2012 NFL Draft: 5 Players the Green Bay Packers Must Target
By Matt Johnson ,
The Green Bay Packers have one goal heading into this year's NFL Draft. After putting together a mind-blowing offensive season this past year, it is safe to say that their offense will continue to put up points against any opponent in 2012.
However, what remains the chief concern for all Packers officials and fans is the play of the defense. They were simply not good enough to win the Super Bowl last year. Their drop off from 2010 to 2011 was quite remarkable. In order to compete for the Lombardi Trophy next season, they must improve their defense at all positions.
Luckily, there are many quality defensive prospects available in this year's draft, and the Packers are primed to take full advantage of their picks. They have the leadership and experience on the defensive side of the ball to be great, but, if they play like they did this past season, all that talent will be for naught.
If the Green Bay coaches are able to successfully integrate these new defensive players into their system, watch out for the Packers come playoff time. Here are five players that the Packers must target in the upcoming draft to ensure that they are well-equipped on both sides of the ball.
The Sooners defensive star possesses great strength and speed at the linebacker position. He has shown his ability to close on the QB and enjoys great awareness on the field.
He would benefit the Green Bay Packers—if they were to select him—and become a great complement to Clay Matthews and A.J. Hawk. His pass-rush abilities would take pressure off the safeties and cornerbacks when they are matched up in single coverage as well.
If he can learn from Matthews and become more effective dropping into pass coverage, he will provide the Packers with a much-needed defensive spark. He would be a very wise selection in either the first or second round of this year's draft.
At 6'3" and 250 pounds, the defensive end from Southern California would be a great addition to the Green Bay Packers defense. B.J. Raji did not have a great season in 2011, and their defensive line was often invisible. Many quarterbacks enjoyed way too much time in the pocket against the Green Bay pass rush.
Adding a high draft pick to the defensive line will drastically improve the Packers as a team. Their defense was suspect all season, but Aaron Rodgers and the offense were so effective that their defensive struggles were often overshadowed and underplayed.
If Perry is able to add some muscle and improve his quickness off the line, he could be a great selection for the Pack.
Another solid defensive end who will pay dividends for Green Bay, Devon Still is hoping to bring his confidence and performance from the college game into the pros. He is a monster, weighing 310 pounds and standing tall at 6'4". His consistency and quickness have been questioned, but his presence on the defensive line is quite impressive.
Still possesses solid technique, so becoming integrated in to the Green Bay scheme should not be too much of a concern. Further, he is great at tackling inside runners—another issue that haunted Green Bay fans all season.
His tendency to get behind the line of scrimmage and tackle runners for a loss must look attractive to Packers scouts. Setting up second (or third) and long situations will create opportunities for the DB's to come up with more interceptions.
The Green Bay Packers should heavily consider drafting Devon Still in either the second or third round of the draft.
This past year in Green Bay, the safeties did not have their best season. The loss of Nick Collins proved devastating, and there seemed to be more holes in the Packers secondary than a slice of Swiss cheese.
Mike McCarthy is hopeful that Collins will return at 100 percent next season, but that is no guarantee. Selecting Markelle Martin out of Oklahoma State in this year's draft would be a smart move to add some depth to the safety position. He was named to the All-Big 12 First Team for his play with the Cowboys this past season.
One of his biggest attributes is his tackling ability, which would at least be a start to erasing the nightmare of that long Hakeem Nicks touchdown in the divisional round. There are many strong offensive teams in the NFL who are after a good young safety to shore up a struggling secondary.
If the Packers can secure Martin in the third or fourth round, it will be a step in the right direction for their defense.
With Matt Flynn almost certainly on the move this offseason, the Packers are going to need to draft a quality young backup to learn under Aaron Rodgers. Rarely does Rodgers sit out, unless the Packers have already clinched a bye or as precaution after a concussion.
The last two seasons have shown that Matt Flynn was able to fill in for Rodgers and put up impressive numbers. The Packers have an incredible offensive system so, if they can secure a quarterback with proven success at the college level, they will be able to develop the next great backup.
Russell Wilson from Wisconsin may very well be that next great backup. He already plays in the same state as the Packers, so the late draft selection makes sense. He has been touted as a player with a strong arm and the ability to make plays with his feet.
That sounds very familiar to the current starting signal caller at Lambeau Field. Wilson is a very accurate passer, completing around 73 percent of his throws. He also led his Badgers to the Rose Bowl this past season.
The Packers would be smart to use one of their later draft picks to select the next quarterback they plan on developing under Aaron Rodgers.

