VirHostNet release 2.0 (http://virhostnet.prabi.fr) is a knowledgebase dedicated to the network-based exploration of virus–host protein–protein interactions. Since the previous VirhostNet release (2009), a second run of manual curation was performed to annotate the new torrent of high-throughput protein–protein interactions data from the literature. This resource is shared publicly, in PSI-MI TAB 2.5 format, using a PSICQUIC web service. The new interface of VirHostNet 2.0 is based on Cytoscape web library and provides a user-friendly access to the most complete and accurate resource of virus–virus and virus–host protein–protein interactions as well as their projection onto their corresponding host cell protein interaction networks. We hope that the VirHostNet 2.0 system will facilitate systems biology and gene-centered analysis of infectious diseases and will help to identify new molecular targets for antiviral drugs design. This resource will also continue to help worldwide scientists to improve our knowledge on molecular mechanisms involved in the antiviral response mediated by the cell and in the viral strategies selected by viruses to hijack the host immune system.
Transmembrane proteins (TMPs) are the key components of signal transduction, cell-cell adhesion and energy and material transport into and out from the cells. For the deep understanding of these processes, structure determination of transmembrane proteins is indispensable. However, due to technical difficulties, only a few transmembrane protein structures have been determined experimentally. Large-scale genomic sequencing provides increasing amounts of sequence information on the proteins and whole proteomes of living organisms resulting in the challenge of bioinformatics; how the structural information should be gained from a sequence.
The human immune response to influenza vaccination depends in part on preexisting cross-reactive (heterosubtypic) immunity from previous infection by, and/or vaccination with, influenza strains that share antigenic determinants with the vaccine strains. However, current methods for assessing heterosubtypic antibody responses against influenza, including the hemagglutination-inhibition (HAI) assay and ELISA, are time and labor intensive, and require moderate amounts of serum and reagents. To add
Summary: A genetic variant can be represented in the Variant Call Format (VCF) in multiple different ways. Inconsistent representation of variants between variant callers and analyses will magnify discrepancies between them and complicate variant filtering and duplicate removal. We present a software tool vt normalize that normalizes representation of genetic variants in the VCF. We formally define variant normalization as the consistent representation of genetic variants in an unambiguous and concise way and derive a simple general algorithm to enforce it. We demonstrate the inconsistent representation of variants across existing sequence analysis tools and show that our tool facilitates integration of diverse variant types and call sets.
Author Summary Human influenza virus commonly causes disease in the winter months of temperate countries, but exhibits more complex patterns in tropical localities. Most studies of this complex seasonality have only considered viruses sampled within the "normal" influenza season. To help reveal the drivers of influenza seasonality we utilized viruses sampled outside of the normal influenza season, focusing on Australia which is characterized by a wide range of climates. Using a phylogenetic a
Nice piece of work: helps reinforce the notion that influenza doesn't actually go away, especially in tropical and subtropical areas!
In this issue of PLOS Pathogens, we are introducing a new front matter series to allow individual scientists from the many fields that encompass our community of editors, authors, and readers to comment on why the fundamental research in their labs, and that of their collaborators, matters. The genesis of this idea comes from the apparent gulf between working scientists and the general public that seems to be growing ever wider. In particular, there seems to be an expanding gap between what basic researchers and scientists try to accomplish in terms of scientific advancement, and what nonscientists, such as the lay public and the political world, perceive to be accomplished. This diminishes the deliverables expected as a result of funding basic research, the overall value of science to society, and the rational control of scientific funding. We seek this new Research Matters format for individual scientists to "say" in public how diverse fundamental research into pathogens assures real and compelling impact on public health, human knowledge, and life. Our goal is to evolve a forum for active scientists to speak directly, without filters or publicity agents, about why basic research in their field matters. Over time, we hope to develop a collective voice for our community while still preserving the authentic nature of the individual perspective.
Great idea.
The origin and evolution of viruses remain mysterious. Here, we focus on the distribution of viral replicons in host organisms, their morphological features, and the evolution of highly conserved protein and nucleic acid structures. The apparent inability of RNA viral replicons to infect contemporary akaryotic species suggests an early origin of RNA viruses and their subsequent loss in akaryotes. A census of virion morphotypes reveals that advanced forms were unique to viruses infecting a specific supergroup, while simpler forms were observed in viruses infecting organisms in all forms of cellular life. Results hint toward an ancient origin of viruses from an ancestral virus harboring either filamentous or spherical virions. Finally, phylogenetic trees built from protein domain and tRNA structures in thousands of genomes suggest that viruses evolved via reductive evolution from ancient cells. The analysis presents a complete account of the evolutionary history of cells and viruses and identifies viruses as crucial agents influencing cellular evolution
