How do I see new items in a closed menu without a mouse?
Try pressing "Enter".
Nope, that will open the linked page, not the flyout.
It will also open the sub-menu - which is exactly the same as the flyout.
Okay, probably my fault. I haven't explained what I'm out for: I need a fast way to find a submenu entry. Until now I just left some submenus open (settings, posts, custom entries). There was no need for additional page loads. Now it is, and that's the regression I'm talking about.
Considering plugins are already being developed to revert to expanded menus, isn't that enough said that this needs to be a per site or per user option.
This will make admin operations on complex sites with dozens of actively used plugins slower, not faster.

Not at all. When the admin menu was switched from horizontal to vertical, several plugins poped up that reverted this. I'm sure there were users then that demanded an option to switch between the two types of menus, yet here we are, without it, and doing fine.
NB: I always keep the admin menu collapsed, so I won't comment on dropdowns vs. flyouts.
"No matter how beautiful, no matter how cool your interface, it would be better if there were less of it." I love this quote from Alan Cooper. It's great advice, and it has helped me make lots of tough design decisions.
Unfortunately though, it seems like this debate is not about "simplicity" or usability. It has spiraled into a debate between people who are upset about losing the baked-in features they value and use a lot, and people who didn't use those features and so have already committed to the change. The first camp seems to consist almost entirely of "users" and the second camp seems to consist almost entirely of "developers" who have been around WordPress for years.
Regardless, I haven't seen a convincing argument as to why the menu in 3.3 is an actual improvement in either form or function. Any superfluous change is a tax on productivity for existing users. IMHO, this menu change is a bad idea, and I'm not the only one who sees this as a problem. If we can keep the emotions out of it, that makes this a debate worth having until the matter is closed.
It's more effective for us to do that when people are not trying to sort people they disagree with into buckets. It comes off as divisive and elitist to the rest of the community when you say or imply things like "anytime something changes some people are going to resist" (sounds like a cop-out to avoid debating a good point), and "they're power users, not new users" (so, what? the new users haven't learned enough to know what to hate yet? we only want new users from now on, so we're taking away things that power users like? clearly not what you mean, but too many flaws in this logic to even debate it here), or "I'm sure there were users then that demanded an option to switch between the two types of menus, yet here we are, without it, and doing fine." (no one is really demanding anything, just debating a point. and yes, here we are despite people requesting functionality they don't need? every time people complain about a change it's because they can't let go of the old way of doing things, not because the change is a bad idea?).
These kinds of comments aren't even new or creative. If you have something to say about the menus, let's hear it. But we can do without the opinions on other posters' psychography and how we are just having a hard time dealing with change. If you're a programmer, awesome. I can't do that and I respect you for it. Let's move on without the passive-aggressive attempts to diminish the value of people's posts.
So here are some reasons why I don't like the menu system in 3.3. (I'm open to feedback or clarification if I am either missing the point or just wrong somewhere):
1) USABILITY: as a plain old "user" I think the usability in 3.3 is poor. I disliked it from the moment I hovered over the first menu because it was obvious how much more time it would take to get the same things accomplished in the future.
2) NECESSITY: from a product management standpoint this seems to stand out as an unnecessary change that took developer and designer time and resources away from more important things. What business value does this new menu provide? what problem is it solving? it seems like a solution looking for a problem.
3) BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS: if you don't use the menus expanded, then you won't realize how much it will require users who do to learn new behavioral patterns without providing an equitable reason to do so.The new menu unnecessarily removes functionality that is materially useful to a lot of users, apparently to accommodate an aesthetic preference. That's form without function.
4) MOBILE ACCESSIBILITY: Clearly, the new menu was not architected, designed or tested with mobile devices or mobile users in mind. There are extra clicks required in 3.3. The mobile experience in 3.2.1 was already frustrating. It seems out of character based on what little I've read about the dev team that a decision was made to change the menu without specifically looking for ways to improve the mobile experience, AND without even conducting usability testing with the menu on mobile devices, before or after the fact. Mobile devices aren't getting less popular. @Ipstenu:
Checking 3.2.1 and 3.3 on the iPad. Flyout menus work for me on SVN 3.3 - Click once, they fly out. Click again, go to where I want.Yes, only if you know where you want to go in first place. Try "click once they fly out, change your mind and click elsewhere and no flyout. Click a third time to expand menu so you can see the options. Wait for page to load. Click fourth time to go to the page you decide on, assuming you did find the page you wanted on the third click..." Versus "click once, go where I want". I really want to agree with you on this @Ipstenu, because your depth of knowledge of WP intimidates the hell out of me. But I just did this on my iPad for the 4th time to be sure I wasn't smoking crack.
5) INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE: Minor usability issues aside, there is no apparent progress being made towards solving the bigger information architecture problems that continue to get worse over time; like UI scalability, which is especially evident with people who run multisite and have no way to reorder, sort or search for sites in the menu. Currently we're stuck with a picklist for "My Sites", which is find, I'm thankful to have a tool like multisite in the first place. But if your going to overhaul the menu, my first thought was "what were they thinking?" Picklists are a good choice for static options that rarely or never change, not for lists that were built to grow. It would be nice if we didn't introduce new problems before the old ones were solved.
6) PROGRESS: the menu redesign that was implemented in 3.2 was a big, obvious step forward. I was really geeked up about it, as I have been about almost every single change WordPress has made to date. But by all visible accounts, the "value" of the changes to the menu in 3.3 are neutral at best, even to its supporters. So I can't see the new menu as anything but a step backwards, especially out of consideration for anyone who prefers to keep the side menu expanded (which again, to me just makes more sense if you work on an iPad or tablet. the alternative is clicking twice to get to each menu option).
7) SCALABILITY: The expand/collapse menu system in 3.2.1 is infinitely more scalable than the menu system in 3.3. Plain and simple. The more options you add to the flyout menus, the greater the need you have to keep them expanded. This is not a debate about preference, or "why you shouldn't have too many plugins", WordPress was made to be scalable, the new menu was not.
jonschlinkert thanks for putting all the time and thought into that well written post. Attempting to add to it would just restate ground you covered.
