Neil H. Nguyen
Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. Joining me today is Omar Choucair, Chief Financial Officer. Before we start, I'd like to have Omar read the Safe Harbor disclosure.
Omar A. Choucair
Good afternoon. I would like to remind listeners that today's discussion may contain certain forward-looking statements related to the company, including the expansion at our digital distribution network and demand among certain clients for digital, audio and video media services. These statements are based on economic marketing conditions as of November 8, 2012 and assume no material changes from conditions that exist today. The company can give no assurance as to whether these conditions will continue or, if they change, how such changes may affect the company's current expectations.
While the company may, from time to time, revise this outlook, it assumes no obligation to do so. Listeners are further cautioned that these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, among other things, our potential inability to further identify, develop and achieve commercial success for new products, risks associated with integrating the MediaMind, EyeWonder, Peer39, North Country and other acquisitions with our operations and personnel; possibility of delays in product development; risks associated with operations in foreign countries; and fluctuations in current exchange risks; risk of new and changing and competitive technologies; risk related to additional impairment of our goodwill or other long-lived assets; the development of competing distribution products; and other risks related to DG's business, which are set forth in the company's filings with the SEC.
Today's call and webcast will include non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of SEC Reg G. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP can be found in today's press release.
At this time, I'll turn the call back to Neil.
Neil H. Nguyen
Thanks, Omar. In looking at the third quarter results, I'm pleased with the sequential improvement in the online operating results, reversing a double-digit decline and these results were achieved in a seasonally weak quarter despite the well-documented pressure in Europe. In our TV segment, while HD penetration continues to grow and pricing appears in the near term to have stabilized, results were below our expectations due to continued lower spending from our entertainment vertical. Last quarter, I had shared that the broad industry trends support a cross-channel strategy. With online video and data-driven products key to our vision, I also relayed that clients were telling us they believe in our strategy and the value proposition that we present.
This quarter, we saw progress with the execution of several large customer wins and contractual commitments. So part of my message today is our strategy is gaining traction. Today, DG sits at the crossroads of an evolving advertising ecosystem, with established assets in both of the most relevant advertising mediums. The convergence of channel is happening where video will be agnostic across screens and the transition from a black box closed system will give way to greater transparency, automated workflow and data-driven advertising as the new operating standard.
The dramatic growth of connected devices globally and consumption of video continues to grow exponentially, representing a massive opportunity for DG to continue evolving and take advantage of the growth trends in online video and data-driven advertising services. At CNET air well [ph], their video ad revenue has grown from $10 million to over $100 million over the past 2 years. As a proof point of this converge strategy, this quarter we have signed several significant TV, video and online deals with some of the largest advertising groups in the world.
I'll discuss some of our key partnerships and customer wins shortly, but first, let me review Q3 highlights. In a seasonally weak quarter, total revenues increased 11% to $94 million. EBITDA was down 11% to 27.6 due to primarily lower TV revenues, along with ongoing investments to integrate the business, product development and a $700,000 negative FX impact.
As I stated at the beginning of the year, 2012 is a year of investment to create the infrastructure and products to leverage the opportunity in front of us and our spending is in line with our plan.
Revenue in the Online segment was $33.7 million, showing a marked improvement from Q2 despite a negative 18% decline in EMEA revenues. As a reminder, historically, EMEA has represented 40% of our Online segment revenues. So we're very pleased that with the integration largely behind us, the addition of key members of management team has stabilized the business and are beginning not only to recapture lost clients but we're on the offensive again.

Jason Caesar - Relax (Your Mind)
Artist: Jason Caesar
Producer: Blank & Jones
Album: Relax (Edition Four)
Avg Rating: 3.1 ( 23 votes )
Feeling stressed lately? Overwhelmed? Looking to put on something soothing, kick back, and simply Relax Your Mind? Well, R&B up-and-comer Jason Caesar (nephew of Grammy-winning gospel singer Shirley Caesar) has got you covered like silk bedsheets; this record (Caesar's first Booth feature) is as chill as it gets—like, martini-in-a-glass-straight-out-of-the-freezer chill. Or, more accurately, Urban Hang Suite chill. The combination of Caesar's dreamy falsetto vocals and German trance duo Blank & Jones mellow, funk-guitar-laced breakbeat is sure to remind neo-soul fans of Maxwell's early work, and if Pretty Wings didn't hit the spot like Ascension did back in '96, it's a good bet that this record will do the trick. If this cut's laid-back, lightly funky ambiance has got you hooked, pick up a copy of Blank & Jones' newly-released Relax (Edition Four) LP, and, of course, stay tuned to the Booth for more of Jason Caesar's mesmerizing R&B stylings.

