Here is a look at the fate of some of the legislation during the 2013 session of the General Assembly.
GUN CONTROL - In response to December's school shooting in Newtown, the state expanded its ban on assault weapons, created a ban on ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds, and expanded background checks.
STATE BUDGET - Lawmakers passed a two-year, $44 billion tax and spending plan that shifts about $6.4 billion, mostly federal Medicaid reimbursement funds, out from under the constitutional spending cap, leaving the budget at about $37.6 billion.
SCHOOL SAFETY - A school safety infrastructure council will set standards and administer $15 million in grants to help districts conduct security assessments and make improvements. Schools that choose to hire security officers must hire active or retired police officers.
CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH - The bill focuses on prevention, early identification and intervention techniques among mental health providers. It seeks to increase coordination among agencies, schools, health centers and families, and reduce the stigma that comes with seeking help.
DRIVER'S LICENSES FOR IMMIGRANTS - Allows immigrants to receive driver's licenses regardless of their citizenship status.
UCONN EXPANSION - The Next Generation plan, funded by $1.5 billion in bonds, is intended to help the state university system build new labs, classrooms and housing, and allow for a 30 percent increase in enrollment, much of it in the science, technology, engineering and math fields.
MINIMUM WAGE - The current $8.25 an hour will rise to $8.70 on Jan. 1, 2014, and to $9 on Jan. 1, 2015.
GMO LABELING - A provision delays implementation of a labeling requirement for genetically modified food until other states enact similar laws.
MIXED MARTIAL ARTS - The state ends its ban on the fighting sport, allowing venues in Hartford, Bridgeport and elsewhere to host the popular events.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING - New statutes increase penalties for pimps and "johns" and removes prostitution convictions from the records of people identified as victims of human trafficking.
MATTRESS RECYCLING - A nonprofit council of mattress producers is created to develop a plan for managing discarded mattresses.
PRICE GOUGING - A ban on severe-weather price gouging is extended to services such as snow removal.
KENO - The budget authorizes the state lottery to implement keno. The game could be located in bars and restaurants.
DEATH CERTIFICATES - Despite lobbying by the Newtown town clerk, the legislature declined to adopt a bill that would restrict the public's access to death certificates for the 26 victims of the Dec. 14 shootings.
ENERGY AUCTION - The legislature opposed Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's proposal to auction off electricity services for about 800,000 customers who haven't selected a power company. The proposal was projected to generate $80 million from electric companies vying for those customers.
CAR TAX - Malloy's proposal to exempt the first $20,000 of a vehicle's assessed value from the local property tax failed to receive consideration.
DEATH WITH DIGNITY - A legislative committee did not act a proposal that would have allowed physicians to help dying patients end their own lives.
SENTENCING FOR JUVENILE OFFENDERS - Legislation that would give a second chance to certain juvenile offenders serving lengthy prison sentences died in the Senate.
BED BUGS - Time ran out on legislation that would have delineated the responsibilities of landlords and tenants in dealing with the domestic critters, as lawmakers in both chambers fiddled with the details.

The Elk Grove-Sheldon High boys basketball program will not be allowed to participate in the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs this season, one of several sanctions levied against the program for multiple violations of the California Interscholastic Federation by-laws, the section said in a statement released Monday.
Among the violations are several instances of efforts to persuade current high school players to transfer to Sheldon, providing free tickets to postseason events, parents paying for meals for potential future players and open gym practices with players who were not currently enrolled at the school but later transferred to Sheldon.
Last week, Sheldon coach Joey Rollings was suspended four weeks by the Elk Grove Unified School District in relation to the investigation.
Rollings coached Sheldon to a large-school-record four consecutive Division I section championships the past four seasons.

The actress needs to learn how to be people. So, she went to prom! Our favorite black person is growing up, and growing up means going to priggity-prom, y'all. In a wee pink dress.
So look at her! Doesn't she look nice? It's almost as if she's not some oddly-nutritioned movie starrish type person. She looks like a regular girl and we are horrible people for keeping these photos cycling on the internet. What a disaster.
Just like prom always is!

Kawasaki's Tom Sykes did have a great start and was one of the favourites for the victory, but crashed on the first lap. The reigning champ was unable to remount and missed out on some valuable points.
In the beginning it was Guintoli who took the lead at turn one, but there was a tangle of bikes bringing out the yellow flags when Kawasaki's Loris Baz clipped the machine of his team-mate Sykes, with Huddersfield's finest taking Voltcom Suzuki's Alex Lowes with him on turn 2. All three riders fell, but hobbled away – ending their chances of a podium before they even completed the first rotation.
Pata Honda's Jonathan Rea managed to avoid the pile-up but even though he stayed on his bike went wide and slipped down to 16th. Elsewhere at the top of the field Guintoli was able to plough on ahead with Elias Davies and Melandri close behind.
On the third lap Melandri got the better of his former BMW team-mat Davies to go into second, with the three most experienced riders dominating the opening stages. Voltcom Suzuki's Eugene Laverty slowly began to creep up on the Ducati of Davies going into fifth, followed by Pata Honda's Leon Haslam with 13 laps remaining.
On lap six Rea made up ten places, and was eighth, just behind Ducati's Davide Giugliano. The Italian had the Northern Irishman's team-mate as his target, as he began to close the gap on Haslam for sixth place. Meanwhile Welshman Davies got the better of Elias on the back straight to go into third on lap seven.
While all the action happened further down the grid, Guintoli was locked in a fight with his more diminutive team-mate Melandri and the pair had a five second lead from Davies by lap seven. By lap nine it was a distinctively Aprilia battle with the colleagues setting almost identical lap times around the Malaysian track. On the same rotation Laverty overtook Elias, but the former MotoGP contender was not giving up and tried to fight back.
A lap later Alstare's Christian Iddon crashed out while in a solid 11th overall, just behind fellow Brit and Evo contender, Leon Camier. But at the top of the pack Melandri took the lead on the final turn of lap ten to edge ahead of Guintoli.
Further down the running order the Pata Honda lads were having their own mini battle. On turn 14 Rea out paced his team-mate to take sixth, pushing Haslam down to seventh. With five laps remaining it became a three-way fight for the final step of the rostrum, between Davies, Elias and Laverty. But while the trio were fighting it out the leading Aprilia's had an eight second advantage.
Laverty found some extra pace to go into third after making a solid move on the final corner on lap 12 over Davies. On the penultimate lap Elias was on course for his best result of the year so far, as he took back fourth from Davies at turn 1, but that was only to last four corners as Davies retook the spot.
On the final rotation the fight for first came down to the final corner but Melandri had that extra pace to take the win from his team-mate Guintoli, with Laverty taking third from Davies and Elias. Rea, Haslam and Giugliano completed the top eight.
Kawasaki's David Salom won the Evo category, finishing ninth overall. Crocked Camier, who is still nursing a bicep injury from Donington Park rounded off the top ten and was the second fastest Evo machine this morning.

