Fox baseball broadcaster Steve Lyons has been fired for making a racially insensitive comment directed at colleague Lou Piniella's Hispanic heritage on the air during Game 3 of the American League championship series.
As he worked Friday's American League Championship Series Game 3 with Lou Piniella, Lyons made a comment about not being able to find his wallet and not wanting to "sit too close" to Piniella.
The supposed relevance of that, assuming one is intent in finding logic in any of this? Piniella, who has a Hispanic heritage, had earlier compared the good play of a Hispanic player to the good luck of finding a wallet. And thus Lyons, who spoke of "habla-ing Espanol" after Piniella said a few words in Spanish, seemed to be suggesting a convoluted connection between Hispanics and stealing wallets.
Not true, Lyons said: "My joke was about a wallet. It had nothing to do with race. We were all laughing at the time. I'm being painted as a victimizer of Lou. At dinner later (with Fox announcers and production staffers), we all thought it was one of our better exchanges." (Sunday, Fox spokesman Dan Bell declined to respond to any of Lyons' comments.)
Midway through that dinner, Lyons said, he got a call from Fox saying he was off Saturday's ALCS Game 4, for which he was replaced by Los Angeles Angels announcer Jose Mota, who's worked 15-20 regular-season games for Fox
Lyons said he believes people are taking a lot of liberty with what I said," and that he was making a joke that had nothing to do with race;" that it's a "real stretch" to find racism in the on-air exchange that cost him his job, "and anybody who knows me knows it was the furthest from anything racist."

Flour Bluff Youth Center hosting grand opening Saturday
CORPUS CHRISTI - When the Rock the Rail fundraiser was rained out in September, local organizations were left with funds, supplies and skate ramps gathered for the event which sought donations for a Flour Bluff skate park.
While another event is organized, the Flour Bluff Lions Club has decided to put what they've got toward a new youth center, opening Saturday at 622 Claride St.
It's a place where youths can play games after school, skate and more importantly, stay out of trouble, said Clint Buttler, Lions Club treasurer.
The youth center will have a grand opening celebration from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday featuring free food and live music.
"It's not Disney World yet but hopefully it will provide a place for kids to make good choices and have something fun to do," Buttler said while finishing work on a skate ramp.
The large white building was once a mechanic shop. The Flour Bluff Lions Club bought it as a new meeting place and decided to turn extra space into a youth center.
Parents will volunteer as chaperones, while kids play pool, air hockey, board games, or skate on several ramps. There also are plans for guitar and woodworking lessons.
Buttler's own 14-year-old son, Jensen, tried out the ramps Thursday as work was completed for the center's grand opening.
"It's a pretty cool place," Jensen said, between dropping in on the ramps and practicing his grinds.
WHAT: Flour Bluff Lions Club Youth Center grand opening
WHERE: 622 Claride Street
WHEN: 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday
COST: Free
INFORMATION: Call the Flour Bluff Lions Club at 937-6161.
The center will be open from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Monthly event also will be planned.
The center is free and accepting donations but the Lions Club plans to charge a small fee for a membership in the future.

Veterans' gun rights sticky issue in defense bill
"We consider it an abject tragedy that so many of our veterans return home, after risking life and limb to defend our freedom, only to be stripped of their Second Amendment rights because they need help managing their compensation," Chris Cox, the NRA's chief lobbyist, wrote last year in an editorial.
The NRA did not respond to queries from the AP about Coburn's latest effort.
Dan Gross, president of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said gun control advocates consider the VA's current policy reasonable.
"We're talking about people who have some form of disability to the extent that they're unable to manage their own affairs," Gross said. "If you're deemed unable to handle your own affairs, that's likely to constitute a high percentage of people who are dangerously mentally ill."
Tom Tarantino, chief policy officer for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, said veterans with a traumatic brain injury or post-traumatic stress disorder but who pose no threat to others are possibly being barred from gun ownership. The current restrictions might even be a disincentive for veterans to seek needed treatment, he said.
"We want to remove these stigmas for mental health treatment. It's a combat injury," Tarantino said. "They wouldn't be doing this if you were missing your right hand, so they shouldn't be doing it if you're seeking treatment for post-traumatic-stress-disorder or traumatic brain injury."
VA officials have told lawmakers they believe veterans deemed incompetent already have adequate protections.
For example, they said, veterans can appeal the finding of incompetency based on new evidence. And even if the VA maintains a veteran is incompetent, he can petition the agency to have his firearm rights restored on the basis of not posing a threat to public safety.

