TrakEM2 is an ImageJ plugin for morphological data mining, three-dimensional modeling and image stitching, registration, editing and annotation.
See TrakEM2 snapshots for an overview.
- Segmentation: manually draw areas across stacks, and sketch structures with balls and pipes. Skeletonize entire neuronal arborizations and represent synapses with relational connector objects.
- Measurements: volumes, surfaces, lengths, and also measurements via ImageJ ROIs.
- Image Registration: register floating image tiles to each other using SIFT and global optimization algorithms.
- 3D Visualization: interacting with the 3D Viewer plugin, TrakEM2 displays image volumes and 3D meshes of all kinds.
- Image Annotation: floating text labels.
- Semantic segmentation: order segmentations in tree hierarchies, whose template is exportable for reuse in other, comparable projects.
TrakEM2 interacts with the 3D Viewer for visualization of image volumes and 3D meshes.

Running fiji for heavy-duty, memory-intensive, high-performance TrakEM2 tasks
The following configuration has been tested in a machine with 8 CPU cores and 16 Gb of RAM, running Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy", with a 1.6.0_16 or newer JVM:
./ImageJ-linux64 -Xms10g -Xmx10g -Xincgc -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:NewRatio=5 -XX:CMSTriggerRatio=50 -XX:+UseCompressedOops --
Put all the above in one line.
What the JVM flags mean:
- -Xms10g : use an initial heap size of 10 Gb (i.e. start fiji with 10 Gb of RAM preallocated to it)
- -Xmx10g: use a maximum heap size of 10 Gb. Note it's the same amount as the intial heap size, so that the heap cannot be resized.
- -Xincgc : use the incremental garbage collector. Clean up unused memory in the concurrent mark-sweep generation (i.e. not the super-new generation of allocated objects) using parallel threads.
- -XX:MaxPermSize=256m : set the heap size allocated to objects that don't need to be garbage often to 256 Mb. The default is only 32 Mb, which proves insufficient.
- -XX:PermSize=256m : preallocate the heap for the permanent objects directly to the desired maximum, 256 Mb, so it doesn't ever have to be resized.
- -XX:NewRatio=5 : Set the ratio of ephemeral versus more long-lived objects to 5 (the default is 9 or more in 64-bit Sun JVMs).
- -XX:CMSTriggerRatio=50 : run the parallel garbage collector when the ratio of free versus non-free heap space is 50 % (the default is 92% in 64-bit JVM, which may incur in pauses and undesirable full sweeps).
- -XX:+UseCompressedOops : use 32-bit pointers when possible, in a 64-bit JVM. This can cut the memory footprint by half in many cases.
- The ending double hyphen "--" is to specify all of these are JVM arguments, not fiji/ImageJ arguments.
With the above settings, we have succesfully registered 33,000 image tiles corresponding to 459 serial sections, using the "Align multi-layer mosaic" TrakEM2 command.
Preparing TrakEM2 for best performance
For fastest browsing through layers
Right-click on the canvas and choose "Display - Properties...". Then make sure that:
- "snapshots mode" is set to "Disabled", or at most to "Outlines".
- "Prepaint" is not checked, so that it is disabled.
For importing large collections of images and editing them immediately afterwards
The goal is to avoid generating mipmaps multiple times, which may be very time consuming.
Right-click on the canvas and choose "Display - Properties...". Then make sure that:
- "enable mipmaps" is not checked, so that it is disabled.
Beware that you will not be able to browse quickly through layers while importing, given that mipmaps will not be generated.
Now to correct the contrast, first re-enable mipmaps by going again to "Display - Properties..." and checking the "enable mipmaps" checkbox. Then you have two general (non-exclusive) options:
A. Use the built-in commands from the right-click menu, such as:
- "Adjust images - Enhance contrast layer-wise"
- "Adjust images - Set min and max layer-wise"
B. Create a preprocessor script and set it to all images. For example, a beanshell script to run CLAHE on each image. In the script, the patch and imp variables exist automatically, and represent the Patch instance and the ImagePlus instance that the Patch wraps, respectively.
import ij.IJ; IJ.run(imp, "Enhance Local Contrast (CLAHE)", "blocksize=127" + " histogram=256 maximum=3 mask=*None* fast_(less_accurate)");
To set the script to all images, save the above to a file named "whatever.bsh" (notice the filename extension ".bsh") and then right-click on the TrakEM2 canvas and choose "Script - Set preprocessor script layer-wise", and choose the whole range of layers. This will set the script to every image of every layer, and trigger mipmap regeneration for every image. When TrakEM2 loads the image, the script will run on the image before TrakEM2 ever sees its contents.
The preprocessor script gives you maximum power: do whatever you want with the image. For example, normalize the image relative to a known good mean and standard deviation for your data set.
For regenerating mipmaps the fastest possible
The default generation of mipmaps is done with are averaging, and is pretty fast. Still, you may want to consider parallelizing it: go to "Project - Properties...", and set the mipmap threads to the number of cores in your machine, for example 12.
Stop reading if you are satisfied with the default quality of scaled images in TrakEM2.
If you choose to generate mipmaps using Gaussians, go to "Project - Properties...", and set the mipmaps mode to "Gaussian". Then, you must take care of the following:
In TrakEM2 0.9a and later, the mipmaps machinery can use a multi-threaded Gaussian implementation now present in the latest ImageJ. This means that now there are two sets of threads:
- The set of threads, where each thread regenerates the mipmap pyramid of a single image.
- The set of threads that performs Gaussian blurring for downsampling, for each scaling iteration in the generation of the mipmap pyramid.
If your machine has 12 cores, the default settings will use 1 thread for mipmaps and 12 threads for gaussian blurring. This may not fit your data properties: you may end up waiting long times for mipmap generation if your images are small.
Two strategies are possible for accelerating Gaussian-based generation of mipmaps:
- Strategy A: your data consists of large images (over 4000x4000). Right-click on the TrakEM2 display and choose "Project - Properties...", and set the mipmap threads to 1 (the default). Now, mipmaps will be regenerated for one single image at a time, using 12 threads (given 12 cores) for computing the Gaussians.
- Strategy B: your data consists of small images (smaller than 4000x4000). Go to the Fiji window and select "Edit - Options - Memory & Threads...", and set the number of threads to 1. Then, go to "Project - Properties...", and set the mipmap threads to 12. Now, mipmaps will be regenerated for 12 images at a time (given 12 cores), using a single thread for each to compute the Gaussians.
Use strategy A as well if your computer has little RAM, or if access to the images is slow and contentious (such as if the data lives in a USB hard drive). That's why the default is one single thread for generating mipmaps.
If you change the method for generating mipmaps to a non-Gaussian method, the above situation does not occur. Set the number of threads for regenerating mipmaps to the number of cores, or less if your computer doesn't have much RAM.
How much RAM should I allocate to the JVM for Fiji to run TrakEM2?
Use a computer that follows this rule of thumb: take the largest single 2D image in your dataset, then multiply its size by 10, and make sure that every core of your CPU has at least that much RAM available to it.
For example, for a 4096x4096 16-bit image you will need at least 335 Mb per core, so at least 5.4 Gb of RAM for 16 cores. 8 Gb would likely work better. 32 Gb will be a pleasure to use.
As for a graphics card buy the largest you can afford, both in computing power and in internal memory.

