Inclement Weather Policy
The decision to close the University because of severe weather or other reasons shall be made by the Chancellor on the recommendation of the Vice Chancellor for Business & Finance. Personnel who have the most direct responsibility for understanding and dealing with weather emergencies will advise the Vice Chancellor for Business & Finance.
Selected positions have been identified, by the appropriate departments, as essential (e.g., police, grounds crew, custodial and HVAC) during times of severe weather, natural or other disasters. Staff holding those positions should be made aware of the essential designation at the time of hiring or upon reassignment to such a position. The individuals in positions specifically identified as essential during severe weather and natural or other disasters will be required to report during those conditions. Unless a position has been specifically identified as essential during a weather closing, the employee should assume their services are not required.
When the University is closed due to severe weather, all regular office/service and managerial/professional personnel scheduled to work will be considered on paid administrative leave (BADW). If an employee is utilizing vacation, sick leave or compensatory time on a day that the University is closed due to severe weather, their leave will be changed to administrative leave (BADW). Temporary personnel are not eligible for administrative pay. Essential office/service and managerial/professional personnel who work during a weather closedown will receive time off (hour for hour) at a later date for the period of time they work. At departmental discretion, regular hourly paid employees may receive additional pay (hour for hour) in lieu of time off.
Although the University is open during periods of adverse weather, supervisors and department chairs may alter work schedules to make allowances for unique travel problems. This means employees must still account for their normal workday by working or taking vacation leave.

Hands-on with the Xbox 360 chatpad
Gamespot's James Yu was able to get some hands-on time with the Xbox 360 chatpad, a clip-on keyboard for the Xbox 360 game controller. Microsoft had first announced the chatpad add-on after the spring '07 dashboard update with MSN Messenger support made it obvious that some sort of texting accessory would eventually be coming our way.
Preliminary testing tells us that the keyboard has a solid feel with buttons that provide ample feedback. The chatpad will not get in the way of your gaming, since your hands rest comfortably on either side of the device.

Heating & Cooling
Save up to $1,150 with rebates from BGE's Smart Energy Savers Program on high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment and services, while improving your home's energy efficiency and comfort. Heating and air conditioning (HVAC) account for up to 50% of the energy you use at home. A properly installed and maintained heating and cooling system can reduce your energy use, improve comfort, and help you save money.
In addition, the Maryland Clean Energy Center offers loans to help cover the cost of certain home improvements.
Choose Your Rebate
- HVAC Equipment: $150-$500
- Geothermal Heat Pumps: $500
- Ductless Mini-Split Systems: $300

10 Tips for Heating & Cooling Efficiently
How to find, select, and work with an HVAC Contractor
Save Even More!
As you consider an investment in new HVAC equipment, you may also want to consider having a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Audit for your home. A certified auditor will use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to perform a comprehensive home energy audit and determine how improvements throughout your home can work together to maximize energy efficiency and savings. Some of these tests may include:
- A blower door test that uses the combination of pressure and airflow measurements to determine your home's air leakage, which contributes to higher energy costs.
- Thermographic camera tests that use infrared images to assess the effectiveness of your home's insulation. Insulation directly impacts a home's comfort and energy efficiency performance.
- Combustion and safety testing to detect carbon monoxide and natural gas leaks.
In some cases a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Audit may identify opportunities to reduce the potential size of your HVAC system, thereby saving you money on the cost of a new system and operating costs.
And if you have a specific issue, like a bedroom that's always too hot or too cold, your contractor will find out why.
In addition to the Home Performance with Energy Star Audit, which costs just $100* (a $400 value) for BGE customers, some of the following simple, energy-saving measures may be installed with your permission:
- 12 compact fluorescent lights (CFLs)
- Four faucet aerators
- Two efficient-flow showerheads
- Pipe insulation (installed on hot and cold pipes from electric water heater)
- Electric water heater tank wrap
To find a participating Home Performance with ENERGY STAR contractor click here.
* The $100 offer is valid for homes up to 3,000 square feet with a single combustion appliance zone. Audits of larger homes or ones with multiple combustion appliance zones may cost more. Customers should discuss the cost with their selected participating contractor.

