The Vibrio cholerae diguanylate cyclase VCA0965 has an AGDEF active site and synthesizes cyclic di-GMP
1 Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA
2 BEACON Center for the Study of Evolution in Action, Michigan State University, 5180 BPS 567 Wilson Road, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA
BMC Microbiology 2014, 14:22 doi:10.1186/1471-2180-14-22Published: 4 February 2014
Diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) regulate biofilm formation and motility in bacteria by synthesizing the second messenger cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) in response to environmental stimuli. DGC enzymatic activity is believed to be dependent on the presence of a GG(D/E)EF active site motif, however approximately 25% of known DGCs contain a degenerate active site. The Vibrio cholerae protein VCA0965 contains an AGDEF active site and is presumed to be an inactive DGC.
Ectopic expression of VCA0965 in V. cholerae causes a 3-fold reduction in flagellar-based motility. Additionally, an RXXD allosteric inhibition mutant of VCA0965 strongly inhibited motility and stimulated biofilm formation. This activity was lost when the active site of VCA0965 was mutated to AGDAF, suggesting that VCA0965 synthesizes c-di-GMP. In support of this, ectopic expression of VCA0965 and VCA0965 containing a mutation in its RXXD motif significantly increased the intracellular c-di-GMP levels in V. cholerae and Escherichia coli. Furthermore, we found that purified VCA0965 was able to synthesize c-di-GMP in vitro. Systematic mutation of the first amino acid in the AGDEF motif of VCA0965 revealed that glycine, methionine, and histidine also produced an active DGC capable of inhibiting motility and increasing the intracellular concentration of c-di-GMP in V. cholerae.
Based on these results, we conclude that VCA0965 is capable of c-di-GMP synthesis and that the first amino acid of the GG(D/E)EF motif is more tolerant of substitutions than currently appreciated.

China begins her journey through motherhood
China Cojuangco and chef Gino Gonzalez are now proud parents of Lucia Margarita Ysabel. China gave birth last Aug. 20 at 12:32 a.m. to a six-lb., 11-oz. baby girl. I teased her and said she was now officially a hot mama.
Chins shared these postpartum thoughts with me: "What excites me the most are simple things like shopping for baby necessities. What scares me is getting the statement of account from my credit card (Hahaha!). Motherhood is a lifetime journey that will really change the way I am as a person. There are much more responsibilities that I have to face now. I think not only of myself but also of my baby. I get scared that I might drop Lucia while carrying her or I might not have enough milk to keep her little tummy full. My mom and my sisters haven't really given me a deep pep talk on motherhood. We're taking things step by step. But the way I see it, they are leaving it up to me on how to raise Lucia. They talk to me about being patient in breast-feeding. I want to be a hands-on mom and Lucia's best friend. I will be in tune with the present generation but instill the right morals and values that my parents have taught me. I will set rules and limitations. I will raise her to be well-mannered, well-disciplined, respectful of elders and God-fearing."
Gino echoes those same sentiments: "Being a dad is an inexplicable feeling! It's a mixture of being happy, anxious and scared at the same time. But seeing Lucia makes me smile." Congrats, China and Gino!
Welcome to the crazy yet wonderful world of parenthood.
Fave haven
Life is too short to spend too long in one place. That's why I make it a point to go on a solo journey every now and then. My new "happy place" is Bellevue Bohol. It really is paradise found. It's fast becoming the fave haven of celebs in Bohol.
Recently, chef Luigi Muhlach held a cookout series in the resort. His dad, Aga, joined him for some father-and-son bonding.
Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera visited the resort for the Sandugo festival.
Bellevue will be mounting a triathlon event ("Defy 123") on Oct.13 (http://www.swimbikerun.ph/2013/05/defy-123-triathlon-bellevue-resort-bohol-race-info/). On Nov. 25, there will be a grand celebration of its first anniversary. Allow me to thank my "B fam" for the best vacay ever: the three cool top honchos Ryan, Dustin and Patrick Chan, Suzette Morelos, Erwyn Damasig, Mulan Demecillo, Rommel Gonzales, Sheila Oyao, Shirley Vidaurrazaga, Homer Dioneda, Erwin Abueva and Ivory Legados.
I am still in a Bohol state of mind because of your hospitality and kindness. Thanks for giving me a taste of la belle vie!
Friends again
Many controversies ago, Claudine Barretto and I were gravely at odds. But when I bumped into her manager, Shirley Kuan, a few months after she went Dolly-bashing, I was the one who made the first move and told her that I hoped we could just forget the whole issue. I never retaliated because I knew that she was just doing her job to protect her ward.
It was so heartwarming to finally make peace with Claud at the mini-presscon that her indefatigable lawyer, Ferdie Topacio, hosted for her.
I was so touched when she told me, "I never got mad at you because you already planted a good seed in me long before. I hope you can give me a chance to be your friend again."
I could feel the sincerity in her voice. We enjoyed our girl bonding so much, that we almost lost track of time. She said she was relieved to be "free" from Raymart Santiago but disappointed at how he and his brother Randy were handling matters. "Gentlemen should not talk too much," she sighed. "Raymart hit my weakest spot— our kids—so it has made me stronger. I will fight for what's best for my children."
After all the media coverage, Ferdie, Claud, her close friends and I enjoyed singing the night away. As Claud sang "Got to Believe in Magic" and "The Last Time I Felt Like This," I could sense that even if her arms were empty, now that Raymart was no longer around to hug, her heart remained full of hope for happier tomorrows.
Thank you, Claud, for showing me that friendship is sweeter the second time around.