Standard SSH Access vs. Root SSH Access
All of our VPS Hosting and Dedicated Servers include ssh (shell) access. Shared Hosting users have no ssh access. By default, the ssh access you have is for your specific cPanel account. For example, if your cPanel username is userna5, when you log in via SSH you will only have access to edit files under the userna5 user and not for anyone else.
When you get Root access, you will also be assigned Custom Nameservers, that you must use.
What is Root Access?
If you're familiar with managing a Windows server, you know then that the Administrator can edit any files on the server and perform any tasks they need to. Linux has a similar administrative account, but it is named "root" instead of "administrator".
The Root user on the server can do much more than the standard user. The root user can perform various tasks that other users cannot, such as:
- Install server wide applications
- Configure server wide applications, such as Apache or MySQL
- Edit any file on the server
Root access is not given by default on VPS or Dedicated Hosting Accounts. Because the root user can do anything they want, the level of support we can offer varies slightly for accounts that have root access. Because of this, we require users to accept our Root Access Disclosure before we allow root access to their servers.
Requesting Root Access
To review our Root Access Disclosure or to request Root Access:
- Log into AMP
- Under your account name, click the Request Root Access button.
- Click Request Root Access under the Add Additional Services menu.
- Read the root access disclosure agreement, and click the provided link to proceed.
- Enter your preferred nameservers, and click the SUBMIT button.
You will then see a message stating "Root Password Request Submitted." Our team will process this request as quickly as possible. You will receive a notice with the IP's of your nameservers, and at that time you will be able to complete creation of your nameservers and proceed to full root access.

Issusing the root password with your standard cPanel username won't work, as that user isn't given root privileges when you request root access.You need to ssh with the user root, and the root password.I didn't receive and email from InMotion after requesting root, so I am not sure if this information is also located there. |
2014-03-10 10:53 am
Staff That is indeed correct. You will need to log in using root and not the cPanel username.

Heavy rains caused flooding in the northern part of Haiti on April 9, 2013.
| Posted: April 15, 2013 | Updated: April 15, 2013
Some damage was reported but no lives were lost. Currently, 15 families from Cité Chauvel Child Survival Program (HA-C29) and 59 children from Blue-Hill's Child Development Center (HA-821) have been affected. The homes of these families were damaged, and some families have been temporarily relocated. Three center staff members from Vertières Child Development Center (HA-744) were also affected and lost personal belongings. The affected families have received emergency assistance.
Please pray for those who have been affected by the heavy rains and flooding. Please pray for the Lord's continued protection and care of our children in Haiti.

Here's a typical example of what makes me nuts: EW's 20 fall movies you want to see. I defy you to find a link to the actual fall movie preview cover story that you can read. Like, the one with real reporting from their crackerjack staff?
And here's TotalFilm's obvious celeb grab: a career overview of Brad Pitt.
Oprah Winfrey will launch her new season September 14 with celebrity train wreck Whitney Houston. It's her first sit-down interview in seven years.
There's a one-night only release of The Wizard of Oz set for September 23. When I was a kid it was a big deal to gather round a TV and watch The Wizard of Oz once a year.
Due to the global recession, the BFI is announcing a proposed merger with the UK Film Council:
Plans to merge the UK Film Council (UKFC) and the British Film Institute (BFI) into a single body to support film could benefit both the filmgoing public and the industry, Film Minister Siôn Simon said today.An organisation with both a cultural and economic remit would mean public support for film is better coordinated, with more of the available funding channelled directly to frontline services. A proposed merger, designed to protect the key existing functions of both the BFI and UKFC while reducing gaps and overlaps, is now being considered by Government and industry leaders.
How do you feel about those greeting cards with chips that deliver messages when you open them? Well, now advertisers are using magazines as a way to get you where you live, reports the Financial Times:
When some readers of Entertainment Weekly open their magazines next month, they will discover characters from US television programmes speaking to them from a wafer-thin video screen built into the page. The marketing experiment – which is being conducted by CBS, the US broadcaster, and Pepsi, the soft drinks maker – recalls the fantasy newspapers of the Harry Potter films and works much like a singing greetings card, with the video starting once a reader turns the appropriate page.

