I am writing here about the sync that can be done between an Android smartphone and an OS X Mac , like Mac Book Air for example.
I know that most of the people think the sync between Android and Mac is impossible, due to the fact both Google and Apple are limiting their products in terms of free communication between each other.
Other issue came might be the question "Why would I want to sync an Android running device with an other OS X Mac device? Anyone who has a Mac Book Air, for example will probably buy an iPhone instead of an Android Phone". Probably…but not in all cases. iPhone is an expensive tool. It dose a lot of good things, it runs very well, without blockings and wobblings, and the best of all, it has that original design which most of the Android phone makers tend to copy it (see the Samsung Galaxy S2 and you will understand what I am talking about). But it does have some important lacks, like: no flash, using iTunes every time you want to add something in your phone etc. And the price is higher, too.
So why not buying an Android even if you already own a Mac computer?
As I said in the above paragraphs, it will be one single problem: How to sync an Android smartphone with a Mac device?
In order to sync your Android with an OS X Mac, you will need this:
– Rings Extended software, available on Android Market
I recommend you to read this tutorial until it ends and after that to try to sync your Android with OS X
Android OS is created in order to work perfectly with Google Cloud. This is a free service which allows you to sync your data from the Android phone with it. Google Cloud is included in your Google Account and, automatically, will add your Android phone, too.
Now if your data you in your Android is not already sync-ed with Google Cloud, then you can easily connect your smartphone to the Mac, install the double Twist application and transfer your data (videos, photos, music etc) like using the iTunes. I don't recommend using this app instead of iTunes for other purposes except for making a sync between Android and Mac OS X. It just does not run so good.
How to Sync Android with OS X Mac
1. Plug in the USB cable in your Android phone and in the OS X Mac, too. If the Mac will not see your phone, then enable the USB mode in the Android smartphone.
2. Enable the USB mode in your Android phone. After that, in your OS X Mac, the double Twist app will display a message saying that your android phone has been found.
How to sync music from Android to Mac OS X?
The iPhoto application should automatically start now and it should run like an iPhone or a photo camera would be connected.
Double Twist application is also used for sync-ing your Android Phone with OS X Mac when it comes to put photos from the Mac in the Android phone.
In double Twist you should be able to see the Photo Library on your Mac. Also you should see there all your albums and the Pictures folder. This kind of sync-ing Android with Mac OS X is very simple. You just drag and drop the photos from your OS X running Mac onto your Android Phone.
When finished sync-ing pictures from OS X Mac to Android, just unmount the phone and that's it.
How to sync music from Android to Mac OS X?
iPhone has a media player which could be compared with the one on the Android phones. The main difference is that iPhone play iTunes. Most probably, you will need to transfer some iTunes from your Mac in the android phone. In order to sync the iTunes from Mac to Android you have to use double Twister this time, too.
You have two options here:
1. you can sync the Android phone with the Mac by creating a playlist with double Twist which would include your favorite music. When finished you just drag your playlist from Mac and drop it in Android.
2. you can also import a playlist from Mac in your Android. This also implies using the double Twist application. But you must be sure you have already created that playlist in Mac, before launching double Twister.
How to sync ringtones from Mac to Android?
Android smartphones are capable of setting ringtones from almost every type of audio file. So after you sync-ed your iTunes from Mac to Android, you can set one of them as the ringtone of that Android phone.
In order to do that, you have to go in the folder where you saved the music in Android, hold you finger on a track and on the menu it will appear, select "Use as phone ringtone".
How to sync Android with videos from Mac?
You must do the same procedure as you have done when you sync-ed your photos from Mac to Android. Use doule Twister to drag and drop the video from Android to Mac. They will be stored in the Gallery of your Adroid phone.
How to sync Android with contacts from Mac?
If your contacts are stored in your Mac Address Book, then you have to sync them with Google. Go to Adress Book on your Mac, then enter the Preferences menu. There you have to select the Accounts Tab. In this Tab you should check the "Synchronize to Google" option. In order to configure it, you should insert your Google Gmail address and password.
How to sync Android calendar with the one on Mac?
This will be done in the same way you have sync-ed your Mac contacts with Android.
So, you will need to open iCal in Mac and move all your events to Google Calendar. In order to do that, open iCal, go to the Preferences menu and select the Accounts tab. In this tab, click on the "+" button (low left corner of that tab) and make a new calendar.
Log your Google Gmail address and password there and choose a Google account type.
A few facts about Mac:
Mac is a series of different families of personal computers designed, developed and sold by Apple . The first Macintosh, the Macintosh 128K , was launched January 24, 1984. It is the first commercial success for a computer using a mouse and a graphic user interface (instead of a command line interface ).
Mac replaces the Apple II as the main product from Apple. However, Apple's market share fall, before a renewal of the Mac in 1998. At that time Apple released the all-in-one consumer desktop, called iMac , which allows Apple to escape a very probable bankruptcy. It became the very successful brand for the company.
In 2011, the Mac market covers the artistic professions, education and individuals with the following models:
– the iMac (in an updated version);
– the Mac mini (a small office or home computer entry level);
– the Mac Pro (workstation);
– MacBook , MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops ;
– Xserve server.
The production of Mac is based on a model of vertical integration : Apple is responsible for the design of its machines and some of their components and software based on pre-installing its own operating system on any Mac. This contrasts with most computers sold with different operating systems, where many manufacturers are responsible to create materials designed to use the operating system from another company. Between 1984 and 1994, Mac was operating with processors from the Motorola 68000 family , before using, between 1994 and 2006, PowerPC processors from AIM Alliance . Since 2006, Macs uses x86 processors from Intel .
To operate the Mac computer, Apple has developed an entire family of specific operating systems. Based on a graphical user interface, they are known as "System" (versions 1 to 7), before becoming Mac OS (8 and 9). At the dawn of the 200o year, this line is replaced by Mac OS X , developed by NeXTSTEP . On Mac Intel microprocessor, it is possible to install operating systems like Microsoft Windows , Linux , FreeBSD and many others. With PowerPC processors, however it was already possible to install UNIX OS
Facts about Android:
This is the OS which Google created in order to be used on mobile phones. It has his roots in Linux and therefore is a very reliable operating. system. Android platform is in fact a Linux virtual machine with features created especially for givving maximum performance on smartphones.
The applications for Android can be downloaded by smartphones users from Android Market. This platform contains free and payed applications which are checked in order to raise on the demands of the Android OS. Of course, you can find here also a lot of 3rd party applications created for Android mobile devices.
Android has a lot of free services like: Google sync, Gmail, google maps etc. The web browser in Android is based on the PC application Google Chrome.
I hope this tutorial on How to Sync Android with Mac OS X was useful for you.

