The hotel offers what i from a high star hotel expect.
Friendly, effective staff, everything in good condition.
About the location: a bit away from the main attractions (but on foot feasible), but bus station and shopping center just round the corner.
The room was big, clean and contemporary furnishing. Unfortunately found in front of the hotel construction instead of, so the large window very dirty (dusty) was.
The wifi-internet in the room was very fast, unfortunately only two german tv channels.
The pool on the roof is in the winter closed. read hotel review

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. A common criminal, Thunderboot was recruited by the Mad Thinker in his new scheme to destroy the Avengers. As a member of the Triumvirate of Terror, Thunderboot was given massive armored boots which enabled him to create shock waves by stomping the ground. He was the third and final member of the Triumvirate encountered by the Avengers, battling Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch. Thunderboot was able to quickly defeat Quicksilver by creating tremors on the ground around him, stunning him while he got close enough to knock him unconscious with a swift kick. Scarlet Witch, distraught over her brother's defeat, used her hex abilities to cause an explosion near Thunderboot, but due to his amazing speed, he was able to dodge it. Acting quickly, Thunderboot slammed his feet into the ground, creating a negative reaction with Scarlet Witch's mutant power. The psychic backlash short-circuited a device behind her, defeating her.With the Avengers defeated, the Triumvirate of Terror regrouped and tied each of the five members up in order to execute them. Thunderboot and his teammate Hammerhead wished to destroy the Avengers themselves. Suddenly, Hercules appeared and attempted to save the Avengers. Before Hercules could move, Thunderboot created a shock wave around him, and them proceeded to jump onto him. However, Hercules quickly disposed of him. Thunderboot, having recovered, struck once again. The Avengers, now fully healed, defeated the Triumvirate of Terror and presumably imprisoned them. CreationThunderboot was created by Roy Thomas and Don Heck in 1967 and first appeared in The Avengers # 39.

Interview: How relief agencies respond to emergencies and long-term problems.
BOSTON — To find out about the emergency response to the earthquake in Chile and how the world responds to disasters and longer-term health problems, GlobalPost talked to Marie-Noelle Rodrique, the deputy director of operations for Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF).
How is Medecins Sans Frontieres responding to the earthquake in Chile?
We have sent a team of five to six people to Chile and they are busy assessing the situation. Chile is a different challenge for us. It is quite a rich, well-organized country with generally good health care where the population generally has good access to health care. This is not a country where we usually work.
Slideshow: Day three of the Chile Quake |
The Chile government and authorities are responding well to the emergency. They need money. They need equipment and supplies. But they are getting help to the people in need. They are getting supplies and health care to the many people who are homeless.
There are not so many gaps in the health care as a result of the Chile earthquake. We at MSF are looking for those gaps. We have gone to Santiago and to Concepcion and the various smaller cities of southern Chile. We find they are quite well equipped medically. We are trying to find the pockets of people outside of the main epicenter, places that may have been overlooked, where people are in emergency need.
In the wake of the back-to-back earthquakes in Haiti and now Chile – how do you respond to donor fatigue?
People give money when they can identify with the victims. So for instance with the tsunami of 2004 many people had visited the areas as tourists so they were engaged with the areas that were devastated. MSF found that people responded with generosity and they maintained their donations throughout the year to help in that emergency. If people can indentify with a situation then you see a huge outpouring.
Slideshow: scenes of destruction |
In the case of the earthquake in Haiti, the United States and Canada have a very close proximity to the island. People know about Haiti because they have big immigrant populations. The news media went to Haiti and gave it very big coverage on the television and radio and in the newspapers. That resulted in a big generous response.
But when you look at Pakistan, which had a devastating earthquake in 2005, it did not get the same kind of response. Pakistan is very far away and not many people had visited there. The media coverage was limited. There were not so many journalists who reported on the disaster and the suffering in Pakistan. So there was not a big a response in donations.
Identification, proximity and the media agenda, the way the media highlights the disaster, the way media coverage can bring the disaster right home to the people — these all contribute to the way people donate.

Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- For Kerry Wood, Dodger Stadium has been a chamber of horrors.
