Cyber security is normally highlighted as a concern for corporations and celebrities, not something to worry school children.
But a group of students aged nine to 17 from the Digital Youth Council showcased an internet safety tool at BETT 2015 consisting of a series of mini games aimed at educating kids about online threats such as data theft and hacking.
The tool injects fun into the complex and often sinister world of cyber security, and was developed using the resources of Virgin Media Business, which established the Digital Youth Council in December 2014.
V3 wondered whether kids really need to concern themselves with the threat of cyber attacks, but Gerry Arthurs (pictured), director of public sector at Virgin Media Business, suggested that it is not as unusual as one might expect.
"The idea was generated by the children themselves, and it was they who communicated to us not just the cyber security [concerns], but the fallout, the stress and panic that they could see in their parents when they thought things had gone wrong," he said.
Arthurs explained that today's children are "much more educated in what's occurring in the world around them", and are aware of news coverage of major cyber attacks.
He also pointed out that today's children have experienced cyber attacks first hand. His 12-year-old daughter suffered emotionally when her Instagram account was hacked, which made her more aware of data protection.
The Digital Youth Council has taken a positive step towards cyber security education, but it shows just how rampant cyber attacks have become when children are directly exposed to and affected by malicious hacks simply because they have access to the latest technology.
The flipside is that increased awareness may make it easier to tackle cyber threats as children avoid the digital mistakes of their parents.
It also hammers home the extent to which technology is embedded is in the lives of children, as many have access to cutting edge hardware from the moment they are able to swipe a touchscreen.
Some could argue that this access leads to a loss of innocence, but technology is a way of empowering children and allowing them to be more innovative in their learning and development.
It is inescapable that future generations will be more tech-savvy than their predecessors, and keener to adopt the latest cutting-edge technology.
There has been little in the way of direct action from major companies to address the gender imbalance in the technology industry, despite calls from the government throughout 2014 and numerous diversity reports revealing that major firms have a serious workforce imbalance.
More women are entering the industry via corporations or their own digital start-ups, resulting in positive reactions from women already established in the field, but IT and the surrounding sectors remain male dominated and few women fill high-level positions.
However, Intel has now thrown its hat into the ring with a pledge to increase diversity across its entire workforce by 2020 by hiring and retaining more engineers and computer scientists who are women or from under-represented minorities.
Rather than backing a programme or supporting an external organisation, Intel has put its money where its mouth is and will invest $300m to increase the company's diversity, hoping that its example will encourage other tech players to do the same.
Intel chief executive Brian Krzanich revealed the Diversity in Technology initiative at CES 2015 in Las Vegas.
CES is an event known for courting tech enthusiasts with consumer products, and may not seem the likely place to launch a diversity strategy. But with the industry's eyes glued to Las Vegas for several days, it presented a powerful platform for Intel to get its message across.
And the message is that action is needed, not just from Intel but from the technology industry as a whole if diversity is to be achieved and not merely encouraged.
In a surprising move, Krzanich said that the pay of Intel's leaders will be linked to the performance of the initiative in their areas in a bid to galvanise change from within.
Krzanich's CES keynote is a refreshing change from the situation last year, which saw Microsoft's Satya Nadella offering negative advice for women in tech, and appears to present an answer to the gender imbalance as the technology industry enters a new year.
If 2014 was a year in which women and diversity in technology was discussed, Intel may have made 2015 the year in which action is taken.
A video of a dog dressed as a giant mutant spider was the most popular video on YouTube in 2014, the site has revealed.
As part of an annual run down, YouTube revealed the top 10 most popular videos on the site. While the mutant spider-dog won, there was a notable inclusion in the list of a video showing how the iPhone 6 Plus is susceptible to bending.
The problem of the bendy iPhone 6 Plus, dubbed 'bendgate' by some, dominated the headlines for a few days earlier this year after reports surfaced that the devices could become misshapen in certain circumstances. Apple denied this at the time, claiming that only a few handsets were affected.
Nonetheless, a video (below) demonstrating how this bending can occur - admittedly through brute force - racked up the views to almost 60 million. Be warned: if you're an Apple fan it's not a pleasant sight as the defenceless iPhone 6 Plus is mangled beyond recognition.
Still, while this is scary to some, there is little doubt that millions more were scared witless by the site of the giant mutant spider-dog that roamed the streets of South Africa, terrifying all who encountered the eight-legged canine-arachnid hybrid.
To date it's been watched 115 million times. See why below.
While these video view numbers are impressive, they are not a patch on everyone's favourite South Korean K-pop exponent, Psy, whose Gangnam Style video was viewed so many times that it actually broke the YouTube hit counter.
The video had been watched 2,147,483,647 times at the last count. This was the limit that YouTube's hit counter could handle. It has now amended this to a top limit of 9,223,372,036,854,775,808. That's nine quintillion.
If you want to add another one to the view counter, watch away below.
Tabloid newspapers in search of a sensationalist story often claim that computer games are harmful for children. However, despite the red tops' machinations and protestations, the gaming industry continues to enjoy healthy growth.
The BBC has now entered the debate and come out in favour of such games for children, and has developed a digital tool that lets children create their own games based on CBBC show Technobabble.
Make It: Technobabble aims to encourage children to get involved with digital technology and use their creativity to manipulate the rules, background and physics of their game.
Martin Wilson, BBC Future Media's head of digital creativity, said in a BBC blog post that the tool requires only access to the web, willingness to experiment and an idea.
"It's a starter kit. It requires no technical knowledge, no download and works just as well on mobile and tablets as desktop," he wrote.
Make It: Technobabble was created as part of the BBC's Make It Digital initiative designed to introduce children to the world of coding and digital creativity.
Children can create apps for smartphones and tablets using the tool, which could inspire them to go on to create multimillion selling apps such as Angry Birds and Flappy Bird.
The BBC has a history of involvement with coding and technology, having created its own coding language and given many people their first taste of computing with the BBC Micro.
Such initiatives have been designed to develop digital skills at a grassroots level, running parallel with the introduction of coding into the school curriculum in September, all with the goal of closing the UK's digital skills gap.
The skills gap has prompted concerns that many technology companies will not have access to people with the right skills to fill the UK's digital jobs of the future.
