Abstract Emerging evidence suggests that plants and
animals may share certain biochemical commonalities in
apoptosis, or programmed cell death (PCD) pathways,
though plants lack key animal apoptosis related genes. In
plants, PCD has many important functions including a role
in immunity and resistance to pathogen infection. In this
study, a rice phenylalanine ammonia-lyase promoter is
used to regulate the expression of the mouse pro-apoptotic
bax gene in transgenic tobacco plants. Ectopic expression
of the bax negatively affects the growth of transgenic
plants. Nonetheless, results show that the bax transgene is
induced upon infection by plant pathogens and accumula-
tion of Bax is observed by Western blot analysis. By
estimating and measuring the extent of cell death, release
of active oxygen species, and accumulation defense-asso-
ciated gene transcripts, it is shown that bax transgenic
plants mount a more robust cell death response compared
to control plants. The bax transgenic tobacco plants are
also more resistant to infection by Phytophthora parasitica
and Ralstonia solanacearum, but have no obvious resis-
tance to tobacco mosaic virus. These results substantiate
past studies and illustrate the powerful effects mammalian
bax genes may have on plant development and disease

Apoptosis, as a form of programmed cell death (PCD), has
been widely accepted as a requirement for the proper
development of multi-cell organisms. The process also
plays an important role in response to pathogen infection
(Gilchrist 1998; Green and Reed 1998). Apoptosis is
characterized by a series of distinct morphological and
biochemical features, including cell shrinkage, chromatin
condensation, ruffling of plasma membrane, and fragmen-
tation of the nucleus (Kuwana and Newmeyer 2003).
Common genes that function in the induction or sup-
pression of apoptosis have been identified in a variety of
organisms (Priault et al. 2003), suggesting shared PCD-
specific pathways. The mammalian Bcl-2 family is a group
of conserved key regulators of cell survival and death. The
Bax protein, a member of this family, is a positive regulator
of cell death. Bcl-2 is proposed to induce cell death by
forming channels in the outer membrance of mitochondria
to release cytochrome c and subsequently trigger, by cur-
rently unknown mechanisms, complex apoptosis pathways
(Manon et al. 1997; Pawlowski and Kraft 2000; Wei et al.
2001; Kuwana and Newmeyer 2003).
Plant PCD plays an important role in the process of
xylogenesis, reproduction, senescence, and immunity to
infection (Greenberg 1996; Kamoun et al. 1998). In
incompatible plant–pathogen interactions, plants quickly
recognize certain pathogens and activate defense systems,
resulting in the limitation of pathogen growth at the site of
infection (Lam et al. 2001). This rapid recognition and
response to infection has been defined as the hypersensitive

Comments about Travelon® Bag Bungee:
Starting to use this for putting my Travex Pack onto my medium sized Travex Expedition rolling duffel. Works like a charm!
Comments about Travelon® Bag Bungee:
I was moving across the country, and could only bring three pieces of luggage with me, so they were large pieces. I wasn't sure how I was going to move through the airports with three large pieces of luggage (32", 28", and a 21" carry-on), so I sought to strap two of them together. I purchased the Travelon Bag Bungee from Eddie Bauer online. Judging by the photograph, in which the strap is holding a briefcase size bag to a suitcase, I was skeptical that it would be large enough for my larger carry-on bag. I was pleasantly surprised (and relieved) when it fit-- even more, that it held my luggage together! Even more, it didn't add too much extra weight. It was a great purchase!

Comments about Travelon® Bag Bungee:
I am generally good at figuring out how things work, and I read the directions if there are any, too. This is actually not that hard to use if you remember how to use it, but I have still not used it often enough to remember, and have to fool around for a while to figure it out.
Never had any other problem with it, and holds a variety of stuff securely on my rolling luggage, but there should be some way to make it more obvious how to install it.