It comes off as divisive and elitist to the rest of the community when you say or imply things like "anytime something changes some people are going to resist" (sounds like a cop-out to avoid debating a good point), and "they're power users, not new users" (so, what? the new users haven't learned enough to know what to hate yet? we only want new users from now on, so we're taking away things that power users like?
It's not meant to be divisive or elitist. However, the unfortunate truth is that it's pretty much impossible to please 100% of the people when you're talking about tens of millions of them. As developers (especially the lead team who help to steer the project) we have to remember too that people tend to speak up when they don't like something but rarely when they do. This means that you might look around and see only negative comments on something even if a majority of people actually liked it.
It's tricky to figure out what's best for a community so large. Part of the strategy WordPress uses to handle this is the 80-20 rule of thumb. If it is something that 80% of users will use or prefer, then it makes sense to put it in core. That can be a tough pill to swallow for those that are in the 20% (If we think that 62M sites means roughly 62M users, then that's 12 million people), but I honestly think it's the best thing for WordPress.
Regardless, I haven't seen a convincing argument as to why the menu in 3.3 is an actual improvement in either form or function.
There have been reasons given that I would consider convincing. Unfortunately you don't consider them convincing. You're entitled to that opinion and I can respect that, but that doesn't mean that this is a "superfluous change" it just means that some people think it is. The basic reasons given previously were fewer clicks and no scrolling, but I would also say aesthetics, which is extremely important.
To directly address your points:
By the way, my plugin to keep the menus expanded is in the repository now. It inserts a single line of JS and a single line of CSS into admin pages.
Aaron, thank you. You make some really good points, I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
I'll check out the plugin too, thanks a bunch for that.
No one should be losing sleep over this, I just wanted (in my OP) to get some things cleared up, and I was really more concerned about the "why" than the "what". Hence the title... Up until now, I haven't received the clarification I was looking for - and I'm glad that lots of other folks jumped in to share their thoughts so we could all benefit from the exchange. I could make a few opposing points again, but at this point I think I've said everything I needed to say, and I've personally already belabored this issue to a point where it's way out of proportion with how much I'm actually concerned about the feature itself (clearly I can't speak for others).
So hopefully my previous post along with Aaron's (and others') answers, provided enough detail to draw this to a conclusion.
Thanks for the great perspective. The important thing is that the core contributors keep creating and innovating as freely as they would in an agile startup, because users like me really benefit from the speed and frequency of the improvements we receive. I care about that more than the menu.
Thanks again for the menu plugin, Aaron. I'll check it out now.
Aaron thank you for your long answer and your plugin. Just one note (which may belong to the trac):
The basic reasons given previously were fewer clicks and no scrolling, but I would also say aesthetics, which is extremely important.
I need more clicks now because the flyouts are keyboard agnostic.
A good compromise would be a combination of the previous user controlled behavior and the new flyouts: Keep open submenus open until they are closed by the user.
Keeping all submenus open all the time isn't necessary and not a very pleasant alternative.
I think it's fair to say that it's hard to please everybody with any new feature, but it seems to me like 3.2.1 already was pleasing pretty much everybody. For those of us who like having certain menus always open, we have the option to do so. Likewise, for those who prefer to have the more minimalist "out of my way" admin screen, there were actually 2 options: 1. Leave all the menus un-expanded or 2. Use the "Collapse menu" button to go to the really minimalist view. In this view, you also get the flyout menus. So in my view, we've gone from:
In v3.2.1 - 3 options, which covers most people's personal preference
In v3.3.x - 2 options, removing one option that many people like
It's hard for me to see the logic in doing that. I wouldn't say that I'm adamantly opposed to the new menu system, but it does seem like an unnecessary design change that seems to do more to remove functionality than add to it. The new flyout menu view is almost exactly the same as the fully collapsed menu view, except that the menu labels are also visible, and not just the icons. The labels could have been easily added as another view option, without removing an existing option that many people want to keep.
Just my two cents.
Or what the real problem is is a WordPress development team headlong committed to reckless experimentation. Thus they get screams of bloody murder when they do things people don't like ---- and they BLATANTLY, blatantly ignore those screams.
IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO MAKE WORDPRESS BETTER then they would incorporate backend changes as either options in one's profile --- or as "skins" or even dare I say, release the changes as a new backend "theme"!
That really should be the route they go, instead of pissing everyone off with changes, JUST LIKE when they release a new frontend theme to accompany a new WordPress release (i.e. Twenty Eleven) they REALLY SHOULD also release an accompanying backend "theme" that can be easily switched out, instead of forcing everyone's hands, and people writing patches to restore it to something of what it was.
Instead of telling people, "This IS the direction WordPress is going --- damn you all to everlasting hell for wanting anything else than our vision for WordPress." Easily swappable backend theme releases should be standard.
PLEASE give us an option to revert the menu system back to the old style.
Give us the choice to open or expand any menus we want. NOT just one. I want to use the fly-outs AND have the ability to expand/collapse all of my menus. Why not let people choose this in the dashboard and make us all happy? Seems like a simple thing to do and many people want this WITHOUT having to resort to a plugin to restore functionality that was previously there. Please re-consider this. Many thanks.
I don't like how the admin menus are force-collapsing in 3.3 now. I currently have Beta 2 running and my admin menu is stuck on collapsed. Very annoying.
I also like to see all of the options that I have at times. I like to keep certain menus opened vertically so that I can jump between things more smoothly (visually, and also not having to wait for the pop-up to appear).
I don't understand why these options can't be a simple checkbox in the USER PROFILE section of the Admin...
@rvlawrence: I couldn't agree more!!!
I will just say that I love the new menu system with flyouts.
The 3.2 menues has a big problem. It makes me scroll. I have custom post types and some plugins that creates a main menu item for the options. For each time a visit an admin page, the submenu stays open, at least until I close it.
If you don't like the flyots, just ignore them and click on the main menu item as before. In that respect it's completely backwards compatible in user experience.
But it will not let you have more than one submenu open, if you so prefer. That I consider special needs, at the cost of scrolling. Get a plugin to expand the complete menu and be happy scrolling.
I now work with a lot of WP 3.3 blogs and like the admin a lot. I hate it, when I have to manage the blogs still in 3.2.1. How far down the page do I find the options for a plugin? It depends on how many menu elements I had expanded the last time I was in. Completely unpredictable!
