April 18, 2016: The May 2016 issue of The ChAMPion spans topics from Zika to the recent JMD publication on the results of AMP's microcosting project. Charles E. Hill, MD, PhD, updates membership on the development of Zika LDPs and the importance role community diagnostics will play as mosquito season arrives in the U.S.

"Genomic Sequencing Procedures are changing the way clinicians are diagnosing and managing hereditary diseases and the delivery of oncology care," said Linda Sabatini, PhD, HCLD, First Author and Project Leader, Director of Molecular Diagnostics at NorthShore University HealthSystem. "We hope that laboratories will use these tools to assess their individual costs, to consider the value structure in their own patient populations, and to contribute their data to the ongoing dialogue regarding the impact of GSPs on improving patient care."

AMP is very concerned and disappointed to see the FDA taking enforcement action against the physicians at Texas Children's Hospital and Houston Methodist Hospital for their laboratory developed procedure (LDP) for Zika virus, which was designed to identify virus-specific RNA sequences in a large metropolitan area. Given the ongoing outbreak of the infection and risk of infection in the Houston area, these types of tests are critical for patient care and should be made available to these patients in need.View the News Release
Get a glimpse of AMP's recent work in education, innovation, and advocacy for molecular diagnostics.
Hot off the presses is the first edition of The ChAMPion Newsletter! The ChAMPion aims to better educate members on rapidly evolving public policy issues affecting molecular pathology. Check out the link to the first issue below, where you can read about recent AMP advocacy news including AMP's response to FDA's report on oversight of LDPs; Common Rule NPRM; Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA); and two upcoming FDA workshops.
View The ChAMPion
The AMP paper, published in JMD, provides residency programs with specific recommendations from subject matter experts on 10 major molecular pathology topics: basic molecular pathology goals and laboratory management; basic concepts in molecular biology and genetics; technology; inherited disorders; oncology; infectious diseases; pharmacogenetics; histocompatibility and identity; genomics, and information management.
AMP has responded to FDA's recently released report titled "The Public Health Evidence for FDA Oversight of Laboratory Developed Tests: 20 Case Studies" with a detailed analysis of the laboratory developed procedures (LDPs) mentioned in the FDA report. After a careful and thorough examination of the LDPs mentioned in FDA's report, AMP concluded that FDA oversight would likely prevent few of the potential patient harms postulated by the Agency. Rather the Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services (CMS), which has statutory authority through the CLIA program, would have been more successful than FDA at addressing these potential problems.
View AMP's Analysis of the Report
AMP is pleased to endorse the CPIC sponsored draft manuscript Term Standardization for Clinical Pharmacogenetic Test Results: Alleles and Phenotypes. CPIC has assembled an international workgroup, utilized a Delphi process to develop their recommendations, and sought feedback from a number of professional organizations. We are confident that our members' expertise as molecular pathologists can contribute valuable insight and foundations upon which this and other CPIC projects may benefit.
AMP urged the House Energy and Commerce Committee to use AMP's CLIA modernization proposal as the basis for legislation where the goal is to preserve innovative patient care by building upon the current CMS-based system for oversight of laboratory developed procedures.

The session included presentations from various leaders in the field, all of whom are very knowledgeable regarding reimbursement for molecular diagnostic tests. "Defining and addressing the issues that prevent important clinical lab testing from being available to our patients will continue to be a major advocacy focus for AMP in 2016," said Samuel K. Caughron, MD, 2016 AMP Economic Affairs Committee Chair.
The session at the AMP 2015 Annual Meeting provided an update on the latest developments in Washington, DC. "What concerns me most about the direction that FDA is going with regulation of LDPs is that it will add to the significant economic burden that laboratories now face and slow their ability to develop new tests to respond to pressing public healthcare needs," said Congressman Burgess.