Three volunteer firemen with the Roseboro Fire Department recently put their training and skills to the test in a fun competition where they brought home top honors, all while helping to raise money for a worthy cause.
Roseboro firemen Keith Smith, Allen Sessoms and Austin Carter traveled to Smithfield last month to participate in the inaugural Johnston County Firemen's Day, which took place at the Rose Manor Shopping Center.
The event was held in honor of Ray Workman and Shane Austin of Johnston County who are both battling cancer — funds raised were to help with their medical expenses — and featured an array of activities and entertainment including a display of fire trucks, a classic car show, a corn hole tournament and live music.
However, the main attraction was the firemen's competition which presented firemen, both professional and volunteer, with a variety of challenges that, while all in good fun and friendly competition, tested their training and skills.
Events included a tug-of-war match, a bucket brigade relay, a water barrel roll, a midnight alarm challenge, a water hose target exercise, and much more.
The trio from Roseboro performed well, competing against men who fight fires for a living, and brought home trophies for placing first in tug-of-war, third in bucket brigade, and third in midnight alarm where firemen were timed at how quickly they could get up from their cots in the fire house, get their gear on, and get in their truck to answer a call. To top it off, they also received the day's top overall honor.
"I think the hardest was bucket brigade," shared Smith, explaining that the firemen had to fill buckets full of water, run to a house facade, throw the water on the house, and hope that most of the water would run down the gutter and quickly fill up their team's bucket at the bottom. "After the first five or six buckets, it gets tough."
Sessoms felt like the water hose target exercise was the hardest challenge of the day, pointing out that he was blindfolded as he tried to accurately direct the water gushing from the fire hose through the center of the target.
"I enjoyed every bit of it but really the tug-of-war was my favorite because I was in front," he added, noting that his position gave him a great view of his opponents being pulled across the line, making he and his team the winners of that challenge.
While some events may have seemed more difficult than others, the Roseboro firemen rose to the challenge and are proud of their efforts and excited to have brought quite a few wins back home to Sampson County.
"I think we did pretty good, especially considering that I went down with only one experienced guy; the other — Austin is the youngest; he's the rookie — only had a few months in," noted Smith, who has been with the Roseboro Fire Department for a little over a year now but has many more years of firefighting experience under his belt.
"I was on in Autryville and Smithfield. I've been in and out of it since the late 80s," he shared, mentioning that his interest in and passion for being a fireman was passed down to him through the men in his family. "It's just because of family. My grandfather was on the Smithfield Rescue and daddy was an aviation firefighter."
Though Smith has the most experience of the three Roseboro firemen, Sessoms has been with Roseboro Fire Department almost nine years, pointing out that being a fireman has been a dream since childhood.
"As a boy, I just always wanted to be a fireman," he said.
Although he had previously participated in other firemen's competitions throughout the years in places like White Lake, Garland and Southport, Sessoms admitted that he was a little surprised he, Smith and Carter performed so well in Smithfield.
"We didn't have much time to practice but we won or placed in most every one of the challenges," he said. "Overall, it was a wonderful day, really great."
In a recent Facebook post, Smith echoed Sessoms, sharing with those who are friends with the fire department on the social media site that "we went not only to support a good cause but (also) to compete and work together with other departments. I feel like our guys did an awesome job not only representing our department's training, teamwork, dedication, and (Roseboro Fire Chief Bobby Owen's) leadership, but the fact that we could go and team with other departments from larger counties, paid and volunteer, and work together as if we trained and worked together with them every day. It is not everyone that can do that."
Earlier this week, Owen expressed his own appreciation for the trio and stressed his pride in their recent accomplishments.
"When I got the call and they told me (about the wins), I was a little surprised. Some of those guys they were up against were guys who do this as a career; they're professionals. But the fire chief is always proud when his guys do a good job and they did that; they did a great job. They represented us well which makes us all proud."

Lions 2013: Jonny Wilkinson out but Sam Warburton is captain
Jonny Wilkinson will not tour with the British and Irish Lions, while Wales' Sam Warburton has been confirmed as captain for the trip to Australia.
Lions boss Warren Gatland has picked Ireland's Jonny Sexton and England's Owen Farrell as his two fly-halves.
"Sam Warburton was always likely to be the choice as captain.
"Experience is massive on a tour like this and Paul O'Connell and Brian O'Driscoll have that Lions experience.
"The big surprise is props Matt Stevens and Mako Vunipola both being selected - they are not in the England squad as first choice.
"I would certainly have taken Jonny Wilkinson. They are going with only two fly-halves and that seems a massive risk."
England captain Chris Robshaw also fails to make the 37-man squad.
England front rowers Dylan Hartley, Mako Vunipola and Matt Stevens, Scots duo Stuart Hogg and Sean Maitland, and Ireland's Conor Murray all tour.
In total, there are 15 Welshmen, 10 players from England, nine from Ireland and three Scots for the tour, which culminates in a three-Test series against the Wallabies.
World Cup-winning former England fly-half Wilkinson put himself in the frame with a man of the match performance as Toulon beat Farrell's Saracens side in the Heineken Cup semi-finals on Sunday.
Gatland spoke to the 33-year-old on Monday about making the trip to Australia but Wilkinson said he was committed to Toulon and that he was not sure if his body was up to touring.
However, Gatland said the pair will speak again in a couple of weeks, adding "if we do have an injury later in the tour we can have conversation then" about Wilkinson potentially being called up as injury cover.
On the subject of only choosing two fly-halves, Gatland said: "We just felt we wanted to give both an opportunity to get three or four games under their belt before the first Test.
"We've taken a risk and we admit that. Stuart Hogg can cover us there and if we do pick up injuries, we'll just have to call on a replacement."
Speaking about his captain Warburton, Gatland said he had "huge respect" for the 24-year-old, whom he appointed as Wales captain in 2011.
"For the last two or three years, he has been the most successful captain in the northern hemisphere," added Gatland.
"It's a fantastically strong squad but if I think about naming the team tomorrow, Sam would be one of the players in there. He leads from the front."
Warburton said he had known he would be captain for "nine or 10 days".
"It's been the hardest secret I've ever had to keep, but I kept it in," added the 24-year-old. "It's unbelievable, it's an accolade which very few people can achieve. To be able to do this is an honour."
Wales supply four back rowers, with Justin Tipuric, Toby Faletau and Dan Lydiate joining Warburton and Ireland captain Jamie Heaslip on the plane.
England second row Geoff Parling tours ahead of fellow England lock Joe Launchbury, while there is no third fly-half option.
The likes of Scotland scrum-half Greig Laidlaw, Wales back James Hook and England inside centre Billy Twelvetrees, who could fill in at fly-half if needed, all miss out, with Scotland full-back Hogg viewed as the utility player who can step in at 10 when required.
Gatland added: "We've looked at the last few weeks in terms of performances. We've had a number of players who have come back from injury.
Lions down under 2013
- Sat 1 June v Barbarians, Hong Kong
- Wed 5 June v Western Force, Perth
- Sat 8 June Queensland Reds, Brisbane
- Tue 11 June Combined NSW-Queensland, Newcastle
- Sat 15 June NSW Waratahs, Sydney
- Tue 18 June ACT Brumbies, Canberra
- Sat 22 June v Australia, Brisbane
- Tue 25 June v Melbourne Rebels, Melbourne
- Sat 29 June v Australia, Melbourne
- Sat 6 July v Australia, Sydney
"The benchmark for a lot of the squad was the Six Nations and then looking at some club form and assessing whether there was the same physical intensity to draw comparison and then finally make the selection of those players.
"If you look at previous tours, there are six to eight players who always get injured. There will be a key group of players who will potentially be called up."
Lydiate and Scotland second row Richie Gray both make the cut, despite injury-hit seasons.
Wales prop Gethin Jenkins is leaving Toulon at the end of the season and it is understood he will be released for the entire trip by the Heineken Cup finalists.
The Lions kick off their tour against the Barbarians in Hong Kong on 1 June, before flying to Australia for a series of warm-up matches against state sides ahead of the Test series against the Wallabies, which takes place on three consecutive Saturdays.
The Lions' last tour of Australia in 2001 ended in a 2-1 series defeat but overall they have won 75% of their games against the Wallabies, with 15 victories in 20 Tests.
Lions squad for 2013 tour
Backs: Leigh Halfpenny (Wales), Stuart Hogg (Scotland), Rob Kearney (Ireland), Tommy Bowe (Ireland), Alex Cuthbert (Wales), Sean Maitland (Scotland), George North (Wales), Jonathan Davies (Wales), Brian O'Driscoll (Ireland), Jamie Roberts (Wales), Manu Tuilagi (England), Owen Farrell (England), Jonathan Sexton (Ireland), Conor Murray (Ireland), Mike Phillips (Wales), Ben Youngs (England).
Forwards: Dan Cole (England), Cian Healy (Ireland), Gethin Jenkins (Wales), Adam Jones (Wales), Matt Stevens (England), Mako Vunipola (England), Dylan Hartley (England), Richard Hibbard (Wales), Tom Youngs (England), Ian Evans (Wales), Richie Gray (Scotland), Alun-Wyn Jones (Wales), Paul O'Connell (Ireland), Geoff Parling (England), Tom Croft (England), Toby Faletau (Wales), Jamie Heaslip (Ireland), Dan Lydiate (Wales), Sean O'Brien (Ireland), Justin Tipuric (Wales), Sam Warburton (Wales).