What made them famous : #2 Carlos SainzAs a kid, Carlos Sainz was never particularly attracted by cars and rallying: hardly surprising as - unlike many of his contemporaries - Sainz had no family background in motorsport.
Instead, it was all about skiing at first; he learned to ski at age four. At school his passions were tennis and football, in particular his beloved Real Madrid.
As a teenager he showed a special talent and as a result he was given a trial by Spain's premier football club. In the end his sports career took him elsewhere - notably the squash court, where he was Spanish champion by 16.
Nobody at that point thought that they were looking at Spain's most successful rally driver; least of all Sainz himself - who actually started off his motorsport career on circuits, racing Formula Ford, while still playing squash and football. Such was his prowess at squash that no less than the King of Spain was one of his squash partners.
As far as his parents were concerned though, young Carlos wasn't going to be a sportsman at all: he was going to be a lawyer. So they were horrified when he packed in his law course to concentrate full-time on being the most complete all-round professional athlete that world rallying has ever seen.
Sainz never got to play for Real Madrid, but after he won the Dakar Rally he kicked off his team's match against Malaga. Another box ticked for two-time winner of the FIA World Rally Championship.

The number of commercial truck crossings into the United States from Canada and Mexico totaled 10.7 million in 2012, 3.6% more than in 2011, according to a new figures released by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The increase follows a 1.7% rise from 2010 to 2011 after four years of declines from 2005 to 2009, a period that includes the recent recession.
The Detroit area saw the highest number of trucks crossings the northern border into the U.S., followed by Buffalo-Niagara Falls, Port Huron, Mich., and Blaine, Wash.
At the U.S. border with Mexico, Laredo had the highest number of truck crossings into the country, followed by Otay Mesa, Calif., El Paso, Texas, and Hidalgo, Texas.
The report also shows that 156 million people crossed into the U.S. from Mexico in personal vehicles or as pedestrians in 2012, a 3.5% increase from 2011. Also, 62.4 million people entered the U.S. from Canada in personal vehicles or as pedestrians in 2012, a 4.7% increase from 2011.

During a routine medical checkup as one of the beneficiaries at a student center in East Indonesia, Alysia Sistri was recommended for further evaluation. She was eventually diagnosed with a tumor at the base of her brain. Alysia's parents were devastated and afraid because they were unable to afford the medical care that Alysia was going to need.
After lifesaving brain surgery, Alysia (center) plays with friends.
After lifesaving brain surgery, Alysia (center) plays with friends.
Siti's heart was broken to imagine the pain and suffering of Alysia who was only nine years old. In the midst of her distress in the doctor's office, Siti suddenly exclaimed, "May God please help my daughter!" "I cried so because I knew only God could help her".
Alysia's parents were devastated and afraid because they were unable to afford the medical care that Alysia was going to need. Because Alysia is a beneficiary at a student center, the project leader submitted a CIV (Complementary Intervention) proposal to Compassion East Indonesia asking for help to cover the costs of the surgery Alysia needed to survive.
In August 2013, with this financial support, Alysia underwent a complicated surgery to remove the tumor. Since then, Alysia's recovery has been miraculous and the little girl who dreams of being a doctor is back home and happy to be playing again with her friends.
Alysia and her parents are grateful for everyone who has helped to provide funding through the CIV proposal. "We have never met or seen the faces of the donors but we want to say a big thanks! We always pray for them and may God bless their families," Yulius said.
Through Alysia's experience, the family has a better understanding of the true meaning of faith. They have become real examples for people around them as their case is an affirmation of God's power to do miracles.

Can I see all the lifted trucks with fender flares?
I need to put fender flares on the truck already seeing a fee paint chips, only problem is Im not a fan of them. So guys please put your pics up so I can talk my self into getting them:LOL: and if you could can you put the make and style of the flares.
Thanks for the help
Here is my truck. 4" lift with OEM Laramie 3500 flares
Love the truck those Fender Flares work really good on your truck.
^favorite truck on the forum right there.... Looks just perfect.
nevadaboy, you will honestly need the bushwacker pocket flares as they extend out the furthest at 2.5" (the 2500 may extend out a tad further) considering your wheels stick out a good 4.5"
Anything less and you are still flinging stuff down the side of your truck.
Rayne has those 2500 OE flares as it covers his thread fling quite well. Those flares only cover 3/4"
Thanks Fastnugly I would like to see some pics of some trucks with them if anyone has some
Its a 10" lift on 38" Mud Grapplers
But it has the same offset rim as you have...i think even the same rim :smileup:
Ya thanks Fast Im sold. Last question are those the pocket style or the extreme where you have to cut out the wheel whale and will these still work when I put my Iron bull bumper on?
There is no cutting. These just use existing bolts in the fender liner
I believe they should work with the iron bull, but hopefully someone with iron bull experience (ram725) will chime in.
Thanks man you got me to spend more money again haha. Thanks again.