Epigenetic regulation of gene dosage by genomic imprinting of some autosomal genes facilitates normal reproductive development in both mammals and flowering plants. While many imprinted genes have been identified and intensively studied in mammals, smaller numbers have been characterized in flowering plants, mostly in Arabidopsis thaliana. Identification of additional imprinted loci in flowering plants by genome-wide screening for parent-of-origin specific uniparental expression in seed tissues will facilitate our understanding of the origins and functions of imprinted genes in flowering plants.
cDNA-AFLP can detect allele-specific expression that is parent-of-origin dependent for expressed genes in which restriction site polymorphisms exist in the transcripts derived from each allele. Using a genome-wide cDNA-AFLP screen surveying allele-specific expression of 4500 transcript-derived fragments, we report the identification of 52 maternally expressed genes (MEGs) displaying parent-of-origin dependent expression patterns in Arabidopsis siliques containing F1 hybrid seeds (3, 4 and 5 days after pollination). We identified these MEGs by developing a bioinformatics tool (GenFrag) which can directly determine the identities of transcript-derived fragments from (i) their size and (ii) which selective nucleotides were added to the primers used to generate them. Hence, GenFrag facilitates increased throughput for genome-wide cDNA-AFLP fragment analyses. The 52 MEGs we identified were further filtered for high expression levels in the endosperm relative to the seed coat to identify the candidate genes most likely representing novel imprinted genes expressed in the endosperm of Arabidopsis thaliana. Expression in seed tissues of the three top-ranked candidate genes, ATCDC48, PDE120 and MS5-like, was confirmed by Laser-Capture Microdissection and qRT-PCR analysis. Maternal-specific expression of these genes in Arabidopsis thaliana F1 seeds was confirmed via allele-specific transcript analysis across a range of different accessions. Differentially methylated regions were identified adjacent to ATCDC48 and PDE120, which may represent candidate imprinting control regions. Finally, we demonstrate that expression levels of these three genes in vegetative tissues are MET1-dependent, while their uniparental maternal expression in the seed is not dependent on MET1.
Using a cDNA-AFLP transcriptome profiling approach, we have identified three genes, ATCDC48, PDE120 and MS5-like which represent novel maternally expressed imprinted genes in the Arabidopsis thaliana seed. The extent of overlap between our cDNA-AFLP screen for maternally expressed imprinted genes, and other screens for imprinted and endosperm-expressed genes is discussed.

Hey folks – as some may remember I write the Chargers blog over at NFLSpot.com. Just posted an analysis of Shawne Merriman's belated decision to get his knee cut on.
Check it out (and other stuff I write during the week): HERE
Lots of good articles on teams there – check it out folks!
The gist of the article is: Merriman leaving is tough but could be a good thing for the season once the Chargers adjust.

James O'Connor joined London Irish after his Wallabies contract was terminated last year. Photo: Getty Images
London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith says that Australian rugby's prodigal son James O'Connor is ready to return home to prepare for the World Cup and become a Wallaby stalwart.
Speaking to The Telegraph in London following O'Connor's final game in the English Premiership, Smith says the 23-year-old is ready to fulfil his potential.
"Since the age of 18 he's lived in a goldfish bowl in Australia. He's been the golden-haired boy and everyone's made comments on his every move. Not every young bloke makes all the right moves but, since he's been here [in London], he hasn't put a foot out of line," Smith said.
O'Connor has represented the Wallabies in 44 Tests. Photo: Getty Images
For O'Connor to play in next year's World Cup he will need to return to Australia and find a Super Rugby franchise. At this stage the struggling Queensland Reds are the only Australian team to have expressed an interest.
Smith says O'Connor's impending return will see the utility back reach the 100 Test mark for the Wallabies.
"He's an international player and he should be playing international rugby," Smith said. "He's only 23 years old and he has the potential to go on and get another 100 Tests for Australia. He could be right up there as one of the most capped players of all time.
Director of rugby at London Irish, Brian Smith. Photo: Getty Images
"He's back on the horse now and he's kept his nose clean. He's behaved himself and he's demonstrated to the national coaches that he can do that. Now he needs to find an Aussie province and work his way back into the team. There are a lot of young talented players and it's very competitive. But he's a quality player and I think he's done enough. He's grown up a lot over the last few months."
O'Connor, who has played 44 Tests for the Wallabies, will turn out for Toulon in France's Top 14 competition next season before returning to Australia at the beginning of next year.

Busy Thoughts: My Intention Due to the overwhelming response from fans and industry alike, Busy Signal's benchmark album Reggae Music Again will be available digitally and in stores throughout the Caribbean on April 10. The U.S. in-store release date remains on April 24. This forthcoming album on VP Records shows the dancehall artist in a new light as he pays homage to his roots with a full set of traditional reggae songs. Better known for his sharp-spitting rhymes on hardcore dancehall hits like "Tic Toc" (remixed by M.I.A. and Rye Rye) and "Wine Pon De Edge," Busy Signal emerges as a charismatic roots reggae artist. The intricate, multi-layered one-drop rhythms heard on Reggae Music Again werecreated by some of Jamaica's most acclaimed musicians (Kirk Bennette, Aeion Hoilette, Lamont Savory, Kevon Webster, Robbie Lyn and Dean Fraser), and recorded live at Kingston's legendary Tuff Gong studios. Even though this is a stark departure from the sequenced beats that have dominated most of Busy's previous material, it is not the first time fans will embrace his singing. In 2011, Busy covered the classic country song "The Gambler," originally sung by Kenny Rogers for the Reggae's Gone Country compilation, and his ballad-like renditions of the 1985 Commodores' hit "Night Shift" and Phil Collin's "One More Night" off his last album D.O.B. were well-received and showed his versatility as an artist. All these songs were catalysts and motivation for his traditional approach heard on Reggae Music Again. "Being a Jamaican, I feel like it is my duty to highlight and contribute to reggae music, and with the encouragement of my management and musicians who played on this record, it all came together," states Busy. "This album is like a renaissance for me, a rebirth - reggae style," he adds. In addition to the full-length album, VP Records will release a vinyl companion piece, entitled REGGAE Music Dubb'n Again, available April 17, special for Record Store Day on April 21. The exclusive LP will feature extended dub mixes for six of the album's songs, which are all mixed and engineered by Shane Brown and his legendary father Errol Brown.

