Public Abstract:
Despite advances in human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research, at the present time cell-renewal and differentiation remains an unsolvable problem. Self-renewal is the ability of hESCs to produce an identical copy of themselves when they divide (self-renew) whereas cell differentiation is the process by which a stem cell becomes specialized in order to perform a specific function such as in the case of a liver cell, a blood cell, or a neuron. Although a large number of genes have been identified that are able to affect the status of cultured hESCs, these cells almost always become various cell lineage of differentiated cells. The cell lineage is the developmental history of individual stem cells from the first specific cell division to their ultimate becoming special cells of tissues and organs. At present it is unclear what accounts for this change of status of hESCs. Recent discoveries that microRNAs (miRNAs) used to be found in eggs were found in hESCs may provide both new insights and new approach to solve this problem. MiRNAs are a form of single-stranded RNA which is typically 21-23 nucleotides long, and is thought to regulate the expression of other genes, therefore, miRNAs are RNA genes which are transcribed from DNA, but are not translated into protein. Our laboratories have recently reported a technology to silence the miRNA in stem cells and observed change of cell division and apoptosis. We believe that this technique can be adapted for investigating the roles of miRNAs in regulations of self-renewal and differentiation of hESCs. At present 36 miRNAs have been identified in hESCs and there is strong and rapidly growing evidence suggesting that the change in miRNA regulation is associated with hESC self-renewal and differentiation. For instance, most of these newly identified miRNAs are specifically expressed in hESCs but down-regulated during the formation of embryoid bodies (EBs). We will determine the function of each of these 36 miRNAs in hESCs using the technology we developed. Since the regulation of self-renewal and differentiation are critical to hESC research, we postulate that our novel approaches may selectively modulate gene function in hESCs, either maintaining consistent self-renewal or causing cell differentiation. The regulation of hESC status by miRNAs could contribute to developing specific cell lineage for specific diseases, leading to the development of diagnostic tools. The outcome of these studies should be a miRNA expression fingerprint leading to development of new tools for potential therapies in various diseases. Indeed, we will be able to use the hESC-specific miRNAs that control genes and microenvironment in the targeting of hESC self-renewal and differentiation to maintain a long-term self-renewal hESC line and to target differentiation along a desired lineage for stem cell based therapies.
Statement of Benefit to California:
The control of self-renewal and differentiation is the current focus on hESC research because a pluripotent stem cell line usually lasts about 5-8 days and the very next step is cell differentiation. If we can control the threshold of entering cell differentiation, we would have the tool to direct the cells into a specific type for replacing or repairing diseases or damaged tissues in patients with specific diseases, including Parkinson's disease, heart disease, diabetes, spinal-cord injury and other conditions. Every year an estimated 15,000 persons suffer spinal cord injuries in the United States. An estimated 500,000 people are currently paralyzed from the waist or neck down, and one million are estimated to have spinal cord-associated deficiencies with less severe implications. Many of these patients are veterans. The results of spinal cord injury can be severe deficits that lead to profound decrease in quality of life for the patient. The population of California is about 12.2% of that of the United States, therefore, about 61,000 Californian citizens are suffering from this disease. The case described above is only one of the diseases that the proposed research will benefit the State of California and its citizens. Although treatments using stem cells are not yet available, the proposed research will lay the foundation leading to potential treatments on other human diseases including Parkinson's Disease, stroke, diabetes, liver disease, heart disease, hemophilia, muscular dystrophy, sickle cell disease and so on because embryonic stem cells are capable of becoming all of the body's various cell types. The proposed experimental technique aims to explore the role of microRNA which would shed new light for novel tools to direct the hESC to become various cells in the body. Certainly, hundreds of thousands or even millions of Californians who suffer from chronic and debilitating diseases would stand to benefit from the proposed research.