About Hong Kong
Cruise Shipping Asia-Pacific 2014 will be held at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre in Hong Kong. Click here for venue information.
Situated on the southeast coast of China, Hong Kong's strategic location on the Pearl River Delta and South China Sea has made it one of the world's most thriving and cosmopolitan cities and a center for international trade.
As a reflection of this, the heart of Asia's world city has always been the bustling and beautiful Victoria Harbour. Hong Kong Island lies to the south of the harbor, while the Kowloon Peninsula forms its northern shores. To the north of Kowloon lies the New Territories, which stretch all the way to Mainland China. Hong Kong is also home to more than 200 Outlying Islands, including Lantau Island, where Hong Kong International Airport is located.
Plus, the thriving cruise industry is no more evident than with Hong Kong's state-of-the-art cruise terminals. The brand new Kai Tak Cruise Terminal and Ocean Terminal deposit you close to all the action in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong can mostly thank its colonial history and international harbour for the rich blend of cultures that give it its unique character. While the majority of the city's population are Chinese speakers, simply walking the streets will expose you to a medley of Asian and European languages, and English is widely spoken.
November Weather
There are pleasant breezes, plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures. Many people regard this as the best month of the year to visit Hong Kong. Average temperature: 19 – 28 degrees celsius.

Isaac Lucking lived a life for others
Looking back on the life of Isaac Lucking, one thing is clear: he lived to help others. He was a chauffeur, an extra hand on a project, a friend. And he always had a way of making people happy.
"He was born with one heck of a grin," said his mother, Patty.
His nickname, "Tubby," came from a mock presidential campaign he and his friends ran back in 2008. They had T-shirts made to represent themselves as candidates; Isaac's read "Tubba-love."

