- Data redistibution (Networking) [in progress]
Description: Code coupling, executing parallel tasks, data persistence in the agent-client-server model are three examples where data redistribution between clusters occurs. Data redistribution is a communication phase where nodes on one cluster send data to nodes of the other cluster. This communication phase, in order to be efficient must tak einto account several parameters such that data redistribution pattern, latency and bandwidth of the network, bottlenecks. We have proposed several algorithms for scheduling messages in such a framework. Moreover, several algorithms of the litterature can be extended to this case. Currently running experiments aims at : 1- validates models ised when designing the algorithms 2- compare different algorithms bertween them We are using Grid 5000 because it is a platform that fits the field of study (clusters linked together by a backbone) and because it is possible to have a fine control of teh whole environment.
- Wrekavoc a tool for emulating heterogeneity (Other) [in progress]
Description: Computer science and especially heterogeneous distributed computing is an experimental science. Simulation, emulation, or in-situ implementation are complementary methodologies to conduct experiments in this context. In this paper we address the problem of defining and controlling the heterogeneity of a platform. We evaluate the proposed solution, called Wrekavoc, with micro-benchmark and by implementing algorithms of the literature.
Results: In this work we propose an emulation tool called Wrekavoc. The goal of Wrekavoc is to define and control the heterogeneity of a given platform by degrading CPU, network or memory capabilities of each node composing this platform. Our current implementation of Wrekavoc have been tested on an homogeneous cluster. We have shown that configuring a set of nodes is very fast. Micro-benchmarks show that we are able to independently degrade CPU, bandwidth and latency to the desired values. Tests on algorithms of the literature (load balancing and matrix multiplication) confirm the previous results and show that Wrekavoc is a suitable tool for developing, studying and comparing algorithms in heterogeneous environments.
- VSM-G project - step 1 (Application) [achieved]
Description: Use of grid computing for solving a in silico drug discovery problem using the VSM-G platform.
VSM-G (Virtual Screening Manager for computational Grids) is a platform dedicated to automated high throughput virtual screening. The goal of the platform is to identify within a very large molecular database (several million compounds) the best drug candidates for a given protein target. Because considerable computing power is needed for performing searches of this type within a reasonable time, VSM-G targets the use of computational grids. VSM-G is an integrated package constituted of a pre-processing engine for both protein targets and small molecules putative ligands to be screened on, and of a funel-based docking strategy. The latter is architectured as a sequence of different modules: a fast surface-matching procedure for rigid docking, next a flexible docking program, finally more elaborated molecular dynamics calculations. At each step of the funnel and depending on tuning, a proportion of inapropriate molecules can be discarded.
The present study deals with the first step of the funnel, i.e the shape matching algorithm, on a computational grid. Indeed, this Grid'5000 experiment will allow us for the first time to use the in-house "fingerprint" program on grid clusters. "Fingerprint" approximates molecular surfaces using spherical harmonic expansions. For that purpose particular deflating/inflating algorithms are used, starting from triangulated ellipsoïds embrassing the cartesian coordinates of each molecules or of the target cavities.
This experiment will highlight the behaviour of the program, estimate the profit time, and also estimate the effect of the size of the files needed for this calculation over the total computing time (granularity). Different times will be monitored such as the total processing time, the time for data transfer and the computing time. The ultimate goal of this experiment is to tune at best the parameters of the program to optimally spread the calculation on the grid. Moreover, we will estimate the best tool to distribute jobs on the grid cluster in order to interface later in optimal way VSM-G with a grid system.
This experiment being concluded, using the coefficients of the spherical harmonic expansions obtained for both protein and ligand surfaces, the candidate molecules will be ranked according to their surface complementarity. The fast shape-matching in-house algorithm that will evaluate such a complementarity is called "SHEF".
The candidate molecules ranked this way, will be next submitted to the second filter of the funnel. This step will constitute a forthcoming Grid'5000 experiment.
Total number of molecular conformers: 91 063 822
Granularity of "fingerprint" program on one processor on nancy site:
- for one conformer: processor time of execution = 2 seconds
- for one thousand of same conformer: processor time of execution = 1919 seconds
- for one thousand of different conformers: processor time of execution = 2147 seconds
For the whole experiment the total molecular conformers would take about 6 years on a single processor according to the previous average !!!!
For the 12-hours reservation, the experiment includes 9 sites and 1360 processors. It corresponds to 43 200 s for one processor and 58 762 000 s nearly 2 years time processors for all 1360 processors.
To carry out our experiment we have use the A Parameter Sweep Tool (APST) middelware. This tool automates the execution of a single program (or a small set of programs) many times, varying the runs by changing the command line arguments, the input files, or both. The individual runs are usually independent, and little or no communication takes place other than by using output files from one run as input files to another.

