The caretaker of the Shiu Temple in Narewa, Nadi holds back his emotions as he inspects the religious statues that were burnt early yesterday morning.
A TEMPLE built by indentured labourers was destroyed by a fire early yesterday morning.
Members of the Kendrit Shiri Sanatan Dharam Shiv Temple in Narewa, Nadi were yesterday filled with grief as their place of worship was reduced to ashes.
Divisional Police Commander Western Senior Superintendent Fesaitu Kava said investigations were continuing and they had not ruled out foul play.
SSP Kava said they were exploring all avenues until the cause of the fire was established.
Temple committee member Hemant Sanjivi said the fire had destroyed a part of their history.
Mr Sanjivi said the 97-year-old temple was very close to all Hindus because it was one of the few remaining temples that were actually built by their ancestors during the indentured labour period.
He said people from all over Fiji who travelled to Nadi usually paid a visit to the temple that was always kept open.
Adamant that it was a case of arson, Mr Sanjivi said followers were already preparing for the cleansing ceremony before moving ahead with rebuilding plans.
"The only thing that we can do now is cleanse the place, ask for the forgiveness on those that carried out such a heinous act and move on," he said.
"It is a sad day for all Hindus in Fiji because we have lost part of our history," said Mr Sanjivi.
He said they were also concerned because the temple was located inside the property of Nadi Primary School that has been burgled on numerous occasions with the most recent being two weeks ago.
Mr Sanjivi said fortunately, the fire did not spread to the school buildings.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Orchard Hotel
okfrom A TripAdvisor Member
s OK...from A TripAdvisor Member
It was very noisy when we stayed there - they were renovating (this was not mentioned on their website at the time). We were out of our rooms most of the time otherwise it would have been unbearable. They even changed the hallway carpets one morning and I was shocked when I opened the door to discover the cloud of dust that surrounded it. They really should not do this with guests around! Other than that the buffet is OK, staff is not that friendly. The location is good (in Orchard Road) and the price is alright as well. I have stayed in many hotels in Singapore from budget to 5-star and the Orchard Hotel just rates average for me. It was just OK! I think this is an ideal hotel for a business traveller but not so suited for families.
Orchard Wing is Nicefrom wallyQ
- Comfortable sized rooms
- Modern interiors
- Flat Panel TV
- Nice Bathroom
- Ok Bed
- Poor Sound Proofing
- Bad Service at Reception
- Location is at the far end of Orchard Road
- Rooms at the old wing are not nice
- Outdated furnishings
- Bed looks uncomfortable
- They assigned me a room at the old wing and they told to me that all the rooms at the Orchard wing were occupied. I had to complain after seeing how old the rooms were. They ended up giving me a room at the orchard wing the same night. (Don't trust them when they say its fully occupied)
Very Unpleasantfrom ihoon
Surely We Cant Afford This???from Matthudski
We booked trought an australian Travel Agent as we were visiting on the way back from Sydney for two days.
When the Taxi arrived, My partner and I looked at each other and said, there must be some mistake, we cannot afford to stay here... There must be two Orchard Hotels in Singapore. Turns out not.
Gold everywhere, really nice Doormen, very nice entrace and lobby.
It was fabulous, rooms where really up to date and hotel was placed nicely for shopping. We paid about £50 which would get a single bed in a dump in London!
We would stay here again diffinately.
Well located for shopping. Check-in and out time are not confortablefrom darwinsail
The cons are that the windows do not open and the sound isolations between rooms are very bad: I can here all the next door noises.
The meeting rooms are very nice, everything works fine, and the health breaks have fruits and all other choices of the regular coffee-breaks.
The personnel of the Hotel are nice, but you may wait until 3 to have a room (after 24 hours flying and arriving at 7:40 am it is very bad). There is no chance for more than 1 hour late check-out but paying half of the regular room to stay until 6 pm, after that full payment is required (as flights are at mid-night it is also too bad).
Would stay there againfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The hotel is at the start of all the Orchard Road shops. Very near to many western restaurants, which we enjoyed because we are Americans living in Asia. Taxis are easy to get, but we did a lot of walking.
Breakfast was good - Asian and western. So much food that you could skip lunch!
The internet connection was slow. They could improve that greatly. It was easy to buy minutes, but you had to use them all in one session.
Overall - good hotel. Would stay there again.
lovely hotelfrom A TripAdvisor Member
my room was lovely and the staff were so helpful - the hotel was apparently having some work done but with such discretion that i never noticed.
the food too was great- especially breakfast.
also, i found, quite to my suprise tahat it was just as cheap to make an international phonecall from my room as from a phonebooth- something of a first!
i'd happily go back and stay.
Expensive and slow in-room internetfrom fluffy_pancke
This hotel has wifi in certain areas and wired ports in all the rooms. The hotel has two internet price packages: by the minute or day-rate. The minute rate is $.50 (Singapore Dollars) and the day is $28 (Sing dollars). Not cheap but in-line with the other hotels in Singapore. My biggest disappointment was with the speed- the login page listed it as 256kb/s up/down but in usage it was much slower and felt like dial-up.
Be warned if you like your internet fast and hot, this ain't the place to stay.
Excellent hotel!from RebeccaG
Great hotel don't be put off my other people's negative reviews!
Top Local Tips for Singapore
Non smoking If you are a smoker be aware that Singapore is non smoking in hotels bars and just about everywhere apart from the streer
Walk everywhere so you don't miss out Singapore used to have a rep for being boring. Not so if you walk everywhere! We did not eat at any posh restaurants but just stopped whenever we were hungry and we saw food. We found back street shops and eateries. Happened upon loads of really beautiful temples and, above all, lots and lots of friendly people. Oh, and you must do the night safari at the Singapore Zoo!