A proposed financial-transaction tax in Europe could cost U.S. companies as much as $35 billion, according to a report from ICI Global. The potential tax could harm covered repurchase agreements that U.S. funds enter into with banks in France and Germany. "To compensate for the tax, French and German banks would need to pay nearly 50 times as much for seven-day repo funding at current yields," said Shelly Antoniewicz of ICI Global. "Even for repos with longer maturities, investors would be hard pressed to justify an investment."

Londonderry Restaurants
We usually eat here during our annual ski weekend in February. It is located in an old barn filled with old tools and exposed wooden beams. It is very dark inside and it may take a while to get used to the dim light. They do not accept reservations. On our most recent visit (Feb '12) our party of eight was told there would be an hour and 15 minute wait. We all went to the bar and ordered drinks and just as the last person was served we were told our table was ready. They appeared to be short staffed because although there were empty tables the service was very slow. Most of our party enjoyed our entrees.
The atmosphere is outstanding.
Favorite Dish: I usually go with one of the items listed on the special menu. This past visit I got the London Broil which was very tender and cooked just the way I ordered it(medium rare).Related to:
- Food and Dining
- Family Travel
- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons
They do not really push this place as a restaurant to tourists. You need to walk past the check in desk and through the lobby and past the bar to get to the dining room. Patrons are mainly folks staying here with a few local walk-ins. Large menu with many entries some with Swiss/German accent.Related to:
- Family Travel
- Business Travel
We are sure to stop in here on our (almost) annual trip to ski in the area. We have only had 'bar' type food, pizza, cheesesteaks, burgers, etc. One of these trips we'll have to get into the dinner menu. Service is great.
Favorite Dish: They serve the Vermont brewed Longtrail.Related to:

Rich in antioxidants
Plums are full of antioxidants which are very beneficial for the body. Beta carotenes are also available in plums. These compounds are the substances that protect you from different types of cancers like lung and oral cavity cancers etc. Another antioxidant known as Anththocyanins is present in the plums that make the fruit red colour. It is also present in strawberries and other red coloured berries. That is why plums have properties to prevent cell damaging.
Heart benefits
Plums contain minerals like potassium, fluoride and iron which are required for red blood cell formation. So this makes the heart rate moderate and checks blood pressure. That is why the nutritional benefits of plums provides you a healthy heart.
Good for eyes
Vitamin A is most essential for healthy eyes and good vision. It keeps mucus membrane healthy. One of the important dietary fibre known as zeaxanthin is best for your retina. It protects the eyes from harmful UV light.
Aids digestion
Plums stimulate the bowel movement. Its skin contains a substance that is responsible for that effect so if you peel the fruit you won't be bothered with the well-known side effects of this lovely fruit. The compounds, sorbitol and isatin found in plums help to regulate the functioning of the digestive system and relieve constipation.
Beneficial for weight loss
It also removes toxins and prevents constipation leading to lose weight naturally. Plum is rich in fibre and antioxidants which aid proper digestion and good metabolism. It contains citric acid which prevents tiredness and cramps. It also improves liver and gastrointestinal function. Thus eating plums or drinking plum juice regularly will help you shed those extra pounds easily.
Culinary benefits
Plums can be made into wine, jam and chutney, juices, jellies, marmalades and cakes. They can be eaten raw as well can be used in some dishes as an ingredient.
Used for making wine
Plum is used for the production of wine in China, cider-like alcoholic beverage (called plum jerkum) in England and for plum brandy (called slivovitz) in Serbia. Plum can survive up to 20 years when it is cultivated under optimal conditions.

After a chilly nights sleep we awoke to frost on our tent and bikes. Maurizio riding a GS1150 with Tourances decided that its best he get a head start and took off for the end of the North road. Following soon after was Ted and myself but we decided to stop and get food at the gas station half way along. The others were fighting with Chris' funduro trying to get it started, which they did by bump starting it a few times until it caught.
Somehow durring all of this the third group MISSED seeing us at the resturant/gas station and drove by thinking we had gone to Nemaska for gas instead. When they got there and no one had seen bikes they decided to back track and look back at the first gas station. Meanwhile everyone else was grouping up at the end of the north road and wondering what was taking so long!
Finally we all grouped up sharing some confused looks as we tried to puzzle out how we had passed each other on a road with only one intersection.
From there we headed north on the James bay road crossing the 52nd parallel.
Passed some beautiful scenery
As we cruised the cross winds became stronger and stronger until we were scraping pegs on straights or flying around corners without having to lean at all. I very odd feeling.
Here's a vide showing the wind.
Then just as we made the last 40Km into Radisson it started to rain. We all looked at each other and said F*** this, Lets get a motel!
Here's all our stuff drying out. A floor fan is running, the AC is on to remove humidity and then the heater is on so we don't freeze. It worked out and all our stuff got dry.
We then had beers all around and crashed for the night!

I like to keep mine hooked on a lanyard, which I either wear around my neck or on a belt loop. The lanyard I have also came with a small Mametchi plush with a velcro bacpack made to hold Tamas.
Posted 20 April 2013 - 02:00 PM ( #27 )
I just carry mine in my purse...I'm not super protective of it. If I'm around the house I just carry it by hand. Of course, I only have one right now so it is not much of an inconvenience. But pretty soon, I will have two!
Posted 29 April 2013 - 11:24 AM ( #28 )
I keep all of my tamas in hand-crocheted pouches that I make myself.
I only have photos of two of my works on photobucket right now, and they are the two ones that I've sold so far, one to tamagotchialice, and one to Khipmunk.
They are both tamago pouches, but I crochet pouches in all kinds of sizes and styles, and I could gladly sell you some. Just tell me the coulur, size and style you wish and I'll crochet it for you.
The price would be ranging between $10 - $15 including shipping depending on complexity and style.
Fo Spirit Rabbit I could make a cheaper one though, since you are located in Sweden and that lowers the shipping price a bit!
Please excuse the size of the pictures.