The only 4th of July tradition that I can remember as a kid was of course, watching the city fireworks, but I also remember going to a park with my grandparents, near their house, where we would have a fireworks show of our own. It was a popular park for family fireworks. They were never anything big – just things like fountains and sparklers, but it was always such a big deal when we were young. There was one year that we all walked over to the park, only to discover that the sprinklers were on. Now, I don't know if the city did this on purpose to discourage the fireworks at this park, or if the timers were on and never adjusted for the holiday, but I just remember how dissapointed all of us kids were. Well, my grandpa didn't want to disappoint any of us! He grabbed a big metal transh can and covered up one of those sprinklers, giving us enough space to light our fireworks! It was definitely a memorable 4th of July.
We have started some traditions now that I have a family of my own. The day starts with the balloon festival, followed by the parade, and then watching one of the big fireworks shows that night. We have to get up pretty early in the morning for the balloon festival, so breakfast has normally been eaten on the run. This year, I had this idea that I want to make donuts ahead of time – perfect to take with us!! Like I mentioned on Saturday, these definitely didn't turn out red, white and blue like I had hoped for, but I didn't even care when I took a bite of one of these donuts. My husband and I seriously loved them. I was originally going to try to make a strawberry version, but I found some cherries at the farmer's market and just couldn't resist combining the blueberries and cherries!
A few notes on these – these are very tender donuts. You have to be pretty gentle when you dip them in the icing. And I stored them in a plastic container, but I didn't completely cover it overnight, because I knew they would just fall apart if I did that. Even uncovered, these were still super moist 2 days later!
Whether or not they are red, white and blue, I know these would make a perfect, easy breakfast for the 4th!
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup blueberries
- ½ cup cherries, halved and pitted
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- Preheat the oven to 325F. Spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat together the sugar, yogurt, eggs, vanilla, melted butter and vegetable oil. Stir in the flour mixture. Fold in the blueberries and cherries.
- Fill the donut pan about ⅔ full with the batter. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- When the donuts are cool, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, almond extract and 3 tablespoons of the milk. Whisk together. (add more milk as needed to make the right consistency.) Dip the top of each donut into the glaze and return to the cooling rack for the glaze to set up and dry.

I love the blueberry cherry combo here, these donuts look scrumptious!
A wonderful treat! I bet they are highly addictive.
oh these look sooo good! I want one right now…seriously! I was supposed to make blueberry donuts last week, realized I was out of blueberries, and ended up with mango muffins b/c I had frozen mango chunks but oh how I crave one of these!
So cute and lovely combination of berries. Must try some baked donuts
Oooh – these look amazing! Love the big blueberry and cherry chunks!
I am loving all homemade baked donuts these days! Love the bursts of color and flavor from the blueberries and cherries. Pinning these for sure (and hopefully making them eventually too!!).
Berry + Cherry! Great combo
Thanks for the link ♥!
I actually made those muffins this past weekend but used blueberries and peaches.
Your donuts look amazing!!!
These are super fun! Awesome idea!
I've seen so many baked donuts but I'd have to say that, hands-down, these are my favorite. They look so good, Deborah!
Love these little donuts! Must try
Such a great flavor combo. The cherries are so great right now. Thanks for the link love.
Love the blueberry and cherry color contrast. Donuts are the best!!
That's it, I need a doughnut pan. These look so delicious, I'm currently OBSESSED with cherries!
It's the thought that counts, especially when it comes to the colors of your baked goods. And it's the taste that matters. And from the looks of em…these are way good!
OH my, these look fantastic!!!! I need to get better so I can go get me a donut pan!
These looks great!!! Not a fan of cherries so I'm going to give these a try with just blueberries!
Oh man Deborah! I can't ever resist those baked donuts! I think I am going to have to bust out my donut pan soon!
Oooooh! I know my husband and I would LOVE these too. I've never made homemade dough nuts before. I should really give it a try. They look so darn good. Happy Fourth!
Absolutely love this combo of fruits here! And since these do have fruit in them, that means they're super healthy and I can eat like 5 of them in one sitting, right?
Oooh, these look delicious! I love that you added cherries – I've been obsessed lately! Happy (early) 4th! 😀
Love these! So adorable! Great photos.
Oh these look stunning!
This looks delicious! I LOVE homemade doughnuts (although I have only had them twice..) But what a delicious combination!
More deliciousness for me to drool over – now I'm craving blueberry donuts! I'm featuring this in today's Food Fetish Friday (with a link-back and attribution). I hope you have no objections and it's always fun to be following along with your creations…
These are incredible donuts. Cherries and blueberries are perfection for donuts. They look delicious.
Just made these but used frozen mixed fruit (raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry). They are WONDERFUL!!! I did have to bake them for 20 min, but that's alright. Also, I didn't have a donut pan and just plopped them onto a silpat.
These are gorgeous! I'm in love!
These are amazing! I had never made doughnuts before, so to start with these was perfect! The kids loved them, co-workers loved them, and my deployed husband loved them (and they held up to APO mailing)! Once again, AH-MAZE-ING!!!
Just finished baking a batch of those. They are awesome! My only changes are: used blueberry yogurt and a cup of blueberries, no cherries because that's what I had at home. Wondering what other flavors I can make… This was great, thanks!
Absolutely love this combo of fruits here! Even can dip in chocolate

