2015 Giving!
CYT's programs are about so much more than musical theater! We are dedicated to developing character in children and adults one stage at a time. Studies show that students who participate in the arts do better in school, stay in school longer and win more academic awards. They are also three times more likely to go to college and become more confident, considerate, pro-social and pro-civic citizens! As arts education continues to decline in schools and less funding is received, CYT San Diego counts it an honor to work with so many students each year to help develop character and the skills for successful futures.
Amy Kennard, CYT Alumnus and current CYT mom, had this to say about her most recent CYT experience:
I tucked my daughter into bed last night with tears in her eyes (typical after the closing show and strike party of any show she's in). But her words this time were different..."I'm so happy...I made it." It wasn't just a sadness about a sweet, sweet memory coming to an end, but a deep gratitude for the support and encouragement she had been given every step of the way.....Our quote in our family for life in general is, "Waiting in hopeful anticipation for just a glimmer of His plan or presence." The fact that my daughter has experienced this through her time at CYT...especially over the past 8 weeks...brings a smile to my face and much gratitude in my heart ONCE AGAIN for each of you!
If CYT has been a blessing to you or your family, we hope you will consider supporting us with an End-of-Year donation so we can continue impacting families around San Diego! This year, CYT San Diego is looking for a new home. We are fundraising for the capital needed to move over 30 years of history from our offices, to our sets and costumes.

Thread: Illustration, rendering
January 6th, 2010 #1
Illustration, renderingHello folks!
I've started to use painter recently, i have alittle knowledge of the program itself yet.
Now my question is which brushes you use for rendering and general cocncept designs etc. In photoshop it's very eas, but painter emulates alot from traditional media, thus makes it hard to go in with that small brush to finish things out. I've been using oil pastels abit as i seem to like the most for the way they behave, but overall they can turn your piece into a too much blended and soft.
Like i did it here on that doggy's head:
Altho i love painter for how great colors you can get with it's mixing method as i got here:
Now please list any brushes that are great for this purpose or what to twaek with those currently located in painter, any tutorials are welcome also.

work in higher resolutions - scaling down will give you a sharper look;
also, try painting finer details with round camel hair brush (found in oils cat.) - it's similar to oil pastels, but needs practice to get used to.
on the fourth day of glitchmas my painter gave to me
four random crashes, three broken brushes, two system hangups & one corrupted workspace

it can look too blended if you only blend or smudge to make transition, but you can also make transitions by add an intermediate value between the light and the shadow instead of pulling them together which "losses" it edge. when you add this value all your edges can be hard but it gives the impression of blending while keeping the painting for getting fuzzy.

You can make any brush (well most) harder... ie less smudgy/blended/soft by changing the Bleed setting and also the Resaturation setting.
Choose your brush, go to Window/Brush Controls/Well and change the Bleed slider. The higher the percent the more bleed, so to make a brush sharper lower the amount.
Resaturation affects how much the brush colour is blended. ie at 100% the colour is totally what you've selected in the colour wheel. At 1% the colour will initially blend a lot more with whatever colour is underneath it, and as you drag the brush the colour from the colour wheel comes through. Therefore if you want less blending make the Resaturation at a higher percent.
January 6th, 2010 #5Thank you guys so much, sorry to ask kinda silly questions but i've been using only photoshop for few years now and i have alittle knowledge of painter yet, once again big thanks!
January 6th, 2010 #6
You also may want a needle brush, grab the brush you like most, change spacing to minimal, and to change size to a 0% so the brush can do tiny details at the end, cause the scratchboard pen its really annoying and hard to control, i made a cover pencil this way and leave me soft tiny lines, that i use for tiny details.
There are no such things as bad art, just tight deadlines.

Ryan Howard hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off Brett Cecil that cleared the back fence and went out of Bright House Field, helping a Philadelphia Phillies' split squad beat the Toronto Blue Jays 13-5 Sunday. Howard's fifth-inning drive put the Phillies ahead 6-4. After missing spring training and the first half of last season while recovering from a torn left Achilles tendon, Howard is hitting .417 (10 for 24) with three homers, three doubles and 10 RBIs in nine exhibition games. Domonic Brown also hit his third spring training homer, a solo shot in the fourth off left-hander Aaron Loup. Jose Bautista and Mark DeRosa homered for the Blue Jays. Bautista, who played in just six games after the All-Star break last year due to a wrist injury, has two home runs in six games during the exhibition season.