"We don't do this at School"
Independent evaluation of The Safe Choices (Reaching Communities) project which ran from 2012 to 2015 in Hackney and Islington.
The project involved three strands of work: groupwork and one-to-one support for young women, and training for local professionals.
The project aimed to prevent 'violent offending' by young women through intensive therapeutic work addressing sexual violence and exploitation in the context of gang association, including links to young women's own use of violence. The underpinning framework is a gendered analysis of young women's lived experience, creating a space that enables young women to look at and question social constructions and their own understandings of gender norms.
Boys think girls are toys - nia project evaluation
This report presents the findings from an evaluation of a prevention programme on sexual exploitation, delivered by the nia project in partnership with the Children's Society.
Into the Foreground: Jacana Project Evaluation Report
The Jacana Parenting Service was a pilot programme developed and delivered in partnership between the nia project and Domestic Violence Intervention Project (DVIP) to support parents affected by current and historic domestic violence in Hackney. The programme offered separate interventions for men as perpetrators and support to women as victim-survivors, using individual and group work, and was funded by the Parenting Fund.
The Jacana Project met a gap in service provision and addresses statutory interventions which don't take into account the dynamics of domestic violene and too often focus on blaming mothers for "failing to protect their children".

nia's prevention work in schools – with boys as well as girls – to challenge attitudes that condone violence against women and girls, is cited as an example of good practice.
Service User Satisfaction Survey 2012
We wanted to know what the women and girls who use nia's services think about us and what we do.
This report describes the process and findings of an independently conducted service user satisfaction survey carried out at nia in June/July 2012.
The aims of the survey were to measure the levels of satisfaction with our current services, identify areas for improvement and good practice and provide a meaningful opportunity for service users to describe their experience of nia's services in their own words and make recommendations for change and development

Safe Choices Reaching Communities Interim Evaluation Report - November 2014
Safe Choices is a London-based programme that aims to prevent 'violent offending' by young women through intensive therapeutic work addressing sexual violence and
exploitation in the context of gang association, including links to young women's own use of violence. The underpinning framework is a gendered analysis of young women's lived experience, creating a space that enables them to look at, and question the social constructions, and their own understandings, of gender norms.
Safe Choices: Reaching Communities runs from 2012-2015 and offers three strands of support and intervention: group work; one-to-one sessions; and training for practitioners. In September 2013, the Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit (CWASU) at London Metropolitan University were commissioned to evaluate the project.
This briefing presents key findings from the first interim evaluation report. It draws on: monitoring data from the
first 18 months of project delivery; interviews with 12 local stakeholders; interviews with three young women who had engaged in one-to-one-support; evaluation forms completed by six young women.

Now even if you look at this country, chronic
hepatitis B and liver cancer is the greatest health disparity between
Asian Americans and Caucasian Americans. Although the incidence of chronic hepatitis
B in this country is 0.3 percent, the incidence in Asian Americans is
as high as ten percent and in the recent article you probably read in
the New York Times, they did a survey of several thousand people in
New York City, they found an incidence of fifteen percent. Up to 1.4 million people are estimated to
have chronic hepatitis B in this country – over sixty percent are
Asian Americans. Liver cancer incidence is four to thirteen
times higher in Asians compared with white Americans and depending on
the ethnic group of the Asians, liver cancer is the second leading cause of
cancer death in Asian men living in the U.S. as listed by the recent
data released by the CDC and National Cancer Institute.

There are more than 20 million unemployed and underemployed workers in America, including many working on Hollywood productions. First Daughter Malia Obama, on the other hand, seems to have no problem finding a job in Tinseltown.
The 15-year-old just finished her school year at the exclusive Sidwell Friends private school in Washington, D.C., and immediately flew out with the First Lady to California ahead of her father's visit to Palm Springs this weekend. While the President played golf and attended a fundraiser in the area, Malia and her mother Michelle Obama went to the Los Angeles set of the CBS sci-fi series Extant, starring Halle Berry. According to The Wrap, Malia worked as a production assistant on the show while there, including assisting the computer shop alignments and "slating" a take. It is unclear how she got the job, as spokespeople for both CBS and the First Lady did not respond to The Wrap's request for a comment. Michelle Obama reportedly accompanied Malia to the set.
It is also not clear how much taxpayers forked out to cover the cost of the Obamas to fly to Los Angeles and back to Palm Springs to continue their vacation.
It should be noted that Halle Berry is a longtime supporter of President Obama. She made numerous donations to his campaigns, and during his initial Presidential run in 2008, Berry said "I'll do whatever he says to do. I'll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear."

