Statement regarding General Purpose Classroom Technology Upgrade Plan
Adopted November 13, 2001
The Senate Committee on Finance and Planning reiterates its strong support for assigning a high institutional priority to providing funding for the "General Purpose Classroom Technology Upgrade Plan"
The Committee views the lack of sufficient technology equipped general purpose classrooms with great concern. We note that the faculty's needs for projection-capable Internet connected general classrooms far outstrip supply. Likewise, matriculating students are increasingly used to experiencing technology in classrooms in their K –12 education. They bring high expectations to the University of Minnesota, and we need to measure up.
The Committee has closely followed the "General Purpose Classroom Upgrade Plan" since its inception, and is on the record as endorsing the plan and recommending accelerated implementation. We also note that the Classroom Advisory Subcommittee as well as numerous governance, faculty, and student committees and groups have favorably endorsed the Tech Upgrade plan. All agree that this plan provides the critically important baseline level of classroom technology, and the foundation for future technology enhancements. The $7M, multi-year, phased plan began in FY- 00 and is scheduled to be complete at the end of FY- 04.
The Senate Committee on Finance and Planning particularly notes that the Tech Upgrade plan identifies recurring funding requirements for life-cycle maintenance, equipment replacement, and support staffing as elements of the basic plan. We support this up-front identification of life-cycle costs as a fiscally prudent approach to upgrading classroom technology infrastructure.
We note with great concern that the tech upgrade work to date has been funded only with one-time funds. The recurring life cycle costs for technology-enhanced classrooms has not been funded. We are, however, accruing these costs. Given the importance of general classrooms and their technology infrastructure, we cannot continue to defer these costs without jeopardizing our teaching and learning mission.
The committee applauds the completion of 65 tech upgrade installations by the start of the Fall 2001 semester. We note however, that the plan called for completion of 146 rooms by this time. Funding shortfalls have caused the U to fall behind the Tech Upgrade Plan's timetable of completing 300 classrooms by end FY-04.
The Senate Committee on Finance and Planning strongly supports and urges funding of the General Purpose Classroom Tech Upgrade Plan, and its counterparts on the coordinate campuses, to complete, on schedule, the funding of recurring life-cycle classroom costs as well the establishment of a stable recurring funding stream for general purpose classrooms.

Breakfast break
Make a change from your usual eggs benedict - layer toasted panini or flatbread with hummus, roasted tomatoes, crispy bacon and chopped coriander. Baby veges, boiled eggs and piles of creamy feta turn this into brunch.
Pita pockets
Pan fry falafel, chicken or lamb pieces. Warm pita pockets, split and spread with hummus. Stuff with falafel, salad greens or tabbouleh and garlic-infused yoghurt or a chilli sauce.
Slimmer sandwiches
Use low- fat high-protein hummus instead of mayonnaise in your favourite sandwiches - the garlicky texture suits salad veges, tuna or shredded chicken.

An ''insider attack'' in which an Australian was forced to shoot dead an Afghan soldier who had opened fire on coalition troops happened after an argument between international and Afghan forces, NATO and Afghan officials have said.
A New Zealand soldier was wounded in the foot and an Australian received minor fragmentation wounds after the Afghan soldier opened fire on coalition troops on Saturday morning Afghanistan time at a compound in the Qargha region near Kabul.
Acting Chief of the Defence Force Air Marshal Mark Binskin praised as quick and professional the response of Australians providing ''force protection'' to their comrades - a practice that has been elevated in the wake of repeated ''green-on-blue'' attacks.
''Australian and New Zealand soldiers are highly professional and it is good news that no serious injuries were sustained in this attack,'' he said. The wounded Australian has returned to duty. The attack happened at an Afghan National Army compound.