DRUMMOND - After a hectic death-defying dance, Ruth Vargas Drummond, age 77, of Grand Rapids, MI, left the dance floor on September 22, 2011. She took a break and the Angels of Mercy took her to meet her Maker. They knew she was tired. Born in Saginaw, Michigan on July 30, 1934, Ruth moved to Grand Rapids to attend Aquinas College and earned a Bachelor's Degree in education. She also later earned a Master's Degree from Grand Valley State University. Before she retired in 1996, she was a well respected and much liked teacher for Grand Rapids Public Schools. She was preceded in death by and now joins her beloved son, Darrell; her brother-in-law, Robert Essenmacher; her sister, Beatrice Vargas; and her father and mother, Edward and Amelia Vargas. She leaves behind two precious daughters and their families, Denise and Paul Sherwood, and their daughter, Nicole; and Dawn and Kris Kraft, and their children, Alexander and Isabella. She is also survived by her "first" husband (as she fondly referred to him), Bruce Drummond; her sister, Irene Essenmacher; her brothers, Frank Vargas and Edward Vargas, and his wife, Katherine; and many loved nieces and nephews. She also cherished and was superbly supported by many friends, Sherry Fairbairn, Peggy Stoutenburg, Jo Robey, Kay Williams; her Aquinas College cheerleaders; and her MAC and Tai Chi friends. A memorial service will be held at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, 2750 Burton St SE, Grand Rapids, MI, on Saturday, October 22, 2011 at 11 a.m. Family will greet visitors beginning at 10 a.m.