- Total Exchange data redistribution (Middleware) [achieved]
Description: Conception of grid-aware total exchange (all-to-all) algorithms. Scalability tests.
Results: We developed an algorithm for total exchange between two clusters that improves drastically the performance of all-to-all operations. This algorithm easily performs twice as faster than the traditional algorithm for large messages (>2MB), but it is over 8 times faster for small-medium messages (>1KB), which are the main target of traditional applications. The algorithm also presents a better scalability behavior, as we demonstrated in comparison experiences with up to 90 nodes. The results are actually the subject of papers published at EUROPAR07 and CoreGrid Symposium'07.
- Modeling LU factorization (Application) [in progress]
Description: Modeling the LU factorization is an important challenge as it can help to understand the scalability of the algorithm and helps the user to compute both the best block size and the optimal processor grid-size. Modeling the LU factorization has been addressed in several prior works.. IN the ScalaPACK users guide, a very crude model is proposed. It is simply used for showing the scalability of ScaLapack. It does not use the processor grid shape whereas it is well known that it has a great impact on the performance. Domas et al. propose a very fine model with multiple parameters for the environment (more than 30!). They use this model to compute the optimal grid size. However, they do not show how to compute these parameters. In the LAPACK Working Note 43 the authors propose a simple model with only three parameters for the environment (the bandwidth and the latency of the network and the flop rate of the processor). However, our experiments show that the value of these parameters depends on the phase of the algorithm. For instance a better floprate is achieved when updating the trailing sub-matrix than when updating the panel. It is important to note that none of the above models take into account the SMP clusters architecture where each processor can be grouped on a multi-processor node.
Results: We have proposed a model that has three environment parameters per subroutine. As it takes into account the grid-size, it is able to derive the optimal grid shape in most of the cases. Moreover, we propose a simple and fast method to compute the model parameters. Finally we show how to enhance our model for multiprocessor clusters.
- VSM-G project - step 2 (Application) [achieved]
Description: Use of grid computing for solving a in silico drug discovery problem using the VSM-G platform.
The proposed experiment deals with the second step of the funnel, i.e the flexible docking algorithm, on a computational grid. Indeed, this Grid'5000 experiment will allow us for the first time to use the GOLD program on grid clusters and to test its parallel implementation (PVM) at a large scale. GOLD uses a genetic algorithm to dock a flexible ligand to a semi-flexible protein. The program takes into account the position and conformation of the ligand and also the hydrogen bonding network in the binding site. Then, an empirical scoring function is used to rank the ligands according to their computed affinity with the protein target.
This experiment will highlight the behaviour of the program, estimate the profit time, and also estimate the effect of the size of the files needed for this calculation over the total computing time (granularity). Different times will be monitored such as the total processing time, the time for data transfer and the computing time. The ultimate goal of this experiment is to tune at best the parameters of the program to optimally spread the calculation on the grid. Moreover, we will estimate the best tool to distribute jobs on the grid cluster in order to interface later in optimal way VSM-G with a grid system.
This experiment being concluded, the best candidate molecules will be then submitted to the final module of the funnel, i.e. Molecular Dynamics simulations. This step will constitute another Grid'5000 experiment.
- VSM-G project - step 3 (Application) [in progress]
Description: Use of grid computing for solving a in silico drug discovery problem using the VSM-G platform.
Molecular dynamics (MD) calculations will constitute the ultimate step of the screening funel. Starting from several millions of candidate molecules, and after elimination of most of them through the first filters, few thousands will have to be considered by the MD procedure. Considering the lenght of MD calculation for a single protein+molecule system (several months of CPU time on a single processor), it is an absolute requirement to use a MD code presenting an efficient parallelism scheme especially tailored for cluster grids.
For that purpose, it will be necessary to test the scaling of some popular parallel MD codes such as NAMD, CHARMM and GROMACS on GRID'5000. All these codes are open source software so that it will be possible to introduce the necessary modifications in order to adapt them to running masive calculations on cluster grids.
The present experience will therefore present several facets:
- Tests of the scaling on a single cluster of the grid according to the particular architecture of this machine: processor types, network types (1Gb ethernet, infinyband, myrinet). These tests will be performed on different systems with increasing size in order to test how the calculations will be sensitive to this aspect (this will be related to the domain decomposition scheme used by the codes).
- Next it will be necessary to perform again the same tests, but using now several distant clusters to check the influence of the communications between the different machines on the MD calculations. The tests to be performed will need ressources ranging from few hours on a very large number of CPUs (up to 1000) to several days on a limited nodelist (up to 128).
After analysing the bottlenecks within the MD codes, we will then check the efficiency of different middlewares in order to choose the more suitable one for this type of simulation.
- VSM-G project - RNA/protein docking (RNADock project) Conducted by Fabrice Leclerc, Manuel Simoes, Leo Ghemtio, Bernard Maigret (Application) [achieved]