The Glasgow-born writer is one of a number of authors who have leant their support to the Let Books Be Books campaign, which seeks to put pressure on publishers to not market books along gender lines.
The campaign has also attracted the backing of novelist Philip Pullman and children's laureate Malorie Blackman, along with publishers Parragon and Usborne and bookseller Waterstones.
The campaign wants to see an end to books being sold specifically for boys or girls, or being coloured pink or blue depending on the target gender.
Parragon and Usborne have said they will no longer produce books with 'for girls' or 'for boys' in the title.

Neanderthals, humans and interbreeding: old bones, new evidence
For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Speaking in parables is indeed similar to an artist's craft. They create impressions, whole new worlds of meaning intended to turn old worlds on their heads.
Classical Christian orthodoxy as expressed in the Creeds begins at the beginning: nature owes its existence to and is sustained by Jesus Christ. One implication is that the best way of finding out about nature is to look at nature.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about science and faith in America. The graphic uses data from Gallup Research, The New York Times, and the Pew Research Center to show what Americans currently believe about the origins of humans.
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment on "junk DNA", we explore how genomics can be employed to test for non-functional sequences by comparing sequences between related organisms.
In this five part series, two young men, Josh and Aron, engage each other through e-mail letters. Their conversation oscillates between the seemingly suspicious elements of God and the gospel (raised by Josh) as well as responses that offer meaningful insight into these questions (answered by Aron). Ideas such as prayer, judgment, and the concealed nature of God are among the many points in this truth-seeking exchange.
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
In addressing the subject of creation, William P. Brown contends that there is not one story but seven contained in the sacred texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The books of Genesis, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah each provide unique perspectives of the natural world.
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
Clearly explaining the science, the authors focus on areas where Christians agree. They also present the strengths and weaknesses of areas where Christians differ. -Amazon
In this six part series, Brian Godawa takes a closer look at cosmography and its relationship to the Bible. After defining cosmography as a theory that describes features of the heavens and the earth, he relates how his own views about the universe have shifted. He then continues to talk about the Mesopotamian cosmography that is so consistently reflected in Scripture. This view of the universe includes aspects such as the firmament, the pillars, the underworld, the heavens above, the watery abyss. He then explains how one understands these concepts in terms of modern scientific thought.
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
Science does not overthrow the Bible. Faith does not require rejecting science. World-renowned scientist Francis Collins, author of The Language of God, along with fellow scientist Karl Giberson show how we can embrace both. -Amazon

Obviously that will be a key issue on tonight's show, which direction, if any, they go with him. However, it wasn't some long-term deal but it was a way out of the match and figure out what to do later situation. Source: F4Wonline.com

Read Poems by
Lee Ramage
As the sun moves down and sets behind the distant trees,
You take a deep breath, the perfect time of day, if you please.
Shoulders relax as you sit and reflect on the hours gone by,
Evening approaches as the day ends and you breathe a sigh.
The sky changes colour from warm yellow to pinkish mauve,
Supper is done and the dirty dishes are still sitting on the stove.
Don't work through this picture, you don't want to miss the glow,
The shine on the river, the reflected shadows make time slow.
Not only is the world most beautiful now but without the sun,
It signals that if its been a bad day, it is now officially done.
Sometimes in the summer, its a perfect time to take a drive,
Makes you feel good, singing and driving, just glad to be alive.
You anticipate the oncoming evening because it holds your private time,
Where you can take a bath and soak, that feeling of calm, so sublime.
Sundown reminds you that repairing slumber time will soon be here,
Tomorrow, same feelings but the picture changes throughout the year.

Sorry, I'm sure this is simple but I'm tired and can't figure it out.
I have an array of elements, each element is in fact a particle which is a data structure (a struct in c) containing, among other things the particles current position (int x,y,z). I want to compare the elements x position not just the element itself.
Looking at the pseudocode on wikipedia, I've attempted to modify it to compare the attribute I want but I think I've done something (probably simple) wrong.
Here's what I've modified:
for (i = 1; i<length; i++) {
value = particles[i].position.x;
j = i - 1;
while (j >= 0 && particles[j].position.x > value) {
particles[j+1] = particles[j];
j = j - 1;
particles[j+1] = particles[i];
If someone could point out my mistake that would be great!

But her efforts could end up jeopardizing the upcoming Spring Flower Festival and Fanny's original ballet, "Paper or Plastic."