Turkey's Northern Iraq Policy: Competing Perspectives
Oguzlu, Tarik, Insight Turkey
This article argues that Turkey's approach towards the Kurds of northern Iraq provides analysts with an opportunity to demonstrate that the traditional frontiers between foreign and domestic policy realms have gradually become blurred. Indeed, such a trend is not unique to Turkey, as the acceleration of the globalization process since the end of the Cold War era has exposed many countries across the globe to the challenge of keeping a distance between domestic and foreign policies.
Similar trends have also been observed in the EU's enlargement process, and in the West's attitudes toward Japan and Russia after the Cold War era. For example, some researches have examined the main rationale behind the EU's enlargement decisions and have concluded that there is a mutually constitutive relationship between the widening and deepening processes. (1) Depending on their visions of the EU's future identity, different actors offered competing explanations as to how fast, through which criteria, and by including which countries the EU should enlarge. Other researchers remark upon a close relationship between the reconstruction of Japan's national identity as a responsible member of the Western international community and the depiction of Russia as the main threat to Japan's national security interests in the post-Cold War era. (2)
Theoretically speaking, all foreign policy discourses are value-laden in the sense that proponents of alternative foreign policy discourses prioritize different national identity conceptualizations at home. The way in which the international environment is contextualized and relations with third parties are defined is very much interrelated with configurations of national role models. In this regard, the contemporary debate within the discipline of International Relations between structural realism and social constructivism helps elucidate the kind of relationship that may be formed between foreign policy and the construction of national identity. While mainstream structural realist accounts prioritize the distribution of material power capabilities and geographical location (read systemic variables) in accounting for particular foreign policy choices, social constructivists hold that ideational variables (read identity, culture, norms, values) should certainly be incorporated into foreign policy analysis; material factors, they argue, do not make sense on their own unless purposeful agents attribute values to them. (3)
The mutually constitutive relationship between foreign policy and identity construction becomes more observable if particular foreign policy issues directly impinge on national security feelings at home. Stated somewhat differently, there is a hierarchy among foreign policy issues in terms of the degree of impact they stand to have on the construction of national identity. Moreover, when a foreign policy issue is depicted as a security issue through discursive practices, the conventional approach holds that traditional security actors/elites (TSE) become dominant in shaping policy choices. In this sense, as the degree of securitization, viz. conceiving of otherwise political issues as security issues deepens, the possibility of having a political discussion on appropriate security strategies decreases, for 'security- speaking' requires military expertise. In such cases the involvement of non-military actors in decision-making process becomes limited; military strategies are prioritized over non-military strategies and security is achieved through the elimination of threats. (4)
Turkey, however, provides analysts with a paradoxical situation. In the last two decades, different domestic actors have tried to make their ideational/political positions known publicly by participating in security discussions. The assumption was that when different societal groups participate in security discussions, people would tend to give an ear to alternative views, for everybody has an interest in how security is defined and achieved (5) Presumably, if one particular actor, military or non-military, succeeded in convincing others of the legitimacy of his/her particular security/foreign policy understanding, this would grant that actor the ability to impose a particular identity conceptualization on the society. …

Wifi USb with Crystal HD

Hello guys
I wonder if there is a possibility to get working WiFi after installing the Crystal HD card? Does ATV flash silver support WiFi Usb dongles?
Kind regards
I'm not sure if anyone has had success with a wifi USB dongle, but I know many people have setup an Airport Express as a wifi exension and connected that to the Apple TV via an ethernet cable.
It's not a perfect solution, but will probably save you a lot of headache from trying to get a USB dongle setup.

If there was ever someone who could develop and share such enthusiasm and fervor towards recreational vehicles, it's Wally Byam. A self-made man with a vision of the open road, the outdoors and freedom, Byam is a pioneer of the mobile, adventure-filled lifestyle of Airstream that we all know and love. Everything that Wally Byam got in his life was through his own hard work and perseverance. Wally graduated from Stanford in 1921 and it's believed that he paid for college by working multiple jobs. During the school year Wally would work in concessions for Stanford football and basketball games,
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and we want to share about how much we love Airstream trailers! Check out the list below to see what we love most: Adventure, anywhere: With an Airstream trailer, you can embark on any adventure you want, anywhere, anytime. Airstreamers travel the country day in and day out to see the best sights, eat the most delicious food and make incredible memories with family and friends. Musician Josh Rogan travels the country in his Airstream to play his music at various gigs, and our friend Andrew Ditton gets to take in the beautiful
What do you picture when you think of "travel trailers?" It is safe to say that you probably don't imagine something that looks similar to a covered wagon. What would you think if we told you that's exactly what gave birth to what you now know as the travel trailer? To learn more about the history of travel trailers, we go back to 1910 when early adventurers would place their tents on platforms on wheels to create the first tent trailers. At this time, most cars only reached 15 mph, so campers could even leave the tents on the platforms
We love hearing the incredible stories of Airstreamers from the past. We recently talked to John Armstrong, who shared about a moment from his childhood where he had the amazing opportunity to meet an American political icon. Read his story below for more! — My family lived in El Paso, TX which is about as far west as one can go in Texas. It's a town written about in country western songs like Marty Robbin's "El Paso" and is known for its Wild West gun fighters like John Wesley Hardin. There really wasn't much going on there since it was a relatively small community of

Article: Acute Renal Failure Caused by Imiquimod 5% Cream in a Renal Transplant Patient: Review of the Literature on Side Effects of Imiquimod[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Imiquimod is an immunomodulator of the imidazoquinoline group which possesses antiviral and antitumour activities. Although its mechanism of action has not been entirely elucidated yet, imiquimod 5% cream has been shown to be an efficient, long-lasting and safe therapy for multiple actinic keratoses in non-immunosuppressed patients and in transplant recipients. We report the case of a 44-year-old patient with a third renal transplant who developed an acute tubular necrosis confirmed by renal biopsy after the use of imiquimod 5% cream. The result of a literature search revealed a wide variety of side effects attributable to the use of imiquimod.

