the health and/or welfare of the animal(s) and not as a management tool to improve production;
d) Needs to be linked to a specific patient for a specific condition;
e) May be used only when a need has been established and when registered veterinary medicines or stock remedies are not available in a suitable or requested specific formulation or where no alternative registered medication exists; and.
II. Compounded drugs may not be utilised for animals in food production except for the treatment of individual diseased animals.
III. The veterinarian must apply his/her professional judgement consistent with currently acceptable veterinary clinical practice in ensuring the safety and efficacy of the veterinary medical preparation.
IV. The veterinarian must use professional judgement consistent with proper pharmaceutical and pharmacologic principals when compounding a veterinary medical preparation or when prescribing such a compounded preparation. The following points should be considered:
a) The stability of the active ingredients.
b) The physical and chemical compatibility of the active ingredients.
c) The pharmacodynamic compatibility of the active ingredients.
d) The active ingredients and diluents must be of known composition and not contaminated with harmful substances or agents.
V. The compounded veterinary medical preparation must be properly labelled before being dispensed. It must be dispensed according to the veterinarian's prescription, must have a complete, indelible, legible label attached. A complete label requires the following:
- Name and address of the attending veterinarian;
- Date dispensed;
- Active ingredients;
- Identity of animal(s) to be treated (i.e., species, class, group, or individual animal(s);
- Directions for use;
- Cautionary statements, if needed;
Additional information that may be included on a label: Disease conditions to be treated; Expiry date.
VI. Compounded veterinary medical preparations must not be advertised or displayed to the public.
VII. A compounded veterinary preparation for food producing animals must either be compounded by the veterinarian for his/her own use or compounded by a registered pharmacist on prescription of a veterinary professional and, where applicable, only registered medicines or active pharmaceutical ingredients from the Medicine Control Council, European Union or Federal Drug Administration may be used to compound the compounded veterinary preparation.
Note: Food producing animals include wildlife harvested for human consumption.

The Chrysoviridae is a family of small non-enveloped isometric viruses (about 40 nm in diameter) with segmented dsRNA genomes (typically four segments). The dsRNA segments are individually encapsidated in separate particles and together comprise 11.5-12.8 kbp. Chrysoviruses infect ascomycetous or basidiomycetous fungi. The single genus, Chrysovirus, includes 9 species.

Typical member
Penicillium chrysogenum virus ATCC 9480 (dsRNA1: AF296439; dsRNA2: AF296440; dsRNA3: AF296441; dsRNA4: AF296442), species Penicillium chrysogenum virus, genus Chrysovirus
Isometric, non-enveloped, 40 nm in diameter
A total of 11.5-12.8 kbp of dsRNA in a quadripartite genome with each segment separately encapsidated
Particles containing both dsRNA and ssRNA can be isolated from infected fungal hosts. Virions accumulate in the cytoplasm
From positive-sense transcripts of genomic dsRNAs
Host Range
One genus (Chrysovirus) including 9 species
Virions are isometric, non-enveloped, about 40 nm in diameter. The capsid of Penicillium chrysogenum virus (PcV) comprises 60 copies of a 109 kDa polypeptide (982-aa) arranged on a T=1 icosahedral lattice (Figure 1.Chrysoviridae). The most prominent features are 12 outward-protruding pentamers. The capsid protein is formed by a repeated a-helical domain, indicative of gene duplication despite a lack of sequence similarity between the two halves (Luque et al., 2010). This domain has a fold that is conserved among dsRNA viruses (Luque et al., 2014). The capsid inner surface has highly positively charged triskelion-shaped areas that maintain the encapsidated genome in close contact with the inner capsid surface. Arrangement of dsRNA might facilitate genome mobility within the capsid for its transcription and replication. It may also have a structural role in capsid stability (Castón et al., 2013).

(Middle) Atomic model of the PcV capsid viewed along a twofold axis. (Right) Atomic model of a PcV capsid protein (top view) showing the N-terminal domain (1–498, blue), the linker segment (499–515, red), and the C-terminal domain (516–982, yellow). Symbols indicate icosahedral symmetry axes.
Virion buoyant density in CsCl is in the range of 1.34–1.39 g cm−3and S20,w is 145-150S (Buck and Girvan 1977, Sanderlin and Ghabrial 1978, Wood and Bozarth 1972).