PARKERSBURG - Wood County's 63-year-old excess levy for schools was renewed by voters in a special election Saturday.
Wood County Clerk Mark Rhodes said the final tally was 4,343 for the levy and 1,137 against the levy with a turnout of 10.09 percent of the county's registered voters.
Dr. Patrick Law, superintendent of Wood County Schools, said the levy, which amounts to a $16 million supplement to the system's budget, helps pay for extras the school system provides to students.
"We will be able to continue programs we've had in place including additional school nurses, reading teachers, additional support for classrooms and good solid salaries that attract good teachers," he said "With that we hope we will continue to be one of the best school systems in the state of West Virginia and help our students achieve all they want to in life."
Law said a defeat for the levy would result in the loss of those items and cuts would go into effect on July 1.
"We would lose all the support and obviously we would have to look at cutting positions that would be no longer funded and wouldn't have the money to cover," he said. "We'd have to reduce salaries and benefits; we would lose a lot."
Passage of the levy does not increase tax rates. The additional funds will allocate $299,901 for salaries and another $200,000 will be put toward school technology grants for infrastructure and equipment.
The excess levy rates will be 36.72 cents (per $100 valuation) for Class II property and 73.44 cents for Class III and IV property.
Continuing excess levy funds are used for staff and employee benefits, maintenance/operations of buildings not covered by state aid formula; transportation; school supplies;, West Virginia University Extension and libraries.
Items the levy will fund are:
$925,000 for reading resource teachers.
$375,000 for school nurses.
$1.7 million for continuing maintenance and buildings and equipment.
$9,953,803 to maintain competitive salaries and benefits for teachers, service personnel and administrators.
$447,913 for Parkersburg and Wood County Libraries and Vienna Library.
$200,000 for technology grants.
$800,000 for salaries for coaches and academic sponsors.
$570,000 for supplement funding for substitute service and professional employees.
$800,000 for a dental program for all employees.
$225,000 for copier service and school materials.
$275,000 for instructional materials for all students.
$150,000 for Local School Improvement Council projects.
$140,000 for library/media supplies, books, equipment, software and services.
$150,000 for alternative school for troubled students.
$50,000 for WVU Extension Service Program in the county.
$8,000 for Artsbridge and other art enrichment programs.