Leave Whitney alone. We all make mistakes. Look at Mickey Rourke!!
Ryan Sartor | August 20, 2009 8:08 AM
Even "Inglourious Basterds," which has midnight screenings tonight, has no review by the New York Times online. What if someone wanted their opinion before seeing it at midnight? They're out of luck.
Ryan Sartor | August 20, 2009 8:06 AM
I really agree about EW. Their fall movie preview articles are GREAT. If they posted them online, they could sell more ads, and maybe (just maybe) people would say, "Hey, I want to get a subscription to this."
The New York Times is equally frustrating. They post their film reviews online often at 10 pm the day before the movie is released. I'm sure the reviews are edited days in advance (or should be). By the time they appear online, the rottentomatoes and metacritic census has already been decided, and the NY Times review (often the best) becomes irrelevant.

A healthy garden requires care, patience, and protection from predators. One of those predators could be a feline. Cats can cause a great deal of damage to our gardens. Luckily, there are a variety of ways to protect our plants and crops without harming our furry little friends.
Things Health Nuts Do With Their Food
There are a variety of things people do to food. Some of the most common practices are baking, grilling, frying, deep frying, and microwaving. However, if you are a true health nut, you cut back on the heat and destruction of food, and focus on processes that leave it raw or lightly cooked so real healing can begin in the body. Here are the top 5 things health nuts do with their food.

The Difference Between Heirlooms, Hybrids, and GMOs
There is nothing quite like the taste of a fresh fruit or vegetable straight from the garden. To the eye of the gardener, this vegetable picked ripe off of the vine is perfect. They nurtured it, carefully tended to it, and then finally, get to enjoy the fruit of their labors. However, compare this vegetable to one at the grocery store and it is suddenly asymmetrical, small, not candy apple red, and even has, gasp!, a brown spot.

LED Light Bulbs are an Economical and Green Alternative to Other Grow Lights
A Purdue University study by Professor Carry Mitchel and doctorial student Celina Gomez shows that using LED lights instead of the conventional HPS lights (high pressure sodium) for growing tomatoes could give the same yields of fruit from the plants while using 25% of the energy the HPS lights use.

It's easy enough to say you want to build an organic garden, but how does one actually get started?

You can even apply them to containers you might only have space for on your apartment balcony. I've helped build and design gardens from small window sill pots to 200 acre properties. The elements are the same. Stick to the plan and you won't go wrong.

WP: Bronson Arroyo (10-7, 3.87 ERA) LP: Vance Worley (6-9, 4.06 ERA) SV: Aroldis Chapman (31)
Tonight's game remained scoreless up until the top of the fifth inning, when the Reds took a two-run advantage on RBI singles by outfielders Drew Stubbs and Ryan Ludwick to right fielder Domonic Brown. Up until two outs in the bottom half of the fifth inning, Bronson Arroyo hadn't allowed a base-runner to Phillies batters. With Domonic Brown going yard at the plate right thereafter for the first time of 2012, he cut the deficit in half and ended any hope of perfection for the opposition.
Brown's home run came an inning after he misplayed a routine fly-ball and allowed Jay Bruce to triple on the play. Two batters later he redeemed himself, recording his third outfield assist in 12 games this season when he threw Jay Bruce out at home plate to end the inning. Bruce answered right back in the top of the 8th inning, when he ironically homered over B...

Topic: The Pearl
Compare and contrast the relationship between Kino and Juana at the beginning and the end of The Pearl.
1 Answer | add yours
At the beginning of The Pearl, Juana and Kino seem to have a close relationship. He describes her as in some ways tougher than himself.
Kino had wondered often at the iron in his patient, fragile wife. She, who was obedient and respectful and cheerful and patient, could bear physical pain with hardly a cry. She could stand fatigue and hunger almost better than Kino himself. (ch 1, p. 4)
Kino acts helpless, but it is Juana who sucks the scorpion venom from the baby's wound and asks for the doctor.
At the end of the story, Kino and Juana are only somewhat changed by their experiences with the pearl and the baby's death. Juana seems more changed than Kino.
Her face was hard and lined and leathery with fatigue and with the tightness with which she fought fatigue. And her wide eyes stared inward on herself. She was as remote and as removed as Heaven. (ch 6, p. 47)
The disagreement over the pearl and the death of the baby has been a blow to their relationship. Yet despite this, Juana and Kino remain together. When they stand side by side, they do so both physically and metaphorically. Kino's family song rises again, and they are ready to go on with their lives.

