Hall: Battling pecan nut casebearer; having field day with wheat
Each year about this time, I get questions on the pecan nut casebearer (PNC). The pecan nut casebearer is one of the most important nut-infesting insect pests of pecans. Casebearer larvae tunnel into nutlets shortly after pollination, often destroying all of the nutlets in a cluster. The most effective and reliable method of control is a well-timed insecticide application(s) made in the spring to kill hatching larvae before they tunnel into the nutlets. However, insecticides should only be applied if infestations and nut load justify treatment. Typically, we will start looking for PNC in Wichita County about May 10 and spraying will progress late in the month, but it is all based on scouting for the first egg hatch.
The PNC Forecast System at http://pncforecast.tamu.edu provides information about pecan nut casebearer activity to assist pecan tree owners with management decisions. The system allows the user to predict activity of first generation pecan nut casebearer in his/her orchard, using data from pheromone traps operated in that orchard and local temperatures. The system generates predicted dates when first generation eggs are expected to be found in the orchard and the date when PNC larvae first begin to feed on pecan nutlets.
The PNC Forecast System also provides information on pecan nut casebearer egg-laying activity and nut entry from selected sites across Texas and Oklahoma. These forecasts are based upon data collected by county extension agents and entomologists with Texas AgriLife Extension and the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service, Master Gardeners and by volunteer pecan growers working with the extension service.
First generation larvae usually have the potential to cause the greatest economic loss. For this reason, control is directed primarily at this spring generation. Often a single carefully timed insecticide application provides adequate control for first-generation casebearers. Once inside nuts, larvae are protected from insecticides.
To determine whether treatment is needed and when to apply insecticide, examine nuts carefully in spring for casebearer eggs. Most casebearer eggs are found at the tip of the nutlet, either on the top (stigma) or hidden just under the tiny leaves (sepals) at the tip of the nutlet. A good hand lens is necessary to identify casebearer eggs and determine their development (hatched, white or pink). Also, look for bud feeding just below the nut cluster to detect the presence of newly hatched larvae.
Apply insecticides within two to three days after the first eggs hatch. At this time, the first larvae begin entering nuts. Infested clusters can be flagged to monitor egg hatch.
Delaying treatment until the first nut entry occurs maximizes the insecticide's residual activity. However, consider the time required to treat the orchard and possible weather delays so that insecticide is applied before significant nut entry occurs. A second insecticide application may be required if unhatched eggs are found after the residual period of the insecticide has passed.
The pecan nut casebearer completes two to four generations each year. Adults of the overwintering generation emerge in May and lay eggs on pecan nutlets soon after pollination. These eggs result in first generation larvae which feed on nutlets and generally cause the most damage.
Second generation larvae attack the nuts in midsummer about six weeks after nut entry by first generation larvae. Third generation eggs are deposited on nuts from late July to early September. These larvae feed only in the shucks if the pecan shells have hardened.
Insecticide sprays should be applied with caution in backyard and urban areas because of the great potential for spray drift onto nearby gardens, pets and living areas. Only products containing carbaryl, malathion, or chlorpyrifos which are labeled and packaged for homeowner use should be used for control in urban areas.
In other extension news, the multicounty annual Wheat Field Day will be held May 17 at the Syngenta Cereals Breeding facility in Lockett, Texas. Registration will begin at 9 a.m.
Field tours will include discussions of new wheat varieties lead by Dr. Allen Fritz, professor and wheat research leader at Kansas State University. Haydee Laza, associate plant scientist with Syngenta Seeds, will discuss Integrated Forage/Grain Production Systems with Wheat and Triticale. Rob Borchardt, Robbie Long and Brent Besler will visit with attendees about Optimized Wheat Management Systems. Keynote speaker, Dr. Allen Fritz, will present "Holistic Wheat Decision Systems" during his noon presentation.