"Business School" is the seventeenth episode of the third season of the American comedy television series The Office, and the show's forty-fifth episode overall. Written by Brent Forrester, and directed by Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly creator Joss Whedon, the episode aired on NBC on February 15, 2007.[1]
In the episode, Michael is invited by Ryan to speak to his business school class. When many of the students question the usefulness of paper in a computerized world, Michael attempts to inform the class of how essential paper is. Meanwhile, a bat becomes trapped in the office, leading Dwight and Creed on a mission to protect the employees.
Ryan Howard (B. J. Novak) invites Michael Scott (Steve Carell) to speak at his business school class. Michael is excited, but Ryan admits in a talking head interview that he has only invited Michael because his professor promised to bump up the grade of any student who brings his boss into class. During his introduction of Michael to his classmates, Ryan predicts that Dunder Mifflin will become obsolete within five to ten years. However, Michael could not hear him and proceeds to ruin the event with his antics (including tearing pages out of a student's textbook to prove you "can't learn from textbooks"). Michael is then taken aback when one of Ryan's classmates asks for Michael's opinion of Ryan's prediction. Infuriated and hurt, Michael punishes Ryan by relocating his desk to the "annex," where Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling) works, who babbles uncontrollably in excitement.
Meanwhile, Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) discovers a bat in the ceiling, and accidentally lets it loose into the office, sending the employees scurrying for cover. Stanley immediately goes home. As many of the employees hide, Dwight enlists the help of Creed (Creed Bratton) to expel the bat. Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) exploits Dwight's paranoia, and pretends that he is turning into a vampire. Dwight eventually catches the bat with a garbage bag after it lands on Meredith's head.
Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer), in the meantime, invites her co-workers to her art show after work, but few show any enthusiasm, leaving her feeling alienated and sad. The art show doesn't go as planned, and she begins to doubt her abilities. When Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nunez) shows up with his partner Gil, they critique her art, and note that Pam's art has been let down by her lack of courage, not realizing that she is standing right behind them. As she begins to take her work down, Michael appears and, in a moment of sincere kindness, compliments her work and asks to buy her drawing of the office building. Pam embraces him as her eyes tear up. Michael soon places Pam's drawing on the wall next to his office.
"Business School" was the second Office episode written by Brent Forrester. Forrester had previously written "The Merger". The episode was the first to be directed by Joss Whedon. Whedon, who is a friend of both producer Greg Daniels and Jenna Fischer, and also met most of the production staff prior to the episode, stated that he chose to direct the episode "because I already know the writing staff and a bunch of the cast, and I adore the show."[2] When informed that the episode was about a bat entering into the office and one of the characters pretending to be a vampire, Whedon thought that it was a joke, stating "Didn't I just leave this party?" in reference to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In an interview featured on the third season DVD, Whedon joked that the "Business School" episode and his former TV show were very similar because "Buffy [...] was sad and depressing but... it was funny. Especially when people died. And a lot of people do die in ['Business School']."[3] But upon completing the episode, Whedon stated "That was just coincidence. But that's how that happened. God, it was fun."[2] Whedon stated that he was surprised with the amount of input he was allowed with the script. "I wouldn't say freedom to do things with it...But way more input was asked for than I would have ever anticipated." At Pam's art show, the pieces which she was supposed to have painted didn't suit Whedon. "I got to the set and saw Pam's art, and I was like, 'This is not right.'" Whedon said that he held up filming for over an hour until the staff was able create new pieces of art.[2]
For the scenes which involved filming with a bat, the production team used an actual bat, an animated bat, and a mechanical bat. When around the actual bat, Kate Flannery, who portrays Meredith Palmer, stated that "we had to be extremely quiet around [it], basically pretending to scream."[4] California State University, Northridge served as the backdrop for Ryan's business school and the art show.[5]
The episode received generally good reviews from critics. Brian Zoromski, of IGN, stated that "'Business School' was an exercise in what works best in an Office episode." Zoromski also praised Joss Whedon's directorial debut for the show, stating that "Whedon's direction and sense of humor was both excellently put to use and alluded to in the scenes in which Jim hilariously pretended to become a vampire." Zoromski went on to say that the acting of John Krasinski and Rashida Jones, who portrays Karen Filippelli, helped to make the vampire scenes the funniest parts of the episode. He gave the episode a 9.1 out of 10.[6] Abby West, of Entertainment Weekly, stated that "This show has always been able to turn on a dime and take the comedy to a soul-stirring dramatic climax with just the lightest of touches, and last night was no different." West went on to praise Michael and Pam's scene at the art show as one of these moments.[7]

A high-through-put multi-locus pathogen detecting system for strain identification and population genetic studies of Xylella fastidiosa. Phytopathology. 95(6):S61. Technical Abstract: The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) causes Pierce's disease of grape (PD) and almond leaf scorch disease (ALSD), as well as economically important diseases of a number of other fruit crops and ornamental plants. We developed a multiplex diagnostic platform for Xf genetic analysis using a multi-locus simple sequence repeat (SSR) DNA marker system. This system employs a multiple fluorescent-labeled genotyping format analyzed by an ABI 3100 genetic analyzer. We combined this system with our rapid sample preparation protocol to create a high-through-put Xf pathogen diagnostic and genetic analysis system. Genetic analyses of California's Xf populations were performed with this system by testing PD-associated Xf strains from four grape growing counties and ALSD-associated Xf strains from the San Joaquin Valley's almond growing regions. This pathogen detection system worked well for both plants (grape and almond) and insects (green sharpshooter and glassy-winged sharpshooter). The system avoids the time-consuming bacterial isolation step and reduces the chance of sample loss due to contamination and culture difficulties. The sensitivity, specificity and ability to detect Xf polymorphism in plant and insect hosts make this system an ideal tool for studies of Xf genetics and epidemiological risk assessment analyses.

