Auburn Council Sets Date for Toomer's Oaks Removal
The Auburn City Council has set April 23 as the date when the iconic Toomer's Oaks at Auburn University will be removed.
The Opelika-Auburn News reports removal of the trees will require closing city streets in the area.
City Manager Charlie Duggan said the removal has tentatively been set for 7 a.m. to noon on April 23, but the time is subject to change depending on weather and how long the removal takes.
University of Alabama fan Harvey Updyke is accused of poisoning the Toomer's Corner oak trees during Auburn's run to the national championship in the 2010 football season.
Updyke has pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect to charges that include desecrating a venerable object. A trial is set to begin April 8.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great Start!
Wow The service was surprisingly fast! we are extremely happy with our Save the Dates ! great quality!
Great quality, loved my save the date cards!
Everything was just how I wanted it! I will be ordering my invitations here!
They turned out perfect!! We got tons of great feedback on them.
Wedding Thank You Card
We could not find what we had in mind for our wedding thank you cards so we customized a save the date. We took the fundamental structure of the card, made it our own and completely reworked the back of the card. We submitted our design request and approved the mock when the design was complete. We are very happy with what we made and how easy MagnetStreet made the process.
I at first hesitated to trust an online invitation site...but no need to with MagnetStreet! The cards came with no smudges or fading, no "MagnetStreet" advertisement, and the paper was thick! The personalization they allow you is far better than any other online paper goods site!

Latest issue: On the cover, Holly Herndon is lit by the glow of a laptop, and she talks technology as a tool for liberation with Britt Brown in San Francisco. She discusses her forthcoming album Platform, how it uses popular music as a carrier signal and hacks the language of advertising, and how economists, thinkers and theorists might free festivals and live performances from the stranglehold of orthodoxy. Dave Mandl offers a user's guide to the work of Moondog in the Primer, chronicling half a century of maverick compositions, street recordings, snaketime rhythms, political action and instrument invention by the Viking of 6th Avenue. Down on the South Coast, Daniel Spicer lives it up with the Brighton noise poetry scene, whose collision of twisted language, DIY sounds and radical politics is gathering momentum. The Invisible Jukebox is with Lightning Bolt, where the Providence duo try to identify tracks by Boredoms, Squarepusher and Harry Pussy. And composer Philip Corner looks over a life of surprises in Epiphanies.

I'm slightly more gay than I thought. I'd go so far as to say I'm a top.
I was grossed out that all their candles smelled like vagina and then I remembered where my fingers had been.
I woke up at 4 am. Literally pissed. No idea what happened. I could have fucked a cow.
I greatly enjoy being related to her. Even if is it only by a penis.
You are so predictable. I am willing to bet 20$ that instead of going out you are sitting on your couch, stoned, watching Seinfield re-runs and eating cheezits.
I love birth control. How's that for a Facebook status on valentines day.
I told him to just roll me a blunt and put it in a heart shaped box.
I don't care how hungry or impatient you are. the highest setting on the microwave is 100% and you better not take it appart to add power. This is not the Enterprise.
Well we're either getting a bunny or I'm getting you pregnant in about 12 days.
And THIS is why we get drunk. No good story, documentation, or event happens by eating a salad. Alcohol consumption leads to good things
My worst fear almost came to light...I was choking and the cats stared at me like they had no problem eating my face if I died
There is a chick at the bar in a bumble bee onesie, complete with wings. Yeah, I must be back in Seattle.
I can't wait til I'm a real grown up and am no longer expected to take 7 shots of raspberry ruby as a pregame to a night of drinking natty lite
I just had the weirdest moment. Made eye contact at the bar with a girl who has seen my vagina.
I'll always remember 2012 as the year I hooked up with countless girls who had the sides of their heads shaved.

Little Atoms is a radio chat show broadcast weekly from London on Resonance FM 104.4. It is hosted by Neil Denny, Richard Sanderson, Padraig Reidy, Becky Hogge and special guest presenters. It actively promotes ideas of science, rationalism, atheism and enlightenment and consists of interviews with cultural icons, intellectuals, writers and academics.
The radio show was conceived by Neil Denny and Richard Sanderson at a meeting in a pub beer garden in London Bridge on 7 July 2005 and the first episode aired on 2 September 2005 and featured a panel of a scientist (Sid Rodrigues), physicist and ex-born again Christian (Norman Hansen) and a folklorist (Scott Wood), along with Neil Denny and Richard Sanderson as the show's hosts.[1][2] Richard Sanderson was also the producer of two previous incarnations of rationalist radio shows on Resonance FM, "Sanderson's Alcove", which ran from February 2005 to July 2005 and "Baggage Reclaim" which ran from 2003 to 2005.[3] It is regarded as the first "rationalist" radio show in the UK and one of the first podcasts; with only the JREF's "Internet Audio Show", Rick Wood's Audiomartini, Skepticality and The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe preceding it.