3.3 is a nice step forward.
I think it's fair to say that it's hard to please everybody with any new feature, but it seems to me like 3.2.1 already was pleasing pretty much everybody.
Unfortunately that's not true. Just look at @Knut Sparhell's response above. There were a lot of people that agree with him (including me). There's also something to be said for innovation over stagnation.
@olyma - Without strong leadership guiding the project, WordPress would not be where it is today (on over 63 million sites).
@anointed & @rvlawrence
PLEASE give us an option to revert the menu system back to the old style.
Give us the choice to open or expand any menus we want.
The philosophy the WordPress leads use it "decisions not options". In order to keep the product user-friendly and easy to use we try to have as few options as possible.
I don't like how the admin menus are force-collapsing in 3.3 now. I currently have Beta 2 running and my admin menu is stuck on collapsed. Very annoying.
Ipsentu wrote a great post on why beta is too late in the process for voicing opinions on the UI. It's definitely worth a read as it will hopefully give you a good view of how the development process works.
I'll update my plugin to allow you to expand/contract each item. Persistence will probably be a browser cookie, so it would not persist from your desktop to laptop, but I think it would still work for most of you.
@Aaron Making interaction for users without a mouse harder and removing a user controlled navigation is probably not what most people see as innovation. I can use the admin bar and the main menu in 3.2.1 with my keyboard. In 3.3 both are broken.
It is never too late to speak about regressions. Community processes don't stop when a handful of people declare something as done. The ongoing debate about such issues is what made WordPress so great.
The updated version of my plugin is available (0.0.2).
@toscho - I'm not sure I agree it's a regression but if it's deemed as such then you're right, beta *is* the right time to sort it out as beta is for bug fixing. However, if it's just a matter of "not liking" the new way, then that is something that should have been addressed pre-beta.
The philosophy the WordPress leads use it "decisions not options". In order to keep the product user-friendly and easy to use we try to have as few options as possible.
I have an idea, why not add a button to the edit user panel where we can choose to revert back to the old system?
Wp did it for the admin bar afterall...
I have an idea, why not add a button to the edit user panel where we can choose to revert back to the old system?
There are a couple reasons. The first is that we try to keep the number of options to a minimum and didn't think it was necessary for this. The second is that if we have an option then we need to keep up the code for the old menu system as well as the new one. It leads to bloat and eventually to a system that's too big to be useful.
1. Fly-out submenus without option of keeping them expanded all the time suck big time - it seriously abuse my workflow and I'm working with
few hundreds WordPress powered sites daily.
2. Cthulhu bless You for plugin which fixes this issue.
3. But installing another plugin just to restore something that was a standard feature is just pure evil - if less is more ("we try to keep the number of options to a minimum"), why I have to install one more plugin just to alter my menus. A single option would be much more convenient.
I admire the fascismo of Decisions --- Not Options ! in an abstract sense, really I do ( ever provided the effects are remote from me... ), but would it not be simplest for there to be a prominent page on .org listing every plugin, present and future, that can revert an aspect back to that which just worked ?
That way progress on the one true path can proceed, while those who dislike certain changes can continue ( albeit with additional plugins merely to stay asyouwere ) can run their own blogs as they prefer.
Personally, I shall not go to 3.3 mostly because of the admin bar, but also this --- I like 3.2 as it is; but such a reference page could be of great help to those who do.
Okay, I've been using this ever since 3.3 came out and, after several months I can honestly say...
I still hate it!!!!
It's not meant to be divisive or elitist. However, the unfortunate truth is that it's pretty much impossible to please 100% of the people when you're talking about tens of millions of them
In this case IT IS possible. Totally and utterly possible. Just keep the old functionality and add the new. It's not really something that's hard, the two aren't mutually incompatible. What you've done here is taken something away that didn't need to be taken. You could still have added your flyout stuff too.
I realize this will probably make no difference at all, as your minds are obviously made up, but I had to rant.
People who just post don't need menus so how about a moron mode for them?
Any person actually using the backend needs a simple text list expanded for the side menu. No java, images, li styling, or anything. Pretty is useless.
Now I must hover over every item to see what is there or where the latest plugin went hiding. The new design is absolutely stupid. Period. No fun when you visit dozens of sites that are all configured differently. It can add tons of time to an entire day of WORK.
Why does marketing take over every industry eventually? Leave usability to those that actually use it!
I hack the admin style sheet so most goes away on new installs or if I have time. Otherwise this pig is useless. Without the styling it actually can function for those that read and are not limited to pretty pictures like a KFC menu board!
Fly out sub-menus? Trying to SELL it to a real estate agent or something?
Come on, get real...this thing does not have to be just a toy, it can actually be more than that. Too bad those who keep updating it can't figure that out.
As WordPress 3.3 is no longer in beta, I'm closing this topic.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Flora of Australia Volume 57
Lichens 5
Flora of Australia Series
Colour illustrations
708 pages
CSIRO Publishing / Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS)
Volume 57 is the fifth volume of the Flora of Australia which documents the lichens. Here, we emphasise several speciose and ecologically significant families that colonise the bark of trees and shrubs in monsoon vine forest and in coastal and montane rainforest across northern Australia, viz. Graphidaceae, Phyllopsoraceae, Pyrenulaceae, Thelotremataceae and Trypetheliaceae. In addition, treatments are provided for prominent, mainly tropical and subtropical genera such as Dirinaria, Letrouitia, Pyxine and Strigula, as well as the more widely distributed Buellia s. str., Lepraria, Ramboldia and Tephromela. In contrast, the volume also includes lichens that are primarily associated with cool-temperate and montane habitats in south-eastern Australia, for example Nephroma, Peltigera, Thelocarpon and Umbilicaria.
Complete or partial accounts of 21 families are provided in Volume 57, including 78 genera and 654 species and infra-specific taxa. One genus (Schizotrema, Thelotremataceae) and 27 species are described as new to science, and 35 new combinations are made.
This work brings to 1822 the number of Australian lichen species and infra-specific taxa treated in the five volumes published.
"It is most pleasing to see some extremely fine detailed treatments produced for groups which are clearly difficult and much more complex and diverse than perhaps traditionally realised…the appearance of another volume in this series is clearly a matter for celebration, especially in the currently unfavourable economic climate, and the valuable and excellent treatments presented reflect much credit on all contributors."