Eight Players to Watch in NCAA Quarterfinals
by Corey McLaughlin | LaxMagazine.com
Of all the players to watch this weekend, Maryland faceoff man Curtis Holmes could have the most impact on his game. Holmes and the Terps take on top-seeded Syracuse in Gillette Stadium on Sunday.
The set of four NCAA Division I men's quarterfinals this weekend is appetizing with compelling matchups across the bracket. After looking at 16 sweet players to watch in advance of last weekend's first-round games, here's a list of the elite eight to watch Saturday and Sunday at Hofstra University and Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts — again listed in descending order of excitement.
8. Kevin Ridgway, Notre Dame, Sr. D
Ridgway, a first-team All-Big East pick, has been an important part of an Irish defense that's surrendered only 6.54 goals per game. Duke scored 15 goals last week in its first round game against Delaware. One could safely assume Notre Dame doesn't plan on allowing close to that number, and Ridgway will draw a top assignment. He was drafted by the Hamilton Nationals in the third round of the Major League Lacrosse draft. He'll hope to stay MLL ineligible for another week and make the final four again with Notre Dame.
7. Mike Rock, Duke, Sr. G
Rock was a backup until last week, when he was called into starting duty in place of Dan Wigrizer, who was out because of a concussion suffered prior to Saturday's game against Delaware. It's always interesting to see how a relatively untested goalie performs in the postseason. Rock made 12 saves in the win over the Blue Hens and is 3-0 this season. In Duke's season-opener with Notre Dame, Rock played the final quarter, making one save and allowing five goals. How will this one go, or will Wigrizer be able to return to the field? Full disclosure: I went to the same high school at Rock, Bay Shore on Long Island, a fine institution with a boys' team coached by Tim Cox. A friend of mine who played with Rock in an alumni game told me this week, "He had good stick skills and good awareness of what was going on out there."
6. Joel White, Syracuse, Sr. LSM
One of the keys for the Orange will be limiting or preventing Maryland scoring chances in transition. That's just about what every team has tried when they've played the Terps' this season. So, how nice would it be for Syracuse to end some of those transition opportunities, and then begin some of their own? Paging Joel White. That's what he can do. And though they bring different strengths to the table as long pole defenders, if I were Joel White, I would be sick about hearing how Villanova's Brian Karalunas is the best long stick midfielder in the country. Karalunas was selected over White for Big East Defensive Player of the Year. The pick isn't unfair; just could provide some inspiration for White as he closes out a terrific four-year career. White was a unanimous first-team all-conference pick by the Big East coaches and Karalunas wasn't, but Karalunas got defensive player of the year honors.
5. Mark Matthews, Denver, Jr. A
The 6-foot-4 attackman was on the list of 16 players to watch last week and had a small type of coming out party in Denver. He was held pointless in the first half against Villanova, but a few second-half highlight reel goals (at right) were a good starting point for the Canadian to introduce himself to us Americans. His ability to handle the ball in tight spaces, a trait honed while growing up paying indoor lacrosse, was on display. This week, Matthews could draw Johns Hopkins' Tucker Durkin as the primary defender assigned to cover him. Look out for that.
4. Matt Dolente, Johns Hopkins, Sr. FO/M
Dolente is the nation's best specialist, winning 67 percent of faceoffs he's taken this year, and giving the Blue Jays tons of more possessions than opponents. The Pioneers' Chase Carraro has been known to leave a footprint on games, too, and has won 60 percent. But Dolente took care of a 66-percent winner last week in Hofstra's John Antoniades, securing 13 of 20 draws and getting eight ground balls. Can he keep it going? The only unit I've seen who has been able to slow Dolente down is Maryland's Curtis Holmes and the Terps wingmen, who held Dolente to 12-for-25 in the rivalry game won by Hopkins, 12-11, in overtime April 16.
3. Rob Pannell, Cornell, Jr. A
The Tewaaraton Award frontrunner scored a game-high four goals in Cornell's first meeting with Virginia, an 11-9 loss March 12 at the Face-Off Classic at the Baltimore Ravens' stadium. That was the first game back for David Lau, who had been out with a hamstring injury and was moved from midfielder to attack; a decision that coach Ben DeLuca at the time said would benefit the Big Red long term to give them another play maker on attack. The spotlight has only brightened on the Cornell offense, and Pannell, since then.
Pannell, from Smithtown on Long Island, will also be back near home playing at Hofstra, which has some special value for him. He still has the large placard taken from the Cornell's 2009 quarterfinal appearance at Hofstra in his frat house bedroom. Welcome Cornell Big Red, it says.
2. Steele Stanwick, Virginia, Jr. A
Stanwick has a chance to put himself in heavy consideration for the Tewaaraton Award if he can lead an effort to beat Cornell. Big Red defenseman Max Feely held Stanwick scoreless in the first meeting March 12, but it's hard to imagine that will happen again. Much of the Virginia offense is now relying on Stanwick without the Bratton twins in the lineup, and they were on the field for the first Cornell game.
Stanwick is now feeling closer to 100 percent healthy, after dealing with a calf injury that has healed. But a strained foot still bothers him. Nevertheless, his eight-point performance Sunday in a first-round comeback win over Bucknell was nothing short of impressive. He scored consecutive goals to tie the score at 12 with 1:46 left. Earlier in the season, he also had the overtime goal in Virginia's 11-10 win over North Carolina April 11 (this is the play on which he injured the calf). And before that, he came up clutch Feb. 26 against Stony Brook, when for the first time Virginia played without Shamel and Rhamel Bratton due to suspensions. Stanwick scored five goals, including the overtime winner, with a game-high seven points. Can we see some more magic?
1. Curtis Holmes, Maryland, So. FO/M
Of all the matchups this weekend, Maryland's faceoff performance against Syracuse is the biggest to watch, and is the key to a potential upset of the tournament top seed. "The one glaring thing they do extremely well is faceoffs," Syracuse coach John Desko told reporters this week.
Holmes is a 60-percent face off winner and has taken nearly every faceoff for the Terps while "we've been trying to find ourselves there with matchups," Desko said of using mainly seniors Jeremy Thompson and Josh Knight and freshman Ricky Buhr, neither of whom has won more than 51 percent of his faceoffs this season.
Holmes will get the greatest share of the attention and his final stat numbers will be scrutinized, but the Maryland wingmen, and more, are just as important. "They make it a 10-man type of ground ball," Johns Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala said of Maryland's face off approach after the Blue Jays played the Terps last month.
Desko agreed, saying "They create a lot of transition off their faceoffs. You have to plan for violations. They're a team somewhat like us in they try to get some goals in different ways other than just the set offense. The biggest challenge is going to be the faceoffs and making good use of our possessions."
Holmes will try to limit them.