The Magazine
No Way, E.J.
From the Scrapbook.
Jan 18, 2010, Vol. 15, No. 17
The Scrapbook enjoys a good chuckle every morning, to start off the day. And what better way to do it than to turn to the op-ed pages of the Washington Post and get a dose of E.J. Dionne Jr.?
Of course, The Scrapbook takes E.J. Dionne Jr. very seriously: He is, in addition to being an ex-Rhodes Scholar, twice-weekly Post columnist, and the author of three books, a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, a University Professor in the Foundations of Democracy and Culture at Georgetown University's Public Policy Institute, and a commentator on (where else?) National Public Radio.
He has also—there is no other way to put it—become an unapologetic partisan hack. It's never very difficult to discern when Dionne has been the lucky recipient of a special briefing at the White House or club sandwiches in the Senate majority leader's dining room. Republicans are forever "mouthing" outlandish notions or "claiming" something ridiculous or "shouting down" people of decency and otherwise disgracing the body politic; Democrats are the party of the sensible center, good ideas, clean living, and the wisdom of experience. Like any popular newspaper feature, a Dionne column is entirely, incessantly, unremittingly predictable.
Take his recent tribute to Nevada senator Harry Reid, Democratic boss and mastermind of the health care "reform" spectacle ("Two cheers for Harry Reid," December 28). It would be difficult to find a more personally unpleasant or officially repugnant figure on Capitol Hill than Reid, whose prickly, defensive demeanor hides a nasty disposition and is likely to lead to defeat this fall. But tell that to E.J. Dionne Jr.! "You bet he made deals," Dionne writes, to produce a bill "that is the most far-reaching piece of social legislation since the 1960s."
That is one way to look at it, and Dionne is entitled to his opinion. But what caught The Scrapbook's eye the other morning was the thoroughly disingenuous means by which Dionne set the stage for his fawning tribute. One common practice of journalism in Washington, he says, "involves almost everyone beating up on the same politician at the same time." For awhile the victim of this ritual was Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who "was cast as a 'San Francisco liberal' out of touch with the 'real America.' " But as Dionne points out, Pelosi is really like her late father, a 1950s Baltimore mayor, "a highly practical local politician more concerned with delivering the goods than with passing ideological litmus tests."
Sounds like Speaker Pelosi to us! So having recognized the error of its ways about Pelosi, the capital press corps pushed her out of the crosshairs and substituted Harry Reid—which infuriates Dionne. "There is a rote quality to the attacks on Reid that flies in the face of what he's accomplished," he explains.
To which The Scrapbook can only ask: Is E.J. Dionne Jr. living on the same planet as anyone who follows the news and reads opinion journalism? It is true that both Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have been subject to criticism—perhaps even derided as "out of touch with the 'real America' "—but not by Washington pundits, or the mainstream media. Conservative blogs, certainly, and right-leaning publications, no doubt—but the Washington press corps?
This is what is known, in the column-writing business, as setting up a straw man in order to accomplish what is otherwise impossible. Which, when you think about it, was the task confronting E.J. Dionne Jr. when he set out to write "Two cheers for Harry Reid."
The Archbishop Weighs In
Seldom has a country been more frightened by a number than Great Britain was in October by the projection of its Office of National Statistics that the country's population would rise to 70 million by 2029—mostly due to immigration. Sixty million people now live cheek-by-jowl on that sceptred isle. An increase of 10 million means 15 percent population growth by the end of next decade, heavily concentrated in the most crowded parts of England, with the great bulk of it due to immigration.
A broad coalition has now been founded to reconfigure immigration policies to prevent that projection from becoming reality. Balanced Migration is chaired by Frank Field (a rather conservative member of parliament for the Labour party) and -Nicholas Soames (a Tory MP and Winston Churchill's grandson). The group issued a declaration last week noting the worrisome rise of the fascistic British National party, which got a million votes in last summer's European elections, including 10 percent of the vote in Yorkshire.