Here's America's first male-to-female transgendered mayor Stu Rasmussen, 60, of Silverton, Oregon (left) -- and Monty Python actor/comedian Eric Idle, 66, (right).
One of them is being filmed by a production crew in hopes of getting a reality series.
We're just sayin'.
the guy needs to put his pants back on... why does the community let this cross dress mayor behave the wya he does???
Personally, I think he looked better as a man. But hey, who is he hurting by being a female - no one. I wish him happiness and the best!
Leave it to those nutcase liberals in Oregon to choose a mayor who obviously has sexual identity issues.
The mayor's brain is confused and isn't wired properly. Really sad...
This world has gone to hell and what's next man turning into a dog. God is going to get us for this stuff we keep trying to call normal and it's not.
To 3, 7 and 8. Your ignorance and bigotry is disgusting, and what makes me ashamed to share the same country with the likes of you dbags. And #8, there is no God. Just like there is no santa claus, it's fiction...
Have your fun, my man! Me? I don't believe I'd be willing to trade 60-65 years on this earth vs eternity. To each his/her own, I guess. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you're going to hell.....but I wouldn't want to trade places with you.
No's 9&10. You two have this definitive belief that there is no God. Christians believe there is one and that there is a heaven and a hell, and that one day each and every one of us will live eternity in one or the other. I have one other thing that is definitive. One day, after we die, one of us will be proven wrong. It's nice to know that you two are such brave gamblers. Just remember this: In the end, if there is a God, and I believe there is one, you two aren't going to be able to fold your hands and get a re-deal. And if there is a devil, and I believe there is one, I'm quite sure you will at least be thanked by him as he leads you to that "hot spot" which will be your new home...............for eternity. God will have no use for anyone who dosen't believe in him and his powers.

Raingod, there is no rain for you. The moisture you feel are tears from those who pity you....
#13 -- you're very presumptuous in assuming that you know who/what God is. Which "God" are you referring to? Are you referring to the Catholic belief of God? Are you referring to the Jewish belief of God? Are you referring to the Christian belief of God? The Muslim belief? The Buddhist? The Hindu? The larger point to be made is that each and every individual, generally, has their own perception and belief of who/what God is. Just because your God might dictate that "people" will go to Hell or Heaven, only makes it true for you. It doesn't follow that it makes it true for me. You go ahead and worry about where you'll end up once you're dead and gone. Don't worry about me or anyone else who may not buy into your beliefs. I'm very comfortable with my belief and perception of who/what God is and I know exactly where I'll end up. The reason I know this is because God has talked to me and told me so.

The use of music and animation in eLearning
The use of music and animation in an e-learning course
Whether a piece of music or a video clip are tasteful or appropriate is completely subjective. However, a large majority of professionals involved in the e-Learning field believe that sound and animation are tone setters, refreshing, relaxing, mood shifting, alerting, entertaining and generally a quick and effective way to connect the participants' emotions with the course.
According to various studies, the use of high quality, short, content-relevant, age-relevant and well-produced video, graphics and music clips can stimulate audience interest, without being annoying or distracting.
Don't do
According to "E-Learning and the Science of Instruction: Proven Guidelines for Consumers and Designers of Multimedia Learning" by Ruth Clark and Richard Mayer (Pfeiffer, 2011), the best practice is "don't do it", as videos and music clips rather interfere than enhance learning. According to the research of Clark and Mayer, static graphics are better than distracting animation, while other visuals and music clips are mostly decorative, thus with no apparent usefulness.
Truth is that music and animation clips require sound and open plan offices are hardly the right place to blast the speakers. Moreover, for some people it's annoying to listen to the same introduction over and over again, while, last but not least, there is the issue of copyrights. Bottom line is that many professionals believe that a solid, relevant and motivating learning content is the only thing that matters. The rest is just noise.
There is a right way and a wrong way
Duration, volume and genre, as well as the option to "mute" or "skip" greatly affect audience impact and should determine the music and video selection framework. Consequently, the introductory sound clips, videos or animated graphics that will be used for a course, should be:
- Short
- Recorded in a low volume
- Audience and age relative
- Content-related
Finally, the issue of copyrights should not be overlooked. It is complicated, yet not difficult to overcome. One solution is to use library or stock music and the other is to purchase a software that can create sound clips through an internal library of themes, such as Camtasia Studio, Digital Juice, SmartSound and Cinescore. There is also royalty-free music, which can be easily found in the following 34 Websites to Download Royalty Free and Creative Commons Music for Free
An informed and substantiated decision is usually based on diverse information. Below you can find links relevant to the use of music and animation in e-learning, as well as their importance.