Shuttle crew to take close-up look at damaged tile
Nearly five hours into the 6 1/2-hour spacewalk, mission controllers noticed that Gregory Chamitoff's carbon dioxide sensor wasn't working. NASA needs to know if levels of carbon dioxide - expelled when you breathe - get too high.
It's likely that moisture caused the infrared sensor to fail, said lead spacewalk officer Allison Bolinger.
The levels were probably not too high, but controllers told Chamitoff and spacewalking partner Drew Feustel not to finish installing an antenna on the space station because it would take too much time.
In the end, the spacewalk was 11 minutes shorter than planned. Feustel and Chamitoff installed a light fixture and swapped out some experiments parked outside the space station.
This was the first spacewalk for Chamitoff. He called it "a dream come true for me."
Endeavour's astronauts will make four spacewalks while docked at the space station.
NASA approved a first-of-its-kind maneuver on Monday for a photo op when a Russian Soyuz capsule undocks from the space station with three astronauts aboard. The capsule will back away to about 600 feet and stop. Then the station will slowly rotate so the Soyuz can get rare photos of the shuttle docked to the station from different angles and from another spaceship.
Delivered by Endeavour and added to the space station on Thursday was a $2 billion physics experiment that looks for antimatter and dark matter. Saturday, the two crews will get an unprecedented VIP call - Pope Benedict XVI will make the first papal call to space.

They recently joined a Song Writing Competition and bagged the 1st runner up prize. There were 10 finalists and they were lucky enough to have won the 1st runner up award.
Hurray to that!
The journey to this competition was a little bit tough. There was very little time to prepare for everything.
But all's well that ends well!
To all of the members of Kuerdas Band, Congratulations and a pat on the back for a job well done!

The Return of the Giant NYC Dance Club

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
Maybe feeling detached after jail and a car accident, maybe throwing something granola in the mix for these Kanye days, Cassidy's track-nine soul-stirrer "Damn I Miss the Game" is a detour into Lupe Fiasco territory, wherein Mr. "Cash Rulez" insists that he's "getting tired of the dumb rap." Not blowin'-up-your-blogspot like Nas's "Where Are They Now?", Cass still sees hip-hop as a fading timeline, complaining about hyphy, snap, and trap over the dubbed-out middle of Marvin Gaye's "I Wanna Be Where You Are" (you know, from I Want You, the album with the Ernie Barnes cover painting that Camp Lo used as inspiration for back-to-basics classic Uptown Saturday Night). A 25-year-old rapper reminiscing about Melle Mel and Kurtis Blow records that were out before he was born, Cassidy sounds like he's itching to go the Chamillionaire routewhy not, he's good at itbut is still kind of tethered by all those other songs about stacking paper and not snitching and riding in private planes and getting your drink and your two-step on.
Gucci Mane
"I Move Chickens"
From Back to the Traphouse
Not that we need another trap-rap song starring a cartoon-cute metaphor for cocaine ready for its close-up on a 10th-grader's T-shirt during a Fox News Special Report, but Alabama MC Gucci Mane isn't hustling to get baller money on track 13 of his major-label debuthe's trying to pay his rent. There's a little more desperation and darkness in Gucci (whose actual legal problems are no joke), and it's most evident in the chorus, sampled from his own "Bird Flu" but given a haunting, cosmic, no-hope phaser effect like Lil Jon's "What U Gon' Do" or Rammelzee's "Beat Bop."
Styles P ft. Jadakiss and Sheek Louch
>"Gangster, Gangster"
From Super Gangster (Extraordinary Gentleman)
Maybe this is relegated to track 18 because it's a show-stealing reminder of how incredible the chemistry still is between these three MCsonce recording hit after hit as the L.O.X. and D-Block, now currently without a deal or a MySpace page. Styles swore his third album was going to have a classic, grimy '90s feel, and a bleating and honking Pete Rock beat doesn't disappoint, especially one that takes the bleatingest and honkingest parts of Isaac Hayes's "Ike's Mood" (a song that, in its mellower moments, has driven '90s classics like Intelligent Hoodlum's "Grand Groove," LL Cool J's "Six Minutes of Pleasure," and even the Lox's "Bitches From Eastwick").
Birdman ft. Lil Wayne
"So Tired"
From Five Star Stunna
(Cash Money/Universal)
Backed by deep organs and a little soul-searching"I'm so tired of being on this grind/But they say I ain't grindin' if I ain't tired"Birdman and Lil Wayne wait until track 18 to hit their David Banner moment. Wayne donates a twisting, never-ending labyrinth of a chorus that tumbles and unfolds, starts where it shouldn't, repeats where it shouldn't, hits odd angles, accents unexpected syllables, dwells on the tense notes, and never ends where you think it ought to. Like Banner, Birdman works both sides beautifully: starting bleak and sensitive ("Dear Lord, help me get up out this water/Can't go under, got my son and my daughter"), and ending sinful and celebratory ("Empty the drum/Have their whole family crying/Bitch we're rich and we won").
Wyclef Jean ft. Norah Jones
"Any Other Day"
From Carnival Vol. II: Memoirs of an Immigrant
Originally released three years ago as a Red Cross benefit single, now it's just one more great surprise than a Roman-numeral-tagged album with a song called "Hollywood Meets Bollywood" deserves to have. Wyclef clearly wishes people understood City High in '99; Norah does what Nellie McKay and Regina Spektor think they do: steal it off the Internet now, donate money to the Red Cross after.