Princess Kaiulani Showtimes and Tickets
Read Movie Reviews about Princess Kaiulani Write a Movie Review for Princess Kaiulani
Release Date: 2010-05-14
Genre: Drama,
Rating: PG
Duration: 1hr 37min
Set against the dramatic island backdrop of Hawaii and based on the inspiring true story, Princess Kaiulani is a breathtaking romance about an unlikely heroine and her unwavering fight to defend the independence of her people. In1888, Hawaii was a paradise teetering on the brink of civil unrest. The tide had turned against the long—incumbent royal family, under the malevolent influence of a rebel party with links to the American government. Within months, the Palace was overthrown, and the royals exiled. Among them was the beautiful Princess Kaiulani. Scarcely 13 years old, she was separated from her family and her homeland and for her own safety, sent to a climate and a country that couldn't be more different from Hawaii — Victorian England. Coming to terms with her fate, Kaiulani underwent a harsh and testing education that equipped her with a sense of honor, duty and pride. What's more, she fell in love, with the spirited and rebellious young Englishman, Clive Davies. Emerging from her childhood, and inspired by her blossoming romance, Kaiulani realized she had to bring an end to the injustices suffered by her people and set to sail for America, to meet President Grover Cleveland, to prove that she and her people were not the "barbarians" portrayed by the American press. Princess Kaiulani combines the profound natural beauty of Hawaii with the sweeping romance of a classic Merchant Ivory epic.

If you're thinking about buying a home, now may seem like a tempting time to finally take the plunge. Mortgage rates are the lowest they've been in a year, and we keep hearing that rates are expected to rise over the next several years.
However, there are a few reasons you might not want to buy a house this summer.
Don't buy when everyone else is
According to realtor.com, the spring and summer months are the best time to sell a home, because that's when the most buyers are in the market.
Families like to move when their kids aren't in school, and it is just more convenient to move in nice weather than in frigid winter weather. In fact, about 50% of all home sales take place during the summer alone.
Like with any investment or purchase, buying when everyone else wants to buy is rarely the best idea. Sellers generally see more activity during the summer, which means more offers and the ability to hold out for the price they really want.
Realtor.com also says winter is the least favorable time of year for sellers. Generally, those sellers who put their homes on the market in the winter are more eager to move, and are more willing to make deals. As a buyer, the lower demand also means you'll get more personal attention from professionals like real estate agents, home inspectors, and closing attorneys, making the whole process easier and more pleasant.
How's your credit?
While lending standards have loosened a bit since the mortgage crisis ended, they are still very tight on a historical basis.
It's true that you can qualify for an FHA loan with less-than-perfect credit, but that's not always a good idea. An FHA loan might even be much more expensive than renting a similar home, but I'll discuss that in more detail shortly.
In order to qualify for good interest rates on a conventional loan, you'll need a FICO score of 700 or above. Below that level, it becomes much more expensive to borrow. For instance, a score of 720 (considered to be very good) should get you a 30-year rate of about 3.99% as of this writing, but a 650 will cause the rate to jump to around 4.81%, according to myfico.com. On a $200,000 mortgage, this is the difference between monthly payments of $954 and $1,051.
If you have a credit score that's not excellent, your best bet may be to focus your efforts on improving your credit. If you can save a few hundred dollars a month by waiting until your credit score is a little better, it could make more sense to rent for the time being.
For information on improving your FICO score (the one most lenders use), there is a guide on the myfico.com website that provides details of what makes up your score and how to improve it.
If you don't have enough cash, don't buy!
Unless you have a pretty good stockpile of cash to put toward your home, buying might be a lot more expensive than you think.
There are some low down payment options out there, mainly FHA loans, but they come at a cost. And now may be a bad time to get in, since the costs associated with FHA loans are pretty high and can increase further at any time.
Currently, to get an FHA loan, you have to pay both an upfront mortgage insurance premium and monthly payments. You used to be able to drop the monthly mortgage insurance payments after reaching a loan-to-value ratio of 78%, but now must be paid for the life of the loan if you put 10% or less down. The upfront mortgage payment costs 1.75% of the loan amount and an annual premium of up to 1.35% of the loan amount is added to your monthly payments.
So, on a $200,000 loan, you can add $3,500 to your closing costs and $225 to every monthly payment. That's not to mention the loan itself will have a higher balance if you only put a small amount down. Depending on how small your down payment is, you could easily pay $500 extra per month versus a conventional loan for the exact same house.
The bottom line is, if you don't have 20% to put down on a home, you're probably better off renting for now and saving as much as you can.
In a nutshell
Your house will probably be the largest purchase of your life, so it's important to wait for the best time to buy.
While nobody has a crystal ball that tells us what the housing market will do, it's easy to see how you might want to wait for fewer buyers to compete with, more cash to put down, and better credit to make your mortgage cheaper and easier to get. It makes the most sense to buy a house if it's cheaper than rent would be, and if you get these three parts of the buying process right it certainly should be.
Is this a better investment than buying a home?
Recent tax increases have affected nearly every American taxpayer. But with the right planning, you can take steps to take control of your taxes and potentially even lower your tax bill. In our brand-new special report "The IRS Is Daring You to Make This Investment Now!," you'll learn about the simple strategy to take advantage of a little-known IRS rule.