The Issue: Psychological Effects of Cancer on Families
In 2013, nearly 600,000 Americans are expected to die from cancer, according to data from the American Cancer Society, many of whom will leave behind grieving children. When young parents suffer from life-threatening illnesses, it can put an indescribable strain on the entire family. Financial resources and stress levels both take a serious hit as the family fights the disease together. Traumatic periods such as these make it even more important for families to share fun experiences that create lasting memories for young children who will lose a parent. Taking a family trip together can even improve patients' quality of life by reducing stress and emotional suffering.
The Campaign: Providing Getaways for Families with Cancer
All donations to this Grassroots campaign will be used by Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation to provide memorable experiences for families with a parent suffering from terminal cancer. Every $1,500 raised will provide a WOW! Experience – a four-day getaway – for one family. These experiences include transportation, plane tickets, hotel stays, activities, and meals. Families can travel to a variety of locales including the Caribbean, Colorado, and San Francisco, to help families bond and provide a temporary sense of normalcy.
Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation
After Jill Albert was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she and her husband Jon found that every free moment was consumed with the disease, and that they "needed a break" from it to spend time with their children. After Jill passed away, Jon wanted to help reduce the suffering for other families by helping them create lasting memories together at the end, he explained in an interview with the Today Show. He founded Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation (JAJF) to provide vacations for families with a parent suffering from terminal cancer.
JAJF's WOW Experiences provide a timeout from cancer concerns, giving families opportunities to have fun together for a few days by traveling to destinations across the country including Hawaii, New York, Colorado, and Chicago. JAJF pays for every expense from traveling to and from the airport, plane tickets, activities, meals, and hotel stays. These experiences help reduce stress for patients and their families and create lasting memories that children can cherish once their parent has passed away. JAJF receives referrals directly from a network of 209 oncologists, who prescribe the experience as part of treatment for the family.

Coastal Contacts went so far above and beyond to make this order Just Right that it still amazes me. I dealt with people in a few different countries, and they all worked SO HARD to make things perfect, and it is.
The only drawback was not their fault - my bridge measurement is large, and so very few frames were available for me to order and I had to get a style I don't like very much. But this was not their fault. It's the fault of having a big head!

That's our Grand-puppy!
My sister has two (adorable) children. Being the proud mom that she is, she has pictures of them everywhere! She even has their pictures on her travel mug and at one point she had a diaper bag that held their pictures, That's not to mention her fridge and every bit of available shelf space at her house… I guess that's just what you do when you're a mom.
Well I don't have any children but I do have a baby… He is my dog, Cole. He is a 2 year old cocker spaniel- poodle mix and my husband and I are very proud parents, so naturally we want to show him off. I was so excited when I saw our new Dog PawPrint Desktop Frame. It is just the perfect gift for proud pet owners! I want to get one for my home, and then one for my parents, and my in-laws. (The are very proud of their Grand-Puppy).

Click on the dropdown menu of "Format", and then choose an H.264 encoded format from the numerous output formats provided by Pavtube VC-1 to H.264 converter. If you wanna get HD files, you can choose "HD Video", if you want to get files in SD quality, you can select "Common Video". Here we choose "HD Video"> "H.264 HD Video (*.mp4)" for example. You can Convert Blu-ray M2TS VC-1 Stream to H.264 encoded MKV,MOV,TS,MP4
Step 3: Customize output file quality.
Before VC-1 to H.264 transcoding, you are allowed to click "Settings" tab to adjust video and audio parameters to optimize the output file quality. The adjustable options include codec name, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, and audio channel.
Step 4: Rip/convert bluray VC-1 to H.264 encoded MKV, MP4, MOV, TS.
When the above mentioned 3 steps are done, you can click "Convert" button to start VC-1 to H.264 transcoding. Once the conversion is completed, you can click "Open" button to get the converted files with ease.
Additional info:
How to select subtitle and audio track when processing VC-1 to H.264 transcoding?
Click on the drop-down list of "Subtitle", then all the subtitle info in the bluray will be shown clearly, including language and stream ID, which enables you to select your needed language as subtitles at will.
In addition, Pavtube VC-1 to H.264 converter also offers an option called "Only show forced subtitles", which enables you to see subtitle only when actors are speaking a different language. For instance, if you specify English (your mother tongue) as your subtitle, and meanwhile tick off "Only show force subtitle" option, then when actors are speaking English, no subtitles will show up, but when they are talking with each other in French, the English subtitle will appear accompanying with the French.
To select your desired audio track, just click the pull down menu of "Audio", and then the popup drop-down list will give you the detailed information of all audio tracks, including language, audio codec, and stream ID.
If you wanna backup Blu-ray movies to MKV with multiple audio tracks and subtitles streams included, you can try Pavtube ByteCopy software.