Green Vintage-Inspired Kitchen
Starting with period range found online, designer Regina Bilotta of Bilotta Kitchens injects vintage flavor and color into this...
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Looking for a kitchen countertop color that's attractive and unique, but one you won't regret down the road? Consider using variations of green.
The earth-inspired color green not only complements various shades of wood (think cabinetry and flooring), it's also a hue that can go from contemporary (think apple green) or retro (avocado) to farmhouse (creamy and distressed).
Green countertops, though not the most popular choice (that award goes to white, a favorite of kitchen designers and homeowners alike), are a great way to make a statement in the kitchen, but in a subtle way. Think green glass countertops, illuminated by LED lighting, or concrete counters set with an array of decorative recycled green glass for a sustainable "green" that also provides a one-of-a-kind appeal.
Tile countertops are another way to achieve a unique feel—use varying shades of green to create an interesting pattern or color variation that can go from countertop to backsplash.

Copper metallochaperones represent a new family of soluble, low-molecular-weight proteins that function to deliver copper to specific sites within a cell. How the metallochaperones acquire their copper, however, is not known. In this study, we have conducted a survey of known metal ion transporters in bakers' yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to identify those that contribute copper to pathways involving the metallochaperones Atxlp and Lys7p. The results indicatethat, in addition to the well known Ctr1p and Ctr3p high-affinity copper transporters, the metallochaperones can acquire their copper through pathways involving the relatively non-specific divalent metal ion transporter Fet4p and the putative low-affinitycopper transporter Ctr2p. We have examined the localization of Ctr2p using an epitope tagged version of the protein and find that Ctr2p does not localize to the cell surface but may operate at the level of the vacuole to mobilize intracellular copper. Inaddition to Ctrlp, Ctr2p, Ctr3p and Fet4p, other metal transport systems can act as upstream donors of copper for the metallochaperones when copper availability in the medium is increased. Although the nature of these auxiliary systems is unknown, they do not appear to involve the yeast members of the Nramp family of divalent transporters, or uptake mechanisms that involve endocytosis. Since vastly different metal transporters located at either the cell surface or intracellular sites can all contribute copper to metallochaperones, it is unlikely that the metallochaperones directly interact with the metal transporters to obtain the metal.

Before I start this Spokane Chiefs post, I want to pass this along … former Chiefs goalie Dustin Tokarski, (pictured above) playing for Tampa Bay's AHL team in Norfolk, Va., was taken out of a game Saturday after getting cut in the neck with a skate. It required 30 stitches and Tokarski and a teammate posted the pix on Twitter. (While on the Bolt Prospects page, check down the right side to see where Tyler Johnson is among the Lightning prospects before he plays a professional game.)
The Chiefs play Tri-City in a rare 2-3-2 series. The usual scheduling is because both buildings are full next weekend. The Chiefs lost this Friday to Elton John. The teams stretched the 3 out in Tri just for pacing (and I think they want me to drive a lot) because next weekend there is an Amway Convention in the Arena and a two-day youth wrestling tournament in the Toyota Center.
So, since the first game isn't until Saturday, our stories won't begin until later in the week, giving me an opportunity to catch up on my other duties.

Immigration reform appears stalled in Congress.
And, according to an article in The New York Times on Friday, it's unlikely anything will get passed with an incoming Republican majority.
"Few people expect movement on immigration issues when Congress reconvenes next week in a divided Washington," the New York Times article said. "Republicans, who will control the House of Representatives, do not support an overhaul of immigration laws that President Obama has promised to continue to push. State lawmakers say it has fallen to them to act."
Meanwhile, dairy farmers are left in limbo. Many dairies rely on immigrant labor.
Read "Hispanic labor force has been a boon for farmers." It is written by Al Mertens, a veterinarian with the Waupun Veterinary Service in Waupun, WIs. It appeared as a guest column in The Reporter.