Description: Design of discrete rotamer libraries of dinucleotides for RNA/protein docking simulations (Applications) A large number of biological processes are regulated through RNA/protein interactions. A better understanding of the molecular basis for RNA/protein recognition will help to control these processes in a therapeutic or an enginerring perspective. Simulating in silico the interactions between RNA and protein molecules is achieved through docking methods. These methods involve two main functionalities related to the conformational search and the scoring evaluation of the energy of the bimolecular complexes. In this part of the projet, we focus on the first functionnality. The conformational search can be performed by exploring the conformational space on-the-fly or by searching through a pre-built conformational library in a pseudo-random way. For the sake of performance, we have opted for the second approach especially because RNA are very flexible molecules. Apart from the interaction with the protein, the RNA conformation is determined by specific stabilization forces: in particular the stacking of nucleic acid bases ("nucleotide side-chain") which involves a particular arrangement of two RNA residues in 3D space. The MC-Sym program is used to sample all possible arrangements between two adjacent residues which can be found in an RNA molecule. Each possible arrangement is defined by a matrix transformation which allows to place one residues with respect to the other one. A full-scale conformational library can be built based on a systematic and exhaustive exploration of the conformational space (backtracking) using any matrix of transformation corresponding to any arrangement between two adjacent RNA residues observed in experimental 3D structures (MC-Sym database). Even though the exploration is based on a discrete representation of RNA conformations, large computational ressources are still required for generating such conformational library for a dinucleotide (2 RNA residues). A root mean square devaition (RMSD) crirerion is used during the MC-Sym search to define how precise the library should be: a criterion of 1.5Å, for example, only retains RNA conformations which differ by more than 1.5Å of RMSD. In order to make RNA libraries easy to search, the RNA conformations generated are organized and clustered according to three geometrical constraints: the distance between the beginning and the end of the dinucleotide (4.0Å £ d £ 14.0Å, d± 0.5Å) and two torsion angles (0 £ q £ 360, d± 10°) that would define the orientation of the dinucleotide in a longer RNA chain at both ends. This is accomplished by the MC-Sym program by constraint satisfaction. Depending on the docking simulation time (user-defined) that will determine the exploration time, one may vary the RMSD value to get a more precise description of the RNA conformational space (RMSD of 0.5Å for example) for short simulations or a looser description (RMSD of 2.0Å for example) for long simulations without sacrifying the global description of conformational space. To optimize the computer time necessary for generating an RNA library for a given RMSD value, we plan to evaluate the time requirements depending on the three geometrical constraints. Since the distributions of the number of experimental 3D structures of RNA in the MC-Sym 3D database versus the geometrical constraints are not uniform, we expect a non-uniform computer time for searching through subsets of the conformational space defined by the contraints. First, we plan to distribute the RNA library building by incrementing the three geometrical constraints in an iterative way on a single processor up to x combinations of the three constraints and on all the nodes up to 1000 processors. An analysis of the CPU time for each elementary search on a single processor will be carried out and correlated with the number of RNA conformers generated. An analysis of the number of conformers versus the geometrical constraints will also be performed to evaluate the biais present in the MC-Sym database used to build the RNA libraries for a given RMSD.
- Analysis of the AllToAllV in cluster of cluster environments (Networking) [in progress]
Description: The context of this work is the total exchange of data between processes running in different clusters linked by a wide-area link (backbone). We can experiment such an environment using several sites of the Grid5000 testbed. Starting from the work done on the AllToAll operation we have extended the study to the AllToAllV operation. AllToAll in the MPI terminology means a total exchange of pieces of data of the same size between participant processes. AllToAllV implies that each piece of data may be of a different size. Unlike AllToAll, it is difficult to choose a good routing algorithm (e.g binomial tree, Bruck algorithm) depending on the data size for AllToAllV since the processes do not know the amount of data sent by the others. MPI implementations (OpenMPI, MPICH-2, GridMPI) have today a very simple implementation for AllToAllV, in which all processes send and receive asynchronously their data to all other processes and wait for the completion of all communications. Yet simple, this strategy performs better than any optimized routing scheme used in the other collective operations. We have tried more sophitiscated approaches based on message aggregation, congestion regulation and load-balance. In this kind of strategy, we select forwarders processes at each cluster, whose task is to aggregate single messages into a larger one sent over the backbone. The number of forwarders allows to control how many TCP streams simultaneously compete for the backbone. We can balance the size of the aggregated messages with an extra step at the begining where process first exchange the information about how much data they send. However, our proposal have only equaled the original AllToAllV implementation so far, bringing no significant improvement. One of the key finding of this work is that message aggregation does not improve the overall throughtput of the streams over the wide area link. Work is currently undergoing to model the behavior of the various routing strategies in the PLogP model.
- RT Boinc chess (Middleware) [achieved]
Description: Many large-scale distributed computing applications demand real-time responses by soft deadlines. To enable such real-time task distribution and execution on the volunteer resources, we previously proposed the design of the real-time volunteer computing platform called RT-BOINC. The system gives low $O(1)$ worst-case execution time for task management operations, such as task scheduling, state transitioning, and validation. In this work, we present a full implementation RT-BOINC, adding new features including deadline timer and parameter-based admission control. We evaluate RT-BOINC at large scale using two real-time applications, namely, the games Go and Chess. The results of our case study show that RT-BOINC provides much better performance than the original BOINC in terms of average and worst-case response time, scalability and efficiency.
Results: We improved the real time features of RT BOINC. The experiments was done with a chess game.