The More You Know
Cats are like soul portals to the underworld, they often take on forms of large entities, I have seen cats sit like Jabba the Hutt, the Hindenburg docking on the Empire State Building, cats have stretched their paw like they are mimicking hailing Hitler, cats will sit with their paw on their groin or "harbl" like they are masturbating, cats sitting naturally of course which would be depicted by Egyptians, and the infamous "morph-ball" cats often assume in cold weather.
I would encourage upon making contact with the felis catus to engage in physical stroking of the animal, followed by a good rape.
I like taking cats and putting my face deep into them, rubbing them all over me and giving them whisker burn, sniffing and huffing them, sleeping with them, and ultimately teasing them with the dog.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love cats. I don't pull any punches when I show my affection. Once I stretched my female cat and surprised her. I think... I think that stayed with her somehow? Like it had scarred her... little cat mind, or something! The next few days, I saw her skulking and kind of, stretching out like a self conscious cat. still I enjoy eating their innocence haha yes :eyemouth:
And then the other guy was like "dude, that is ****ed".

Comments about NIKWAX NORTH AMERICA INC NIKWAX TX.Direct Waterproofing Spray:
When you follow the instructions, this stuff works great at restoring the DWR coating on hardshell garments. I've been reproofing my raingear & skiwear with this every couple seasons & my old jackets and pants still bead up & repel water like new.
You've got to spray it on while the garment is still wet from the washing machine (use mild detergent that doesn't strip all the original DWR out & double rinse to get all the soap out). Spray this on liberally & immediately toss the garment into the dryer at Med heat for at least 20 min. Viola! Your jacket or pants should now repel water like new.

Comments about NIKWAX NORTH AMERICA INC NIKWAX TX.Direct Waterproofing Spray:
I'm a little disappointed with the product. I sprayed my entire jacked with NIKWAX TX.Direct Waterproofing and used the sponge to spread it around as suggested. After letting it dry for a day I sprinkled some water on it and it did not bead up. So I repeated the process and used the entire bottle. It is now beading up, but not to the point I expected.

What should I do about a baby shower?
I would really like to have a baby shower; I mean who wouldnt?! This is my first baby and I'm 15 weeks along....the problem is that my family lives in different states AND I'll be moving out of state before the little one is born. Since none of my friendds or the father's friends/family have offered to throw a shower for us, what should I do?

Thanks everyone! I know its waaay to early to plan. But alot of people have been asking when I'll have one and I really just want a baby-celebration before I move, since everyone will be to far away to visit nce I'm furthur along. If I dont use any of the tips you guys gave me, maybe I'll throw a combo "going away/baby shower" event before I leave :)posted 01/08/2012 by ratney_tee
If you are just wanting stuff and really dont have the money to buy stuff I would say when you move to contact local churches and tell them you need some supplies for a baby. Some people still have a kind heart.posted 01/07/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Hi Ratney, 15 weeks is too early to plan a baby shower usually baby showers are planned at 24 weeks or so..If no one offers to throw a baby shower you can always plan one for yourself and invite close friends and family..don't take it personally but there a lot of people out there who don't find throwing parties and showers as a fun activity..I say plan one by youself and let me know if you need any ideas for planning it.. Have a 1 year old daughter and expecting.. Hope this cheers u up :Dposted 01/06/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