Virions contain four linear, separately encapsidated, dsRNA segments. PcV segments are 2.9–3.6 kbp; Table 2.Chrysoviridae (Jiang and Ghabrial 2004). The largest segment, dsRNA1, codes for the virion-associated RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP; P1) and dsRNA2 codes for the major CP; P2. Both dsRNAs 3 and 4 encode proteins of unknown function, designated as chryso-P3 and chryso-P4, respectively (Ghabrial 2008). Sequences at the 5′- and 3′-UTRs are highly conserved among the four-dsRNA segments (Figure 2.Chrysoviridae). The 5′-UTRs are relatively long, between 140 and 400 nt (nucleotides). In addition to the absolutely conserved 5′- and 3′-termini, a 40–75 nt region with high sequence identity is present in the 5′-UTR of all four dsRNAs (Table 1.Chrysoviridae; Figure 2.Chrysoviridae). A second region of strong sequence similarity is present immediately downstream from Box 1 and consists of 30–50 nt containing a reiteration of the sequence "CAA". The (CAA)n repeats are similar to the enhancer elements present at the 5′-UTRs of tobamoviruses (Gallie and Walbot 1992).

Figure 2.Chrysoviridae. Genome organization of Penicillium chrysogenum virus ATCC 9480 (PcV-ATCC9480). The genome consists of four dsRNA segments; each is monocistronic. The RdRP ORF (nt positions 145 to 3,498 on dsRNA1), the CP ORF (nt positions 158 to 3,106 on dsRNA2), the P3 ORF (nt positions 162 to 2900 on dsRNA3) and the P4 ORF (nt positions 163 to 2706 on dsRNA4) are represented by rectangular boxes. Although the functions of P3 and P4 are unknown (see below), the N-terminal region of P3 shares high sequence similarity with the corresponding N-terminal region of RdRP (P7/P-loop domain; possibly an nucleotide triphosphate hydrase [NTPase] domain). P4 is a putative cysteine protease.
The capsids are made up of a single major polypeptide species (100–113 kDa). Virion-associated RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity is present.
Classified chrysoviruses have multipartite genomes comprising four linear dsRNA segments (as exemplified by PcV; Figure 2.Chrysoviridae). Each segment is monocistronic; dsRNA1 codes for the RdRP (P1) and dsRNA2 codes for the major CP (P2). Although the proteins P3 and P4 (designated chryso-P3 and chryso-P4), coded for by PcV dsRNA3 and dsRNA4, respectively, are of unknown function, protein database searches reveal that PcV-P3 sequence shares a "phytoreo S7 domain" with a protein family consisting of several phytoreovirus P7 proteins that are known to be viral core proteins (Jiang and Ghabrial 2004, Liu et al., 2012). Interestingly, the N-terminal regions of PcV-P3 (and corresponding P3 proteins of other chrysoviruses) share significant sequence similarity with comparable N-terminal regions of RdRPs encoded by chrysovirus dsRNA1s (Jiang and Ghabrial 2004, Liu et al., 2012). Furthermore, HHPred (Soding et al., 2005) predicts a separate P-loop NTPase domain near the N terminus of P1, which oserlaps the region of P1 that is represented by homologous sequences in P3. The P7/P-loop NTPase domain (Pathak et al., 2014) in P1 is independent (non-overlapping) of the RdRP domain in P1. Thus, P1 has at least two distinct enzymatic activities, RdRP and NTPase, mediated by at least two different domains. The PcV P4 (and comparable proteins of other chrysoviruses) contains the motifs that form the conserved core of the ovarian tumor gene-like superfamily of predicted cysteine proteases (Covelli et al., 2004). HHPred also shows that P4 has a region of homology with P2/CP. All of these motifs/homologies are shared by all fungal chrysoviruses with quadripartite genomes. The unclassified, chrysovirus-related viruses with tripartite genomes (see list of related, unclassified viruses), which mostly infect plants, lack a PcV P3 homolog; otherwise the virally-encoded proteins share the same motifs in the same relative positions as in the homologous proteins of fungal chrysoviruses with quadripartite genomes.
Assignment of numbers 1–4 to PcV dsRNAs was made according to their decreasing size. There is, however, some variation in the relative sizes of segments 3 and 4 among other chysoviruses. For example, dsRNA segments 3 of Amasya cherry disease associated chrysovirus (ACDACV), Cryphonectria nitschkei chrysovirus 1 (CnCV1), and Helminthosporium victoriae 145S virus (HvV145S) are shorter than their corresponding segments 4. Sequence comparisons confirmed that dsRNA3s of ACDACV, CnCV1 and HvV145S are in fact the counterparts of PcV dsRNA4 rather than dsRNA3. Likewise, dsRNA4s of these three chrysoviruses are the counterparts of PcV dsRNA3. Since PcV was the first chrysovirus to be characterized at the molecular level and to avoid confusion, the protein designations P3 and P4 as used for PcV are adopted and referred to as chryso-P3 and chryso-P4.