It is featured on iTunes under the category of social sciences and is generally listed in the top 100 featured podcasts for Science and Medicine in the UK iTunes podcast category.[4] It was the official podcast of The Skeptic magazine until 2011.[5][6]

Wainscoting height for my bathroom (x-post with Bathrooms)
In our master bath, we will have a 4' knee wall in the shower which will be tiled inside and out in a basic white ceramic. Our ceilings are 8', so the knee wall is at half the height.
I was planning to run white tile around the inside of the shower at the same height (4'), as well as along the "wet wall" outside the shower at the same height as the four-foot knee wall for horizontal continuity.
Outside the shower, the wall above will be painted pale blue-green. Inside the shower, above the wainscoting will be 1x1 mosaic glass that is similar in value to the paint, again for visual continuity.
The wainscoting will only be on the "wet wall" and in the shower. Other two walls will be all paint. (Is all this clear, or do I need to try to sketch this up and scan it in?)
It had seemed logical to key the wainscoting off the height of the knee wall, but now I am second-guessing myself, remembering that maybe a 50/50 ratio for wainscoting is a no-no. Should I go a bit higher with the wainscoting for a 33/66 ratio, ignoring the knee wall? Or should I ignore my second-guessing and just stop worrying about every little freaking thing? (sigh)
I have an old house, so it may not be applicable, but I tiled up to a 42" height. I used 42 because that was the ht. of an old chair rail or towel bar rail that once existed in the bathroom. It turned out that it was just the right height for the medicine cabinet I picked out; any taller and I would have needed to turn the tile or stop the chair rail @ the cabinet. My ceilings are 7'9".
Well now if you stop worrying about every little freaking thing, what happens to us??? We're unemployed ;-)
I'm trying to picture your layout but honestly it isn't clear to me. Generally I like to see something other than a 50/50 split but there are other things that come into play - how does that 50/50 or 33/66 relate to the finished height of your vanity counters, to the windows (if any) either at sill or apron height. I like continuity, too and like to see some relation to other horizontal lines in a space - expecially a space like a bathroom. But that doesn't mean everything has to end at the same height, just that you need to put those other lines into the thought process so you don't end up with staggered and unrelated horizontal lines all through the space. Clear as mud?
Ours is 4 ft. in the bath because 5 ft. would have interfered with fixtures, etc. It's a personal thing and well as an architectural choice. I love wainscoting and all heights look good to me!! Only thing to remember is you don't want to go too high in a very small room or it will close the room in, unless of course you're going for that cacoon feeling.
Som's looks perfect because it comes right up to the bottom of the mirror and allows the perfect placement for the towel bar.
Re: going too high with wainscoting in a small room. You would think that it would make a room look more closed in, but in my tiny 4' x 6' windowless half bath, the wainscoting is about 2/3's of the way up the wall (ceilings are only 7' 6" tall), and I think it makes the room look bigger. I think it's because the wainscoting is white, and the smaller portion of the wall is dark. If the colors were reversed, then, yes, I think it would make it look smaller.
Thanks everyone. Looks like there is a reasonable argument for the 50/50 split if it makes sense in the context of other horizontal lines. I think I should go and see where the window sill will be. There won't be any wainscoting on that wall, but if it's at four feet, then bob's your uncle.
As I write, I am thinking that I should install the towel bars at four feet, just to further justify that height. The tile guy said the upper four with the mosaic might "look heavy" but I also have some art from the last version of this color scheme which will help some, I believe.
Beautiful rooms Pam and Sombreuil!!

A digital jukebox?
Two years after a 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, killing hundreds of thousands, more than a half-million Haitians are still sleeping under tarps, often in camps without enough water or toilets. As another hurricane season approaches, many people are asking, what happened to the generous donations that Americans gave? Congress should make it easier to find out.
WASHINGTON -- When it comes to Newt Gingrich's post-speaker activities on the Hill, it all depends on what your definition of "lobbying" is.
Several recent incidents in the Palmetto State have underscored the dangers facing the men and women of law enforcement:
No other name besides Jimmie Johnson or Tony Stewart has appeared on the NASCAR Sprint Cup series championship trophy in the past seven years. With the sport's top circuit set to kick off Feb. 26 with the Daytona 500, virtually every driver will be aiming to make sure that streak comes to an end.
This past Thursday, Time Magazine's Jeffrey Kluger wrote a lovely homage to Opportunity, the little Mars rover that could.
Several mishaps at railroad crossings or elsewhere in eastern Kershaw County occurred during my youth. The derailment at Cassatt occurred in 1947 while I was away from the community serving Uncle Sam in Italy.
What do you do when you're a presidential candidate like Newt Gingrich who lugs so much baggage that your baggage has baggage? That's easy. You reach up your sleeve and.... Oh, yes. You play the umbrage card. You fume and fuss with outrage over the question and hope no one demands an answer.
If you were to rank the countries of the world in terms of economic freedom, where would the United States fall? First, or at least in the top three? The top five, surely.