walshyboy: I think the reason for Edwards ommission is that he will want to use a blitz defence. This system is very effective, but only if everyone buys into it and executes it together. With the limited time they have together they may not have enough time to get everyone in tune! Someone like Farrell is good at getting things done quickly!
@Fist: Will Gats really not pick Phillips?

I don't know any club rugby fans who don't at least follow England as well. Most of them support both.

I was talking to a nice chap from Leicester and I said did you watch the game is reply was you mean the Wal V Eng no he said but I do follow rugby I got a box at Leicester with my m8's he said and I don't follow Eng only Leicester he replied I was amazed but I found a lot of Eng club supporters are the same they like ther clubs and that is it incredible , in Wal it is the other way around .

Good call!
Comment number 2260. Posted by walshyboyon 2 May 2013 11:18
ok we are never going to agree on selection, but as far as I'm concerned, not taking Shaun Edwards as a defence coach is a grave error!
Comment number 2259. Posted by FistOfTheNorthStaron 2 May 2013 10:27
Gatland is looking at partnerships that already exist, like what he did with Wales in 2008.
Expect to see Farrell & Youngs at half back because they play there together for England. Expect AWJ and Evans in the engine room because they play there for Wales.

@2256 Well you may be in danger of having a flash mob and 2000 people turning up and trashing the place....probably for the best not to arrange meet ups on public boards!! Plus every poster you may have crossed over the years!! : )
Comment number 2257. Posted by Fonzon 2 May 2013 10:14
Gatlant's admitted he wanted Wilko on the tour, and even phoned him to sound him out. I wouldn't be surprised to see him join as an injury replacement for any back post Barbara.
Also, I'm gutted for Rory Best, and a couple of others.

Dear Mods
Please could you explain to me why accepting the offer of a drink and watching the rugby with another poster on here, is grounds for a comment to be removed.
Thank you
Love & sloppy kisses
Comment number 2254. Posted by Tiptexton 2 May 2013 10:02
@2245 I feel the tour will pivot on how the No 13's play if both teams get a fare share of go forward ball. The No10 role is not all that influential anymore, he passes or kicks for territory, the 12 crashes or passes...The creativity of No13 is fundamental to how teams play in the modern game, he kicks, passes, crashes & brings in the back 3. We are short at 13, its BOD & his body may not last

@2250 Hi, I think the lions backs are very different in their play to the Aus backs, more contact orientated and less offloading. Unfortunately NH international teams still look to carry ball to defenders, rather than run good lines and risk an extra pass and attack space as way of pulling defenders in. WG has picked a back line of power and size, little creativity, its going to be pretty.
Comment number 2251. Posted by TARWon 2 May 2013 09:26
I see Hook will be playing at fly half for Baa Baas in Hong Kong, if he has a stormer it will make Lions selectors especially Farrell senior squirme a bit with embarrassment!!
Comment number 2250. Posted by AussieDaveon 2 May 2013 07:48
I don't think there's much difference between the 2 back 5's, we're pretty evenly matched. We've struggled for props for a few years now and although things have improved in the last few years, we still have some problems there. I we start moving forward then I think Genia and the backs will cause some problems.
Comment number 2249. Posted by Segneson 2 May 2013 07:30
Let's hope so, flex (2247). I was referring to loose forwards, not locks, in respect of line-out. You see what I mean, though: discounting loose forwards in the 6'2" and less category (short in height and poundage, these days, and embracing Warburton, Tipuric and O'Brien), the Lions may find themselves in a situation in which they have to select Croft or Lydiate. Neither had a great Six nations.
Comment number 2248. Posted by m jon 2 May 2013 07:10
Just 2 tens seems a big shortcoming. And Laidlaw not Murray would have made much more sense giving an extra goal kicker for midweek games, giving main ones a rest. That'll be hard now with just 3 in whole squad! Are they sure about that??
And they may rue not taking Morgan for his charges on the fast grounds. Aussies always have a Morgan in back row, that's a big clue that ours should be there!
Comment number 2247. Posted by flexon 2 May 2013 05:04
@segnes, lineout:Croft, Gray, AWJ, Warburton
And there's plenty of 'poundage' & 'clout' all over the park.
Comment number 2246. Posted by Segneson 2 May 2013 04:13
Are you selling a dummy, AussieDave (2245)? I'm guessing that the Lions' thin second string in the front row has been spotted, along with self-imposed selectional problems in the back row (where will the line-out ball and poundage come from? Their best exponents are second-stringers) and the fact that the second row relies on O'Connell for clout, and I'm expecting a sustained assault at forward.
Comment number 2245. Posted by AussieDaveon 2 May 2013 03:25
My Wallabies team is
14. O'Connor
13. Cooper
12. Lealifano
11. Ioane
10. Barnes
9. Genia
8. Palu
7. Gill
6. Higginbottom
5. Horwill
4. Timani
3. Alexander
2. Polota-Nau
1. Robinson
I think we're going to struggle a little upfront, where the series may be won or lost. I think if Sexton gets injured though then things will turn our way 'cos I don't think Farrell's at the right level.