UN-REDD Provides Overview of MRV
6 June 2013: The UN Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (UN-REDD) has released a report, titled 'National Forest Monitoring Systems: Monitoring and Measurement, Reporting and Verification (M & MRV) in the context of REDD+ Activities.'
The report provides an overview of REDD+ and introduces the concept of MRV under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) including National Inventory Reports, Common Reporting Format tables, and National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventories.
With regard to guidance, the report refers to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidance and guidelines, as well as the UN-REDD Strategy on National Forest Monitoring Systems (NFMS). With regard to the UN-REDD Strategy for NFMS, the report highlights three elements: satellite land monitoring system, national forest industry, and national GHG inventory.
Overall, the report stresses the importance of a number of steps associated with NFMS's, including: awareness raising; human, technical and institutional capacity building; strategy development; and implementation. The report also highlights the importance of clear institutional roles and responsibilities, supportive legal frameworks, and sufficient attention to MRV in Phase I REDD+ activities.

This week, Pennsylvania State University's board of trustees was poised to select a new president. Now, it appears a vote is weeks - possibly months - away.
Board chairman Keith Masser, who said last month he expected a decision before the end of November, on Friday promised only that the process would conclude by June 30, the date by which president Rodney Erickson has said he will depart.
Trustees emerged from a private meeting Friday at the Nittany Lion Inn in State College and said they needed more time to consider candidates. That, they said, is why they canceled a public meeting at which they had been expected to vote.