LOS ANGELES: Tech leaders love to make digs at their rivals over perceived sluggishness, particularly in areas where they consider themselves to be ahead of the curve.
The cloud has been a hotbed of such activity for many years. One of the leading proponents of this unique form of cloud computing trash talk is Aaron Levie, CEO of Box. V3 has heard Levie mock rivals on many occasions for failing to embrace the cloud, something which no doubt helped his own company to grow.
However, as Levie noted at the Cisco Collaboration Summit 2014 attended by V3, most major IT vendors are now fully committed to the cloud. One upshot of this is that the chance to chide rivals in a jovial fashion has diminished.
"I don't even know who. Maybe IBM. I don't know who's not in the cloud now. All the people I make fun of has reduced over time," he said.
"You used to be able to make fun of Oracle, of Microsoft but it's going away. Everybody is so pro-cloud."
Indeed. Even IBM, which Levie unfairly name checks, has been making notable strides to get into the cloud, spending big on its SoftLayer acquisition and moving numerous services onto the platform to meet customer demand for this delivery model.
However, while the move to the cloud being undertaken by most IT giants has deprived Levie of his punchline punch bags, other areas of the industry still give him plenty of material.
When asked what he's hearing from customers at present, Levie used the question as a chance to trot out one of his standards: "What we hear from customers is, what if Lync and SharePoint just worked?"
Given that Microsoft is rebranding Lync as Skype for Business, Levie might need to rewrite that zinger, or get some new material.
A Kickstarter project to sell a miniature 3D printer based on the Raspberry Pi looks set to come to market after reaching its funding target in just a few weeks.
The iBox Nano is a tiny 3D printer measuring about 10x7.5x20cm that uses the Raspberry Pi single-board computer as a controller, demonstrating the flexibility of the low-cost ARM-based device.
Developed by iBox Printers of Melbourne, Florida, the device had secured $340,730 on the Kickstarter crowd-funding website at the time of writing, passing the firm's goal of $300,000 with seven days to go before the deadline.
The iBox Nano is a 3D resin printer that is the world's smallest, quietest and only battery powered model of its kind, according to the firm, and is set to be the most affordable when it goes on sale on Amazon Prime and iBoxPrinters.com for $299 (probably at least £299 for UK buyers).
While many other low-cost 3D printers use a thermoplastic method, where a plastic filament is melted and built up in layers by extrusion, the iBox Nano uses a variation of photopolymerisation technology, where a synthetic resin is solidified using LEDs.
In fact, iBox Printers claims to have developed a new twist on this technology, using an LCD and ultraviolet LEDs instead of a laser or projector, allowing for smaller packaging, completely silent operation, and significant reduction in power consumption, according to the firm.
The company also claims it as the world's first battery powered 3D Resin Printer, saying that the battery option is estimated to give approximately 10 hours of printing.
With its Raspberry Pi controller, the iBox Nano is more flexible on connectivity than many other 3D printers, using Ethernet or WiFi to receive print jobs.
"iBox Printers believes the iBox Nano will accelerate the adoption of 3D printers into the home market because of its affordability, silent operation, ease of use, small size, and cordless WiFi browser-based printing," the firm said in a statement.
Although smaller in size than most 3D printer devices, iBox Printers said this is a deliberate design choice as most of the objects consumers are likely to produce will be small.
"The iBox Nano is designed for the home user who wants to print small to average sized 3D objects with good resolution without having a large noisy printer intruding on their workspace. The goals were to be small, quiet, inexpensive and portable," the firm said.
Tim Cook has come out as gay in a rare move for the CEO of a top company in the US. Cook made the announcement in a piece written for Bloomberg.
"While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven't publicly acknowledged it either, until now. So let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me," he wrote.
The Apple chief said he decided to openly and publically state his sexuality an effort to help others.
"I don't consider myself an activist, but I realise how much I've benefited from the sacrifice of others," he said.
"So if hearing that the CEO of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it's worth the trade-off with my own privacy."
Cook said that being gay had helped him become a better person and a better business leader by making him immune to attack on himself or his role at Apple.
"Being gay has given me a deeper understanding of what it means to be in the minority and provided a window into the challenges that people in other minority groups deal with every day. It's made me more empathetic, which has led to a richer life," he said.
"It's been tough and uncomfortable at times, but it has given me the confidence to be myself, to follow my own path, and to rise above adversity and bigotry. It's also given me the skin of a rhinoceros, which comes in handy when you're the CEO of Apple."
Cook's decision to state his homosexuality so openly is notable because of its rarity in the upper echelons of major companies, especially in the US where many parts of the country have a Conservative attitude to the subject.
The issue of homosexuality in the tech community also hit the headlines earlier this year when Mozilla appointed Brendan Eich as CEO only to remove him after the furore caused by revelations that he had supported an anti-same sex marriage bill.
Social networks are a hubbub of digital noise and chatter, with people posting everything from casual opinions and updates on their breakfast, to breaking news and heated arguments.
Many companies and brands sweep these social platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, to glean information about potential customers in a bid to better target services and products.
But few would ever think of using that social data as a means of suicide prevention. However, the Samaritans charity has revealed a new website dubbed Samaritans Radar which scans and flags "potentially worrying tweets" to a Twitter user once they register their account.
Developed in partnership with digital agency Jam, the service will email registered users with details of tweets from people they follow that contain phrases such as 'tired of being alone', 'hate myself', and 'depressed', which potentially indicate a risk of suicide.
The email will also contain advice from Samaritans on how Twitter users can support their friends and the people they follow, who may be harbouring suicidal thoughts.
The charity acknowledges that the algorithm will take some tuning to filter out sarcasm and dark jokes: "Samaritans Radar is in its infancy and won't get it right every time. But there's a way for you to give feedback on whether a Samaritans Radar alert was correct, so the service improves for everyone as it learns more."
Samaritans stressed that the Radar will send alerts to Twitter users only by email and will not encroach on their or other users' experiences, nor will it ever post from a registered user account.
While it is not unusual for people to go online for support, the process of applying algorithms to a situation that is open to interpretation and context may seem like a way of dehumanising the provision of personal support - in part digitising empathy.
But with 15 million Twitter users in the UK, Radar could provide an online safety net that has until now been notable by its absence. In turn, Radar could help people take a more active role in giving support to others in a way that has traditionally been the domain of specialist charities.
While Samaritans Radar could be seen as a pseudo nanny state service, it is another example of digital technology that could yield life-saving results.