Eradication of smallpox and discontinuation of the vaccination campaign resulted in an increase in the percentage of unvaccinated individuals, highlighting the need for postexposure efficient countermeasures in case of accidental or deliberate viral release. Intranasal infection of mice with ectromelia virus (ECTV), a model for human smallpox, is curable by vaccination with a high vaccine dose given up to 3 days postexposure. To further extend this protective window and to reduce morbidity, mic
Poultry disease is an international issue, especially when there is an outbreak close to home. However, it's a particularly costly problem in developing countries.
Developing animals resistant to disease may be one of the long-term solutions. University of Georgia researchers in the Regenerative Bioscience Center have spent the last four years gathering data that could make the process a reality.
The team, which includes Steven Stice and Franklin West in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and Claudio Afonso at the Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service, used a technology platform called shRNA—single strands of RNA that fold back on themselves—to selectively stop the production of nucleic acids that cause disease, such as the Newcastle disease virus.
Genetically engineering livestock!! It's going to happen, people: if we want to eat them, then why shouldn't we engineer tham?
There are four closely-related dengue virus (DENV) serotypes. Infection with one serotype generates antibodies that may cross-react and enhance infection with other serotypes in a secondary infection. We demonstrated that DENV serotype 2 (DENV2)–specific human monoclonal antibody (HMAb) 2D22 is therapeutic in a mouse model of antibody-enhanced severe dengue disease. We determined the cryo–electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of HMAb 2D22 complexed with two different DENV2 strains. HMAb 2D22 binds across viral envelope (E) proteins in the dimeric structure, which probably blocks the E protein reorganization required for virus fusion. HMAb 2D22 "locks" two-thirds of or all dimers on the virus surface, depending on the strain, but neutralizes these DENV2 strains with equal potency. The epitope defined by HMAb 2D22 is a potential target for vaccines and therapeutics.
Sigh...it's ALWAYS going to help make vaccines, or be a major breakthrough, or enable therapy. Be nice if it does, but I'm not holding my breath.
We studied the dynamics of the proteome of influenza virus A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) infected Madin-Darby canine kidney cells up to 12 hours post infection by mass spectrometry based quantitative proteomics using the approach of stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC). We identified 1311 cell proteins and, apart from the proton channel M2, all major virus proteins. Based on their abundance two groups of virus proteins could be distinguished being in line with the function of the proteins in genesis and formation of new virions. Further, the data indicate a correlation between the amount of proteins synthesized and their previously determined copy number inside the viral particle. We employed bioinformatic approaches such as functional clustering, gene ontology, and pathway (KEGG) enrichment tests to uncover co-regulated cellular protein sets, assigned the individual subsets to their biological function, and determined their interrelation within the progression of viral infection. For the first time we are able to describe dynamic changes of the cellular and, of note, the viral proteome in a time dependent manner simultaneously. Through cluster analysis, time dependent patterns of protein abundances revealed highly dynamic up- and/or down-regulation processes. Taken together our study provides strong evidence that virus infection has a major impact on the cell status at the protein level.
Motivation: In vitro and in vivo selection of vaccines is time consuming, expensive and the selected vaccines may not be able to provide protection against broad-spectrum viruses because of emerging antigenically novel disease strains. A powerful computational model that incorporates these protein/DNA or RNA level fluctuations can effectively predict antigenically variant strains, and can minimize the amount of resources spent on exclusive serological testing of vaccines and make wide spectrum vaccines possible for many diseases. However, in silico vaccine prediction remains a grand challenge. To address the challenge, we investigate the use of linear and non-linear regression models to predict the antigenic similarity in foot-and-mouth disease virus strains and in influenza strains, where the structure and parameters of the non-linear model are optimized using an evolutionary algorithm (EA). In addition, we examine two different scoring methods for weighting the type of amino acid substitutions in the linear and non-linear models. We also test our models with some unseen data.