From the mailbag:
Hello and Happy Friday! I appreciate you stopping by to see what I have to say in today's Chronicle-Independent, our hometown newspaper. Many might comment that I already say a lot through my photographs as there are many tucked away on my Facebook page. I have the Easter Egg Hunt at Bethesda Presbyterian Church from 2009, Camden High's graduation from 2010, Food For The Soul's dedication from 2011 and the Miss Camden Pageant just last month and hundreds of others in between -- all posted on my photo page. Now it's my turn to say in words ...
Do you want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help your … health?
Change comes very slowly in South Carolina. But this year we have an exciting chance to make a difference for the future. After more than six years of effort, the South Carolina Legislature is on the brink of true reform in the way our government operates. We can change the structure of our state government and move it away from the unaccountable, auto-pilot it operates in currently to a more responsible and efficient model.
Journalism: writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation.
The port issue heated up this week at the State House. Both the House and Senate have resolutions pending that would suspend the authority of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) for all decisions it has made since 2007 regarding the navigability, depth, dredging, wastewater and sludge disposal concerning the South Carolina portion of the Savannah River. The legislature argues it gave this authority to the Savannah River Maritime Authority by statute in 2007.
"Hey," said the guy next to me at the blackjack table, "you know what they call people who hang around casinos?"
WASHINGTON -- President Obama got it two-thirds right when he said the delayed confirmation of his attorney general nominee, Loretta Lynch, is owing to Senate dysfunction and Republican stubbornness.
Here in the Chronicle-Independent newsroom, we're kind of shaking our collective head about the news which broke Tuesday about the early-morning heist of a complete automatic teller machine (ATM) from Mid Carolina Credit Union in Lugoff. The thief or thieves apparently used a large, stolen piece of equipment to rip the ATM from its concrete base and load it into or onto some sort of vehicle, almost surely a truck, given an ATM's size and weight.
Spring is here in the City and the Bradford pears look so pretty.
If I had to list the drivers people have asked me about over the years, Kurt Busch wouldn't be in the top 10.
WASHINGTON -- I'm standing in the Starbucks line behind 10 other sleepyheads waiting to order my tall skinny cappuccino, otherwise known as a shot of coffee described as I wish it to be.
Today's reflection is about things I just don't do anymore.
Every day, in every area of our state, hardworking South Carolina taxpayers are being robbed. They are not held up at gunpoint and their homes are not burglarized. But, they are the victims of theft just the same. Criminals are stealing federal funds and using that money for their personal benefit. They are committing fraud against the food stamp program. In fact, they pocket more than $2 million of your tax dollars every year in South Carolina alone.

Maximizing Donations
I am getting ready to do a thorough cleaning of my house, which will include many donations to Good Will. In the past when I have done my taxes (using the H&R block online) the maximum non-cash donation they allow is $500 without having to do additional paperwork (which seems complex), and the receipts that I get from my donations aren't that thorough. For example, if I donate a bag of clothes the receipt will say 'clothes.' It doesn't give a thorough explanation of what clothes were donated (like 2-suits, 3-sweaters, etc.).
Does anyone have experience or know the best way to document non-cash donations that will allow me to take the maximum donation I can?
In this cleaning that I plan on doing there will be a lot of clothes from the household, furniture, kitchen electronics, and other things that I find in my house that someone else could use. Should I get appraisals? Take pictures? write down details of the information?
Also, what is the best way to claim these donations with taxes (for 2008)? Would a good online tax program let me take larger donation?
"Should I get appraisals? Take pictures? write down details of the information?
Maybe all of the above!
What you NEED is whatever will hold up if the IRS wants you to PROVE that what you donated was really worth what you claimed as a deduction.
My annual donation of used items is between $1200-$2000.
I go exclusively to my local YWCA Thrift Shop... because of their paperwork (yes, THEIR paperwork, not mine!).
I just drop off the items (boxed and labeled with my name and address - and BTW - the items have to be in very good condition now for a claim...). The Thrift Shop catalogs what I donated and what it sells for. At the end of the year, I get an IRS-approved form with the total amount of my donations' value.
So, it is not some random guess... it is what the items actually sold for... and virtually NO work on my part!
Good luck with your purging!
Western, thanks for your thoughts. I really like the YWCA where they provide the paperwork. I will have to see if there is a similar place in Cincinnati, where I live.
I guess what I didn't ask in my original post is, what does the IRS look for? What are good ways to substantiate donation? Does the IRS have a website for this (I looked but didn't see anything).
Donating goods starts on page 7.
Here is a link that might be useful: IRS Charitable Contributions
The IRS is looking for a list of the items donated with a "thrift store" value for each item. There are software programs available to help you track the items you donate.
Personally, I make an Excel spread sheet every time I make a donation. The spread sheet shows what I donated, the number of those items, a value per item and the total value. I staple the spread sheet to the receipt stash in my tax file.
Salvation Army, Goodwill and probably many other organizations have lists on their websites of suggested values for items donated.
I suggest backing up your list with a picture of the items before you put them in the bags.
All items have to be in good condition or you can't claim a deduction for them.