New New Orleans Saints defensive end Turk McBride was up for the challenge the last time he faced the Green Bay Packers.
Last December, while starting for the Detroit Lions, McBride sacked Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, then added two half-sacks against backup quarterback Matt Flynn during a 7-3 upset over the eventual Super Bowl champions.
The Saints will be counting on a repeat performance Thursday night, when McBride will likely start in place of suspended veteran Will Smith.
"Since Will's gonna be out those first two weeks, that's definitely taking a big hit on our defensive line and definitely in our leadership," McBride said. "But guys like myself definitely need to step up. And I believe we will."
McBride, a fifth-year veteran who began his career as a second-round draft pick in Kansas City, finished with a career-high five sacks last year as a part-time starter for the Lions.
But he isn't interested in leaning on last year's highlights to boost his confidence heading into another matchup against the Packers and their dynamic passing offense.
"You can't really look at last year, because week in and week out, people are getting better," McBride said. "So you start thinking about what you did last year, you might not do the same."
The Saints will be even greener at the other defensive end spot.
Although the team hasn't officially tabbed any starters for Thursday night's game, first-round draft pick Cameron Jordan is the likely replacement for veteran Alex Brown, who was released last week.
Incumbent backups Jeff Charleston and Junior Galette should also play more prominent roles for the Saints.
"It's a complete honor and a blessing truly, just to be able to go out and be a part of the team - and I mean really a part of the team," Jordan said. "To be able to start and have the potential to start the whole game is a great feeling."
As if Jordan didn't have enough motivation to be fired up for his NFL debut in such a big game, he joked about a couple personal incentives.
Jordan's dad, Steve, was a long-time tight end for the Minnesota Vikings, so he said he always grew up wanting to face off against those "cheeseheads."
And Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers is a fellow Cal product.
"Of course you want to put pressure on quarterback in any given situation, more so this guy. He's a pretty great scrambler," Jordan said. "(And a) Cal Bear. I'm definitely going to have to chase him down and I'm definitely going to have to get into his head a little bit."
Rodgers, meanwhile, said he isn't about to take Thursday night's matchup lightly. Although he said no defense can get better by losing a guy of Smith's caliber, he said he has plenty of respect for Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' ability to adjust.
"I know what kind of coach he is," Rodgers said. "He is an extremely talented coach and he gets his team prepared. I know they will have something special for us and I know it will be a big challenge for us."
As for the timing of the Smith suspension, Saints Coach Sean Payton clearly wasn't thrilled about finding out less than a week before kickoff that he'd be without his top pass rusher.
Payton said the Saints have always been prepared for the possibility, though, dating back to when Smith first tested positive for a banned diuretic in 2008.
"You know, my thoughts on it really don't matter. And I don't want to start off the season on a bad foot here," Payton said. "It's been something that seems like it's gone on forever. The first I can remember was when we were in
"So I think everyone is probably glad to see that it's over with, and certainly I recognize the players' frustration."
Payton said the decision to release Brown last week was made "separately" of Smith's possible suspension. So chances are, the Saints would have made that move either way.

In Purgatory, I have the option to interact with a couple of unique items. They seem like throwaway interactions, but I'm curious if they have any in-game use.
At the bar, I can take a drink. I've only done this a couple of times, but it seems like I can just keep drinking if I so choose.
Elsewhere in the club, I can do a bit of dancing. Shepard really owns the dance floor, but I can't help but wonder if there's anything to be gained here.
Is there any reason to get really plastered and do a bit of dancing? (Aside from trying to forget that the apocalypse is in full swing)

This week, we have one of our User Education ("UE") folks out visiting the North Carolina office. We're talking about all manner of interesting documentation topics, including what we want to work on with respect to documentation for future versions. After spending a bit of time scratching my head and trying to come up with answers I realized that I don't have to come up with ideas all by myself. After all, any of you out there who have experience using and reading our online documentation certainly have at least as much of an idea what may be needed or what else you'd like to read.
With that in mind, I'd like to make an open call to all users of TFS to comment here or use the "Email" link on my blog to pass along your thoughts. What documentation changes would you like to see? What documentation have you found most helpful? Where can we improve? Any other thoughts?

One Gallon Challenge™ Showcase
We have some amazing electric vehicles to showcase at Boston GreenFest this summer! In the past this has taken the form of a road expedition to see how much gasoline (or equivalent) was used to travel 100 miles. The expectation was that the entrants should be able to reach at least 100 miles per gallon. This year, the shift in the automotive industry is obvious. Electric vehicles are becoming part of our lives. We are proud to present two wonderful BMWs - the i3 and i8 - which are brought to us by Herb Chambers, and a Fisker Sports Car, brought by Sustainable America. Take a look here, but come on site to see them in real life.

i'm trying to use the cfengine version in the ubuntu repositories rather than download the cfengine-community repository, because the ubuntu repository has binaries for armhf. however, i'm having a difficult time bootstrapping. on the cfengine-community version of cfengine, (and according to any available documentation) running
cf-agent --bootstrap --policy-server <ip.of.server>
would make the client machine pull in updates from the policy server. on ubuntu, that same command does absolutely nothing. any ideas?