FRIDAY, April 26 (HealthDay News) -- Psychopaths lack the brain "wiring" needed to have concern for other people, a new study suggests.
The findings are thought to be the first of their kind and could possibly lead to the development of better treatment methods for people with this personality disorder. Psychopathy includes traits such as callousness, manipulation, sensation-seeking and antisocial behaviors.
Psychopathy affects 20 percent to 30 percent of men and women in U.S. prisons, compared with about 1 percent of the general population. Psychopaths are responsible for a disproportionate amount of repeat crime and violence.
The study included 80 prisoners, aged 18 to 50, in a U.S. correctional facility who were assessed for levels of psychopathy. The researchers then used functional MRI to monitor the prisoners' brain activity in response to depictions of people being intentionally hurt and facial expression showing pain.
Prisoners who had high levels of psychopathy had lower-than-normal activation in areas of the brain including the amygdala, which plays an important role in feeling concern for and valuing the well-being of other people, according to the study, which was published online April 24 in the journal JAMA Psychiatry.
"A marked lack of empathy is a hallmark characteristic of individuals with psychopathy," study lead author Jean Decety, a professor of psychology and psychiatry at the University of Chicago, said in a university news release.
Decety is an expert on the biological basis of empathy.
"This is the first time that neural processes associated with empathic processing have been directly examined in individuals with psychopathy, especially in response to the perception of other people in pain or distress," he said.

Assuming you can change chokes, you should be able to shoot skeet with this gun. You could always pick up an extra barrel for trap & skeet. Short barrels are great for HD and turkey hunting. However a longer barrel provides a better sight radius, follow through etc. for wing shooting. High end trap guns often have 30 inch barrels. But a 26 or 28 will bust clays.
It could but it wouldn't be ideal. Especially if it has a pistol grip and a shortened barrel. That and benelli barrels are expensive. Its a great HD gun however. I'm currently looking into one to have around as I don't really have any shorter barrel shotguns and I love the action of the benelli.

Jol - Berbatov won't be sold
04 May 2007 - 08:19:23
Tottenham head coach Martin Jol insists Dimitar Berbatov will not be sold this summer, even though the Bulgarian striker has been linked with both Chelsea and Manchester United.
The 26-year-old has enjoyed a successful first season in England, finding the net 21 times in 40 starts for Spurs.
Last summer Jol sold Michael Carrick to Manchester United for £18.6million and there are rumours that Berbatov could be another big-money White Hart Lane exit in the next three months.
However, Jol said: "I have no fears. To nobody and in no circumstances [will Berbatov be sold] The chairman wouldn't sanction it even if I would like to.
"We always keep our best players, 99 per cent over the last five or six years, even before my time and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't.
"We've made a lot of profit over the last six months so we don't have to sell players. You can only say what will happen at the end of the season but he tells everybody that he's very happy here.
"I feel Dimitar can improve a lot with the team. He can easily score 30, 35 goals in all competitions. There is much more to come from him and I feel we are probably not far off [seeing him at his best].
"Some other teams give their strikers a lot of service and assists. We've got Aaron Lennon, for example, but Lennon has only been 20-years-old for two weeks.
"There is a lot more to come from the team and from Berbatov because he is such a good finisher, believe me. He can score at least 35 goals."

Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla.
Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market.
This is a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SGN-CD19A in adult and pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), Burkitt lymphoma or leukemia, or B-lineage lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL).

The rationale for this trial is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of allogeneic HCT for patients with chemotherapy-sensitive hematological malignancies and coincident HIV-infection. In particular, the trial will focus on the 100-day non-relapse mortality as an indicator of the safety of transplant in this patient population. Correlative assays will focus upon the incidence of infectious complications in this patient population, the evolution of HIV infection and immunological reconstitution. Where feasible (and when this can be accomplished without compromise of either the donor quality or the timeliness of transplantation), an attempt will be made to identify donors who are homozygotes for the delta32 mutation for CCR5.

Comments about Koso XR-SR Electronic Speedometer:
wired up easily came with good instructions. however there is a delay with the rpm, it takes about two seconds to read and show your rpm. Also i wired it up correctly and the gas gauge doesn't work, i checked up on forums about this and i guess it's a common problem with this one, maybe the instructions got it wrong? also the shipping was promised to be 2 days, it took a little over a week for mine to be shipped.

text: Smile lots and laugh more. (Ciel x Dying!Reader)'Becoming of age was tough for a women in this time, I had come to learn. You had either needed to find work or elope with a suitor; but that was for the extremely wealthy families.. which mine was not one of those. No, we were not poor but we weren't rich either, sure I could have gotten a betrothed and lived out a happy, solid life with kids but I couldn't ever see myself doing something of that. I wanted to travel the world, see everything life had to offer on earth, sadly my family could not fund it. They told me, that if I wanted to travel I would have to find work and save up. And looking for work is exactly what I did, although many people did not want to hire a woman and for most I was far to young for them to trust me with their children. Soon I had come to loss on what to do, I could stay with my family no more for they could not afford to take care of me, themselves and the new baby they had on the way...Until one day I had received a letter from one of my grandparents f

Sideburns can also be used strategically to balance your facial features and complement your hair style.

john v. mutlow, faia, architects, los angeles
West Boulevard's boldly striped entry and mix of unit types captured the judges' attention and imagination. "Anybody who has the guts to design that entry gets my vote," said one. Architect John Mutlow says the Dr. Seuss-style stripes and exaggerated roof on the project's entry perform multiple duties. "The other buildings on the street are vividly colored," he says. "The stripes are a way of referencing that context. I also wanted the beginning and end of the building to be clearly articulated; that's why the other end is painted purple."
Other important factors in the project's design include an interior courtyard where the residents can socialize, and an edge condition at the street similar to that of the surrounding buildings. Mutlow combined 12 one-bedroom apartments, two two-bedroom apartments, and six two-bedroom townhouses to create a vibrant community that proudly defies convention.