Chicago's All-Star right-hander gave up second-inning homers to Adrian Beltre and rookie Jason Grabowski before hurting his arm, and Los Angeles beat the Cubs 7-3 on Tuesday night for its fifth straight victory.Wood, who struck out more than 200 batters in each of the previous three seasons after undergoing reconstructive elbow surgery in April 1999, didn't come out for the third inning because of tightness in his triceps."I didn't want to come out of the game. I felt like I could have continued to pitch," Wood said. "I mean, it didn't kill me out there, but it's not something you want to play around with in May."For the last three years, I've made all my starts and haven't had any problems with anything. So it's better just to nip this in the bud now and give it time to rest, instead of trying to pitch through it and make it worse."The last time Wood (3-3) pitched in Los Angeles, on Aug. 3, 2001, he beat the Dodgers 2-1 with eight innings of three-hit ball -- and spent the next month and three days on the disabled list with tendinitis in his shoulder.In his only other start at Dodger Stadium, Wood lasted only 2 2-3 innings and allowed seven runs in a 12-4 loss on Apr. 24, 1998. This time, he threw 38 pitches and was charged with three runs -- two earned -- and three hits before Glendon Rusch relieved him."I was just trying to get through that second inning," Wood said. "I didn't really feel like I had a whole lot of command of what I was doing, as far as location and stuff."Beltre, who entered the game with a major league-leading .385 average, led off with his 10th homer -- an opposite-field drive to right-center that extended his hitting streak to 14 games."He's done it every night, it seems like," winning pitcher Jeff Weaver said. "Anytime he comes up with runners on base, we feel like they're going to come around and score. Whether he's seventh, fifth or third in the lineup, he's going to be productive. Hopefully, he just keeps rolling."Grabowski, starting in left field because of Dave Roberts' strained right hamstring, homered into the right-field pavilion two batters later on a 1-0 pitch after Juan Encarnacion reached on a throwing error by third baseman Aramis Ramirez.The Dodgers, whose 21-10 record is the best in the NL, battered Rusch for four runs and eight hits over the next three innings to take a 7-1 lead. The offense was a welcomed sight for Weaver (2-4), who had only four runs of support in his previous three outings -- all losses."Anytime you get a lead, you get more relaxed and more confident," Weaver said. "You can be more aggressive and not worry about the minimal mistakes that go along with the course of the game. I knew things would change with the run support. We're playing too well for it not to."Weaver pitched eight innings, allowing two runs and six hits and striking out seven -- including Sammy Sosa three times, leaving the six-time All-Star one home run shy of tying Mike Schmidt for ninth place on the career list at 548.Rusch got through his first inning unscathed, but gave up hits to four of his first five batters in the fourth with three runs scoring, two on a bases-loaded single by Paul Lo Duca. Cesar Izturis scored when Milton Bradley grounded into a forceout. Alex Cora made it 7-1 in the fifth with an RBI single.Chicago's Ramon Martinez opened the scoring in the second with an RBI double after Michael Barrett was hit by a pitch with two outs.Todd Walker of the Cubs led off the second with a double, advanced to third on Sosa's single and continued home when the ball popped out of right fielder Encarnacion's hand as he cocked his arm to throw.Game notes
Dodgers C Todd Hundley underwent successful surgery on his left hip Tuesday while continuing to rehab from a back operation. ... LHP Kazuhisa Ishii's scheduled start on Wednesday was pushed back to Friday by the Dodgers because of soreness in the cartilage that's attached to the left side of his sternum. ... Cubs RHP Mark Prior, recovering from inflammation in his right Achilles' tendon and a sore elbow, will receive his diploma from the University of Southern California during Friday's commencement exercises.

PARVIS: Parallel Analysis Tools and New Visualization Techniques for Ultra-Large Climate Data Sets
The goal of this project is to develop a new Parallel Gridded Analysis Library (ParGAL) that will vastly improve the speed of climate data analysis compared to the current serial tools.
The relationship between our ability to analyze and extract insights from visualization of climate model output and the capability of the available resources to make those visualizations has reached a crisis point. The large volume of data currently produced by climate models is overwhelming the current, decades-old visualization workflow. The traditional methods for visualizing climate output also have not kept pace with changes in the types of grids used, the number of variables involved, and the number of different simulations performed with a climate model or the feature-richness of high-resolution simulations.
New and faster methods for visualization will be needed in order to get the most knowledge out of the new generation of high-resolution climate models. Climate visualizations are typically two-dimensional (surface temperature, zonally averaged wind) because the climate system has a very small aspect ratio: it is thousands of kilometers wide but only a few kilometers deep. The bottleneck to producing these images is not the drawing of the image on the screen but rather the calculations that must be performed on the climate model output before an image can be made.
We will speed up this post-processing, or analysis, phase of climate visualization by developing a new Parallel Gridded Analysis Library (ParGAL) that will vastly improve the speed of climate data analysis compared to the current serial tools. ParGAL will build on currently available software technology that will also permit calculations to be performed in parallel on many different numerical grids. We will interface ParGAL with a popular climate modeling tool: the NCAR Command Language (NCL). We will further enhance the current visualization paradigm by adding parallel scripting abilities using Swift.

Effect of salt stress on physiological and morphological parameters of rapeseed cultivars.
IntroductionAbiotic stresses such as salt excess (NaCl) and drought are among factors most limiting to plant productivity [2,6,7]. High salinity in soil or irrigation water is a common environmental problem affecting plant growth and productivity by provoking osmotic stress and ion toxicity together with induction of oxidative stress. There is an increasing body of evidence which suggests that together with osmotic adjustment and ion compartmentalization, an efficient antioxidant system is also important in combating salinity stress. Results have indicated that salinity affects growth and development of plants through oxidative, osmotic and ionic stresses. Because of accumulated salts in soil under salt stress condition plant wilts apparently while soil salts such as Na+ and [Cl.sup.-] disrupt normal growth and development of plant [9, 25, 38]. Salt tolerance of wheat cultivars have a direct relationship with [Na.sup.+]/[K.sup.+] ratio so that the ratio increased with the increase of salinity level but less increase is observed in tolerant cultivars, they concluded that [Na.sup.+]/[K.sup.+] ratio can be a measure of salt stress tolerance [10, 26].