A Perl script for Automatically Collecting News Headlines
Spot Reporter
Instead of visiting news sites periodically to pick up the latest reports, most people prefer to let a news aggregator do the job.The aggregator automatically draws your attention to incoming news. If a website does not have an RSS feed,a new Perl module simplifies the task of programming an RSS feed for private use.
The sheer bulk of information on the Internet means that nobody can read it all. Visiting a couple of dozen websites a day to pick up the latest news is so time consuming that you would need to quit your job to get finished. This prompted many news sites to introduce RSS feeds with headlines and links to articles in machine-readable format. RSS is short for RDF Site Summary, where RDF means Resource Description Framework. RSS files use XML – a format that so-called news aggregators can easily parse. Articles that users have not yet read are served up as clickable headlines.

A favorite for many years. I've been bringing family and friends here for over 30, years. Have a baseball or soccer team? Bring them here. Kids will have a grand time, sports are on TV, Anchor Steam on tap, and the Pizza and burgers are very good.
Plenty of room for our party of 18, video games for the kids, the pizza was great and fast. We'll be back for sure.
We love their pizza. They have a great salad bar and good sandwiches. The food comes up quickly and is priced right.
Wanted to stay at Central Coast Brew to enjoy their great beer, so we ordered a Village Host for delivery. Process was easy. The pizza came fast. And it tasted great. Definitely a keeper!
We were lucky enough to stumble upon this pizza place while looking through local dining options at our hotel and ended up ordering it twice while on vacation. The service was quick and friendly, and the pizza was excellent w a nice crispy crust. We'll save this place for our next visit.
Called for delivery to our hotel room & really liked our pizza! Loved that it did not have a lot of sauce, but lots of cheese! The ham was great! Good job!
BEST PIZZA EVER. I drive 15 minutes just to get a pie from this place. The crust is amazing, and ingredients are fresh, and they really load up on toppings too! Its a bit expensive for a pizza place (compared to pizza hut and places like that), but its worth it!
It's been 11 years since I went to the Village Host. Still the same great helpful staff and delicious pizza. Nice selection of beers. It's a family place so it can get noisy but the service is quick and food good. If you are staying at the hotels across 101 this place is close by and not a bad walk...
We were craving Pizza after a day touring the California Coastline between San Francisco and Santa Cruz... We found Village Host listed in our Hotel room and thought we 'd check it out... WOW!!! What a great find!! We'll be back!
Great pizza, what more can I say? We have been going here since I was a kid, more than 35+ years, and it only seems to get better with time. The pizza is always piping hot, even if you have it delivered to your home. They have a fresh, crispy salad bar. They have a selection of beers and wine...

I loved this episode. We got to see Steve and Danny together most of he show. I love that they do argue. I agree Amanda, Danny is who he is, the arguments are the basis of the show, the relationship between the two are the basis for the show. Truly good friends, bicker back and forth at times, and also show how they really feel about each other. Danny has said things, but Steve has said things also. It is what it is, and I love it. How hard it must have been for Steve to reveal something in his past that made him feel vulnerable, and how sweet was Danny to buy him a guitar. Danny actually got to drive his car. Although Danny complains about control issue Steve, he still allows him to drive his car. That is friendship.
I loved this episode. I disagree with the writer, and if you have been watching the show then maybe the review would have been different. I appreciate you pitching in, but don't agree. The psycho for both the crime of the week, and Amber's husband were good actors, and played the part well. You have to be really sick to watch people burn to death. I am not a big fan of Amber, but I actually liked her in this one. We all knew when this character was introduced that she was running from something, its usually from getting caught from law or an abusive person they run from. Yes I would like to see a relationship that works smoothly on this show, but its a great show, and the episode was good as well. I also loved Melina Kanakaredes.
it's a TV show, they aren't going to kill off the lead. Just enjoy the show, don't read into it too much

Takes too long to dry the clothes.
By judykbh
from Cincinnati, OH, United States
Comments about GE GTDP180GDWW 6.8 Cu. Ft. Gas Dryer - White:
This dryer has great features like the light inside, easy to use lint filter, large capacity, and all the settings I need, but it just takes really long to get the clothes dry. My previous GE dryer did a much more efficient job. I wanted a gas dryer because they typically perform better than electric models (drying clothes faster) so I went to the added expense and effort to install a gas line and also to improve the exhaust venting path for maximum airflow. But this dryer does not perform well! So I'm really disappointed and feel I wasted all that extra money and time.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Worst ever!!
By deb3ds
from Galloway, NJ
I just bought a house that is less than a year old and this dryer came with it. It is the worst laundry experience I've ever had in my 45 years. The draft from opening the door sends lint into the dryer onto the clothes and all over the floor. The lint is all over the door and front of dryer. I have to clean the dryer before I remove the clothes or they are covered in lint. I have cleaned it out and no change. I called and there is no part to avoid this - I was told it is how it was designed. As a new homeowner, I can say I will never buy a GE product if this is the quality they produce. The dry time is quick and the dryer is quiet, but the clean-up of the dryer and my floor required for each load is insane!!