Report Shows Progress of Advanced LNG Technology in Heavy-Duty Trucks
August 10, 2004
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recently released the final report on its evaluation of prototype liquefied natural gas (LNG) waste transfer trucks operated by California's Norcal Waste Systems, Inc. The 12 Class 8 LNG trucks evaluated were equipped with Cummins Westport, Inc., ISXG engines. The ISXG uses the high-pressure direct-injection (HPDI) fuel system, which injects a small amount of diesel into the engine cylinder to provide compression ignition for natural gas fuel.
As part of DOE's Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity, NREL evaluated the prototype trucks over two years of operation and compared them to commercial diesel trucks. The LNG trucks accumulated almost two million miles during the evaluation, with average monthly mileage approaching that of the diesel trucks. The LNG trucks also showed major improvements in fuel economy compared with previous studies of heavy-duty natural gas trucks.
Drivers reported that the performance of the LNG trucks was as good as or better than that of the diesel trucks. For more about the performance, maintenance, and operating costs of the LNG trucks, please read the report, Norcal Prototype LNG Truck Fleet: Final Results (PDF 1.64 MB). DOE, NREL, and California's South Coast Air Quality Management District are exploring further development of the ISXG engine in heavy-duty vehicles.

Definition of osprey in English:
Line breaks: os¦preyPronunciation: /ˈɒspri
, -preɪ/
( plural ospreys)
- A large fish-eating bird of prey with long, narrow wings and a white underside and crown, found throughout the world. Also called fish hawk.
- Pandion haliaetus, the only member of the family Pandionidae
More example sentences- But they're finding it difficult to get research support for their concerns about ospreys and sea eagles.
- The creek also is home to ospreys and great blue herons.
- Among the nearly 200 species found here are thicket tinamou, brown pelican, osprey, king vulture, and laughing gull.
late Middle English: from Old French ospres, apparently based on Latin ossifraga (mentioned by Pliny and identified with the lammergeier), from os 'bone' + frangere 'to break', probably because of the lammergeier's habit of dropping bones from a height to break them and reach the marrow.

Great Rashguard
April 10, 2011
Bought this rashguard for a snorkeling trip. It arrived quickly. The rashguard looks great, feels great, and fits perfectly. Have not use it yet but it feels soft. I usually wear size small, bought the small and it fits perfectly. Would recommend it. If you like it a little loose I would size up. Can't wait to wear it with an upcoming snorkeling trip
Pros: Great design, Cons: CostGreat Purchase
August 07, 2011
This is a fantastic rash guard/cover up. Love the white color as it goes with everything. Great quality--no seams or fabric have frayed even with repeated wear and constant picking up of my one yr old son. The cap sleeve provides just enough protection over the shoulders without feeling weighted down like some longer sleeve versions. Washes well and I like the fit of the x-small. It's not too tight but is fitted to flatter yet not look like you're trying to hide something. I'm a 34-C cup and 110 lbs at 5 ft 6 inches tall. I generally wear a small but wanted this a bit more snug since things stretch a bit more in the water. Perfect over a bikini top when you don't want too much sun or when you want to have a bit more modesty when outside chasing kids in the front yard!
Pros: Great design, Performance, Great valueGreat Swim Top
July 20, 2012
I bought this swim top to avoid sun damage during the intense Summer swimming months. I love it! It feels good on and looks good too. I'm going to buy another or two.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueFinally a rashguard that fits
May 12, 2010
I ordered this rash guard in XS and it fits perfectly. I have struggled to find one that would not "swim" around me in the water. I also really like the cap sleeves. I get protection where I need it and cool water where I don't.
go for the long sleves and don't put in dryer
June 02, 2010
I like it, it works great. I should have ordered it as long sleeve, however, as your arms still get burned. And it shrank when i put it in the dryer. But if you want minimal coverage it is as good as it gets.
Comfortable fit
July 09, 2009
I've only worn the Carve design rash guard a few times but so far it's comfortable and fits well. The only potential issue that I can see is that the design on the front is "crackly" like an iron on and may start to fall off after many uses. I am petite and found the small to be a good fit for me. The chocolate color is more of a milky coffee/ taupe, not the dark brown that I thought it would be, but I still like it.