One of the biochemical changes occurring when plants are subjected to biotic or abiotic stresses is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) [24]. ROS are highly reactive and in the absence of any protective mechanism they can seriously disrupt normal metabolism through oxidative damage to lipids, protein and nucleic acids. In order to avoid the production of these reactive molecules plants have evolved an effective scavenging system involving antioxidant molecules like carotenoids, ascorbate, glutathione and tocopherols as well as antioxidant enzymes such as super oxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione reductase. Malondialdehyde (MDA) as the decomposition product of polyunsaturated fatty acids of biomembranes, showed greater accumulation under salt stress [23, 25]. Cell membrane stability has been widely used to differentiate stress tolerant and susceptible cultivars of some crops and and in some cases higher membrane stability and prolin content could be correlated with abiotic stress tolerance [27, 28].
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of salt stress on the activity of antioxidative enzymes; the lipid membrane peroxidation; the prolin content and the [Na.sup.+] and [K.sup.+] content in four rape seed cultivars, in order to better understand their differences on salt stress tolerance.
Material and methods
Plant material:
A research was carried out to evolution effect of salt stress on physiological and morphological parameters of four rapeseed cultivars, Slm04, Opera, Zarfam and Modena in University of Tehran and Islamic Azad University (Shoushtar Branch) in 2010. Salt stress treatments were applied using salt solutions with EC values of 0.6 (control), 4 and 8 ds/[m.sup.-1]. These solutions were called S0, S1 and S2 respectively. Required amount of each solid salt for preparing one liter salt solution was calculated through the following formula first [1]:
TDS (mg/lit) = EC x 640
Where: TDS= total soluble solid salt amount (mg/lit)
EC= given electro conductivity value (ds/m)
Then EC value of each solution was read by means of EC meter and reached the desirable EC with addition of solid salt or distilled water. 10 Seeds of each cultivar were sown in germination boxes filled with perlite. The germination boxes were placed greenhouse where temperature ranged between 22[degrees]C and 25[degrees]C for a period of 3 weeks. The boxes irrigated daily with three different Hoagland solutions by the use of NaCl. Electrical conductivities (EC) at 25[degrees]C of the three salinity levels were 0.6(control), 4 and 8dS [m.sup.-1], respectively. After 21 days, plants were harvested for morphological, physiological and biochemical determinations. The layout of the experiment was a Factorial complete block Design. There were four replicates in each treatment group.
Enzyme Determinations:
For enzyme assays and estimation of lipid peroxidation, frozen leaf samples were ground to a fine powder with liquid nitrogen and extracted with ice-cold 50 nM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). The extracts were centrifuged at 4[degrees]C for 30 min at 20000g and the resulting supernatants; hereafter referred to as crude extracts, was collected and used for protein content assay and enzyme activities. Protein content was determined according to Bradford [8] with bovine serum albumin as the standard. Peroxidase activity was determined using the guaiacol oxidation method [4] in a 3 ml reaction mixture containing 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.4), 8 mM guaiacol, 100-200 ml enzyme extract and 2.75 mM H2O2. The increase in absorbance was recorded at 470 nm within 30 s (linear phase) after H2O2 was added. CAT extraction was performed in a 50 mM Tris- HCl buffer. The enzyme activity was assayed by measuring the reduction of H2O2 at 240 nm and 25[degrees]C as described by Dionisio-Sese et al. [13].
Lipid peroxidation and Electrolyte leakage:
Lipid peroxidation was determined by measuring the amount of malondialdehyde (MDA) formation using the thiobarbituric acid method described by Stewart and Bewley[33]. The crude extract preparation was mixed with the same volume of a 0.5% (w: v) thiobarbituric acid solution containing 20% (w: v) trichloroacetic acid. The mixture was heated at 95[degrees]C for 30 min and the reaction was stopped by quickly placing in an ice-bath. The cooled mixture was centrifuged at 10000g for 10 min, and the absorbance of the supernatant at 532 and 600 nm was read. After subtracting the nonspecific absorbance at 600 nm, the MDA concentration was determined by its extinction coefficient of 155 m[M.sup.-1] [cm.sup.-1]. [37]
To determine electrolyte leakage, 100 mg fresh leaf samples were cut into 5 mm length and placed in test tubes containing 10 ml distilled deionized water. The tubes were covered with plastic caps and placed in a water bath maintained at the constant temperature of 32[degrees]C. After 2 h the initial electrical conductivity of the medium (EC1) was measured using an electrical conductivity meter. The samples were autoclaved
afterwards at 120[degrees]C for 20 min to completely kill the tissues and release all electrolytes. Samples were then cooled to 25[degrees]C and the final electrical conductivity (EC2) was measured. The electrolyte leakage (EL) was expressed following the formula EL=EC1/EC2x 100 [32].