Dairies Left In Limbo On Immigration Reform

The Hispanic workers today are the only workers that are willing to work with livestock and especially dairy cattle. In the past we had many nationalities that loved to work with dairy cattle and even went on to own their own dairies, such as Swiss,Italian,Dutch, and the Portuguese. These undocumented workers have taken on tasks that American workers would ask 10 times the money to do. This is one of the reasons milk is so cheap in California but that alone is not enough to sustain dairy in here. The youg dairy students coming from college are picking jobs as advisors and supervisors that are not out on the farm and are serching for salaries in line with their wants and needs. Documented workers will want better for themselves than undocumented workers that work in the shadow and are scared for their livelhood so they can send money back to their families that they are seperated from.
On behalf of students with under 90 IQ's, I challenge that statement. These kids want to work, schools will send job coaches to teach them the job while they work free for a year or two while learning. Once they graduate and are placed in a job, being American, they have to earn minimum wage. These are the kids who drain the coffers as they apply for benefit after benefit because they can't get work. Ten years ago we placed most of our 60-75 IQ kids in paying jobs, now we are training them for volunteer work and we tell them to apply for disability. Stop the pipeline of job stealing illegal immigrants.

The desserts equaled the entrées in complexity and surprise: We had an intensely creamy white chocolate parfait brightened with Meyer lemon; a vanilla bean cheesecake topped with sour cherries and served in a jar; and roasted strawberries paired with watermelon ice, lime parfait, and edible flowers . Jeremy told me that Deanie's vegan floats (sublime concoctions like the creamsicle sorbet float with hibiscus-beet soda, citrus, and raspberries) are a huge hit with the meat-eating chefs who come to the restaurant. They love them.
Ubuntu's food is to be tasted slowly, remarked on, and tasted again. This is put-your-head-back-and-your-feet-up food, take-your-time-and-close-your-eyes food—and that I understand completely. Did Ubuntu convert me? Did I go home to throw out all my meat-lover's cookbooks and start growing purple radishes in containers in the backyard? No. What Ubuntu did for me was wash away some of the worst of my guilt and fear, and let me begin to contemplate the idea of cooking a meatless meal without embarrassing myself. I find myself thinking in a new way about vegetables—far less puritanical and more adventuresome. When I see something mysterious and leafy at the farmers' market, I don't back away. I reach for it. I experiment—avoiding the almost tasteless plastic-wrapped vegetables in the supermarket and choosing produce that is new and tender and grown just down the road. What Ubuntu showcases is an innovative style of cooking that welcomes experimentation and the fresh taste of vegetables not drenched in sauces or set to the side as an afterthought. This cooking slows the meal down. "Don't hurry," these dishes whisper. "Take your time." This food holds you in place like a good yoga stretch, and lets you feel yourself a part of something larger than appetite. Think about what you are eating and where you are. Realize how unique this peppery radish is, how surprising the contrast between three or four kinds of fresh greens. For someone like me who has always been in a rush, too often late, and far too prone to ignoring what is happening in the moment, it is like a moment of prayer—or a reprise of that old California mantra "Be here now."

Avatars of information: towards an inclusive evolutionary synthesis
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 28, Issue 6, 1 June 2013, Pages 351-358
Étienne Danchin
AbstractFollowing the discovery that inheritance entails the interaction between genetic and nongenetic processes, biology is undergoing a profound mutation. This paradigm shift implies that the model of heredity that is emerging incorporates genetic and nongenetic processes. A way to integrate all forms of inheritance harmoniously is to consider what unifies genetic and nongenetic heredity. Here, I unify all sources of phenotypic variation within the concept of information and its avatars, discuss a major overlooked methodological problem leading to confounding sources of variation (namely the case of the missing heritability), propose new research avenues, and illustrate how putting concepts of information at the heart of evolutionary approaches will affect the emerging Inclusive Evolutionary Synthesis.