A vault is a repository where documents and files are stored and managed. Autodesk Vault is a data management system that offers file security, version control, and multi-user support. Autodesk Vault integrates with Autodesk Revit Architecture, MEP, and Structure.
Autodesk Vault is both a server and a client interface.
Autodesk Vault software is a client-server application. In a typical installation, you install the server portion of the software on a shared computer, and then install the client software (Autodesk Vault and Revit add-in) on individual workstations. During installation, you have the option to install each of the components required for each workstation and, when applicable, for each server.
The vault server stores and maintains the files and metadata that make up the vault. The server software can be installed on a server or workstation that is shared by all users or, for a single user, the server can be installed along with the client on a single, isolated workstation. The database is managed by the Autodesk Data Management Server console.
The vault client consists of the Autodesk Vault stand-alone client and add-ins for most Autodesk design products including Revit. The clients are installed on all workstations that need to access the vault.
There are two essential concepts to understand when working with the Revit Vault add-in.
Essential Vault skills are shared across many different add-ins as well as the Vault Client. Click on the link for the Command/Function in the list to go to that topic in the help.
Short Description
Launch the Autodesk Vault stand-alone client.
Log into the vault.
Log out of the vault.
Open a file stored in the Vault.
Link a file in the Vault to the current Revit Project.

If you are looking for enhanced overall performance of your vehicle and
boosted engine performance, Eibach products are the answer. One of the leading
German manufacturers of automotive coil springs (OEM and racing), Eibach enjoys
worldwide reputation as an established supplier to the automotive industry. The
primary focus of the company and products is represented by market segments
outside the mass volume.
Genuine performance and quality is the result of Eibachs continuous struggle
to be the best and live the quality ideal. The guiding idea behind each Eibach
product and performance operation is the will to win. All Eibach products are
a combination of maximum flexibility and highest quality and are created to meet
even the most demanding requirements of racing cars for a variety of different
purposes. Professional suspension performance is available through Eibachs
every spring, roll bar, shock absorber and other components.
The decades of Eibachs involvement in international level racing, such as
Formula 1, NASCAR, World Rally Championship, Super Touring Car or IRL, have
enabled the company to develop high performance coilovers for all purposes.
Eibach coilovers stand out with their extreme look, resembling that of Formula 1
racing, their lowering adjustability, from 0.8 to 3.0, as well as with their
capacity to render excellent ride quality.
Precise street and track tuning requires maximum flexibility. This is
delivered by every Eibach coilover kit, which allows for a quick adjustment of
both the ride height and corner weight of each wheel.
Eibach lowering springs allow for considerably improved performance in the
cornering and handling ability of your car. Increased stability, reduced body
roll and immediate response is what you will get from your car with Eibach
lowering springs. The same experience that Eibach has gained from working with
race teams all over the world has revealed yet another benefit of using lowering
springs, namely reduced wind resistance. For the average street driver this
translates into better fuel efficiency, whereas for the race track driver Eibach
lowering springs entail higher top speeds.
Eibachs high performance shocks and struts allow for enhanced cornering
power, quicker steering response, as well as improved traction control for
lowered vehicles. Developed to complement Eibachs Pro Kit and Sportline springs
and swaybars, their Pro-Dampers take full advantage of the lower centre of
gravity and increased spring rate, which results in improved performance and
Precisely manufactured and engineered, Eibach truck suspension systems
maintain the compliant ride that has made Eibach famous all over the world. With
improved aerodynamics, rugged durability, superior handling, enhanced
appearance, increased safety, enhanced transient response, Eibachs truck
suspension is the perfect choice for your truck.
Eibachs large selection of alignment kits represenst a simple yet very
effective and affordable solution to adjusting the camber of your vehicle back
to factory specifications. In addition to this, the Eibach alignment kit allows
for a better use of the increased adjustment range. This results in more precise
turn-in, enhanced high-speed stability and more predictable handling.
The Eibach anti-roll bars help you achieve additional roll stiffness by
reducing body roll and allowing a finer tuning of suspension. High strength
aircraft grade steel is used in the cold-forming production process of Eibachs
anti-roll bars, whose careful design allows them to fit any car without
Eibach wheel spacers are available in a wide range of sizes, from 5mm to
45mm. This allows car owners to position their tires so as to meet the desired
look and performance specifications. In addition to enhancing the cars looks,
Eibachs Pro Spacers optimize roll characteristics and improve handling