Forensic Psychology: Emerging Topics and Expanding Roles
Witt, Philip H., Journal of Psychiatry & Law
Forensic Psychology: Emerging Topics and Expanding Roles, by Alan M. Goldstein (Ed.) (Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2006), 819 pp., $150.00.
In recent decades, forensic psychology has matured as a specialty. In the early decades, most forensic psychologists were limited to psychological testing. Rarely did forensic psychologists testify in court. Rendering opinions in court was the role of the forensic psychiatrist. Then, over time, forensic psychologists began to perform evaluations in traditional criminal cases, such as insanity or competence to stand trial, regularly offering testimony in such cases. Eventually, over the past few decades, forensic psychologists expanded the range of cases in which they have become involved and the roles they have adopted. Perhaps the largest expansion has been in family law cases, including evaluations and testimony in child custody and child abuse cases, the former typically done privately and the latter usually performed for child protection agencies. In addition, psychologists now regularly perform evaluations and give testimony in tort cases, ranging from slip-and-fall cases to workplace harassment to abuse victimization. All these are what I will call "neotraditional" forensic areas, that is areas that although perhaps relatively new for psychologists are not new for our forensic predecessors, forensic psychiatrists. All these both traditional and neotraditional areas are well reviewed in Alan Goldstein's earlier edited volume Forensic Psychology: Vol. 11, Handbook of Psychology (2003).
His present edited volume. Forensic Psychology: Emerging Topics and Expanding Roles (hereafter referred to as Emerging Topics), goes beyond, ranging widely over topics infrequently covered in a review text such as this. Some of the chapters deal with familiar topics, but from an unfamiliar direction. For example, many forensic evaluations incorporate third-party information, but frequently the use of this information is taken for granted. Not in Emerging Topics. Randy Otto, Christopher Slobogin, and Stuart Greenberg devote an entire chapter to this topic, exploring ethical and admissibility issues and even providing a model for collateral interviews. Similarly, other chapters review a range of topics that are usually not directly addressed, such as:
* Paul Lipsitt reviews ethical issues specific to forensic psychology practice.
* Kirk Heilbrun and colleagues review the principles underlying forensic mental health assessment and apply these principles to a variety of evaluation types.
* A number of test specialists discuss the application of psychological tests that are commonly used in forensic cases, such as the MMPI-2, PAI, Rorschach, or neuropsychological testing.
* Richard Redding and Daniel Murrie discuss how courts make use (or not) of forensic mental health evidence.
* Susan Knight and Robert Meyer discuss forensic hypnosis. …

Graflex was a manufacturer, a brand name, and several models of cameras.

Corporate History[edit]
William F. Folmer, an inventor, co-owned the Folmer and Schwing Manufacturing Company, originally founded in New York as a gas lamp company. As the gas lamp market declined, the company expanded into other areas including bicycles and photographic equipment, leading to the release of the first Graflex camera in 1898. As the company's success grew, it chose to focus on photography and dropped its other manufacturing lines, and in 1905 was acquired by George Eastman, in 1907 becoming the Folmer Graflex Division of Eastman Kodak. After a succession of name changes, it finally became simply "Graflex, Inc." in 1945.[1] Eastman Kodak made all of the Graflex cameras in their professional equipment manufacturing plant on Clarrisa street in Rochester NY. In 1926, as a result of violations of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act (Comp. St. § 8820 et seq.) Kodak was forced to divest itself of its professional equipment division, which became Graflex Inc. This company existed under independent ownership until 1958, when the company was bought by the General Precision Equipment, which operated it as an independent division until 1968, when it was sold to the Singer Corporation, who also operated it as a division until 1973, when it was finally wrapped up and its tooling sold to the Toyo Corproation.
Graflex Cameras[edit]
From 1912 to 1973 Graflex produced large format and medium format press cameras in film formats from 2¼ × 3¼″ (6 × 9 cm) to 4 × 5″.[2] They also produced rangefinder, SLR and TLR cameras in a variety of formats ranging from 35mm to 5 × 7″.
The first of the Graflex-branded cameras, released in 1898, was the Graflex camera, also known as the Graflex Reflex, or Graflex SLR. It quickly became popular for sports and press photography in the early 20th century due to its use of a focal plane shutter. To produce shutter speeds fast enough to appear to freeze rapid motion, early Graflex cameras employed a cloth shutter with a narrow slit that quickly moved across the film plane, exposing only one small strip at any given moment in its travel. To set the shutter speed, the photographer wound the shutter spring to one of a series of calculated tensions using a key, and selected the slit width with another control. A table on the side of the box gave the shutter speed for each combination. The Graflex Reflex was also popular among early 20th Century fine art photographers, leading several lens manufacturers to design special soft-focus lenses, including the famous Wollensak's Verito, to support the camera's creative potential.
Graflex Speed Graphic folding cameras, produced from 1912 to 1973, also employed a focal plane shutter, but with somewhat simplified operation, although they have also often been used with "between-the-lens" shutters mounted to the front lens board as more typically seen on large format cameras. Like the earlier Graflex Reflex cameras that proceeded the Speed Graphic, it too became a popular press and sports camera. The so-called "top-to-bottom" motion of the focal plane shutter in the Sped Graphics exposed the upper portion of the film first (i.e., the "bottom" of the inverted image as sen on the focal plane), so many photographs of automobile racing taken with Speed Graphics depicted the wheels of cars in an oval shape leaning forward. This feature was so ubiquitous in racing photography that it came to be a conventional graphical indication for speed, influencing many cartoonists who drew wheels in this style same way to indicate fast motion.
Speed Graphics have also been used with success by many fine art photographers, as they work quite well with special un-shuttered lenses that were manufactured originally for the Graflex Reflec. Speed Graphics are still widely used by modern fine art photographers because of their unique image creation capabilities and simple, easily serviced mechanical design.
The Crown Graphic models of this same period were similar in overall design to the Speed Graphics, but omitted their focal plane shutter, allowing Crown Graphic models to be about one inch (2.5 cm) smaller and 1 pound lighter (.5 kg) Furthermore, their lack of a focal plane shutter allowed lenses to be mounted closer to the film plane, enabling the use of wider angle lenses on these models.
The Rochester Folmer plant also manufactured the Century Studio Camera, which was marketed under both the Kodak and Graflex nameplates. However because Graflex printed separate catalogs for its studio and portable offerings, many erroneously believe the Century Studios to have been manufactured elsewhere.