Consistantly bad food Choose your restaurant carefully. We ate at expensive restaurants and hawker centres and found all to be consistantly bad. We only ate once where the food was good and that was at "The Pump room" at Clarke Quay-excellent food. Maybe we were just unlucky. We would not travel to Singapore again.

Diana Adams dreams in tweets. One hundred and forty characters at a time, the Atlanta-based computer consultant's subconscious bubbles up. "Sometimes I am literally sending someone a message on Twitter and sometimes the ideas just kind of come out that way," she told Betabeat recently.
On most nights Ms. Adams wakes up two or three times to check her Twitter stream and reply to @ messages from her nearly 50,000 followers. "I sleep with my phone under my pillow," she confessed. "But if you think that's bad, you don't know any real Twitterholics."
Living among media-obsessed New Yorkers, including some who employ two computers, one for work and one for TweetDeck, Betabeat assured her we did know a little something about the siren song of the micro-messaging service. "If I'm away from Twitter for more than an hour or two, I get nervous and break into a sweat," she countered. O.K., we admitted, you win.
Ms. Adams's voracious use of Twitter has earned her a score of 78 on Klout, a service that measures social media influence. This put her a little below President Obama, but a little above Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, who is among Ms. Adams's many followers on the service.
The central focus of Ms. Adams's activity is the blog Bit Rebels, where she is a writer along with two other bloggers she met through Twitter. The site is a sort of miniature version of the better known Mashable, covering social media, web culture and viral content with plucky optimism. Over the past two years Bit Rebels has grown to several hundred thousands visitors a month, and Ms. Adams's posts are always flush with Facebook likes, retweets and comments.
On Bit Rebels, Ms. Adams writes frequently about whether her Twitter habit is an actual problem. "I began to think about Twitter addiction. Is it real or is it just another way for the people around us to make us feel guilty about something we really enjoy?" The negative reaction to the amount of time she spends on Twitter is one reason she would rather stay in and tweet on the weekends than spend time with family or friends. "It's not like I'm smoking crack or something," she said told Betabeat in frustration. "Twitter is making my life better, so how can that be a bad thing?"
There is nothing inherently unhealthy about using Twitter, just as there is nothing innately problematic about playing World of Warcraft, but both of these online activities seem to lend themselves to addictive behavior which can become quite serious. According to Cosette Rae, the executive director of reSTART, the first clinic in the United States dedicated to treating internet addiction, cases related to Twitter are on the rise. "It's a dangerous little creature," Ms. Rae told Betabeat. "When you tell friends or family you're addicted to alcohol or drugs, that's something they can understand. When it comes to something like Twitter, people are less sympathetic. They think, everybody's doing it, how come you have a problem?"
Ms. Rae said the symptoms were akin to what she saw during her time treating veterans battling substance abuse. "Individuals who have lost interest in work, whose obsession is damaging their relationships." She warned people to watch out for warning signs, like users bringing phones into bed with them so they can monitor Twitter at all times. "It's rare, but we have seen physical symptoms as well. People who are staring at the monitor for hours on a program like TweetDeck—they become so focused, they experience something akin to sleep apnea, where they are awake, but forget to breathe."
A recurring theme is that many of the patients Ms. Rae treats are required to use Twitter as part of their job. "There is a big focus now in practically every industry on social media. Companies want a voice that sounds authentic, so they don't create a separation between the personal and the corporate account. For a lot of people that is no big deal. But for some, it's quite dangerous. Can you imagine if your boss told you one day, you have to start drinking on the job?"
Twitter is killing Laurel Snyder's career—her primary one, anyway. One hundred and forty characters at a time, it is taking away the limited reserve of words the Atlanta-based children's book author has left in her hands. Ms. Snyder developed rheumatoid arthritis a few years ago, and her doctor told her that over time, typing would become more and more difficult. Already she is limited to just four or five hours a day before the pain becomes too much. "I know, logically, that my fingers are only going to last so long," Ms. Snyder told Betabeat. "Sometimes I think about how many chapters this is costing me down the line. But I just can't stop tweeting."
Ms. Snyder's 24,000 tweets are a mix of parenting humor, self-deprecating promotion for her books and chatter with friends and followers. She bantered with celebs like Rosanne Cash, who recognized her from her Twitter avatar when the two met at a book signing. And no matter the time of day or night, she could always dip into her stream for a fix. "The important thing about it, for me, is not getting to follow celebs or being clever or building up followers," said Ms. Snyder. "It's that it never stops. When I'm up at 4 in the morning and I can't fall asleep, my choice is basically start drinking alone or get on Twitter."
Ms. Snyder has taken some small steps to battle this habit. She removed any trace of Twitter from her phone and stopped trying to follow people just because they followed her. And she takes comfort in the thought that while tweeting may cut short her career as an author, at least she has remained at the center of the conversation. As we spoke, she was wrapping up a vigorous online debate with other authors about whether young-adult fiction was becoming too dark. "Barring some sort of apocalypse that wipes the Internet off the face of the earth, Twitter is only going to become more central to my life as time goes on."
Twitter's central, and beneficial, role in today's workplace was the key message of the 140 Character conference held recently at the 92nd Street Y. "Did you hear I got animated today?" asked NPR's senior strategist for social media, Andy Carvin. That morning he had been immortalized by the Taiwanese animation studio Next Media. "I guess that means I've really made it," he joked. "But they made me look like George Costanza!" In the video Mr. Carvin stood with his hands outstretched, a flock of blue Twitter birds circling around his head and whispering in his ear. When his young daughter saw it, she pointed at her father on the screen and declared, "That's my Twitter!"