The Democratic candidate's constituents were adamant that the POTUS would make no moves to restrict guns. Now that the POTUS has nothing to lose, he's going to violate that trust. Here on our local forum numerous Democrats have renounced that party, and have switched to Republican. And after Americans receive their paycheck in a couple of weeks (for those who get paid bi-weekly), I suspect we'll see even more defections. They thought the tax increase would only impact those above their pay grade.

There is no price "gouging" unless the store owner beats you up, takes your money, and leaves you an AR. If you found a shop with PMAGs on sale today for $2.50 how many would you buy? 2? Or 30? How many would everybody else buy? How long would the store's supply last? If demand rises and prices do not, there will be no supply. That's not Economics 101, that's Reality 101. |

A little patience between now and the "Come to ..." sessions on the debt limit in the next 90 days will likely save big $'s, redirecting congressional interest to other, more pressing (IMHO) problems.

I know it can be a bummer, but there is nothing wrong with selling your property at current market value, whether you are a merchant or a private seller. Panic buying has caused relative scarcity of certain items, but it is a free market. No one is forcing you to buy. Just like no one was stopping you from buying the same item 6 months ago for half the price. I don't see anything immoral about any of it. Let's say the gun store owner sold all his current inventory at some "fairer" price. There is nothing to stop the buyers of those items from immediately re-selling them for their current market value. For all those folks who bought a dozen WASR 10s for $400 each last year, good for them.

Going in to McBride's -- big gun store in Austin -- later this week to order an XDs ... salesman didn't seem to think it would take too long, but the Ruger LCR .22 mag may be another story ... I try to shop at local unaffiliated shops, getting a below MSRP price for the gun ... can't wait ...

Twerking is a grown-up activity ... so says Wu Tang Clan co-founder RZA ... who tells TMZ, there should be an age requirement for booty shaking.
RZA was leaving Katsuya with his family last night -- when we asked about the twerk trend taking over the country.
The hip hop legend told us he'd like to see kids hold off on the adult activity and enjoy their childhoods -- telling us, "Don't rush the childhood ... it's the best and shortest part of your life."
Meantime, here's Miley Cyrus ...
Twerking shouldn't be done by anyone. Big deal you can stand on your head and shake your ass. What is the world running out of dance moves that we have to make up stupid sh!t.
Figures the only rappers on planet earth with any brains would be a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. Greatest hip-hop group ever. I applaud Rza for actually having some morality, when 99.999999% of his brethren would have went the complete opposite direction.
I just watched Miley twerking and I have to say that was one of the most stupid things I have ever seen! I see no dance skills required whatsoever to do this....This looks like a dance that people would do when they are stinking drunk & trying to look cool/sexy!! LOL!
Geeze. It's like a little kid, in their PJ's showing off, by dancing for their folks with a video cam. So glad I don't have to deal with anyone in my life that would be foolish enough to do 'that'. Just STUPID
rappers really are talentless, poorly educated idiots.
and has anyone else noticed that miley cyrus simply cannot keep her tongue inside her mouth these days? did she have a stroke? if my tongue was as gigantic as a mud-flap on a semi truck, I would be a bit embarrassed about showing it off every second of every minute of every hour each day. gene simmons probably looks at her tongue and says, "come on...that's disgusting!!" her breath (and tongue) probably smell almost as bad as kim kardashian's butt on a hot summer's afternoon. repugnant!