Students Use GPUs to Sweep Asian Supercomputing Competition, Top Green500
http://blogs.nvidia.com/wp-content/u...rkeystone2.jpgAfter a grueling five-day battle, three teams emerged as winners in the first annual Asia Student Cluster Challenge (ACS13). One even beat the power-efficiency record set by the current Green500 leader. Their secret sauce: NVIDIA Tesla K20 accelerators.
ACS13 brought the brightest young minds from ten universities, from Saudi Arabia to South Korea, to out-smart and out-design each other to construct the fastest, most energy efficient supercomputer, in less than a week. And they had to build a supercomputer that used no more than 3000 watts' about the power of 3 microwave ovens.
Teams were ranked on how their cluster performed on five benchmark applications, such as the GROMACS molecular simulation software and the OpenCFD aerodynamics simulation software, as well as Linpack, which is an industry standard benchmark to measure the performance of supercomputers.
Since it was an Intel-sponsored event, all the teams were also required to use Xeon Phi accelerators to run an application based on the BSDEoptions pricing algorithm used in the financial services industry.
The three winning teams stood above the rest in the end because they all used NVIDIA GPU accelerators. Tsinghua University in Beijing took first place, Taiwan's National Tsing Hua University was second and Huazhong University of Science and Technology took the third spot.
http://blogs.nvidia.com/wp-content/u...pa-300x199.jpgThe final results.
The winning team from China's Tsinghua University built a 4 server node cluster, each server node with 2 Intel Xeon CPUs and 2 NVIDIA Tesla K20 accelerators, to deliver the highest Linpack score of 7.6 teraflops' or trillion floating point operations per second. They also maximized their GPU usage for other applications, like OpenCFD and GROMACS, to rise to the top.
If that's not impressive enough, their cluster edged out the most energy efficient system on the current Green500 list, delivering 2526 megaflopsper watt compared to the reigning Green500 champ, Beacon from the University of Tennessee's National Institute for Computational Sciences, at 2499 megaflops per watt (a megaflop is equal to one million floating-point operations per second).
http://blogs.nvidia.com/wp-content/u...pb-300x198.jpgThe winning team.
Not too shabby for a few university students in a few days of work.
Taiwan's National Tsing Hua University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology also used Tesla K20 accelerators to achieve impressive benchmarks on their way to the podium for silver and bronze medals.
Thanks to the sponsors of the ACS13 for a wonderful event and congratulations to the three winning teams.

Tectonics Drive Diversity
By Anonymous
Tectonic collisions are responsible for the emergence, and decline, of marine biodiversity hotpots, a study has concluded. "By examining fossil and molecular evidence we could clearly see that the global centre of marine megadiversity was over western Europe and Africa in the Eocene, around 50 million years ago," says Prof John Pandolfi of the University of Queensland. "By the start of the Miocene, around 25 million years ago, the hotspot of sea life had moved to the region of the Arabian Peninsula, Pakistan and west India – an area that is still quite rich today."
The global hotspot now stretches from India to Australia. In each case the region was the site of collision between two major tectonic plates. The collisions produced shallow seas filled with bays and islands, creating a network of partially separated ecosystems ideal for species diversity. The hotspot locations and the global climate at the time ensured that all were at temperatures that further encouraged life to flourish.
As the European and African plates came closer, the Mediterranean became constricted and lost the currents that had once promoted species diversification. When Arabia became part of the Asian landmass it eliminated many of the seas in which life had flourished.
"As continents merge tectonically, seas close up, nutrients increase, currents subside and the range of habitats and species also declines," says Dr Willem Renema of the Centre for Excellence for Coral Reef Research. "This period of senescence is of particular interest as it is important to understand whether species richness in a particular area is declining naturally due to tectonic changes or due to man-made changes."
The team measured the rates of appearance of new species of corals, mangroves, shellfish, reef fish and plankton. Contrary to expectations they found that few coral reef species appeared in the last few million years, with most dating to around 20 million years ago.
"Because they occur over such huge time-scales there has been a tendency to discount the role of tectonic changes in the development of life," Pandolfi says, "but we are suggesting here that it is in fact one of the major driving forces".
Marine biodiversity is highest where tectonic plates collide.

necessity for physical presence at a center. Implementing such a system could help researchers in the geographical sciences gain access to, and use, the social data they need to address key questions about the changing human geography of the planet.
An NSF report (2003) argued that in the future, science will require a new kind of infrastructure—a cyberinfrastructure—to respond effectively to emerging challenges. Cyberinfrastructure encompasses the computers, networks, and storage devices of scientific computing; the sensors, software, tools, and communications of a networked scientific world; and the virtual communities that have to collaborate to make substantial progress. All of the foregoing require massive investment. Substantial investments have already been made by the NSF in building cyberinfrastructure through awards for the acquisition of high-performance computing systems and for the building of virtual communities of networked scholars. The 2003 NSF report has also been followed by others offering more specialized perspectives on the role of cyberinfrastructure in the social sciences (Berman and Brady, 2005), the humanities (American Council of Learned Societies, 2006), and several individual disciplines.1 Yet to date little of the cyberinfrastructure discussion or investment has focused on the geographical sciences.
Because the geographical world is infinitely complex, any attempt to represent it, whether in the form of a paper map or a digital database, requires making difficult decisions about what to include and what to leave out. One strategy is to ignore spatial detail, rejecting information about variation that occurs over distances smaller than some declared spatial resolution. A related approach is to lump together approximately homogeneous areas or regions and ignore all variation within them. Other types of variation can be adequately captured by taking samples at appropriately spaced measurement points. Numerous commercial firms have adopted their own proprietary formats in the past (e.g., ESRI), and several national and international organizations have promulgated standards (e.g., Open Geospatial Consortium and the Federal Geographic Data Committee). As a result, many hundreds of geographical data formats now exist, creating headaches for anyone wanting to share data or integrate data from multiple sources (Goodchild et al., 1999).
Nonetheless much progress has been made in achieving a greater degree of interoperability. The Open Geospatial Consortium was formed in the 1990s to address interoperability issues, and most high-income countries are now actively engaged in developing their spatial data infrastructures, following the guidance provided by a report under the aegis of the NRC's Mapping Science Committee (NRC, 1993). In this regard, the geographical sciences are at a distinct advantage relative to many sciences, because not only researchers but also government agencies, corporations, and nongovernmental organizations are willing to support and invest in steps to improve the sharing of geographical data. The creation of mashups by combining geographically referenced information from different Web sites is one demonstration of the power of this new level of interoperability (Chapter 10).
In other respects, however, the research community is unable to benefit by hitching its wagon to broader efforts. Although great progress has been made in the sharing of data, there has been little comparable progress in the infrastructure needed to share the tools of analysis or the software of simulation modeling. The computer codes being created to model complex geographical systems are largely developed in low-level languages and are unlikely to be reusable by others. There are no digital libraries of tools and software, and no standards for their documentation and description. There are no GIS software environments designed specifically for the needs of K-12 education (NRC, 2006), and the products on which most of our students are trained were too often developed to support inventory and management rather than scientific research. By and large, these tools have not received the kinds of funding needed to ensure that they are rigorously engineered, robust, well documented, and widely disseminated.
By its very nature, geographical information is distinct from the kinds of information acquired and analyzed in those disciplines that proceed by controlled experiment. The foundations of statistical analysis were developed in disciplines such as psychology, where it was reasonable to believe that the members of a sample of subjects had been randomly and independently