In 1925, astronomer Edwin Hubble published his findings—based on observations made through the largest telescope of its time, the 100-inch Hooker telescope at California's Mount Wilson Observatory—proving that the Milky Way is not the only galaxy in the universe, and that there are billions of other galaxies in the universe, each with billions of stars. Furthermore, he asserted, the observable universe is not static, it's expanding, a conclusion that led to the wide confirmation and acceptance in the scientific community of the so-called Big Bang theory. In 1990, NASA launched the Hubble telescope 320 miles into space. 20 years later, the public can now see for itself what the Hubble telescope and the scientists who use it have seen—not just in photos, but in the most spectacular fashion allowed by current projection technology, the IMAX dome at the Science Museum of Minnesota. Hubble, the 50-minute Omnivision film currently playing at the SMM, offers an unprecedented journey to the edge of the knowable universe. If you are at all interested in life's biggest questions—Is there a God? Why do we exist? Is there life elsewhere? Is human life special? —it is an experience that should not be missed.
You know that feeling of awe and dismay you get when you're camping in the Boundary Waters and the sky is filled with an unimaginable number of stars: awe that there is so much out there, dismay that there's even more out there than you can possibly imagine? Multiply that feeling by 100 billion or so and you'll begin to appreciate the disorientation many people are likely to have after seeing Hubble. We all know it's just a film, and even after the most compelling movie people are supposed to leave the theater and resume their normal lives. But if, after seeing Hubble, you give even a sliver of thought to the door of perception through which you've just peeked, it's possible your life (or what you think of as your life) will never be the same again. Before the money shots, you'll have to sit through 40 minutes of history about NASA, the telescope, and the brave astronauts who have fixed and maintained it over the past 20 years—but the wait is worth it. Hubble's magnificent eye literally takes you to the edge of time, where light generated 10 billion years ago is now reaching Earth. In addition to eye-popping images of nebulas and galaxies throughout the universe, it introduces you to numbers (billions of galaxies, trillions of stars) that are mind-bogglingly huge. Huge beyond comprehension. So huge that understanding what they really mean is going to take us (human beings) some time.(Hubble photo of the Omega Centauri star cluster) Whether you're a religious person or not, Hubble invites some profound reflection, because either way you look at it—God's creation or a spontaneous explosion of godless quantum physics—the universe is a miracle. If you are religious, the film is likely to confirm your belief in the infinite glory of God. If you are an atheist, agnostic, or humanist, it will likely amplify that nagging notion of cosmic insignificance, though it may also add some urgency to the notion that Earth is the only hotel in the universe for human life, so we'd better take care of it.
The way we see the universe has a direct impact on how we see ourselves, so how the images from the Hubble telescope inform and challenge our knowledge of the universe is likely to have a direct effect on our evolving view of the meaning and purpose of life on Earth. It was only a few hundred years ago that Galileo was imprisoned for claiming to have scientific proof that the earth revolves around the sun—and it's a safe bet that knowledge gleaned from Hubble's images is going to slowly but drastically alter our perception of ourselves and the universe. For many scientists and physicists, it already has. Indeed, as astonishing as Hubble's images are, and as grand as the philosophical questions these images beg may be, they are nothing compared to ideas and theories that today's scientists, particularly physicists, are beginning to openly discuss as potential keys to understanding the universe. To cite just one example, Stephen Hawking's latest book, The Grand Design, declares both God and philosophy dead (again), and claims that he and his fellow physicists are now holding the torch of truth. Fittingly enough, God's death comes about from natural causes, through such mind-warping ideas as M-theory, which, among other things, posits that our universe is not the only universe in existence; it's only one universe among many, all of which are co-existing at the same time, simultaneously playing out various possibilities of physics, creating an unknown number of parallel universes.
The television show Fringe—in which two parallel but slightly different universes exist simultaneously in different dimensions—is based on this idea. But weird as Fringe is, it doesn't begin to reflect how bizarre things in this world really are, according to Hawking and his ilk. For example, says Hawking, it is entirely possible for new universes to spontaneously emerge all by themselves; no help from an omnisciently intelligent creator is required. This is an apparent retreat from the views he espoused in his best-selling 1988 book, A Brief History of Time, a more in line with the direction he was already heading in 2001's The Universe in a Nutshell. If you take what Hawking says seriously, though, it means he's pulling a Galileo on us, proposing a description of reality that directly conflicts with the version to which most people adhere. In another time, Hawking would be jailed for his heresy; in our time, he may end up winning a Nobel Prize.
The cultural conversation between science and religion will continue long after Hubble's batteries die, but before that happens, go see Hubble, the movie. Even if the philosophical implications don't intrigue you, the film also reminds us what a magnificent technological achievement the Hubble telescope itself is, launched as it was before the Internet even existed, back when this country was capable of imagining and building seemingly impossible machines that did more than play apps and music, all for a mere $1.5 billion. If we did it once, we can do it again, but it will take leadership of the sort that has been hard to come by of late. Cosmologists may be interested in finding out if there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, but the more pressing problem is finding intelligent life on this planet. Every year, it seems harder and harder to find.Hubble continues at the Science Museum of Minnesota through Feb. 17, 2011.(Hubble photo of the Tarantula Nebula)

World famous from the 1940's to the 1970's when his best-selling books such as The Art of Loving, The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness and To Have or To Be? were published, Fromm, as has been has pointed out, "consistently devoted himself and worked to one single goal: the propagation of a great visionary hope for a better and more dignified life for all of humanity."
This documentary will explore Fromm's ideas. It will trace the events of his life that helped shape his unique thinking. It will explore and discuss his changing perspectives, personal life and various writings. In doing so, it will show that his relevance only grows as time goes by and humanity faces the challenges of this new century.

My review of the new Agoraphobic Nosebleed
…is now over at the Washington City Paper, print version out tomorrow. I liked the album. Some of the diehard grindcore freaks on the Internets are already all pissed off because Agorapocalypse isn't, well, pissed-off enough, but I have a feeling they'll be in the minority. It's a good record.
Things that didn't make that review due to a pretty strict word limit:
- The album starts off all thrashy and grindy, but then seems to slow down as a whole by track 5.
- "Question of Integrity" ends with a drum solo, which is implicitly hilarious since all the drums on the album are programmed.
- Those programmed drums sound really good. In the past they clearly didn't sound real, although that wasn't really a problem since it almost seemed intentional (after all the band was going for unrealistic bpm heights).
- Kat's vocals fucking slay. I think her voice might annoy some of the old fans, but as a fan coming from as much a death metal as a grindcore background, I love what she adds to ANb's sound.
- "Moral Distortion" ends with the quote, "My National Enquirer says that musicians cannot play a single note unless they eat drugs first!" Which I just find really hilarious for some reason.
That's all. Fun album. Out next Tuesday, and the vinyl version contains a bonus track apparently.

Acute Effects of the Antibiotic Streptomycin on Neural Network Activity and Pharmacological Responses
Date: December 2014
Creator: Zeng, Wei Rong
Description: The purpose of this study is to find out that if antibiotic streptomycin decreases neuronal network activity or affects the pharmacological responses. The experiments in this study were conducted via MEA (multi-electrode array) technology which records neuronal activity from devices that have multiple small electrodes, serve as neural interfaces connecting neurons to electronic circuitry. The result of this study shows that streptomycin lowered the spike production of neuronal network, and also, sensitization was seen when neuronal network pre-exposed to streptomycin.

N-Acylethanolamine (NAE) Profiles Change During Arabidopsis Thaliana Seed Germination and Seedling Growth
Date: August 2006
Creator: Wiant, William C.
Description: An understanding of the potential roles as lipid mediators of a family of bioactive metabolites called N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) depends on their accurate identification and quantification. The levels of 18C unsaturated NAEs (e.g. NAE18:2, NAE 18:3, etc.) in wild-type seeds (about 2000 ng/g fw) generally decreased by about 80% during germination and post-germinative growth. In addition, results suggest NAE-degradative fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) expression does not play a major role in normal NAE metabolism as previously thought. Seedlings germinated and grown in the presence of abscisic acid (ABA), an endogenous plant hormone, exhibited growth arrest and secondary dormancy, similar to the treatment of seedlings with exogenous Nlauroylethanolamine (NAE12:0). ABA-mediated growth arrest was associated with higher levels of unsaturated NAEs. Overall, these results are consistent with the concept that NAE metabolism is activated during seed germination and suggest that the reduction in unsaturated NAE levels is under strict temporal control and may be a requirement for normal seed germination and post-germinative growth.