IRELAND: Greencore reports drop in FY profits
Irish food group Greencore today (6 December) reported a drop in annual profits as costs linked to its aborted merger with Northern Foods hit the company's bottom line.
Greencore booked net profit from continuing operations of GBP19.9m (US$31.1m) for the year to 30 September, a fall of 7.8%.
The company's annual net profit included GBP11.7m in costs linked in part to charges from its failed attempt to merge with UK rival Northern. Greencore saw its plans derailed by UK poultry supplier Boparan Holdings, which acquired Northern in April.
The costs also included restructuring charges and a legal settlement, Greencore noted.
However, Greencore's underlying profits fared better and the results boosted its stock, a day after its shares tumbled following its admission that talks to sell the business had failed.
Greencore's shares fell 11% yesterday after it said takeover talks with a mystery suitor had ended. Today, Greencore's shares were up 3.61% at EUR0.66 on the Irish Stock Exchange.
Excluding the costs, Greencore's net profit jumped 47.6% to GBP31.5m. However, the company's operating profit dipped from GBP51.6m to GBP51.5m as its cost of sales increased. Operating margin from its core convenience foods dropped 20 basis points to 6.7%.
Revenue was up 8.7% to GBP804.2m. Like-for-like sales, which excluded an extra selling week in the year and the impact of Greencore's acquisition of US firm On The Roll, increased 4.3%.
CEO Patrick Coveney said the year had seen the "transformation" of Greencore into a "focused and growing convenience food business".
Coveney said Greencore was "delighted" with the way the company's two acquisitons - On The Roll and UK desserts and sandwich maker Uniq - had been integrated into the group.
He added: "Whilst the UK and US food markets remain challenging, we are confident of being able to drive further growth and shareholder value through our close customer relationships, strong operational performance and outstanding products."
Sectors: Bakery, Chilled foods, Condiments, dressings & sauces, Frozen, Private label
Companies: Greencore, Northern Foods, Boparan Holdings, Uniq
US: Greencore to expand in US with Marketfare buy
Ireland's Greencore said today (17 April) that it plans to build on its presence in the US through the acquisition of convenience food firm Marketfare Foods for US$36m....

Popcorn stitch? Hat and Baby blanket pattern?
I am trying to use the popcorn stitch and make an EASY, FAST baby blanket in knitting, not crocheting. Can anyone explain to me how to do the popcorn stitch? I am looking for a blanket and hat pattern. Many thanks! This is the first time I am on this site. Sandy in NJ
I found this pattern for a knit version of the "popcorn stitch":
I believe it's also called a "trinity stitch" (in case you want to google for it).
With the "(k1, p1, k1) all in next stitch", you have to do exactly what it says. You knit into a stitch WITHOUT sliding it off the left needle, then you purl the same stitch WITHOUT sliding it off the left needle, and then you knit it again, and this last time, you slip the stitch off the left needle.
That gives you bobbley-looking stitch.
I hope it helps!
Oops, I forgot to post this link I found for you (for a trinity stitch):

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
Many computer-based inferences in contemporary biology are comparative and would benefit from the rigorous and flexible approach of evolutionary comparative analysis (ECA), in which similarities and differences between evolved things are treated explicitly as outcomes of an evolutionary process. A practical example would be inferring regulatory sites in the human genome as slow-evolving non-coding regions in a multi-species genome comparison. Broader application of such approaches is hampered by lack of an interoperability infrastructure. We are working with domain experts to develop formal ontologies and other artifacts, such as file formats, data standards, and workflow environments, and to apply them to improving interoperability in this domain.
Nearly all scientists who regularly use online resources on genes, proteins and genomes make use of comparative data to advance biomedical research. For instance, researchers often make useful inferences by comparing human genes (as well as proteins, reactions, interactions, pathways, behaviors and so on) to those of more well studied, experimentally tractable "model organisms" such as the mouse. In principle, robust and flexible ECA methods can be applied to a huge range of such comparative problems, but in practice, this is difficult. Our technologies will lower the barrier to applying ECA methods. Use of these technologies by service-providers and scientific end-users will increase the value of comparative data by expanding the depth and breath of inferences made from these data.
Facilitate data interchange both for end-users and for data providers, increase scientific re-use of available (pre-computed) comparative data sets, increase representation and re-use of ECA protocols, and facilitate validation, automation and scale-up of ECA approaches.
Research activities and technical approach
Efforts began in 2006 with organizing a group of domain experts and developing a proposal for what was to become the NESCent Evolutionary Informatics ("evoinfo") working group. NESCent is an NSF-supported center focusing on synthetic and infrastructure-building activities. The evoinfo working group has met 3 times since 2007. After establishing priorities, Dr. Vos and others began to focus on an XML-based data file format, nexml. Others led by Dr. Stoltzfus focused on developing CDAO (Comparative Data Analysis Ontology). The group and its members also developed a Concept Glossary, a list of use-cases, a guide to supporting the existing NEXUS file format standard, and a White Paper on a MIAPA (Minimal Information for a Phylogenetic Analysis) standard.
The fourth meeting of the group in March, 2009, will be a "Data Resources Interoperability Hackathon" in which we work with data providers (from the scientific community) on using CDAO and nexml to exchange data.
In pursuit of the other project goals, a team led by Dr. Stoltzfus has begun a project to develop and apply a workflow system that applies advanced computer science technologies, including logical denotations for semantic transformation, a Domain-Specific Language (DSL), and automated planning technology for discovering and configuring workflows.

Fans fail to recognise Coldplay's Chris Martin
Martin even gave the example of a woman who works next door to the band's London studio to prove his point. "She asked me the other day if I was in insurance. And if it's not insurance or a lawyer, it's another singer," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
Martin has admitted that many of his fans cannot correctly place and often mistake him for other artists. He added: "The other ones I get are James Morrison and James Blunt and I always say, ''Yep!'' because you should never disappoint somebody."

And during Thursday's monthly Sikeston Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon, the chief executive officer of Missouri Delta Medical Center shared some of the things that make the hospital strong.
"Our hospital's employment and capital investments facilitates community growth and development," said Schrumpf. "A hospital of our size serves as an anchor for business development and expansion. During the economic downturn, we have continued to expand and hire additional staff."
In addition to impacting the economy, MDMC provides more than 25 different services, and earns good marks for them.
"For the entire 2010 year our hospital scored in the 95 percentile for patient satisfaction according to Press Ganey," said Schrumpf. The Press Ganey Data bank consists of almost 1000 hospitals and is the largest independent hospital patient satisfaction surveyor in the U.S. So far in 2011, MDMC is at 91 percent.
MDMC is also expanding, with several recently-added services and others in the works. Schrumpf detailed those for luncheon attendees.
"By this summer, the hospital will have spent over 15 million dollars in building expansion and renovations over the last three years," he said. "Again, these construction and capital investments create additional jobs and economic stimulus to our community."
To hear more about the hospital's successes, challenges and new and coming services, read the June 24 edition of the Standard Democrat.