Cemetry stones in disrepair can be removed
Council updates cemetery rules and regulations.
If a monument, marker or other memorial in the Gothenburg cemetery falls into disrepair, city workers can remove it.Cemetery board members can make that decision if family members of the deceased are notified and choose not to take action.
The regulation is part of other updated cemetery rules and regulations the Gothenburg City Council approved at a council meeting on Aug. 20.
City administrator Bruce Clymer said the rule is necessary to prevent a stone falling on someone or if a monument is in such disrepair that it degrades the cemetery.
Once contact is made with a family, the family has 120 days to make repairs.
Otherwise, cemetery board members will vote whether to remove the marker and if they do, a permanent marker will be placed with costs paid by the city.
Council member Duane Oliver, who also serves on the cemetery board, said three to four monuments might meet deterioration qualifications now.
Cemetery sexton Tim Strauser, who also is a council members, said most families want to take care of monuments needing repair.
Updated cemetery rules and regulations can be viewed at the city website at www.ci.gothenburg.ne.us.

2008 BEST Korean Restaurant
The ok dol bibimbop still has our mouths watering: a bed of rice, crispy at the bottom where it meets the hot stone serving pot; heaps of beef and vegetables; a golden egg yolk that works its way onto everything our chopsticks touch. Nothing could be better—except perhaps the seafood udon, which tastes like that morning's catch. The modest storefront may not boast of the riches inside, but there's no better Korean around.