"It's just not something I plan on doing right now, and that I feel like I need to do right now," the actor, 39, said on the subject at a Los Angeles press gathering for his new romantic comedy, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.
"It's not an institution I'm against at all," he added. "I'm actually for it, believe in it and have seen it actually be very, very healthy for many relationships. Some people go through it some great ways." His final word on marriage (for now): "I don't have any plans for it."
His costar, Jennifer Garner, having a little fun when the subject came up prior to McConaughey's marriage remarks, teased, "The rule with marriage is the less you talk about it the better, as far as I can tell."
Costar Garner InspiresDuring the making of the movie, McConaughey's girlfriend, Camila Alves was pregnant with the couple's son, Levi, now 8 months old. The proud papa did admit that he was often inspired on the set by watching Garner, a working mother of two – with husband Ben Affleck. Their daughters, now 3 years old and 3 months old, respectively, are Violet and Seraphina.
Said McConaughey, "After now having a child, [I see] it was very seamless how [Jennifer] handled being a parent and being an actress." Addressing Garner directly, he said, "You made it seem very seamless."
Garner quipped back that having two kids is "happy chaos." Sharing parental duties with Affleck, she explained, involves organization. "I have help and I have the support that I need. I have a great partner in raising kids and he's super involved and there with me."
Then, willing to step into the McConaughey household, Garner said, "Please, can I have Camila's direct line? Because I would love to talk to her about this.'"

If a lack of confidence and self doubt in your own abilities is causing you to loose sleep then this is the remedy for you. Lycopodium is also said to be effective for anyone who frequently experiences uncomfortable digestive troubles throughout the night which prevent them from sleeping (this also includes ravenous hunger pains which cause a person to wake).
Silicea is great for very nervous individuals who seem to tire very easily yet are unable to sleep. This person may be able to drift off to sleep at first but will then wake suddenly and find it hard to fall asleep again. This is also a good remedy for people who have anxious dreams.