The following is a handicapping report for the top three matchups in the AFC this week with lines provided by BetDSI.
Sunday, Sept.30
New England Patriots (-3.5) vs. Buffalo Bills Total Line: 51
New England has almost lost as many games as it did all last season with a 1-2 start both straight-up and against the spread. The total has stayed UNDER in two of its first three games. The problems have been widespread with an offense that could not find the end zone in a loss to the Cardinals and a defense that could hold the line in this past Sunday night's loss to Baltimore.
Buffalo got waxed by the Jets on opening day, but looked much more respectable in back-to-back victories over Kansas City and Cleveland to move to 2-1 both SU and ATS. The total stayed UNDER against the Browns but went OVER in its first two games.
The Patriots are 7-1 SU and 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight trips to Buffalo and 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall. The total has gone OVER in four of the last six meetings but has stayed UNDER in 10 of the last 14 games in Buffalo.
Tennessee Titans vs. Houston Texans (-12) Total Line: 44.5
Tennessee's dramatic 44-41 victory against Detroit in overtime as a four-point home underdog raised its record to 1-2 both SU and ATS. The total has gone OVER in its last two games after staying UNDER in a 34-13 loss to the Patriots on opening day as a five-point home underdog.
Houston has presented itself as the most complete team in the AFC after rolling through its first three games by a combined score of 88-42. It is clicking on all cylinders on offense with quarterback Matt Schaub and wide receiver Andre Johnson healthy and back in the lineup. The total has stayed UNDER in two of its first three games.
The Titans are 10-4 SU in the last 14 meetings but just 2-5 ATS in the last seven. The total has nine of the last 12 games between the two. The Texans are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games against Tennessee and the total has gone OVER in six of the last nine meetings in Houston.
Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos (-7) Total Line: 46
Oakland's late-game heroics in its 34-31 victory over Pittsburgh this past Sunday as a four-point underdog at home avoided a dreaded 0-3 start which is almost like the kiss of death to making the playoffs. The Raiders are now 1-2 both SU and ATS with the total going OVER in two of their three games.
Denver came-up just short in the fourth quarter for the second week in-a-row dropped it to 1-2 SU and ATS. The total has gone OVER in two of the three games. Peyton Manning continues to put up some big numbers each week but needs to convert all this production into wins.
The Raiders have won four of the last five games SU against Denver overall and are also 4-1 SU in their last five road games against Denver. The total has gone over in four of those five games on the road.

The flaw in Abercrombie's thinking is that he believes this is a matter that can be laid to rest. But the birthers already believe in an ornate conspiracy, spanning many generations of bipartisan officials on the local, state, and federal level, to conceal the heritage of a biracial child in order to install him in the White House for... well, for kicks, I guess! Given that they already successfully contain all that derangement inside their cranial cavities, there's really no big reveal Abercrombie can offer that won't simply be seamlessly incorporated as component of this bonkers theory.

On Gonzalez, Larkin
Posted by JohnFay at 12/3/2008 11:41 AM EST on Cincinnati.com
I don't see shortstop on the top of the Reds' shopping list for next week's Winter Meetings. But I think they'd jump on the chance to get a young prospect. The reason is: They simply can't be sure of Alex Gonzalez's health and this is last year of his contract anyway.
The update on Gonzalez isn't all that encouraging.
"He's progressing," Walt Jocketty said. "He should be ready for spring training."
Gonzalez's plan when the season ended was to play winter ball -- first at the minor league level and then at the big league level. That's no longer the plan.
"We don't think that would be beneficial," Jocketty said. "We want him 100 percent for spring training."
Gonzalez hasn't played in a game since Sept. 12, 2007. He had surgery July 7 this year to correct the microfracture in left knee.
Also, someone asked about possibility of Barry Larkin returning to the organization a couple of weeks ago. Jocketty said the Reds have discussed it. "But there's nothing to report at this time," Jocketty said.
I believe Larkin parted ways with the Washington Nationals. If that's the case -- I'm checking -- I think you'll see him at spring training at the very least.

While Los Angeles Lakers fans might get their first chance to see new coach Mike D'Antoni on Tuesday night, the Brooklyn Nets will get their first look at a player who almost ended up on their team. Dwight Howard will try to lead the suddenly high-powered Lakers to a season-high third straight victory while denying the surging Nets their longest win streak in seven seasons. D'Antoni was expected to appear on the Lakers' bench for the first time Sunday against Houston, but his wife and team trainer Gary Vitti convinced him to wait a few more days to continue recovering from knee replacement surgery. "Knee replacement is serious stuff," Kobe Bryant said. "We just want him to take his time." D'Antoni has watched the past two games from the locker room while getting therapy on his knee, and has talked to the team before games and at halftime. Interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff, who will remain an assistant on the new staff, has guided Los Angeles to a 4-1 mark since Mike Brown's firin...