Ploidy Controls the Success of Mutators and Nature of Mutations during Budding Yeast Evolution
Current Biology, Volume 16, Issue 16, 22 August 2006, Pages 1581-1590
Dawn A. Thompson, Michael M. Desai and Andrew W. Murray
We used the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to ask how elevated mutation rates affect the evolution of asexual eukaryotic populations. Mismatch repair defective and nonmutator strains were competed during adaptation to four laboratory environments (rich medium, low glucose, high salt, and a nonfermentable carbon source).
In diploids, mutators have an advantage over nonmutators in all conditions, and mutators that win competitions are on average fitter than nonmutator winners. In contrast, haploid mutators have no advantage when competed against haploid nonmutators, and haploid mutator winners are less fit than nonmutator winners. The diploid mutator winners were all superior to their ancestors both in the condition they had adapted to, and in two of the other conditions. This phenotype was due to a mutation or class of mutations that confers a large growth advantage during the respiratory phase of yeast cultures that precedes stationary phase. This generalist mutation(s) was not selected in diploid nonmutator strains or in haploid strains, which adapt primarily by fixing specialist (condition-specific) mutations. In diploid mutators, such mutations also occur, and the majority accumulates after the fixation of the generalist mutation.
We conclude that the advantage of mutators depends on ploidy and that diploid mutators can give rise to beneficial mutations that are inaccessible to nonmutators and haploid mutators.

Populational Heterogeneity vs. Temporal Fluctuation in Escherichia coli Flagellar Motor Switching
Biophysical Journal, Volume 105, Issue 9, 5 November 2013, Pages 2123-2129
Fan Bai, Yong-Suk Che, Nobunori Kami-ike, Qi Ma, Tohru Minamino, Yoshiyuki Sowa and Keiichi Namba
AbstractThe dynamic switching of the bacterial flagellar motor regulates cell motility in bacterial chemotaxis. It has been reported under physiological conditions that the switching bias of the flagellar motor undergoes large temporal fluctuations, which reflects noise propagating in the chemotactic signaling network. On the other hand, nongenetic heterogeneity is also observed in flagellar motor switching, as a large group of switching motors show different switching bias and frequency under the same physiological condition. In this work, we present simultaneous measurement of groups of Escherichia coli flagellar motor switching and compare them to long time recording of single switching motors. Consistent with previous studies, we observed temporal fluctuations in switching bias in long time recording experiments. However, the variability in switching bias at the populational level showed much higher volatility than its temporal fluctuation. These results suggested stable individuality in E. coli motor switching. We speculate that uneven expression of key regulatory proteins with amplification by the ultrasensitive response of the motor can account for the observed populational heterogeneity and temporal fluctuations.

Fighting change with change: adaptive variation in an uncertain world
Lauren Ancel Meyers and James J. Bull
Organisms live in an ever-changing world. Most of evolutionary theory considers one solution to this problem: population-level adaptation. In fact, empirical studies have revealed an enormous variety of mechanisms to cope with environmental fluctuations. Some organisms use behavioral or physiological modifications that leave no permanent trace in the genes of future generations. Others withstand environmental change through the regular production of diverse offspring, in which the diversity can be either genetic or nongenetic. Evolutionary theorists now have the opportunity to catch up with the empirical evolutionary biology, and to integrate the diverse forms of 'adaptive variation' into a single conceptual framework. Here, we propose a classification according to the level at which the adaptive variation occurs and discuss some of the mechanisms underlying the variation. This perspective unites independent lines of research in molecular biology, microbiology, macroevolution, ecology, immunology and neurobiology, and suggests directions for a more comprehensive theory of adaptive variation.

Specialist versus generalist insect herbivores and plant defense
Trends in Plant Science, Volume 17, Issue 5, 1 May 2012, Pages 293-302
Jared G. Ali and Anurag A. Agrawal
AbstractThere has been a long-standing hypothesis that specialist and generalist insects interact with plants in distinct ways. Although many tests exist, they typically compare only one species of each, they sometimes confound specialization and feeding guild, and often do not link chemical or transcriptional measures of the plant to actual resistance. In this review, we synthesize current data on whether specialists and generalists actually differ, with special attention to comparisons of their differential elicitation of plant responses. Although we find few consistencies in plant induction by specialists versus generalists, feeding guilds are predictive of differential plant responses. We outline a novel set of predictions based on current coevolutionary hypotheses and make methodological suggestions for improved comparisons of specialists and generalists.