Brief history
The principal architecture at El Tajín dates from the Classic period (300–900 AD); the city declined in the early Post-Classic (900–1100 AD) and by the time of the Conquest it had been forgotten. Our knowledge comes entirely from archeological enquiries made since the accidental discovery of the site in 1785 – El Tajín remains one of the most enigmatic of all of Mexico's ancient cities. No one even knows who built it: some claim it was the Huastecs, others the Totonacs. Most archeologists prefer not to speculate too wildly, instead calling the civilization Classic Veracruz. You'll notice many of its hallmarks at El Tajín, including niches in temple walls and complex ornamental motifs known as "scrolls". Classic Veracruz influence was widespread, and is strongly felt at Teotihuacán, to the extent that some believe that city may have been built by Veracruzanos.
Tajín Viejo
From the site entrance, a track leads through a small group of buildings to the Plaza del Arroyo, the city marketplace, and into the heart of Tajín Viejo. Around the plaza are several ball-courts, the most prominent of which is the South Court, or Juego de Pelota Sur; it looks like a wide avenue between two small pyramids. Seventeen such courts are known here, and more possibly lie unexcavated; it's thought that the game took on a greater importance here than at any other known site. The superb bas-relief sculptures that cover the walls of the South Court include portrayals of a decapitated player, and another about to be stabbed with a ritual knife by fellow players, with Death waiting to his left. Such bas-reliefs are a constant feature of the site, adorning many of the ball-courts and buildings, with more stacked in the museum.
The unique Pirámide de los Nichos, one of the last to be built here, is the most famous building at El Tajín, and indeed one of the most remarkable of all Mexican ruins. It rises to a height of about 20m in six receding tiers, each face punctuated with regularly spaced niches; up the front a steep stairway climbs to a platform on which the temple originally stood. If you tally up the niches, including those hidden by the stairs and those, partly destroyed, around the base of the temple, there are 365 in all. Their exact purpose is unknown, but clearly they were more than mere decoration: theories include each holding some offering or sacrifice, one for each day of the year, or that they symbolized caves – the dwellings of the earth god. Originally they were painted black, with the pyramid in red, to enhance the impression of depth. Niches are also present on other buildings at the site, some bearing the attributes of Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent, El Tajín's most depicted god.
Around the plaza in front of the pyramid stand all the other important buildings of Tajín Viejo. Opposite is Monumento 3, a similar pyramid without niches, and behind it Monumento 23, a strange steep-sided bulk, one of the last structures to be built here. To the right of the Pirámide de los Nichos, Monumento 2, a low temple, squats at the base of Monumento 5, a beautiful truncated pyramid with a high decorative pediment broken by a broad staircase; on the left, Monumento 4 is one of the oldest at El Tajín, and only partly restored.
Tajín Chico
From the back of Monumento 4 the path continues past the Juego de Pelota Norte, with its worn relief sculptures, onto the levelled terrace of Tajín Chico, home of the city's elite. From here, you get a great overview of Tajín Viejo. Only parts of the buildings survive, making a rather confusing whole. Estructura C and the adjoining Estructura B are the most impressive remains: Estructura C has stone friezes running around its three storeys, giving the illusion of niches. In this case, they were purely decorative, an effect that would have been heightened by a brightly coloured stucco finish. It also has the remains of a concrete roof – originally a huge single slab of poured cement, unique in ancient Mexico. Estructura A had a covered interior, and you can still see the entrance covered by a false arch of the type common in Maya buildings.
Estructura I (aka Edificio de las Pinturas) is distinguished by a palapa roof protecting its elaborate decoration, including relief carvings and delicately painted murals. Such luxurious decor suggests that this was probably the residence of some major political or religious figure. On the hill above Tajín Chico stood the Edificio de las Columnas, which must have dominated the entire city. El Tajín's most famous ruler, 13 Rabbit, lived here; bas-reliefs on columns recorded his exploits, and some of these are now on show in the museum.
Gran Greca
From the terrace of Tajín Chico you can walk down the stone path to the Gran Greca complex, also known as Xicalcoliuhqui, whose spiral walls contain two ball-courts and more pyramids. It has been only partially cleared of jungle, but you can stroll along the walled edges to get a sense of its vast size. Built towards the end of the city's life, it is regarded as a sign of growing crisis, Tajín's rulers becoming increasingly obsessed with monumental projects in order to maintain control over a disenchanted populace.

Kate Hudson will don her dancing shoes as she joins Nicole Kidman in the movie musical Nine, a studio rep confirms.
Hudson, 29, who plays a fashion magazine reporter on assignment in Italy, has musical moves in her genes: mom Goldie Hawn was a go-go dancer on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. An original song, "Cinema Italiano," was added to the film's lineup for Hudson.
Rob Marshall, who will direct the adaptation of the Tony-winning Broadway musical, calls Hudson's skills as a singer and dancer "revelatory."
Hudson, who has spent the summer hanging out with new beau Lance Armstrong, starts shooting in the U.K. in October.
Her costar is new mom Kidman, who gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose on July 7.
The casting news was first reported by the New York Post.

at the fence, a photo by lovelydesign on Flickr.
i realised early on in the year that at the top of Reid's activity choices is to putter around our yard. I am over the moon with this realisation - and we have been getting much work done, side by side, moving rocks, uplifting the earth, weeding, preparing, discovering. I have many plans, but they are slow goals. I feel as though have no one to impress but myself - a rather satisfying feeling which in my experience usually yields the most fulfilling results. We shall see.
Out of school hours, and more and more as the grey wet days fade into brilliant sunshine, Adelaide will join us. Having this light-and-airy-fence installed last spring was one of the best things I had done. With it I can work on the street-side of our garden relatively stress-free, but still have closeness to them. Soon, I will stain it and add a few embellishments, i believe.
I am greatly enjoying this time with my children and the peace and contentedness and satisfaction which comes from gardening and work out-of-doors. It's like a sigh of relief for the soul.
Happy Spring!