Hridaya Intensive Yoga Retreat: Module 1
- Hridaya Yoga Center
- Mazunte, Oaxaca, Mexico
- Oct 23, 2016 - Nov 13, 2016 (22 days)
Fuse the powers of the sacred heart with the energies of the body, and you can transform everything." ~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The Hridaya Intensive Yoga Retreat: Module 1 is a holistic course that creates the conditions for the revelation of our real nature, the Spiritual Heart. It is a life-changing journey in which fundamental spiritual topics are introduced in both a practical and theoretical way. The practice of hatha yoga provides an intimate inner knowledge of the physical body, of its bio-energies, chakras (energy centers), and of our ultimate nature. Therefore, a contemplative attitude and an awareness of what we essentially are is an important part of the practice.
Hridaya Hatha Yoga is unique because:
It teaches us how to open to the limitlessness of energy. What we consider to be just "our energies" are revealed as being universal.
It opens our Hearts deeply, bringing the perspective of Advaita Vedanta, the vision of non-duality.
Hridaya Hatha Yoga creates the condition for a deep relaxation and for opening to realize the "transfiguration" of the body itself. The Hridaya Intensive Yoga Retreat: Module 1 is a highly beneficial and transformative program that can bring amazing purifications at the physical, psychological, and mental levels. Learning how to awaken and become aware of subtle energies, the chakra system, and kundalini allows a profound psycho-mental regeneration.
The first component of Module 1 features 3 classes per day for 20 days. There are 2-hour morning and afternoon sessions that include yogic theory, hatha yoga practice (asana and pranayama), and short meditations. Evening lectures present a variety of important topics in yogic philosophy and lifestyle, all taught from a Hridaya Yoga perspective. Module 1 also includes an additional day when we join together to perform a traditional yogic purification practice. We also encourage participation in one-hour daily Hridaya morning meditations.
7:00-8:00 Optional meditation session
8:30-10:30 Theory & hatha yoga
10:30-15:30 Yummy vegan breakfast & free time
15:30-17:30 Hatha Yoga
17:30-18:30 Delicious vegan dinner
18:30~20:00 Relevant spiritual lecture & teachings
Please note that although the first component of the course takes place over 21 days, you are welcome to join any day and complete as many days as your Heart desires.
The second component of Module 1 is the participation in a Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat. You may choose to attend the retreat for either 3 or 10 days in order to allow yourself to delve deeper into the essence of meditation and your Real Nature.
The Hridaya Intensive Yoga Retreat: Module 1 aims, through its vision, methods and attitudes, to make these teachings resonate more deeply within each of us. They are rooted in the Consciousness of Oneness, and our highest priority is to keep the universality of the message, beyond dogma and biases.
The teachings of Module 1 unfold over four stages:
Week 1 – Introduction – Subtle Structures
Week 2 – Purifications
Week 3 – Spiritual Transformations and Grace
Week 4 – Integration In Daily Life
The curriculum of the Hridaya Intensive Yoga Retreat: Module 1 includes:
Hridaya Hatha Yoga principles and the stages of doing an asana. The comprehensive explanation of both the practice and the symbolic significance of more than 40 asanas, yogic techniques, and warm-up exercises
The yogic system of chakras – yogi psychology
About nadi-s (subtle energy channels), the 5 subtle bodies, and the polarity of energy
Ramana Maharshi's Self-Enquiry Method
The infinite softness and power of the Spiritual Heart
Diet recommendations for yogis; proper diet for a healthy life
Yogic purification techniques
Cultivating proper attitudes for a Hridaya life (a life lived with an open Heart)
Overcoming laxity and excitement in spirituality
Yoga Nidra – The Yoga of Sleep/Lucid Dreaming (The Yoga of Sleep in the Tibetan tradition)
Yogic Practices for the Sublimation of energy
Bhakti Yoga – The yoga of devotion
The concept of Karma and Karma Yoga – The yoga of action done with detachment
Pranayama – the control of the energies using rhythmic breathing
Simple concentration and meditation techniques
Each day, you will receive course papers that provide valuable information regarding the theory introduced in the morning class session. Supplementary materials for evening lectures are available in a separate booklet available for purchase at the Hridaya Yoga Center or online at Amazon.com.
The Hridaya Intensive Yoga Retreat: Module 1 is taught by Sahajananda and a qualified team of Hridaya Yoga teachers.
The Hridaya Community
At the Hridaya Yoga Center in Mazunte, Mexico, the practice of yoga and its resulting transformation is supported by an inspiring spiritual environment. The Hridaya community is an open group of people who share similar spiritual values. The teachings are practically applied by participation in uplifting communal living. Thus, we learn to cultivate awareness in our daily lives.
The Hridaya community is open and welcoming to any of its practitioners. It actively support the practice of yoga, meditation, and the application of Hridaya perspectives and ideals in daily life. Here the educational process starts from another paradigm. We respect each other beyond roles, appreciating the gifts each person can bring, supporting the beauty and the inherently creative power that lies in every soul. In this way, real love can grow.
In the Hridaya community, spontaneity is encouraged. This gives a freedom, freshness, and dynamic character to the teachings and to our relationships. Everyone is invited to express and cultivate their inspiration, imagination, heart, beauty, presence and Stillness. Read the Hridaya Yoga Vision for more information.
Continuing Education
The Hridaya Intensive Yoga Retreat: Module 1 is the first part of a systematic and comprehensive yoga course that will include other modules of:
-Advanced hatha yoga practices
-Advanced Tantric practices (mudras and bandhas for Kundalini awakening)
"There are many mysteries to be unraveled, but the most important is the mystery of our being."