Results: We achieved the best prediction results on three datasets of SAT2 (Foot-and-Mouth disease), two datasets of serotype A (Foot-and-Mouth disease) and two datasets of influenza when the scoring method based on biochemical properties of amino acids is employed in combination with a non-linear regression model. Models based on substitutions in the antigenic areas performed better than those that took the entire exposed viral capsid proteins. A majority of the non-linear regression models optimized with the EA performed better than the linear and non-linear models whose parameters are estimated using the least-squares method. In addition, for the best models, optimized non-linear regression models consist of more terms than their linear counterparts, implying a non-linear nature of influences of amino acid substitutions. Our models were also tested on five recently generated FMDV datasets and the best model was able to achieve an 80% agreement rate.
Increasing evidence reveals that diverse non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play critically important roles in viral infection. Viruses can use diverse ncRNAs to manipulate both cellular and viral gene expression to establish a host environment conducive to the completion of the viral life cycle. Many host cellular ncRNAs can also directly or indirectly influence viral replication and even target virus genomes. ViRBase (http://www.rna-society.org/virbase) aims to provide the scientific community with a resource for efficient browsing and visualization of virus-host ncRNA-associated interactions and interaction networks in viral infection. The current version of ViRBase documents more than 12 000 viral and cellular ncRNA-associated virus–virus, virus–host, host–virus and host–host interactions involving more than 460 non-redundant ncRNAs and 4400 protein-coding genes from between more than 60 viruses and 20 hosts. Users can query, browse and manipulate these virus–host ncRNA-associated interactions. ViRBase will be of help in uncovering the generic organizing principles of cellular virus–host ncRNA-associated interaction networks in viral infection.
Viral pathogenesis studies in mice have relied on markers of severe systemic disease, rather than clinically relevant measures, to evaluate respiratory virus infection; thus confounding connections to human disease. Here, whole-body plethysmography was used to directly measure changes in pulmonary function during two respiratory viral infections. This methodology closely tracked with traditional pathogenesis metrics, distinguished both virus- and dose-specific responses, and identified long-ter
Motivation: The evolution of proteins cannot be fully understood without taking into account the coevolutionary linkages entangling them. From a practical point of view, coevolution between protein families has been used as a way of detecting protein interactions and functional relationships from genomic information. The most common approach to inferring protein coevolution involves the quantification of phylogenetic tree similarity using a family of methodologies termed mirrortree. In spite of their success, a fundamental problem of these approaches is the lack of an adequate statistical framework to assess the significance of a given coevolutionary score (tree similarity). As a consequence, a number of ad hoc filters and arbitrary thresholds are required in an attempt to obtain a final set of confident coevolutionary signals.
EpiToolKit is a virtual workbench for immunological questions with a focus on vaccine design. It offers an array of immunoinformatics tools covering MHC genotyping, epitope and neo-epitope prediction, epitope selection for vaccine design, and epitope assembly. In its recently re-implemented version 2.0, EpiToolKit provides a range of new functionality and for the first time allows combining tools into complex workflows. For inexperienced users it offers simplified interfaces to guide the users through the analysis of complex immunological data sets.
The first discovery, made with Alexandra Lucas, revealed that some anti-host viral proteins were powerful inhibitors of the host immune responses to the virus. These viral proteins could be purified individually and used as drugs to inhibit the same immune cells when they become hyper-activated during inflammatory diseases like atherosclerosis. This led to the formation of a new startup biotech company (Viron Therapeutics), and introduced me into the world of applied translational research and clinical trials. Although it is still not a given that viral proteins will end up being approved and licensed for clinical use, I am now an advocate of virus-derived proteins as a new source of drugs to treat immune-based diseases that have no known connection with viruses.
The second discovery, beginning about a decade ago, occurred when we discovered that myxoma virus also grows in many classes of human cancer cells, but not in normal tissues (unless you are a rabbit). In fact, when my longtime collaborator Peter Forsyth injected it into human gliomas transplanted into the brains of test immunodeficient mice, the virus grew selectively within the transplanted human brain tumors just like it does in the internal tissues of myxoma-infected rabbits! Since it is totally nonpathogenic for humans, this discovery has convinced us to develop myxoma virus as a new potential therapeutic for a variety of human cancers. I have now formed a partnership with a biotech company that specializes in virotherapy for cancer (DNAtrix), and our first clinical trial goal will be to improve the outcomes for cancer patients receiving bone marrow transplants. I am very excited about this new approach against cancer in general, but only time will tell whether using live oncolytic viruses to treat cancer will become a licensed clinical tool for oncologists in the future.