Anna Gristina, the Monroe Madam, was kept in jail so long because prosecutors listening to phone conversations heard her boast about all the well-connected people she knew, people who, should their names be revealed, would provide a tabloid feast.
Prosecutors were so taken by what they heard that instead of treating her like they would any other person suspected of running a brothel under the guise of a dating service, they went all out. Bail in the millions, no plea deal unless she turned over her list of clients, the ones who would help her get out of trouble and, if necessary, out of the country.
In the end, there were no VIPs the prosecutors could find. Just men who made enough money to buy some upscale sex in a nice neighborhood.
But prosecutors still do not seem to get it. At the sentencing hearing, the assistant DA accused Gristina of making empty boasts.
Imagine that. Someone involved in a criminal activity bragging and having the claims turn out to be exaggerated. Sometimes, it seems, a madam is just a madam.

Stepping it up
Add a lunge to strengthen glutes, quads and hamstrings
Title: Firefighter/paramedic
Years of service: 3.5 years
Home: South Park
Personal: Single
Activities/interests: Surfing, American poet/novelist Henry Charles Bukowski
The move: A lunge that flows directly into a step up.
Works on: Hip and core stability; glute, quadriceps and hamstring strengthening.
Level of difficulty: Intermediate
Precautions: Make sure you can perform a lunge and step up separately with good form before performing this movement.
Setup: Begin by placing your right foot on top of a box or a step. Place left foot on the floor behind the step and give yourself enough room to perform a lunge (knees should not bend more than 90 degrees.)
Steps: Contract core muscles to ensure little to no movement within the torso region. Bend the back knee and descend into a proper lunge. To come out of the lunge, push up with the back foot toes and with the front foot heel. While coming out of the lunge, use the right heel to propel yourself up onto the step. Without resting, return your left foot to the ground and repeat the lunge.
Repetitions: Perform 12-15 reps and two to three sets on each side.
Options: Add dumbbells to each hand or increase the height of the step to make the exercise harder.
Each week, Firehouse Fitness features members of the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department demonstrating exercises and stretching techniques that can be incorporated into almost any fitness routine. Information: sdfdwellness.com

Publisher's Description
Read Daily Light online at http://www.esvbible.org/devotions/daily-light.
As a child Samuel Bagster learned the precepts and practices of a devoted Christian, which sustained him throughout his life and which, in turn, he passed on to his children. This highly principled and religiously minded bookshop owner gathered his large family together daily for reading God's Word, testing their knowledge by connecting the day's verses with other passages, and praying over how it could be applied. It was from this practice of worship that the Bagster family compiled the material for Daily Light on the Daily Path.
It is said that this daily devotional book is the most popular of all time. It has touched hundreds of thousands of Christians to the remotest corners of the world with the biblical message of comfort and help. Originally printed in the 1800s, this work is timeless because each reading is a connection of Scripture verses centered around a theme. Crossway is delighted to re-release this classic book in the beautiful and clear language of the English Standard Version.

Buyer's Brokers of the Seacoast is excited to offer a glimpse of lands afar to its View of the Seacoast Office Gallery with local Photographer Michael Sterling and his treats for the eye of beautiful architecture and intricate designs from countries he has traveled including Morocco, Turkey and India. In a series of images, he has captured amazing patterns through his lens. A selection of his photographs will grace our gallery for July, August and September and are open to the public daily during office hours 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays. A Meet the Artist Open House is slated for Friday, Sept. 6, 6 p.m.-8 p.m.
In his last exhibit at Buyer's Brokers of the Seacoast, Sterling displayed photos showing the unique personalities and people that he and his wife, Paula, met in their travels around the world. The show this year will focus on trips to Morocco, India and Turkey. He was fascinated by the designs which are found in the grand architecture of those countries, as well in the intricate patterns presented in artisans' handicrafts.
Sterling is a juried member of the New Hampshire Art Association as well as the New Hampshire Society of Photographic Artists and from Portsmouth. He has exhibited in numerous local one-man and group shows, won a number of awards, and has been published in magazines. His photographs have been displayed in the office of Congresswoman Carol Shea Porter as well as in the "Experience New Hampshire" reception organized by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
While closer to home, Sterling photographs in and around the Seacoast, concentrating on landscapes and seascapes. He continues to be a volunteer photographer for local non-profit organizations including The Gundalow Company, York Center for Wildlife, United Way of the Greater Seacoast and Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire.

Emmanuel De La Rosa was present and out of custody in the Fontana Superior Court Tuesday for a routine hearing.
"All we did was set more dates," Deputy District Attorney Morrissa Cardoza said Tuesday. "The (pre-preliminary hearing) is set for March 5, the prelim on March 7."
At the preliminary hearing, lawyers and a judge will hear testimony and review evidence to determine if sufficient probable cause exists to hold over the defendant for trial on the charges.
De La Rosa, who taught the masonry class where the alleged incidents took place, knew the hazing was going on, and, in at least one instance, may have directed students to carry it out in order to limit behavioral problems in the classroom, authorities said.
Fontana Unified School District police officers notified Fontana police in June of the possible hazing that they said involved the physical assault of at least one student in a masonry class.
During the investigation, police found a second victim.
De La Rosa was arrested in June but posted bail and has been remained out of custody for court hearings.
Also in court Tuesday was Fernando Manuel Salgado, an A.B. Miller High School student who was arrested for his alleged participation in the June sexual hazing incident.
Salgado pleaded guilty in July to one count of sexual penetration with a foreign object and one count of assault with a deadly weapon.
He originally pleaded not guilty to all of the charges but later accepted a plea bargain against the recommendation of his attorney.
A four-year state prison sentence connected to the plea will be suspended by the court as long as Salgado truthfully testifies at key hearings for De La Rosa.
"I'm gonna keep him coming back to court for each date," Cardoza said. "He will have to testify at the prelim and if there is a a trial."