DEP Launches New Parks Application for Smartphones
TRENTON - The Department of Environmental Protection launched a new mobile phone application to help visitors plan for and make the most out of their trips to New Jersey's state parks, forests and historic sites.
The free Pocket Ranger application provides information on activities, amenities and services directly to users' smartphones, and is part of the Christie Administration's plan to make the park system more self-sustaining while improving visitor services.
The version of the application compatible with Apple iPhones was launched today. The Android- compatible version will be launched in several days. The applications can be downloaded at www.StateParkApps.com
"We are very proud to offer this new service to the public," said DEP Commissioner Bob Martin. "New Jersey's park system is second to none and has been experiencing record numbers of visitors in recent years. This application gets us in step with the times, making it much easier for people to plan their visits to our wonderful parks, forests and historic sites and make decisions about what to see and do once they get there."
With a few taps of the screen, visitors can use their smartphones to find overviews, directions, operating hours and activities available at various sites managed by the DEP's Division of Parks and Forestry. Visitors can also fine-tune their searches by looking for activities that interest them, such as hiking, bicycling, swimming, fishing, boating, canoe rentals or winter activities.
"With a broad tapestry of rolling green hills, forests, beaches, historic villages and battlefields, and vast natural beauty, New Jersey's parks offer exceptional outdoor recreation for the entire family," said Grace Hanlon, Executive Director of the New Jersey Division of Travel and Tourism. "Through this fun and exciting app, our residents and visitors will have another great tool at their fingertips to make their trip even more enjoyable and memorable."
Governor Christie and Commissioner Martin recently released the Administration's long-term strategy for keeping New Jersey's parks open, affordable and even more accessible. The plan establishes a model for parks to generate revenues to make them more self-sustaining while making the park experience more rewarding for millions of visitors by improving visitor services, amenities and activities.
The DEP will receive a portion of advertising revenues generated by the application, which is not costing anything for the department to implement.
"This new ParksByNature application is a first step in the major overhaul and modernization of how we operate and protect our parks," said DEP Chief Project Advisor Lou Valente. "This app will provide immediate benefits to our visitors while providing the DEP with information that we will use to continue to improve the park experience for millions of visitors."
The state park system encompasses 440,000 acres in all 21 counties, and includes more than 50 historic sites, historic battlefields and villages, and 39 active recreation areas with year-round operations. The park system also boasts more than 500 miles of hiking and riding trails and 10 miles of ocean beaches.
Pocket Ranger can help visitors make lodging reservations, has social networking capabilities, and provides an advanced map-caching feature that allows users to continue to navigate even if mobile service is lost. In addition, advanced GPS technology allows hikers to keep track of where they are and how far they've hiked. The same technology enables hunters and anglers to mark favorite hunting spots and fishing holes.
The application also has a Friend Finder feature that allows users to keep track of the location of friends and family. As an added safety feature, Pocket Ranger has an alert feature that notifies select contacts of your GPS coordinates in the event of an emergency.
"Our expectation is for the Pocket Ranger Mobile Tour Guide to encourage a new generation of park goers explore and discover all that New Jersey's state parks have to offer," said ParksByNature co-founder and program coordinator Brett Melillo. "This robust mobile app will not only enhance the visitors' experience, but will also renew overall interest in New Jersey parks and raise the funds needed to preserve and sustain them. It's a win for the state parks and a win for the people of New Jersey."
New Jersey is the ninth state to make the mobile tour guide application available to the public. The others are Pennsylvania, Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Missouri, Rhode Island and South Dakota.