Great dryer

The purpose of this work was to study in ferrets the dynamics of infection of two contemporary strains of human A(H1N1)pdm09 IV, one isolated from a patient showing mild disease and the other one from a fatal case. Methods: Viral strains isolated from a patient showing mild disease-M (A/CastillaLaMancha/RR5661/2009) or from a fatal case-F (A/CastillaLaMancha/RR5911/2009), both without known co-morbid conditions, were inoculated in two groups of ferrets and clinical and pathological conditions were analysed. Results: Mild to severe clinical symptoms were observed in animals from both groups. A clinical score distribution was applied in which ferrets with mild clinical signs were distributed on a non-severe group (NS) and ferrets with severe clinical signs on a severe group (S), regardless of the virus used in the infection. Animals on S showed a significant decrease in body weight compared to animals on NS at 4 to 7 days post-infection (dpi). Clinical progress correlated with histopathological findings. Concentrations of haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA) increased on both groups after 2 dpi. Clinically severe infected ferrets showed a stronger antibody response and higher viral titres after infection (p = 0,01). Conclusions: The severity in the progress of infection was independent from the virus used for infection suggesting that the host immune response was determinant in the outcome of the infection. The diversity observed in ferrets mimicked the variability found in the human population. http://www.virologyj.com/content/12/1/48 Pamela Martínez-Orellana Jaume Martorell Beatriz Vidaña Natalia Majó Jorge Martínez Ana Falcón Ariel Rodríguez-Frandsen Inmaculada Casas Francisco Pozo Lourdes García-Migura Blanca García-Barreno Jose Melero Lorenzo Fraile Amelia Nieto Maria Montoya Virology Journal 2015, null:48 2015-03-26T12:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s12985-015-0272-x Host immunity determines influenza virus infection Diverse clinical response to two strains of influenza virus in ferrets demonstrated that host immunity, not the virus strain, was the determinant in the outcome of influenza virus infection.  /content/figures/s12985-015-0272-x-toc.gif Virology Journal 1743-422X ${item.volume} 48 2015-03-26T12:00:00Z PDF Virocidal activity of Egyptian scorpion venoms against hepatitis C virus Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major global health problem, causing chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Development of well-tolerated regimens with high cure rates and fewer side effects is still much needed. Recently, natural antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are attracting more attention as biological compounds and can be a good template to develop therapeutic agents, including antiviral agents against a variety of viruses. Various AMPs have been characterized from the venom of different venomous animals including scorpions. Methods: The possible antiviral activities of crude venoms obtained from five Egyptian scorpion species (Leiurus quinquestriatus, Androctonus amoreuxi, A. australis, A. bicolor and Scorpio maurus palmatus) were evaluated by a cell culture method using Huh7.5 cells and the J6/JFH1-P47 strain of HCV. Time-of-addition experiments and inactivation of enzymatic activities of the venoms were carried out to determine the characteristics of the anti-HCV activities. Results: S. maurus palmatus and A. australis venoms showed anti-HCV activities, with 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) being 6.3 ± 1.6 and 88.3 ± 5.8 μg/ml, respectively. S. maurus palmatus venom (30 μg/ml) impaired HCV infectivity in culture medium, but not inside the cells, through virocidal effect. The anti-HCV activity of this venom was not inhibited by a metalloprotease inhibitor or heating at 60°C. The antiviral activity was directed preferentially against HCV. Conclusions: S. maurus palmatus venom is considered as a good natural source for characterization and development of novel anti-HCV agents targeting the entry step. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing antiviral activities of Egyptian scorpion venoms against HCV, and may open a new approach towards discovering antiviral compounds derived from scorpion venoms. http://www.virologyj.com/content/12/1/47 Alaa El-Bitar Moustafa Sarhan Chie Aoki Yusuke Takahara Mari Komoto Lin Deng Mohsen Moustafa Hak Hotta Virology Journal 2015, null:47 2015-03-24T12:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s12985-015-0276-6 /content/figures/s12985-015-0276-6-toc.gif Virology Journal 1743-422X ${item.volume} 47 2015-03-24T12:00:00Z XML Comparison of attenuated and virulent West Nile virus strains in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells as a model of initial human infection Background: The human-pathogenic North American West Nile virus strain (WNVNY99), responsible for the outbreak in New York city in 1999, has caused 41000 infections and 1739 human deaths to date. A new strain of West Nile virus emerged in New South Wales, Australia in 2011 (WNVNSW2011), causing a major encephalitic outbreak in horses with close to 1000 cases and 10-15% mortality. Unexpectedly, no human cases have so far been documented.FindingsWe report here, using human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) as a model of initial WNV infection, that the pathogenic New York 99 WNV strain (WNVNY99) replicated better than WNVNSW2011, indicative of increased viral dissemination and pathogenesis in a natural infection. This was attributed to suppressed viral replication and type I interferon (IFN) response in the early phase of WNVNY99 infection, leading to enhanced viral replication at the later phase of infection. In addition, WNVNY99 induced significantly more pro-inflammatory cytokines in MoDCs compared to WNVNSW2011. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the observed differences in replication and induction of IFN response between WNVNY99 and WNVNSW2011 in MoDCs may be indicative of their difference in virulence for humans. http://www.virologyj.com/content/12/1/46 Daniel Rawle Yin Setoh Judith Edmonds Alexander Khromykh Virology Journal 2015, null:46 2015-03-22T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s12985-015-0279-3 /content/figures/s12985-015-0279-3-toc.gif Virology Journal 1743-422X ${item.volume} 46 2015-03-22T00:00:00Z PDF Synergistic inhibition of avian leukosis virus subgroup J replication by miRNA-embedded siRNA interference of double-target Background: The diseases caused by avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) has become a serious problem in the poultry. Due to largely ineffective vaccines, new control measures are needed to be developed. RNA interference (RNAi) has been developed a promising measure for antivirus in poultry. Methods: In this study, miRNA-embedded siRNA interference was designed and used to inhibit ALV-J replication in vitro and in vivo. Each sequence of target siRNA derived from the gag (p15), pol (p32), env (gp85) and LTR (U3) gene of ALV-J was embedded into mouse miR-155 backbone as a pre-miRNA hairpin oligonucleotide sequence. After annealing, they were cloned into pcDNA6.2-GW/EmGFP-miR vector, respectively. For detecting the interference effect, recombinant vectors were introduced into DF-1 cells and day-old SPF chickens that infected with ALV-J. Results: In vitro, single target interference showed effective inhibition of reducing 74% ~ 85% mRNA of ALV-J. Double targets showed more efficient inhibition of reducing 96% ~ 98% mRNA of ALV-J. In vivo, chicks were inoculated with each recombinant plasmid in peritoneal cavity at day of hatch, and monitored infection status at interval 1 day postinfection for 4 weeks. Delivery of single target or double targets miRNA significantly reduced viremia and pathogenicity caused by ALV-J in vivo, especially the double targets. Conclusions: These data demonstrated that the miRNA-embedded siRNA interference is an efficient method for inhibition of ALV-J replication, especially double targets. http://www.virologyj.com/content/12/1/45 Rongrong Wei Xiaoqian Ma Guihua Wang Huijun Guo Jianzhu Liu Lingxiao Fan Ziqiang Cheng Virology Journal 2015, null:45 2015-03-21T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s12985-015-0277-5 /content/figures/s12985-015-0277-5-toc.gif Virology Journal 1743-422X ${item.volume} 45 2015-03-21T00:00:00Z XML Pathogenesis of natural and experimental <it>Pseudorabies virus</it> infections in dogs Background: Since late 2011, cases of suspected canine pseudorabies have increased in north China with the outbreak of swine pseudorabies in the same area, but the pathogenesis of canine Pseudorabies virus (PRV) infections in China is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the pathogenesis of canine pseudorabies. Methods: The pathological changes in 13 dogs that died of natural PRV infections (confirmed by pathogen detection) during 2011–2013 in Beijing were evaluated. An experimental study was also conducted in which healthy adult beagle dogs were administered PRV isolate BJ-YT by subcutaneous injection. The dog tissues were subjected to gross and microscopic examinations and immunohistochemical analysis and the dogs' serum cardiac troponin-I (cTn-I) was measured. Results: Systemic hemorrhage and/or congestion were the most marked pathological changes in both the naturally and experimentally PRV-infected dogs. Macroscopically, the major lesions consisted of petechiae and ecchymoses in both the endocardium and epicardium, thrombi in the mitral valves, hemorrhage in the lungs and thymus, and incomplete contraction of the spleen. Microscopically, the major histopathological findings were systemic hemorrhage and congestion, nonsuppurative ganglioneuritis (in the experimentally infected dogs, unexamined in the naturally PRV-infected dogs), brainstem encephalitis (in the naturally infected dogs), necrosis or exudation in the myocardium, and lymphoid depletion in many lymphoid organs and tissues. Viral antigens were only detected in the brainstems and peripheral ganglia of the infected dogs. Serum cTn-I was significantly higher in the experimentally PRV-infected dogs with myocardial lesions than in the dogs without myocardial lesions. Conclusions: Based on these results, we conclude that virally induced systemic hemorrhage, peripheral nervous system pathology, and/or cardiac injury can individually or collectively cause death in PRV-infected dogs. The respiratory signs of the disease are attributed to cardiogenic lesions. http://www.virologyj.com/content/12/1/44 Letian Zhang Cheng Zhong Jushi Wang Zijie Lu Lei Liu Wanlian Yang Yanli Lyu Virology Journal 2015, null:44 2015-03-18T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s12985-015-0274-8 /content/figures/s12985-015-0274-8-toc.gif Virology Journal 1743-422X ${item.volume} 44 2015-03-18T00:00:00Z XML Insights into the evolutionary history of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) based on whole-genome sequences comprising the five genotypes Background: Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is the etiological agent of Japanese encephalitis (JE), one of the most