What is in this article?:
- Sustainable intensification agriculture — more with less
- Technology a top ally
- Sustainable intensification agriculture: We need to grow more with less, while at the same time preserving the environment and remaining economically profitable.
Technology a top ally
Technology is one of our most important allies. We use crop sensors, electromagnetic mapping, zonal and grid soil sampling. If an affordable new technology can give us a slight advantage, we seize it.
These are all keys to sustainable intensification. So is biotechnology. In many nations, farmers can beat back weeds and pests with genetically modified crops. As a result, they're producing huge amounts of food.
We don't enjoy the GM option in New Zealand, where biotech crops are practically nonexistent. They're grown in a few highly regulated test plots for research purposes. Ordinary farmers like me have no access to them.
That's okay for now, because existing GM seeds don't satisfy our particular needs. Many of the diseases and pests that plague farmers elsewhere don't occur here, and our stringent border controls aim to keep it that way. At most, biotechnology could assist in a few niche markets.
But that will change as biotechnology matures and tackles new challenges. Drought resistance is an especially attractive trait. Farmers everywhere seek to conserve water–and here, we're working to get the most from our moisture through intensive irrigation management.
Plants that make more efficient use of water are the very essence of sustainable intensification. As biotechnology begins to deliver these innovations, we'll need to take full advantage of them. Water is the biggest issue that is facing the world and biotechnology will be one of the key drivers to increase water use efficiency.
There are other possibilities as well, including crops with improved nitrogen response and varieties of wheat that people with gluten intolerance can consume.
New Zealand is a small country, with a population of about 4.4 million people, which is roughly equal to metropolitan Boston or Phoenix. We're pretty small players in the business of global food production.
That's the other thing about sustainable intensification: To meet the world's swelling demand for food, we must use every resource we have. That includes boosting yields on huge farms in Kansas, helping Africa meet its full potential as a breadbasket, and making sure that even far-off New Zealand has the best technology to make the most of what we can contribute.
Craige Mackenzie uses precision agriculture tools and techniques to produce specialty seed crops including wheat, ryegrass, fescue, hybrid carrots, hybrid radish, pak choi, spinach and chicory along with a dairy operation in Methven, New Zealand.

Pre Manny Steward.
Wladimir's glass chin will get shattered not just by Tyson, but by a variety of punchers. But ever since Samuel Peter +, Wlad has improved dramatically.
His chin is still glass, that's not the point, the point is it is now IMPOSSIBLE to get to Wladimir's chin.
Wlad is a 6'6 248 Pound Slick White Lennox Lewis. Ya we get it he's not quite as slick, and not quite as skilled. But overall he represents the boring side of Lewis quite well.
I say he is a B+ A- Carbon Copy.
Even a B+ A- Version beats Prime Tyson.
Tyson is a mental midget. I know a lot of people love Tyson .I ALSO LOVE TYSON .BUT i refuse to be brainwashed into thinking he was some invincible force to deal with during his 2 year ass short as **** prime.
If you don't back down, he folds, he shown it again and again. Frank Bruno almost knocked him out the first time, but Bruno just didn't have the ability to string together a combo.
Wladimir's jab will keep Tyson beyond reach time and time again. If Tyson gets close, Wlad smothers him. Wlad also perfected the LEwis trick of clinching and LEANING on people, 245 pounds of solid Ukrainian fed steak muscles leaning on lil midget Mike.
Wladimir got tremendous right hand single punch power. His power is arguably on par with Lewis if not better, talking about that one punch power. Tyson is easy to hit with the right hand.
One thing I noticed about Tyson is he like to block punches with his face. That do not work against Wlad or Lewis prime for prime.
The truth of the matter is, the Ruddock fight version of Tyson wasn't THAT FAR removed from prime. AT MOST I say Tyson was still semi prime against Ruddock, and he was being badly exposed.
This version of Wladimir wins a UD Decision, in one boring ass fight.
Watch Tua vs Lewis
and imagine a less skilled Lewis vs a faster meaner PCP Tua.
Wlad won't win as easily as Lewis did against Tua, but he still will probably end up 9-3 8-4

tyson had problems with bigger guys with stiff jabs. once tyson signed with don king & married that twit gibbons he fell apart. tyson would been far more aggressive then any of wlad's recent opponents. tyson was pretty darn good inside with those uppercuts. i actually voted tyson to win but now that i think about it i'd say i'm 50\50 on the fight. if tyson don't get inside then wlad jabs him to death but if tyson can land a big one inside then it's lights out...would have been a good matchup