Proline conten:
Proline determination was carried out according to the method of Bates et al. [5].
Sodium and Potassium determination:
For the determination of sodium and Potassium in the leaf, 10 mg dried material was cut into 1 cm length, placed in test tubes containing 20 ml distilled deionized water, and heated in a boiling water bath for 1 h. The tubes were then autoclaved at 120[degrees]C for 20 min and cooled. The sodium content in 15 time's diluted extract was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry[1].
Statistical Analysis
All data were subjected to ANOVA test and means were compared by the Duncan's. Comparisons with P values B/0.05 were considered significantly different.
Results and discussion
Effect of Salinity on Growth;
Seedling Fresh and dry weight, shoot length and root length of four rapeseed cultivars subjected to 3week salinity treatments are shown in Table1. Cultivars which are considered as salt-tolerant, that is, Zarfam and Modena, showed higher Shoot length, fresh and dry weight at 4 dS [m.sup.-1] salinity level compared to the non-salt-treated plants. The salt sensitive cultivars, Slm04 and Opera, on the other hand, did not show this growth stimulation at moderate salinity level. At 8 dS [m.sup.-1] salinity level Zarfam and Modena cultivars showed higher root length, shoot length, fresh and dry weight than Opera and Slm04. In all cultivars decrease of shoot length in compared to root length was higher.
Effect of salinity on catalase and peroxidase activities
Fig. 1 and Fig.2 showed the effect of increasing level of NaCl salinity on catalase and peroxidase activities of the four rapeseed cultivars after 3 week exposure to salinity. The Results showed that salt stress decrease catalase activity in four rapeseeds cultivars but this decrease was slightly in Zarfam and Modena than other cultivars. In fact decrease of catalase in Zarfam and Modena was very slightly in compared to other cultivars (we can say catalase activity unchanged in salt tolerance rapeseeds cultivars). The salt-tolerant cultivars, Modena and Zarfam showed a increase in peroxidase activity at high salinity level, whereas the salt-sensitive cultivars, Slm04 and Opera, did not show any increase in peroxidase activity at all. In Slm04 Cultivar peroxidase activity unchang under salinity condition and in Opera Cultivar peroxidase activity decrease in compared to non salinity condition.
Effect of salinity on lipid peroxidation, Proline content and electrolyte leakage
The effect of increasing of salinity stress on MDA formation in the leaves of the four rapeseed cultivars after 3 week salinity treatment is shown in Table 2. With increasing level of salinity stress, the MDA content increased in the four cultivars, but this increase was higher in Opera and Slm04 than other cultivars. On the other hand, in Zarfam and Modena did not exhibit strongly increase in lipid peroxidation with a 3 week exposure to salinity stress. The amount of electrolyte leakage from the leaves of the four rapeseed cultivars subjected to increasing level of salinity stress is shown in Table2. Increasing of salinity stress increased the amount of electrolyte leakage from the leaves of Opera and Slm04 but this increase was slowly in Zarfam and Modena. The amount of proline from the leaves of the four rapeseed cultivars subjected to increasing level of salinity stress is shown in Table2. Salinity significantly increase proline content in all rapeseed cultivars but this increase was not significantly in Slm04 and Opera.
Effect of salinity on [Na.sup.+] and [K.sup.+] uptake:
There was a marked varietals difference in the accumulation of [Na.sup.+] and [K.sup.+] in rapeseed leaves in response to salinity. with increasing Stalinization, in all cultivars [Na.sup.+] was increase, but in Zarfam and Slm04 this increase were slowly than other two cultivars. With increasing Stalinization, [K.sup.+] was decrease in all cultivars, but this decrease was slowly in Zarfam Cultivar. Data showed that in Zarfam, [K.sup.+] was higher than other cultivars and Higher [K.sup.+]: [Na.sup.+] ratio showed in Zarfam than other cultivars (Table3).
Morphologically, the most typical symptom of saline injury to a plant is retarded growth due to inhibition of cell elongation [4]. In this study Salinity decrease dry and fresh weight of rapeseed seedling but this decrease was lower in salt tolerance cultivars (Table 1). Researchers reported that accumulation of salts and ions in plant growth environment causes osmotic and drought stress leading to decrease of water absorption by plant tissues. Decrease of tissue water content results in reduction of cellular growth and development. Therefore, restriction of water absorption and its consequences for cellular growth and development is one of the most important causes of decreased growth of stem and root [2,9, 12, 16, 22]. In supporting of our observation, Hernandez et al. [14] reported a dose-dependent reduction in the growth of pea plants subjected to NaCl stress. Similarly, in rice leaves, under higher saline conditions, relative growth rate was decreased in salt sensitive cultivar whereas salt tolerant cultivars exhibited no significant change [13, 28]. Data of this study showed salt stress decrease shoot and root length but this decrease was higher in shoot, especially in salt sensitive cultivars. Bandeoglu et al. [4]showed salt stress decrease root and shoot growth of lentil seedling but decrease of shoot growth was higher than root growth.