MemoriesHolding hedonistic images in my mindOf electric touches to out flung fingertips entwined.While wrought with aching, hearts harbor lustful sighs,Tracing tips of unbound hair falling from upswept ties.Because soft sounds of silent glances grow,When lovers' hearts shelter shreds of faults filled just so.Beats of broken whispers fill fleeting thoughts enshrined.
Summer MorningsThe sun fries greasy as clouds break the runny yolk. Crave those crispy sides.
Sunrise, SunsetI had a rose sunin a pocket full of trees.Glows like fingers stretched.
April ShowersAromatic trees,Spring stuck to my shoe today.Sopping wet petals.
Palms PressedI had my hands inside your mouth.Static filling friction.Overly fond gazes pull southHolding benediction.Expectant breath on my wrist etched.Our gravity spins, arms outstretched.Expectant breath,Expectant breath,This nexus, kinesthesia sketched.I had my hands inside your mouthTo hide trembling thoughts.So consecrated heat falls south,Attaining prior plots.Sensations, sharp longing allayed,The glow of warm smolders pervade,Sensations sharp,Sensations sharp.Satisfying covenants made.I had my hands inside your mouth,Pressed palms against your walls.Lingering caresses drift southCompellingly; time stalls.Arching, wrenching, the world glides by,Purging weak, wet sways of your sigh,Arching, wrenching,Arching, wrenching.Limbs and bones haphazardly lie.
Touching MusicOh, odes to grooves on vinyl.Fingers pinched winding teeth, smoothing tape.Sheltering shine; smudging out prints.
Grimm PithsSeditious inclinations seethe submerged.Weeping meat is painted to look like flesh.What savageries lurk, longing to be purged?Fetid, rotten insides tear wounds afresh.Can such filth, dark as coal, produce these gemsthat fall from my lips like toads from their maws?We who fear the dark of night, light condemns.Wallow in what lies in masks filled with flaws.Subsume this foul pit; would your soul submit?
TwelveThe orchids shiveredto the sound ofraw fingers onyour old guitar,smell of tarnish, metaland un-calloused skin -the only songs you knoware your father'slullabies and aChristian rock band'sgreatest hit,four cords strong.Played on hot weekendswith the windows open,twelve years old again,fat against the waistbandof Walmart jeansand straw hair stuckto your foreheadin humid summer air.I can't feel you here,in the apartment,know you're twelve years backin time,in a different town,with no stubble on your chin.
Hearts Never Belong To TwoBrazen skin.Under the cracks I see silk;Rusted and darkened, breaking at the seams.The feeling is similar, but within the grooves,Running my fingers along a familiar plane, I become lost,Confused;Naked against the differences.But I submerge deeper, looking for discrepancies.Same eyes, same mouth, same voice:Old-age antiquities, invaluable to me.But the silver tongue doesn't divert me.Soft spoken,Words pour into my ears.Persuasion is the greatest weapon, lies like poison.The bombardment insistent, the damage invisible.But secrets float to the surface.And hearts,Beating blood or bile,Never belong to two.