Therefore identifying factors, which regulate the transition through the premalignant phases and onto invasive cancer would be of importance clinically, to identify patients at risk of progressing from CIN I to CIN III.

The season opener in Brooklyn between the Nets and Knicks is apparently a big deal. So big of a deal that ticket prices have soared to an average of $800.87 on StubHub and other ticket websites. But that $800 price tag only gets you in the door. If you want the best seats, namely courtside seats, those are going to cost you quite a grip. And when we say "quite a grip", we mean about $8,100. Tickets to the Nets' first regular-season game at the new Barclays Center against the crosstown rival Knicks are commanding an average of $800.87 a pop on StubHub and other secondary-market sites. The $800.87 average game-day price is already up 18.59 percent from $675.31 on Oct. 1, and it's six times higher than what an average Nets ticket runs at face value, $132. The Nets-Knicks game is running as high as $8,100 for courtside seats normally priced for $1,500, and the cheapest seats were selling for $217. $800 just to get in? $8,100 for courtside seats? Just to watch the Knicks and the Nets? W...

Right To Work Laws Empower Employees
In Liberal World, having the choice to abort a baby is a good thing. Having the choice to pay union dues? That's tantamount to heresy and the End Of Life As We Know It. James Sherk explains that liberals should take a deep breath
(US News And World Report) Right-to-work laws benefit both nonunion and union workers as well as the unemployed. Without right-to-work, unions negotiate contracts requiring employers to fire workers who don't pay union dues. Employees must pay the union $500 to $1,000 a year or lose their job.
Workers have the right to unionize if they choose. But if workers don't support a union, the law shouldn't force them to pay dues.
Right-to-work puts employees in the driver's seat: They pay only if they see value from the union's services. This accountability prevents unions from presuming workers' support. In the long run, right-to-work makes them more effective representatives.
And if they see no value in the union, they shouldn't be forced to pay dues. The stated purpose of unions is to protect workers and represent them. But, unions, especially public sector unions, seem to spend most of their time strong arming companies and especially the government, wringing massive, unfordable concessions, and lobbying for more Democrats to be elected in order to get even more concessions out of government, all while spending tons of union dues on supporting Democrats. This is an incestuous relationship, which would be termed a conflict of interest out in the private sector. And the taxpayers are the ones on the hook.
Do unions serve a purpose? Yes, when they are dealing with their proper mission, which is protecting the workers. As someone who previously worked for a big, big company in which a union was present, said union was mostly helpful. It didn't necessarily protect the worker from the company, but from crummy bosses. I could mention a few times where bargained employees were able to use the union to protect themselves, as they were not comfortable going to HR, as they knew damned well that they would be subject to very subtle retaliation. In fact, one of the cases revolved around a worker at another store using the union after first going to HR, because there was subtle retaliation from a higher ranking company official. Hell, as a non-bargained employee (management) I would have liked the same protection at times. I even called the union rep one time to ask them to have a talk with an employee who was getting close to termination for attendance issues but was tuning me out. Didn't listen to the rep, either.
Unions have a place when they are realistic. Unfortunately, they also go way, way too far. Especially with public sector negotiations. However
Unions respond by arguing that right-to-work allows nonunion employees to "freeload." They argue the law shouldn't force them to represent employees who don't pay dues. It's a powerful argument, but rests on a false premise.
The National Labor Relations Act permits–but doesn't mandate–unions to represent every worker at a company. If unions do so, the law requires them to represent nonunion employees fairly. However, as Justice William Brennan wrote a half-century ago, "'Members only' contracts have long been recognized" by the Supreme Court. Unions voluntarily represent nonunion workers. That hardly justifies forcing them to pay dues.
First off, they make the choice to represent only bargained employees. As management level, I couldn't have gone to them (bummer). But, they can choose to not represent those who do not pay dues. And, in my opinion, if someone chooses to not pay dues, then the union should not represent them. Perhaps they could come up with a "pay for play" scheme for those who do not pay dues. Either way, no pay, no representation. Perhaps this would also give employees the power to negotiate for their own pay, and receive raises according to their own work, rather than a pay scale. There were numerous times when I was giving the same pay raise to a person rated as a 1 as a worker rated a 5 (on a scale of 0-5). Prior to the union, the former would have gotten a 1% raise, the latter a 5% raise.
Either way, the big issue is the public sector workers, which put the US taxpayer on the hook for unsustainable and out of control pay and benefits.