Results of the analysis of [Na.sup.+] and [K.sup.+] percentage of leaves of rapeseed cultivars differing in salt tolerance agree with the view that there is an inverse relationship between shoot [Na.sup.+] and [K.sup.+] concentration and salt tolerance [36,38]. The salt-tolerant cultivars Modena and Zarfam did not exhibit a significant increase in [Na.sup.+] accumulation in the leaves even at high salinity level whereas the salt-sensitive cultivars Slm04 and Opera showed pronounced accumulation. Our results showed that salt tolerant cultivars have higher [K.sup.+] concentration and [K.sup.+]: [Na.sup.+] than salt sensitive cultivars. On the other hand, this study showed composite correlation between increase of [K.sup.+] and decrease of Na+ with growth of rapeseed seedling. Ashraf and McNilley [3]. showed that salt stress increase of Na+ and decrease of K+ in shoot of rapeseed and salt tolerance rapeseed have higher [K.sup.+]:[Na.sup.+] ratio than salt sensitive cultivars . Chen et al. [11] studied soybean, wheat, maize and cotton and suggested that Na+ concentration increased with the increase in salinity level in all of these plants. Root Na+ content of cotton which is a salt stress tolerant plant was more than soybean root indicating preservation of [Na.sup.+] in cotton root and lack of Na+ transportation to shoot. Data of this study showed negative correlation between [Na.sup.+] concentrations in shoot of rapeseeds cultivars with MAD concentration and electrolyte leakage and positive correlation between [K.sup.+] concentration and these parameters.
Researchers suggested that [K.sup.+] concentration observed in salt stress tolerant plants were more than that of susceptible cultivars led to decreased [Na.sup.+] toxicity. Increased Na+ content led to decrease in seed germination level and seedling fresh weight in such plants [10, 11,32, 34, 35, 38, 40, 41,42,43]. Morant et al. [21] working on Triticale cultivars suggested that [K.sup.+]:[Na.sup.+] ratio decreased with the increase in salt stress level in growth environment in all of investigated cultivars, however, more increase value was observed among salt stress susceptible plants and reported decreased [K.sup.+] absorption in presence of NaCl as the cause of this observation.
Proline is one of the most important osmoprotectant in plants. Under salt stress most plant species exhibit a remarkable increase in their proline content [4, 12, 16,17]. In our experiments we also observed a similar behavior in the seedling of rapeseeds. Supporting findings come from other plants [35, 3] where salt stress resulted in extensive proline accumulation. In support of our observations, recently in rice roots exposed to NaCl stress, a uniform accumulation of proline was shown to be related with increasing NaCl concentrations [15, 21, 39].
The extent of damage to the membrane was monitored by measuring the amount of MDA produced when polyunsaturated fatty acids in the membrane undergo peroxidation. Membrane structure and properties, this enhanced free radical formation and lipid peroxidation under salt stress in salt-sensitive cultivars may have also brought about an increase in membrane permeability or loss of membrane integrity, as evidenced by the increase in solute leakage (Table 2). Salt stress-induced electrolyte leakage has also been previously observed in foxital millet [32].
An increase in MDA contents upon salt stress has been reported in different plant species [13, 16, 29, 34]. This increase was shown to be related to the amount of stress and well correlated with lipid membrane damage. Our results also demonstrated a marked increase in MDA content in leaves of rapeseeds seedlings but this increase were higher in salt sensitive cultivars. Valentovic et al. [37] showed salinity increase MAD content in corn salt sensitive cultivar but in tolerant cultivar, MAD unchanched. Mansour [19] reported that application of proline prior to salt stress protected plasma membranes of onion cells form stress mediated oxidative damage. Therefore, a higher percentage of increase in proline content and a lower extent of increase in MDA levels of seedling tissues as observed in our study was most probably the possible explanation of a reduced membrane damage of seedling tissues under salinity stress. Data of this study showed positive correlation between low of electrolyte leakage and MDA content with seedling dry weight (data don't show).
Various researchers dealing with plants [30, 39,] have also reported increase in antioxidant enzyme like as peroxidase (POD), super oxide dismutaz (SOD)and catalase activity in salt-tolerance cultivars under salt stress. In tolerant plant species, POD activity was found to be higher, enabling plants to protect themselves against the oxidative stress whereas such activity was not observed in sensitive plants [31]. In the present study, the POD activity significantly increased in Zarfam and Modena but remained unchanged in Slm04 and decrease in Opera. On the other hand, The salt-induced enhancement of POD activity in salt tolerant cultivars indicated that it had a higher capacity for the scavenge ROS. Data of this study showed positive correlation between peroxidase activity and low of MAD. Study of Bandeoglu et al. [4]on Lentil showed under salt stress increase of peroxidase enzyme decrease effect of salt stress on growth of lentil seedling but activity of catalase decrease under salt stress in lentil. Meloni et al. [20] showed under salinity, antioxidant enzyme like as peroxidase increase in salt tolerant cotton variety but in salt sensitive variety peroxidase activity was lower than salt tolerance variety. Increase in peroxidase in salt tolerant variety led to increase of photosynthesis of cotton in compared to salt sensitive variety. Conversely, as observed in this study, in potato rice [18]. Catalase activity did not change under salt stress. Neto et al. [24] showed salt stress reduced catalase activity of corn sensitive cultivar but did not effect on catalase activity of corn resistance cultivar. They suggested that catalase was sensitive antioxidant enzyme in compared to other enzymes such as peroxidase and super oxide desmutase under stress condition.