Family: | Rhabditidae |
Genus: | Caenorhabditis |

Binomial name | |
Caenorhabditis elegans (Maupas, 1900)1 |
Caenorhabditis elegans /ˌseɪnɵræbˈdɪtɪs ˈɛlɛɡænz/ is a free-living (non-parasitic), transparent nematode (roundworm), about 1 mm in length,2 that lives in temperate soil environments. The name is a blend of Greek (caeno- - recent, rhabditis - rod-like)3 and Latin (elegans - elegant). In 1900, Maupas initially named it Rhabditides elegans, Osche placed it in the subgenus Caenorhabditis in 1952, and in 1955, Dougherty raised it to the status of genus.4
C.Elegans is an unsegmented pseudocoelomate, and lacks a respiratory and a circulatory system. The majority of these nematodes are female hermaphrodites. Males have specialised tails for mating that include spicules. They possess gut granules which emit a brilliant blue fluorescence and a wave of this is seen at death in a death fluorescence.
In 1974, Sydney Brenner began research into the molecular and developmental biology of C. elegans, which has since been extensively used as a model organism.5
C. elegans was the first multicellular organism to have its whole genome sequenced. And as of 2012, this worm was the only organism to have its connectome (neuronal "wiring diagram") completed.6
C. elegans is unsegmented, vermiform, and bilaterally symmetrical. It has a cuticle, four main epidermal cords, and a fluid-filled pseudocoelom, (body cavity). They also have some of the same organ systems as larger animals. Almost all individuals of C. elegans are female hermaphrodites; and there is a small minority of, around one in a thousand, true males.7 The basic anatomy of C. elegans includes a mouth, pharynx, intestine, gonad, and collagenous cuticle. Like all nematodes they have neither a circulatory nor a respiratory system. The four bands of muscles that run the length of the body are connected to a neural system that allows the muscles to move the animal's body only in the dorsal/ventral direction; hence, any living, moving individual is always on either its left or its right side when observed crossing a horizontal surface.
Males have a single-lobed gonad, a vas deferens, and a tail specialized for mating, which incorporates spicules. Hermaphrodites have two ovaries, oviducts, spermatheca, and a single uterus.
There are numerous gut granules present in the intestine of C. elegans, the functions of which are still not fully known, as are many other aspects of this nematode, despite the many years that it has been studied. These gut granules are found in all of the Rhabdita orders. They are very similar to lysosomes in that they feature an acidic interior and the capacity for endocytosis, but they are considerably larger, reinforcing the view of their being a storage organelle. A remarkable feature of the granules is that when they are looked at under ultraviolet light, they react by emitting an intense blue fluorescence. Another phenomenon seen is termed death fluorescence. As the worms die, a dramatic burst of blue fluorescence is emitted. This death fluorescence typically takes place in an anterior to posterior wave that moves along the intestine, and is seen in both young and old worms, subjected to lethal injury or peacefully dying of old age. There have been many theories on the functions of the gut granules with earlier ones being eliminated by later findings. It is thought that they store zinc as one of their functions. Recent chemical analysis has identified the blue fluorescent material that they contain as a glycosylated form of anthranilic acid (AA). The need for the large amounts of AA that the many gut granules contain is questioned. One possibility is that the AA is anti-bacterial and used in defense of invading pathogens. Another possibility, is that the granules provide photoprotection: the bursts of AA fluorescence entails the conversion of damaging UV light to relatively harmless visible light. There is seen a possible link here to the melanin–containing melanosomes.8
Reproduction and development
The hermaphrodite, which is considered to be a specialized form of self-fertile female because its soma is female whereas its germ line produces male gametes first, lays eggs through its uterus after internal fertilization. Under environmental conditions which are favourable for reproduction, hatched larvae develop through 4 stages or molts, designated as (L1 to L4). When conditions are stressed as in food insufficiency, C. elegans can enter an alternative third larval stage called the dauer state. Dauer is German for permanent. Dauer larvae are stress-resistant and do not age. Hermaphrodites produce all their sperm in the L4 stage (150 sperm per gonadal arm) and then produce only oocytes. The sperm are stored in the same area of the gonad as the oocytes until the first oocyte pushes the sperm into the spermatheca (a chamber wherein the oocytes become fertilized by the sperm).9 The male can inseminate the hermaphrodite, which will preferentially use male sperm (both types of sperm are stored in the spermatheca). When self-inseminated, the wild-type worm will lay approximately 300 eggs. When inseminated by a male, the number of progeny can exceed 1,000. At 20 °C, the laboratory strain of C. elegans has an average life span of approximately two–three weeks and a generation time of approximately four days.