never mindI guess it's kind of funny, if you think about it. You always see in the movies – in the TV shows – people running and screaming and praying and stuff. That's what Hollywood always thought it would be like. Some sort of 'death cloud' or something – or like an asteroid or something like that – that just happened: that just totally hit everybody by surprise.People have known about it for months. It's not like in the movies. The word 'inevitability' comes to mind: and hey, guess what? Nobody cares to run from the inevitable. It's pretty stupid – isn't it, if you think about it – how people, in the movies, try to run from inevitable death. Everybody has decided what they were gonna do today weeks ago, maybe even months ago. Say goodbye to family, spend time with girlfriend, et cetera et cetera.

PetalsThe grass tickled between her toes as her father toiled away with the roses by the letterbox. She watched his fingers weave between the thorns to pat the soil around each bush, humming to some John Lennon song she couldn't put a name to. Despite the sun just tipping the horizon, she saw sweat prickling his brow and his eyes squinting against the light. The fine lines on his face were suddenly accentuated by shadow, and for a moment, she swelled with wonder.'Maria, come here,' he said, waving her over. 'You're not going to learn anything sitting all the way over there.'Excitement sparked her limbs into motion, and she crawled over to sit next to him, careful to tuck her skirt beneath her thighs to avoid the dirt.He picked up a pair of clippers from beside him. 'Now, you need to snipe back these diseased parts here and there from the base of the plant. It helps it grow better.'Snipping off two pieces of wood with ease, he deposited them in Maria's outstretched hand. Their rough textu