Citation: Bielenberg, D.G., Wany, Y., Fan, S., Reighard, G.L., Scorza, R., Abbott, A. 2004. A deletion affecting several gene candidates is present in the evergrowing peach mutant. Journal of Heredity. Interpretive Summary: Winter dormancy is one of the most basic processes that allow for the survival of plants in temperate climates. The genes that control dormancy are not known. If we understood the genetic control of dormancy, we could perhaps manipulate this process in order to produce hardier plants or to produce plants that grow better in warmer areas that do not experience long, cold winters. To study the genes that control dormancy, we used a peach tree that grows near the equator and does not have a dormancy requirement for normal growth and fruit production. We found a region of the genome (DNA) of this 'evergrowing' peach tree that appears to be responsible for this trait. We are now studying this important DNA region to discover the exact gene or genes that produce the 'evergrowing' trait.
Technical Abstract: Evergrowing (EVG) peach is one of only two described mutants affecting winter dormancy in woody perennial species. EVG peach does not set terminal buds, cease new leaf growth, nor enter into a dormant resting phase in response to winter conditions. The EVG mutation segregates in F2 progeny as a single recessive nuclear gene. A local molecular genetic linkage map around EVG was previously developed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, and a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) contig that contains the EVG mutation was assembled. A MADS box coding open reading frame (ORF) was found in a BAC of this contig and used as a probe. The probe detected a polymorphism between the wild-type and mutant genomes, and the polymorphism is indicative of a deletion in EVG peach. The EVG gene region contained six potential MADS-box transcription factor sequences, and the deletion in EVG affected at least four of these. The deletion was bracketed using RFLP analysis, which showed that it is contained within a segment of the genome no greater than 180 kb.

The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi softball team will travel to Austin on Thursday, taking a break from Southland Conference action to face the #22 Texas Longhorns in a doubleheader of return games after the two teams previously played on March 5 at Cabaniss Field in Corpus Christi. First pitch is set for 4:00 PM.
The Islanders split those games with the Longhorns, winning the first by a 5-0 score to become the first team of the 2009 season to shutout Texas while falling in the second game by a 9-8 score with the tying run on second base when the final out was recorded.
The Islanders will look to put on a similar performance tomorrow, as they will be playing their first Top 25 team of the season. Texas broke into the national polls this week on the strength of their doubleheader sweep of then #6 Oklahoma. They are #22 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll and #25 in the USA Today/NFCA poll. On Wednesday night, the Longhorns defeated #19 Texas A&M by a 5-3 final.
In the first pair of meetings between the teams this season, the Islanders used a strong pitching performance by Addie Tallman to shut down the Longhorns in the first game of the day, winning by a 5-0 margin on the strength of Margo Hurdt's 2-for-3 performance at the plate to go along with three RBI. Alaina Byars and Andrea Simancas also contributed an RBI apiece in the game.
In game two of the twinbill, the Islanders fell behind early, giving up four runs in the first with two of them being unearned to fall behind 4-0. The Islanders gave up six unearned runs that game while falling by just one at 9-8. Cassie Redman led the Islanders at the plate with a 3-for-4 performance while knocking in two RBI. Stephanie Estrada, Byar, Simancas and Landry Moore also contributed one RBI each in the game.
Byars has been on a tear recently, hitting six homeruns and knocking in 17 RBI over the last 13 games while maintaining a .349 average over that span. Hurdt has also done well, bringing in 10 RBI while playing in 12 of the games.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, United States: Martin Kaymer survived a late double-bogey to win the US PGA Tour's prestigious Players Championship yesterday by one stroke over Jim Furyk.
Kaymer notched his first title worldwide since he won the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa on December 2, 2012, coming up with three clutch pars to close out a one-under par 71 for a 13-under total of 275.
"It's always difficult to come back after a little break, but obviously you see the leaderboard, you see where you are, but I played really, really well the first 14 holes," Kaymer stated.
"I made a couple wrong decisions (after the weather delay). On 16, I should have chipped it. It was not the right decision, but that was a big putt on 17."
The victory in the $10m tournament was just the second of Kaymer's career on the US PGA Tour -- to go with his major triumph at the 2010 PGA Championship.
The former world number one from Germany had a three-shot lead and was lining up a putt at the 14th when players were called off the course because of lightning in the area.
When play resumed, with officials hoping to get the tournament finished before darkness fell, Kaymer promptly found himself in trouble with a double-bogey six at the 15th.
Furyk, meanwhile, came back from the break to wrap up a six-under 66 for a 12-under total of 276. With his lead down to one-shot lead, Kaymer was unable to birdie the par-five 16th, but he kept his nose in front with a 28-foot, breaking putt to save par at the par-three 17th and parred 18 in near darkness for the win.
Sergio Garcia, the 2008 champion, closed with a 2-under 70 to grab third place on 11-under-par 277 on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass.AFP

Hey ladies, how are we all? Nothing much to report here! I'm getting quite tired, but that's nothing new working fulltime and having a 2 year old! Apart from that my boobs have been quite sore on and off and I've been hungrier! Boobs are also a bit more veiny and darker nipples. Not really had any sickness yet, just the odd nauseous pang! What about you girls? Doesn't feel real yet! We've told our parents who are over the moon. I've had to tell a few people in work as I'm a special needs teacher and I often have to deal with violent pupils! Work have been great though, very supportive Just watching Peppa Pig with my own little piglet before his bathtime! Love snuggles on the sofa! X

Glad you're ok hun. We haven't been offered a scan until I'm 12 weeks. How come you're having an early one? Woke up today with a stinking cold, passed on by my darling son (the joys of grubby toddlers!) and feeling sick! I'm secretly pleased about the sickness lol! Colds are horrid in pregnancy as you cant take anything. No lemsips, ibuprofen or any form of decongestant! Boo! My brother in laws wedding on Sunday so hopefully I'll be better by then Being poorly AND sober at a wedding would be rubbish lol!xxx

Aww gemgem, its horrible having a cold when your pg! i had 1 last time but midwife told me it was ok 2 take lemsip. I used the boots alternative, just checked the pack & it also says ok 2 use. Hope u feel better.
I was starting 2 get a bit worried because i had no sickness yet & still no pains like last time. But the sickness started yesterday! think i have 2 stop comparing.
Got a txt from friend in work today who sadly lost her baby at 13 weeks. Think this is her 11th or 12th miscarriage but this is the furthest she's carried. Must be devastating.