Nematodes have a fixed, genetically determined number of cells, a phenomenon known as eutely. The male C. elegans for example has 1031 cells, a number which does not change after cell division ceases at the end of the larval period. Growth is solely due to an increase in the size of individual cells.10
The different Caenorhabditis species occupy various nutrient and bacteria rich environments. They feed on the bacteria that develop in decaying organic matter. Soil lacks enough organic matter to support self-sustaining populations. C. elegans can survive on a diet of a variety of many kinds of bacteria, but its wild ecology is largely unknown. Most laboratory strains were taken from artificial environments such as gardens and compost piles. More recently, C. elegans has been found to be thriving in other kinds of organic matter, particularly rotting fruit.11 Invertebrates such as millipedes, insects, isopods, and gastropods can transport dauer larvae, to various suitable locations. The larvae have also been seen to feed on their host when it dies.12
Nematodes can survive desiccation, and in C. elegans the mechanism for this capability has been demonstrated to be late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins.13
Research use
In 1963, Sydney Brenner proposed using C. elegans as a model organism for the investigation primarily of neural development in animals. It is one of the simplest organisms with a nervous system. In the hermaphrodite, this system comprises 302 neurons14 the pattern of which, has been comprehensively mapped, in what is known as a connectome, and shown to be a small-world network.15 Research has explored the neural mechanisms that control several behaviors of C. elegans, including chemotaxis, thermotaxis, mechanotransduction, and mating behaviour.16 Brenner also chose it as it is easy to grow in bulk populations, and convenient for genetic analysis.17 It is a multicellular eukaryotic organism that is simple enough to be studied in great detail. Strains are cheap to breed and can be frozen. When subsequently thawed, they remain viable, allowing long-term storage.18
The transparency of C. elegans facilitates studying cellular differentiation and other developmental processes in the intact organism. The morphology of the tail region clearly distinguishes males from hermaphrodites.
The developmental fate of every single somatic cell (959 in the adult hermaphrodite; 1031 in the adult male) has been mapped.1920 These patterns of cell lineage are largely invariant between individuals, whereas in mammals, cell development is more dependent on cellular cues from the embryo..
The first cell divisions of early embryogenesis in C. Elegans are among the best understood examples of asymmetric cell divisions.21
Programmed cell death (apoptosis) eliminates many additional cells (131 in the hermaphrodite, most of which would otherwise become neurons); this "apoptotic predictability" has contributed to the elucidation of some apoptotic genes, mainly through observation of abnormal, apoptosis-surviving nematodes.
RNA interference (RNAi) is a relatively straightforward method of disrupting the function of specific genes. Silencing the function of a gene can sometimes allow a researcher to infer its possible function(s). The nematode can be either soaked in or injected with a solution of double-stranded RNA, the sequence of which complements the sequence of the gene that the researcher wishes to disable; worms can alternatively be fed genetically transformed bacteria that express the double-stranded RNA of interest. Gene loss-of-function experiments in C. elegans are the easiest of all animal models, enabling scientists to establish that approximately 10% of the 20,000 genes in its genome are 'essential', meaning that RNAi knockdown of those genes resulted in "sterility, embryonic or larval lethality, slow post-embryonic growth, or a post-embryonic defect."22
Environmental RNAi uptake is much worse in other species of worm in the Caenorhabditis genus. Although injecting RNA into the body cavity of the animal induces gene silencing in most species, only C. elegans and a few other distantly related nematodes can uptake RNA from the bacteria that they eat for RNAi.23 This ability has been mapped down to a single gene, sid-2, which, when inserted as a transgene in other species, allows them to so uptake RNA for RNAi as C. elegans does.24
Studying meiosis is considerably simplified. As sperm and egg nuclei move down the gonad, so they temporally progress through meiotic events; the difficulties of heterogenous cellular populations are eliminated because every nucleus at a given position in the gonad therefore is at roughly the same step in meiosis.
It can also be used to study nicotine dependence because it exhibits behavioral responses to nicotine that parallel those of mammals; e.g., acute response, tolerance, withdrawal, and sensitization.25
As for most model organisms, scientists that work in the field curate a dedicated online database and the WormBase is that for C. elegans. The WormBase attempts to collate all published information on C. elegans and other related nematodes. Their website has advertised a reward of $4000 for the finder of a new species of closely related nematode.26 Such a discovery would broaden research opportunities with the worm.27