2013 Lethbridge
From the CWSF 2013 Lethbridge Host Committee...
We are pleased and proud to welcome the 52nd edition of the Canada-Wide Science Fair to Lethbridge, Alberta, May 11-18, 2013.

What does CWSF registration include?
CWSF registration includes all activities and events, as well as:
- accommodation
- meals
- tours
- local transportation
Travel to Lethbridge, Alberta is provided for regional participants (finalists, delegates, and support adults) through the CWSF Equalized Travel Plan.
Incidental costs incurred by participants (souvenirs, phone calls, purchased snacks, etc.) or regions (activities in addition to the scheduled program) are not included.
IB Exams
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Program World Office rules state that IB candidates must write their exams at their home school. In recent years, this has meant that an IB candidate selected for the CWSF had to choose between the CWSF and writing his/ her IB exams.
Recently however, several CWSF finalists have been successful in securing an exception to this ruling, based on the fact that the CWSF is an "international event."
Section A9.5.4 of the Special Circumstances and Arrangements section of the IB Guidelines, which are only accessible to a school's IB coordinator (i.e., at the finalist's school), states that a student may write his/her IB exam(s) at another location if the exam scheduling conflicts with "an event of international significance" in which the student is participating. It goes on to specify that the event must have participants from two or more countries other than the host country. The CWSF qualifies under this provision, as we welcome participants from Australia, Mexico, and Taiwan.
Finalists with an IB exam or exams during the CWSF - except judging day - are encouraged to submit a Change of Venue for Exams. Finalists must be present for the full judging day (Tuesday) to be eligible for CWSF awards.
The CWSF finalist, together with his/her school IB Coordinator, must submit a Change of Venue for Exams request, citing "conflict with an event of international significance." If the request is successful, the IB office, in collaboration with the school's IB coordinator, will arrange to send the exam(s) to an IB school in the CWSF host community, where the finalist writes the exam(s) under their supervision.
Please note that Youth Science Canada has no involvement with, or influence over the success of these requests. Finalists - and their school's IB Coordinator - are urged to submit Change of Venue for Exams requests as early as possible to ensure the greatest probability of success.
The Opening Ceremonies and Banquet will be held on Sunday, May 12 at the ENMAX Centre. Transportation will be provided, as it is approximately a 10-15 minute bus ride from campus.
Participants will receive "A Western Welcome" unique to Southwest Alberta. Food, entertainment, décor and activities will capture the flavour and history of this special part of Canada. No need to dress up for this event. Just bring your appetite and enjoy a fun-filled evening as we relax and get acquainted.
As part of the evening's festivities, Microsoft Canada will present the first ever Microsoft Canada Alumni Award to a CWSF alumnus who best personifies excellence in innovation, science and technology in their chosen field. Who will be the recipient? We'll find out as we kick off this exciting week.
University of Lethbridge
Nestled in the coulees, the University of Lethbridge offers sweeping views of the city and river valley from the west bank of the Oldman River. Much of campus consists of natural prairie grassland, where hikers are likely to discover prickly-pear cactus on south-facing slopes, or spot white-tailed deer grazing in the sunshine.
CWSF 2013 participants will quickly feel at home as they discover all that's available on campus.
The University of Lethbridge features four separate residence buildings on campus: Kainai House, Piikani House, University Hall, and the New Village Townhomes.
Accommodations for finalists and delegates will be "shared" (i.e., there will be 2 persons per bedroom).
Finalists and delegates will be assigned to rooms based on gender. Roommates can be selected through the online registration system. Finalists who cannot be grouped with someone from their own region may be matched with a finalist from another region in the same residence area as their own group.
Residences are non-smoking and include bed linens, towels, laundry facilities, telephones and wireless Internet.
Due to limited accommodations on campus, other registered CWSF participants will stay at a nearby hotel. Please note all accommodations are based on double occupancy (2 persons per room). All meals and activities will take place on campus. Shuttle service will be provided to the University of Lethbridge from the hotel every morning & evening.
All food service (breakfast, lunch and dinner), except banquets and off-site meals, will be provided on campus.
The University Hall Atrium will be the main dining facility for all CWSF participants. Based on your residence, the dining facility will be a short walk upstairs, or it could be a 10 minute walk. Those who are farther from the dining facilty will be closer to the Exhibit Hall. Plan to bring your comfy shoes.
Participants will enjoy nutritious, well-balanced meals in a comfortable atmosphere. Aramark is the current food and beverage supplier on campus. We will work closely with Aramark to ensure that all dietary needs are accommodated, including vegetarian, vegan, kosher, halal, as well as allergies and other restrictions.
Please include all dietary needs on your registration form.
Safety and Security:
All participants, including adult delegates and volunteers, are required to display their CWSF 2013 ID during the event. This allows security to identify participants and manage access to restricted venues, including the exhibit hall.