In real life, Mr. Carvin is an ebullient fellow with a large round head and a bit more hair than George Costanza. After a session at the #140 conference, he shared coffee and a cupcake with Betabeat at a small cafe on Lexington. "I'm going through 2,000 @ replies every day, 5 or 10 percent of which are typically real leads," said Mr. Carvin, as he mimed an ever expanding balloon with his hands. "I'll probably have 50,000 followers by the end of next week and I'm beginning to realize that, unless I get some new tools, I won't be able to keep up."
When the Arab Spring was dominating the headlines, Mr. Carvin estimates he spent between 18 and 20 hours each day on Twitter. "It got to the point where my account was actually suspended by the company. I had sent more than 1,000 tweets in a single day, so naturally they assumed I was some kind of spam bot, because what human would do that?" These days things are much more manageable. Mr. Carvin wakes up and reads what he missed over breakfast, tweets all day, then takes off a full two hours each night to cook dinner and spend time with his family. "I try and get in another 90 minutes after everyone goes to bed."
That day we chatted, his Twitter stream mixed coverage of three women who had been detained by security forces with poetic discussion of the lunar eclipse between Mr. Carvin and Twitter users all over the Middle East. "You could feel it sweep from east to west, from Syria into Egypt and then Libya." For Mr. Carvin, no feature writing, no matter how prestigious, could ever replace the high of interacting in real time with a passionate community of readers. "I'm DJing the revolution, curating the emotional soundtrack, and that live experience is addictive in a way that traditional reporting never could be."
Brian Stelter, who covers media and television for The New York Times, said he doesn't see a drawback to mixing his personal and professional life on Twitter. "When I'm tweeting at 3 a.m. just before going to sleep, I'm thinking about our audience out on the West Coast and in Europe. I am programming my personal broadcast network." Mr. Stelter's motto is a take off on a classic Wall Street maxim: Always Be Tweeting. "I've pretty much been keeping it up, except when I'm underground or in bed."
Still, the young reporter swears he doesn't have a problem. "I'm not addicted," he says. "I can stop any time I want." The service is a powerful tool, says Mr. Stelter, and the persistent buzz of feedback from fans and followers is beneficial. He tapped the mix of encouragement and peer pressure to lose 90 pounds by posting about every calorie he put in his mouth, eventually purchasing a scale that would share his weight with the public every time he stepped on to track his progress. "I can't stop tweeting, because I'm accountable." It wasn't an addiction; it was a positive enabler. "I am in fear of my followers, in the best way possible."
The asymetrical follow model is at the heart of Twitter's addictive qualities. On Facebook, each friendship is a one to one relationship. On Twitter, it's one to many. The thrill of acquiring followers is especially potent when users are retweeting, amplifying the reach of the original speaker. But just like in Holllywood, fans are fickle. The high of seeing your words repeated and rebroadcast fades quickly, as Twitter users move on to the next message, the new idea, the breaking story.
This is the central appeal for today's Twitter addicts. Heavy use of the site often provides a wealth of positive reinforcement on both the personal and professional levels. Ms. Adams, the computer consultant who dreamed in tweets, had thousands of followers constantly showering her with supportive praise, both on the micro-messaging service and in the comments of her blog. "I'll be the first to tell you, it's an ego thing," says Ms. Adams, who counts among her followers the movie star Alyssa Milano and the billionaire Richard Branson. "It's kinda crazy they pay attention to little old me in Atlanta."
Ms. Adams recently made her first trip to Shanghai, courtesy of the Black Card Circle, a charitable network sponsored by tech titans like Microsoft and Cisco, which had chosen Ms. Adams as an online influencer. "I made a lot of new friends over there and some of them are tweeting to me late at night," she said. "I can't wait 'til the morning to see what they're saying!" Besides the trip to China, other perks have included free meals and a case of wine, all aimed at getting Ms. Adams to mention the product to the masses who follow her.
Free trips to China, celebrities following you, a blossoming writing gig. Ms. Adams finds it hard to see the downside to her addiction. Occasionally a online commenter or a friend in real life will push Ms. Adams to acknowledge the severity of her habit, the way in which it is dominating her time and energy, but she maintains that her habit is under control. "Anyway, I can only really think in tweets," she admitted. "So if someone is talking to me for more than a minute, I just stop paying attention."
"So if someone is talking to me for more than a minute, I just stop paying attention."
This has been true of many high power executives with whom I've interacted. I could have used a little more practice at being succinct before joining Corporate America; perhaps Twitter can actually help today's youth.
Just so long as it doesn't destroy the English language. OMG – itd b #crzybad. lol!
Twitter remains a means of advertising for businesses and an outlet for self-involved ego-centric attention whores. Period.
Dear Bonee,
Do you know @d459c43bfdf665e033d09df73959b8fc:disqus @invisiblepeople he shares stories about people on the street- not drug addicts – people like you and me who have fallen on hard times due to the recession.
Do you know- @kanter She's a phenominal activist for many charities. You see Brandon- Twitter is for communicating and sharing- not just for business and celebredum. So before you bash the service, why don't you try it- reach out to what interests you and connect to learn something about our world and the people in it.I can promise you… you'll learn a lot and when you realize the power of using it to help people- you'll get it.@adventuregirl on Twitter
zo dan….kom ik eindelijk van het roken af…!!! haha super tweet… twitteraccount : 4EverInShape
If there is a cure for this addiction…I dont want it :)
Great post. Diana Adams is a Twitter legend! love her, love her style.