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: Thirty six miRNAs have been identified that are expressed in human embryonic stem cells, some of which are down-regulated upon differentiation into embryoid bodies. The functions of these in stem cell self-renewal and differentiation are not known. This application proposes to study the functions of the micro RNA's both by constitutive overexpression in human ES cells (Aim 1) or by knockdown using antisense oligonucleotides (Aim 2). The applicant will determine the effects of these manipulations on cell renewal, differentiation, and apoptosis. SIGNIFICANCE AND INNOVATION: Cell regulation by microRNAs is now appreciated to be of widespread significance. About thirty six micro RNA's have been identified that are expressed in human ES cells, but their functional importance has not been determined. It seems highly likely that these regulatory molecules will play important roles in stem cell biology. STRENGTHS: This proposal addresses a very relevant and potentially field-altering scientific question; the role miRNAs may play in either keeping ES cells in an undifferentiated state or informing ES cells to differentiate into discrete types of tissues. The proposed experiments are well within the capabilities of the laboratories that this proposal would fund. The laboratory of the PI has developed a useful way to misexpress miRNAs. In their system, miRNAs are placed in the intronic region of transcript. Upon transfection, the miRNA is spliced allowing for processing of the miRNA. The unique aspect of this system is that the transfection and processing of the miRNA can be monitored by following GFP expression. WEAKNESSES: Reviewer one: The assays that will be used to study stem cell renewal and differentiation are very poorly described (for example, they simply say that they will look to see whether embryoid bodies are formed). The assays to study apoptosis are not described at all. The superficial description of these assays leaves one very uncertain as to whether useful information about the specific biological functions of these microRNA's will emerge from the proposed studies. A notorious problem with these kinds of experiments is off-target effects. The applicants merely state that they will use RNA profiling to determine if off-target effects are occurring. Not only is this inadequate, but its very hard to understand how microarrays will reveal the presence of off-target effects. The applicants provide no data that knockdown of microRNAs in human ES cells can be achieved by transfection with antisense oligonucleotides. It is well known that the efficacy of this technique is highly variable among different kinds of cells, and therefore evidence of its feasibility in these cells is essential. Reviewer two: A drawback of this proposal is that it is not clear why human ES cells are required to perform the described experiments. The authors note that the miRNAs found in human cells have murine homologues with very similar genomic organization and expression patterns. It would be easier and cheaper to work with mouse or rat ES cells to perform the proposed screen to identify functions for ES cell-specific miRNAs. Once the function of a given miRNA has been determined in mouse or rat, it could then be investigated in detail in hES cells. Since many of the techniques required to perform these experiments are already present in the mouse system, determining the function of ES cell miRNAs could be performed much faster in the mouse system. The author proposes to use microarray analysis to determine target specificity and any "off-target" problems. The idea appears to be that hES cells in which miRNAs have been either misexpressed or removed will be subjected to an array analysis. The array will be used to determine if the introduction (or removal) of miRNAs up-regulates or presumably also down-regulates, genes that are not direct targets. The problem is that no one knows what the complete target list for a given miRNA is. There is also no discussion on how long after transfection cells will be harvested for array analysis. It will be very difficult to identify if the alteration of miRNA levels is caused by off-target effects using arrays. All 36 miRNAs that will be overexpressed in hES cells are already present in this cell population. Since miRNAs have only been reported to downregulate, or in most cases completely abolish gene expression, it is not clear that the overexpression of miRNAs will produce a phenotype (i.e. the targets of these miRNAs are already off in wild type hES cells). The inclusion of a picture of hES cells expressing GFP under the control of the human Oct3/4 promoter demonstrates that these cells are capable of being stably transformed but does not add to the proposal. The investigators cannot use these lines for their proposed experiments since they will use GFP to score for miRNA processing driven from their intronic miRNA expression vector. DISCUSSION: There was no further discussion following the reviewers' comments.