Maybe baseball fans have been wrong about steroids and PEDs being bad for baseball. Maybe PEDs are the best thing for small and middle market teams. Since drug testing has been implemented it is very rare for a player in their early to mid 30s to receive a long term contract from teams because they know the players skills will diminish with age, as they should. Even Cashman reportedly preferred not to resign A-Rod when he opted out of his contract two years ago because he didnt want to pay a player in his late 30s and early 40s and extreme salary. During the prime steroid years players it was common to give a 5- 6 year deal to players in their early thirties and expect them to produce until they turned 40. I believe part of this reason was because steroids inflated the market of above average players available to teams. The big market teams couldnt sign all the talent because there was a lot of talent to go around. Teams were also able to completely rebuild with free agents in the off season if they wanted to spend the money, like the 1997 Marlins.
Today it seems like fewer and fewer big time free agents become available in their prime years. Teams trade them off with 1 to 2 years of arbitration remaining because the players will command to much money in arbitration and they want to get something in return. Because small and middle market teams have very little room for error in developing a winning team. They cant afford to stupid free agent signing (See Cincinnati for an example) so the prefer to have plenty of prospects. During the steroid era it was easier for small and mid market teams to get an above average player at a decent salary to try and win, possibly leading them to hold on to there own talent through their arbitration years. Plenty of steroid players helped mid market teams win or compete, (possible players like Brady Anderson, Brian Giles, Benito Santiago, Luis Gonzales, etc). These guys werent super stars but they were all-star level players with the aid of steroids and there were a lot of them to go around the league. Which allowed for some room for error in building your team. It was easier to go out in free agency and add on to your team or to take on a contract in the middle of the season. Teams didnt have to be perfect timing the development of young talent to win together.
Now with PED testing this above average tier of steroid players seems to have been greatly diminished allowing for the best players to command such high salaries that only the biggest teams can afford them and forcing the rest of the league to settle for average and below average players.
I think baseball fans may have been wrong about PEDs, maybe we need them to see our teams win and more competitive balance. It certainly seems like it would be a lot easier to allow PEDs in baseball than to get a salary cap for the league.

Evercore Hires Jewelle Bickford to Help Expand Wealth Advisory
Aug. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Evercore Partners Inc., the investment bank founded by former U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Roger Altman, hired Jewelle Bickford as a partner in its wealth-management unit.
Bickford, 71, was a senior strategist at GenSpring Family Offices, New York-based Evercore said today in a statement. Before joining GenSpring in 2009, she was a global partner at Rothschild Group, where she was head of debt capital markets for its broker-dealer unit. She previously merged her investment-banking firm into Rothschild Inc. in 1994.
Evercore, run by Chief Executive Officer Ralph Schlosstein, has expanded in wealth management through acquisitions and hiring. In December, it purchased San Francisco-based Mt. Eden Investment Advisors LLC, which manages about $645 million. Evercore has hired managing directors for its wealth unit from Bank of America Corp.
"I've known Jewelle for years and am confident that her professional experience and range of relationships will enable her to make a significant contribution," Altman said in the statement.
Bickford will be based in New York and report to Jeff Maurer, CEO of Evercore Wealth Management, according to the statement. She's on the board of Women for Women International and the Women's Media Center, the company said. Bickford also is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and founded its task force on the role of women in economic and political development in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, Evercore said.