Contra-Bandy ch18If Shawn had gone with me, I might not have felt so stupid. That sort of things happened a lot, and I was starting to realize it was not because he took up all of the Stupid in the room. In fact, the truth was "You're back," Caroline said, smiling and actually waving a little. Angie had gone back to reading her book, but with no semblance of peace or even comfort. Her shoulders were hunched, and she took a noticeably long time to turn a page. She didn't look up at me.I nodded, and walked wistfully over to the couch. I say 'wistfully', but really it was just a dizzy sort of totter quieted down for the girls' sake and my own pride. They were like lionessesshow any sign of weakness, and they would pounce on it. "I had to get something," I lied, something less than smooth about it.This drew a snort from Angie, who still didn't look up from her book. I had a feeling that she woul
Color Me InAfter the mostly pleasant chaos of Giovanni's house, my flat felt dreadfully dull. I didn't want to mope, though, so I decided to spend Sunday cleaning up a bit. By the time I thought of it, it was too far into the evening to lug my things down to the laundry. There were still plenty of other chores I had been putting off, though. I started with the least disgusting. Even if I couldn't wash any dirty clothes until tomorrow, I could at least gather them up.Unfortunately, this didn't take long. I really was infernally tidy, and I hadn't been in a mood to toss my clothes anywhere but in the laundry basket lately. I gave it a little kick and wished I hadn't spent so much of the morning sleeping in, even though some of my friends would have argued that it was what Sundays were for. The rest of the day had been given over to homework and the realization that I had actually begun to understand maths.Alth
Inevitable XIn the first five seconds after Van rushed off, three things happened. I unfroze myself enough to hold my stinging cheek and slide down the wall, the door swung gently shut with a painful click, and the phone rang. The first was the only thing I could actually deal with, but I managed to answer the phone after two more rings."Hello?" Ugh, I sounded so pathetic. Like pond scum drudged out of a mud sucker's nose er, gills." Where's Van?"Fuck everythingI knew that voice. A growl started at the back of my mouth, but I held it in check. The last thing I needed to do was get in to a shouting match with the green-haired bastard. Especially since he always won somehow. "He's not here," I said evenly, gritting my teeth.Christian made some kind of whistling noise as he breathed in. I hoped it was because he was having an asthma attack. "Why isn't he at home at luncht
Vesi Vanhin Voitehista 8A dark figure visible through the window grew larger as Taivuttaa leaned back into the chair, his legs were telling him to run again, on a Salugi-Eszme-related level. He stayed where he was, looking away from the window to search Novi's face for an answer.The man was chewing his bottom lip, eyes riveted to the window. Half a second after Taivuttaa had spoken, Novi had leapt to his feet, pulling Taivuttaa with him. "Come on," he said, calm, but urgent nonetheless."What's""Pray you won't find out firsthand." They were already out of the bathroom and headed for the office. "I'll explain later, if I can. For now, we just have to get the hell out of here."Taivuttaa held his tongue and allowed himself to be pulled through the office, taking no comfort in the bright colors and cheerful order of the room. In the brief moments it took to half-run from one door to the other, the affected normalcy of it seemed