A woman has told police she was attacked at gunpoint walking to the bus, sexually assaulted, and the gunman recorded it on camera.
It happened early one morning this week at West 69th and Denison in Cleveland. The victim tells 19 Action News, "He was taping me. He said turn your head, you'll see a bright light. Don't mind the bright light."
"He was telling me to make sounds, turn my head and make noises," she said.
The victim says the attacker likely has done this before, calling the attack his "hustle."
The case has been assigned to Cleveland Police Sex Crimes investigators.
The woman says she saw an ID for the attacker with the name, Tyrone. Plus, he was a light-skinned black male in his 20's, tattoos up and down his arms, and he drove a gold, older model, mid-sized car.

Downright uptight Dandy Dick gallops into Richmond Theatre
11:40am Sunday 17th June 2012 in Richmond News By Christine Fleming
An uptight reverend and a loose-living sister will take centre stage as the focal characters of a new production of Victorian comedy Dandy Dick, when it opens at Richmond Theatre this month.
The play, written by Arthur Wing Pinero, was composed in 1893 a full two years before Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest and even now, in the newly reproduced Theatre Royal Brighton production, there are echoes of the social tensions that were present at the time of both plays creation.
Nicholas Le Provost, the star role of the uptight Right Reverend Augustin Jedd, who has a puritanical distaste for gambling until being led astray, said rehearsing for the play had made him realise how enlightened we are today.
He said: "It's difficult to imagine what it was like when doors were more closed, how difficult it was to go out on a limb and poke fun at the church. We have to put on a pair of glasses to view the Victorian era."
In Dandy Dick, Le Provost's character ends up fighting his conscious to gamble all his savings on his wild-child sister Georgiana's racehorse, so he can raise money for a new church steeple and causes chaos and comedy along the way.
Le Provost added: "It [the Victorian era] was an incredibly close, human, animal existence, and people like the Dean did everything they could to separate themselves from that. Pinero exposes the hypocrisy of the church. He turns society on its head."
Dandy Dick, Richmond Theatre, The Green, Richmond, July 10 to July 14, evenings and matinees, tickets from £15, atgtickets.com or 0844 8717651.

OPD and CHP Sideshow / Street Racing PSA Video Recognized by State Government Website - On Friday, July 25, 2014, the Oakland Police Department learned that a public safety address (PSA) created by OPD Public Information Officer Johnna Watson and California Highway Patrol Officer Sean Wilkenfeld had been placed on the State of California website (ca.gov). The selection of the PSA for posting on a statewide forum indicates that information regarding sideshows and street racing is pertinent to a vast audience. On the video, Officers Watson and Wilkenfeld speak plainly about the negatives associated with sideshow activity and street racing: endangering participants, bystanders and other motorists; attracting other criminal activities; and, for those who are caught participating in sideshows, losing your car (it will be towed) and going to jail. The video can be seen on the ca.gov website ("Latest Videos") or pulled up directly on youtube.
"What Does It Take to Be a Cop in Oakland?" – A Great Story on Local Public Radio - KALW radio reporter Kyung Jin Lee interviewed new and veteran officers on what it takes to be a cop in Oakland. The story is very positive about the Oakland Police Department. The 9-minute audio interview can be heard on KALW 91.7 FM. (It is recommended that you use Google Chrome or Firefox rather than Explorer to pull up the link).
The Blotter
OPD Conducts Liquor Store Compliance Check; Discovers Illegal Sale of Marijuana – On Wednesday, August 27 at 12:00 PM, Oakland Police officers assigned to the Alcoholic Beverage Action Team (ABAT) conducted a routine inspection of Mew's Market at 922 105th Avenue and discovered evidence of illegal sales of marijuana. The officers recovered approximately a pound of marijuana, a scale and packaging material, and over three thousand dollars in cash. The employee was arrested.
OPD and U.S. Postal Agents Serve Search Warrant – On Tuesday, August 26, 2014 at 4:44 PM, Oakland Police Area 5 Crime Reduction Team (CRT-5) officers assisted U.S. Postal agents on a search warrant that was served in the 1900 block of Auseon Avenue. The search team recovered an illegally possessed assault rifle, heroin, marijuana, a scale and packaging material. One male adult was arrested.
Gunshot Call Leads to Arrest – On Friday, August 22, 2014 at 7:26 PM, Oakland Police officers responded to the 1500 block of 80th Avenue to investigate a gunshot call. Upon arrival, the officers saw a man who matched the description provided by a caller. The officers were able to arrest the man and recovered an illegally possessed firearm. Officers additionally recovered narcotics.
Teamwork Results in an Arrest - On August 26, 2014 at 11:50 AM, Oakland Police officers were flagged down at Broadway and 14th Street by a downtown Safety Ambassador who reported that an auto burglary had just occurred. The suspect was observed breaking into a car and fleeing with a laptop to the 12th Street BART station. OPD and BART PD coordinated efforts, located and arrested the suspect for the burglary, and recovered the laptop.
The teamwork among local law enforcement and our Safety Ambassadors, as well as witnesses who were willing to become involved and positively identified the suspect, made a difference in this case.
Two Arrested for Weapons Violation, Drugs - On August 26, 2014, at 1:52 PM, Oakland Police officers conducted a traffic enforcement stop for several vehicle code violations at the intersection of Krause and 73rd avenues. At the time of the stop, the officers observed one of the occupants attempt to conceal a firearm. Upon further investigation, the officers recovered an illegally possessed, loaded handgun along with heroin, prescription narcotics, and marijuana. Both the driver and passenger were arrested and an illegally possessed firearm has been removed from our community.
Barricaded Suspect Safely Arrested - On August 24, 2014, at approximately 9:17 PM, Oakland Police officers responded to the intersection of Chambers Lane and Colton Boulevard on a report of a residential burglary in progress involving three suspects. Upon arrival, officers saw a vehicle attempting to flee the scene and were able to arrest the adult male driver. The officers observed a second suspect fleeing the residence on foot and were able to arrest him in an adjoining backyard. The third suspect barricaded herself inside the residence. The OPD Tactical Hostage Negotiating Team was able to establish communications with her and at 11:15 the following morning she was safely taken into custody.
OPD Arrests Four Robbery Suspects – On August 14, 2014 at 9:00 AM, Oakland Police officers responded to a report of a strong arm robbery that occurred in the 6000 block of Majestic Avenue. The victim reported that she was approached by two suspects who demanded her purse and then escaped in a waiting vehicle. Officers were able to locate the suspect vehicle in the 9000 block of Coral Road. Officers arrested a total of four suspects. The victim's loss was recovered. Preliminary investigation revealed the suspects may be connected to additional robberies.
Detailed descriptions provided by the victim and witnesses assisted officers in locating and arresting the persons responsible for this crime. We thank our community for their continued support and assistance in helping us reduce crime.
Two Arrested for Armed Robbery – On August 17, 2014 at 8:45 PM, Oakland Police officers were dispatched to the 400 block of 37th Street to investigate an armed robbery. A total of five victims reported that while they were in front of a residence, they were approached by several suspects; one was armed with a handgun and demanded their belongings. The suspects fled on foot with the loss. Witnesses and victims provided descriptions of the suspects and the direction they had fled. Officers searched the area and were able to locate and arrest two male suspects in the area of 46th and Market streets.
This investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact the Oakland Police Department Robbery and Burglary Unit at (510) 238-3326.