The virion-associated RdRP catalyzes in vitro end-to-end conservative transcription of each dsRNA to produce mRNA. Virions accumulate in the cytoplasm.
High quality antisera are produced in rabbits immunized with purified virions.
Chrysoviruses are typically associated with latent infections of their fungal hosts. Chrysoviruses lack an extracellular phase to their life cycle; they are transmitted intracellularly during cell division and sporogenesis (vertical transmission) and by cell fusion following hyphal anastomosis between compatible fungal strains (horizontal transmission) (Ghabrial 2008). Unclassified, chrysovirus-related viruses with 3-segmented dsRNA genomes mostly infect plants with evidence for vertical transmission through seeds (Zhang et al., 2017, Li et al., 2013). Furthermore, some unclassified, chrysovirus-related viruses with 5 dsRNA segments cause deleterious effects in their fungal hosts (Urayama et al., 2010, Urayama et al., 2012, Urayama et al., 2014).
Chryso: from the specific epithet of Penicillium chrysogenum.
Phylogenetic analysis based on the complete deduced amino acid sequences of RdRPs of members of family Chrysoviridae and related, unclassified viruses with 3-5 dsRNA segments (Figure 3.Chrysoviridae) leads to the identification of two distinct clusters: cluster I (shaded in blue) corresponds to classified members of the genus Chrysovirus combined with the 3-segmented chrysovirus-related unclassified viruses. Cluster II comprises chrysovirus-related, unclassified viruses with 4 or 5 genomic segments. Among the 5-segmented chrysovirus-related viruses, Magnaporthe oryzae chrysovirus 1-A (MoCV1-A) and Magnaporthe oryzae chrysovirus 1-B (MoCV 1-B) are most closely related to each other but form a sister sub-clade to Fusarium graminearum dsRNA mycovirus-2 (FgV2), Fusarium graminearum mycovirus-China9 (FgV-ch9), Tolypocladium cylindrosporum virus 2 (TocV2) and Aspergillus mycovirus 1816 (AmV1816). It is noteworthy that dsRNA 5 is dispensable for replication of MoCV-1-B as stable derivatives with 4 dsRNA segments can be readily obtained via sub-culturing (Urayama et al., 2014).

Macrophomina phaseolina chrysovirus 1
(Marzano et al., 2016)
Fusarium oxysporum chrysovirus 1
Amasya cherry disease associated chrysovirus
(Covelli et al., 2004)
Other fungal viruses that possess four dsRNA genome segments include members of the family Quadriviridae (Lin et al., 2012) and the unclassified viruses Alternaria alternate virus 1 (Aoki et al., 2009) and Aspergillus fumigatus tetramycovirus-1 (Kanhayuwa et al., 2015). From these, however, only Quadriviridae shows any close phylogenetic relatedness to chrysoviruses in the RdRP gene, along with members of the Botybirnaviridae, Megabirnaviridae and Totiviridae. These latter viruses, however, have quite different genome organisations (2, 2 and 1 genome segment respectively). Virion structures are also distinct; the latter possessing T=1 capsids made up from 120-subunits of homodimeric or heterodimeric capsid proteins (Luque et al., 2016) instead of 60 copies of a single, internally duplicated capsid protein arranged on a T=1 icosahedral lattice (Figure 2.Chrysoviridae) (Castón et al., 2003).
Figure 3.Chrysoviridae. Phylogenetic analysis of members of the family Chrysoviridae and related, unclassified viruses based on amino acid sequences of their RdRPs. The viruses cluster into two groups; cluster I contains viruses with 4 (blue box) or 3 genome segments (green box) and include classified members of the genus Chrysovirus (indicated by bold type). Viruses in Cluster II (yellow box) have either 4 or 5 genome segments. A multiple alignment of RdRP amino acid sequences was produced using MUSCLE (Edgar 2004) within the program SSEv1 (Simmonds 2012). A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree constructed from this alignment for distance calculated with a Poisson model and a gamma distribution of rates between sites using the program MEGA 6.0 (Tamura et al., 2013). Bootstrap percentages (1000 replicates) are shown (Figure provided by D.B.Smith).