USS HARRY S. TRUMAN, At Sea (NNS) -- The Chief of Navy Reserve, Vice Adm. John G. Cotton visited USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) Nov. 22.
Cotton toured the ship and talked to some of Truman's active-Reserve Sailors about their careers, Navy life in general, and their current deployment in support of the global war on terrorism.
For Yeoman 1st Class (SW) Rob Hudson, it was a refreshing chance to discuss his career on the active and Reserve side of the Navy, as well as his current quality of life and future aspirations.
"The visit was very personal, very down-to-earth," said Hudson. "He was very interested in where I come from, how I was mobilized and about my family."
Hudson was recalled to Truman in October 2003 as the leading petty officer of Executive Officer's Administration Division. For Hudson, it was reassuring to get the view from the head of the Navy Reserve.
"He actually understood what Reservists are supposed to do, and that's to support the active-duty folks any way we can," Hudson said.
From Truman, Cotton will visit other mobilized Reservists deployed in the region to aid in the global war on terrorism.
The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (CSG) deployed Oct. 13 and consists of USS Barry (DDG 52), USS Mason (DDG 87), USS Monterey (CG 61), USNS Arctic (T-AOE 8), USS Albuquerque (SSN 706) and aircraft from embarked Carrier Air Wing 3. The Truman CSG arrived in the Persian Gulf Nov.18, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and the global war on terrorism.

Drum Strap??
this is my first post on this website but have floated around this forum for the past couple of weeks. um but i have a problem..... i just got a drum the other day. its sort of like a conga if u are familiar with drums or anything but its called a djembe and theres just a handle to carry it. but i would like to create a strap to carry it with but this drum is probably close to a good 10 pounds or more and slightly big. i was wondering instead of yarn can i use hemp for the strength factor and then just knit a strap like a scarf and then tie it to the drum at both ends? so basically is it possible to knit with hemp?? recommendations otherwise if cant use hemp please....also what kind of stitch pattern is recommended if using to carry something? if there really isnt a standard stitch pattern for weight what would you knitters recommend?? i guess i should say that i am familiar with knitting as well lol. i have knit a couple of hats and done a bunch of scarves. i know the basics ribbing, pearl, knit, bind off, and some other stuff. thanks again...
Here are some clothing-quality hemp yarns, but I have no experience personally with them.
Knitty has a guitar strap pattern, super simple looking too....
I'm sure you could leave off the embellishments if that's not your style. ;)
lol i guess u can knit with hemp. thanks for the quick response greatly appreciated. funny that you showed a link to the guitar strap because thats exactly how i was going to make it lol just not so long of course. well thanks again i think i should be ok for now. has someone here on this site used hemp yarn?? wondering if it can support the weight of a drum or if this is just for clothing or decorative purposes...
hemp is pretty strong...
I would suggest maybe knitting every other stitch and slipping every other stitch and vice versa on subsequent rows to make it stronger, but I'd look for a second opinion on my advice lol.
Or maybe knitting with two strands at the same time. That would probably be better.
Don't know if this has helped out at all...
Think outside the box... if it bends, you can knot it, knit it, crochet it, or filet it. I've knitted hemp, baling twine, nylon rope, sisal twine, garden twine, butcher's string, wire, fishing line, plastic grocery bags, and I ramble. :rollseyes:
The point is, you never know what you can do until you try it. The best guitar strap I ever made was with cotton packaging twine, and cotton dyes whatever color you want it to be. Go for it.
thanks for the encouragement. i decided to make a bag as well as a strap for this instrument. so should be busy for awhile on this project....

Lübeck instead is pretty far out with only Hamburg in the vicinity. And I want to believeIn the madness that calls 'now'

In this Saturday, Jan. 26, 2013, Jose Crisanto Gomez, a farmer who was given a 7-month-old baby by Colombian rebels for caring, speaks during an interview in Duitama, Colombia. The Spanish and French filmmakers of "Operation E," say they were intrigued by Gomez's story because he claimed not to have known that the fair-skinned baby brought to him by rebels was born to political hostage Clara Rojas. Rojas gave birth to the baby boy in 2004 while a hostage of Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, has asked a court to prevent the film, "Operation E," from being shown in the country, saying it would harm her child and "the free development of his personality."

With IU East's fortieth anniversary rapidly approaching, we've been sorting through the archives and finding all kinds of interesting pictures from our university's past. There's only one problem – a lot of them have no identification!
And that's where we need your help. This Friday, December 3rd, from 11-1, the library will host a picture party, and we encourage you to come help us identify these pieces of our history. And even if you haven't been at IU East long, it's still a good opportunity to hear some great stories about our past!
We have hundreds of pictures we need to identify – who is in them, what's going on, when it's happening. Even if you can't be at the party, you can see all the photos online at flickr.com/iuelibrary. To help us identify them, just type information in the comments boxes. Our archivist can use that information to tag all the photos for a digital collection so they can be easily searched.
Please RSVP to email@example.com if you're interested in attending – we hope to see you there!