Every fly fisher has his favorite spot. In Virginia, that could be a small mountain stream on this side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Some may want to travel out west to take in a big "western" experience.
Waynesboro doesn't quite match up in prestige, but on Saturday, some are hoping the town sheds new light on fly fishing in the region. The Waynesboro One-Fly tournament will take place starting at 8 a.m. at the Pavilion Downtown, where an entry into the South River awaits.
South River Fly Shop co-owners Kevin Little and Tom Lawhorne have been touting this tournament for months now, hoping to carve out an audience on the South River. So far, six two-person teams are registered for the event, which will take place on 10 sectioned off locations over an 1.8 mile stretch of the river in Waynesboro.
It's being hosted by the Shenandoah Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited and the event is working as a fundraiser for the charity. South River also hopes to raise grant money for new stockings to the river this year. In 2013, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries had three controlled stocking adds to the river. South River Fly Shop, using grant money, private money and other donations, added another three during the year.
Little and Lawthorne believe the South River is a quality destination for solid fly fishing. The stream is flush with trout.
"Between the section downtown and a four and a half mile stretch centered around Lyndhurst, it's arguably the best public trout fishing in the state of Virginia," Little said. "We're trying to make that location better with this event, and we'd like to elevate more funding for next year. But we also want to highlight the river. There are some fly fishers out there who caught it 15 years ago when it wasn't as good as it is now. They haven't been back. So we want them to come into town and let them know this is a fly fishing destination for in the state."
Contestants will use a single fly that must follow tournament guidelines. During the day long event, participants will fish three hour sessions on assigned beats — or sections of the South River — with one fly of their choosing.
Registration for the event includes a ticket to a post-event dinner at Heritage in Waynesboro. There, winners will be announced and prizes, including a package worth $1,000, will be given to the top overall team.
Little maintains that fly fishing can be anything from a novice hobby to a passion.
"The big thing about fly fishing," Little says, "is that it can be almost anything to anyone. You can go out and learn the basics of a rudimentary cast. You learn quickly how to identify insects and match them to the fly to be successful. If that's as far as you want to take the sport, that's fine.
"At the same time, you can immerse yourself for 20 to 30 years and not
master every aspect of the sport. It can be as involved and all consuming as you want it. Or it can be as basic and rudimentary as the angler wants."
On Saturday, Little and Lawhorne hope the contest brings an added awareness to fly fishing into the region.
"The main focus for this event is to generate interest in the river and act as
a fundraiser for the Shenandoah Valley chapter of Trout Unlimited," Little said. "We want to eventually raise money for more stockings. But we also want to continue to support programs in this area, too."