I always look forward to what she has to tweet and post in Bit rebels! Its the GOOD stuff!
Reminds me of that say that if you gotta go, it's a good way to go. (Will that fit 140 chs.?)
Great post and thank you for profiling the wonderful Diana Adams. In my view, the reason Diana uses twitter in the way she does is that she's a super connector. She enjoys and thrives on connecting people to information, ideas and experiences.
She's a leader amongst a generation of people who love to connect. I know this and even wrote a book about it called Connection Generation!
Thanks again for profiling her and her work.
Cheers, Iggy
Thank you so much for including me in your post Ben. From the moment you called me a few weeks ago all the way up till today when this published, it's been so much fun. :) We all know that as fast as social media is evolving, there is just a small fragment of time when Twitter is going to be such a big part of our lives. I'm so grateful to be experiencing it as it's all happening, right now.
Thank you to all my Twitter friends who have commented, retweeted and read this post. Twitter addiction is very real, but it's for a good reason. The friends we make on Twitter are very real. There is no such thing anymore as "real life" and "online life." Whether you are ready to accept it or not, it's ALL "real life."
Keep rockin!!! Love ya'll!!! I'll see you in the Twitterverse. =)))

- Genetic and chemical biology approaches for the characterization of the yeast PDK1 orthologs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans (2013)
- Fungal organisms, including the most common human pathogens Candida spp., are commensal organisms that are widely present as part of the human flora. Fungal infections are, most frequently, local infections that do not compromise the life of patients. However, mycotic diseases can be life-threatening if they become systemic infections. Systemic fungal infections have risen over the last three decades in parallel to the increased immune-compromised population as a consequence of diseases (e.g. HIV/AIDS) or therapeutic interventions that affect the immune system (e.g. chemotherapy for cancer treatment and immunosuppressors used for patients with organ transplants). This has resulted in the demand of new antifungal drugs that can eradicate the new infections caused by these opportunistic fungal pathogens. However, most of the current compounds have poor pharmaceutical properties such as narrow spectrum of activity, susceptibility to be extruded by efflux pumps or lack of specificity, which make them not suitable for human clinical applications. The treatment of fungal and parasitic infections has been traditionally difficult because the infective organisms are eukaryotic cells that share most of the pathways and enzymes with human cells. To avoid side effects and to develop a targeted therapy, the research has traditionally been centered on the very few enzymes and pathways existing in the infectious organism but absent in humans. Until now, antifungal therapeutic options are limited and are almost dominated by azole class of sterol biosynthesis inhibitors affecting the synthesis of ergosterol, a major constituent of the fungal cell membrane. Because human cells do not have a cell wall, the development of effective and safe antifungal agents has also been directed to enzymes required for the synthesis of the cell wall. Alternatively, it is theoretically possible to target enzymes that are present in fungal organisms and in humans, when: 1) sufficient selectivity can be achieved, and 2) inhibition of the fungal enzyme is lethal to the fungus but does not produce major side effects to humans. In this line, it would be ideal to evaluate the development of selective inhibitors of enzymes which are already known to be drug targets, like protein kinases.
- An Illumina metabarcoding pipeline for fungi (2014)
- High-throughput metabarcoding studies on fungi and other eukaryotic microorganisms are rapidly becoming more frequent and more complex, requiring researchers to handle ever increasing amounts of raw sequence data. Here, we provide a flexible pipeline for pruning and analyzing fungal barcode (ITS rDNA) data generated as paired-end reads on Illumina MiSeq sequencers. The pipeline presented includes specific steps fine-tuned for ITS, that are mostly missing from pipelines developed for prokaryotes. It (1) employs state of the art programs and follows best practices in fungal high-throughput metabarcoding; (2) consists of modules and scripts easily modifiable by the user to ensure maximum flexibility with regard to specific needs of a project or future methodological developments; and (3) is straightforward to use, also in classroom settings. We provide detailed descriptions and revision techniques for each step, thus giving the user maximum control over data treatment and avoiding a black-box approach. Employing this pipeline will improve and speed up the tedious and error-prone process of cleaning fungal Illumina metabarcoding data.
- Identification and characterization of RNA guanine-quadruplex binding proteins (2014)
- Guanine quadruplex (G-quadruplex) motifs in the 5′ untranslated region (5′-UTR) of mRNAs were recently shown to influence the efficiency of translation. In the present study, we investigate the interaction between cellular proteins and the G-quadruplexes located in two mRNAs (MMP16 and ARPC2). Formation of the G-quadruplexes was confirmed by biophysical characterization and the inhibitory activity on translation was shown by luciferase reporter assays. In experiments with whole cell extracts from different eukaryotic cell lines, G-quadruplex-binding proteins were isolated by pull-down assays and subsequently identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. The binding partners of the RNA G-quadruplexes we discovered included several heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoproteins, ribosomal proteins, and splicing factors, as well as other proteins that have previously not been described to interact with nucleic acids. While most of the proteins were specific for either of the investigated G-quadruplexes, some of them bound to both motifs. Selected candidate proteins were subsequently produced by recombinant expression and dissociation constants for the interaction between the proteins and RNA G-quadruplexes in the low nanomolar range were determined by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. The present study may thus help to increase our understanding of the mechanisms by which G-quadruplexes regulate translation.