Dear people in the world,
I am normal. Well relatively normal to all of you out there (I find it hard to define that word, since everyone has a different personality.) And as I look around, I see more normal people surrounding me, with the same normal and average thoughts that everyone has. Yes I'm not particularly "famous" or "well known" but I'm a standard person that has just as many thoughts, troubles, and backbone as someone who IS famous.
Every person that is average is simply that: average. There is nothing more than that. But the huge misconception that I find people believe is that the word average, means the same thing as worthless. There are so many people in the world that compare themselves to others and look at others' achievements and not see their own achievements. And what that automatically means to people (or at least some of the people I know) is that those people that they look up to are more important, and have bigger problems, and put themselves down for it. When I do this (and I see my friends do this too) weird thoughts go through my head like: people probably wouldn't care about what seemingly little troubles happen in my life. This is sort of a self-discrimination, and we don't consider the importance of our own lives and our own problems. We see others as being the courageous ones, the ones that face huge predicaments, when all of us have our own triumphs and our own guts we use every day. People don't see their own courageousness but noticing it is an important skill that you need to have to have a healthy amount of self confidence, happiness, and motivation to continue being courageous.
No matter what we might think of our own worries, we can't help but notice them. To really be a NORMAL person you should have worries. From the small things, like nervousness before you take a test, or going to school for the first time; and slightly larger things like standing up to a bully, or even a friend if you think something they are doing to a person is wrong. And as always everyone will eventually have to face very large fears, like a fear of death. Some people have a fear of themselves dying, and some have a fear of others they love dying. Not everyone has these fears, but they are very common, and there are many other similar fears. Because of the commonality of these fears, we face them almost every day. And no matter how you look at it, facing any sort of fear, no matter how small, takes some courage. I bet if you ask anyone, just anyone you know, and ask them if they have a fear (you don't have to ask them what it is) they will say yes and it would seem rather strange if they didn't. Your fears or no less important than any other person's, no matter how "ridiculous" they seem, because part of being human, is having weird ideas, thoughts, and those can lead to weird fears (like some people have a fear of being chased around a dining room table being chased by wolves with peanut butter on the roof of their mouths.)
There are definitely other things in life besides fears that take courage, and you may not have suspected them. One thing I've found to take courage is the virtue of moderation. Let's say that you are depressed. That's a very common feeling, and I've felt at least a little depressed at times. No one likes to be depressed, and it can be very damaging, but in order to get out of your mood you have to look yourself and feelings straight in the face, and control your feelings. It takes courage to look at yourself and see what you're doing in that sad time and tell yourself to suck it up and control yourself. That's a VERY difficult thing to do, but the only way to mature yourself, to reflect and improve yourself, to fulfill the virtue of moderation, is to gather up the courage to face your own emotion. It takes courage to stand up to any emotion of course, not just depression, but anger, and self-pride. It takes a whole lot of strength, and bravery to open your mind and calm yourself to become a better person.
Seeing as all of these things can happen during life, it can take lots of boldness to keep on going with everyday life. That's not to say that good things don't happen in life, but there is the possibility of having a "bad day." And since the average person is well, living, everyone has a bit of adventurousness in their character. If you're reading this letter, then I don't think you can deny that you're living.
Everyone needs to give themselves some credit for having a bit of courage. You face the light of day, and the darkness of night. You face whatever comes at you during the day, and heck, I don't think there's any way of predicting what will happen to you. So stick your chin up, and have some self-confidence in your own bravery. We have courage for the most unexpected things.
Your fellow adventurer,

From the podium
His Excellency David Kirvalidze (Minister for Agriculture and Food of Georgia)
Mr Director-General, Mr Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, Please allow me to present my compliments and thanks for the opportunity to participate in this exceptionally important summit. We are targeting a major problem of humanity, how to fight hunger to reduce poverty and to accelerate progress towards the achievement of food security for all. Unfortunately, progress in reaching the objective is still far too slow. Almost 800 million people remain chronically undernourished. These are 800 million reasons for everyone concerned to intensify our efforts, to demonstrate the political will to put an end to hunger, this profound violation of basic human rights. Most of the vulnerable countries suffering malnutrition and food insecurity generally face, or have just recently faced, civil unrest and recurrent natural disasters as well as economic underdevelopment. Unfortunately, my home country, a transition economy, remains among those nations at risk. The most valuable resources to fight the evil are investments to build the foundations for sustainable, long-term economic growth and so the overall development of agricultural production. Georgia has one of the oldest traditions of settled agriculture in the world, and today agriculture is the main pillar of the Georgian economy, accounting for an increasing share of GDP, now about 30 percent. This sector also occupies around 55 percent of the total employed population. Domestic agricultural output could be expanded significantly through improved government policies, better farm management and more effective marketing. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of Georgia is the main government agency involved in the market-oriented reform of agriculture and food processing now underway in Georgia. From being an autocratic commander of all agricultural activities, the Ministry is transforming itself into an institution promoting and supporting the activity of private producers to increase agricultural incomes, expand production and facilitate exports. We are actively working to reform agricultural taxation. Other priority reforms being adopted include new banking and credit arrangements in rural areas, which is essential, development of the processing industry, new policy for export promotion, support for environmentally sound agriculture, creation of an extension service, and much else. We believe that agriculture, the largest and currently one of the most vibrant sectors of the Georgian economy, will continue to be a key source of sustainable economic growth and so ensure food security and help reduce poverty in the country. The main strategy is to strengthen Georgia's independence by using its agri-food sector potential to meet domestic demand and increase income from exports. But, unfortunately, the stability of developing and traditional economies is fragile. When natural disasters occur they can be catastrophic, as the extremely severe impact of the extended drought in the spring and summer of 2000 and 2001 in Georgia shows. The drought almost completely destroyed the major crops and completely ruined the winter pastures. The lack of forecasting systems and the absence of savings among farmers, as well as the poor functioning of the insurance system, significantly worsened the impact of this drought. However, the drought has demonstrated the urgency of well-aimed reforms in this sector. At these difficult moments, I am delighted to say that the governments of friendly countries and various international donor organizations immediately responded to Georgia's appeal for assistance and provided indispensable support. I am particularly pleased to again express deep gratitude to FAO, which did an outstanding job of coordinating and directing the flow of international humanitarian aid to the most affected areas of Georgia. Of course, the role of FAO in the rehabilitation and development of Georgian agriculture is not limited to emergency activities only. FAO is now carrying out the sector rehabilitation project in Georgia. They are very important for us since they created solid foundations for sustainable agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Government of Georgia place very serious emphasis on the sustainable growth of the Georgian economy. The agricultural sector is a key source of growth in other countries with economies in transition as well. These countries now face the challenge of revitalizing the traditional areas of national agriculture, utilizing local potential and natural resources and developing the processing industry. These goals can be achieved only with powerful support from the international community and, particularly, FAO which has never abandoned them even during the most difficult times and continues to actively monitor the situation. I believe that the Georgian Government, as well as other governments' decisive steps to reform and restructure agricultural activities, should be combined with the international community's on-going support through humanitarian aid and technical assistance programmes that not just feed the vulnerable population (thus it is very important, too), but target the sustainable development of various sub-sectors of the country's agriculture, make people work and earn by themselves. This will enable us not only to be freed of burning problems like hunger, undernourishment, food insecurity, etc., but encourage economic growth, enhance the quality of life and participate in the world economy as an equal. FAO remains the main catalyst of worldwide agricultural improvement and we should support it in turn. Georgia faces a number of serious economic difficulties today. But my country is a part of the international community and actively participates in combating global problems. The united efforts of the whole world can make it possible to move faster towards the goals set by the first World Food Summit. There is nothing that cannot be achieved when we work together. I would like to remind you of an old saying about the Soviet and Soviet times. There was a general question about what happened in the Soviet Union and Japan when fish disappears from the supermarket and the response that the Soviets immediately start to have meetings and continue meetings and more meetings and the Japanese go to the sea to fish. So we definitely need to start with action. We should adopt more urgent, targeted measures quickly, set priorities, not simply to assign humanitarian aid but provide the assistance and investments needed to build the foundations for sustainable long-term economic growth, constantly monitor progress and change our actions if necessary. It would be much more efficient if beneficiaries of international assistance could be gradually transformed from passive consumers to active partners in order to participate in handling and combating the problems themselves. Then, I am convinced, we will attain the goal: universal observance of the fundamental human right of access to safe and abundant food for all.