Texas AG Ken Paxton Tells Schools To Ignore Federal Guidance On Transgender Bathroom Use
A Safeway cashier in the District of
Columbia has apologized for calling a gay couple "faggots," gay
weekly Metro Weekly reported.
According to Brendan Harrington and
Jason Morgan, a cashier at their local Safeway grocery store brazenly
called the couple "fucking faggots" to their faces.
"We put our groceries up on the
conveyer belt, some frozen dinner and wine, and [the cashier] said,
'Oh God, they're faggots,'" said
Morgan. "And then Brendan said, 'I'm sorry I didn't hear what
you said.' And she said, 'You guys are fucking faggots.'"
After the cashier, who said her name
was D'Angela, ignored the men's request to speak to the manager, they
decided to walk out of the store.
"I shouldn't have to put up with this
when I'm buying groceries," Harrington said. "It's disgusting."
When neighbor Andrew Kloman heard the
news, he visited the store to speak to with the cashier, who agreed
to an on-camera apology. (The video is embedded in the right panel
of this page.)
The apology, however, failed to mollify
the couple, who characterized it as insincere.
"We're really offended that she's
still working there," Morgan said, "and that she was kind
of laughing through the apology. Had this been some other corporate
business, the person would have been suspended until the
investigation was found out and clearly that wasn't done. Somebody
was able to walk in and video tape her easier than we were able to
walk in and find the general manager, which we never found."
The men have filed a complaint with the
D.C. Office of Human Rights.

Character Analysis
Mora's just a fool. He's the overconfident leader of the fascist troops who attack El Sordo. First he mounts a stupid offensive which costs many of his troops their lives, and then he's foolish enough to put himself out in the open and bait El Sordo's men to kill him. He thinks they're dead. They're not.

Each day, we comb through pages upon pages of crime reports from the Wichita Police Department. Below is a quick glance at some bits and pieces from those sheets.
These reports are designed to give you an idea of what residents and police are dealing with around town.
You can read all of the sheets by going here: WPD Media Reports (click on the "Media Reports" tab)
Aggravated assault…
Friday - 9:17 am
A 33/m reported to police that three people were talking in the 300 block of N. Market when another person told them to "shut up or he would shut them up". At that point, the man pulled up his shirt and revealed a handgun in his waistband. Police recovered the gun from the man's work vehicle. All four were taken in for questioning. The man was expected to be arrested.
Stolen and pawned…
Friday - 12:53 pm
A 69/f says someone stole property belonging to her and someone else in the 1300 block of S. Tapestry. She says she allowed the person in their home for a party. They found a pawn slip from AOK Pawnshop with their property listed. Some of the property was returned to them, other property was placed on hold until further investigation.
See something, say something…
Friday - 2:05 pm
A 39/f says four children were being abused by their mother. She says they were also exposed to their mother's drugs and drug use. She asked police to check into it. Police took all four kids into protective custody. The address of the incident is not listed due to the nature of the situation.
This escalated quickly…
Friday - 3;09 pm
A 31/f says two people tried to get her to buy meat in the 500 block of S. Ridge. When she refused, one of them started yelling at her that it's "illegal to smoke with a baby in the vehicle". The person started taking pictures of her and her baby.
Trying to steal a ramp…
Friday - 3:50 pm
A 60/f says two people tried to steal her aluminum wheelchair ramp from her home in the 2100 block of S. Pattie. They didn't succeed. There were no damages, no witnesses and no evidence to submit.
"There, you can have it…"
Friday - 4:30 pm
A 28/m who works at a business in the 3700 block of N. Woodlawn says he saw a woman stealing items from the store and hiding them in her purse. She then left the store. He followed her and asked her to stop. At first, she said "I don't have anything", but he continued following her. She then threw her purse down and said "There, you can have it!"...she took off in a car. All property was recovered.
Friday - 5:29 pm
A 30/m says someone embezzled some property from a store in the 500 block of N. Tyler by fraudulently returning unsold merchandise between January 1 and 9. The man was arrested. He was banned from all stores owned by the company (which was not listed in the report).
Friday - 6:53 pm
A 57/m says someone came to his door with a cap and vest from a utility company. He told the man he was going to lower their bill. They showed him their bill, but he didn't have a business card. The man called the utility and asked for an employee ID. The man refused to give one and said "you just go ahead and keep your (utility name) service" (the utility's name is not listed in the report).
Probably not actually Cox employees…
Friday - 11:32 pm
A 22/m called police and said two unknown men came to his home in the 4500 block of E. Central earlier in the day wearing normal clothes and wearing a "Cox" button. They told his babysitter they were there to hook up cable. He wanted to report the incident because he didn't request any cable services and he thinks the two men just wanted to get inside his home.
Saturday - 2:31 am
A 33/f says she was working at a business in the 8500 block of W. 21st N. when she lost some money in the restroom. She says two people then posted on Twitter that they took some money from the restroom at the same location. She says she has screenshots of the money that was taken and she would like to prosecute.
Blind man robbed…
Saturday - 2:51 am
A 73/m says someone came and took his wallet out of his back jeans pocket in the 700 block of N. Market. The man says he then fell to the ground. He is legally blind and didn't see who took the wallet. He was also locked out of his apartment for about an hour. He says his Kansas ID is gone, along with some other cards. He doesn't know if he had cash in the wallet or not. The man's son was also in the apartment, he didn't know his father had gone out.
Sunday - 12:41 am
A 31/f says a woman bumped into her in the bathroom of a business in the 4700 block of W. Kellogg. She noticed a while later that some property was missing from her back pocket. She was unable to find the woman who bumped into her. The report does not state what was stolen.

Postsecondary Teacher - History Professor
Screw military leaders and members of royalty. This is as powerful as it gets. Shaping and fertilizing the minds of tomorrow. Every great inventor or innovator owes credit to their education, formal or otherwise. Every great leader had to be taught how to be that way. Every great lottery winner...okay, so maybe they didn't need to go to school for that. But if they didn't have a great economics professor, their winnings may be gone in a fortnight.