Canada benefits from the innovative science contributions of its youth.
Youth Science Canada exists so Canadian youth are engaged through science in inquiry and critical thinking.
National Science Fair Program
Each year approximately half a million young Canadians undertake science and technology projects, either as part of their schoolwork or as a personal interest. Of that number, more than 25,000 young scientists participate in over 100 Regional Science Fairs in every province and territory. There, they showcase their research and design achievements and compete to represent their region at the Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF).
October: Invent the Future [IF]
Every fall, Invent the Future challenges teachers to engage their students in real science – projects related to the things they care about. We want them to ask "What IF?", start a project and invent the future.
March: Youth Science Month
While Invent the Future is a call to action, Youth Science Month heralds success. During March, over 25,000 youth compete to qualify for the Canada-Wide Science Fair. Youth Science Month gives Canadians a glimpse at the kinds of questions the next generation is asking about their world: from how stem cells can be used to treat cancer, to how to protect the environment or build a better mouse trap.
Check out the events and programs
May: Canada Wide Science Fair
A week-long, national event, the Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF) brings together 500 top students from across the country to compete for nearly $1 million in cash, scholarships and exclusive science opportunities.
Apart from the science, the fair is its own unique experience. The event in a different part of Canada every year brings together kids from the most remote regions of the country and their urban counterparts. Banquets, sightseeing tours, special events, dances – each Host Committee goes out of its way to showcase the cultural, natural and man-made qualities of their part of the country to the kids.
Those who qualify have distinguished themselves from amongst the approximately 25,000 young Canadians who compete in regional science fairs.
Team Canada-ISEF
International experiences give young Canadians a chance to benchmark themselves – and their science – against the best in the world.
Youth Science Canada's premier international initiative is Team Canada-ISEF, which competes annually at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). The event brings together over 1,500 students from more than 47 nations to compete for over $3 million in scholarships, tuition grants, internships and scientific field trips.
Youth Science Canada has been sending teams to Intel ISEF for 16 years – with spectacular success. Young Canadians win a disproportionate share of prizes: on average, 80% of the team returns home with awards.
Team Canada-MILSET
Participating in MILSET Expos-Sciences International (ESI) is an opportunity for students to
- Highlight their efforts in research, science, and technological innovation as well as contributing to their personal development.
- Establish relationships with other individuals and institutions who share similar goals about developing scientific, technical, and social projects in order to exchange ideas benefiting the needs of today's world, industry, the educational sector and society at large.
- Allow exposure on an international level facilitating scientific collaboration among youth.
- Promote scientific culture in a multicultural environment, allowing the sharing of educational experiences so as to achieve a higher-standard of scientific activities.
High school students are selected by their provincial youth science organizations based on the quality of their projects at the Canada-Wide Science Fair and Québec provincial science fair, as well as their ability to communicate their science and serve as ambassadors of Canada.
Team Canada-I*SWEEP
International Sustainable World (Energy, Engineering, and Environment) Project Olympiad (I-SWEEEP) in welcomes over 1,000 young scientists from 69 countries.
Youth Science Canada is pleased to announce that the 52nd Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF) will be held in Lethbridge, Alberta in collaboration with the host organization, Southern Alberta Technology Council (SATC). The week-long event will be located at the University of Lethbridge from May 11- 18, 2013.
The 2013 Canada-Wide Science Fair will feature the top 400 science projects by students from grades seven through twelve selected at more than 100 regional fairs across the country. The event will include project judging, social and cultural activities, tours to regional science and research facilities, along with visits to featured Southern Alberta's tourism destinations. Approximately 1,100 students, chaperones, judges, sponsors and dignitaries will descend upon the city for this week-long event.
CWSF 2013 will bring Canada's top young scientists to Lethbridge and provide a unique opportunity to showcase Southern Alberta's culture, industry, research and educational facilities, including the University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge College and the Canada-Alberta Research Station. The event will involve a variety of community organizations and individuals who will work together to make the national science fair experience memorable for participants. Volunteers will be recruited to assist with a variety of hosting duties, including the need for bilingual services. CWSF participants representing every province and territory will be housed in student residences on campus at the University of Lethbridge, where many of the activities will take place. The week will include opening ceremonies, a full day of judging, presentations by leading science authorities, and a gala awards ceremony and banquet.
The Southern Alberta Technology Council has organized the Lethbridge Regional Science Fair & Science Olympics for the past eight years. Winners have gone on to compete and win awards at the CWSF. SATC hopes to see a significant increase in participation at the local level over the next two years as teachers help students work toward taking their projects to the national level.
SATC is a member of the Alberta Science Literacy Association (ASLA). In addition to presenting the Lethbridge Regional Science Fair & Science Olympics, the organization is launching ASLA's Scientists and Engineers in the Classroom program which is supported by APEGA (Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta) and Government of Alberta: Ministry of Advanced Education and Technology.