serious viral encephalitis worldwide. Five genotypes have been classified based on phylogenetic analysis of the viral envelope gene or the complete genome. Previous studies based on four genotypes have reported that in evolutionary terms, genotype 1 JEV is the most recent lineage. However, until now, no systematic phylogenetic analysis was reported based on whole genomic sequence of all five JEV genotypes.FindingsIn this study, phylogenetic analysis using Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations was conducted on the whole genomic sequences of all five genotypes of JEV. The results showed that the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) for JEV is estimated to have occurred 3255 years ago (95% highest posterior density [HPD], −978 to−6125 years). Chronologically, this ancestral lineage diverged to produce five recognized virus genotypes in the sequence 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1. Population dynamics analysis indicated that the genetic diversity of the virus peaked during the following two periods: 1930–1960 and 1980–1990, and the population diversity of JEV remained relatively high after 2000. Conclusions: Genotype 5 is the earliest recognized JEV lineage, and the genetic diversity of JEV has remained high since 2000. http://www.virologyj.com/content/12/1/43 Xiaoyan Gao Hong Liu Minghua Li Shihong Fu Guodong Liang Virology Journal 2015, null:43 2015-03-14T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s12985-015-0270-z /content/figures/s12985-015-0270-z-toc.gif Virology Journal 1743-422X ${item.volume} 43 2015-03-14T00:00:00Z XML Detection of new genetic variants of Betacoronaviruses in Endemic Frugivorous Bats of Madagascar Background: Bats are amongst the natural reservoirs of many coronaviruses (CoVs) of which some can lead to severe infection in human. African bats are known to harbor a range of pathogens (e.g., Ebola and Marburg viruses) that can infect humans and cause disease outbreaks. A recent study in South Africa isolated a genetic variant closely related to MERS-CoV from an insectivorous bat. Though Madagascar is home to 44 bat species (41 insectivorous and 3 frugivorous) of which 34 are endemic, no data exists concerning the circulation of CoVs in the island's chiropteran fauna. Certain Malagasy bats can be frequently found in close contact with humans and frugivorous bats feed in the same trees where people collect and consume fruits and are hunted and consumed as bush meat. The purpose of our study is to detect and identify CoVs from frugivorous bats in Madagascar to evaluate the risk of human infection from infected bats. Methods: Frugivorous bats belonging to three species were captured in four different regions of Madagascar. We analyzed fecal and throat swabs to detect the presence of virus through amplification of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene, which is highly conserved in all known coronaviruses. Phylogenetic analyses were performed from positive specimens. Results: From 351 frugivorous bats, we detected 14 coronaviruses from two endemic bats species, of which 13 viruses were identified from Pteropus rufus and one from Eidolon dupreanum, giving an overall prevalence of 4.5%. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the Malagasy strains belong to the genus Betacoronavirus but form three distinct clusters, which seem to represent previously undescribed genetic lineages. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that CoVs circulate in frugivorous bats of Madagascar, demonstrating the needs to evaluate spillover risk to human populations especially for individuals that hunt and consume infected bats. Possible dispersal mechanisms as to how coronaviruses arrived on Madagascar are discussed. http://www.virologyj.com/content/12/1/42 Norosoa Razanajatovo Lalaina Nomenjanahary David Wilkinson Julie Razafimanahaka Steven Goodman Richard Jenkins Julia Jones Jean-Michel Heraud Virology Journal 2015, null:42 2015-03-12T12:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s12985-015-0271-y /content/figures/s12985-015-0271-y-toc.gif Virology Journal 1743-422X ${item.volume} 42 2015-03-12T12:00:00Z PDF Health care professionals at risk of infection with Borna disease virus ¿ evidence from a large hospital in China (Chongqing) Background: Human Borna disease virus (BDV) infections have recently been reported in China. BDV causes cognitive and behavioural disturbances in animals. The impact on human mental disorders is subject to debate, but previous studies worldwide have found neuropsychiatric patients more frequently infected than healthy controls. A few isolates were recovered from severely depressed patients, but contagiousness of BDV strain remains unknown.MethodWe addressed the risk of infection in health care settings at the first affiliated hospital of Chongqing Medical University (CQMU), located in downtown Chongqing, a megacity in Southwest China. Between February 2012 and March 2013, we enrolled 1529 participants, of whom 534 were outpatients with major depressive disorder (MDD), 615 were hospital personnel, and 380 were healthy controls who underwent a health check. Infection was determined through BDV-specific circulating immune complexes (CIC), RNA, and selective antibodies (blood). Results: One-fifth of the hospital staff (21.8%) were found to be infected (CIC positive), with the highest prevalence among psychiatry and oncology personnel, which is twice as many as were detected in the healthy control group (11.1%), and exceeds the prevalence detected in MDD patients (18.2%). Conclusion: BDV circulates