The company name changed several times over the years, as it was absorbed and released by the Kodak empire—finally becoming a division of the Singer Corporation. It dissolved in 1973. The Graflex plant in suburban Pittsford, New York still stands at 3750 Monroe Avenue, and was the corporate headquarters of Veramark Technologies from 1997 to 2010.[6]

Popular culture and today's usage[edit]
Also, many people believe that the Speed Graphic is only a press camera because that is how it was used in the past before 35mm and digital photography. But both the Speed Graphic and the Graflex SLR have focal plane shutters that allow usage of large un-shuttered barrel lenses. These cameras are now being used by fine art photographers to make images that cannot be matched by 4x5 view cameras, 35mm film cameras or digital cameras. As an example: a 12-inch F:3.5 lens can be fitted to Graflex 4x5 camera and used to take soft/sharp photographs with complete control of the depth of focus that no other camera can match.

South Florida Bulls vs. Cincinnati Bearcats Picks, Trends, and Preview
- Updated: October 21, 2010
South Florida Bulls
Cincinnati Bearcats
The Big East might not have the sexiest brand of football around, but don't tell that to the South Florida Bulls and Cincinnati Bearcats. Both teams are going to look to take a major step towards going to a bowl game this year on Friday night in a nationally televised college football betting affair.
The Bulls haven't scored a touchdown in almost nine full quarters of action, and it's high time that QB BJ Daniels does enough to get his team a major score. These INTs are really coming back to haunt the sophomore on the season, as he has thrown ten of them this year, nine of which came in the team's three losses. Daniels is only completing 56.0 percent of his passes for just 803 yards, and he has 190 yards on the ground. All of his averages are down from his freshman year, and he already has more INTs in six games than he did for the massive majority of last season. It's really hard to complain about the way the defense has played, though the schedule hasn't been all that tough. The only team to score more than 20 on the Bulls this year has been the Florida Gators, and a good number of those points in the Swamp came from turnovers and special teams. This unit held the great RB Noel Devine to just 29 yards on ten carries last weekend in Morgantown and hasn't allowed more than two TDs in a game since that UF loss.
The Bearcats are taking small steps right now towards getting back to the form that they were in last season when they ran the table in the regular season. Cincinnati wasn't dominating, but it did what it had to do to beat the Louisville Cardinals last week on the road as short favorites. That game was also played under the bright lights of Friday Night Football, so we aren't worried about nerves at all. It's almost as though that 31-29 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners provided a real kick start to this offense, as all of a sudden, the team has 80 points on the board in the last two weeks. QB Zach Collaros has 17 TD passes this year against just three picks, two of which came in last week's victory. However, he also had five TD passes and threw for 275 yards, numbers which HC Butch Jones would take 100% of the time. The Bearcat signal caller has averaged at least 7.6 yards per attempt in all of his games this season, and he has had five straight games with at least two TD passes and four straight with at least three.
The only questionable matchup we really see is whether Daniels can really get the Bulls on the board a few times or not. Our guess is that he'll need to generate at least 20 points to stick within this type of a number, and we tend to believe that he can't do that even though the Cincy 'D' hasn't really been much to write home about on the season. We'll run against the Bulls for our Friday night college football free pick.
NCAA Football Free Pick: Cincinnati Bearcats -8.5

Mimosa pudica (sensitive plant)