Former Castle standout Saiko now a starter for baseball power South Carolina
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Graham Saiko didn't take long to prove he belonged in the starting lineup at the University of South Carolina, one of the best college baseball programs in the country.
It just took the Castle High School graduate a few years to finally slip on a Gamecocks cap and jersey after first making stops at Oklahoma State and Tallahassee Community College.
"This is a great place to be," said Saiko, a redshirt junior who is the starting left fielder and the Gamecocks' leadoff hitter. "I'm glad I can get out there every day and help this team win
"When you come here you know the facilities are obviously top notch and there's not a better baseball program in the country — going to the last three College World Series and winning two out of three (national championships). It's hard to want to go somewhere else right now."
After two often frustrating years at Oklahoma State — he redshirted in 2010 and only played in a handful of games as a freshman in 2011 — Saiko revived his career with an outstanding season at TCC last year.
That's where he caught the eye of current South Carolina head coach Chad Holbrook, who took over the program after Ray Tanner was named the school's athletic director.
Midway through fall practices, Holbrook knew he had to find a spot in the lineup for Saiko. "He just has that 'it' factor and just knows how to play," Holbrook told the Big Spur publication in September.
Saiko was recruited by most schools as an infielder following an outstanding season at shortstop for TCC, where he was named the Panhandle Conference Defensive Player of the Year after posting a .958 fielding percentage with just 10 errors in 239 chances. But Holbrook knew Saiko had the ability to play multiple positions, and his opinion didn't change after moving him from one spot to another while experimenting with different combinations in the fall.
"Any time you come to a program like South Carolina, you know there are going to be a bunch of good players, and sometimes you have to play a new position and do what you have to do to get on the field," said Saiko, who also starred in football and basketball at Castle.
"Obviously, any time you have to learn to play a new position, it's pretty hard. It takes a lot of experience to be a good outfielder, and I'm still learning."
Statistics suggest Saiko already has passed the threshold of being a good outfielder with a fielding percentage of .959 and a batting average of .304 while also leading the team in stolen bases with 10.
When he sprained his left wrist diving for a ball at Missouri, the Gamecocks won just three of the seven games he missed. When he returned March 28, they won eight of their next nine games.
Saiko even helped the Gamecocks bounce back from the disappointment of being swept in a weekend series by Florida by having a career night in a 10-6 win over College of Charleston last Tuesday. Saiko had four hits, including his first home run at the NCAA Division I level.
"Yeah, the wrist is fine now," said Saiko.
Much of his success is a result of the confidence he regained while playing at TCC, where he hit .343 and was named first-team all-Panhandle Conference. He also was the conference's top scholar baseball player.
"Baseball is a very streaky game, so anytime you can play every day it helps you get in a groove," Saiko said. "It's tough to do when you don't get your opportunities, but they worked me down there (TCC) and I had a good season."
He followed that up by helping the Columbia Blowfish win the championship of the Coastal Plains (a league for college players) while learning his way around the city and campus.
Now he'd like to help the Gamecocks return to the College World Series for a fourth consecutive year.
"He's a gamer," said assistant coach Brian Buscher, who managed the Blowfish. "He can hit. He doesn't strike out much. He just knows how to play the game and he's showing us that."