- Population Structure and Distribution Patterns of the Sibling Mosquito Species Culex pipiens and Culex torrentium (Diptera: Culicidae) Reveal Different Evolutionary Paths (2014)
- Nowadays a number of endemic mosquito species are known to possess vector abilities for various diseases, as e.g. the sibling species Culex pipiens and Culex torrentium. Due to their morphological similarity, ecology, distribution and vector abilities, knowledge about these species' population structure is essential. Culicidae from 25 different sampling sites were collected from March till October 2012. All analyses were performed with aligned cox1 sequences with a total length of 658 bp. Population structure as well as distribution patterns of both species were analysed using molecular methods and different statistical tests like distance based redundancy analysis (dbDRA), analysis of molecular variances (AMOVA) or McDonald & Kreitman test and Tajima's D. Within both species, we could show a genetic variability among the cox1 fragment. The construction of haplotype networks revealed one dominating haplotype for Cx. pipiens, widely distributed within Germany and a more homogeneous pattern for Cx. torrentium. The low genetic differences within Cx. pipiens could be a result of an infection with Wolbachia which can induce a sweep through populations by passively taking the also maternally inherited mtDNA through the population, thereby reducing the mitochondrial diversity as an outcome of reproductive incompatibility. Pairwise population genetic differentiation (FST) ranged significantly from moderate to very great between populations of Cx. pipiens and Cx. torrentium. Analyses of molecular variances revealed for both species that the main genetic variability exists within the populations (Cx. pipiens [88.38%]; Cx. torrentium [66.54%]). Based on a distance based redundancy analysis geographical origin explained a small but significant part of the species' genetic variation. Overall, the results confirm that Cx. pipiens and Cx. torrentium underlie different factors regarding their mitochondrial differentiation, which could be a result of endosymbiosis, dispersal between nearly located populations or human introduction.
- Gene loss rather than gene gain is associated with a host jump from monocots to dicots in the smut fungus Melanopsichium pennsylvanicum (2014)
- Smut fungi are well-suited to investigate the ecology and evolution of plant pathogens, as they are strictly biotrophic, yet cultivable on media. Here we report the genome sequence of Melanopsichium pennsylvanicum, closely related to Ustilago maydis and other Poaceae-infecting smuts, but parasitic to a dicot plant. To explore the evolutionary patterns resulting from host adaptation after this huge host jump, the genome of M. pennsylvanicum was sequenced and compared to the genomes of Ustilago maydis, Sporisorium reilianum, and Ustilago hordei. While all four genomes had a similar completeness in CEGMA analyses, gene absence was highest in M. pennsylvanicum, and most pronounced in putative secreted proteins, which are often considered as effector candidates. In contrast, the amount of private genes was similar among the species, highlighting that gene loss rather than gene gain is the hallmark of adaptation after the host jump to the dicot host. Our analyses revealed a trend of putative effectors to be next to another putative effector, but the majority of these are not in clusters and thus the focus on pathogenicity clusters might not be appropriate for all smut genomes. Positive selection studies revealed that M. pennsylvanicum has the highest number and proportion of genes under positive selection. In general, putative effectors showed a higher proportion of positively selected genes than non-effector candidates. The 248 putative secreted effectors found in all four smut genomes might constitute a core set needed for pathogenicity, while those 92 that are found in all grass-parasitic smuts, but have no ortholog in M. pennsylvanicum might constitute a set of effectors important for successful colonization of grass hosts.
- Factors affecting date of implantation, parturition, and den entry estimated from activity and body temperature in free-ranging brown bears (2014)
- Knowledge of factors influencing the timing of reproduction is important for animal conservation and management. Brown bears (Ursus arctos) are able to vary the birth date of their cubs in response to their fat stores, but little information is available about the timing of implantation and parturition in free-ranging brown bears. Body temperature and activity of pregnant brown bears is higher during the gestation period than during the rest of hibernation and drops at parturition. We compared mean daily body temperature and activity levels of pregnant and nonpregnant females during preimplantation, gestation, and lactation. Additionally we tested whether age, litter size, primiparity, environmental conditions, and the start of hibernation influence the timing of parturition. The mean date of implantation was 1 December (SD = 12), the mean date of parturition was 26 January (SD = 12), and the mean duration of the gestation period was 56 days (SD = 2). The body temperature of pregnant females was higher during the gestation and lactation periods than that of nonpregnant bears. The body temperature of pregnant females decreased during the gestation period. Activity recordings were also used to determine the date of parturition. The parturition dates calculated with activity and body temperature data did not differ significantly and were the same in 50% of the females. Older females started hibernation earlier. The start of hibernation was earlier during years with favorable environmental conditions. Dates of parturition were later during years with good environmental conditions which was unexpected. We suggest that free-ranging pregnant brown bears in areas with high levels of human activities at the beginning of the denning period, as in our study area, might prioritize investing energy in early denning than in early parturition during years with favorable environmental conditions, as a strategy to prevent disturbances caused by human.