Day 1 is in the books. The three of us are sitting in a hotel in White Haven, Penna. to ride out an overnight storm. We did almost 300 miles today, all on 2 lane blacktop. We're trying to get down to Front Royal in a reasonably quick time without relying on the interstate highway system.
Highs and lows for the day would be riding through the Delaware Water Gap and getting stuck in miles of stop and go traffic on Route 209 in PA.
We're trying to figure out a theme for this trip and hoping that one becomes obvious as we ride. The closest thing to that today was "The Walking Dead" tour. We passed so many towns that were in decline, with their industries gone, their busineses shuttered and the people that were left walking around, looking lost.
I only have a couple of pictures so far as the hotel's computer is extremely slow to upload.
We started the day at Mrs. Murphy's Donuts in Southwick, Mass.
A random stop on the road. Hot day today! It only gets better from here.
The plan tomorrow is to visit Centralia, PA (the town abandoned due to an underground coal fire still burning) and get to Front Royal.

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone says that Holi is one of her favourite festivals and she remembers the time when she was a kid and played colours with friends.
"Holi has been one of my favorite festivals since childhood. Playing Holi with my friends from my building after coming back from school is one of my favorite childhood Holi memories. Preparations for the festival would start at least a week before," Deepika told IANS.
The actress, who delivered four back-to-back hits "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani", "Chennai Express", "Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela" and "Race 2" in 2013, is currently shooting for "Happy New Year".
She is looking forward to celebrate the festival with the cast of the film this year.
"This year I will be shooting for my film 'Happy New Year'. It's a fun bunch and I'm sure celebrating Holi on the set will be a lot of fun," she said.
Deepika, who is known for her beautiful skin, also keeps a check on her beauty regime around Holi.
"During Holi, I am concerned about my hair the most. Applying a coconut based hair oil acts as a protective layer for my hair against the colours and the summer heat. I tie my hair in a side braid or a messy pony tail. Also I make sure to keep myself hydrated," said the actress.
"Playing Holi can be exhausting. When I return home, I like to pamper myself with a coconut based hair oil massage and a cup of hot coffee," she added.