Last year I planted four varieties of hops, Zeus, Mt. Hood, Centennial and Willamette. All survived, but the Mt. Hood barely did. The Zeus actually bore about and ounce of dried cones. In the second year here in Kansas, the Zeus broke out like a Medusa monster. There were nice looking bines going every where. I snipped off all but three and by the end of March the thing is three feet up the line. My Mt. Hood has one bine that is about 8 inches long. When I searched the forum on Mt. Hood it seems like a lot of people struggle with the Mount Hood. Maybe you have to live in Oregon. I guess I should say that by Mt. St. Helens, I mean that it is cratering--not erupting.
I had a tough time with mt. hood last year. The summer was brutal but the mt. hood hung on until about mid-way through the summer. It never grew more than about a foot but I thought a one year of root growth would mean this year would be good. The heat just dried it out. I did replant the rhizome over the winter and it seemed to grow some new roots so it might come back but I'm not counting on it. I tried mt. hood again this year but I got a rooted cutting instead of a rhizome. I don't know if it will survive a brutal summer but it's been in the ground for about a week and a half and it has five good bines and about six inches of growth. It's outperforming my sterling from last year, nugget and cascade.
Well that's encouraging to hear. If the stuff can survive Texas, Kansas shouldn't be impossible either. I'm hoping that the plant is going deep and out in order to someday shoot up. That sounds like a spiritual metaphor of a kind.

As a health care system, we collect enormous quantities of information to treat our patients – diagnostic tests, treatments provided, and the symptoms or incidents that call for them. For the past two years, we have been completely transforming and re-building Lifespan's entire information technology platform and infrastructure under the banner of the massive project we have referred to as "Epic" (reflecting the name of the primary vendor). I am pleased to let you know that our new clinical information system will be called LifeChart.
The new name reflects both the fact that it is specific to Lifespan and that we have undertaken this vast project to comprehensively chart our patients' care and health condition and in doing so, improve each patient's care.
Our new system will create a single record for each patient that may be accessed by clinicians throughout Lifespan. One great advantage of the new system is that all of the patient's information will be in one place; people will no longer have to click in and out of different systems to find information, as they do now. Community physicians will be able to view information about patients who have had inpatient stays or outpatient visits at Lifespan facilities. Our patients will be able to access their own information through a portal that we will be promoting in the months to come. Our research enterprise will be enhanced by identifying more easily patients who are suitable for appropriate clinical trials. We will be the only health care system in the state that will have a single enterprise electronic health record that spans both inpatient and outpatient services—a distinction that affirms our commitment to meeting the health needs of our community.
Our new system has been called the best available today, and after evaluating various systems, we agree. That does not mean, however, that the build and implementation process has been easy. It's been two years of hard work for our various teams, who have built programs to support our redesigned care processes and redesigned workflows—all with the primary goal of better patient care and a better work environment. I am grateful to the hundreds of people who have spent thousands upon thousands of hours –and continue to work—to make this happen.
I fully anticipate that the next few months will be challenging for those involved in the launch of the new system and for those learning to use it. But I know we are building something remarkable. Something that will enhance communication among clinicians, address the fragmentation that hampers optimal care and, in the end, help us better fulfill our new brand mission—Delivering health with care. I am grateful to our staff for the work that has been done and in advance for the work that lies ahead.
In the steadfast pursuit of excellence, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Timothy J. Babineau, MD
President, CEO of Lifespan