The U.S. National Security Agency has reportedly been working for the past several years on expanding its ability to infect computers with surveillance malware and creating a command-and-control infrastructure capable of managing millions of compromised systems at a time.
According to media reports last year based on secret documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, the NSA had deployed over 50,000 CNE (Computer Network Exploitation) "implants" -- surveillance malware installed on computers and networking devices -- around the world, and their number was expected to reach 85,000 by the end of 2013.
[ Cut to the key news for technology development and IT management with the InfoWorld Daily newsletter, our summary of the top tech happenings. ]
However, the agency has also been working on building a better command-and-control infrastructure codenamed TURBINE that, according to a 2009 top-secret NSA presentation leaked by Snowden, would "allow the current implant network to scale to large size (millions of implants) by creating a system that does automated control [of] implants by groups instead of individually," news website The Intercept reported Wednesday
The leaked document reveals that TURBINE was supposed to include an "Expert System" capable of managing malware implants with limited or no human input. The NSA described the system as "a brain" that would automatically decide which tools should be provided to a given implant and how the implant should be used based on preset rules.
This system is needed because "one of the greatest challenges for Active SIGINT/attack is scale," the presentation says. "Human 'drivers' limit ability for large-scale exploitation (humans tend to operate within their own environment, not taking into account the bigger picture)."
The implants, which are described in other NSA documents leaked by Snowden, are tailored for specific surveillance tasks or act as malware frameworks that have a modular architecture and support a variety of additional plug-ins to enable different surveillance capabilities.
For example, a plug-in codenamed GROK can log keystrokes. Another, called SALVAGERABBIT, can copy data from removable storage devices connected to a computer. Other plug-ins include CAPTIVATEDAUDIENCE, which can use the computer's microphone to record nearby conversations, and GUMFISH, which can take over the computer's webcam, The Intercept reported.
This design is similar to that observed by security researchers in sophisticated threats like Stuxnet, Flame, The Mask, Red October and others that have been discovered and analyzed in recent years and which are suspected of having been created or sponsored by nation states.
The NSA distributes its implants by using man-in-the-middle and man-on-the-side techniques that route targeted users trying to access legitimate websites to attack servers under NSA control. The agency then exploits vulnerabilities in browsers and other software like Java and Flash Player to deploy the malware, The Intercept reported.
"If we can get the target to visit us in some sort of web browser, we can probably own them," an NSA hacker wrote in one of the leaked documents, according to The Intercept. "The only limitation is the 'how'."