Watch the Global Lethbridge interview with Rachel Brown and Katie Van der Sloot at the CWSF 2013 announcement:
It's quite an honour for students to be selected to attend Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF) our country's most prestigious science fair. Your child certainly deserves recognition for this accomplishment, and that's exactly what we intend to provide when your young scientist joins us in Lethbridge, Alberta.
The CWSF 2013 Host Committee is hard at work to make sure that the experience all student finalists have in Lethbridge will be memorable for all the right reasons - exciting new experiences, outstanding activities, and friendships to last a lifetime. This is the first time for the CWSF in our city, so it will be an event for us to remember too!
Our primary goal is to provide a secure and safe environment for all students at CWSF 2013 while allowing them to enjoy their experience to the utmost. To keep track of registered participants and manage access to the events, all participants, including adult delegates and volunteers, are required to display their CWSF 2013 photo identification badges during all activities from start to end of the fair (May 11 to 18).
Meals at the University of Lethbridge campus will be prepared on site. The Host Committee and Youth Science Canada have taken feedback from past fairs into account to ensure that menus will satisfy finalists and suit their dietary requirements. Please make of note of any special dietary needs during the online registration process and notify your delegate (the adult team leader from your region who accompanies the finalists) of any other special needs, medical issues, allergies, disabilities, etc.
Please ensure that your child understands that the adults appointed by his/her regional science fair (known as the delegates) are acting on your behalf, and that your child must have any activity approved by that adult before proceeding. It is vital to your child's safety and well being that we have delegates fulfill this parental role at CWSF 2013. It is equally important that your child recognize the delegates' authority as well as that of any authorized CWSF officials or appointed delegates, who are ensuring a safe environment for everyone's sake.
As part of the arrival process, everyone (student finalists and delegates alike) will attend an orientation session to learn about emergency procedures, safety, and expectations for behavior. An emergency contact list will also be provided to all participants.
Further CWSF 2013 details will be posted on this website in the months ahead, so simply review the content as May 2013 approaches. If you have any questions or require more information between now and then, please refer to the contact details. During the week of the fair, this website will also feature daily information to help you keep up with the activities.
If you plan to travel to Lethbridge for CWSF 2013, you can find information about accommodations, restaurants and attractions by visiting: http://visitlethbridge.com.
We look forward to hosting your young scientist and plan to make this event a safe, enjoyable, and educational experience for everyone!