IPLP is engaged in advocacy and technical assistance projects involving indigenous peoples in various parts of the world. Here is a sampling of these projects.
Current Projects:
Maya Communities of Southern Belize
Professor James Anaya coordinates the work of a team of lawyers and researchers to assist the Maya communities of southern Belize to secure and effectively exercise their rights over their traditional lands and natural resources. The advocacy efforts led by the IPLP Program have resulted in precedent-setting decisions by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and by the Supreme Court of Belize affirming Maya land rights on the basis of traditional tenure. More information and resources about this case...
Rio Yaqui
Associate Clinical Professor James Hopkins, with the assistance of IPLP students, is representing the Traditional Authorities of the Rio Yaqui Pueblos, the governing body for all eight Rio Yaqui Pueblos in the Rio Yaqui Valley, Sonora, Mexico on a Petition before the Inter-American Commission on Human Right. Filed in January 2011, the Traditional Authorities are requesting precautionary measures in the face of urgent, immediate, and irreparable harms to the Rio Yaqui people, their lands, resources and access to surface water rights on the Rio Yaqui caused by Mexico's continued agri-chemical practices and the alleged resulting Yaqui infant deaths that are in violation of the Rio Yaqui peoples' fundamental right to life as well as Mexico's support for massive resource development projects that includes the diversion of the Rio Yaqui to the City of Hermosillio, all of which will deny the future existence of the Rio Yaqui people in the Rio Yaqui Valley.
Border Action Network
IPLP represents the Border Action Network, a non-government organization whose work involves protecting the human rights of persons affected by border and immigration policies, in a petition before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. The organization is trying to stop violent attacks by vigilantes against immigrants along the Arizona/Mexico border area. Virtually all of these immigrants are from Mexico and other Latin American countries, and many of them indigenous. The petition before the Inter-American Commission seeks redress for human rights violations caused by the United States' lack of protection and legal remedies for immigrant victims of violence and intimidation by these vigilante groups.
More information and resources about this case...
Will-writing project with the Allottees Association of the San Xavier District of the Tohono O'Odham Nation
Mary Guss, on behalf of IPLP, and Claudia Nelson, of NPTAO, are partnering on a will-writing project with the Allottees Association of the San Xavier District of the Tohono O'odham Nation. The Office of the Special Trustee is also involved and provides informational assistance as well as occasional office space. The project began in June of 2012. Twice a month Guss and Nelson travel to the Allottees office or to Sells to meet with individuals who need assistance in the preparation of their wills. The following month the Allottee returns to sign his or her will. An Indian Will Writing clinic has grown directly from this partnership, and law students are now also involved in meeting with clients and drafting their wills and related estate documents.
Prior Projects:
Support Project for the UN Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Peoples
IPLP staff, students and consultants supported the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, a position held by Professor James Anaya from 2008 to 2014. In collaboration with the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the IPLP Support Project assisted with all aspects of the Special Rapporteur's work to promote the human rights of indigenous peoples worldwide and address problem situations, in accordance with his mandate from the UN Human Rights Council. More information and resources about this project...
Hul'qumi'num Treaty Group
Professor Robert A. Williams, Jr., with the assistance of IPLP students and staff, represented the Hul'qumi'num Treaty Group (which consists of six First Nations in British Columbia, Canada) on a Petition to the Inter-American Commission on Human Right. The Petition was filed in May 2007 and includes a request for precautionary measures to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to Hul'qumi'num traditional lands and resources caused by the Canadian government's ongoing violation of the Hul'qumi'num peoples' rights to property, culture and equality of the law, as protected by the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man. The Commission agreed to hear the merits of the petition. More information and resources about this case...
Western Shoshone
The IPLP program worked with the Indian Law Resource Center and the Western Shoshone Defense Project to assist the Dann traditional family and other Western Shoshone groups to defend their land rights in precedent-setting proceedings before the Inter American Commission on Human Rights and the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. More information and resources about this case...
Awas Tingni
The Awas Tingni decision by the Inter American Court of Human Rights was the first occasion on which an international tribunal with legally binding authority found a government in violation of the collective land rights of an indigenous people. Assisted by IPLP students and staff, Professor James Anaya was the lead counsel for the Awas Tingni community in the proceedings that led to the landmark judgment by the Inter-American court. IPLP also assisted the community in the complex process of implementing the judgment, eventually to see the Government of Nicaragua deliver title to the community in December 2008. More information and resources about this case...
Baka "Pygmy" of the Congo
The IPLP Program was asked by the Rainforest Foundation UK to develop a report concerning the human rights of indigenous peoples in Africa. In 2006 IPLP completed the project and submitted a report entitled, "The Rights of the Pygmy People in the Republic of Congo." The report was instrumental to the adoption of a general law to protect the rights of indigenous peoples in Congo, the first law of its kind in the African continent.
YATAMA, the main indigenous political party in Nicaragua, sought to enable the full exercise of the right to political participation by the indigenous peoples of the country's Atlantic Coast region. IPLP assisted in submitting an Amicus Curiae brief to the Inter American Court of Human Rights in support of YATAMA's petition.
Raposa Serra do Sol
IPLP assisted the indigenous peoples of Raposa Serra do Sol in Brazil with their petitions to the InterAmerican Commission on Human Rights and and UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The indigenous peoples of Raposa Serra do Sol sought legal recognition of their rights over their traditional lands and protection from threats and violence experienced at the hands of non-indigenous farmers.
Inuit Circumpolar Conference
Professor James Anaya, assisted by IPLP students, worked with the Inuit Circumpolar Conference, Earth Justice and the Center for International Environmental law to submit a petition to the Inter American Commission on Human Rights on behalf of the Inuit people of the Arctic regions, seeking relief from violations of their human rights experienced as a result of global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions from the United States.