N-Acylethanolamines and Plant Phospholipase D
Date: December 1998
Creator: Brown, Shea Austin
Description: Recently, three distinct isoforms of phospholipase D (PLD) were identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. PLD α represents the well-known form found in plants, while PLD β and γ have been only recently discovered (Pappan et al., 1997b; Qin et al., 1997). These isoforms differ in substrate selectivity and cofactors required for activity. Here, I report that PLD β and γ isoforms were active toward N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE), but PLD α was not. The ability of PLD β and γ to hydrolyze NAPE marks a key difference from PLD α. N-acylethanolamines (NAE), the hydrolytic products of NAPE by PLD β and γ, inhibited PLD α from castor bean and cabbage. Inhibition of PLD α by NAE was dose-dependent and inversely proportional to acyl chain length and degree of unsaturation. Enzyme kinetic analysis suggested non-competitive inhibition of PLD α by NAE 14:0. In addition, a 1.2-kb tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cDNA fragment was isolated that possessed a 74% amino acid identity to Arabidopsis PLD β indicating that this isoform is expressed in tobacco cells. Collectively, these results provide evidence for NAE producing PLD activities and suggest a possible regulatory role for NAE with respect to PLD α.

Adaptive Advantages of Carotenoid Pigments in Alpine and Subalpine Copepod Responses to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Induced Phototoxicity
Date: May 2010
Creator: Kovach, Matthew James
Description: Alpine zooplankton are exposed to a variety of stressors in their natural environment including ultraviolet radiation. Physiological coping mechanisms such as the accumulation of photoprotective compounds provide these zooplankton protection from many of these stressors. Elevated levels of carotenoid compounds such as astaxanthin have been shown to help zooplankton survive longer when exposed to ultraviolet radiation presumably due to the strong antioxidant properties of carotenoid compounds. This antioxidant capacity is important because it may ameliorate natural and anthropogenic stressor-induced oxidative stress. While previous researchers have shown carotenoid compounds impart increased resistance to ultraviolet radiation in populations of zooplankton, little work has focused on the toxicological implications of PAH induced phototoxicity on zooplankton containing high levels of carotenoid compounds. This thesis discusses research studying the role that carotenoid compounds play in reducing PAH induced phototoxicity. By sampling different lakes at elevations ranging from 9,500' to 12,700' in the front range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, copepod populations containing different levels of carotenoid compounds were obtained. These populations were then challenged with fluoranthene and ultraviolet radiation. Results discussed include differences in survival and levels of lipid peroxidation among populations exhibiting different levels of carotenoid compounds, and the toxicological and ecological implications of ...

Alterations in Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (Faah) Transcript Levels and Activity Lead to Changes in the Abiotic Stress Susceptibility of Arabidopsis Thaliana
Date: May 2012
Creator: Gonzalez, Gabriel
Description: N-Acylethanolamines (NAEs) are a class of bioactive lipids, and FAAH is one of the enzymes responsible for degrading NAEs in both plants and animals. in plants, FAAH appears to be closely associated with ABA, a phytohormone which has long been associated with plant stress responses, since the overexpression of FAAH in Arabidopsis results in ABA hypersensitivity. Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that alterations in FAAH transcript levels will result in altered stress responses in plants. to investigate this hypothesis experiments were carried out in which wild type (WT), FAAH-overexpressing (OE), and T-DNA insertional FAAH knockouts of Arabidopsis (faah) were grown in MS media under stress conditions. the stress conditions tested included chilling stress, heavy metal stress induced by cadmium or copper, nutrient limitations induced by low phosphorus or low nitrogen, salt stress induced with NaCl, and osmotic stress induced with mannitol. the OE plants were consistently hypersensitive to all stress conditions in relation to wild type plants. Inactive FAAH overexpressors did not have the hypersensitivity to the salt and osmotic stress of the active OE plants and were instead tolerant to these stresses. FAAH2 (faah2) knockouts and FAAH 1 and 2 double knockouts (faah 1+2) were based on some ...

Analysis of the One-Horned Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros Unicornis) Habitat in the Royal Chitwan National Park, Nepal.
Date: December 2005
Creator: Thapa, Vivek
Description: This study analyzes the remaining suitable habitat of the one-horned rhinoceros, Rhinoceros unicornis, in Royal Chitwan National Park of Nepal. An April 2003 Landsat image was classified into eight land cover types: wetland, sand, water, mixed forest, sal forest, agriculture, settlement, and grassland. This image was converted into habitat suitability maps using cover, food, and water. The rhinoceros prefers grassland habitat with oxbow lakes and closed canopy during the monsoon season. Nominal values of five parameters were used to create a map of habitat suitability index. The map was categorized into four habitat classes: highly unsuitable, unsuitable, moderately suitable habitat, and suitable. Landscape metrics, patch metrics and class metrics associated with habitat were determined through the use of FRAGSTATS.

Anatomical and Morphological Responses of Cardiospermum Halicacabum L. (Balloon Vine), to Four Levels of Water Availability
Date: May 2011
Creator: Dempsey, Matthew Anthony
Description: C. halicacabum (Sapindaceae) is an invasive plant that is considered a nuisance species in Texas riparian environments. Little is known of the tolerance of C. halicacabum to flooding and drought; however, this information may provide insight into the characteristics that contribute to C. halicacabum purported invasiveness. C. halicacabum seedlings (n = 92) were exposed to one of four levels of water availability (flooded, saturated, intermediate and dry) over six weeks under greenhouse conditions. Plant performance was affected by water availability; however, there was no effect on survivorship. Flooded and saturated plants exhibited morphological adaptations; producing adventitious roots, hypertrophy, and aerenchyma tissue. Morphological measures, anatomical responses, and patterns of biomass allocation all indicate that C. halicacabum is able to survive periodic inundation, perform in saturation, and establish and thrive on the drier end of a moisture gradient.

Applications of Remote Sensing and GIS to Modeling Fire for Vegetative Restoration in Northern Arizona
Date: August 2003
Creator: Hardison, Tanya
Description: An accurate fire model is a useful tool in predicting the behavior of a prescribed fire. Simulation of fire requires an extensive amount of data and can be accomplished best using GIS applications. This paper demonstrates integrative procedures of using of ArcGIS™, ERDAS Imagine™, GPS, and FARSITE© to predict prescribed fire behavior on the Kaibab-Paiute Reservation. ArcGIS was used to create a database incorporating all variables into a common spatial reference system and format for the FARSITE model. ArcGIS Spatial Analyst was then used to select optimal burn sites for simulation. Our predictions will be implemented in future interagency efforts towards vegetative restoration on the reservation.

Aspartate Transcarbamoylase of Aeromonas Hydrophila
Date: December 2000
Creator: Higginbotham, Leah
Description: This study focused on the enzyme, aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) from A. hydrophila, a Gram-negative bacterium found in fresh water. The molecular mass of the ATCase holoenzyme from A. hydrophila is 310 kDa. The enzyme is likely composed of 6 catalytic polypeptides of 34 kDa each and 6 regulatory polypeptides of 17 kDa each. The velocity-substrate curve for A. hydrophila ATCase is sigmoidal for both aspartate and carbamoylphosphate. The Km for aspartate was the highest to date for an enteric bacterium at 97.18 mM. The Km for carbamoylphosphate was 1.18 mM. When heated to 60 ºC, the specific activity of the enzyme dropped by more than 50 %. When heated to 100 ºC, the enzyme showed no activity. The enzyme's activity was inhibited by ATP, CTP or UTP.