The Gallery of the Common Experience, located in LAMP 407 (the Honors Coffee Forum), has showcased exhibits ranging from a photo documentary on the struggle against apartheid in South Africa and the onset of HIV to political cartoons of President Lyndon Baines Johnson. The gallery also hosts special events throughout the year, including free art workshops, artist talks and public art events on the Quad.
The gallery is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday. Admission is free.
Sponsored by the Honors College and the Common Experience at Texas State University, the gallery is maintained by curator Krys Nelson and a campus-wide committee of dedicated art lovers. For more information or to become involved with the committee, e-mail email@example.com or call 512.245.2266. You can also follow the Gallery of the Common Experience on Facebook.
Caitlin G. McCollom will be visiting the Honors College to speak about her work as an independent artist, critic and curator. She will share insights and tips from her own experiences launching an interdisciplinary career in the arts.
Students, faculty, staff and members of the public are welcome to attend this free talk, which will be held from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Friday, April 17, 2015, in room 501 of the Lampasas Building. RSVP by emailing email@example.com.
About the speaker: McCollom earned a BFA in painting at Texas State in 2010, and ran Red Space Gallery in Austin from 2011-2013. She writes reviews for Glasstire, and exhibits her artwork throughout the state. Pump Project in Austin is hosting a solo show of her work through May 9.
The Declaration of Independence, which formally separated the American colonies from Great Britain, provided justification for the formation of a new government and established principles for its rule.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
For this exhibition, the student-curators of the Gallery of the Common Experience selected works that address both the met and unmet goals of democracy after 238 years in America. Photographs in the conference room depict steps toward the goal of racial equality in the United States and South Africa.
We've designed this exhibition to raise several questions: What makes democracy work? What responsibilities do democratic citizens owe each other? What goals must our democracy meet to ensure parity of justice for all members of society?
Works on display represent public-domain collections from the Library of Congress, the U.S. National Archives, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Rijksmuseum. Original works by Susan Winters Cook, Debangana Banerjee and Darin Wood are also included.
For additional information, email the curator, Billi London-Gray, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This exhibition is part of Texas State University's 2014-15 Common Experience theme, "Exploring Democracy's Promise: From Segregation to Integration," and is sponsored by the Common Experience and the Honors College.
The Gallery of the Common Experience presents its fall 2014 exhibition with an opening reception on Thursday, September 4, from 5-7 p.m. Works selected for this exhibition address the question, "What does integration look like to you?" Admittance to the gallery is always free and open to the public.
We are pleased to present work by local, national and international artists, including Glenda Adkinson, Debangana Banerjee, Susan Winters Cook, Cynthia I. Gonzales, Daniel Bernard Gray, Matt Herron, Billi London-Gray, Beth Consetta Rubel and Ryan Runcie. The exhibition will be on display through December 10, 2014.
The overall goal of this collection – ranging from black and white photographs of historic civil rights events to new work by artists addressing colorism, racism, racial identity and tolerance – is to create a dialog between the artworks and viewers about integration and the many ways people view it. What is integration? What aspects of difference are parts of integration and are they as important or meaningful as racial difference? Does integration benefit everyone? Is integration progressing? What's the effect of integration on your life? The gallery's location in the Honors Coffee Forum provides an ideal environment for civil discussions about these important questions.

The Gallery of the Common Experience and the Honors Learning Community hosted the second Campus Canvas event on Thursday, October 23, 2014, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Quad. The resulting campus-wide collaborative diptych is currently on display on the 4th floor of the Lampasas Building, alongside the first Campus Canvas diptych. Hundreds of Texas State students, faculty and staff created these large paintings, expressive of the diversity of ideas and talents within our community. Stop by and check them out for inspiration!
For information, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Keep making art, Bobcats!
The Gallery of the Common Experience presents its spring 2014 exhibition, Face Forward: Portraits of Emotional Exposure, starting January 13, 2014. The exhibition, designed to explore the Common Experience theme of mental health and illness, features emotionally descriptive and evocative portraiture by artists from around the state, including several Texas State students and alumni.
Additionally, the exhibition includes a survey of the work of David Francis Drymala, a San Marcos artist and musician. Drymala is the subject of the upcoming documentary A Deeper Side, which will share his journey through life as a gifted artist affected by mental illness.
Please join us in the gallery on Thursday, January 30, from 5-7 p.m. for a public reception with the artists.