- APADB: a database for alternative polyadenylation and microRNA regulation events (2014)
- Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a widespread mechanism that contributes to the sophisticated dynamics of gene regulation. Approximately 50% of all protein-coding human genes harbor multiple polyadenylation (PA) sites; their selective and combinatorial use gives rise to transcript variants with differing length of their 3' untranslated region (3'UTR). Shortened variants escape UTR-mediated regulation by microRNAs (miRNAs), especially in cancer, where global 3'UTR shortening accelerates disease progression, dedifferentiation and proliferation. Here we present APADB, a database of vertebrate PA sites determined by 3' end sequencing, using massive analysis of complementary DNA ends. APADB provides (A)PA sites for coding and non-coding transcripts of human, mouse and chicken genes. For human and mouse, several tissue types, including different cancer specimens, are available. APADB records the loss of predicted miRNA binding sites and visualizes next-generation sequencing reads that support each PA site in a genome browser. The database tables can either be browsed according to organism and tissue or alternatively searched for a gene of interest. APADB is the largest database of APA in human, chicken and mouse. The stored information provides experimental evidence for thousands of PA sites and APA events. APADB combines 3' end sequencing data with prediction algorithms of miRNA binding sites, allowing to further improve prediction algorithms. Current databases lack correct information about 3'UTR lengths, especially for chicken, and APADB provides necessary information to close this gap. Database URL: http://tools.genxpro.net/apadb/
- A pre-ribosomal RNA interaction network involving snoRNAs and the Rok1 helicase (2014)
- Ribosome biogenesis in yeast requires 75 small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and a myriad of cofactors for processing, modification, and folding of the ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs). For the 19 RNA helicases implicated in ribosome synthesis, their sites of action and molecular functions have largely remained unknown. Here, we have used UV cross-linking and analysis of cDNA (CRAC) to reveal the pre-rRNA binding sites of the RNA helicase Rok1, which is involved in early small subunit biogenesis. Several contact sites were identified in the 18S rRNA sequence, which interestingly all cluster in the "foot" region of the small ribosomal subunit. These include a major binding site in the eukaryotic expansion segment ES6, where Rok1 is required for release of the snR30 snoRNA. Rok1 directly contacts snR30 and other snoRNAs required for pre-rRNA processing. Using cross-linking, ligation and sequencing of hybrids (CLASH) we identified several novel pre-rRNA base-pairing sites for the snoRNAs snR30, snR10, U3, and U14, which cluster in the expansion segments of the 18S rRNA. Our data suggest that these snoRNAs bridge interactions between the expansion segments, thereby forming an extensive interaction network that likely promotes pre-rRNA maturation and folding in early pre-ribosomal complexes and establishes long-range rRNA interactions during ribosome synthesis.
- Reprogramming of tumor cells : signaling events and phenotypes (2014)
- Cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and the capacity to disseminate to distant organs. The properties of cancers are caused by genetic and epigenetic alterations when compared to their normal counterparts. Genetic mutations occur in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and are the initial drivers of cellular transformation (Lengauer et al., 1998; Vogelstein and Kinzler, 2004). In addition, epigenetic alterations, which influence the expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes independently from sequence alterations, are also involved in the transformation process (Esteller and Herman, 2001; Sharma et al., 2010). Genetic alterations and epigenetic regulatory signals cooperate in tumor etiology. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a frequent and aggressive malignant brain tumor in humans. The median survival of GBM patients is about 15 months after diagnosis. Like in other cancers, genetic and epigenetic alterations can be detected in GBM. Genetic alterations in GBM affect cell growth, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and invasion; however, epigenetic alterations in GBM also affect the expression of oncogenes or tumor suppresser genes that increase tumor malignancy (Nagarajan and Costello, 2009). Reprogramming is a cellular process in which somatic cells can be induced to assume the properties of less differentiated stem cells. This process can be mediated through epigenetic modifications of the genome of somatic cells by the action of four defined transcription factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and Myc) or by the action of the miR 302/367 cluster (Anokye-Danso et al., 2011; Takahashi and Yamanaka, 2006; Takahashi et al., 2007) and result in the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells). Reprogramming of somatic cells by the miR 302/367 cluster can generate nontumorigenic iPS cells through the inhibition of the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), cell cycle regulatory genes and epigenetic modifiers (Lin and Ying, 2013).
- Polyploidy in haloarchaea: advantages for growth and survival (2014)
- The investigated haloarchaeal species, Halobacterium salinarum, Haloferax mediterranei, and H. volcanii, have all been shown to be polyploid. They contain several replicons that have independent copy number regulation, and most have a higher copy number during exponential growth phase than in stationary phase. The possible evolutionary advantages of polyploidy for haloarchaea, most of which have experimental support for at least one species, are discussed. These advantages include a low mutation rate and high resistance toward X-ray irradiation and desiccation, which depend on homologous recombination. For H. volcanii, it has been shown that gene conversion operates in the absence of selection, which leads to the equalization of genome copies. On the other hand, selective forces might lead to heterozygous cells, which have been verified in the laboratory. Additional advantages of polyploidy are survival over geological times in halite deposits as well as at extreme conditions on earth and at simulated Mars conditions. Recently, it was found that H. volcanii uses genomic DNA as genetic material and as a storage polymer for phosphate. In the absence of phosphate, H. volcanii dramatically decreases its genome copy number, thereby enabling cell multiplication, but diminishing the genetic advantages of polyploidy. Stable storage of phosphate is proposed as an alternative driving force for the emergence of DNA in early evolution. Several additional potential advantages of polyploidy are discussed that have not been addressed experimentally for haloarchaea. An outlook summarizes selected current trends and possible future developments.

Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has been cleared of wrongdoing in an integrity investigation and can be considered for international selection again, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Friday.
Malik had been under scrutiny since December as the PCB's integrity committee sought clarification from him about deposits in his foreign bank accounts.
"Shoaib Malik was directed to provide complete information supported with relevant documents regarding the source of the said deposits, which he did provide," a PCB statement said.
"The committee reviewed all the material in detail and also verified the veracity of the said information from relevant authorities.
"The integrity committee after detailed deliberations has unanimously reached the conclusion that prima facie Shoaib Malik has been able to establish that the said deposits in this overseas account did not emanate from any questionable source or activity," the statement added.