[apologies if you see this message more than once, and congrats on being in the right places ;-)]
For those interested in meeting fellow user experience practitioners when traveling in Europe (and obviously those that live or work close to Amsterdam) I'd like to point your attention to the following announcement.
Since 2001 I have been organizing IA Cocktail Hours in Amsterdam, about 6 a year. These events have always been frequented by a mix of people with and without the job title Information Architect, and with or without a strong focus on IA in their work. But the conversations and, later, presentations always fell under what we now call the User Experience umbrella.
Recently, the members of the IA Cocktail Hour Amsterdam mailinglist (169 members) voted for a name change and effective today I have altered the settings of the Yahoo!Group (our main means of communication outside of the Cocktail Hours themselves) to reflect the outcome.
The events are now called the UX Cocktail Hours Amsterdam and the associated Yahoo!Group can be found here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/UXCocktailHoursAmsterdam/
Our next event is on Wednesday, May 16, in a room called The Office at the stylish Lloyd Hotel. The evening is sponsored by Macaw (http://www.macaw.nl) and they will deliver the evening's feature presentation about a Windows Presentation Framework proof-of-concept for the city of The Hague. A second presentation about a competing framework (Adobe's Apollo) hasn't been formally announced but is in the works. I also hope to have one or two volunteers present a brief trip report about the IA Summit. As usual, before, in between and afterwards there is room to network, socialize and gossip :-)
If you would like to hear more about these events, please consider subscribing to the Yahoo!Group's mailinglist (and remember to use your own email address or Yahoo! will create one for you and you'll have to read the messages online):
For more information feel free to email me.

Serving the Greater Good
The idea is to turn out young professionals who are more than competent practitioners. Journalism schools need to turn out young graduates who understand the tremendous power the media possess and who actually want to use that power in socially responsible ways.
This is not a new idea to journalists or journalism educators. Colleges and universities have been concerned about journalism ethics at least since 1924, when Nelson A. Crawford, head of the Department of Industrial Journalism at Kansas State Agricultural College, published The Ethics of Journalism with the distinguished house of Alfred A. Knopf. His aim was to contribute to a professional consciousness and an ethical philosophy that was realistic, discerning, intellectually honest, and applicable to the press as a social institution.
Professor Crawford, we're still working on it.
This fall the School acquired an opportunity to work on it as never before. The School has been selected as the first site in a campus wide initiative to help CU-Boulder students develop a stronger sense of social responsibility.
The campus' new Institute for Ethics and Civic Engagement has awarded the School $40,000. The School has matched that with $40,000 of its own to pioneer a series of new courses, conduct research and meet with professionals all for the purpose of enabling our students to see clearly how the communication professions can serve the public good.
It is heartening to see the new institute recognize the importance of the School in launching this initiative. The institute's planning group has asserted that civic and ethical responsibility comprise a cornerstone of higher education. Civic and ethical responsibility are also at the heart of journalism education.
The First Amendment identifies the press (now the media) as the only commercial enterprise in American society deserving of explicit constitutional protection. With this extraordinary degree of freedom lies an equally extraordinary degree of responsibility responsibility to sustain a system of public communication that benefits democratic processes such as opinion formation, public deliberation, grass-roots mobilization and policymaking. Through the mass media, children and adults learn the values that bind them as communities and as a society, and through the media they learn the processes of civic participation. Basically, media are the agency in American society most capable of reconnecting the dots between citizens and the institutions that are meant to serve them.
Media have often failed in these roles in recent years by discarding the notion that they themselves are pieces of a community's fabric and adopting instead the notion that they are detached observers and, increasingly, detached critics with no stake in their communities. Higher education has often suffered the same shortcoming: Rather than becoming involved in helping communities solve problems, and nurturing in students a spirit of participation toward such solutions, the academy too often has stepped to the sidelines, content to criticize from afar.
So, one of higher education's great challenges in the 21st century is also one of journalism education's great challenges: to encourage young adults to fulfill their obligations to serve a greater good.
These ideas are nothing new to this School, of course. The first sentence of our mission statement reads, The School of Journalism and Mass Communication believes that a well-informed public is the basis of democracy and that the media are responsible for providing the information and critical analysis the public requires to think and act responsibly. Like most schools of journalism and mass communication, however, we have instilled these values at various times in various courses, without a sustained theme. This project enables us, for the first time, to meet this challenge head-on and systematically.
The faculty is meeting to start planning the project, but we think it will have these features:
The campus institute began with an informal series of discussions among administrators and faculty much of the conversation dealing with the difficult concepts of character, citizenship and leadership. Educators especially at public universities have to be careful not to insist on one particular strain of morality, but rather to give students the tools to explore these qualities in themselves and the desire to explore them. This approach resonated well with a number of people drawn into the conversation, including the anonymous donor of the gift that launched the institute. The donor, I'm told, strongly suggested that the pilot for this initiative be based in journalism.
A vote of confidence in journalism educators? An indictment of the current profession? I'm not sure perhaps both. It's pretty clear, however, that when journalists are regularly discovered plagiarizing or fabricating material, when Paris Hilton's love life gets larger headlines than an important issue both presidential candidates have avoided, when political commentary is often an assemblage of clever insults, we know that there's work to be done.
The situation is enormously complicated, and no one course or symposium is going to transform professional practice, but that doesn't mean we can't try to create a more responsible future for this profession, one student at a time.
This year the integrity of CU students (and CU personnel) has been much maligned. Those of us who work here see students who care deeply about how they will use the skills they are learning not only SJMC students, but students across campus. We have an unusual opportunity to help create a different sort of reputation for CU students, and we're seizing it.
I would welcome your reaction and especially your suggestions.