If you have not heard yet, there is a new film coming out in May called What to Expect When You're Expecting, in the spirit of (but not based on) the ever so popular pregnancy resource. In honor of this Playtex is hosting a contest that will have daily winners and a grand prize trip to see the movie premiere. The theme of their contest is based around the things, events or feelings that threw you a curve ball when you were pregnant whether it was your first time or your fifth time.
I know that the most surprising thing during my first pregnancy was how natural all of these incomprehensible, surreal things felt that were happening to my body and the life it was nurturing. So it was weird how normal all of the novel experiences seemed as I went through them. With my second pregnancy I was surprised at how much I had forgotten from my first pregnancy and how each of the pregnancies had their similarities and distict differences. Hopefully you have more exciting surprises to share when the contest launches in the morning, but hop of over to Playtex on Facebook for the full details and your chance to win lots of baby swag!
What did you least expect when you were pregnant or a new Mom? We all have great stories to share, and Playtex Baby wants to hear them! Starting April 16th Playtex Baby is holding a contest on their Facebook page, asking Moms to share candid, unexpected moments of pregnancy and motherhood. They will be selecting daily winners, as well as a grand prize winner who will be flown to LA for the premiere of What To Expect When You're Expecting. The film will feature Playtex Baby products including the Playtex® Nurser with Drop-Ins® Liners and the Playtex® Diaper Genie® Disposal System! So what are you waiting for – log on and share your story today! https://www.facebook.com/
PlaytexBaby/app_ 321062914616209
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Playtex Baby. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating".

Probe on Balili property backfilling almost done
More News from Ador Vincent Mayol, Dale G. Israel, Joy Cherry Quito
Deputy Ombudsman for the Visayas Pelagio Apostol said they are almost done with their investigation of the backfilling of the Balili beach property in Naga City in southern Cebu.
Pelagio, in an interview, said they may issue a cease and desist order to stop the land reclamation.
"The Ombudsman investigates any irregularities and questionable spending of money in government," Apostol said.
Suspended Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia is facing two new graft complaints for backfilling the Balili property. One case was filed by Liberal Party gubernatorial candidate Hilario "Junjun" Davide III. Another was filed by acting Gov. Agnes Magpale and Provincial Board Majority Floor Leader Arleigh Jay Sitoy.
The complainants said they discovered that the foreshore land and a fishpond had been reclaimed and covered with limestone and filling materials.
In his complaint, Davide said backfilling the submerged portions of the Balili property was done in bad faith as it suppressed the evidence on the the criminal charges against Garcia before the Sandiganbayan.
'Tremendous damage'
Davide, who will go up against Garcia's brother in a race for the gubernatorial seat, said the release of P27 million for the "restoration" work at the Balili property would cause "tremendous damage and prejudice" to the province since the Provincial Board has not approved any budget for the land conversion and no bidding was made.
Acting Gov. Magpale assured that no work would continue at the Balili property while the case is in the graft court.
"Since the property is under litigation, there will be no development there for the meantime," Magpale said in a text message.
Sitoy said that if it involved dumping of coal ash waste, he would definitely oppose it.
"The Balili project springs from a polluted source," he said, adding that he intends to prevent damage to the environment and the legal system.
No dumping
Provincial Planning and Development Officer Adolfo Quiroga said that there will be no dumping of coal ash in the Balili property since the provincial government has already used limestone to fill the ponds.
He said there will be no environmental hazards anymore if the Capitol continues with the economic zone project there. "We only need to make a few changes in our ECC (environmental compliance certificate) kay dili naman coal ash ato gigamit," Quiroga explained. (we are not using coal ash).
"This place is ready for an economic zone if the sitting governor wants to continue it. We will depend on the decision of Magpale," Quiroga said.
An environment lawyer challenged the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to conduct an inspection of the Balili property.
Benjamin Cabrido of the Philippine Earth Justice Center, Inc. (PEJC) said that the two agencies should find out if the area can still be reverted to its original state.
"We want this land really to be reverted to its original state, into a mangrove area," Cabrido said.
He also said that they want to remove the P1 million plastic liner made of f high density polyethylene liner (HDPE) surrounding the 6,000 square meter fish pond.
A pre-trial conference will be held today at the Mandaue Regional Trial Court after a mediation proceedings to resolve the case filed in February 2012. /with reports from Renan Alangilan and intern Michelle Joy L. Padayhag