Species information
Mimosa pudica L.
sensitive plant, touch-me-not plant, humble plant, shameful plant (English); for further common names see 'What's in a name?' section below.
Not considered to be threatened.
Open waste ground within tropical vegetation in its native range.
Grown as an ornamental, its touch-sensitive leaves create interest among adults and children alike, helping to inspire interest in plant life generally. It has many traditional medicinal uses.
Contains the alkaloid mimosine (a hydroxamino acid of aromatic nature), which in large doses is toxic to humans and animals. The plant stem is armed with sharp prickles.
About this species
The sensitive plant is popular in cultivation around the world, and is enjoyed by many as a curiosity due to its highly touch-sensitive leaves.
Robert Hooke (English scientist famous for his microscopy work, 1635-1703) was one of the first people to investigate the movements of Mimosa pudica, and at that time it had been suggested that plants had nerves and tissues similar to those in animals. It was later discovered that the leaves fold as a result of the internal movement of water, and the mechanics of the process are now well-documented. A stimulus, such as touch or air movement, triggers certain areas of the stem to release chemicals, which cause water to move out of cell vacuoles and leads to cell collapse.
This rapid plant movement is thought to act as a defence against herbivores, which may be deterred by the dramatic response, or if they are small, may be dislodged as the leaves collapse.

Geography and distribution
The sensitive plant is native to tropical America, and is found as a weed throughout the tropics. It also enjoys widespread popularity as a house plant.
Overview: An annual or perennial that normally grows to 50-70 cm tall (but can be up to 1 m tall), and often takes the form of a straggling prickly sub-shrub. Its stems have sparse prickles, 2-2.5 mm long, or are sometimes bristly, or can also be almost hairless.
Leaves: The leaves are alternate, bipinnate (twice compound), do not have prickles and are very sensitive to touch. The rachis (axis of the compound leaf) is 1.5-5.5 cm long, and the pinnae (primary divisions of the compound leaf) are subdigitate (almost finger-like projections). There are 10-26 pairs of leaflets (the smallest segments of the leaf) per pinna, which are 6-15 x 1.2-3 mm and linear-oblong.
Flowers: The flowers are lilac or pink (the colour mainly the stamen filaments) and are held in ovoid, stalked heads of 1-1.3 x 0.6-1 cm. A cluster of 1-5 flower heads is borne in the leaf axil. The calyx is minute, about 0.2 mm long. The corolla is 2-2.3 mm long, and contains four stamens.
Fruits: The pods are 1.8 cm x 3-5 mm, densely bristly, clustered, and have prickles along their margins.
Like many other legumes, the sensitive plant benefits from an association with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which live within its root nodules. These bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form which the plant can make use of, and which aids its growth.
Rupert C. Barneby (accomplished legume taxonomist, 1911-2000) recognised five varieties of M. pudica. These varieties (M. pudica var hispida, var. pastoris, var. pudica, var. tetranda and var. unijuga) are found up to 1,500 m above sea level, and are distinguished from each other using aspects of the flowers and plant indumentum (hairs).
What's in a name?
Mimosa pudica was described by Carl Linnaeus (Swedish botanist and father of modern taxonomy, 1707-1778), and is the type species for the genus. The generic name Mimosa is derived from the Greek mimos (meaning mimic) in reference to the fact that the leaves move in response to something moving against them. The specific epithet is taken from the Latin word pudica, meaning bashful or shrinking to contact. The type material for M. pudica is from Brazil and is sterile (does not include any flowers or fruits). It forms part of the historical George Clifford Herbarium at the Natural History Museum, London. George Clifford was an Anglo-Dutch merchant (1685-1760) who owned an estate on which Carl Linnaeus worked from 1735 to 1737.
More common names for this species
sensitive plant, touch-me-not plant, humble plant, shameful plant (English); amourette herbe, herbe sensible, sensitive, sensitive épineus, mimosa pudique (French); vergonsoza, dormidera, ten vergüenza (Spanish); pinahuixtle, quecupatli (Nahuatl, Mexico); mori vivi (Hispaniola); honte (Haiti); dormideira (Brazil, Portuguese); Chui-Mui (Urdu); Lojjaboti (Bengali); hánxiū cǎo = shyness grass (Chinese); Nidi kumba (Sri Lanka).
Legumes and plant movement