As an internet-marketer-turned-hotel-manager, I'm witnessing so many things that need to be changed. Too many hospitality companies are missing out on great internet advertising and marketing opportunities. Many other hospitality companies are being taken advantage of by a few internet companies charging exorbitant fees or services that are normally cheap, or even free.
I created TheHospitalityGeek.com toeducate the hospitality industry and help hotels and restaurants be more success and effective by using social media and internet advertising. I also want to help small and medium web developers connect with hotels and restaurants, creating more honest competition for the large companies that currently take advantage of the hospitality industry.

The Atlantic Lobster Sustainability Foundation (ALSF) and University of Maine Lobster Institute will co-host the third annual Science Workshop on Sustainable Growth of the Atlantic Lobster on July 23–24 in Moncton, New Brunswick.
The purpose of the workshop is to inform stakeholders about lobster research at home and abroad and to map the way to support lobster sustainability through science.
"In 2011 and 2012, stakeholders from all sectors of the lobster fishery — fishermen, processors, buyers — participated in this workshop," says Rick Doucet, ALSF executive director. "The conference is a great opportunity to bring those who work on the water, in processing plants or as buyers, together with leading researchers to ensure a vital and sustainable lobster industry."
Since 1987, the University of Maine Lobster Institute has been working with and serving the lobster industry from New York to Newfoundland.
"The Lobster Institute is very pleased to be forging a stronger bond with the Atlantic Lobster Sustainability Foundation and co-hosting this year's science workshop," says Bob Bayer, executive director of the Lobster Institute. "Our missions are very similar. Both focus on sustaining the lobster resource that is the centerpiece of an economically significant cross-border industry."

Allied News
A Grove City woman has made two touchdowns against breast cancer – which was celebrated at the Pittsburgh Steelers game on Sunday, Oct. 20.
Kathy Dittrich, 66, was one of eight women who represented the National Football League's/American Cancer Society's "A Crucial Catch" game at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, where the Steelers defeated the Baltimore Ravens.
"A Crucial Catch" brings attention to annual breast cancer screenings for women age 40 and over. Dittrich, who volunteers with the Society's Mercer County chapter, was picked from a drawing she entered that was held by the national Society.
More than 15 other women represented at "A Crucial Catch" for UPMC and Magee Women's Hospital in Pittsburgh, she added.
"I was excited I won something," she said. "Then I thought, 'I don't know if I want to do this.' " However, the women's names were not announced at the game.
"We went down in the line and got a Steelers shirt with pink ribbons and lettering and that's what we wore on the field," Dittrich noted.
They also gave the women a pink Terrible Towel to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month, celebrated in October.
While the Steelers practiced, the announcers called the women to the field, where Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin and Pittsburgh Pirates Coach Clint Hurdle "shook hands and said 'congratulations,' " Dittrich said.
Pirates player Andrew McCutcheon also shook hands with the survivors and Steelers player Ryan Clark walked up to a few of the women before they left the field and said, "'I need some lovin','" she added, and he gave them a hug.
The ladies were given boxed lunches during the event and a nice view of the game "not far from the goal post," Dittrich said. Her husband Ted Dittrich, 77, enjoyed the day with her.
The last time she saw a live Steelers game "was when Terry Bradshaw played," she said. "It was very nice."
It was also very nice "Talking to other cancer survivors," Dittrich added. "I think it helped."
A mammogram in 2003 showed Dittrich had a mass in her right breast "the size of a piece of salt," she said. She initially had a lumpectomy, but her oncologist at Magee recommended a mastectomy.
"I was shocked but I was OK. I prepared myself," she said, until stage 2 cancer showed on a mammogram of her left breast eight months later when Dittrich was in the process of getting reconstructive surgery on the right one.
"I had a hard time accepting it. I did everything I was supposed to do (the first time)," she said. The oncologist said she didn't have to have a mastectomy the second time, but she opted for it – and the reconstruction – again.
"I said I wouldn't go through this again every year," Dittrich said. "Mastectomies saved me from radiation and chemo."
Between the biopsies, lumpectomy, mastectomies and reconstruction, she had eight surgeries in 14 months from August 2003 to December 2004.
Biopsies show that the cancers were related to Dittrich taking estrogen replacement therapy for menopause, she said.
"My oncologist said I had too much estrogen in my body," Dittrich said. My gynecologist was so upset. He said 'These drug companies say it's not harmful, what's a doctor supposed to do?' The thing about it people don't realize is soy is a natural estrogen."
Current statistics show that one out of eight women get breast cancer. However, Dittrich was told by a doctor at Magee that "someone taking estrogen will raise that to 1 out of 3," she said.
That same doctor told her to continue the estrogen "'if it helps you through menopause,'" she quoted him. "That was in 2003. I'm sure a lot of things have changed."
There is no breast cancer in Dittrich's family. Coming on 10 years of being cancer free, "I have to say it's changed my life," she said.
In the past three years, the Mercer County Cancer Society chapter has called Dittrich to help women get through a mastectomy. The majority of them are in their 50s, but some are younger, she said.
She was asked to help when she first got cancer "But I couldn't accept the cancer, so how could I help anyone else?" Dittrich said. "When I got it eight months later, I was really down. I was wondering where else it was in my body."
The biggest issue for women is feeling they will lose their femininity if they lose their breasts.
At the Steelers game a young breast cancer survivor kept saying, "I'm boob-less. I'm boob-less," Dittrich said. "Even at this age, I can never go without them. ... I wouldn't look badly on anyone who wouldn't, but it helped my self esteem. I am still a good person even without breasts."
Dittrich developed an auto immune disorder from her first silicone breast implants, which she believes disappeared when she had them replaced with saline.
Many women don't want to go through the reconstructive surgery, she said.
She noted that her husband "wouldn't care" if she didn't have them, either. "He's just glad I'm here," Dittrich said. They have two grown children in their 40s.
The grandmother of six retired last year after working for Dick Stevenson for 23 years; first when he was an appraiser in Grove City and then a state representative.
In Pittsburgh for years Dittrich took part in the Susan G. Komen walk to fight breast cancer. "I met one woman with stage 4 cancer. They said she had a year to live and she survived 20 years," she said. "They have so much more knowledge now than then. Don't ever give up."
Dittrich is also an advocate of annual mammograms.
In her cancer ordeal, she found her strength in faith.
"The first time I had cancer, and even the second, people said they prayed for me at church," she said. "I have to say that's what got me through. It gave me strength. I believe in prayer."