"Almost half of Class 5 students in rural schools can't do basic subtraction, less than half can't read Class 2 text"
Almost half of the Class 5 students in rural schools cannot solve a two-digit subtraction problem. Less than half of them can read text meant for a Class 2 child.
Rural school enrolment continues to be high and educational infrastructure may have improved in the two years since the Right to Education Act came into effect, but a major non-governmental survey warns that village children's ability to read and do basic arithmetic has been on a sharp decline since then.
The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2012, facilitated by NGO Pratham, was released by Human Resource Development Minister M.M. Pallam Raju here on Thursday.
Carried out in the final months of 2012, it reached about six lakh children and 3.3 lakh households, covering more than 16,000 villages in 567 districts.
It found a sharp fall in learning outcomes — especially in arithmetic — over the last two years. In 2010, 70.9 per cent of Class 5 children were able to solve subtraction problems. Last year, that fell to 61 per cent. This year, there has been a further drop to 53.5 per cent. In fact, almost 20 per cent cannot even recognise two-digit numbers. Apart from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala, which have held steady or improved, every major State has seen a substantial drop in basic arithmetic levels, according to the survey.
Pratham founder Madhav Chavan and economist Abhijit Banerjee seemed to link the fall in learning outcomes to the RTE's emphasis on continuous assessment as opposed to examinations, and its emphasis on "completing the syllabus."
However, the Minister rejected such an analysis. "I don't want to judge why the learning outcomes have declined…I will certainly not attribute it to the factor of CCE [continuous comprehensive evaluation]," he said. He admitted that some of the results were dismaying, but also seemed to play down ASER's findings, calling it a "dipstick survey."
With regard to enrolment, the number of children aged 6 to 14 in school remained above 96 per cent for the fourth consecutive year, despite a slight 0.2 per cent decrease since last year.
When it comes to girls in the 11 to 14 years age group, the scenario is slightly more worrying, especially in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, where the percentage of girls of that age out of school has risen to more than 11 per cent this year.
Keywords: RTE Act, ASER survey, rural schools, private schools

FLOWERY BRANCH - After suffering its first loss of the season last week, Flowery Branch is now back on track.
CLEVELAND - Ashely Lowery refused for White County High's story to end in the first round of the Class AAA state playoffs.
BUFORD - Buford High's run to a fourth straight Class AA championship got off on the right foot Friday with a convincing 52-22 victory over Hart County in the opening round of the playoffs at Tom Riden Stadium.
For the past two years, the Gainesville Red Elephants have made a habit of blowing out their first-round opponents.
The Commerce High football team fell 34-24 to Bremen in the first round of the Class A state playoffs Friday night at Bremen Athletic Field.
The loss was the last game at the helm for Tigers' coach Steve Savage, who will retire after 22 years as head coach.
Gainesville vs. Haralson County
His teammates call him rookie, but ask anyone who has seen him play and they're all likely to say the same thing: Gainesville High freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson is playing well beyond his years.
Flowery Branch's reward for starting the football season 9-0 and finishing second in Region 8-AAAA is a date with one of the most storied football programs in Georgia.
COMMERCE - For the past 33 years there have been two constants at Commerce High: a winning football program and coach Steve Savage.
BUFORD - Everything surrounding Buford High's football program this time of the year is upbeat.
The Buford High football team remains No. 2 in Class AA in the latest Georgia Prep Football Poll, which was released Tuesday by The Associated Press.
CLEVELAND - For the first time since 2007, White County's football program spent the first Monday afternoon following the end of the regular season by preparing for another football game. The stakes now are sudden death in the Class AAA tournament and the competition will also be good, but the Warriors (8-2) took to the practice field like it was just another practice, even though the excitement level has gone up a notch or two for Friday's playoff opener against LaGrange (5-5).
Going into the 2010 season, the biggest question at Gainesville High was how well freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson could direct a Red Elephant offense that made it to the state finals last season.
BOGART - A shutout loss that cost North Oconee the region title left the Titans smarting all week.
Friday night's results showed once again why "defense wins championships" is one of football's oldest clichés.
Page 68 of 82
East Hall fell to 0-2 with Friday night's 38-10 loss to Pickens in Jasper.
WINDER - With the star-studded duo of TJ Skelton and Evan Shirreffs on the field for Jefferson, a productive and powerful offense was expected. What was not expected was how the Dragons used almost everybody but Skelton on their way to a 41-7 win over the Winder-Barrow Bulldoggs at W. Clair Harris Stadium in Winder.
COMMERCE - After last Friday's loss, East Jackson Eagles' head coach Gary Hughes said his team had to limit turnovers to stay in games.
Madison County scored 20 unanswered points in the second half to overcome Jackson County 27-21 on Friday in Jefferson.
After 11 straight seasons of futility in season openers, Forsyth Central finally started the schedule off on the right foot.
In typical Buford fashion, seven different names appeared on the scoring sheet during Friday night's 56-0 win over Berkmar at Tom Riden Stadium.
Riverside Military Academy's defense stole the show on Friday night in Roswell as J.J. McCalston, Tarik Holmes and Chris Howard combined to lead the Eagles to a 20-10 victory over Fellowship Christian.
West Hall coach Tony Lotti had his team vote last week to decide who would be the team's top 10 leaders in the locker room for the upcoming season.
A stifling defense and a freshman quarterback led Flowery Branch to a decisive victory against Chestatee on Friday night in the Hall County rivals' first matchup since 2009.
LOGANVILLE – Gainesville has two weeks to find some continuity on both sides of the ball before the region schedule begins. The season opener was far less than what coach Bruce Miller hoped for.
Rabun County held off Habersham Central 23-14 in the season-opener on Friday in Tiger.
Union County stormed past Towns County 57-14 win in the season opener on Friday in Hiawassee.
Commerce defeated Banks County 28-21 on Friday in the season opener for both teams in Commerce.
Pickens outlasted White County 42-34 in a wild offensive shootout Friday in Cleveland.
East Hall battled its way to a 20-13 win over Wesleyan in the season opener on Friday in Peachtree Corners.