A 12-hour "Backyard Bash" will replace the annual "Blues and Barbecue" summer fundraising event sponsored by the Sedalia Lions Club this Saturday at the Swine Pavilion on the Missouri State Fairgrounds.
The event will feature several local bands — Ruckus, Full Moon, Renegade Rail, and Sweet Shoot — but it will also spotlight McKenzies Mill, from North Carolina.
"This is what used to be the Blues and Barbecue," said Lions Club Secretary Megan Evans. "We're going a little more country and local. Except for our headliner all the other people are local. So we're hoping to draw a little bit more of a local crowd here. The biggest thing is, it's going to be so different from last year."
The event will start at noon and last until midnight and there will be a beer garden, barbecue, a bean-bag toss competition and a dunking booth.
"The exciting thing is our headliner, coming from North Carolina," she added. "They are awesome. They call themselves a red-dirt country, rock (band). They are on the CMA who's new to watch — the up and coming 2014 groups. And they have just been awesome to work with."
Evans said Rob Lamm, president of the club, was able to procure the group.
"He'd suggested them because he's seen them play before," Evans said. "He really liked them, he said. So it was just a matter of getting in touch with them."
"This is a new event for us," Lamm said. "For the last 15 years or so we've featured blues or blues and barbecue. We thought we'd change it up. We're trying to attract a broader audience"
Lamm said the group has a southern rock style and he hopes it will appeal to the 20 to 40 age group and those that love older rock style such as Zack Brown.
"I heard them when they were just playing in hotels when I was at a business meeting," he said. " Now they are playing at the National Rodeo Association, and they have won a lot of awards and have played in Las Vegas."
He said what he liked about the group is that they come from a small North Carolina town and they have a feel for what small towns are about.
Evans said club member and event committee member Ben Jackson was instrumental in getting the local bands to come to the event.
The Sedalia Lions Club helps mostly children who need glasses, have eye problems and need shoes, plus sometimes unspoken needs, Evans said.
"What we're tagged for is helping the seeing impaired with eyeglasses," she said. "You know, one of the coolest things we've done recently, was there was a little girl who had issues. So we're getting her fitted with the proper doctors and glasses. But another one of our really helpful programs is the shoe program. At Christmastime we go around to the local elementary schools and work with their social worker. We all take turns taking kids to Penney's to get new shoes. That's my favorite."
She said the group has just recently decided to help with getting new occupational therapy equipment for the Pettis County Early Childhood Co-op.
"We have a soft spot for kids," she added. "We do a lot for kids."
She said they help seeing impaired adults and elderly as well.
The Lions Club "Backyard Bash" fundraising event will be hosted rain or shine from noon until midnight Saturday under the roof at the Swine Pavilion on the Missouri State Fairgrounds. Tickets cost $10 and can be purchased at the event or in advance at Preuitt Insurance, 622 S. Ohio Ave., Sears in the Thompson Hills Shopping Center and at Re/Max of Sedalia, 1435 Thompson Blvd.

Tigi Catwalk Curls Rock Curly Hair Shampoo
I have very fine curly hair that is very frizz prone. I cant use a very conditioner heavy shampoo because my hair will flatten out. Shampoos without conditioners dry out my hair. I have been at a loss for some time. I tried TIGI Catwalk Curls Rock Curly Hair Shampoo and it has been the answer for me. Not too heavy and not drying. It rinses out well, and leaves my hair in great shape. It has done a great job of controlling the frizz.