The Oakland Athletics have obtained catcher George Kottaras from the Milwaukee Brewers in a trade for minor league reliever Fautino De Los Santos. The deal was announced Sunday, shortly before the Athletics faced the Orioles in the finale of a three-game series. The 29-year-old Kottaras will join the A's in Oakland on Monday. Kottaras hit .209 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 58 games with Milwaukee this season. He was designated for assignment on Thursday to make room for catcher Jonathan Lucroy. De Los Santos spent most of the year at Triple-A Sacramento, where he was 1-3 with a 7.25 ERA in 28 relief appearances. The right-hander began the season on Oakland's opening day roster and had a 3.00 ERA in six games before being optioned on April 24.

If there is a vertical/horizontal focus discrepancy I suspect that something might be wrong with your camera (I can't be sure since I have only used Leica cameras and they might work differently – although I doubt this). If I remember correctly you bought this camera recently and it should be under warranty. Have someone look at it.

Originally written on The Cardinal Connect | Last updated 1/9/13
The next two weekends are shaping up to be huge for Louisville football recruiting. Jermaine Grace, a 6-foot-2 195-pound outside linebacker from Miramar, FL., is one of the many prospects that is expected to visit Louisville in the month of January. Miami is the leader for Grace at this point, but Charlie Strong and the Louisville program aren't too far behind. ESPN & Rivals both rate Grace as a 4-star prospect. He has offers from a number of schools, but is reportedly down to Miami, Louisville, Texas A&M, Tennessee and Florida. Louisville loaded up at the linebacker position in the 2012 class, but Grace is the type of prospect that Charlie Strong would welcome with open arms. The Florida native was named a Semper Fi All-American. At this point it sounds like he'll either be a Cardinal or a Cane.

Feeling the financial pinch of Audrey not working, Jeff loses his cool after being bombarded by co-workers requesting donations for various occasions and charities. In a very uncomfortable outburst during an office birthday party, Jeff declares he is no longer donating money for any cause. Later at the diner, Audrey announces that she is participating in a charity fun run and would like Jeff to get donations at the office. Refusing to admit to Audrey what he has done, Jeff fills out the sponsorship sheet using the names of his coworkers planning to just pay the total himself. However, when Timmy points out that the pledges are per kilometer Jeff realizes he is now responsible for $1500, not $150. Not wanting to pay the money and still refusing to tell Audrey, Jeff decides to sabotage her by slipping her a sleeping pill so she will miss the race. Audrey proceeds to take a sleeping pill on her own as well. In a drug induced state, Audrey sleepwalks and actually goes outside and runs around the block in a hazy fog. The next day she misses her alarm and the race not sure why she feels completely exhausted from her "dream" of running the race. Feeling guilty for not running, and much to Jeff's dismay, she writes a check to cover the pledges. Meanwhile, Russell meets a woman he actually wants to pursue. However, she continually keeps blowing him off with outrageous excuses that feel very "Russell" style. . Timmy tries to point out how ridiculous all her excuses are, but Russell refuses to see it and Adam encourages him even more. After she tells him she is going to Nova Scotia to see her sick aunt, Timmy discovers on her Facebook page that she is at a restaurant downtown and she is in a relationship. When Russell goes to confront her, she claims her flight got cancelled and the man she is with is her gay friend and she admits that she posted that she was in a relationship with Russell on her page, and Timmy finally admits that Russell was right for believing all her crazy stories.