Nice experience to the see the fierce force in combination with the music that is played. Be there in time to get a space in first row
Unfortunately, they stopped letting water out in the winter, though I imagine it must have been beautiful. No only 25 June - 26 August as far as I'm aware. But definitely worth seeing if you are in the area
Imatra is a quaint town in Finland, and the waterfall is worth seeing. During summer months at 6 p.m. the flood gates open and the street is filled with music as the water slowly builds to its rushing power. Following the event, people stroll through town to grad dinner, a drink or an ice cream. It's worth the visit!
It is a great waterfall! Very impressive. But You can enjoy it only at 1800-1815 o'clock during summer months. The water falls very powerful. And the music is switched on - different (Sibelius, Nightwish) - depends on the week day.
Awesome power as the they open the flood gates and the water gushers through. It takes amazingly long for the river bottom to fill downstream but boy when it comes it comes with a roaring power. It is cool to see the river bed (bed rock and boulders) fully exposed and then being filled violently with water, huge rapids and...
The dam is very big and impressive, unfortunately during winter the water doesn't flow through and this is not real waterfall.
The other side of the dam is still dry.
Seems the waterfalls are open only during summer time at 6PM every day when they release the water
Just great, everybody should see this one at least once in life time. The water show is running every day during summer time around six o'clock.
This waterfall is a must see!!
Normally it provides about 4% of Finish energy, but in the summertime it opens at 6 p.m. to let out the huge amount of water to please tourists. The water runs into the Imatrankoski river - great!
It is like a miracle - you can feel the strength of nature. Although this is an artificial thing - you feel no human tracks there - only water and stone!
We've been to see the Imatra Waterfall a lot of time during this years, and it's always beautiful and a must see in Imatra, Finland. Lovely 20 minutes to pass with Family and listen to the nice music during the Waterfall.

Firing Back on Energy Costs
By AARON APPLEGATE
By Aaron Applegate
The Virginian-Pilot
Virginia Beach
A trio of Republican leaders touted Sen. John McCain's energy plan Wednesday , the latest local effort to gain political traction by talking about high energy prices.
George Allen, a former governor and U.S. senator, U.S. Rep. Thelma Drake and state Sen. Frank Wagner praised the likely Republican presidential nominee's support for offshore drilling, increased nuclear and coal power, and incentives to develop alternative energy sources.
The politicians were joined in a panel discussion by five business owners, all McCain supporters, who described, in bleak terms, the impact of high energy prices on their industries.
Waving an invoice with an extra fuel surcharge fee, Chris Savvides, owner of Black Angus Restaurant in Virginia Beach, said cheese, milk and beef prices have skyrocketed, mainly because of rising gas prices.
"We pay a premium every day to have these things delivered," said Savvides, who hosted the discussion at his restaurant.
Carol Curtis, owner of Noah Enterprises Inc., a Virginia Beach construction company, said energy prices have forced her to consider slicing employee benefits, such as contributions to health-care plans.
The event came two days after a panel discussion in Norfolk led by U.S. Rep. Bobby Scott, a Democrat, in which most participants voiced opposition to offshore drilling.
Earlier this month, Glenn Nye, a Democrat challenging Drake in Virginia's 2nd Congressional District, announced his energy proposal, focusing largely on alternative energy but not ruling out increased drilling.
In late July, Drake announced her support for a bipartisan plan to open offshore areas for oil and gas drilling in Virginia.
Wagner said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was inflicting "San Francisco values on the entire nation."
Panel members criticized likely Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama's focus on alternative energy as "pie-in-the-sky" and said they feared "over-regulation" were he elected president.
The Obama campaign, in a conference call an hour before the Virginia Beach event, said McCain's plan would favor oil companies over families, according to a transcript of the call.