Mimosa pudica is not the only member of the legume plant family (Leguminosae) to move in response to stimuli. More species of Mimosa show sensitivity to touch, known as seismonasty. Other legumes, for example some members of the genera Neptunia, Acacia, Albizia and Samanea, respond to a lesser degree by showing 'sleep movements' (nyctinasty) in their natural habitats. This involves the closing up of the leaves a few hours before dusk, and the re-opening of the leaves a few hours before dawn. It is thought that these 'sleep movements' aid water conservation as well as defence against herbivory.
Threats and conservation
The sensitive plant is widely distributed in the tropics, and is not considered to be threatened. Indeed, it is included in the Global Invasive Species Database as one of the world's worst invasive weeds, invading forestry plantations, croplands, orchards and pastures throughout the tropics, especially in South Asia, the Pacific Islands and some African countries. It can be especially problematic when crops are hand-cultivated, as it has prickles along its stems. Measures have been taken to eradicate it in some areas, for example in Queensland, Australia.
Mimosa pudica has been used widely in traditional medicine. Pulped leaves are used in India on glandular swellings and in the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville) the entire plant is pulped and rubbed onto people suffering pains in their body sides and kidneys. In Senegal, the leaves are used for lumbago and nephritis. All parts of the plant have been used to combat glandular tumours and uterine cancer. In India leaf-sap is applied for sinus disorders, and rubbed onto sores and piles.
- Traditional medicine
- Green manure
- Forage for cattle
In southeast Asia the sensitive plant has been used traditionally to treat sleep disorders, and in Senegal an infusion of the leaves is believed to be calming and sleep-inducing. M. pudica has also been used for treating dysentery, urinary complaints and snake-bites. Root extracts have shown anti-bacterial action, and along with the seeds are purgative and emetic. However, high doses can be toxic. There are reports that the roots can be used as an aphrodisiac. Green parts of the plant are used as an analgesic, antispasmodic, anti-asthmatic, a mild sedative and anti-depressant. Despite its wide use in traditional medicine, M. pudica is not yet used in Western medicine, as pharmaceutical companies are still researching its reported properties and potential uses.
The sensitive plant is used as a green manure, and cultivated as pasture in Fiji. In India it is used as forage for cattle, and is considered to lead to high meat and milk production. Regular grazing is necessary so that thorny stems do not develop. Despite its use as forage, trials in India and Hawaii have shown it can be toxic if fed in high quantities to cattle or horses. M. pudica is also used in some areas as ground cover to prevent soil erosion.
The sensitive plant produces mucilage (a viscous secretion) and a greenish-yellow fatty acid. The oil contains linoleic acid (51%), oleic acid (31%), palmitic and stearic acids (9% each), and traces of others; it resembles soy bean oil, potentially having similar uses.
Millennium Seed Bank: Seed storage
The Millennium Seed Bank Partnership aims to save plant life worldwide, focusing on plants under threat and those of most use in the future. Seeds are dried, packaged and stored at a sub-zero temperature in our seed bank vault.
Collections of Mimosa pudica seeds are held in Kew's Millennium Seed Bank based at Wakehurst in West Sussex.
See Kew's Seed Information Database for further information on Mimosa pudica seeds
The sensitive plant is propagated from seed in Kew's Tropical Nursery. The seed is scarified (scratched) and soaked in water overnight. The seed germinates easily, and it is often possible to see the beginnings of root growth by the next day. The compost mix used is high in organic matter, containing 10% loam, 45% coir and 45% Silvafibre, with added fertiliser.
The sensitive plant suffers from pests including red spider mite, thrips and mealy bugs. Soap sprays are not used to control pests as they cause the leaves to blacken (this is the case with many legumes).
Mimosa seeds are widely available, inexpensive and can be sown indoors all year round. Seedlings should be kept moist and exposed to bright light, and at a temperature of about 18°C. M. pudica var. hispida, which originates from southwest Mexico, is the most popularly cultivated variety.
Where to see the sensitive plant at Kew
Sensitive plant can be seen growing in Kew's Waterlily House. It is also grown behind-the-scenes in Kew's Tropical Nursery.
Kew's Economic Botany Collection includes samples of the leaves, stems and seeds of Mimosa pudica.