Where we work
Foodshare serves the greater Hartford region, which consists of all 42 towns of Hartford and Tolland Counties. As Central Connecticut's regional food bank, Foodshare is the liaison between the food industry and nearly 300 partner programs – including soup kitchens, emergency shelters, and food pantries across the region. As Foodshare receives food donations from wholesalers and private individuals, these partner programs receive food from Foodshare to help hungry individuals and families in their respective areas. We do not provide food directly to those in need from our Bloomfield warehouse.
If you need help, but you live outside of our service area, please contact the Connecticut Food Bank for more information.
As an organization focused on ending hunger, Foodshare is hard at work building town-wide collaborations throughout greater Hartford. These groups – which include local government, social service agencies, faith groups, and schools – research the needs within their own community and discuss possible solutions to ensure everyone has enough. Learn more about these Hunger Action Teams and the communities in which they are making a difference.

In a series of interviews with New York Times science writer Gary Taubes on scientificblogging, psychology professor Seth Roberts turns to the question of how do you go about making the judgment as to whether a scientist is trustworthy, especially when the topic is controversial. Taubes responds:
I'm a stickler about the use of words like "evidence" and "proof". So if someone tells you there's no evidence for some controversial belief, you can be fairly confident that they're a bad scientist. There's always evidence, or there wouldn't be a controversy. If somebody says that "we proved that this was true" or "we set out to prove that this was true" that's another bad sign. The point here, as [Karl] Popper noted, among others, is that you can never prove anything is true; you can only refute it. So researchers who talk about proving a hypothesis is true rather than testing it make me worried.
SETH: Yeah, I see what you're saying. They overstate; they twist things around to make it come out the way they want. They are way too sure of what they…
TAUBES: Yes, and the really good scientists are the ones, almost by definition, who are most skeptical of evidence that seems to support their beliefs. They're most aware of how they could have been fooled, how they could have screwed up, or how they might have missed artifacts in their experiment that could have explained what they observed. They're very careful about what they say. If you ask them to do play devil's advocate, and tell you how they could have screwed up, then at the very least, they'll say "Well, if I knew how I could have done it, I would have checked it before I made the claim". So when I'm talking about discerning the difference between a good scientist and a bad scientist, I'm talking about how they speak about their research, the evidence itself, it's presence or absence.
Worth bearing in mind when you hear something which appears to overturn consensus expressed in strident terms: Where all the other possible explanations for the phenomenon considered? How did the researchers test their theory and data against the best possible countervailing research? Why do their conclusions offer better explanatory power?

M&A Boutiques Step Up Challenge to Major Banks
M&A boutiques are set for their biggest share of activity on record in the first quarter as they continue to muscle onto their giant competitors' turf.
Boutiques, many of them helmed by heavyweights who have left big banks, have together advised on 33% of announced global M&A volume in the year to March 31. That's up a little from 30% in the full first quarter last year, but is almost double the 18% for the first quarter of 2009, according to Dealogic figures.
In Europe that difference is starker. Boutiques have advised on 18% of announced global M&A volume in the year to March 31. Compare that with 2009, when boutiques advised on 1% of announced volume in the first full quarter.
Benoit d'Angelin, who co-founded advisory firm Ondra Partners, based in London, said: "We are back to 'normality'– with advisory firms giving independent advice and banks providing financing."
Fewer, larger M&A transactions have driven volumes in the quarter and boutiques have again secured roles on some of the biggest deals.
Both Allen & Co and Centerview Partners are on the biggest deal of the year globally so far: the proposed $45 billion tie-up between Comcast and Time Warner. Greenhill, meanwhile, is financial adviser to Dublin-based Actavis on its $25 billion acquisition of Forest Labs – the second largest deal of the year to date.
In Dealogic's global M&A rankings by volume, Centerview Partners and Allen & Co both sit in the top 10, just behind Citi and Barclays. PJT Capital–started by former Morgan Stanley rainmaker Paul J Taubman–and LionTree Advisors are knocking on the door of the top 10.
Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and J.P. Morgan remain the top three banks in the global M&A ranking by volume in the year to March 28.
In Europe, a new generation of independents is taking hold. Robertson Robey Associates advised the Vodafone board on its $10 billion acquisition of Ono, the boutique's first big mergers and acquisitions win since ex-Morgan Stanley rainmaker Simon Robey and former UBS counterpart Simon Warshaw joined last year.
Zaoui & Co, the boutique started by brothers Michael and Yoël Zaoui in London, has been fully operational for about six months. In that time, it advised L'Oréal on a €6 billion ($7.8 billion) purchase and is advising the Peugeot family on a proposed deal with Chinese company Dongfeng.

Post subject: Possible ov time and need some advice pretty please...
Ok, so AF hasnt arrived since my M/C in Sept, however, I had a feeling that I might ov soon and low and behold, I have some lovely stretchy CM today
My question is, as this CM is just starting to 'pass though' sorry if tmi have I left it too late to try and conceive?
Also, my scan following the M/C is next Thursday 15th (they found something consistent with a gestation sack, most likely a cyst by/near my ovary) and they are scanning to see if its gone/what it is. Would you wait until after the scan to ttc? I'm in 2 minds, on one hand I dont want to waste another month as my cycles arnt regular so could it could be another 2 month cycle... On another, I'm thinking what if I conceive and something goes wrong because of the scan or because I havent waiting for a full cycle to ttc... xxx

I'd go for it hun - but when you do go for your scan just say there is a possibility that you could be pregnant or that you have been TTC and they should be very careful and treat you nicely (not that they don't anyway but they'll just be extra aware).
Both me and hubby were man-flu'd up when we were TTC - it was such an effort - but it worked! Tell yours that the adrenaline, seratonin and general exercise in BD will help his manflu. Lots. x