Several Maoist camps destroyed and areas under their influence secured
KOLKATA: The anti-Maoist joint operations by West Bengal and Jharkhand have begun on a positive note, with security personnel destroying several militant camps and securing areas hitherto known as liberated zones, West Bengal Director-General of Police Bhupinder Singh said on Thursday.
The strategy was to reclaim the "difficult hilly terrain" straggling the border of the two States (Purulia in West Bengal and East Singbhum in Jharkhand), and to set up security camps along the border, Mr. Singh told The Hindu. The operations were on mainly in the bordering districts of Jharkhand. The West Bengal police were mounting vigil along the border to check Maoist infiltration.
Police sources said that while the security forces set up camps at strategic points in Purulia district and carried out occasional combing operations, the border areas of East Singbhum district barely had any personnel, with police pickets located 40-50 km from the border. It helped Maoists use the zone as a safe passage to escape to Jharkhand whenever the operations were intensified in West Bengal.
"Currently the operations are taking place at the Kannaisara and Teenpahari hills in the Dalma range, which runs between the two States. The forces have come across two fortified Maoist training camps on the Bengal side, though no militant was found there," Mr. Singh said.
Asked about the task of building up an effective intelligence network among villagers, Mr. Singh said the process was under way. He pointed to the recent raids on Maoist camps and the arrest of several Maoist leaders, including Venkatesh Reddy alias Deepak, to back his point.
Local intelligence network and coordination among the security forces were vital for the success of the operations, especially in West Bengal where Maoists enjoyed considerable local support through their frontal organisations, and where incidents, akin to the Silda camp attack, had occurred mainly because of the communication gap between the forces.
As for strengthening of the manpower and upgrading of the police weaponry and camps in the three affected districts of West Bengal to confront any surprise attack by Maoists, Mr. Singh said the government was "trying to improve the infrastructure as fast as possible."

The omission of constitutional change in the State of the Nation Address put President Aquino at loggerheads with Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr.
Prior to the delivery of the Sona last Monday, the leaders of both houses of Congress had lobbied hard with the President to back their proposal to amend the economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution restricting ownership by foreign investors of land, utilities, transport, media and communications to 40 percent, to attract a larger flow of investments. While the President was from the start firmly opposed to the proposal, the congressional leaders received a shock when their Charter change project did not merit even a single word of recognition in the Sona—the most important document containing an administration's record of its achievements in the past year and its agenda of plans and policies for the next.
In the tradition of our constitutional system, the Sona is the exclusive prerogative of the President to set the political, economic and social agenda of the nation; it is his bully pulpit from which to launch social and political change. It is hard to explain how it occurred to the two congressional leaders to proclaim their own agenda in competition with that of the Sona, with the result that, in a single day, three Sonas were pronounced—one from the President, one from the Senate president and one from the Speaker. This underlines the chaotic character of policymaking in our political system.
Their agendas are not complementary and contain a number of overlaps of legislative proposals and priorities. For example, it was during his policy statement ahead of the Sona when Senate President Enrile pressed his call for Charter change, after the President had brushed it aside. It is not that—although the President didn't agree with the argument that it's now the right time to tinker with the Constitution—the executive is not willing to hear the arguments for Charter change from Enrile and Belmonte. He is willing to listen. It's just that he won't come on board Enrile and Belmonte's bandwagon and give their movement a badly needed push. In short, he is not willing to give Charter change legitimacy. Nor is he going to throw the powers of his office to block it.
Despite the Sona's silence on constitutional change, Belmonte insisted that Congress would continue to push the project and that he and Enrile planned to meet the President soon to discuss the proposed amendments. "The President may not be in favor of Charter change so he" opted to exclude it from his speech, but "whatever it is, the Senate president and I will see him next week." He said, "I think we need (Mr. Aquino's) endorsement … but if he doesn't push it, at least he doesn't talk against it."
The divergence of the President and congressional leaders on Charter change highlights the changing balance of power between the executive and legislative branches as the government shifts its focus to economic issues after its success in removing Chief Justice Renato Corona in a bruising impeachment trial that damaged the independence of the Supreme Court and that enhanced the power of Congress and the presidency.
The impeachment saw the combined powers of the presidency in spearheading the prosecution of Corona. It was the House under Belmonte's leadership that fast-tracked the impeachment complaint and marshaled the votes to send it to the Senate for trial.
Now roles have changed. Malacañang and Belmonte don't see eye to eye. The Palace claims that Congress is independent and can move as they wish. "It would depend on the President's allies in Congress whether or not to support the Charter change initiative, or follow the President's wishes," said a Palace spokesperson. Question is, who or what is the persuader?
Belmonte is hard put to look for votes to sign a resolution calling for constitutional amendments. In his case, the President's preference is likely to prevail, even without having to lift a finger. Belmonte and Enrile, crucial allies of the President in the impeachment case, are demonstrating some form of independence from the President. He does not care if they agree or disagree over Charter change, or resent being ignored in the Sona. We do need a legislature that is not a rubber stamp of the executive but their alliance made the executive so overly powerful relative to the legislature and the judiciary that it would require more than opposing the President on Charter change to realign the imbalance of power among them. They are to blame.
Unfortunately for the supporters of Charter change, those opposing it have found support from commentaries of independent academics and well-informed intellectuals. Their arguments are a windfall for Mr. Aquino. The pro-Charter change lobby had better look for more persuasive arguments. If they can't, the excessively powerful President will feel invincible and treat his erstwhile cohorts in Congress like dirt.