Meiotic behavior in Panicum maximum Jacq. (Poaceae: Panicoideae: Paniceae): hybrids and their genitors.
The genus Panicum, comprising more than 500 species, is distributed throughout the tropics and warm-temperate regions of both hemispheres (WARMKE, 1951). It is a large and perennial genus that encompasses annual and perennial forms, and includes some economically important species such as P. maximum Jacq., widely known as guinea grass. Panicum maximum is native of Africa, particularly East Africa, Kenya, and Tanzania, where wide genetic diversity is found (BURTON et al., 1973; JAIN et al., 2003).
In Africa, guinea grass has a much wider climatic adaptation in the range than in cultivated pastures. It is variable in size and indumentum of culms, leaves, and panicles. It is a tufted perennial or occasionally an annual species (MUIR; JANK, 2004). Guinea grass is widely used as a cultivated grass, and commercial cultivars have been evaluated in all the continents. Some combined factors make guinea grass one of the primary cultivated C4 grasses, such as: (i) its prolific production makes commercial seed easily available and propagation simple; (ii) its wide range of adaptation has facilitated the release of cultivars for different climatic and edaphic conditions; (iii) its palatability, forage quality and grazing tolerance make it an attractive component of pastures for most ruminants.
Panicum maximum Jacq. is one of the most important forage grass species cultivated in Brazil, where it is known as 'Capim Coloniao'. Worldwide experience in breeding tropical forage grass is limited. Some breeding programs are underway at Embrapa Beef Cattle (Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul State). The majority of forage cultivars actually in use resulted from evaluation and selection of natural ecotypes. In P. maximum Jacq., this procedure resulted in the release of three cultivars, Tanzania-1, Mombaca, and Massai. Effective breeding program in P. maximum Jacq., a predominant apomictic tetraploid species (SAVIDAN et al., 1989), must involve intraspecific hybridization, aiming to exploit the genetic variability. Hybridization in guinea grass is possible due to the occurrence of sexual and apomictic plants.
The Brazilian breeding program of P. maximum Jacq., developed at Embrapa Beef Cattle, is producing intraspecific hybrids that are under agronomic evaluation. Taking into account that polyploid species generally display a great amount of meiotic abnormalities that compromise pollen viability (SINGH, 1993), the present research aims to evaluate the meiotic process in four intraspecific hybrids and their progenitors to investigate the meiotic stability as an additional parameter to select the most interesting hybrid in relation to seed production to attend the commercial seed demand.
Material and methods
Four intraspecific P. maximum Jacq. hybrids (H8, H46, H64, and H69) and their genitors (S8/KK10, S12/T60, and T72/H64) were cytogenetically analyzed. The hybrid H8 resulted from a cross between a S8 sexual (female genitor) with the KK10 apomictic plant (male genitor). The sexual S8 plant was selected from a cross between a sexual plant (previously obtained from a cross between sexual K189 and the apomictic plant G23) and the apomictic plant C1. Thus, the S8 plant is a hybrid plant. The hybrid H46 was obtained from a cross between the sexual S12 with the apomictic plant T60. The hybrids H64 and H69 are full-sibs; they resulted from a cross between the sexual S12 with the apomictic T72 plant. The sexual S12 is also a hybrid plant; it resulted from a cross between the sexual K189 with the apomictic plant K26. The hybrid H46, H64, and H69 are half-sibs. The sexual plant K189 was the first sexual diploid plant of P. maximum Jacq. found in nature, in 1967, by researchers of former Institut Francais de Recherche Scientifique pour le Developpment en Cooperation (ORSTOM), in Korogwe (Tanzania).
The male and female plants used in hybridization belong to the Embrapa Beef Cattle germplasm collection of P. maximum Jacq., allocated at Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil, comprising about 426 apomictic tetraploid accessions and 417 sexual tetraploid plants. The germplasm was collected by ORSTOM, in East African savannas, in 1967 and 1969. Through a cooperation-agreement between ORSTOM and Embrapa, established in 1982, the germplasm was sent to Embrapa Genetic Resources and Biotechnology Center--Cenargen (Brazil). After quarantine, they were transferred to Campo Grande, where they are kept in plots in the field. The site characteristics of cultivation in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil are: climate type Aw: tropical humid savanna; average annual precipitation = 1526 mm; average temperature = 22[degrees]C; altitude 520 m; latitude = 20[degrees] 28' S; longitude = 55[degrees] 40' W; poor dark red Latossol (soil composed of 59% sand; 8% silt and 33% clay; pH = 4.2).
Inflorescences for meiotic study were collected and fixed in a mixture of 95% ethanol, chloroform and propionic acid (6:3:2) for 24 hours, transferred to 70% alcohol and stored under refrigeration until use. Microsporocytes were prepared by squashing and staining with 0.5% propionic carmine. Photomicrographs were taken in a Wild Leitz microscope using Kodak Imagelink--HQ, ISO 25 black and white film. The number of plants analyzed varied from 6 to 9 among hybrids and from 2 to 10 among genitors, depending on their availability.
Results and discussion
Breeding of apomictic species depends on the availability of totally or highly sexual plants. The discovery of sexual plants of guinea grass in East Africa was an important step for the development of improved cultivars of this species throughout intraspecific hybridization (COMBES; PERNES, 1970; NAKAGIMA et al., 1979). Guinea grass has a base chromosome number x = 8, and most plants are apomictic and tetraploid, 2n = 4x = 32. However, the sexual forms found in East Africa are diploid, 2n = 2x = 16 (JAIN et al., 2003). The sexual diploid plants were doubled with colchicine to obtain tetraploid plants for use in hybridization breeding programs (NAKAGAWA; HANNA, 1992). The ORSTOM tetraploid plants were sent only to Brazil.
The hybrids under analysis represent the first attempt to exploit the genetic variability through hybridization in Brazil. It is well known, however, that hybridization in polyploid plants increases the frequency of meiotic abnormalities, compromising seed production (SINGH, 1993). Cytogenetic data obtained from analyses in the four hybrids (Table 1) showed some meiotic abnormalities that could compromise pollen viability. All genotypes were tetraploid with 2n = 4x = 32 and presented irregular chromosome segregation in both meiotic divisions (Figure 1).
Irregular chromosome segregation, characterized by precocious chromosome migration to the poles at metaphases (Figure 1b and f), laggard chromosomes at anaphases (Figure 1c and g), leading to micronuclei formation at telophases (1c, d, e, and h) and tetrads (Figure 1i) were recorded in all the hybrids and their genitors in different amounts. Such abnormalities are typical of polyploids and have widely been reported in other Poaceae forage grasses such as Paspalum (FREITAS et al., 1997; PAGLIARINI et al., 2001) and Brachiaria (MENDES-BONATO et al., 2002; 2006; UTSUNOMIYA et al., 2005; RISSO-PASCOTTO et al., 2006), including accessions and hybrids in the latter. Irregular chromosome segregation, by forming unbalanced gametes, is the main cause of pollen sterility in polyploids, compromising seed production.
Another abnormality recorded in all the genotypes, except in T60, was chromosome stickiness, but in low frequency (Figure 2). This abnormality, by clumping the chromosomes, impairs the correct segregation at anaphases, giving rise to bridges that are broken at telophases. Chromosome stickiness causing pollen sterility has been widely reported in higher plants and in high frequency among Paspalum (PAGLIARINI et al., 2000) and Brachiaria accessions (MENDESBONATO et al., 2001) and Brachiaria hybrids (RISSO-PASCOTTO et al., 2005; FUZINATTO et al., 2007; ADAMOWSKI et al., 2008).
Absence of the first cytokinesis after telophase I was also found in all the male and female genitors and their hybrids (Figure 3), but in different frequencies. The most affected genotype was the female genitor S12 that transmitted the characteristic to their hybrids H46 and H64. In these, the percentage of cells lacking the first cytokinesis was around 30%. Although the first cytokinesis did not occur at the correct time, it occurred simultaneously with the second cytokinesis after telophase II, generating normal tetrads. Absence of the first and/or the second cytokinesis, generating monads, dyads, and triads with binucleated microspores or 2n microspores have also been reported in Paspalum (PAGLIARINI et al., 1999) and Brachiaria (RISSO PASCOTTO et al., 2003; UTSUNOMIYA et al., 2005; RISSO-PASCOTTO et al., 2006; BOLDRINI et al., 2006; GALLO et al., 2007). In P. maximum Jacq., as both cytokinesis occurred simultaneously at the end of meiosis and gave rise to normal tetrads, the percentage of meiocytes with this abnormality was discounted from the total of abnormalities. Thus, the percentage of meiotic abnormalities that could compromise pollen viability was estimated at 10.5% in S8, 7.7% in KK10, and 13.2% in its hybrid H8; 13.8% in S12, 11.1% in T60, and 14.2% in its hybrid H46; 10.5% in T72, and 12.1% in H64 and 6.7% in H69 hybrids. The frequency of meiotic abnormalities found in P. maximum Jacq., as expected for intraspecific hybrids, was much lower than that reported in Brachiaria interspecific hybrids, which ranged from 18 to 76% (RISSO-PASCOTTO et al., 2005; FUZINATTO et al., 2007; ADAMOWSKI et al., 2008). The P. maximum Jacq. breeding program, started at Embrapa Beef Cattle in 1990, aims to combine, in a single plant, several characteristics. Cytogenetic studies could help researchers select those hybrids with high meiotic stability, thus increasing the chance of high seed production.
Although apomictic, P. maximum Jacq. is pseudogamic, i.e., it needs viable male gametes to fertilize the polar nucleus of the embryo sac to guarantee endosperm development and seed formation (SAVIDAN, 1982). The amount of meiotic abnormalities recorded in the present hybrids and their progenitors, ranging from 6.7 to 14.2%, is not enough to severely compromise seed production. These hybrids, although still under agronomic evaluation, are presenting good seed production. Microsporogenesis seems not to be evaluated in P. maximum Jacq. hybrids, although it had been studied in several accessions (WARMKE, 1951; HAMOUD et al., 1994; JAIN et al., 2003). In the present hybrids, evaluation of the chromosome pairing at diakinesis (Figure 1a) revealed that quadrivalents occur, but in low frequency, ranging from one to three. The number of quadrivalents evaluated in accessions varied from zero to seven, but largely predominating from one to three (WARMKE, 1951; HAMOUD et al., 1994; JAIN et al., 2003). Chromosome association between the genitor genomes is required to recombine the desirable genes to create genetic variability to be exploited in the breeding program.
Hybrids and genitors showed a low amount of meiotic abnormalities and high pollen viability can be expected. Multivalent chromosome configurations at diakinesis suggest that genetic recombination and introgression of some genes can be expected in the hybrids. Based on meiotic behavior, the hybrids should be selected for high seed production, and the genitors could remain in the program participating in other intraspecific crosses.