Unclassified, chrysoviruses-related viruses with 3 dsRNA genome segments are mostly plant viruses (Table 4.Chrysoviridae), (Zhang et al., 2017, Li et al., 2013, Zhong et al., 2016). These 3-segmented viruses lack a PcV P3 homolog but their other encoded proteins share the same motifs in the same relative positions as in the homologous proteins of classified fungal chrysoviruses. Four of the five known 3-segmented chrysovirus-related viruses infect plants. Only Colletotrichum gloeosporioides chrysovirus 1-HZ-1 (CgCV1-HZ-1) infects a plant pathogenic fungus (Zhang et al., 2017). Interestingly, CgCV1-HZ-1 clusters with the fungal 4-segmented chrysoviruses, but not with the 3-segmented plant chrysovirus-related viruses. Host preference and the number of genome segments may justify the creation of a new genus with five new species in the family Chrysoviridae to accommodate the 3-segmented chrysovirus-related viruses. Whether the 4 or 5-segmented chrysovirus-related viruses in cluster II (Figure 3.Chrysoviridae, yellow shaded clade) can be accommodated in a new genus within the family Chrysoviridae or in a separate family is not yet clear. Although the RdRPs encoded by these viruses have the P7/ P-loop NTPase domain at their N-termini as well as the RdRP conserved motifs, the other virally encoded proteins lack the motifs identified in typical chrysoviruses (e.g. motifs of predicted cysteine proteases). Furthermore, the capsids of the 5-segmented chrysovirus-related viruses appear to contain more than one structural protein. Future studies on detailed capsid structure may provide useful insights to the taxonomic placement of the 5-segmented chrysovirus-related viruses.

Since only one genus (Chrysovirus) is currently recognized in the family Chrysoviridae, the family description above corresponds to the genus description. For clarity, the additional information that can be found on the genus page is also presented below.
Members of the genus Chrysovirus infect ascomycetous or basidiomycetous fungi. All members have four dsRNA genome segments ranging from 2.5 to 3.6 kbp. The genome comprises 11.5-12.8 kbp in total. The dsRNA segments are individually encapsidated in separate particles.
Species demarcation criteria:
Species demarcation considers a combination of each of the criteria listed above. While nucleotide and amino acid sequence relatedness are important criteria for species demarcation, the other listed criteria may be useful in demarcation of genetically closely related viruses that nevertheless belong to different species.
See Table 3.Chrysoviridae and Figure 3.Chrysoviridae for further details of these viruses.

Watching tnt .. wow Barkley such a big knick hater
Watching tnt .. wow Barkley such a big knick hater
"I'm more concern how Melo is gonna play with Lin" Joe Budden
Charles Barkley just said JR Smith is a starter. Ernie told him that JR Smith hasn't started a game this season. Barkley went off on ANOTHER tangent.
WTF is wrong with him? Was he raped in New York?
Did he get arrested more times in NY than anywhere else?
He's such a misinformed, fat bitch.
Lol well it's true the Nets on paper are better at each position but f*ck them, they have like 1 defender and they aren't a team.
Game time! Pumped.
Might be a blessing in disguise having Kidd out... I know Kidd can defend but JJ has so much size on him, and he's recently started to get hot after his slow start. I'd be happier having Brewer defend Johnson.
This also gives more chance for us to run out our bigs tonight. Camby better get at least 12-15 minutes.
No Kidd!? Damn. I'm worried about this one, dudes! Not loving it....
No Stat
No Shump
No Kidd
No sign of Camby
Hobbling Sheed..................They actually have a chance tonight , hope were up by 10 at the half so I can hear what these two fat bitches on TNT have to say.
" It's a new era for the Knicks "
Hell yeah Kurt
" It's a new era for the Knicks "
Im hyped as fvck!!! Lehzzzgooooo Knicks!!!!
Brewer is worse of a shooter than Jeffries was....

Movie awards season is upon us. The prestige films are coming fast and furious, while awards groups across the country are handing out prizes. With the Golden Globes nominations announced Dec. 13, now's the time to catch up on this year's contenders.
The New York Film Critics Circle kicked off the season of giving on Monday Dec. 3, naming "Zero Dark Thirty," Jessica Chastain's new film about the hunt for Bin Laden, the best picture of 2012, an opinion the National Board of Review seconded two days later, so it's clearly got a leg up on the competition, but there's still plenty of serious contenders.
Les Miserables (In theaters Dec. 25) – This is the kind of movie that makes the awards voters swoon: a star-studded, epic, historical musical from an Oscar-winning director. Hugh Jackman lost and gained 30 pounds, Anne Hathaway belted out a heart-wrenching version of "I Dreamed a Dream" while having her hair hacked off (for real!) and Tom Hooper delivers intensely intimate moments as well as sweeping vistas. "Suddenly," the new song written just for the film by Claude-Michel Schonberg, Alain Boublil and Herbert Kretzmer, the men responsible for the original musical, is sure to hear its name called in the coming weeks, if only on principle.