A sellout crowd of 52,631 packed Turner Field to watch the Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals in Major League Baseball's first wild-card playoff game. It was the Braves' biggest crowd of the season. Fans included former Braves owner Ted Turner, who set across an aisle from former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn. Former Braves manager Bobby Cox also attended the game. Tributes to retiring third baseman Chipper Jones gave the Braves three sellouts to close their regular season, pushing attendance to 2,420,171, a slight increase from their 2011 total. The potential for a sellout was jeopardized by the 5:07 p.m. start. Atlanta's Friday rush-hour traffic makes it difficult for fans to reach Turner Field for the first inning of night games. The late-afternoon start posed new difficulties. Texas hosted Baltimore later Friday in the first AL wild-card playoff game.

Arizona Coyotes
Tippett: Return of veterans helping Coyotes' penalty kill
During the Phoenix Coyotes' road trip slump last week, one of the issues was the team's penalty kill. In two losses to San Jose and the New York Islanders, they allowed four power play goals in 10 opportunities. In the four games since, the Coyotes have allowed just two goals in shorthanded scenarios.
The reason for the turnaround, according to head coach Dave Tippett, lies in the return of veteran defensemen Rostislav Klesla and Derek Morris, who have 29 years of NHL experience combined.
"Those two veteran guys coming in on the penalty kill certainly helped, just to stabilize," Tippett told Arizona Sports 620's Dan Bickley Show with Vince Marotta Wednesday. "And that was like the rest of our game, we just needed to stabilize. We had some veteran players out, some young players playing and when things aren't going well, the veteran players tend to be able to grab that situation a lot easier and do some good things."
Another player Tippett believes will help the group going forward is center Jeff Halpern, who signed with the Coyotes on Oct. 12.
"He jumped in (Tuesday) night for his first game, did a real nice job, was eight-and-one on faceoffs," Tippett said. "He'll continue to grow with the group."
The team currently ranks 20th in the NHL with a 78.1 penalty kill percentage, but their 88.9 percent mark in the last five games would be good for a top-three spot.