C. elegans has been a model organism for research into ageing; for example - the inhibition of an insulin-like growth factor, signaling pathway has been shown to increase adult lifespan threefold.28 Moreover, extensive research on C. elegans has identified RNA-binding proteins as essential factors during germline and early embryonic development.
C. elegans has five pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. Sex in C. elegans is based on an X0 sex-determination system. Hermaphrodite C. elegans have a matched pair of sex chromosomes (XX); the rare males have only one sex chromosome (X0). The sperm of C. elegans is ameboid, lacking flagella and acrosomes.
C. elegans is notable in animal sleep studies as the most primitive organism to display sleep-like states. In C. elegans, a lethargus phase occurs shortly before each moult.
Spaceflight research
C. elegans made news when specimens were discovered to have survived the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in February 2003.29 Later, in January 2009, live samples of C. elegans from the University of Nottingham were announced to be spending two weeks on the International Space Station that October in a project to explore the effects of zero gravity on muscle development and physiology. The research was primarily about genetic basis of muscle atrophy, which relates to spaceflight or being bed-ridden, geriatric, or diabetic.30 Descendants of the worms aboard Columbia in 2003 were launched into space on Endeavour for the STS-134 mission.31
C. elegans was the first multicellular organism to have its whole genome sequenced. The sequence was published in 199832 although some small gaps were present; the last gap was finished by October 2002. The C. elegans genome is approximately 100 million base pairs long and consists of six chromosomes and a mitochondrial genome. Its gene density is about 1 gene/5kb, (5 kilo-base pairs). Introns, or non-expressed sequences, are 26% of the genome. Some large, intergenic regions contain repetitive DNA sequences. Many genes are arranged in operons, which are polycistronic series that are together transcribed. C. elegans and other nematodes are among the few eukaryotes currently known to have operons; these include trypanosomes, flatworms notably the trematode Schistosoma mansoni, and a primitive chordate tunicate Oikopleura dioica. It is believed that many more organisms will be shown to have these operons.33
The genome contains approximately 20,470 protein-coding genes.34 About 35% of C. elegans genes have human homologs. Remarkably, it has been shown repeatedly that human genes replace their C. elegans homologs when introduced into C. elegans. Conversely, many C. elegans genes can function similarly to mammalian genes.35 The number of known RNA genes in the genome has increased greatly due to the 2006 discovery of a new class of 21U-RNA genes,36 and the genome is now believed to contain more than 16,000 RNA genes, up from as few as 1,300 in 2005.37 Scientific curators continue to appraise the set of known genes: new gene predictions continue to be added and incorrect ones modified or removed.
In 2003, the genome sequence of the related nematode C. briggsae was also determined, allowing researchers to study the comparative genomics of these two organisms.38 The genome sequences of more nematodes from the same genus e.g., C. remanei,39 C. japonica40 and C. brenneri are under study 41 via the whole genome shotgun technique, which is less complete and accurate than the "hierarchical" or clone-by-clone approach that was used on C. elegans.
The official version of the C. elegans genome sequence continues to change as new evidence reveals errors in the original sequencing. Most changes are minor, adding or removing only a few base pairs (bp) of DNA. For example, the WS202 release of WormBase (April 2009) added two base pairs to the genome sequence.42 More extensive changes are sometimes made; e.g., the WS197 release of December 2008, which added a region of over 4,600 bp to the sequence.4344
A few conserved protein sequences in the distantly related sponges more resemble those of humans than of C. elegans.45 An accelerated rate of evolution may therefore have occurred in the C. elegans lineage. The same study found that several phylogenetically ancient genes are absent in C. elegans.
Scientific community
In 2002, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Sydney Brenner, H. Robert Horvitz and John Sulston for their work on the genetics of organ development and programmed cell death in C. elegans. The 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Andrew Fire and Craig C. Mello for their discovery of RNA interference in C. elegans.46 In 2008, Martin Chalfie shared a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on green fluorescent protein; some of the research involved the use of C. elegans.
Many scientists who research C. elegans closely connect to Sydney Brenner, with whom almost all research in this field began in the 1970s; they have worked as either a post-doctoral or a post-graduate researcher in Brenner's lab or in the lab of someone who previously worked with Brenner. Most who worked in his lab later established their own worm research labs, thereby creating a fairly well-documented "lineage" of C. elegans scientists, which was recorded into the WormBase database in some detail at the 2003 International Worm Meeting.