The Jersey cow is numerically the second largest breed of dairy cattle in the world. She is renowned worldwide and revered in her home in the Island of Jersey for her beauty, purity and rich, golden, high quality milk.
In 2001, the organisation that has been instrumental in protecting and enhancing the breed globally, the World Jersey Cattle Bureau, was 50 years old.
Her current and deserved status is a far cry from the 1800s when the Jersey Cow was described as having "a long head, bad horns, ewe necked, hollow backed, cat hammed and walking ill". However, by 1866 the Jersey had become an object of beauty and described as having : "a lively eye, orange ears, a round barrel, short, fine deer-like limbs, a capacious udder with large developed milk veins and a fine tail" - the pale, doe-eyed, fawn creature that we all know and love today.
The turnaround in the fortune of the Jersey began with the prohibition of imported French cattle in 1763. The laws were progressively tightened up, and as a consequence, Jerseys have defined purity and are free from serious cattle diseases that have afflicted other breeds.
It was however, the formation of the Royal Jersey Agricultural & Horticultural Society in 1833 that really helped improve the breed. The RJA & HS played a vital part in the selection, formation, and preservation of the distinct Jersey type. In 1866, the Jersey Herd Book was founded, since when virtually all Island Jerseys have been registered.
Jersey developed a flourishing global export trade in the cow, but the Jersey's popularity dipped in the middle of the twentieth century, until dairy buyers woke up to the increased value of the high butterfat, protein and calcium content of Jersey milk.
Today the Jersey is again in great demand. It is represented in most countries around the world and there are estimated to be more than five million pure bred Jerseys world-wide.
The latest figures show Jersey has 34 dairy herds, which produce about 14 million litres of milk a year. The milk is distributed by the Jersey Dairy, and in order to further protect this very special animal, the importation of milk into Jersey has been banned.
One of the highlights of 2001 was the unveiling of a life size bronze sculpture of Jersey cattle.
The sculpture was produced by sculptor John McKenna. He is a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and was selected from a short list of 25 French and British artists to undertake the work. Mr McKenna has already created many distinguished public commissions in the UK.
He visited the Island on a number of occasions to study the Island's famous cows and to create his life-like models alongside real cows.
The sculpture is sited in West's Centre in the Island's capital, St Helier. The appeal committee successfully raised £165,000 toward the cost of the sculpture.
Jersey milk is naturally high in butter fat content but is now sold as fresh full cream milk (5.5 per cent cream content), fat reduced (2.5 per cent cream content) and low fat (1.1 per cent cream content). Read more.

I have difficulties finding an appropriate reference for the following question (which I hope that it to be true).
Let $U$ be a compact Lie group, $G:=U^{\mathbb{C}}$ its complexification and $\tau: U^{\mathbb{C}} \rightarrow GL(V)$ a holomorphic representation of $U^{\mathbb{C}}$ on a complex vector space $V$. Let $v,w \in V$ such that $w$ lies in the boundary of the orbit of $v$ ($w \in \partial(G\cdot v)$). The question is:
Is there a open neighbourhood $\triangle_{w}$ of $w$ such that there are a $v\prime \in G\cdot v \cap \triangle_{w}$ and $X \in \mathfrak{g}_{w}$ such that
$$\lim_{t \to \infty} \exp(tX)\cdot v\prime = w?$$
Here, $\mathfrak{g}_{w} :=\{X \in \operatorname{Lie}(G) : X\cdot w=0\}$ where $\operatorname{Lie}(G)$ is the Lie algebra of $G$.
I am really not an expert in Lie theory, so Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