Unifying concepts and mechanisms in the specificity of plant–enemy interactions
Trends in Plant Science, Volume 17, Issue 5, 1 May 2012, Pages 282-292
Luke G. Barrett and Martin Heil
AbstractHost ranges are commonly quantified to classify herbivores and plant pathogens as either generalists or specialists. Here, we summarize patterns and mechanisms in the interactions of plants with these enemies along different axes of specificity. We highlight the many dimensions within which plant enemies can specify and consider the underlying ecological, evolutionary and molecular mechanisms. Host resistance traits and enemy effectors emerge as central players determining host utilization and thus host range. Finally, we review approaches to studying the causes and consequences of variation in the specificity of plant–enemy interactions. Knowledge of the molecular mechanisms that determine host range is required to understand host shifts, and evolutionary transitions among specialist and generalist strategies, and to predict potential host ranges of pathogens and herbivores.

Erik H. Poelman, Joop J.A. van Loon and Marcel Dicke
AbstractAntagonistic interactions between insect herbivores and plants impose selection on plants to defend themselves against these attackers. Although selection on plant defense traits has typically been studied for pairwise plant–attacker interactions, other community members of plant-based food webs are unavoidably affected by these traits as well. A plant trait might, for example, affect parasitoids and predators feeding on the herbivore. Consequently, defensive plant traits structure the diversity and composition of the complex community associated with the plant, and communities as a whole also feed back to selection on plant traits. Here, we review recent developments in our understanding of how plant defense traits structure insect communities and discuss how molecular mechanisms might drive community-wide effects.

Evolution in invasive plants: implications for biological control
Heinz Müller-Schärer1, , Urs Schaffner1, 2 and Thomas Steinger1
1 Département de Biologie, Unité Ecologie et Evolution, Université de Fribourg, CH-1700 Fribourg, Switzerland
2 CABI Bioscience Centre, CH-2800 Delémont, Switzerland
Evidence is increasing that invasive plants can undergo rapid adaptive evolution during the process of range expansion. Here, we argue that evolutionary change during invasions will also affect plant–antagonist interactions and, thus, will have important implications for biological control programmes targeted at invasive plants. We explore how altered selection in the new range might influence the evolution of plant defence (resistance and tolerance) and life history. The degree to which such evolutionary processes might affect biological control efficacy is largely unexplored. We hope that, by testing the hypotheses that we propose here, a closer link can be established between biological control and evolutionary biology, to the benefit of both disciplines.

Ellen, Lupti, and the world's most infamous lip balm
There was one very obvious, pre-planned product placement involved in the Oscars-the selfie that broke Twitter and gave a Samsung Galaxy the incredible honor of being handled by Bradley Cooper's beautiful hands. But product placement kismet wasn't just limited to the tech giants of the world. When Lupita Nyong'o set down her Oscar to hand Ellen some lip balm from her purse, she rocketed one lucky brand-HydraQuench Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm-to stardom.

Best Phone I've Ever Owned
iPhone 3GS 8GB
Member Name: ZachParsons23
iPhone 3GS 8GB
Date: 10/03/12
Advantages: Nice shape that is perfect for the hand, heat activated touch screen, fast processor.
Disadvantages: Newer Iphones available, if you drop your phone without an otterbox you will most likely crack it.
The Apple Iphone is one of the best phones ever, it looks amazing and performs like no other. I have no problems with any Apple product that i've ever used, I started off with the 1st generation iphone and have fell in love since then. The internal memory, heat activated touch screen, and just over all design is amazing.
Have you ever had a phone that you bought, but after about 5 months the battery starts dying more then usual? Well no more of that if you buy this phone. You don't have to worry about buying memory cards anymore, because the iphone comes in 8gb, 16gb, 32gb, and 64gb.
If you are tired of having to buy a new phone every year, due to the phone wearing down and slowing down...then buy an iphone. I used my 1st generation Iphone until 2011. So they will hold up as long as you can take care of your phone. Even if you drop your phone on accident and say the screen cracks, they are very easy to replace.
I give the Iphone 3GS a rating of 9/10, and that is only because there are some phones out there now that can really perform with dual core processors and that kind of thing. For it's age, it is a great working phone, one that should hold up in time if you just take care of your phone.
Summary: Great phone with a great price.