Gluten is probably one of the most ubiquitous proteins in food manufacturing and production. It may be found in cereals, baked products, wines and some condiments.The formation of gluten from milled products of wheat during dough formation makes wheat an irreplaceable raw material in the production of many food items, the most important of which is in baking. When dough made with wheat flour is kneaded, gluten forms, which contributes to the viscosity and ability of the mixture to extend,stretch, or rise (swell), once a leavening agent is present.

Maine's Beech trees have been under attack for decades by beech bark disease that typically appears as disfiguring cankers on a tree species that's supposed to have a smooth and silvery bark. Affected trees grow slowly and can survive for years. But the diseased beech produce few beechnuts, a loss of an important food source for the Maine black bear.
According to University of Maine researcher William Livingston of the School of Forest Resources, warmer winter temperatures from 1999 to 2002 allowed populations of the invasive, bark-feeding scale insect to explode and incite a more lethal stage of the disease. Insect feeding and the severe drought at that time weakened the trees' resistance to fungal infection, and many trees died, including those along the Quebec border that were previously unaffected by the disease.
Livingston and Matthew Kasson, a former UMaine graduate student now at Pennsylvania State University, reached these conclusions after sampling hundreds of trees in the affected area. After 2002, typical sub-zero winter temperatures and normal summer rains returned, and the scale populations disappeared. However, the damage was done and beech died from 2003 to 2005, say Livingston and Kasson, who published their findings in the journal Forest Pathology.

Tour de Flex – New LiveCycle Data Services 3.1 Samples
by Dave on Apr.04, 2011, under Actual RIA info, Adobe Flex, Coolness, LCDS, Tour de Flex
I had the distinct pleasure of building some new LCDS 3.1 samples for Tour de Flex recently which just went live. For each sample, I thought it would be helpful to elaborate on each one a little bit more to help give ideas about what the new features can do for your applications.
For the data throttling and reliable messaging samples, there is a Java class that iterates a number and pushes it out to an LCDS destination the samples subscribe to. The reason for this is to simulate constant incoming messages to Flex. The iterated number itself goes on for a few minutes and restarts at 0 so you can see the order the messages come in.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

We talk to a Nigerian woman who's written songs about her experience of racism in Ireland; Opthalmogist Michael O'Keefe tells us about the latest developments in laser eye technology and we hear about plans for a new currency which we would be able to use in space...