After we finished painting, we played in the sandbox for a while making "sand drinks" and "sand cakes." Keenan was pretending our drinks and cakes were all kinds of flavors, such as chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla, strawberry, etc. To decorate our cakes, we picked-up leaves from the ground and added them to the top. It was a lot of fun! Since I haven't pruned or weeded in a while, Keenan was my "Gardening Helper." He helped me "prune," by holding the branches/areas that needed a trim, picking them up and putting them in piles. As a team, we got everything trimmed and picked-up before lunch!
Fun in the sandbox!
Speaking of help, Keenan is all about helping these days. He loves to get his little step stool and help us cook, bake, wash dishes and make the coffee. In the last two weeks, he has taken more of an interest in helping us with daily tasks. It is so cute, because he always says, "Keenan help Mommy do dishes", or "Keenan help Daddy make coffee." I hope it continues!
After we finished painting and cleaning-up our back yard, we had lunch. Instead of going on and on about our lunch (since I want to keep things fresh and " mix things up a bit "), here is a picture of Keenan's ( leftover quesadilla from yesterday) and I forgot to take a picture of mine (a loaded turkey sandwich with spinach, lettuce, tomato, avocado and carrots), sorry!
Keenan's lunch!
Of course, lunch wouldn't be complete without a cheesy smile!
Now, onto Quest Bars :
The box of samples!
Quest Bars are protein bars that are different than most nutrition bars out there. They are made with wholesome ingredients and very few of them, at that! The ingredients are whey protein, milk protein isolate, almond butter or peanut butter (depending on the bar), dry roasted almonds or peanuts (depending on the bar), cocoa, sea salt, stevia and any other natural flavors. In addition, they are packed with protein (20 grams per bar) and fiber (17-18 grams per bar)! Also, they are pretty low in calories considering how much nutrition you are getting. Each bar is roughly 160-200 calories. It is definitely a lot of bang for your calorie buck!
Good nutrition!
The kind folks at Quest Nutrition generously sent me a sample pack of their bars to try. Of course, I had to try the chocolate peanut butter bar first and WOW, it was good! I ate it after my workout last Friday and shared some with Keenan. I have to say, I'm pretty critical when it comes to nutrition bars. They have to be loaded with nutrition, low on calories, and full of flavor for me to really like them and even buy them. If I am going to eat something processed, it better be worth it! I have to say Quest has done a really good job, because the flavor was great, definitely very chocolatey with hints of peanut butter. The one downside was the bar was pretty hard, thus making it a little difficult to chew. Quest does recommend microwaving the bar for a few seconds, in order for it to soften like a cookie. I haven't tried that, but I plan to with the next bar that I eat. I also tried the coconut cashew (sharing it with my husband) and it was good, too! If you don't like chocolate peanut butter or coconut cashew, there are many other flavors to choose from, such as: vanilla almond crunch, peanut butter and jelly, chocolate brownie, mixed berry, cheesecake, apple pie and cinnamon roll. All, in all, I definitely recommend Quest Bars, because they not only taste good, but they are one of the only bars that I have seen that are packed with good nutrition and wholesome ingredients. They are a perfect meal replacement, if you are on the go and don't have time to prepare breakfast or lunch, or they are great for a post-workout snack. You can buy them directly from their website , Amazon or even in some local stores.
The lineup of flavors!
Since Keenan just woke up, it is time for a little fun with play doh, before heading to CrossFit. I'm helping to teach the beginners class tonight, so I'm going later. As for dinner, we are having chicken fajitas , since we have been craving Mexican food!
Questions: Do your children like to help you with daily tasks? If so, what kinds of things do they like to help with?

Gear Question
I was looking at this and the Apex Bionic...
I was looking at this and the Apex Bionic but there are so many similar North Face jackets, I don't know really what's what. I'm looking for a jacket that is strongly wind and water resistant (Climateblock rating preferably or the Goretex version because of breath-ability). For now I'll use it as a hiking, light skiing and casual jacket that I'll pair with a tougher shell later on for cold weather skiing, etc. Any insight would be a huge help!
Dwayne Vincent
I dont own any APEX, but I cant say enough good things about my North Face softshell. Works great in the wet Southern Ontario winters
Did you find it to be breathable when your body heats up?

|Defending champions fall way behind in Rolex 24

Allmendinger is seven laps down after breaking a piece of suspension Saturday on his Ford Riley.
Allmendinger was suspended by NASCAR last season for failing a random drug test and sent home hours before the July race at Daytona. He was hoping to make a triumphant return while defending his Rolex title.
Instead, Allmendinger and his Michael Shank Racing teammates - Oswaldo Negri, Justin Wilson, John Pew and Marcos Ambrose - could have a tough time catching up. Then again, anything can and often does happen in the 24-hour endurance test that kicks off the racing season.
Chip Ganassi Racing teammates Scott Pruett and Scott Dixon were running first and second after the race's first hour.

As New City contemplates the upcoming year of ministry–the things God will set out to do and the potential obstacles that stand in the way–these words from Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones' 1959 sermon The Purpose of Revival, gave me great comfort and courage:
The Children of Israel were about to enter the promised land and they had been hearing about all these tribes: the Hittites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. The spies had been sent forward and they came back and said, "You know, there are giants in that land and when we looked at them we felt that we were as grasshoppers." And they were trembling, they were afraid of these great powers that they had to meet when they entered the promised land. Here is the answer: when you know that the living God is amongst you, what are the Hittites, who are the Girgashites and the Jebusites? What are the whole lot of them put together? They become as nothing. The fear of men is taken away immediately when we realize that the living God is among us. And if ever the Church needed this, it is now.