The following people that 'brought it' against Tyson
James Smith- Tony Tucker-Buster Douglas-José Ribalta-Ruddock x2-Holyfield x2
Every single person that actaully 'brought it' either went the distance against Tyson or knocked him the **** out.
Tyson went the distance against Uncle Fuker Tucker dude. James Smith had Tyson going the distance as well.
Jos Ribalta went the full 10 Rounds against Mike. These are basically C- To C+
level fighters who went the distance against Prime Tyson.
Prime Tyson was a myth.
Sorry I love Tyson but we gotta speak truth here.
Everyone Tyson beaten up in his prime could have easily been taken out by
Lewis or Wlad or Holyfield as well. Easily.
Lewis was beating up the same level of opposition during his first 22 fights as well, he just never got the publicity.
People say Wlad fought shyt competition
look at Tyson's resume .. It is filled with god damn bums, razer ruddock
and a shot to pieces Larry Holmes.
When he stepped it up, he got stepped down.

He in his full prime went the distance
against uncle fuker Tucker
and James 'the terror from alabama' Smith
They troubled him big time and he had to dig deep to win the Decisions.
Also against Ruddock
it was a very very premature stoppage in the first fight.
Look.. if you have a 'iron chin' your chin don't go away right?
So how come Tyson can't do in 18 Rounds what Lennox did in 2 against Ruddock
People say Ruddock was shot,but you dont just suddenly develop a glass chin.
So how come Lewis managed to KO Ruddock in 2 rounds
when Tyson can't in 2 fights....

The Saints didn't have to search far to find a pair of offensive linemen to fill out their training camp roster. They signed center Rob Hunt and guard Isaiah Ross from the VooDoo on Tuesday.
To make room, the Saints released linemen Carnell Stewart and Marquay Love.
Hunt and Ross are long shots to make the final 53-man roster, but both of them have NFL experience. Hunt (6 foot 4, 301 pounds) was a fifth-round draft choice of the Indianapolis Colts in 2005. He spent the '05 and '06 seasons on the Denver Broncos' practice squad and played with the Kansas City Chiefs last preseason before being released. He spent two seasons in NFL Europe before making his Arena Football League debut last year.
Ross (6-3, 320) signed as an undrafted free agent with the San Diego Chargers in 2004 before spending time in NFL Europe and the last two years in the AFL. He showed his versatility with the VooDoo, catching 14 passes for 140 yards and five touchdowns during this past season.
The Saints are scheduled to report to training camp on July 23, with the first practices set for July 24 at Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss.

Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam
Excite Truck
The Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess
Red Steel
Wii Sports
You should probably get Excite Truck.....although I am not a huge racing fan so I got COD3 and FarCry Vengance (sure it got bad ratings.....for the graphics, but its a really good game!)
no dont get red steel, the wii gods will cry. And do you get a link mii, once you beat tp? and yah probably get excite truck.Originally Posted by Skullator

Mario Srikers: 206265 910034

Personally, I would get it, but a lot of people say not to.
If you want a more light game though - go for either Elebits or Rayman. I've heard really good things about Rayman.

Casket with Christian figures
Museum no. 603-1902
The form and most of the decoration of this large casket are entirely characteristic of the ivory caskets made in Sicily, apart from the prominent figures of Christian saints painted at the front. This may indicate that it was commissioned for use in a church, and in fact this casket used to belong to the treasury of Bari Cathedral, on the south-eastern coast of Italy. The casket also has a long poetic inscription in Arabic, invoking blessings and happiness on the owner, in a manner that is very common on secular works of art made in the Islamic world.