"As against that no incriminating material to the contrary was available on the record hence Shoaib Malik is hereby cleared by the integrity committee."
Ready for comeback
The 29-year-old Malik, who has played 32 Tests and 192 one-day internationals, last played for Pakistan in England last year.
The allrounder has been named among the reserves for Pakistan's coming tour to Zimbabwe and chief selector Mohsin Khan said the selectors would soon decide if he should be considered for the main team.
"He is now cleared by the board and being a senior player who has done well in domestic cricket is a serious contender for a comeback to the team," Khan said.
Malik, who led Pakistan between 2007 and 2009 before being stripped of the captaincy on disciplinary grounds, said he was delighted to clear his name.
"It has been a very hard few months for me because not playing for Pakistan was a huge gap in my life. But it is great to be cleared and hopefully now I can start focusing on my comeback," he told Reuters.
The committee has yet to rule on a similar case involving Test leg-spinner Danish Kaneria.

28th March, 1929
(Due to arrive Canberra 27.4.29)
My dear P.M.,
It is rather early yet to be optimistic about the possibilities of the economic exploitation of the Antarctic but it appears to me as if the outlook is quite hopeful from the point of view of seals alone.
Mawson [1] says that the hair seal exists in large numbers on the Antarctic coast immediately south of Australia, but they have hitherto been regarded as of little value. However, in the last year or so, the Hudson's Bay Company has developed a technique for the treatment of these skins and they say that their market value is rapidly approaching that of the fur seal. At the moment, the Hudson's Bay Company's activities as regards sealing are confined to the vicinity of Newfoundland and the Hudson's Bay area in Canada, but they tell me that they are on the point of extending their activities both as regards sealing and in many other directions to other parts of the world.
Their interest in the Australian sector of the Antarctic lies in the fact that Mawson says the seals are there in very large numbers and they happen to be of very much greater size than the Canadian seals, and so are proportionately more valuable. They have also developed methods of economic utilisation of many other products of the seal, and also penguin eggs and other Antarctic raw material. I have spent some little time lately with their Research people and am to meet their Chairman, Mr. C. V. Sale [2], shortly.
They hope that arrangements can be made whereby they will be allowed to co-operate with Australian interests in the exploitation of this area.
In this respect, as in many others, I am trenching on McDougall's [3] country, but I am telling him all about it. I hope in the near future to be able to give you fuller particulars of what the Hudson's Bay people have in mind. At first sight it would look like an Australian public company in which the Hudson's Bay Company might have up to one-third interest, their technical knowledge and experience of the marketing end being taken into account. You may, however, wish the Commonwealth Government to participate directly in any such company.
The above points to the advisability of some sort of a census of the animal life of the areas visited being undertaken by Mawson.
Sealing restrictions will also have to be considered at an early stage-but probably not until the area has been taken over by the Commonwealth. I have already sent out copies of the relevant sealing restriction regulations of a number of countries as precedents.
My lunch for Mawson this week, to which Amery [4] and a number of others came, went off quite well. Half of the time was devoted to Mawson and the rest was taken up by Hugo Hirst [5], who declaimed at great length on Imperial and Australian matters. He is completely imbued and absorbed by the Imperial spirit and uses his many opportunities for public speaking to sound the right note, and I can well imagine will do a great deal of good. But to hear him talking about the 'development of this great British heritage of ours' is a little like Mond's alleged remark in the heat of an electioneering speech in Wales-'I stand above all things for the principle of Vales for the Velsh'. [6]
Hirst told me that since his return he had had several talks to Mond with the object of trying to work out some feasible plan for closer economic cooperation between Great Britain and Australia- and the other Dominions. They hoped to continue such conversations in a few months' time and to discuss the subject with as many Dominion business men as possible-and they might have something to suggest (entirely outside politics) before the end of the year- well before the next Imperial Conference.
I enclose copy of the latest Davenport and Cooke pamphlet. [7] Although it is on broader lines than before, the attack is none the less specifically directed at Australia. McDougall and I had thought that it would be best answered from the mouth of someone like Sir Hugo Hirst and suggested this to Collins [8], but he wants to do it himself-and so as it is rather out of my country I had no more to say. I feel that Cooke is out after notoriety as much as anything, and is taking this easy line of criticism as a convenient-and, at the moment, not unpopular-medium. It has been noticed by all the papers and reviews, but I have seen no very marked comments on it one way or the other.
Mr. Baldwin's [9] references to the failures of nationalisation of public utilities (instancing Australia's efforts in this regard) have given pegs to the Labour Party on which to hang pointed and rather telling speeches. Tom Jones [10] tells me (in great confidence) that this particular speech of Baldwin's was written in the Conservative Central Office and was the only speech of recent date that he (T.J.) has not personally written or vetted. I don't know whether you know J.C.C. Davidson [11], the head of the Conservative Central Office machine-he did the publicity side of the last two Imperial Conferences. Although I don't expect it would cause him a sleepless night, he is a man whom I have little use for.
As regards the press attitude towards political parties here-the 'Daily Mail' (Lord Rothermere) declared itself a few days ago as being for a Conservative-Liberal fusion, in an effort to keep out the Labour Party. This sounds particularly inept and impossible of achievement. I hear that a lot of backstairs negotiations went on before this policy was announced. Baldwin could conceivably have got the wholehearted support of the 'Daily Mail' if he had liked to swallow hard, but he is not very good at this sort of thing.
Hankey [12] says that the 'Daily Mail' has always been singularly lacking in political sense at elections. Beaverbrook [13] ('Daily Express') has not yet announced himself finally on the election.