Gross margins increased to 30.0% from 29.4%, including an unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of 0.2% compared to the same period last year. This increase is due to higher volumes and favorable product mix partially offset by lower pricing.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.4 million compared to $11.1 million in the same period last year.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $2.2 million compared to $2.8 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to increased absorption of R&D expenses into inventory and cost of goods sold due to higher custom development activity.
Operating profit was $7.4 million compared to $5.8 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily the result of higher gross profit. EBITDA was $13.1 million, compared to $11.6 million in the same period last year.
Net interest expense was $0.5 compared to $0.6 million in the same period last year. Higher interest rates were offset by lower average debt. The average interest rate on debt was 2.4% compared to 1.8% in the same period last year.
Equity in losses of partially-owned affiliates was flat at $0.5 million compared to the same period last year for the Company's 51% share in Zenara Pharma ("Zenara"), a pharmaceutical company focused on the formulation of finished dosage form products.

Troy and Justin Dumais, brothers from Ventura, Calif., leapt off the board in perfect synchronicity but when Troy landed, his knees buckled and the rest of the dive was off.
They never miss that dive.

PHILADELPHIA - Using high-throughput sequencing to map the locations of a common type of jumping gene within a person's entire genome, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found extensive variation in these locations among the individuals they studied, further underscoring the role of these errant genes in maintaining genetic diversity.
The investigators determined that any two peoples' genomes differ at roughly 285 sites out of the 1139 sites studied. These results were found by scanning the genomes of 25 individuals, 15 of which were unrelated. They report their findings online in Genome Research.
Jumping genes also called transposons are sequences of DNA that move to different areas of the genome within the same cell.
"The significance of this work is that there is much more diversity in our genome due to insertions by this family of transposons than previously thought," said co-author Haig Kazazian, MD, Seymour Gray Professor of Molecular Medicine, in the Penn Department of Genetics. "This movement of genetic material provides the raw material of genetic evolution, and it doesn't take into account the insertions that we believe occur outside of the sperm and egg cells studied in this project."
Transposons are a source of diversity within a species' gene pool, with implications on many levels. For example, slight changes in genes help organisms adapt and survive in new environments, and populations with genetic diversity are less vulnerable to disease and problems with reproduction.
Insertions into certain spots in the genome can also cause cell function to go awry, so understanding their placement and variation in the human genome is important for a fundamental understanding of disease. Insertions can cause many genetic diseases, such as hemophilia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and may play a role in the development of cancer.
Retrotransposons are the major class of jumping genes, with the

I reviewed the other 2 sites and they all have the same plugins and the thank you page in question is set up the same way on all 3 websites including having the include box unchecked.
Again, it's just the 1 webpage on the 1 website.

Q10 or Q20, Lack of apps makes BlackBerry zero
Even if I m a hardcore BlackBerry fan of all time, it's a shame for me to tell people that I m a BlackBerry fan. Right now I m using a Q10, which performs like as somebody said, fast like a ferrari.. but what use, it's an inbuilt tragedy for every BlackBerry user for every season, that it lacks almost all the applications which ios and android offers. All the time BlackBerry played with a BBM only..and honestly saying, BBM is a joke for android users now. They all are into the latest telegram, talkray like third class apps..still not into a BBM. I donk know when the BlackBerry team will open there eyes towards the app world. Unless they provide key apps like VIBER, LINE, SUBWAY SURFERS, etc..Q10, Q20, Q50 will not help.. They all are out of the court. Laggy apk installations is not a solution either. Its a mess.
A sad and loyal BlackBerry fan.
Thank you.

What you think..did I talk rubbish or was it true?
Posted via CB10
I think that You should ask question to BlackBerry what is the target group for them. Businnes/Exlusive/Young/Parents/ETC the Group makes the market requirements. Personally I think that BlackBerry lost their business target and they're switching between groups and don't know which is most important (for bb).
I've changed device from LG L9 to Q5 and only miss for Picasa sync. For me keyboard, smooth and smart system won with Android. I've installed my bank Apk and ebay Apk.

I had installed lots of apks like viber, torrent, talkray, tubemate, telegram, etc etc.... those are better to have rather than getting nothing..but as for usage, all are super Laggy.. but BlackBerry users can say, they possess all the apps from playstore...and it acts like dual os blah blah...what a pity.
Posted via CB10
So You are "installer" type, I'm not. For me BlackBerry os is the one I've been looking for - don't need to use so many apps, socials etc.
Android has one big positive (comparing to others) - totally customizable after root. I don't care about milions of apps. So as I wrote before: for group of people kind like me BlackBerry is the best choice. If You are looking for rich app store go to Android or iOS. BlackBerry allow to install apks, I've installed 3 apks so far and they work very well: bank Apk, ebay Apk and sound generator Apk. I'm Just different user type than You. OS is for all and BlackBerry covers my requirements very well.

If you read my post, you can see What I mentioned in it that I m a hardcore BlackBerry fan. Just because of its trademark keyboard and much more secure and fluid os. I don't want to loose it for apps as I already have an additional android phone as well. What I m trying to say is nowadays everyone looking for apps..atleast for key apps..for example, hangouts..its a very necessary app for lot of people..but if you look into the google talk in BlackBerry, it's the one which is from where it is started. Name is google talk, and no talk in it. Only chat with 8 to 10 smileys. Systems like that should be changed. And that should be the first step, so that atleast they can stand bold and ask, why....

I reject the premise of this thread. There are many good applications available for BlackBerry and BB10 in particular. If what's there isn't enough for you, well, take full advantage of that Android runtime. I do! For instance, Netflix runs like butter on my Z10 under 10.2.1. So what if it's a port? It works and I'm not missing out.
I get that not everyone wants to sideload Snap or download the Amazon Appstore, since there are many Android apps not in BlackBerry World. But you know what? It's not that difficult to install Snap or Amazon, and if you really want apps, then do it and help yourself. BB provides the runtime, and with 10.2.1, there's no need to do conversions to .bar anymore.
Furthermore, applications aren't everything. For me, the most important attributes in a smartphone are security/privacy, the quality of the *phone* itself, and the messaging capabilities. BlackBerry 10 excels at all of these and I am proud to be a BB user and enthusiast.