Relaxation and warm hues take form in the 85m2 / 915 sq feet, two bedroom / one bathroom apartment Paso Doble and the 60m2 / 645 sq feet, one bedroom / one bathroom Cañadilla suite. Located on the fourth floor.
Here you can take full advantage of interior and exterior suites, with the views of the streets on the street facing side of the building and tranquility at the rear. Details such as the restored French doors, handpicked rustic elements and high quality beds ensure that guests feel pampered in this charming home away from home. One of the bathrooms has a shower and the other bathroom has a generous bathtub. They both come with fluffy white towels.
This combination of apartments provide 2 open plan kitchens, fully equipped with high-end appliances.
Located in a Modernista (Art Nouveau) building near the University of Barcelona. You're just steps away from Gaudí's architecture in the chic Eixample district and the Gothic Quarter, the oldest part of the city, where trendy shops and restaurants blend in with ancient history.
Registration nº: HUT001265 and HUT001264 in Catalonia's Tourism Register
Our Paso Doble and Canadilla apartments are situated just by the popular and vibrant areas of Eixample, Gothic, Raval and Ramblas.
Turn left from the building and you will find yourself at Plaça Catalunya, a central point in the city and excellent for transportation.
Just a minute's walk west from the apartment is the Passeig de Gracia, the central avenue of the Eixample district. Fitting with the grandeur of the buildings and the majestic fountain in the middle, this street hosts some of the most exclusive shops in the city such as Chanel, Carolina Herrera, Loewe, beautifully juxtaposed amongst some of Gaudi's architectural gems.
Turning right from your front door, you'll find the lively Placa Universitat with the University of Barcelona, designed by the architect Elies Rogent in a style based on Catalan Romanesque.
Behind the university you'll find Gayxample, the gay district set in the elegant Eixample area, where you can find nightclubs, shops, bars and restaurants lilt the streets, perfect for those seeking an eclectic crowd.
A stroll down from our building brings you to the Barri Gòtic, the oldest part of the city, famous among others for its many cathedrals. The area, which dates back to medieval times, oozes character and charm. In the narrow, winding streets you come across many boutiques and trendy bars. Central to the area is Las Ramblas, the connected series of streets famous for its street artists and flower stalls and if you walk down La Rambla, you pass La Boqueria, by far the city's best indoor food market. Definitely worth a visit.
Also down from the apartments is el Raval, an up and coming area where you will find not only the MACBA museum for contemporary art but also many galleries, boutiques, restaurants and bars. And, just to get you in the mood: if you walk from your apartment to the MACBA museum you come across Plaça Vicenç Martorell, a square with some great bars for breakfast and lunch.
Another interesting district next door is the Sant Antoni part of Eixample where you will find the less tourist Mercat de Sant Antoni food market. This area has recently reinvented itself as the place to go for excellent restaurants.
As locals we regularly eat out in the city, so we thought we'd share our list of bars, cafes and restaurants. We have visited them all! Download list.

Armstrong; boosters, Frank Borman; cockpit layout and systems integration, Charles Conrad, Jr.; recovery system, James A. Lovell, Jr.; guidance and navigation, James A. McDivitt; electrical, sequential, and mission planning, Elliot M. See, Jr.; communications, instrumentation, and range integration, Thomas P. Stafford; flight control systems, Edward H. White II; and environmental control systems, personal equipment, and survival equipment, John W. Young.
With this flight, the US finally took the manned spaceflight endurance record from Russia, while demonstrating that the crew could survive in zero gravity for the length of time required for a lunar mission. However the mission was incredibly boring, the spacecraft just drifting to conserve fuel most of the time, and was 'just about the hardest thing I've ever done' according to a hyperactive Pete Conrad. An accident with freeze dried shrimp resulted in the cabin being filled with little pink subsatellites.

During Audi's Annual Press Conference that was held in Ingolstadt, Germany yesterday, the German manufacturer presented an opportunity to showcase the latest details of the Ducati acquisition to the world's press, including the outstanding results achieved by the company during the last year.
With Ducati experiencing continuous growth in terms of market share and production and sales volumes, 2012 has now been confirmed as a record year in the long history of the famous Italian manufacturer. These outstanding results further underline the security of the company which is, also thanks to the Audi Group acquisition, better structured and organized than ever before and ready to confidently face future challenges.
"Ducati closed 2012 with revenues of 606 million euro, an increase of 16% compared with 2011 and a total of 44,102 motorcycles delivered to customers," said CEO of Ducati Motor Holding Gabriele Del Torchio. "Our growth rate has been especially impressive in the US, currently our primary-focus market, with sales up by 21% compared to 2011, confirming an absolutely positive trend for this country, where Ducati sales have increased consistently for the past 30 months."
"We are also achieving major results and important goals throughout the Far East, thanks to a marketing policy which specifically targets new and emerging markets and has returned growth in terms market share and profits."
"With new stakeholders in the company, Ducati has never been so solid, and these positive figures confirm the value and commitment of all the company staff and of our brand, increasingly popular, appreciated and renowned all over the world," Del Torchio continued.
"The 2013 product range, including the new Multistrada, Hypermotard, Hyperstrada and 1199 Panigale R models, is the expression of technological excellence and the emotional impact of our products, ever-important in the current, highly competitive economic climate, perfectly complements our unmistakable, all-Italian style. Ducati is today, and will continue to be, a product-oriented company, with development and innovation as the milestones of our growth strategy."