The 'Times' has come out wholeheartedly in support of the present Government.
I enclose copy of an article on 'Anglo-American Relations and Sea Power' by John W. Davis, that has appeared in the American review 'Foreign Affairs', and which has attracted considerable attention both in the United States and here. He was American Ambassador in London for three years after the War. It is a sane and fairly reasonable statement of the position. [14]
I enclose list of the Directorate of the Bank of England for the forthcoming year.
I am, Yours sincerely, R.G. CASEY
P.S. I enclose extract from an article on Educational Films, by Sir Michael Sadler, in the recent Film Supplement of the 'Times', in which you are spoken of as probably going to add a piece of 'talking film'.
Hankey's daughter, Ursula, has become engaged to young Benn of the publishing house. His father is a baronet and from a worldly-and I think from every other-point of view it is a good match. [15]
I enclose press cuttings about the boat race. It was a procession all the way.
I enclose copy of enlargement from a small cinema of the infant when she was four months old. [16] I am keeping a movie record of her but otherwise have had no photographs taken. She looks rather like a tennis ball but is really quite a pleasant child. [17]

Biolife Organic (unsweetened)
EasiYo Products
Organic Yogurt – Soft-setting issue
We are now aware that some of the product in our most recent batches of our Organic Yogurt have not been setting quite as 'solid' as it should be doing (the batches affected are 10256, 10359, 10466, and 10537).
Although the taste is exactly the same, due to naturally occurring variations 'down on the farm', it seems the current supply of our Organic milk powder can be a bit 'hit or miss' with its setting consistency. Sometimes it sets great, and other times it's quite 'runny'. We are working hard to get to the bottom of the matter but the disappointing news is that we will not have better quality product until the new season (early next year).
The Organic is my favourite flavour, and I do like 'firm' yogurt, so I am not too pleased about it but some don't seem to mind! If you have experienced any setting issues with your Organic Yogurt recently, please accept our apologies, and let us know.
We will happily send you a replacement from another range like our Greek or Natural or Bio Life Reduced Fat varieties.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Customer Product Reviews
Melanie White - Lyttelton, New Zealand
HI, I love this product, and I only got the easiyo maker because you offer the organic unsweetened yoghurt mix. My local supermarket New World St Martins has stopped stocking it, so I am glad to see that you still make it, and I will search around to find where it is available. Otherwise I can buy online!!
Susan Johnson - Vancouver, Canada
This is a fantastic, thick yogurt that you can add your own fruit or sweeteners too. It's great to have a healthy organic choice, thanks!

$3.00 or $5.00 grab bags are available for each student. Bags are subject to variations while supplies last and prices are subject to California State tax rate.
Each bag includes a mixture of low priced items such as pencils, animal cards, small plastic animals or a smashed penny with a CALM animal artwork and logo.

The fee for the first assembly is $225.00 and an additional $195.00 for a second assembly following the first. There will be a $.60 per mile charge for each mile to and from the school site.
For a more intimate program for your students, CALM will bring the ambassador animals to your classroom (up to 30 students).

Winner of the Best Actress and Best Film Awards from the Hong Kong Film Critics Society, Jeffrey Lau's Chinese Odyssey 2002 is a unique martial arts comedy-romance that sends up Shakespeare, the Shaw Brothers, Beijing Opera high-wire thrills, and even producer Wong Kar-Wai's signature stylistic excess.
A movie that "packs a lot of laughs and action into a beautifully shot 105 minutes" (Variety), Chinese Odyssey 2002 follows royal heirs Princess Wushuang (Asian pop diva and Chungking Express heroine Faye Wong) and future Emperor Zheng De (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's Chen Chang) as they escape the Forbidden City to taste life among Ming Dynasty China's have-nots. But in a gender-bending twist, the princess disguises herself as a fierce male warrior who proves equally beguiling to both martial arts master King Bully (In the Mood for Love star Tony Leung, cast hilariously against type) and his sister Phoenix (Shaolin Soccer scene stealer Wei Zhao). When King Bully plays family match-maker, the foppish (and afro-wigged!) young emperor is forced to compete with his own sister for the beautiful commoner's hand.
Combining swordfights, slapstick, satire, songs, and genuine sentiment into a lightning-paced big-screen farrago of "identity changes and gender confusions; plot contortions, clever puns and a great punchline" (Time Out London), Chinese Odyssey 2002 may be the mother of all mo lei tau films the crazy-quilt Hong Kong super-farces recently popularized in the West by Stephen Chow.

|Rodríguez-Mendoza discusses her days as a student at the University of Texas at Austin and her involvement in the creation of UT MAYO (Mexican American Youth Organization), the campaign for its presidency, and her work as its vice-president. She also tells of her support for Gonzalo Barrientos, including managing his campus campaign. Rodríguez-Mendoza recounts her early work history, especially her work with the Mexican American Catholic Alliance, with SER (Service, Employment and Rehabilitation), and as director of voter registration in Travis County. She recalls her interview and hiring for the latter position, Bill Aleshire's role therein, and the support she received from him on the job. Rodríguez-Mendoza describes her first race for Travis County District Clerk, her political base, the election results, and her campaign and its funding. She explains the structure and functions of the District Clerk's office and highlights her achievements during her first term. She comments on the then upcoming race for re-election, providing some information about her opponent and her opinion of the possible effects on election results of the influx of people to Austin. Rodríguez-Mendoza describes the Texas grand jury and Travis County jury systems, as well as her role the consolidation of jury selection in the county. She briefly addresses her hopes to someday run for statewide office and her preparations for doing so.