Apart from enormous range of over-the-counter drugs and treatments available for everyday illnesses, the things that modern surgery can do these days are simply mind blowing.
In January of this year, our very own Katriona McFadden caught up with Professor Michael O'Keefe, an ophthalmologist at the cutting edge of laser treatments for the eyes.
Now, it's one thing examining the eyes of an adult like you or me. But examining the eyes of a child must be a real challenge.
Prof Michael O'Keefe has come into studio to tell us about the latest developments in his remarkable world!
Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

A Buckner family thought it was an earthquake when a tree came crashing down on top of their cars.
The owners said that the tree had been dead for quite some time, and it was only a matter of time before it would fall. What they didn't expect was that it would cause so much damage and crush two of their vehicles.
Even up close, it is hard to comprehend the damage caused by the 80-year-old maple tree, downed not by a strong wind but by its own dead weight.
Adam Schanuch and his grandmother could barely navigate the limbs and leaves now covering their yard. Schanuch was inside working on his computer when he heard the crash.
"I'm like, 'Holy cow. I'm actually alive after that.' I would have been squashed," Schanuch said.
Caught in the crunch were his grandfather's Ford F-150 and Toyota Tercel.
Schanuch called his grandmother, who was out shopping, to prepare her for what she was about to see. It didn't work.
"I come home and pulled in our driveway, and I just about crapped," Kay Hamlin said.
Hamlin said the tree grew on her neighbor's property, and he neglected it. Even though she and her husband had some of the limbs that hung near her home trimmed, she lived in fear of the tree.
"And I would go to bed at night when it stormed, scared to death that tree would come down," she said. "I thank God it is down and nobody got hurt, and my house wasn't injured."
The family said that they are still waiting to get estimates on the damage to their cars. They have also hired an attorney to see if the neighbor who failed to cut down the tree could be held responsible.

Olympia Le-Tan And Her Spector Spectacular-------
"I don't like just putting one thing out there. It always has to be a little world," Olympia Le-Tan tells Style.com. For Spring 2013 (her second RTW presentation after the handbag designer expanded her offerings last season), she created a world around a record cover clutch: "Black music, jazz, blues, soul, the wall of sound, sixties girl bands—I suppose it originated from my love for that type of music," she explains of the inspiration behind the collection she unveiled in Paris earlier this month at the Théâtre de la Madeleine. She brought that world to life with her quirky but sexy clothes and an all-out show, featuring a performance by Ronnie Spector singing "Be My Baby." It's a rare runway show that puts a smile on editors' faces, but Le-Tan and her cast of dancers did just that. "I just want to make nice clothes that are fun but also flattering and wearable, and I want to enjoy myself while making them and finding original ways to present them. I just love it when people leave my shows smiling; it makes me happy." Here, watch the whole thing exclusively on Style.com. We can almost guarantee it will make your Monday brighter.

Global Agenda Council on Institutional Governance Systems 2012-2014
The challenge
International organizations are essential yet polarizing actors in today's multidimensional and multistakeholder world. Their missions range from improving global health and defining trade policies to preventing wars and rebuilding societies. They are called on to solve some of the world's most entrenched issues – what Kofi Annan has called "problems without passports". Throughout their history, international organizations have been criticized for being ineffective and slow to react and lacking in power. There is some merit to the criticisms, but much of the problem stems from the lack of transparency regarding their strategies, the impact of their work and their methods for self-evaluation. Without sufficient accountability, international organizations risk coming under increased criticism and scrutiny. They could find themselves spending more time defending their existence than focusing on their mission.
What the Council is doing about it
The Global Agenda Council on Institutional Governance Systems seeks to open up the discussion on accountability and raise its profile among international organizations. It is working on a "state of accountability" index covering leading international organizations, which would highlight their current accountability status. The Council will also produce a report addressing the importance of institutional and practical accountability, including the accountability of an organization's leader.
The Council has been working with external researchers to gather the information needed to produce the index and the report, and to build a solid methodological base for this work. Once the work has been finalized, the Council intends to conduct workshops with international organizations to gain their feedback and support. The focus will be on highlighting some innovations in the governance of international organizations as well as in multistakeholder partnerships globally.
"Without sufficient accountability, international organizations risk coming under increased criticism and scrutiny. They could find themselves spending more time defending their existence than focusing on their mission."
Ideally, the Council will encourage a larger public debate on the topic and persuade international organizations to support and encourage greater transparency in their functioning and leadership.