The above title, "How to Get a Grant from NEH," is not my own, but from an article in the July/August issue of Humanities magazine, now available online at the NEH Web site. If you've not had the opportunity to attend a grants workshop or discuss a project with a program officer, this is a great introduction to some of the most important--and often most overlooked--bits of advice when applying for a grant (such as "Read the guidelines!"). Also included is an overview of the review process, an introduction to Grants.gov, and the reminder that NEH program officers are always available to answer questions. Highly recommended reading for all potential applicants.
The NEH's Division of Research is looking to fill one or more vacant program officer positions. As a program officer, you will advise applicants about NEH grant programs, review and analyze grant proposals, select panelists, attend conferences, perform other outreach events on behalf of the NEH, help the NEH formulate new grant programs, etc.
The Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) has recently released a report entitled
I wanted to pass on a grant announcement from our colleagues at the IMLS. They have recently announced an award for the "Digital Humanities Model Internship Program."
We are happy to announce that the NEH and the DFG will be offering two new joint grant programs.
On May 8th, I took the train up to New York to attend a workshop on the topic of "Sustainability and Revenue Models for Online Academic Resources." The workshop was co-sponsored by JISC's Strategic Content Alliance and Ithaka.
I want to remind everyone that NEH's Division of Preservation and Access recently announced the new deadline for our Humanities Collections and Resources program.
The NEH's Office of Digital Humanities (ODH) recently launched a Humanities High Performance Computing (HHPC) initiative. As part of this initiative we're offering several grant programs and other opportunities to provide time on the U.S. Department of Energy's high performance computers, as well as grant money and training. NEH established this program to encourage humanities scholars to think about how high performance computers might help them in their research, and to take advantage of existing high performance computer resources.
In the May 8th edition of HPCwire, John West wrote a piece called "High Performance Humanities" that discusses the NEH's new HHPC initiative. It was great to see coverage of the new initiative in a leading HPC publication. One of our stated goals here in the Office of Digital Humanities is to inspire collaborations across disciplines. My hope is that the computing specialists who are regular readers of HPCwire will take an interest in the many computing challenges we have here in the humanities. In a similar vein, I also note that the Text Analysis Developers Alliance has just announced a new competition called T-REX that hopes to inspire text analysis projects, including those that take advantage of high performance computing. Over the next few years it will be interesting to see what HPC can bring to humanities research.

"Lupin the 3rd: Voyage to Danger" is a TV movie based on the manga. Inspector Zenigata is removed from the Lupin case due to his inability to actually catch him. The case is given to Keith, who has no problems killing Lupin if the situation calls for it. A despondent Zenigata drinks with Lupin and Jigen, warning them about Keith. Lupin decides that they should help Zenigata on his new case: investigating a group of arms dealers known as Shot Shell. They end up having to steal a submarine and scientist Karen Korinsky, to pilot the vessel. But she has some unfinished business with Jigen. Will Lupin and the gang get out of this caper with their lives intact?
The subplot with Jigen and Karen feels pretty tacked on and isn't sure if it wants Karen to be a potential tragic love interest or a symbol of one of Jigen's mistakes catching up to him. The subplot really should have focused on how Inspector Zenigata may have much more in common with Lupin than he realizes and that if the circumstances were different, he may have been a loyal member of Lupin's gang. The writer really should have made Keith more of a foil to Zenigata not only in his ruthlessness and lack of morals, but that he really doesn't care about Lupin, viewing him as just another criminal to stop. It would have been funny to see him making fun of Zenigata for prioritizing Lupin's capture over all of the other cases that he's working on. Heck, it's surprising that Zenigata wasn't taken off the Lupin case permanently because his superiors were concerned that his obsession was negatively affecting his workload. Despite the missed opportunities to explore Inspector Zenigata's relationship with Lupin, "Voyage to Danger" is a decent film for Honolulu "Lupin" fans to watch.

If you have been watching "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," you are aware of the selfie obsession Kim Kardashian has. During the family's trip to Thailand she was seen posing and taking several photos to create a book for now-husband, Kanye West. There was even an uncomfortable scene where step-brother Brody Jenner walked in on a very saucy selfie shot. Can you say awkward? According to an August 8 report from E! Online, Kim Kardashian will be releasing a new book in April 2015 titled "Selfish." The book will be filled with selfies Kardashian has taken over time.
Fans aren't shocked the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star is using her body to further her career. Kim Kardashian shot to fame because of a sex tape she did with ex-boyfriend Ray J. While she would like to forget where she came from, the video is still contributing to her income regularly. Critics are ragging on her for the book, but the book sales will be rolling in with or without support from the outside world.
Kim Kardashian's Twitter page is filled with selfies and her cover photo is a collage of various photos of her taken at different times. While the book deal may seem weird to some, the company producing the book sought out Kardashian. The hardcover will retail for just $20, which won't break the bank. It will be interesting to see how much the book will gross over time, especially after the initial hype goes away.
During "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," Kim Kardashian has scaled herself way back. Kanye West is a private man, so fans are wondering how he feels about the selfie book being released. Some are shocked that he is even allowing it, since he doesn't like Kardashian to be so revealing while on the show. Money talks, and it looks like it convinced Kardashian to release the book.

FutureDerm Vitamin C Eye Cream 10.0 is designed to be the best.
It accomplishes a heretofore impossible feat - delivering 10% vitamin C (as L-ascorbic acid) and 1% vitamin E to the eye area without irritating most skin types. The creamy, hydrating formula treats undereye wrinkles, creases, and dark circles in as few as 10 days. For daytime and/or nighttime use.
Vitamin C has been clinically proven in independent research to brighten skin, alleviate the appearance of dark circles and age spots, and even skin tone with regular use over time. The undereye area is no exception, particularly in dark circles that are caused by hyperpigmentation (rather than, say, blood pooling in the area).
However, it is difficult to deliver 10% vitamin C as L-ascorbic acid + 1% vitamin E to the eye area without running the risk of irritation — until now. FutureDerm CE Eye Cream 10.0 is a creamy, hydrating formula that will not irritate most skin types. It is designed for the undereye area. Results in as little as 10 days. For daytime and/or nighttime use.
Directions: Gently apply one pump of eye cream around eye area. Avoid direct eye contact.