SAN DIEGO - A man who has been hospitalized since Valentine's Day with respiratory ailments and failing kidneys told his brother he believes he was contaminated by the deadly ricin poison found in his Las Vegas motel room.Roger Bergendorff regained consciousness on Wednesday and was upgraded to fair condition Monday at a Las Vegas medical center. His younger brother, Erich Bergendorff, told The Associated Press that they spoke briefly on the telephone Sunday for the first time since the ricin was found, and said Roger claimed he had never had any intention of endangering anyone with the toxin. 'He did mention that he would have never done anything to anybody,' said Erich Bergendorff. 'He himself is under the impression he was contaminated by it - he did mention the ricin and seemed to say something like, 'Gee, it sure worked on me.' Erich Bergendorff said his brother told him the ricin was easy to make. But he added that his brother, who was on a ventilator until last week, still had a hard time speaking clearly, so it was not clear whether Roger Bergendorff made it himself or watched someone else manufacture the powder. 'He did talk as though he just had it there, he was almost kind of casual about it,' said Erich Bergendorff, who talked to his brother on the phone from his home in Escondido, Calif., north of San Diego. 'It's almost as though in his own mind it wasn't that big of a deal.' Roger Bergendorff, 57, was questioned by investigators from the FBI and the Las Vegas police on Friday in hopes that he could provide information about the Feb. 28 discovery of the ricin powder and castor beans, from which it is derived. Officials from both agencies declined to comment about what they learned. Doctors have not formally diagnosed Roger Bergendorff. Experts said his symptoms appeared consistent with ricin exposure, but the poison breaks down in the body within days, making it hard to trace. Ricin can be lethal in amounts the size of the head of a pin. It has no antidote and is only legal for cancer research. In court documents, police described the amount of ricin found in the vials as 'a large quantity' and characterized the poison as a 'biological weapon.' But officials have said they have not found evidence in the motel room or elsewhere of contamination and have downplayed the possibility that Bergendorff posed a threat.

Memphis Marine's baby a handful for president
Kid goes straight to source's mouth
Eight-month-old Cooper Wagner may be the only person who can say, or babble rather, that he can get past President Barack Obama's security.
The youngster was seen with his hand in Obama's mouth Sunday when Obama was visiting Marines and their families at Marine Corps Base Hawaii on Oahu.
"(Obama) came up to our table and reached down and picked Cooper up and talked to me and my wife for a minute, and as we were posing for a picture, Cooper reached up and put his hand in the president's mouth," said the boy's father, 27-year-old Capt. Greg Wagner.
Cooper's parents are from Memphis. His father graduated from the University of Memphis with a degree in criminal justice and is stationed in Hawaii, where his wife, Meredith, 25, attends medical school.
Obama laughed, tilted his head back and played along before Cooper's mother removed his hand from Obama's mouth.
"We posed for another picture and (Obama) handed Cooper back and he made a joke about Cooper looking up and seeing the president's big nose and having to grab it," Greg Wagner said in a phone interview Tuesday. "It was pretty funny. Everyone got a lot of chuckles out of it."
A video of the encounter hit YouTube, and several national media outlets picked up the story, including The Washington Post and The Huffington Post.
Wagner said he and his wife were shocked that the event drew so much attention. They were featured on "Good Morning America" on Tuesday. He said it will be neat to show their son the photos when he is old enough to understand.
Wagner also said it was a memorable Christmas experience, since this is Cooper's first and Wagner was unable to be with his wife last year because he was in Afghanistan.

The unrest currently taking place in the Middle East, along with the resulting sharp increase in world oil prices, illustrates just how dependent the U.S. has become on foreign oil imports. A generation ago, the U.S. imported approximately 30 percent of its oil, today we import in excess of 60 percent. With a sluggish economic recovery and oil prices hovering near $100 per barrel, many average Americans are having a difficult time making ends meet, and it may be time to revisit the issue of oil drilling in the U.S.

"Ellora Caves" Ellora by MM212
Ellora Travel Guide: 97 reviews and 585 photos
One of numerous sites in India with rock-cut cave-temples and monasteries, Ellora easily ranks top. This UNESCO World Heritage Site contains 34 such caves, carved into an escarpment between the 6th and 11th centuries AD. Ellora's prized jewel is undoubtedly the astonishing Kailasa Temple, the world's largest monolithic structure. Even though it outshines everything else, other caves in Ellora are nevertheless fascinating. What makes Ellora so unique, other than the Kailasa Temple, is the existence of caves belonging to three faiths, Buddhist, Hindu and Jain.
Ellora is located on an important ancient trade route. Revenues from the lucrative trade allowed the construction of extravagant temples at Ellora, which saw its golden age under the Chalukya and Rashtrakuta dynasties between the 7th-9th centuries AD. Although the monasteries and temples of Ellora have long been abandoned, religious locals often make a pilgrimage to Ellora to worship. A visit to Ellora provides an invaluable insight into the history of early Indian architecture and religion.

Pune: To deal with water shortage in the city, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has announced water cuts for Pune. Starting Saturday, Pune will be getting water supply only once a day.
The city will face 12 per cent water cut from Saturday as the level of water in the four dams which provides water to the city is pretty low. Moreover, there has been no rainfall in the catchment near the dams.
The announcement was made by Pune mayor Chanchala Kodre on Thursday. She said, "The city gets 1,250 MLD water, but since there is a water shortage, we will be getting only 1,100 MLD water from the irrigation department from Saturday. Considering the acute shortage of water and with no rain, we have decided to supply water only once a day instead of twice a day for the city."
On Wednesday, the civic administration had held a meeting with irrigation department officials to take a review of the water situation in Khadakwasala, Temghar, Warasgaon and Panshet dams. The announcement of water cut was
made after party leaders in PMC held a meeting on Thursday.
Kodre said, "At present, 1.93 TMC water is available for the city compared to 5 TMC water that was there around this time last year. Since there is no rain, there will be 12 per cent water cut in the city. Considering the present water level and the imposed cut, the available water will fulfill the need of the city till August 15."
Pune city is divided in 76 wards. Out of these, 34 wards get water twice a day.
But now, all these wards will also be getting water only once a day from Saturday. The areas which get water from Parvati, Warje, Wadgaon pumping stations will face 20 per cent water cut.
The PMC administration is keeping a close eye on the India Meteorological Department (IMD) for their forecast regarding rain. "IMD experts have predicted that there is a possibility of good rains from second week of July and till that time we will be taking a review of the water situation," Kodre said.
The administration has claimed that it will be taking help of women self-help groups and school students to create awareness about water conservation. The civic administration has also made it clear that they will be keeping an eye on the private contractors who supply water to various areas by tankers.