A challenging issue in designing computational methods for predicting the gene structure into exons and introns from a cluster of transcript (EST, mRNA) sequences, is guaranteeing accuracy as well as efficiency in time and space, when large clusters of more than 20,000 ESTs and genes longer than 1 Mb are processed. Traditionally, the problem has been faced by combining different tools, not specifically designed for this task.
We propose a fast method based on ad hoc procedures for solving the problem. Our method combines two ideas: a novel algorithm of proved small time complexity for computing spliced alignments of a transcript against a genome, and an efficient algorithm that exploits the inherent redundancy of information in a cluster of transcripts to select, among all possible factorizations of EST sequences, those allowing to infer splice site junctions that are largely confirmed by the input data. The EST alignment procedure is based on the construction of maximal embeddings, that are sequences obtained from paths of a graph structure, called embedding graph, whose vertices are the maximal pairings of a genomic sequence T and an EST P. The procedure runs in time linear in the length of P and T and in the size of the output.
The method was implemented into the PIntron package. PIntron requires as input a genomic sequence or region and a set of EST and/or mRNA sequences. Besides the prediction of the full-length transcript isoforms potentially expressed by the gene, the PIntron package includes a module for the CDS annotation of the predicted transcripts.
PIntron, the software tool implementing our methodology, is available at http://www.algolab.eu/PIntron webcite under GNU AGPL. PIntron has been shown to outperform state-of-the-art methods, and to quickly process some critical genes. At the same time, PIntron exhibits high accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) when benchmarked with ENCODE annotations.

Syracuse Crunch
Nesterov Signs NHL ContractSubmitted by chad on April 30, 2013 - 15:28
The Tampa Bay Lightning have agreed to terms with defenseman Nikita Nesterov on a three-year, entry-level contract today, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced.
Nesterov, 6-foot, 183 pounds, played in 35 games with Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL this season, recording 14 penalty minutes while averaging 12:21 in average ice time. He also appeared in 19 playoff games, recording four assists as Traktor lost to Dynamo Moscow in the Continental Cup Finals. Nesterov has played in 45 career KHL games, all with Traktor, recording one assist.
A native of Chelyabinsk, Russia, Nesterov has represented his country in each of the previous two seasons. He played for Russia at the 2011 IIHF World Under-18 Championships, recording two goals and four points in seven games. Nesterov then played in last year's IIHF World Junior Championships, skating in seven games and registering two goals and five points.
Nesterov, 20, was selected by Tampa Bay in the fifth round, 158th overall, of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He participated in the 2012 Lightning Development Camp at the Brandon Ice Sports Forum. Nesterov's team, also made up of Vladislav Namestnikov, Slater Koekkoek and Cedric Paquette, took home the annual 3-on-3 tournament championship.
BP Notes:
Nesterov is an undersized puck mover who plays a strong positional game. He has a high hockey IQ, which helped keep him in the KHL this year. In fact, Nesterov was used at both forward and a defense for Chelyabinsk late in the year and in the playoffs.
Crunch Win 4-2, Push Pirates to BrinkSubmitted by jghoughtaling on April 28, 2013 - 22:42
It all started with the physical play.
Coming off a come-from-behind overtime win one night earlier, the Syracuse Crunch made a point to continue pounding the Portland Pirates.
It didn't take long -- less than 10 minutes -- for the results to show up on the scoreboard. Ondrej Palat's wrister beat Pirates goalie Chad Johnson, giving the Crunch an early lead.
"He's finishing checks and hammering guys, then he goes and scores the first goal for us," said Syracuse coach Rob Zettler of Palat.
Palat and Tyler Johnson each provided a goal and an assist, leading the Crunch to a 4-2 win over the Pirates in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals at the Onondaga County War Memorial Sunday. Syracuse leads the best-of-five series 2-0, with the teams meeting again in Portland Thursday.
AHL Playoff Game Night: 4-28-13 Pirates at CrunchSubmitted by pete on April 28, 2013 - 21:32
Game Two goes according to plan.
Syracuse Leads the Best-of-Five Series 2-0
Cedrick Desjardins allowed 2 goals on 20 shots for the victory. He looked much more solid tonight in net. The team needs him to play like that moving forward if they want to reach their ultimate goal.
First Period
SYR Palat, (1) (Johnson, Taormina), 9:33
SYR Brown, (1) (Angelidis, Wyman), 10:41
Second Period
SYR Johnson, (2) (Palat), 0:49 (SH)
SYR Connolly, (1) (Sexton, Devos), 14:36
POR Gormley, (1) (Shinnimin, Johnson), 16:50
Third Period
POR Johnson, (1) (Lessio, Gormley), 9:40
Tyler Johnson, Ondrej Palat, and Matt Taormina were the game's three stars.
I continue to be extremely impressed by Palat. He's been the complete package through 2 games in this series. Just like last season, good things happen when the man has the puck. I was also impressed with Vladislav Namestnikov, who got a lot more ice time with Richard Panik getting kicked out after a secondary altercation. Portland tried targeting Namestnikov, and Vladdy rose to the challenge. He was feisty and he landed some good hits in the Third Period, to go along with his usual puckhandling and playmaking.
Game Three is Thursday in Portland. This is where Zettler's going to earn his big boy coaching pants. Portland's going to throw everything they have left at Syracuse in the First Period, and if Syracuse is complacent, bad things will happen. Playoffs are about attrition as much as anything, and if you have a chance to finish an opponent off, you do it. Anything that extends a series is another set of shifts where one of your key players can get hurt, so you have to finish the drill ASAP, and with Providence falling behind 2-0 in their series and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton up 2-0 in theirs, it's looking like a very good Pens team is lurking on the horizon. Syracuse wants to be healthy and rested for that potential opponent.