In conclusion, this study showed that the difference of antioxidant enzyme activities and ion content in the four cultivars could be described to the difference in mechanisms underlying salt stress injury and subsequent tolerance to salinity. Notably Zarfam and Modena cultivars, which exhibited higher salt tolerance, had also higher antioxidant enzyme activity and K+:Na+ ratio than Modena and Opera. Data obtained of this study indicated that the relative NaCl stress tolerance of Zarfam and Modena may be due to a lower rate of peroxidation of its lipids and a higher constitutive activity of antioxidant enzymes. These results confirm that the scavenging system forms the primary defense line in protecting the plant tissue against ROS in rapeseed. MDA is produced when polyunsaturated fatty acids in the membrane undergo peroxidation. The results reported here show that the degree of accumulation of MDA was higher in Opera and Slm04 than in Zarfam and Modena, indicating a high rate of lipid peroxidation in Opera and Slm04 due to salt stress. The lesser degree of membrane damage (as indicated by low MDA content and electrolyte leakage) and the higher activity of peroxidase and catalase observed in NaCl treated plants of Zarfam and Modena indicated that these rapeseed cultivars had a higher capacity for the tolerant salinity in comparison with sensitive cultivars.

Allstate Arena, Glenview, IL
The selection of Chiney Ogwumike and subsequent trade of former MVP Tina Charles marked a historic draft night for the Connecticut Sun, signaling a complete rebuild for a franchise hoping to contend down the road.
It wasn't long ago that the Chicago Sky were in a similar situation, but budding superstar Elena Delle Donne has helped increase expectations despite the absence of two key players.Delle Donne and the Sky look to continue their strong start to the season as they seek a fifth straight victory over the visiting Sun on Wednesday.After finishing last in the Eastern Conference at 10-24 in 2013, Connecticut selected Ogwumike with the No. 1 overall pick and traded Charles to New York for No. 4 overall pick Alyssa Thomas, Kelsey Bone and the Liberty's first-round pick in 2015.The Sun also signed Katie Douglas, who helped lead the franchise to two WNBA Finals appearances from 2003-07, to add a veteran presence to coach Anne Donovan's squad after spending the last six years with Indiana.Ogwumike had 13 points as the Sky shot 30.0 percent in a 75-54 loss to New York in her debut, but nearly helped Connecticut spoil defending champion Minnesota's home opener Sunday. The Stanford product had 25 points, 10 rebounds, four steals and three blocks, yet the Lynx rallied from six down late in regulation and won 90-87 in overtime."They know how to finish games and we're just learning how to do that," Ogwumike said. "I think this is a great gut check that we came out and we didn't fall apart. I'm proud of our effort, but obviously this stings."After missing the playoffs for the first seven years of their existence, the Sky went 24-10 and were the top seed in the East last season while Delle Donne won rookie of the year.Chicago lost in the first round to Indiana, but the turnaround gave it hopes of being able to contend for years to come. Delle Donne scored 23 points in Sunday's 79-65 victory at New York, one night after scoring the same amount in a 74-71 win over the Fever.The Sky have started strong despite being without Sylvia Fowles and Epiphanny Prince. Fowles is recovering from hip surgery and isn't expected back soon, while Prince cited being burned out and plans to be back with Chicago in the coming weeks after taking more time off.Jessica Breland had 13 points and 11 rebounds Sunday, while Courtney Vandersloot added 12 points and eight assists."It's great to get off to a strong start and see other people step up," Delle Donne said.Delle Donne averaged 20.7 points in the first three meetings against the Sun last season before sitting out the last with a foot injury. The Sky swept the season series while winning by an average of 12.5 points.SPONSORED HEADLINES

POSTED: Tuesday, May 31, 2011 - 1:43pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, May 31, 2011 - 1:48pm
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — Over the weekend top chefs competed to be the king of Louisiana seafood cooking. The competition was held in the capitol of cuisine, New Orleans.
Chefs from all over Louisiana put out their best seafood recipes. But only one could be the king - and that was Corey Bahr, Executive Chef of Sage Restaurant in Monroe.
"We did a north delta bouillabaisse," Bahr said just moments after the announcement of his big win. "We used four different sustainable Louisiana seafood products. We cooked them simply, served them simply, and came away with the win, which was incredible."
The competition was sponsored by the Louisiana Seafood Marketing Board.
Second place went to Diana Chauvin from La Thai Uptown in New Orleans. Third place went to Keith Frentz of Lola Restaurant in Covington.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A cease and desist letter, also known as "infringement letter" or "demand letter," is an aggressive-toned document sent to an individual or business to halt purportedly unlawful activity ("cease") and not take it up again later ("desist"). The letter may warn that if the recipient by deadlines set in the letter does not cease and desist specified conduct, or take certain actions, that party may be sued.[1][2] The letter may demand money as payment for damages, attorneys' fees and costs.