Lincoln (In theaters) – Steven Spielberg directs Daniel Day Lewis in a film about Abraham Lincoln's efforts to abolish slavery? Throw in great supporting turns from Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones, and a score by John Williams… it almost doesn't seem fair, does it?
The Master – Paul Thomas Anderson's new movie wasn't the searing indictment of Scientology that many expected, and didn't bring in big audiences, but PTA drew brilliant performances from Joaquin Phoenix, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams, and his script was a provocative look at the post-WWII American man. Any score by Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead is always a threat to be disqualified by one academy or another.
Beasts of the Southern Wild (Now on home video) – The Little Movie That Could, "Beasts" has already won the Grand Jury Prize and Cinematography Award at Sundance. Quvenzhané Wallis has a very real chance of becoming the youngest Best Actress nominee in Oscar history, for her turn as Hushpuppy, a young girl in Louisiana whose home is facing destruction at the same time her father's health is faltering. This one will get plenty of nominations despite SAG disqualifying it for using amateur actors.
Silver Linings Playbook (In theaters) – After starting his career with a dark comedy about mother-son incest, David O. Russell has become a master of the feel-good dramedy. His latest finds Bradley Cooper as a man determined to win back his wife after a stint in an institution, and enlists Jennifer Lawrence to help him, with Robert De Niro pitching in with a strong turn as Cooper's Eagles-obsessed father. All three will get nods, as will Russell for his work behind the camera and with the script.
Zero Dark Thirty (NY/LA on Dec. 21) – Jessica Chastain is amazing as a Bin Laden-obsessed CIA agent, leading an ensemble cast of mostly men in the first film from Kathryn Bigelow since she won Best Director for "The Hurt Locker." Bigelow returns to the deserts of the Middle East and beyond as she recounts the hunt for Osama bin Laden, working with a script from journalist-turned-screenwriter Mark Boal, who is arguably the MVP of the film.
Argo – The true(-ish) story of a hero who smuggled a group of Americans out of Tehran during the Iran Hostage Crisis, Argo sees Ben Affleck's stock as a director of great genre films continue to rise. A great story that features two outstanding supporting performances from Alan Arkin and John Goodman, either of who could snag a nomination.
Django Unchained (In theaters Dec. 25) – Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Basterds" won dozens of awards and was nominated for dozens more, and "Django" promises to be just as popular with awards bodies, with strong bids for Directing, Screenwriting, three Acting categories, Cinematography and more.
Moonrise Kingdom (Now on home video) – Wes Anderson is always a threat to score a writing nomination, and his films always feature top-flight acting (Bruce Willis, Ed Norton, Frances McDormand and Bill Murray all shine in supporting roles), great music and distinctive art direction.
Life of Pi (In theaters) – Ang Lee has already been twice nominated for the Best Director Oscar, winning for "Brokeback Mountain", and this tale of a young man adrift on a boat for nine months with only a tiger for company could have him back in the mix. Lee's uses a candy-coated palette of colors, incredibly immersive 3D and some remarkable CGI to create a fairy tale universe.
The Hobbit (In theaters Dec. 14) – The three "Lord of the Rings" movies averaged 10 Oscar nominations apiece, if "The Hobbit" gets only half that it will be among the most honored films of the year. There's a wild card in play, however, as the film is the first to be shot at 48 frames-per-second, a new format that many moviegoers find disorienting--will awards bodies embrace the technology? Maybe this will be the year that the Academy finally recognizes the work of Andy Serkis—doubt it, though.
Magic Mike (Now on home video) – Steven Soderbergh's comedy based on the exploits of a young Channing Tatum stands as the greatest film ever made about the demimonde of male strippers. Who would've guessed this would end up cracking top 10 lists and finding itself in the awards mix for acting (Matthew McConaughey) and screenwriting (Reid Carolin), among others?
The Dark Knight Rises (Now on home video) – The climax to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy is popcorn cinema at its most artistically and intellectually ambitious, and will garner bushels of technical awards. The only thing standing in the way of Anne Hathaway sweeping the Best Supporting Actress awards for her turn as Catwoman is her turn as Fantine in "Les Mis."
The Sessions – Another Oscar button-pusher: the story of a disabled man (John Hawkes) seeking spiritual guidance from a priest (William H. Macy) about the morality of hiring a woman (Helen Hunt) to help him lose his virginity—and it's based on a true story. All three actors will get nods, as will writer Ben Lewin.
Amour – German writer-director Michael Haneke's film about the love between an aging couple already won top prize at Cannes, is a sure thing for Best Foreign film and has already been nominated for Best Actor, Actress, Cinematographer, Director, Writer and Film by the European Film Awards, and can expect further recognition from any awards for which it is eligible.