Leeds 'Summer Salon' - Eleanor Marx: A Life
Date: Tuesday 14 July, 6:45pm (for 7pm start) to 8:30pm
Venue: Carriageworks Theatre, Millennium Room
Speaker: Rachel Holmes
For this year's 'Summer Salon', cultural historian Rachel Holmes discusses her recent biography, Eleanor Marx: A Life
Unrestrained by convention, lion-hearted and free, Eleanor Marx was an exceptional woman. She was the first woman to lead the British dock workers' and gas workers' trades unions. For years she worked tirelessly for her father, Karl Marx, as personal secretary and researcher. Later she edited many of his key political works, and laid the foundations for his biography. But foremost among her achievements was her pioneering feminism. For her, sexual equality was a necessary precondition for a just society.
Rachel Holmes has gone back to original sources to tell the story of the woman who did more than any other to transform British politics in the nineteenth century, who was unafraid to live her contradictions.
Multiculturalism and its Discontents
Date: Monday 5 October, 6:45 (for 7pm start) to 8:30pm
Venue: Carriageworks Theatre, Millennium Room
Speakers: Adrian Hart, Paul Thomas (Huddersfield Uni), another t.b.c.
Leeds Salon's annual satellite event for the Battle of Ideas 2015.
Multiculturalism has come in for increasing criticism lately. Policies that were first posed as a solution to the racial conflicts of the 1980s have come to be seen by many as the cause of 'myriad social ills'. Recent comments by Nigel Farage in response to the Charlie Hebdo massacre that multiculturalist policies 'wilfully segregate us' and David Cameron that they have encourage 'different cultures to live separate lives', echo those of the former chair of the EHRC, Trevor Phillips, that such policies legitimise 'separateness' between communities.
But are the criticisms of multiculturalist policies fair? Do they threaten to re-create and reinforce a more divided Britain? Or are they still essential to delivering a fairer, more tolerant and egalitarian society? And if multiculturalist policy is a problem, what would we put in its place?

Montreal (27-17-5) at Philadelphia (32-12-5)
The Philadelphia Flyers earned a small measure of revenge in their latest game, beating the team that denied them their first Stanley Cup in 35 years in a series where they were decided underdogs.
If they get back to the NHL's biggest stage this spring, they might be heavy favorites.
The Flyers can close January with 10 wins in 12 games and add to their league-best 32 victories Tuesday night against the visiting Montreal Canadiens in both teams' final contest before the All-Star break.
Philadelphia (32-12-5) knocked off Montreal in five games in last season's Eastern Conference finals, a most unlikely pairing of the conference's Nos. 7 and 8 seeds.
The Flyers were considered a major underdog against Chicago in the Stanley Cup finals and went on to lose in six games, but on Sunday they gave the Blackhawks a look at perhaps the NHL's most consistent team. Philadelphia bounced back from a 3-1 loss to New Jersey less than 24 hours earlier by winning 4-1 at the United Center behind two goals from Jeff Carter(notes) and four assists from Claude Giroux(notes).
"It was obviously a big motivation factor for us," said Carter, who has six goals in his last seven games. "Before the game nothing needed to be said. We all knew what was going on today, so it was nice to come in and get a big win."
The Flyers improved to 9-2-0 this month and have turned a two-point deficit atop the Atlantic Division into a five-point lead over Pittsburgh. They're four ahead of Tampa Bay for the conference lead.
"I'm really happy we won the game today because we maintained our position in first place this year," coach Peter Laviolette said. "It's about looking forward, not looking back."
The Canadiens (27-17-5) got their own bit of revenge the first time they faced the Flyers, winning 3-0 at the Bell Centre on Nov. 16 behind 41 saves from Carey Price(notes).
Philadelphia has won the last two meetings thanks to three goals from James van Riemsdyk(notes), who scored both game-winners in the third period. The second-year forward missed the win over the Blackhawks with what's believed to be a groin injury but practiced Monday and might return Tuesday.
Van Riemsdyk has scored in each of his last two games, and Giroux has two goals and eight assists over his last six to take over the team lead with 46 points. Giroux had goals in both wins over Montreal earlier this season after totaling three goals and three assists in the playoff victory against the Canadiens.
Montreal is 7-1-3 since Dec. 31 and has a point in five straight, though it needed an impressive comeback to keep that streak going Saturday against Anaheim. Mathieu Darche(notes) scored with 3:40 left to pull the Canadiens within a goal, then Max Pacioretty(notes) tied it with 13 seconds left before the Ducks won 4-3 in a shootout.
"That was a good feeling but it got overtaken by the loss," Pacioretty said. "Those are two points that are so important and you hope to get both. It's always great to get a point but every point is so important, we would have liked to have two there."
The Canadiens will likely get a boost Tuesday with the return of center Jeff Halpern(notes), who missed the last two games with an upper-body injury.
Mike Cammalleri remains out with a separated shoulder.