In most jurisdictions sending a cease and desist letter is not required as a prelude to litigation, as the victim of an infringement may simply file a lawsuit.[citation needed] However, if a letter contains terms and conditions to fully resolve the matter, the sender will agree not to file suit if the recipient complies with the sender's demands.[citation needed]
Although cease and desist letters are not exclusively used in the area of intellectual property, such letters "are frequently utilized in disputes concerning intellectual property and represent an important feature of the intellectual property law landscape."[2] The holder of an intellectual property right such as a copyrighted work, a trademark, or a patent, may send the cease and desist letter to inform a third party "of the right holders' rights, identity, and intentions to enforce the rights."[2] The letter may merely contain a licensing offer, or may be an explicit threat of a lawsuit. A cease and desist letter often triggers licensing negotiations, and is a frequent first step towards litigation.[2]
Receiving numerous cease and desist letters may be very costly for the recipient. Each claim in the letters has to be evaluated, and it should be decided whether to answer to the letters, "whether or not to obtain an attorney's opinion letter, prepare for a lawsuit, and perhaps initiate [in case of letters regarding a potential patent infringement] a search for alternatives and the development of design-around technologies."[2]
Cease and desist letters are sometimes used to intimidate recipients and can be "an effective tool used by corporations to chill the critical speech of gripe sites operators."[3] A company owning a trademark may send such letter to a gripe site operator alleging a trademark infringement, although the actual use of the trademark by the gripe site operator may fall under a fair use exception (in compliance with, in the U.S., the protection of free speech under the First Amendment).[3]

Google is investing in thousands of women and minorities already in tech to advance their skills.
The search giant, in collaboration with its third annual techmakers programme, has teamed up with Code School to provide thousands of the online learning platform's paid accounts for free.
Code School's CEO, Gregg Pollack, said Google will pay for three months for select women and minorities already working in IT, in efforts to expand their skills.
"Today, a quarter of IT roles are held by women, and African Americans only make up about 3% of scientists and engineers," he said.
"The situation is clear: we have a long way to go in order to create a diverse, open and inclusive tech community. And while there is no silver bullet, we're excited to work with Google on this piece of the educational puzzle."
The offer comes after Google recently published its diversity report, which revealed that women make up 17% of Google's tech employees, while African-Americans and Hispanics make up 1% and 2% respectively.
Pollack added: "Code School offers a large number of courses that cater to intermediate to experienced developers (in addition to beginner courses). This includes a number of Google-related technology courses such as Shaping Up With Angular.js, Exploring Google Maps for iOS, Discover Drive and Discover DevTools."

In the heart of the city of Siena, Hotel Minerva is the ideal starting point to discover all the wonders that make it one of the most fascinating areas of Tuscany.
Siena is famous worldwide for the Palio, the horse race of medieval origin that sees the ring to run the districts of Piazza del Campo.
The path in the name of art reveals the masterpieces of Duccio, Simone Martini, Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti and the great masters of the Sienese school of painting held in major museums and palaces.
The walls surrounding the old town make Siena a perfect example of a medieval city: the charm of architecture is visible in buildings, such as Rocca Salimbeni and the Public Palace, Piazza del Campo with its monuments, the Cathedral, the Baptistery and other religious buildings .
Along the main streets of the medieval town, old food shops, taverns, restaurants and wine bars keep the ingredients, products and recipes of traditional Tuscan food and wine.

"We either have to maintain, or retain ownership in some heifers, and build the cow herd back, or we lose infrastructure, and we're getting on the cusp of starting to lose some infrastructure in our business. Packing plants, feed lots, will go out of business because we don't have enough numbers to keep them open."
Ron Gill is a livestock specialist with Texas Agrilife Extension.
"That's troubling, because as the population and demand grows, as the economy recovers, we won't have enough to supply that, and so we may lose customers to other products, just because we can't supply them at an economical price."
Randy Blach is a cattle marketing consultant.
"Once we lose that market share, or that per capita consumption level, obviously we open the door for pork and poultry to increase their market share, and that would be my big concern."
Demand for beef is still good.
"We've seen people buying good steaks and taking them home and cooking them, because it's more economical to do so, so the economy has shifted where it's prepared, and one of the problems we have is some of our good steak houses are really struggling, and that's another part of that infrastructure we don't want to lose, because that adds value to our product."
Blach is optimistic.
"We're going to have twenty seven million more people in the U.S. to feed in the next decade. We're going to have seven hundred million more people to feed globally in the next decade, so when you look at that for beef getting it's share, particularly as we see consumers around the world see their per capita income start to rise, that's a great opportunity for the U.S. beef industry."

Slasher films were criticized for focusing on the killer's pursuit of his victims, who were "mostly naked women running scared," says Holly Derr in Ms. Magazine. But modern remakes, such as "Halloween," have turned "women's bodies into ever-more irrelevant carnage" by focusing "the camera on the act of violence itself," she says.