Panik Scores OT Goal, Crunch Win Game 1Submitted by jghoughtaling on April 27, 2013 - 23:40
After two potential game-winning goals were waved off in overtime, Richard Panik provided one that left little doubt.
The Syracuse Crunch forward accepted the pass from Ondrej Palat, spun to the left across the crease, and put the puck over Portland Pirates goalie Chad Johnson. No stranger to overtime goals, Panik was nonchalant about the play.
"Just a good move I guess," he said with a smile.
The goal capped a come-from-behind 4-3 overtime win for the No. 3 Crunch over the No. 6 Portland Pirates in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals at the Onondaga County War Memorial Saturday. Syracuse hosts Game 2 Sunday.
AHL Playoff Game Night: 4-27-13 Pirates at CrunchSubmitted by pete on April 27, 2013 - 22:11
Syracuse withstands Portland's best punch.
Syracuse Leads the Best-of-Five Series 1-0
Cedrick Desjardins allowed 3 goals on 31 shots for the victory. 2 of those goals were softies on wrap-arounds that Desjardins needs to wipe out of his game quickly moving forward in these playoffs. He scares me. Point blank, the guy scares me.
First Period
POR Dziurzynski, (1) (Werek), 10:53
POR Rundblad, (1) (Gormley, Martinook), 17:16 (PP)
Second Period
SYR Johnson, (1) (Panik, Palat), 6:37 (PP)
POR Brown, (1) (Lane, Miele), 8:23
SYR Barberio, (1) (Palat, Johnson), 13:32 (PP)
Third Period
SYR Sexton, (1) (Sustr, Devos), 7:54
SYR Panik, (1) (Palat, Johnson), 6:36 (PP)
Richard Panik, Tyler Johnson, and Radko Gudas were the game's three stars. While not terribly visible at even strength, Panik showed great hands around the net on the PP setting up Johnson's goal and outwaiting Portland's netminder on the game winner. Panik attack, y'all.
That, I suspect, was Portland's best chance to seize upset momentum in this series. They got a couple of softies out of Desjardins and had the 2 goal lead on the road with a chance to steal home ice in a short 5-game series. The Crunch kept chipping away at it though and eventually wore out the Pirates, who now may have to go without Boris Valabik for a few games after a vicious elbowing major that led to Panik's winner. Syracuse now just has to make sure Brett Connolly, the recipient of that elbow, is healthy along with Johnson and Mark Barberio, each of whom also got banged up during the game. All three returned to action, so hopefully everything is going to be fine.
As quiet as a 3 assist night can be, I thought Ondrej Palat along with Johnson were Syracuse's best players tonight. Palat also drew three penalties out of Portland on top of his scoresheet production.
Game Two is tomorrow night. We'll see what Portland has in the tank.

Darren Clarke called it the toughest par-77 he'd ever seen. Lee Westwood said there were eight very hard holes and 10 impossible ones. And just about every other player sensed Whistling Straits was about to eat them alive.
And then Thursday's first round came. And Clarke shot a 65. And Justin Leonard and Ernie Els shot 66s. And a whole heap of players shot under par for the day.
Which brings up the question: Did the PGA of America set up Whistling Straits too easy on Thursday? As usual, the discussion turned into an argument which turned into a bare-knuckle boxing match, but in the end, we decided words were the best way to settle this issue.
|Did the PGA of America set up the course too easy?
If you watched last year's British Open at Royal St. George's or this year's U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, you saw hilly fairways which couldn't hold a drive, pot bunkers with ladders attached just to get out of, and baked greens slicker than formica. The players whined, the players complained, and the players had to shoot right around par to contend in the tournaments.
And what's wrong with that?
Many people thought this week's PGA Championship would be a repeat of those two. A monster of a course at 7,514 yards, players were saying a score over par could win the tournament.
Instead, the PGA of America swooped in to save the day. Like the sweet old grandpa who spends hundreds in a toy store, the PGA didn't want to see its kids suffer, then wail and cry if they didn't get their way. So, rather than a 70, a few 71s and a bunch of 72s, the PGA Championship leaderboard resembled that of the Reno-Tahoe Open, with 66s and 67s throughout -- and even a 65 at the top.
Yep, that's right. Darren Clarke made nine birdies en route to the round of the day. Toughest course ever? This might not wind up being the toughest PGA Tour course in the Greater Milwaukee area, as 13 under won the U.S. Bank Championship at nearby Brown Deer Park last month.
By moving up tees and making easy pin placements, the PGA of America has tamed Whistling Straits into a quiet beast. They wouldn't have it any other way.