France expected to reduce iPod tax
French authorities are expected to reduce a copyright levy imposed on flash music players as early as next week. The decision will reduce the tax on a 4GB iPod nano from over €50 (US$59) to about €8. "Last week, the French Commission on Private Copying adopted a proposal to reduce the levy on flash memory devices, aligning it with the levy on hard disk drives," reports IDG News. "The decision is widely expected to be published Dec. 1 in the Official Journal, where French laws and regulations must appear before they take effect."

When I showed my car to my coworkers with the Colgan sports car bra (carbon) installed on my hood, they all kept complementing me on how good it looks and wondered where did I get it from. Before me even purchasing it I tossed out the idea of planning to buy one of these and they all were trying to shoot down my idea. Well I guess I changed their minds, lol. Needless to say, I indeed told them where I purchased it from. Currently I'm (still) loving that I made this purchase.

Extending shelf-life with light cycles
The appearance, nutritional value and chlorophyll content of leafy green vegetables are preserved by maintaining daily light and dark rhythms after the crops have been harvested.
Stress resistance and polyploidy
Tetraploidization in citrus is accompanied by many metabolic and transcriptional changes, including an increase in stress-related primary metabolites in leaves and up-regulation of stress-response genes.
Plant-specific CDK function in diatoms
CDKA2, a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) from a unicellular diatom, shows properties of a B-type CDK, a class of cell cycle progression proteins that were previously thought to be plant-specific.
Argonaute evolution in plants
Analysis of a family of core proteins from the RNA-induced silencing complex, Argonaute, reveals a dynamic evolutionary process that leads to the functional diversification of smRNA pathways in higher plants.

Reply to the comment by Niu DK The indicated sentence from Akua et al, 2010 [1] is part of the general Introduction and not part of the conclusions.The indicated sentence is the first sentence of the Abstract. In the Introduction, we wrote in a prudent manner "Introns enhance gene expression by increasing the steady-state amount of mature mRNA in the cell [2], apparently without significantly changing mRNA stability [3,4]." This introduction sentence was based on several experimental studies in plant and animal cells in which introduction of an intron was shown not to affect RNA stability (e.g., [3-5]). As indicated in the comment by Niu DK, apart from global genomic analyses which found a correlation between intron content and mRNA stability [6-7], there was at the time Akua et al, 2010 [1] was published only one experimental study that showed that stability of short-lived mRNAs could be increased by introns [8]. We referred in our Introduction sentence, in a prudent way ("apparently"), to the data that originated from most experimental studies that were available at that time. Again, this sentence is part of the general Introduction and not part of the conclusions of Akua et al, 2010 [1].1. Akua T, Berezin I, Shaul O.

Dierks Bentley to Play Bonnaroo 2014
Bonnaroo is getting a little country this year! The eclectic 2014 Bonnaroo lineup now includes Dierks Bentley as part of the music festival's Bluegrasss Situation SuperJam.
Bonnaroo is getting a little country this year! The eclectic 2014 Bonnaroo lineup now includes Dierks Bentley as part of the music festival's Bluegrasss Situation SuperJam.
The Kentucky Derby is known for one thing aside from just the horse racing. Fashion is just as important as which horse takes home the top prize -- and Dierks Bentley felt the pressure before the May 3rd race in Louisville. Luckily he had some good friends, some big country acts, to help him before the big day.
There's a new Showdown champion. For the second straight song battle, a male country newcomer came out on top. This time Jon Pardi and his song 'What I Can't Put Down' took the most votes, edging out Frankie Ballard's latest single.
The California native will face off against anothe
Dierks Bentley's new song 'Drunk on a Plane' is a change of pace for a singer preparing to celebrate the chart-topping success of 'I Hold On.' Both songs come from his life story, but the new track is more of a dark comedy than a drama.
Dierks Bentley proved that not only is he a talented singer and guitar player -- but he's also a very supportive husband. His wife Cassidy ran this year's Boston Marathon, and he was there to cheer her on.
Country stars left their cowboy hats at home and donned server attire for the 13th annual Kevin Carter Waiting for Wishes Celebrity Waiters Dinner on last Tuesday (April 15).
Dierks Bentley and Sheryl Crow got the crowd on their feet during a performance of Bentley's hit 'I Hold On' at the 2014 ACM Awards.
Dierks Bentley may be one of the biggest acts in country music, but he was recently out-shined by two stellar stars...his daughters.
Taste of Country apologizes in advance for making you choose between these two country hotties. Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley square off in a March Man-Ness Final Four matchup after both scored decisive wins in the regional final. It's a contest to decide country's hottest male. Who are you voting for?
Just four men remain in the battle to find country music's hottest male. Taste of Country's March Man-Ness competition began with 32 sexy/handsome/studly men, but three weeks of fan-voting have decided the regionals.