One of the most important ways a cyclist can protect themselves from injury is by wearing a helmet whenever they ride a bicycle.
Always look for a label on the helmet that indicated it has been approved by the American Standards Institute.
Choosing the color is also important. White, orange, red and yellow are the top color choices because they provide the most visibility to others driving near the cyclist.
Be sure the helmet is securely attached under the chin using the nylon strap attached to it. Adjust the strap so it fits snuggly but not too tight. Too loose of a strap is dangerous for the helmet may wobble or slip down over your eyes making the riders visibility less and making them remove a hand from the handle bars to push it back which can make the cyclist swerve unexpectedly.
Always select a helmet for its size, shape, color and standards as well as getting one that feels right on your head.
Ride safely!

Arrest in Attack on High School Student
The Haifa Magistrates Court ruled Friday to end a media gag order, and to reveal that police have arrested a suspect in an attack that led to a teenage girl's mysterious injury. The suspect is a resident of the Sharon region.
The suspect's identity has not yet been revealed. He was arrested on Monday, and is suspected of attempted kidnapping.
Sixteen-year-old Yeshua Yosefson was found comatose at the side of a road three months ago. Police initially believed the high school student had been the victim of a hit-and-run accident, but further examination led them to believe that she had jumped or been pushed from a moving car.
Yeshua has since regained consciousness, but does not remember details of what happened prior to her injury. However, what she does recall has strengthened suspicions that she jumped from a car as the driver attempted to attack her.
Two of her fellow students further strengthened those suspicions when they told police that a man who had been acting suspiciously had offered them a ride shortly before Yosefson disappeared.
Yeshua spoke to Besheva magazine two weeks ago and warned other youth not to hitchhike. "From my experience I learned that it could happen to anyone," she said. "Thank G-d, I was lucky that I was being watched over but you cannot rely on a miracle."

GTA San Andreas
The Feltzer is a car that is available for use in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV. It is a two-door car, and can be used as a lowrider with the appropriate modifications installed. In San Andreas, the Feltzer is based off of the real-life Mercedes-Benz R107. It has a good top speed, but its handling is rather unsatisfactory as its high speed and light weight act against it; also it has rather slow acceleration. In San Andreas, it can be found in San Fierro and sometimes Las Venturas.
The Feltzer is a target vehicle in the first Import/Export mission at the San Fierro docks.
In GTA IV, it is more similar to a Mercedes SL as well as the SLK roadster. There are three versions of the Feltzer in GTA IV, a coupe, a convertible with the top down, and a convertible with the top up.

EXCERPTFor to us a child is born,to us a son is given,and the government will be on his shoulders.And he will be calledWonderful Counselor, Mighty God…~Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)Each of the four Gospels has a slightly different telling of the Christmas story, but did you know that Paul also told the Christmas story in Romans? The following passage from Romans 8 is not traditionally thought of as a "Christmas passage", but the Message translation certainly opens our eyes to a new way of looking at Christmas.God went for the jugular when he sent his own Son. He didn't deal with the problem [of sin] as something remote and unimportant. In his Son, Jesus, he personally took on the human condition, entered the disordered mess of struggling humanity in order to set it right once and for all. The law code, weakened as it always was by fractured human nature, could never have done that.~Romans 8:3-4 (MSG)With nativity sets, ornaments, paintings and carols we typically picture Christmas as an innocently sweet scene. Yet from sin's perspective Christmas was the first blow of God's redemptive war hammer! When Satan peered into the stable, he didn't see sweet little angels, sheep and swaddling clothes. He saw a mighty warrior waiting to burst forth from the manger and free humanity from sin's slavery. He saw the first battle in a war that he would eventually lose.The next time you look at that little nativity set or sing carols about the birth of Christ remember that God indeed went for sin's jugular. He personally put on an earth suit, came onto the scene and made war against sin and death. Christmas was the bugle call informing the forces of Hell that they would soon be defeated!Activity:Look at nativity set or a picture and imagine Satan's perspective of this scene. How does it make you feel to know that this precious baby would ultimately become the most powerful warrior of all time?Prayer:Lord, let us see Christmas in a new light. This year let us not only see Your love and beauty. Let us also see Your power!

Fun news during tonight's new episode of The Originals: The CW is bringing us a new recap/interview digital series for the show called Secrets from the Quarter and it is hosted by none other than Steven Krueger, aka Josh, First of His Name, Bestest of Best Friends, He Who Shall Never Die. Executive producers Michael Narducci and Julie Plec sit in on this round to discuss The Big Uneasy. WARNING: Wait until you've watched tonight's episode before watching this, as it super-spoils everything that happens. (And a LOT happens.)

Remember back in season four, when Nina Dobrev only had to play two characters at a time? From our lofty season 5 vantage point, filming an Elena vs. Katherine fight scene might not seem like as big a deal, but it's still pretty complicated filming. Entertainment Weekly did separate interviews with Nina and John Copeman (stunt coordinator) to get their individual takes on the fight scene.
JOHN COPEMAN: The first thing I did was read the script and really block the fight, try to make some character beats. You don't want to make it all big punches, big throws. At least if there's a good line, accent that with a throw or a punch so it feels more character driven than just, "Hey let's do a neat stunt." And then I thought about what Nina can do, because Nina is stupidly flexible. So knowing that she could kick really high, we thought we would have Katherine, who's wearing like spike boots, throw a side kick into her throat after she throws Elena against the lockers, pin her there, and then she's delivering a line. And then Elena delivers a line back and kind of trips her, runs over and rips the locker off. So we were thinking about, "What can Nina do?"
NINA DOBREV: I like to push the envelope. They don't like to let me do much at all. If it was up to them, they wouldn't let me do any of it. If I was a stunt performer on our show, I would probably be a little frustrated because their whole job is to come to set and get to do the big cool crazy fun stuff, and I'll usually ask John if I can do something. If they say no, I'll kind of do it anyway, and then apologize later and be like, "Oops I forgot that I wasn't supposed to do that!" [Laughs] It's always easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission. They didn't let me hit the glass, I know that for sure. But I definitely hit the locker. I try to do as much as I can if they let me.

We love a good throwdown around here, and last night's episode of The Originals delivered.

People's Choice has an exclusive behind the scenes photo from The Originals, featuring Joseph Morgan (Klaus) and Leah Pipes (Cami), and is also teasing what viewers can expect from the show's premiere episode, Always and Forever, airing this Thursday, October 3 at 9/8c.
(Note: It is an entirely new episode that overlaps with the backdoor pilot that aired in April.)
Fans have been clamoring for more Elijah since his sporadic appearances on The Vampire Diaries. Now, it looks like they may finally be getting their wish. Though Elijah popped up in the backdoor pilot for The Originals, he has a much bigger role in the revised cut.

Remember when Elena's biggest problem was plain old water? Lots of changes since then but Elena's drowning scene was a big challenge for the actors and crew. Entertainment Weekly has a great piece on the mechanics of filming that scene, as told by Supervising Producer Chris Grismer.
I started the actors training for the scene about two months before we shot. They had to train every weekend with dive instructors. Nina Dobrev was already PADI-certified, but those who weren't had to become. They also had to learn how to act underwater for a long period of time without air: They had to learn how to do a scene and then get air between takes from a safety diver, who was never more than five or six feet away, instead of coming back up to the surface, which I think was pretty terrifying for them.