I am also a hardcore blackberry user. And I have al of the OS's. (Iphone 5, S4, HTC One and the BlackBerry Q10).
On my iPhone I have a lot of apps but ones I use them several time's and than I will stop using them.
The hardcore apps I use are:
* Twitter
* Instagram
* Weather apps
* TV guide
* Whatsapp
* Toodledo apps
* Agenda
As you can see all of the apps are available on the different OS's and still I prefer my blackberry!
Why? Not because I can use the apps above but because of the OS.
The HUB is in my option one of the best invention Blackberry have made. All the alerts in one place no need to open the apps to read your messages.
If people want apps the have to go to the other os's.
For me it is harder to be productive on Android and IOS ( I get 150-200 email's a day (just the one I have reply to)).

WALLA WALLA -- For 40 years talented students and skilled instructors have been gathering each summer to learn and practice the art of dance in what is now known as the Summer Dance Lab at Whitman College.
This year in honor of the 40th anniversary of Summer Dance Lab the Eugene Ballet will join some of the five week students on stage at Cordiner Hall for the performance of "Scheherazade." The fairy tale dance will began at 7 p.m. on Friday July 23.
To purchase tickets to this live performance visit the Whitman College Bookstore or Earthlight books. Adults tickets are $15 and senior and student tickets are $10.
The Summer Dance Lab is an intensive training for dance students to become experienced in the areas of ballet, modern dance, jazz and American theater. The purpose of the training is to create pre-professional dancers. The program has three options for dancers: two, three and five week trainings. While the dancers are in Walla Walla for their training they stay on the Whitman College campus.
The dancers' schedules reflect that of professional dancers. Their days begin at 9 a.m. with two hours of ballet training. Next, the students take one hour of either pointe class or men's class before their break for lunch. After lunch, they take two 1 1/2-hour classes of modern dance and either jazz or American theater. Following a break for dinner, dancers attend elective classes in other areas of dance or rehearsals for upcoming performances. All together, each dancer spends a minimum of six hours dancing each day, not counting their individual practice in preparation for the next day.
For those students in the five week program there is more work to be done after their elective classes. Each student in this advanced program is expected to take notes on the choreography learned that day and spend time practicing the steps. Each step learned is expected to be learned by the following day of class, meaning practice time for the students in their down time.
The full faculty for the Summer Dance Lab includes John Passafiume, Denise Dabrowski, Jennifer Martin, Lisa Bostwick, Allison Keppel, Lydia Tetzlaff and Stas Kmiec.
Though there are many similar summer dance programs throughout the country, this program stands alone in a few areas. Each instructor within the program is professionally trained in different areas of dance. Also, this program, unlike others, is not affiliated with a larger company controlling the curriculum. Instead, the instructors have complete control of the class work, allowing them to cater lessons to the skills and needs of each individual dancer.
"Every dancer is unique, every dancer is special," said Tetzlaff. "We can help steer them in the way of their talents."
"The training is to make artists, not just make bodies move," Dabrowski said.
Making artists requires individual attention to each dancer, something Dabrowski does each class period.
"We have a holist and healthy approach to dance," Tetzlaff said.
This healthy approach is what keeps students returning each year. This year 70 dancers have come to the training in hopes of improving their skills. The students range from 12 to 18 years old and are all current students of dance in their home towns.
Passafiume, a modern dancer from New York, has directed the program since 2003. Passafiume said the program is evolving and will continue to grow into something more. Coming to Walla Walla for Summer Dance Lab is something both the dancers and instructors look forward to all year, Passafiume said.
Jackie Wood, a piano teacher at Whitman College and one of the pianists for the Summer Dance Lab each year, applauds the instructors. Their individual attention, sense of humor and creative approach makes them exceptional teachers, said Wood.
"The quality of the teaching is so high," she said. "The teachers are so dedicated to their art."

For Alan Evans, cutting hair just comes naturally.
"I started cutting hair when I was 13 years old," he said. "I started cutting hair in my mom's kitchen."
Evans said he was inspired to cut hair after an unpleasant experience in a barber's chair left him with bad hair cut. He began observing a man his cousin, Donna Jones, was dating at the time.