unnoticed in hospital settings in China, putting medical staff at risk and warranting clarification of infection modes and introduction of prevention measures. http://www.virologyj.com/content/12/1/39 Xia Liu Liv Bode Liang Zhang Xiao Wang Siwen Liu Lujun Zhang Rongzhong Huang Mingju Wang Liu Yang Shigang Chen Qi Li Dan Zhu Hanns Ludwig Peng Xie Virology Journal 2015, null:39 2015-03-12T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s12985-015-0239-y Medical staff at risk of Borna disease virus infection More than 20% of the medical staff at a hospital in China were found to be infected with human Borna disease virus, calling for infection monitoring and introduction of preventive measures. /content/figures/s12985-015-0239-y-toc.gif Virology Journal 1743-422X ${item.volume} 39 2015-03-12T00:00:00Z XML High level of HIV-1 drug resistance among patients with HIV-1 and HIV-1/2 dual infections in Guinea-Bissau Background: With the widespread use of antiretroviral treatment (ART) in Africa, the risk of drug resistance has increased. The aim of this study was to evaluate levels of HIV-1 resistance among patients with HIV-1 and HIV-1/2 dual infections, treated with ART, at a large HIV clinic in Guinea-Bissau.FindingsPatients were selected from the Bissau HIV cohort. All patients had HIV-1 or HIV-1/2 dual infection, a CD4 cell count performed before and 3–12 months after starting ART, and a corresponding available plasma sample. We measured viral load in patients with HIV-1 (n = 63) and HIV-1/2 dual (n = 16) infections a median of 184 days after starting ART (IQR: 126–235 days). In patients with virological failure (defined as viral load >1000 copies/ml) and with sufficient plasma available, we performed an HIV-1 genotypic resistance test. Thirty-six patients (46%) had virological failure. The CD4 cell count did not predict treatment failure. Of the 36 patients with virological failure, we performed a resistance test in 15 patients (42%), and nine patients (9/15; 60%) had resistance mutations. The most common mutation was K103N, which confers high-level resistance to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI). No major mutations against protease inhibitors (PI) were found. Conclusions: Our results showed that patients with HIV-1 and HIV-1/2 dual infections in Guinea-Bissau had a high rate of virological failure and rapid development of NNRTI resistance. It remains to be determined whether a more robust, PI-based treatment regimen might benefit this population more than NNRTIs. http://www.virologyj.com/content/12/1/41 Sanne Jespersen Martin Tolstrup Bo Hønge Candida Medina David Té Svend Ellermann-Eriksen Lars Østergaard Christian Wejse Alex Laursen for The Bissau HIV cohort study group Virology Journal 2015, null:41 2015-03-11T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s12985-015-0273-9 /content/figures/s12985-015-0273-9-toc.gif Virology Journal 1743-422X ${item.volume} 41 2015-03-11T00:00:00Z XML BRCA1 functions as a novel transcriptional cofactor in HIV-1 infection Background: Viruses have naturally evolved elegant strategies to manipulate the host's cellular machinery, including ways to hijack cellular DNA repair proteins to aid in their own replication. Retroviruses induce DNA damage through integration of their genome into host DNA. DNA damage signaling proteins including ATR, ATM and BRCA1 contribute to multiple steps in the HIV-1 life cycle, including integration and Vpr-induced G2/M arrest. However, there have been no studies to date regarding the role of BRCA1 in HIV-1 transcription. Methods: Here we performed various transcriptional analyses to assess the role of BRCA1 in HIV-1 transcription by overexpression, selective depletion, and treatment with small molecule inhibitors. We examined association of Tat and BRCA1 through in vitro binding assays, as well as BRCA1-LTR association by chromatin immunoprecipitation. Results: BRCA1 was found to be important for viral transcription as cells that lack BRCA1 displayed severely reduced HIV-1 Tat-dependent transcription, and gain or loss-of-function studies resulted in enhanced or decreased transcription. Moreover, Tat was detected in complex with BRCA1 aa504-802. Small molecule inhibition of BRCA1 phosphorylation effector kinases, ATR and ATM, decreased Tat-dependent transcription, whereas a Chk2 inhibitor showed no effect. Furthermore, BRCA1 was found at the viral promoter and treatment with curcumin and ATM inhibitors decreased BRCA1 LTR occupancy. Importantly, these findings were validated in a highly relevant model of HIV infection and are indicative of BRCA1 phosphorylation affecting Tat-dependent transcription. Conclusions: BRCA1 presence at the HIV-1 promoter highlights a novel function of the multifaceted protein in HIV-1 infection. The BRCA1 pathway or enzymes that phosphorylate BRCA1 could potentially be used as complementary host-based treatment for combined antiretroviral therapy, as there are multiple potent ATM inhibitors in development as chemotherapeutics. http://www.virologyj.com/content/12/1/40 Irene Guendel Beatrix Meltzer Alan Baer Seth Dever Kristoffer Valerie Jia Guo Yuntao Wu Kylene Kehn-Hall Virology Journal 2015, null:40 2015-03-06T12:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s12985-015-0266-8 BRCA1 regulates HIV-1 transcription The multifaceted protein BRCA1 was identified to act as a novel transcriptional cofactor for HIV-1 transcription, indicating BRCA1 pathway or enzymes as targets in antiretroviral therapy. /content/figures/s12985-015-0266-8-toc.gif Virology Journal 1743-422X ${item.volume} 40 2015-03-06T12:00:00Z XML