In Colorado, Kobe Bryant could face up to life in prison if convicted of sexual assault. His attorneys explored moving his case to a different county in pretrial motions. But the judge said he was not inclined to grant the defense's request, saying the extensive pretrial publicity "diminishes the remedy of a change of venue."
'Ideal' Juror Myths and Misconceptions
Experts say there are some commonly held perceptions about what kind of people make the best jurors in rape and murder cases.
Crime victims, especially people who have lost a family member to homicide, are regarded as bad jurors in murder cases — at least from the defense's standpoint. Parents are seen as good jurors for the prosecution in kidnapping cases, on grounds that they are more likely to convict.
But stereotypes can cut both ways, for instance with gender in rape cases. When asked about what kind of jury they would want if they were defending Kobe Bryant in his sexual assault case, two veteran defense attorneys gave very different answers.
"What you don't want are women on the jury. You don't want feminists or those who read Ms. magazine," said Fischetti, reasoning that women would perhaps be more sympathetic towards Bryant's accuser, the alleged rape victim. "You don't want mothers who may have young daughters."
But Sherman said just the opposite.
"The only thing I know for sure is I want women on the jury," he said. "In a consent rape case, where the actions of the alleged victim seem to go against or are contrary to common sense or what people would normally do, it's been found that women can be very harsh, very critical and hard on the accuser. They say things like, 'How could she have done that? I never would have done that in that situation. My daughter never would have done that.' "
Such discrepancies hint at why some jury consultants caution lawyers against over-generalizations when picking their juries. Above all else, the consultants advise, lawyers should get to know the individual jury pool and its biases and put their own personal uninformed perceptions aside — just like a panel of jurors.
"There are lots and lots of myths about what makes a good jury and a bad jury," said Vinson. "I would advise those involved in the Kobe Bryant and Scott Peterson cases not to fall for or subscribe to the stereotypes. You can really do your client a disservice by clinging to the aphorisms and stereotypes that may or may not be true. And your client — Kobe in the form of his career and Peterson with his life — will be the one who pays the price."

Product description
The "Arnolfini" portrait, painted by Jan van Eyck in 1434, is one of the world's most famous paintings. It intrigues all who see it. Scholars and the public alike have puzzled over the meaning of this haunting gem of medieval art, a subtle and beautiful double portrait of a wealthy Bruges merchant and his wife. The enigmatic couple seem to be conveying a message to us across the centuries, but what? Is the painting the celebration of marriage or pregnancy, a memorial to a wife who died in childbirth, a fashion statement or a status symbol? Using her acclaimed forensic skills as an art historian, Carola Hicks set out to decode the mystery, uncovering a few surprises along the way. She also tells the fascinating story of the painting's survival through fires, battles, hazardous sea journeys, and its role as a mirror reflecting the culture and history of the time - from jewel of the Hapsburg empire to Napoleonic war trophy. Uniquely, for a masterpiece this old, it can be tracked through every single owner, from the mysterious Mr Arnolfini via various monarchs to a hard-up Waterloo war hero, until it finally came to rest in 1842 as an early star of the National Gallery. These owners, too, have cameo parts in this enthralling story of how an artwork of genius can speak afresh to each new generation.

Author information

Born in Sussex, Carola studied archaeology at Edinburgh University, and was an actress, journalist and House of Commons Researcher, before taking up an academic career. For several years she was curator of the Stained Glass Museum at Ely Cathedral, and then became a Fellow and Director of Studies in art history at Newnham College, Cambridge. Her books include Animals in Early Medieval Art, Improper Pursuits: The Scandalous Life of Lady Di Beauclerk, and two fine 'biographies' of works of art: The Bayeux Tapestry: The Life Story of a Masterpiece and The King's Glass: A Story of Tudor Power and Secret Art.
Review quote
"No-one can write, and explain, like Hicks. Here her mastery is complete." The Spectator "Exploring the double-portrait image in often revelatory detail, Hicks presents a truly inspiring picture of her own." -- Erica Wagner The Times, Books of the Year "The book has sent me back to the painting... with wider and more inquisitive eyes." -- Peter Conrad Observer "This beautifully written book is a splendid testament to the intelligence, attention to detail, depth of research, and down to earth vision of a first rate scholar." -- Theodore K Rabb Times Literary Supplement "A brilliantly idiosyncratic investigation which alternates chapters internal to the picture (the fashions, the furniture, the oranges, the mirror) with chapters on its production and historical meanderings." The Tablet

Meanwhile Richard and New Christine fight over what to do about their house and finally decide they can live together amicably, but not romantically.

Some of you may already know this babe sometimes named Valeria Alexa, other times known as Aleksa Slusarchi.
I really don't like it when a sexy babe has two aliases she uses regularly. It's hard to stay obsessed with them.
However, nude model/Ukranian gymnast Aleksa Slusarchi / Valeria Alexa is so damn hot that she doesn't even need a name. I'm sure after you see Aleksa / Valeria stripping out of some sexy lingerie, we could just refer to her as "that babe" and we'd all know exactly who you're talking about.