"Alright but in a great need of refurbishment"
10th September 2013, Sophenvadrouille, London
We stayed 2 nights in this hotel in September 2013. Our first impression was: great location just outside the medina, opposite the beach. Nice, impressive building.Our room was very large with 2 balconies opening onto the swimming pool area. We had some fresh fruit and water in the room on arrival.Now, as much as we liked it, the whole hotel is in a great need of a refurbishment: the carpet in the hallway is dirty with black marks, bathroom looks (very) tired... We had dinner at the moroccain restaurant of the hotel - no choice, the whole town had no electricity. We thought this was a ripe off: overpriced food, taste was OK, but would have expected more for the price. Waitress was all smile until billing time as she did not know what to do with my discount card.Some of the staff (reception, cleaning team, thalasso etc) were nice and helpfull, but some were quite abrupt and arrogant.On the positive: bed is extremely confortable, hammam is free and accessible all day, pool is nice, but I understand some of the below comments about lack of sun loungers (on the other hand, it's nice this way, not too crowded!)So overhall, I would love to return to a refurbished, refreshed hotel, but would recommend eating out as there are so many great options in Essaouira.
"Good Hotel in Lovely Essaouira"

"La Medina Essaioura"
1st June 2012, RosaB673, Beckenham
Great location opposite the beach and easy walking to the medina. Roped off area of the beach for guests with towels provided and guarded by G4s security although that did not seem necessary! Great swimming pool also with endless supply of towels and nice variety of sitting areas, not just sun loungers. All rooms cleaned to a high standard and staff all very polite and friendly. Probably only criticism is that it was quite difficult to attract attention at the pool for a drink or lunch menu. Restaurant choice was rather bland French or good ethnic Moroccan but with compulsory live Moroccan music to contend with. Overall we had a really good week there and would recommend a junior suite which was quite spacious.View management response »

A Dismal Debut for NYC's Voting Machines
New electronic voting machines made their official debut in New York City during Tuesday's primary — and the early word from voters is not good.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, responding to reports of widespread delays and equipment malfunctions, described the situation as "a royal screw-up, and it's completely unacceptable." He blasted the Board of Elections as "a remnant of the days when Tammany Hall ran New York," noting that the agency had five years and more than $160 million in city and federal funds to complete the transition to the new voting machines.
The mayor added: "New Yorkers deserve better than this — and the time has come to fix it."
Though turnout appears low — as it often is for primary elections — the voters who did make it to the polls have voiced anger, frustration and disbelief as a series of problems with the new machines caused long delays and left many New Yorkers dubious as to whether their ballot would be counted.
"It was horrendous," said Cara Judobits, 47, as she left a polling site on West 97th Street on the Upper West Side without voting. "There is about 35 people on line standing there in a boiling, disgusting gym and I have to leave, so I will not be able to vote now." Judobits hoped to return later, she said.
Problems at the West 97th Street polling site began early in the morning when officials were locked out of the building and couldn't process voters until nearly an hour after the scheduled 6 a.m. start time. Only two scanners were sent to the site, and officials said they had expected many more at the typically busy location.
By mid-morning, both scanners at the West 97th Street polling site were broken.
"It's a total mess in there," said Anne Koenig, who spent 40 minutes inside the polling site and ended up submitting an emergency ballot. "I think there are going to be people who are going to lose their votes."
Koenig said she saw workers cramming ballots into the emergency-voting box. "It's like putting something into a trash can that's overfull," she said.
Electronic voting machines are a departure for New York City. The old voting machines with big red levers were put out to pasture after playing a part in the city's civic life for nearly 50 years.
Under the new system, reminiscent of college entrance tests, voters receive paper ballots and use pens to fill in ovals that mark their choices. Voters are then supposed to feed their ballots into a scanner that records their votes.
Valerie Vazquez, a spokeswoman for the Board of Elections, confirmed reports that poll sites were not opened on time because scanners were late in arriving. There are 1,358 poll sites in the city for Tuesday's primary.
"We have staff in every borough working to address issue that arises at poll sites throughout the day," Vazquez said. "As you know, every year, Election Days bring challenges. This year, the Board of Elections in the City of New York knew the change to the new voting system would present additional challenges."
She added: "We encourage all voters to have patience at their poll site."
Among the many voters who experienced delays was New York's senior senator, Charles Schumer. His polling site in Brooklyn didn't open on time, forcing Schumer and other voters to wait about 15 minutes. Even after the precinct opened, it took another 10 minutes for site workers to get the scanning machines up and running.
Schumer managed to cast his vote and catch a plane to Washington for meetings with fellow lawmakers.
Voters were turned away at a polling place on Greene Avenue in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood because of problems with the new scanner machines. "In the training class, everything went so smoothly and [now] something as simple as putting the paper in the scanner is not working," said Lucius Lindsey, an election board inspector at the Bed-Stuy polling site.
There, poll workers were still setting up around 8 a.m., taping instructional posters to the walls and organizing paperwork. Workers complained that they didn't have the security code to activate the new voting machines, and said an on-site supervisor capable of trouble-shooting the machines had not been assigned to their location.
"I did not expect that the machines wouldn't be up and running," said Chauncey Dupree, who works in construction and came to vote around 8:30 a.m. "In the primaries a lot of people don't come out anyway. If they come out and they're turned away, a lot people won't come back."
An election official finally entered the security code, and just before 9:30 a.m. the first voter, an election site inspector, filled out the first ballot. But when the voters tried feeding their completed ballots into the scanner, they wouldn't fit — the paper was too large for the machine.
"I'm disgusted," said Lindsey, who said he made numerous calls to the Brooklyn Board of Elections to complain about the machines and the lack of an on-site coordinator, with no response. "It discourages the voters."
Vazquez, the spokeswoman for the Board of Elections, said in an email that the poll workers may have been using the emergency ballot, which is larger, instead of the regular ballot designed to fit in the scanner.
That turned out to be the case. By 11 a.m., Lindsey said poll workers at the Bed-Stuy site had corrected the mix-up and switched to regular ballots. "The only issue now is the people filling out the ballots," he said. Voters had been marking more than one candidate per race on the ballot. "The separation between the candidates is a little hard to tell, especially for older people," Lindsey said.
Cheryl Moody, a 38-year-old financial comptroller, voted in Harlem on West 134th Street without any problems at all. But she reported that one of two scanners at her polling site broke before 9 a.m. "How can you have one voting machine for this entire district? One of them is broken — this is ridiculous," she said.
In East Harlem, where many New Yorkers only speak Spanish, voters complained about the lack of translators.
"We don't have Spanish-speaking people to translate to the voters. And the new system with the machines is a lot of trouble," said Maria E. Rivera, who works at a senior center.
Some voters experienced no difficulties. "It was really easy," said Barbara Glickstein, a 55-year-old public health nurse, after she cast her ballot in SoHo. She watched an instructional video on the website of radio station WNYC because she had seen posts on Facebook from friends who said they had a hard time reading the ballot.
But voter frustration was dominant on the Upper West Side.
Voters complained about the size of the print on the ballots and the privacy provided by the polling booths. At West 97th Street site on the Upper West Side, poll workers didn't have enough privacy sleeves or folders to help maintain confidentiality.
Danielle Lee, 41, said he "would be concerned about the validity" of results from the West 97th Street polling site "just because so many people left unable to cast their ballots in a timely manner."
Joseph Lawrence, a polling coordinator, declared it a "disaster" when both scanning machines broke. "We have only two machines and with the heat, I believe, it has affected them. They've jammed. Both of them," he said. "So, we've had to go to the emergency ballot process which means we'll have to count the votes at the end of the night right here."
He added: "If you'd like to help, you're more than welcome."