Bee Thinking offers a number of honey bee-related services to the Portland Metropolitan Area, including:
Sign up for Beekeeping Classes in Portland
Call 877-325-2221 for swarm removal!
We offer swarm removal from your trees, mailboxes, cars, fences or other places those daunting clumps of bees decide to rest.
A swarm of honey bees generally land on tree branches 5-20 feet off the ground and form clumps ranging from baseball to football sizes. They usually arrive in the early afternoon and can stay from an hour to a few days. They should not be considered dangerous, and please do not spray any insecticides, water or bother the swarm in any way. Call us and we'll remove them and give the bees a good home pollinating our city!
Click here for more information on Bee Swarm Removal in Portland
Hive removal from structures, walls, chimneys, trees or any other cavity in which honey bees may inhabit.
Honey bees commonly take up residence in cavities in areas inhabited by humans, a startling and potentially dangerous find for the homeowner! They tend to prefer entrances 10 or more feet above ground, and cavities that are dry and protected from the wind – thus making walls the ideal home in their mind!
If you find what you think may be a honey bee colony on your property, please give us a call and we'll first discuss it with you over the phone to verify that it is an actual honey bee colony (Many of the calls we receive are actually yellow jackets, wasps, hornets or bumble bees.). Once we verify that it is a honey bee colony we will get you in touch with someone who can assist with the removal.
Specializing in foundationless (Horizontal top bar, Warre and foundationless Langstroth hives), we provide assistance to beekeepers new and old who are just getting started with Top Bar, Warre or other foundationless hives where the local bee associations and much of the local bee community is unwilling. If you need assistance with your hive, give us a call or shoot us an e-mail and we'll discuss the options.

The Bee Thinking team travels the world to speak and present at beekeeping events. If you'd like to schedule an event, check out the Speaking and Events page.

You have to grab the incoming POST data and refill the form, can't do it with Javascript as far as I know. If you were sending the form using a GET you could but sending form data, especially text areas, via a GET can be very problematic.
Feb 22, 2011, 19:40 #3
if i were to do that would the data saved be unique for each user of the site, also can i assign the value a variable and then after the submit rewrite the variable in the textbox (though i don't know if that would be unique per user).

You need to save the information that you want to view on returning to the form page. This can be done in several ways.
1: transfer the data string in the search component of the outging and incoming
URL ...?abcde. You can then retrieve it when the incoming page loads.
2: make your form page part of a frameset with the left column of the frameset hidden. You do this with cols="*,100%". The form page then fills the viewport completely but you can still save info to the hidden column. This is available as soon as the main page is re-loaded into the other part of the frameset.
3: Store the info in a cookie. Some people may have cookies turned off.
Once the incoming page is loaded you can take the saved data and re-populate the form.

An experienced collegiate and professional football coach, Ted Daisher (pronounced DASHER) brings a wealth of knowledge to the UMass secondary as the safeties coach. Daisher has coached football since 1978 at all levels, including six years in the National Football League and one year in the United Football League. Entering his second season with the program, Daisher will serve as the inside linebackers coach while also taking on the roll of special teams coordinator.
During his first campaign with the Minutemen in 2012, Daisher helped produce an All-MAC and Phil Steele Magazine All-Conference standout in free safety Darren Thellen, who finished the campaign with the second-most tackles (79) on the squad to go with grabbing a pair of interceptions and defending five passes overall. Daisher also guided and developed a core of young, talented players in first-year Minutemen Joey Colton and Khary Bailey-Smith alongside redshirt-sophomore Ed Saint-Vil. Daisher's group hauled in eight interceptions to help UMass finish with the fourth-most in the 13-team Mid-American Conference on the year.
In 2011, Daisher coached at Bryant serving as the defensive backs coach following his seven years working in professional football. While in the professional ranks, he worked on the staffs of the Philadelphia Eagles (2004-05 & 2009), the Oakland Raiders (2006), the Cleveland Browns (2007-08) and the Hartford Colonials (2010, UFL). During his first stint with the Eagles, he worked as the special teams quality control coach and assistant defensive line coach for Andy Reid's squad that reached the Super Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla.
At the collegiate level, the Michigan native has spent time at Illinois, Northern Illinois, Eastern Michigan, Cincinnati, Army, Indiana, and East Carolina. He helped Northern Illinois win the MAC Championship in 1983 and the California Bowl. He repeated those wins in 1987 with Eastern Michigan. In 2001, he served with East Carolina as the Pirates played in the GMAC Bowl.
Daisher graduated from Western Michigan where he was a letterwinner from 1975-77 as a wide receiver and defensive back. He and his wife Danielle have three children: Nicole, Ted and Taylor.