UH Warrior and Wahine Watch | Nov. 28
HONOLULU — University of Hawaii basketball fans can double their pleasure Friday with a women's and men's doubleheader at the Stan Sheriff Center.
The double-dip tips off at 5 p.m. as the Rainbow Wahine (3-2) take on Colorado State (3-1), followed by the Rainbow Warriors vs. Montana (1-3) at 7:30. Both games will be televised live statewide on OC16.
Montana is 1-3 but two of the losses were narrow defeats to solid programs. The Grizzlies lost at Washington, 83-79, on Tuesday after leading 42-36 at halftime, and fell to San Francisco at home, 75-74, on Nov. 22. Montana finished last season at 25-7 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year and third time in four years.
Friday's meeting is a return game from an ESPN Bracket Busters game at Missoula, Mont., on Feb. 18, 2012. The Grizzlies won that one 94-79.
The Rainbow Warriors were 3-2 entering Wednesday night's home game vs. New Orleans.
Tickets for the women's game (all general admission) are $7 for adults, $5 for senior citizens and $3 for students and may be purchased until halftime. Fans in the arena by halftime are welcome to stay for the men's game, as long as they move to an unoccupied seat in the upper level.
Tickets for the men's game are $26 for the lower bowl, $18 for the upper level, $16 for senior citizens (upper level) and $5 for youth (ages 4 through high school, upper level).
Big West Finale
for Wahine Spikers
The No. 12-ranked UH women's volleyball team, meanwhile, wraps up its Big West Conference season with road matches at Cal Riverside on Friday and Cal State Fullerton on Saturday.
The Rainbow Wahine are 22-4 overall and 11-3 in the Big West, trailing first-place Cal Santa Barbara (12-2) and second-place Cal State Northridge (12-3). But UH is No. 11 in the important Ratings Percentage Index, which is used as a tool by the NCAA Tournament selection committee in determining the top 16 seeds.
By rule, the top 16 seeds are supposed to be offered the opportunity to host first and second-round matches Dec. 5-7.
Football ticket sales will help Philippines
Ticket sold for Saturday's UH football game vs. Army will be matched by a $5 donation to the "Filipino Community Center – Aloha for Philippines" fund to benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan.
The donation, with a maximum of $20,000, is being provided by UH supporters who asked to remain anonymous.
Men's swimmers win Arena Invitational
The Rainbow Warriors swim team won the Arena Invitational championship last Saturday at Monterey Park, Calif.
UH had five first-place finishes and ended up with 1,649 points, well ahead of second-place host UC San Diego (1,261).
Yuri Samouilich won the 100 free, Alistar MacLean won the 200 back and the two of them joined Karl-Richard Hennebach and Ryan Mukata to win the 400 free relay. Eduardo Guimaraes (200 fly) and Victor Goicoechea (1,650 free) each won gold medals in their events.
The Rainbow Wahine took third place in the women's competition, behind first-place San Diego State and runner-up San Jose State.

WEST WINDSOR, N.J. – The Stanford men's rowing team wrapped up the IRA National Championships on Sunday with a win in the varsity eight C final.
"Both crews represented Stanford well by giving everything they had today," said head coach Craig Amerkhanian. "That is all we can ask them to do."
The Cardinal top eight won its race to finish 13th overall, the seed it held entering the weekend. Stanford ended up with victories in each of its final two races. The final time for the Cardinal was 5:49.658 as they topped No. 14 Penn by nearly 2.5 seconds. Oregon State came in third, a half second behind Penn.
The second varsity eight leaves the IRA National Championships with a 16th place finish. The boat finished fourth in the C final with a time of 5:53.149. They were 3.5 seconds off the leader Dartmouth and 2.7 seconds back of Syracuse.
Stanford's season comes to a close. Today was the final race for two seniors, Austin Hack and Will Robins. The bulk of the team returns for next season, including a group of four freshmen who saw time in the varsity eight in 2014.
"Our men know what they have to do to improve for next year," said Amerkhanian. "Through racing this weekend they developed learning techniques. They are leaving with a backpack full of knowledge."

Album Summary
- Liza Ferschtman (Violin)
Notes & Reviews:
Anton Dvorák's much loved Violin Concerto is performed on this new hybrid SACD by the outstanding young soloist Liza Ferschtman. The disc also includes George Gershwin's An American in Paris, and the orchestra in both works is the Netherlands Philharmonic.
Violinist Liza Ferschtman has performed with all the major Dutch orchestras, including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Residentie Orchestra, and the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, alongside conductors such as Leonard Slatkin, Jaap van Zweden, and Thierry Fischer. She released her debut recording for Challenge Classics in 2007 with music for violin and piano by Beethoven and Schubert (CC72174), and this was was followed in early 2010 by a disc devoted to the solo violin music of Bach and Ysayë (CC72351). In 2010 she made a critically acclaimed recording of Beethoven's Violin Concerto with the Netherlands Philharmonic and conductor Jan Willem de Vriend (CC72384).
The premiere of Anton Dvorák's Violin Concerto took place in Prague on 14 October 1883, and a month later it was performed in Vienna by the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Hans Richte, where the soloist was supposed to be the great Joseph Joachim, however it seems that he declined possibly because he thought the concerto's form too free for his liking. George Gershwin's symphonic poem An American in Paris is written in the form of a free rhapsody for orchestra. Although he had not meant it as programme music and certainly not as an autobiographic work, it clearly shows features of both.
Recording information: Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (04/20/2011-04/22/2011).

E L James Discusses Fourth Fifty Shades of Grey Book and Film Casting on "Katie"
E L James set the record straight Monday during an appearance on "Katie," where the Fifty Shades of Grey author discussed the much-rumored fourth book and the upcoming movie.
James, who admitted she was nervous about being on camera, said a new installment to the trilogy is not in the works.
Referring to the final section of Fifty Shades Freed, which showcased part of the story from the perspective of Christian Grey, instead of Anastasia Steele, she explained, "I just put it in there as an outtake."
James added, "I'd like to try to write something else first, but then maybe revisit [Christian Grey]. He's really hard work."
RELATED – Justin Bieber "Offered Role In Fifty Shades Of Grey"?
As for who will play those key characters in the film adaptation, the first-time novelist reiterated that no one has been cast in the roles.
"It's a sort of collaborative effort," James said of trying to get the movie off the ground, adding, "There's a studio, there's a production company, there's two producers, at some point there will be a director."
James, who said she's both "excited" and "terrified" for the movie, also divulged that she has at least three actors in mind to play Christian, and four actresses for Anastasia.
"But I am not going to tell you," she said to the disappointment of Fifty Shades fans everywhere.