- Calendar
- Contact Us
Skip to content
Beginning with the Fall 2014 semester, all students receiving the Hazlewood exemption must meet the Selective Service Requirements as outlined in TEC 51.9095. Senate Bill 1210 - Sec. 54.2001 states that a student may continue to receive the tuition exemption for a subsequent term only if:
Students who fail to meet these standards and lose the Hazlewood exemption may appeal. The appeal form and applicable documentation should be completed on both sides and submitted to the address listed on the Waiver & Appeal Exemption Form. No further processing of the Hazlewood application will occur, and you will be responsible for any tuition and fee payments, until you meet the requirements or until an appeal is granted.
For additional information on Selective Service requirements or to verify your registration status, please visit http://www.sss.gov
Hazlewood eligible students are also eligible to simultaneously receive federal student aid by completing the FAFSA. The exemption is always counted in your financial aid budget. Please note that your awards may be reduced if your application is processed after your aid has disbursed.
You must be registered for classes, and tuition and fees must be present on your UTA account in order for your Hazlewood Exemption to apply. If your application is not received by payment deadlines, you will be responsible for making payment arrangements with Student Accounts and will be reimbursed when Hazlewood posts. Hazlewood will not post to accounts until the previous semesters grades have posted for everyone.
Applications and Supporting Documents may be submitted by Fax: 817.272.7013 or Email: firstname.lastname@example.com; please include the student's UTA Maverick ID.
Deadlines for Submission are available on the VA Home Page. UTA will not certify exemptions that are in a past semester. You must turn in an application no later than the last class date of the semester to which the exemption applies.
Continuing Education Courses and the Executive MBA Program are not eligible for Hazlewood.
Texas Hazlewood Act Exemption Initial Eligibility Requirements
Hazlewood for Veterans: (Must reside in Texas while using benefit)
Hazlewood Legacy: (Must be 25 years old or younger & meet the school's resident tuition requirements)
Hazlewood for Dependents: (Veteran is 100% permanently & totally disabled or deceased as a result of a service connected illness or injury)
You must renew your application annually at FALL term. You'll need the Application Renewal Form and a printout of hours used from the Hazlewood Database for Students for Veteran, Legacy and/or Dependents.
An eligible veteran or designee who has assigned unused Hazlewood Exemption hours to a child through the Legacy Act may revoke the assignment of any unused hours by submitting the Revocation Form
For more information about the Hazlewood Act and education benefits for Texas Veterans call 1-800-252-VETS or visit the Texas Veterans Commission Website.

Java/CS1 Cheat Sheet
The next edition of my CS1/Java book is going to print soon. At the last minute, we decided to put the real estate of the inside covers to good use and include a "cheat sheet" with the most important Java control structures and libraries. Since it would be particularly embarrassing to have a typo here, I am hoping to enlist the aid of the community.

I just learned how to make Flash screencasts on my Linux system and deliver them (with GlassFish) on a server that the computer science department received as a donation (thanks Sun!!!).

This semester, I am teaching the CS1 course again. If you just teach plain Java, it isn't easy to come up with interesting lab assignments. Some of the students have built exciting animations with Alice in the CS0 course. Somehow, they aren't as excited about printing prime numbers or digits of π in CS1.