Hi All, Finally got my hands on some T-58 so I'm wanting to use it in a brew. Basically these are the ingredients I want to use: I've got 1.4kg's of sorghum syrup plus dark candi syrup T-58 yeast http://www.fermentis.com/fo/pdf/HB/E...ew_T-58_HB.pdf 1kg of morello cherries in sugar and water (would like put in the primary after cold crashing) Cocoa and cold pressed coffee Also got some other ingredients at home I can use. Maltodextrine Dark Brown sugar Fuggles Hallertaur Saaz 3.5%AA And I can get BRS pretty cheap 1/2kg for $3.60
That's bread yeast. Look at it sitting there, all depressed. Listless. Beer yeast doesn't look like that. It has hopes. Dreams. Something to look forward to...
I looked at it originally but don't know enough to have any input for styles and tastes. I'm mostly interested in how it will turn out. Chocolate cherry sounds like a good flavor to me.
I think I got a little lost with this one, but this is the recipe I've formulated. 1.4KG's Sorghum Syrup @ 60mins 2.5KG's rice malt @ 60mins 1KG of honey @ 60mins 4oz maltodextrine @ 60mins 4oz cocoa @ 60mins 0.75oz Perle @ 60mins 0.75oz Saaz @ 15 mins Cold pressed coffee @ flameout (still debating the use of this one) *cold crash* T-58 yeast Open to any advice you might have.
Cloudy doesn't really hurt anythng as far as I know it's just aestetic. And I was under the impression the pectic enzyme only works if the fruit was boiled allowing the pectin to be gelatinized. I've done a few strawberry beers. I blanched the 4 # of berrries before racking over them in the primary.

Wii U
There is no reason to own a Wiiu

As of right now there is no compelling reason to own a Wiiu thus the poor sales. There is no AAA exclusive title on the system as of right now and won't be in the near future. Nintendo needs to give people who own a Wii reason to upgrade. Right now there isn't one. Is that mean there's no need buy ps4? ps4 launch lineup sucks. | |
Right now? Nope. Although I DID turn it on a few days ago...to run the update. Then I shut it off again. Though I may turn it on again to see if it really does now upscale Wii games. Love to play Xenoblade with upscaled graphics. ... Hey Sony & Microsoft, ya hear that? Make yer stinkin' machines backward compatible with yer PS3/360 games! The only reason ya have in not doin' so is ta rip-off yer customers by makin' 'em PAY for the games they already bought before as an over-sized download! LOVE ta see how long it takes ta download Ar Tonelico 3 an' L.A. Noir...an' how fast yer customers blow past their download caps ta do so! Ya Jerks! --- "It's all just a game, so let loose and have fun with it! I mean, a casualty or two along the way is no big deal, right?" Natephil - Do you not poop? | |
Fou Lu posted... airfoemoe posted...Bayonetta 2 is Nintendo's big gamble. I wonder how much did they pay them? Like how many copies does it take before it's profitable. if Nintendo budgeted accordingly it might not be that big of a risk, but i doubt they did, kind of like how SE thought Tomb Raider would magically sell 4x more than it ever did. | |
I'm pretty sure everyone realizes this. However there is a small group of people who enjoy the games currently available on the system. That small group pretty much makes up this board. There isn't anything wrong with that either, it's just that 99% of people have no reason to buy this/will never buy this. | |
I for one believe wii success came for the hundreds of videos of wii remote > 50+in tv, now if people start to replicate that using wii u, that'll give everyone a reason to buy one! Yes? --- Ha! Made you read. | |
New Super Mario Bros. U Zombi U Nintendo Land Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Lego City: Undercover Scribblenauts And The Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3 are coming out this summer. And it makes Wii games look better. | |
TeraPatrick2008 posted... there is no reason to own anything! Shelter is pretty important as well. Unless you want to be killed by the weather at some point. | |
What makes the Wii U next-gen? The release date? --- Xfire = crazycast2 | |
shendude posted... What makes the Wii U next-gen? The release date? Essentially. It all goes by "era". For example, the Neo Geo was far more advanced than the SNES/Genesis. But it's considered part of the same generation because of when it was released. Those who whine about "It's not next-gen because it isn't pretty enough!" don't really understand what next-gen means. These are also typically the same people who believe that ratings of 7 = average (from Metacritic), even if the person/site giving the score explicitly states that 7 = Good and 5 = Average. Just roll your eyes and ignore them. --- "It's all just a game, so let loose and have fun with it! I mean, a casualty or two along the way is no big deal, right?" Natephil - Do you not poop? | |
It has/will have games on it that aren't on other consoles. And since most good games on PS3/360/whatever are on PC, I get them on PC. Therefore, to play games that I do/will enjoy, I have reason to own a WiiU. Also, since my regular Wii broke back in 2011, I needed a new/fixed one. Wasn't going to pay for a Wii that couldn't play Cube games, so waited it out for something worthwhile. My opinions anyway. --- Chozz~ of course you get distracted, there are boobs in your house that don't belong to your mother The_Cloudy_One~ ^_^ |