US Speaker of the House Republican John Boehner speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington DC, USA, 10 July 2014. Boehner criticized US President Barack Obama's economic policies.
House Speaker John Boehner announced Thursday the Republican-led lawsuit against President Barack Obama will focus on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the White House decision to delay the employer mandate.
"In 2013, the president changed the health care law without a vote of Congress, effectively creating his own law by literally waiving the employer mandate and the penalties for failing to comply with it. That's not the way our system of government was designed to work," Boehner said in a statement.
The House Rules Committee will hold a hearing next week to discuss the legislation that would authorize a lawsuit against the president.
Obama has dismissed the suit as a political stunt, saying he has taken action only because Republicans in Congress have been unwilling to negotiate.

By MAZWIN NIK ANIS, MARTIN CARVALHO, RAHIMY RAHIM and EILEEN NG firstname.lastname@example.com
KUALA LUMPUR: A carnival-like atmosphere prevailed at Batu Caves when thousands converged there to celebrate Deepavali.
The crowd included tourists who gathered there as early as 8am to attend the MIC open house at the temple grounds, where they were served vegetarian Indian dishes and treated to cultural performances.
German tourist Andrea Niepalla (pic), 29, said it was her first Deepavali celebration.
She said she enjoyed the unique experience of celebrating it with people of various religions.
"It was an eye-opener and I was happy to see all the different races mingling with one another," she said.
"I also managed to try delicious local Indian dishes and would definitely come to Malaysia again."
Michel Wilmer, 38, a businessman, said he enjoyed the Indian cultural performances and was enlightened by the community's traditions.
Niepalla and Wilmer were among the foreigners who joined Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak at the open house.
Nurse Leong Siew Ping, 35, said it was wonderful to meet the Prime Minister and other leaders at the event.
"I've always wanted to meet the Prime Minister," she said.
Marketing manager Amir Abu Bakar, 45, said he brought his family for the celebration as early as 8am to avoid the massive traffic.
"My family has made it a tradition to attend the Deepavali celebrations here every year," he said.
Also present at the event were Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai, Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim, Malaysia's special envoy on infrastructure to India and South Asia Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu and other Barisan leaders.
Najib later attended another Deepavali open house hosted by the Malaysian Associated Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MAICCI) in the city.
Speaking to reporters, MAICCI president Datuk K.K. Eswaran called on the Indian community to give their full support to the Government and be united to face the global challenges.
"We should not be taken in by those who go around telling lies and issuing empty promises," he said.
He added that under Najib's leadership, the Government had done all it could for the Indian business community.
The open house also saw Eswaran giving Deepavali gifts to orphans and the elderly. Najib also went on stage to cut a cake.

It is good idea to familiarise yourself with the symptoms because it important to take action fast. In fact, if you suspect that your bees have either of the two types you are legally required to contact the National Bee Unit - so that your local bee inspector can examine your hive. You do not need to be embarrassed about discovering this disease, in fact quite the opposite; you have done a service to the bee keeping community in stopping the spread of the disease. There are two types:
American Foulbrood (AFB)
This is the most serious of the two but the least widespread. Contrary the what the name suggest - American Foulbrood is not an American problem - it occurs in the UK also. American Foulbrood is a bacterium that infects the larvae. It lives in their guts and causes them to die after the brood is sealed. Unfortunately, there is no way of curing a colony with AFB and the colony will have to be destroyed. The symptoms are:
European Foulbrood (EFB)
This is slightly less serious to AFB but is much more widespread. This is bacterial infection similar to AFB, however the larvae are killed by the bacteria before the cell is capped. There are treatments for EFB, but only if it is caught early. The symptoms are:
If you are unsure if your bees have either of these diseases, you should the National Bee Unit. For more detailed information about either American Foulbrood or European Foulbrood you should visit the Bee Base website for their helpful advisory leaflets

Religious and civil society organizations come together to take action for children
MAPUTO, Mozambique, 23 March 2012 - On March 22, Faith Based Organizations (FBO) and Civil Society Organizations (CSO) represented by ROSC met to discuss and agree on the establishment of a strong partnership to undertake joint activities aimed at addressing issues related to the promotion and protection of the rights of the children.
The agreement reached encourages, among other activities, the religious groups to discuss in a very systematic way issues affecting the well-being of children in their congregations during religious services, as well as to mobilize their members to develop a positive attitude towards the children in the country. In another development, the religious groups agreed to work hand in hand with civil society organisations through ROSC in order to influence social policies and national and international legislation on child rights.