The strategy is part of the retailer's emphasis on "entertainment marketing," says David Seifert, director of operations and direct marketing. In stores the concept takes the form of enormous fish tanks and other outdoor-related spectacles; online, it's a chance to trade fish tales and equipment suggestions with fellow outdoors enthusiasts.
The forums are six years old and a cornerstone of the library. Regular library visitors generate significant BassPro.com traffic, Seifert says. "They frequent the site almost twice as much as regular shoppers who come in to browse," he says. "If you're just a shopping site, people come only when they want to buy something. We're not just a shopping site-people come for the content. But the retail navigation is available everywhere in case they decide they want to buy something." BassPro.com spends 20% of its web advertising dollars and uses ad space on its site promoting content.
BassPro.com forums don't score high on natural search because of search limitations in the merchant's forum software, Seifert says. The company is switching to an IBM platform that helps search engine spiders better crawl content; that should raise natural search results based on forum content, he adds.
Having seen the power of shopper-generated content, BassPro.com and PetsUnited are launching major forum revamps later this year. BassPro.com plans to integrate forums with customer ratings and reviews so discussions on picking the right equipment, for example, link directly to product reviews of items being discussed.
Further, both retailers plan to transform forums into more elaborate social networking vehicles, with sections to post pictures of the latest catch or videos of pets in training. "We want to be a one-stop shop," says Patterson of PetsUnited, "for whatever your interests and enthusiasms are."
Elizabeth Gardner is a Riverside, Ill.-based freelance business writer.
A forums forum
The question: What advice would you offer fellow e-retailers considering adding forums? PetsUnited, Bodybuilding.com and Bass Pro Shops agree on some general guidelines:
- A subject that inspires passion. Wine, yes. Coffee, maybe. Milk, not so much.
- A subject for which there's plenty to discuss: the subject itself (especially ones involving collecting or connoisseurship); equipment and supplies; and common problems where multiple heads are better than one. Anecdote-friendly subjects (pets, children, sports, travel) also supply fertile discussion ground.
- A sponsor that makes itself scarce. While forum participants are happy to buy stuff, generally they don't want input from a sponsor. It's important to avoid both overt commercialism and the temptation to censor negative comments about the retail operation.
- Volunteer moderators to keep discussions on track and avert flame wars. A forum that doesn't need oversight probably is one that's not getting enough traffic to justify its existence. Retailers can enlist a strong community member in addition to or instead of an employee.

Research published in the journal Genetics suggests that mutant maize have multiple independent pathways used to regulate and export sugars throughout its various organs
More than 40 years have passed since Woodstock, but psychedelics still have people seeing colors this time, in maize, and the significance is no hallucination. That's because scientists from Pennsylvania State University have identified new genes in maize which promote carbohydrate export from leaves. These genes are called psychedelic because of the yellow and green streaks they cause in the plant's leaves. Manipulating these genes may increase crop yields and the amount of biofuel that can be derived from each plant. This research discovery was published in the May 2010 issue of Genetics (http://www.genetics.org).
"This study shows that there is still a lot to learn about genes that control carbohydrate distribution in plants," said David Braun, Ph.D, a researcher involved in the work conducted at Penn State's Department of Biology. "By learning how these genes work, I hope we'll be able to improve plant growth and crop yield to solve some of the serious challenges concerning sustainable food and fuel production."
The movement of carbohydrates from leaves to roots, stems, flowers, and seeds is fundamental to plant growth and crop yields. Although the process has been studied for many years, relatively little is known about the genes that control it. This research shows that two previously unknown genes function together to help move carbon from leaves to other parts of the plant, ultimately resulting in the allocation of carbohydrates that are essential for growth. To make this discovery, scientists examined maize with yellow- and green-streaked leaves, a sign of mutation in genes responsible for the transport of carbohydrates within the plant. Once they identified the specific genes responsible for this colo

Port Vale: Birchall and Johnson sign but Rob Page linked with Sheffield United job
Posted: May 31, 2013|
CHRIS Birchall and keeper Sam Johnson have signed new deals at Port Vale.
The pair have become the latest of six out-of-contract senior players to tie up their futures in Burslem this summer.
It comes in a busy 24 hours at Vale Park as coach Rob Page emerged as a leading contender to be named manager at Sheffield United.
The 38-year-old has won admirers since stepping up from the youth department to assist Micky Adams with the first team 12 months ago.

Stoke City: The day Port Vale split up Tony Waddington and Sir Stanley Matthews
It is believed he is now one of two men left standing for the top job at Bramall Lane. An announcement could be made as soon as today.
The futures of skipper Doug Loft, midfielder Sam Morsy and centre-back Liam Chilvers are expected to be sorted over the next few days, too.
The trio are the last players on Vale's retained list not to have revealed their hand.
Adam Yates, Danny Jones, Ben Williamson and Louis Dodds agreed contracts last week, with Dodds signing his deal yesterday.
Midfielder Birchall, aged 29, rejoined Vale from Columbus Crewe midway through last season and made 11 appearances as the club secured promotion.
He has put pen to paper on a one-year contract, while young player of the season Johnson, aged 20, has signed for two years.
Adams said: "I've been impressed with Chris's attitude since he returned to the club.
"Sam had another good season for us. He is a young player with a lot of potential. I know that under the guidance of Mark Grew he will be looking to further that development this season and hopefully push Chris Neal."
Left-back Tom Morris, aged 18, has also agreed one-year terms.
Adams said: "This is the first step in Tom's professional career and I know he will be going all out to make an impression."