Lauren Goodger is in all sorts of trouble after tweeting DURING Dancing on Ice.
Lauren and Lauren's cleavage posed for Twitter. Copyright: [Twitter]
The former TOWIE star wrote: "Whats everyone think so far? xxx" and added: "You can support ME on @dancingonice by adding a sparkly blue LG Twibbon to your page!"
Soon after she posted a third tweet, writing: "I will be skating next week, can't wait to show you all my moves! xxx".

She also posted this very pouty snap of herself in her skating gear.
Which made us think, is it any wonder she wanted to share the snap? Lauren looks blimmin' HOT!

So if your like us, you are probably thinking so what is the problem?
Well, producers don't want contestants to be seen with their heads in the phones during the show.
A source told The Sun: "The skaters can tweet during the ad breaks if they like but they aren't supposed to have their phones on them when we are filming."
"Lauren had her phone in her hand and was tweeting when the cameras were rolling, so we had to have a quiet word and ask her to put it away."
Lauren is reported to be 'very nervous' about taking to the ice this weekend and we say, perhaps she should put down the phone and get practicing!

A lot of students find the idea of giving a speech, scary. In case you are afraid of speaking in front of others, take heart. There are measures you are able to take to alleviate your anxieties. Consider these suggestions when your next address comes up. Make sure that you keep concentrated when you get out there and start talking. Your message won't be received well should you go too much off issue. Do everything you can to stay on the original issue, or you may risk scaring away a substantial part of your audience.
The tone of your speech should depend on who you're giving it to. For instance, if your speech is work-connected, your speech ought to be professional. On the other hand, in the event you are around friends and need to make a speech, you can be more personal. Base your whole speech on your audience. Use your most powerful voice when you are delivering your message and it's going to be received much better. People listen harder to people who have self-assurance, and talking loud will convey that message. Even if you are not 100% confident, no one will know that if you appear to be while you talk.
Arrive half an hour early for your speaking engagement in order you can familiarize yourself with the room. Ascertain where you will be during the demonstration. Find out what course you'll take to get to the podium. Make sure you have a glass of water placed on the podium. By taking care of these little details, you will feel more comfortable while speaking.Speech writing is just like saying "research paper writing" Whether you are a newcomer to public speaking or it is some thing you've done tons of times, viewing videos of the pro might be useful. Seeing dozens of times enables you to see what the experts do and say to engage their audience. You can then try using all these techniques when you give your next address.
Do not drink booze before you give a address. It might seem like it could help embolden you, but it frequently works against you. It's possible for you to forget things and appear haphazard when you are on stage. Look at the venue before you make your address. See how huge the room is, how many seats there are, and what the lighting is like. You will feel less nervous when you understand what environment you'll be dealing with. Additionally, try standing in the podium to get a feel of the stage.
Be sure to make your crowd your ally. Smile towards them when you enter. Shake a couple of hands if you're able to. When you give off a positive vibe before your address, the audience could be more interested in what you need to say.Constantly be yourself when you're giving a speech and you'll have better luck with all the audience. Sincerity is a quality that a lot of people value and admire. If it is clear to the audience that you're not putting on a show when you are talking to them, they'll receive your message better.
Do not jump right into your subject. Make sure to begin your speech with a nice greeting for your crowd. This will definitely definitely help put everyone at ease. Additionally, it provides you with a chance to settle into position and prepare yourself to speak. Naturally, it is also just the most polite action to do. Believe in yourself. If you think you will do well, you are more likely to succeed. If you believe you may fall flat in your face, that is something that's more inclined to happen. Try and banish negative thoughts from your head and imagine yourself giving a perfect address.
Understand what your strengths are. Frame your speech around your strengths. For instance , if you're able to tell a great story, tell one that your audience will love. Find a means to integrate the narrative in your address in such a way that it flows seamlessly into the presentation of the facts you need to get across.See your venue a few days ahead of time to get the lay of the land. Being knowledgeable with the room at which you are going to discuss will make everything easier and much more comfortable. On the day of the occasion, make sure to arrive early to socialize with members of your audience and start developing a link. Having read this article in full, you now know a couple of tricks to exploiting your anxiety of public speaking. Bookmark this page in order you can come back to it any time you need to discuss in public. You'll get more comfortable with training. Go ahead and practice today!

Hi Everyone,
I have all the yarn for a Pat Trexler pattern "Anything Goes" but I can't find the pattern. Since Pat has passed away some time ago, no one seems to have an archive of her patterns. Can anyone help me out--it's really a lovely sweater vest made with several colors.
Many thanks.