Thankfully that isn't reason enough to ban something, else people would have to forgo many fundamental human rights that frequently tend to get in the way of perceived "development".
Whichever side of the fence you may be on, it is hard to dispute the fact that NGOs, as a collective, have proven to be a force to reckon with. They have been more than successful in holding the mirror to the government, and provided some, if not a lot, of conscience to its actions on a number of occasions.
Greenpeace alone, since its inception, has caused much discomfort to the governments around the world.
In the recent report by the Intelligence Bureau (IB), Greenpeace stood accused of being a "threat to national economic security". Their campaigns against coal mining, nuclear plants, deforestation and other such activities has earned them the ire of Indian government officials, who saw it fit to demonise the organisation as being 'anti-development'.
Impacts economic growth?
For instance, the report states the negative impact of the NGOs' role on GDP growth to be "2-3% per annum". Greenpeace has slammed this claim, calling it ridiculous. "3% of India's GDP is over 3.3 lakh crores – more than the coal and 2G scams put together! Leaving aside the IB's questionable math and understanding of economics, the burden of proof is on them to substantiate their wild claims with evidence," the organisation said in a statement. "However, we must also realise that environmental degradation is believed to be reducing India's GDP by 5.7% pa according to the World Bank."
It is no secret that that organisations such as Greenpeace and Amnesty International make the corporates very uncomfortable. But irrespective of the government in power, or their equation with the corporates, they have hardly ever shared an amiable relationships with the Ngos.
READ the six sins of being an NGO in India, according to Intelligence Bureau
People centric?
Among other things that Greenpeace was accused of was being "people centric". The fact that thisis even an issue, speaks more about IB than the Ngos. "Yes, Greenpeace does run "people-centric" campaigns," says their statement. "Why is this seen as negative? People have a right to, and to demand for, clean air, water, forests, livelihoods and a liveable climate."
ALSO READ: What is "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" if you are actually calling us 'anti-development': Greenpeace India to Narendra Modi government
One of major highlights of the report was the anti-nuclear activities of these organisations. Campaigns by Greenpeace, from protests against the Kudankulum Nuclear Power Plant to demand a stronger Nuclear Liabilities Bill have created hurdles in the government's initiatives to make India a nuclear empowered state. Greenpeace, very proudly, admits to being guilty as charged. "GP believes that nuclear energy is an inherently unsafe and risky technology that is not required. We work to expose nuclear accidents/safety loopholes because they are a public safety issue. We believe the industry must be held accountable for accidents arising out of faulty equipment," they state.
"The nuclear civil liability law that GP has worked to bring to the country is intended to ensure recompense for citizens by the equipment company in case of a disaster. This ensures the Indian tax payer is saved crores of rupees in case of an accident and the foreign nuclear supplier is not let off scot free — how is this anti national?" they question.
READ: Is Intelligence Bureau targetting NGOs that could oppose Narendra Modi
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs), another of the government-corporate initiatives, has faced a lot of flack from activists, and NGOs. So it is no surprise that the IB would make a case study out of it to build their 'anti-development' argument against NGOs. "GMOs pose a potential risk to public health, environment and to farmers. It's so far been an unpredictable technology and once the GMOs are released into the environment, it can't be controlled or called back," says Greenpeace in defense.
They go a step further to throw the IB's 'government-funded' comment back at them. "While the IB accuses us of representing foreign interests, GMO technology is being pushed in India by US multinationals like Monsanto," they point out.
Greenpeace has actively campaigned against indiscriminate use of coal and resulting deforestation. Most controversial perhaps is their head-on conflict with Essar Group over mining in Mahan forests in Madhya Pradesh. Along with the members of the Mahan Sangharsh Samiti, they have been protesting against the Mahan Coal Ltd's (a joint venture of Essar Power and Hindalco) proposed coal mine in the Mahan forests.
Even as attempts to intimidate villagers through arrests continue, organisations have continued to exert pressure through campaigns such as Van Satyagraha. "Burning of fossil fuels, primarily coal, are the main cause of climate change. If we are to slow the rate of climate change. The developed world is shifting away from coal and towards renewable energy; India is uniquely posed to avoid repeating the mistakes of others," they state.
As an alternate, Greenpeace recommends and promotes the use of solar energy.
READ: How solar energy can help resolve Delhi's power crisis
"Our work on coal is focussed around ensuring that the laws of the land are not violated. These include the Forest Conservation Act, Wildlife Protection Act, the Forest Rights Act, etc. ," they explain. "Our work in Mahan, Singrauli has highlighted the ongoing violation of some of these laws. The people of Mahan are asking that their rights, guaranteed under the Forest Rights Act, are recognised, something that the state government has deliberately failed to do," they state.
Cohorts with AAP?
Greenpeace was also accused of keeping the company of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), a fact that was not looked upon favourably by the IB. "Pankaj Singh, a consultant to Greenpeace decided to use what he thought would be a great personal opportunity to join AAP," they explain in their statement. "Greenpeace did not contribute money to his campaign and we are clear that our supporter's money needs to be spent on campaigns and not on funding one political party or the other. We continues to believe that we need to engage with all political parties to bring about a better planet," they added in conclusion.
While the IB and Greenpeace have had their say on the report, public discourses and discussions refuse to placate. And even as people debate whether organisations such as Greenpeace should be allowed to continue their work, it is imperative that we take a moment to comprehend the facts. Do we really want to step into a territory, where stepping over the right of humanitarian organisations to exist is justified in the name of development?

Started with Morrowind and I still remember how pissed I was when my arrows couldn't hit the guy standing like a statue right in front of me.
I had the exact same experience. Started it up, found a guide on this website, made my character according to the recommendations, spent a few hours trying to steal THIS ONE KEY sitting on a shelf near the guy who ends your character creation sequence, get some gear that's geared towards what my character does, and head into what the guide called "Baby's First Dungeon"; something meant to be an ease into the game's fighting mechanics.
I head in there and kill the melee bandit and the ranged bandit (using cheats so that my health continually refills, since I had the XBOX version). Then, I meet a mage, and for some reason, I just CANNOT hit him. Despite my epic health regen cheats, he still killed me. I just sat there, stunned, completely unsure of what the hell just happened. All of my attacks missed, and the mage killed me, despite the cheats I was using. I don't usually play games with cheats unless I feel it'd be fun, and in this case, not even cheats could make up for poor luck. Stopped playing it, never picked it up again. When I'm playing a first-person style game, I expect that when my giant freaking sword cleaves through their bodies, that it will AT LEAST take damage.
I had oblivion but I hated it, decided to give skyrim a chance and I'm glad I did.

Technically, Morrowind. Tried it, hated it, forgot about it. Played Oblivion, fell in love, went back and played Morrowind, was reminded why I hated it. Damn game was more of a chore to play than it was fun at times.
pretty much the same for me except i skipped Oblivion and went with Skyrim
Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

Try your best to look like a German. Take creative control but don't go into too much effort to make your dancer look like a little German girl with her white top and black bottom. Hair: two braids on each side of their head Face: make "rosey" colored cheecks- add freckles- have fun. Meet at 3:30 behind the stage, near the baseball concession stand ready to dance.Tags:

Anyone else have a strong willed child? I have a 5 year old daughter and we have been having problems with her off and on for the last year or so. I talked to her doctor and she referred me to a child psychologist. This is the second doctor to do this. I don't really like the idea of her going to a child psycologist at the age of 5. She won't do what she is told, she is very bossy and controlling with her little friend, also tries to tell me and daddy what we can and cannot do sometimes, we try to punish her by taking toys away and that doesn't do anything she could really care less. We tell her no toys, no going outside, no playing on her Innotab and nothing seems to bother her. We don't know what else to do with her. Anyone else have this problem? Advice please :)

I don't have any personal experience (my DD is only 6 mo old) other than the fact that I work in a school so I am around all type of kids everyday. We have been trained in the Love and Logic method of parenting/teaching which seems to work really well at the school I am at now. Not sure how much help it would be for you but it can't hurt to try. Sorry I don't have more advice for you.

There is a book called the Strong Willed Child and I have 3 friends that swear by it for their very strong willed boys.
I have the love and logic books and the strong willed child books... my son is the same way as your daughter. Love and Logic worked with him because it's about empowering the child to make the right decisions. There are workshops out here on it... I have taken one. It has done WONDERS in my house!!