The biography of Caedmon. This page has biographical information on Caedmon, one of the best poets of all time. This PoetrySoup page also provides access to the poet's poems, best poetry, quotes, and video biographies...if available.
Cædmon (/ ' k æ d m n / or / ' k æ d m n / ) is the earliest English (Northumbrian ) poet whose name is known. An Anglo-Saxon who cared for the animals at the double monastery of Streonæshalch (Whitby Abbey ) during the abbacy (657–680) of St. Hilda (614–680), he was originally ignorant of "the art of song" but learned to compose one night in the course of a dream, according to the 8th-century monk Bede. He later became a zealous monk and an accomplished and inspirational Christian poet .

Local business owner is lauded as Western Penna. SBA Young Entrepreneur of the Year
LORETTO, PA – Cambria County Commissioners will declare April 25 as Jonathan Miller Day honoring the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Western Pennsylvania Young Entrepreneur of the Year.
Miller, a small business owner who needed to pinch pennies for both his enterprise and education expenses, fine-tuned some computer typefaces that enabled him to not only save on internal printing costs but also to create a new business that he dubbed Dimples.
With minimal finances for education, Miller and his mother worked for years as home inspectors often logging 15-hour days snapping photos of homes for insurance agencies and financial institutions. "We did that through my college years and about two years ago realized that finances were tight and every penny counted, Miller recalled. "We couldn't reduce paper costs, but we could stretch our ink."
Miller, now a Saint Francis University adjunct professor in the math and business departments, explained that creative savings became the catalyst for his company.
"I fiddled with computer fonts and how printers produce text on paper," he said. "When certain light and dark spaces are placed within a font, the printed text retains legibility while consuming less toner."
The end result is a perforation – or dimple – in the text that preserves the outline of each letter which appears whole to the human eye. According to Miller's research, when text is read the eye sees mostly each letter's outline. His Dimples process squeezes out a third or more toner savings per letter.
But for Miller, who holds dual undergraduate degrees in both chemistry and mathematics and a master's degree in business administration, the process wasn't as simple as it sounded.
"In the beginning, my mom and I spent hours each day building fonts," he said "Since I didn't know computer programming, we did everything by hand until I could teach myself."
His programming worked and, today, Dimples' automated process creates a strong black outline with a fainter interior. To date, Dimples has 3,000 individual users who have access to 11 fonts.
"For a small fee users purchase our software and download the Dimples program. To print, you just use the Dimples print command, he explained. "We can even Dimple proprietary corporate fonts. There is much more we are developing for the future of Dimples."
Dimples has received grant funding from Johnson and Johnson, Walmart and Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) to market the unique cost-saving program to the region.
For Miller, working on computers enabled him to harness his imagination and creativity while collecting accolades along the way – even from the software giant Google.
"As a teen I used the internet to look at visual items, such as animation and two-and-three- dimensional drawings," he stated. Years later, Miller utilized that information to create three-dimensional models of buildings at Saint Francis University. He then competed against many universities, faring better than a team from Harvard University. This motivated him to co-found the architectural modeling service PopArchitexture.com and to become a certified Google 3D Developer.
While attending Saint Francis University, he lent his talents to the Center of Excellence for Remote and Medically Under-Served Areas. "The projects were engaging and covered fields from telehealth and distance learning to emergency first response and defense," he explained. "We used off-the-shelf technology in creative ways to help people."
According to Western Pennsylvania SBA District Director Carl Knoblock, Miller was able to visualize a solution to a business printing problem and spin off a completely different company that compliments his background. "His unique software not only will enable consumers to save money, but, also will make for a greener environment, Knoblock said. "He truly exemplifies the cutting edge of entrepreneurial talent abound in Western Pennsylvania."
Miller added that being named as the region's Young Entrepreneur finally is sinking in. "It's a humbling, and hopefully inspirational, honor."

Booker defeats Lonegan in New Jersey special election for Senate
October 17, 2013
Trenton, New Jersey: Newark Mayor Cory Booker (D) beat out former Mayor of Bogota Steve Lonegan (R) and a handful of Independent candidates in the special election to succeed the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D) yesterday.[1][2]
In June 2013, Gov. Chris Christie chose to appoint Attorney General Jeff Chiesa to fill the vacant seat. Chiesa, who has not expressed interest in becoming a career senator, will serve in the Senate until after the special election.[3]
Cory Booker also defeated several Independent candidates, including Robert Depasquale, Eugene Martin Lavergne, Stuart David Meissner, Pablo Olivera, Antonio Sabas and Edward Stackhouse, Jr..[4]Cite error: Closing

<ref> tag
Booker will serve the remainder of Lautenberg's term that expires in January 2015.[3]. He will face voters again in 2014 for a full six-year term.[2][3]
Democrats were heavily favored to retain the seat, as New Jersey has not elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate in 40 years.[5][6] Booker will become the only elected African American senator currently serving.[1] He will also become the Senate's seventh youngest member, the ninth African American member of Congress and the fourth African American member of the Senate ever popularly elected.[7]
Gov. Christie has until November 13, 2013, to certify the results of the special election, though it is expected that he will not take that long.[8]
"The winner of (Wednesday's) election will be sworn in as quickly as possible after the results have been verified and certified. We fully anticipate this to happen before the Nov. 5th election day," said a statement from Gov. Christie's office.[8]
Once results are certified, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will schedule a swearing in.[8]