Random Inscribing Polytopes
Ross M. Richardson, Van H. Vu, Lei Wu
For convex bodies K with C2 boundary in ℝd, we provide results on the volume of random polytopes with vertices chosen along the boundary of K which we call random inscribing polytopes. In particular, we prove results concerning the variance and higher moments of the volume, as well as show that the random inscribing polytopes generated by the Poisson process satisfy central limit theorem.

BEAVER CREEK - Sunday was a much happier day for the U.S. Ski Team at the Birds of Prey World Cup giant slalom at Beaver Creek.
Coming off Saturday's debacle in super-G - five of seven Americans were DNFs - Sunday was a big bounce-back. Not only did Ted Ligety win the whole shooting match, but Tim Jitloff, Warner Nickerson and Bode Miller all made the flip and finished in the points, while Ski and Snowboard Club Vail alumnus Will Gregorak made his World Cup debut.
Welcome to the club
The feel-good story of the day had to be Nickerson. In seven previous World Cup starts, dating back to 2005, the 29-year-old had never made the flip. In fact, he wasn't even in the Birds of Prey field last year. He was fore-running it.
So Nickerson was downright jacked to make the flip after the morning run, finishing 24th.
"Four years ago, I raced here and blew out on The Abyss," Nickerson said after the first run. "I was so mad that today was my retribution. It's been four years and I'm going to crush that thing. I had a good run and I'm totally psyched."
After a good inspection for the second run - he described the new set as similar to the first - Nickerson put down two runs in one day for the first time in his World Cup career, earning his first points.
"I'm 29-years-old and It's kind of painful to keep ski racing and not get the results you want, not get the goals you want," Nickerson said. "Today was great. Today was awesome. Hopefully, Ted will crush it and we'll celebrate."
Ligety did, and there was doubtless much rejoicing.
Jitloff's outlook on life has to be much better after Sunday. He was enduring a very tough start to the season. In his last warm-up before Birds of Prey, he went into the netting at a Nor-Am GS in Aspen, which is not exactly how you want to set the tone.
Jitloff ended up 23rd.
"The interesting thing was my goal today was to get down, two runs without falling, and I actually went down on my hip on that second run on the fifth gate, but I saved it," he said. "I lost some speed, but I got down. It feels good to get a finish."
Miller finished, but it was another tough day for the fan favorite. He changed to a new set of Head skis - incidentally, the same style Ligety used for the win - but struggled with the same part of the course that got him in Saturday's super-G. He made the turn too low and ended up in soft snow.
Miller did finish 8.68 seconds of Ligety's pace to pick up points.
"It's always disappointing when you tank out of races," Miller said. "This hill, it's been a trend for me. If I can make it down without big mistakes, I win. If not, I don't. There's not a whole lot of margin in between because it's pretty unforgiving."
Tommy Ford nearly made the flip, but small bobble on Red Tail was his undoing.
First start
Gregorak, a veteran of Ski and Snowboard Club Vail, made his first World Cup start. It did not turn into made-for-TV movie, but first starts generally don't.
Gregorak, who just turned 20 at the end of September, was less than a second off the flip, though there were several racers between him and No. 30.
"You want to have butterflies beforehand. When you push away from the gate, you want them to go away and be all focus," he said. "That's pretty much how it was today. I pretty much got down to the bottom and started to think. My head got away at the bottom."
It was good learning experience for Gregorak, who is now on the same team with guys he grew up idolizing like Miller and Ligety. He's found the team welcoming and realizes that these guys he watched on TV are real people, too. Gregorak likes to talk to the veterans to get an idea of what's in store with the courses, but thinks he has to keep his own skiing style.
Though he didn't make the flip, Gregorak will travel with the team to Val d'Isere, France, and Alta Badia, Italy, to compete in World Cup technical events.
"Now, I've got to go out and race against them," Gregorak said. "It's just that level of competition I have to adapt to, so I can be confident to ski hard all the way down."

Mississippi's corrections chief Christopher Epps has begun a two-year term as president of the American Correctional Association.
Epps was sworn in this past week at the ACA Winter Conference in Houston, Texas. The association has more than 20,000 members from 60 countries.
Epps plans to focus his tenure as president on health care issues, more rehabilitation, less administrative segregation and more re-entry programs, according to a news release. Administrative segregation refers to taking inmates considered a security threat into solitary confinement.
Epps is in his 11th year as Mississippi's corrections commissioner and is the longest serving commissioner in the Department of Corrections' history.