YIELD: Makes 8 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 25 min
TOTAL TIME: 3 1/2 hr (includes cooling)
Make pound cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Butter and flour a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan.
Whisk together flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt.
Scrape seeds from vanilla bean with tip of a paring knife into a bowl, then add butter and sugar and beat with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. At low speed, add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with half-and-half, beginning and ending with flour, and mixing until just incorporated.
Spoon batter into loaf pan, smoothing top.
Bake until golden-brown and a wooden pick inserted into center comes out with crumbs adhering, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Cool in pan 30 minutes. Run a knife around edge of cake to loosen, then invert cake onto a rack. Cool completely, right side up.
Make Compote:
Stir together fruit, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon zest, and lemon juice in a heavy medium saucepan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until fruit begins to fall apart and liquid is slightly syrupy, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon zest, nutmeg, and more sugar if desired. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Cooks' notes:
Pound cake can be baked 3 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
Compote can be made 1 day ahead and chilled.

Web & Mobile Development
These days, it takes a high degree of discipline to develop websites that serve your content across tons of devices and platforms and browsers. Developing usable sites both for the site's owner and the end user has been a focus of mine for over 5 years.
Print & Digital Media
The more they claim print is dead, the more powerful of a communication tool it can become… especially when executed with purposeful intention. I tend to design high intensity pieces that visually 'caffeinate' familiar concepts.
Brand Building
Developing your company or brand's visual identity is the first step in making a great impression . Conveying your values to the world with integrity and clarity matter. Brand development is an essential tool in generating interest and forming meaningful, long lasting relationships with clients.
About Me
My name is Andrew, I'm a graphic artist, photographer, illustrator, and web developer living in South Bend, Indiana.
I work with businesses that are both local and nationally offering identity, design, illustration, and web development. I'm absolutely in love with the design process: from the initial experimentation to the final product.
Design is a series of experiments intended to expedite failure. With each sub sequential irritation of work, we get closer to the end goal of communicating with intentionality, and authenticity our mission and message to our audience of choice.
Whether your project is small scale, or massive, or even just minor corrections or a rebuild from lost files, I have the tools and experience to meet most of the needs you could throw in my direction.
Here what some of my previous clients had to say.
Kimberly Dotseth
"It was great to work with Kirksey, whose artist vision really soared after he read my basic idea to include a house, a porch and stars in my new logo contest. He changed up his houses and style so dramatically as we went along, and so perfectly, that I knew he was a true star. There were a lot of WOW moments viewing his work as it evolved. Thank you for the bold colors, clean space, moody and brillant sky (love that!), and for conveying all I was trying to say. I will enjoy this work a lot. "
Nazareth Rizkallah
"I've used the services of Andrew Kirksey for my company. He designed my website and mobile site as well. He also handled finding the hosting company, transferring the data and other things I don't understand.
I highly recommend him for your business. Andrew is courteous, onetime and an expert in what he does. I will use him for my next project."

Concerns with Influencing Your Kids towards Street Bikes?

Joined: Oct 2007

Regarding safety decisions and not trying to over protect kids. I totally get that. We engage in all kinds of potentially dangerous activities as a family and they are given a good bit of freedom. It's really a question of where we draw those lines and I was wondering if others here have dealt with the same issues.
I used to be in a business where we had to use some of these facts. Here is a close estimate of the facts from memory:
Car crashes are the number 1 cause of fatalities among teens to early 20's. If I recall correctly - More than all the other causes combined. In the first year of driving a car, a driver has a 50% probability of being in a crash of some sort. (Yes, 50%!) During the teen years, there is a 3X greater chance of being in a crash or fatality vs. all other years of drivers combined.
While driving a motorcycle, statistically speaking, you are 16 - 36 times more likely to die in a crash vs. driving a car, depending on the data you are looking at. So, if you put those two groups of statistics together, the risk rates are very high. Not trying to be an alarmist, but these are the facts.
I fully realize that we can't insulate them, and they will eventually make their own decisions. But, in many cases, we can influence them. Right now, I'm 50/50 on which direction to take with the issue.
Thoughts on the subject appreciated.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Facing the possibility of supplemental discipline, Columbus Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky will have a hearing with the NHL on Wednesday. The development, first reported by the Columbus Dispatch, is a result of his hit on Kings defenseman Rob Scuderi in Tuesday night's game. Dubinsky received a five-minute major for boarding and automatic game misconduct. Scuderi told The Times after the game that he felt it was kind of "open season" on some defensemen. But he declined to say if Dubinsky deserved additional discipline for the hit. "That's not my decision," Scuderi said. "That's the league's decision, and it's in their hands." The league confirmed a hearing will take place, and said, via email, that it would be Wednesday afternoon.

Ancient biographies could open with the subject's public vocation, as in Mark, but often began by rehearsing the background of the central character. Such background might include a noble or prominent ancestry (Mt 1:1-17), virtuous parents (1:18-25), childhood background that introduced themes relevant to the subject's later public activity (2:1-23), the attestation of others to the person's character (3:1-17), including that of the person's adherents (4:18-25), and qualifying tests through which the person's character was proved (4:1-11). Such introductory comments set the tone for the whole of the work that would follow.