I want to first honestly say that I have made mistakes at Daily Kos. If people looked hard enough, they could find where I have personally attacked someone. I've uprated comments I should not have. I've gotten angry, disillusioned. There are nights I have hoped a kossack personally attacking me or a friend would get banned. There have been kossacks I didn't like. There are kossacks I should have apologized to, but I did not. I'm human, like everyone else here.
Over the years, Daily Kos has often reminded me of a department I used to work in. Believe it or not, there seemed to be "factions." There were people who spent a lot of time and energy engaged in negative talk about someone else. Yes, it accomplished nothing but lower morale and productivity. The only winners were those who didn't participate.
To make a long story short, I felt this negativity. I could tell some people didn't seem to like me. I'd wonder why were people attacking me? Was it my social skills again? That I kept to myself? I discovered there were people who would look up tickets I had worked for things they could construe as a mistake, and print them out for negative gossip or to put on the boss's desk. In a way it was like Daily Kos. At Daily Kos, people can look up every comment and every uprate I have made since I started. In the workplace, people could look up every ticket I had ever worked on. At both places, you could build a case against many people if you spent enough time.
In time, I discovered I wasn't the only person this happened to. There were people who would look up other people's tickets to find things they could construe as a mistake to use for negative talk or to print out and put on the boss's desk.
The conversation in the department was filled with "Look what this person does. Why doesn't he (the boss) do anything about them?"
How did the boss react? He hated this. He found the vast majority of the printouts petty. He felt it was all time and energy down the drain. He felt the people who spent lots of time focusing on other people "extremely high maintenance." He would talk to people in a nice way, but explain it is easier to focus on someone else than to improve yourself. That didn't go over well - it seemed to just exacerbate people feeling he wasn't doing anything about this or that person. This response also caused people to give him fewer printouts as they thought he "wasn't doing anything about it anyway."
The boss tried the best he could to improve morale and change attitudes. I remember he tried having social outings hoping people would get to know each other better. He tried talking to people nicely. But nothing worked. This just went on and on dragging down morale and sucking up time and energy. In time, the department split up. I got moved. The people I work with now are a lot more mature. They accept me for who I am. We all get along.
I remember when Meteor Blades was moderator. I often wondered if he felt like my boss did? MB tried everything he knew how. Nothing worked. I felt he had an almost impossible job. I assumed that's why the late 2011 purge happened. I didn't like the purge especially at first, because I don't like that approach. I have always believed in positive interventions. I also felt it went too far. But I couldn't argue Daily Kos didn't seem out of control. Something had to be done. The other approach didn't work. I was not totally innocent either. I had been in pie fights. But I decided it was time to focus on myself and do what I could to make Daily Kos a better place.
I thought about people I may have hurt through a comment or uprate. I kos mailed two kossacks and apologized for specific incidents. I got back the nicest replies. I had decided to focus on myself and what I could do to make Daily Kos better. It is a lot better to have friends you sometimes don't agree with than people you don't like. There's a real person with real feelings behind every keyboard.
The purge gave me the impression Markos wanted a "big tent Democratic" blog. That means its a given not everyone will agree with me. I have to expect that. I didn't want to be part of a blog where everyone agreed with me. What would I learn??
When I came to Daily Kos, I was an economic populist passionate about health care, unemployment, and poverty but I didn't know anything about the enviornment, racism, or other issues. I practice greener habits today than I did several years ago due to Daily Kos. I also had no opinion about abortion. If someone had asked me if I was pro-choice or not, I would have replied I didn't know. But I was even invited to help with SheKos, and only two weeks earlier I had no opinion on abortion.
So step back. What would Daily Kos be like if everyone agreed with you? Would you like it more or less?
So if I write a diary, there will be people who don't agree. Most will be respectful about it. A few will be jerks. Why let those few ruin my diary? I don't have to reply to every comment.
Also, it is important to try and put yourself in the other persons shoes. Yes, we all make mistakes. I've uprated comments I shouldn't have due to reading too quickly, just not thinking or grasping how it would make someone else feel, it was a friend's comment, being angry, etc. Always ask yourself "How would I feel if this comment was made about me, and people uprated it?" If someone has uprated what you feel is an insult about you, try to remember they may have been reading quickly, reading without fully grasping the comment, interpreted it differently, or been upset. When pie fights drag on, emotions build up and people are less careful.
I've been a kossack for several years. We've had pie fights and factions for a long time. Looking back, none of it did anybody any good. It just goes on and on with no end and sucks up a lot of energy.
There are some very good kossacks who have recently talked about leaving or at least taking a break. That's serious. We need to listen and not dismiss people's feelings!
I wish some banned kossacks could be reinstated. There are good people who had a lot of passion who got banned. Yes, that passion can lead to conflict. But their passion also contributed a lot to the site. Isn't is possible some of them have learned something & reinstating them could be a win-win proposition? Can't we go back to the days most anyone can be reinstated who respectfully asks?
Over the years, I've come across numerous comments regarding how we can best moderate Daily Kos. Should we have paid moderator(s)? Should we develop a system where the community self-moderates? Should the community vote on the banning & reinstatement of non-trolls? Yes, there are some good ideas out there. But history has shown none of them will work if we as a community don't do our part. Civility starts with each and everyone of us. We have to work for the kind of community we want.
Let's work together to make Daily Kos a better place! How about each of us focus on what we can do to make Daily Kos better?