Asheville Chamber Music Series presents Jasper String Quartet
The fourth concert of the 60th Anniversary Season of the Asheville Chamber Music Series will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday, March 8 at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Asheville located at 1 Edwin Place at Charlotte Street.
"The concert will celebrate the return of the Jasper String Quartet to Western North Carolina," said Polly Feitzinger, ACMS Program Chair. "Many area residents enjoyed hearing them perform last summer while they were quartet-in-residence at the Swanannoa Music Festival — they now have the good fortune to hear this remarkably gifted quartet once again."
The program will include works by Beethoven: Opus 18, No.4, Kernis: "Sarabande" from Quartet No. 2 and Schubert: Quartet No. 14 in D minor "Death of the Maiden."
The Jasper String Quartet received the Cleveland Quartet Award to quartets on the way to establishing major careers. Many ACMS subscribers already know they were remarkable after the quartet's 2011 performances at the Swannanoa Festival.
It is ensemble-in residence at the Oberlin Conservatory and recently completed a two-year residency at the Caramoor Center for the Arts. "Symphony" Magazine featured the Jasper as one of five emerging chamber groups in the next generation of chamber music "stars."
Individual tickets are $35 and are available at the door, first come, first served. To purchase tickets or for more information, visit www.ashevillechambermusic.org or call Nathan Shirley at 259-3626 or email email@example.com. Students under the age of 25 may attend concerts free of charge.

Congratulations Mike! How is the trailer situation coming along?
I chose Swinger because I think it is a better machine and much heavier duty then the HB. I am pretty hard on things and wanted something that would take my abuse.
The trailer I am still looking at. Need some more cash so it might be next month.

"These new additions to our staff bring not only tremendous coaching expertise, but they are outstanding recruiters and good, solid people," said Sarkisian. "They are great additions to the USC football program and the Trojan Family."
Click here for the complete release.
Still only 37, Wilcox is considered a rising star in the coaching business having already served as the defensive coordinator for Washington, Tennessee and Boise State. In his most recent stop with the Huskies, he inherited one of the worst defenses in college football and immediately improved the unit to rank Top 40 nationally in total defense, scoring defense and pass defense.
Tuiasosopo is another promising young assistant with a bright future after leading the Huskies to a bowl victory as the interim head coach in place of Sarkisian. He was a talented college quarterback who earned Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year and Rose Bowl MVP honors at UW.
Finally, Drevno is a major acquisition coming from the San Francisco 49ers and Stanford. Working under Jim Harbaugh since his days at San Diego, Drevno's offensive lines have earned a reputation for physicality, including all five of his starters making the 2012 Pro Bowl.
In addition to naming three more assistants, Sarkisian publicly defined roles for Clay Helton (offensive coordinator and quarterbacks), Tee Martin (wide receivers), Johnny Nansen (running backs and special teams), Peter Sirmon (recruiting coordinator and linebackers) and Keith Heyward (defensive backs).

You may think that securing your home involves major installations and expensive specialists. However, the process does not have to be so inconvenient. The tips included below will help you secure your home without a lot of additional hassle.
If you need to leave a key for a maid service, make sure that that whoever cleans your house is professional and trustworthy. When giving your house cleaner the key to your home, you need to be sure that they are reputable and honest. One way to do this is to check their references. If this professional is from a company, it's best to check with the Better Business Bureau to see what kind of reputation they have.
Does your dog remain outside while you're gone? This is where you can put your spare key. Attach your key to your dog's collar, ensuring that it can't be seen. This works especially well as storage if your pet isn't too fond of strangers.
Always take time to compare and research before investing in an expensive security system for your home. Prices can be very different from one product to another. Try to get two or three quotes before making a decision.
Ask friend for any advice they have prior to purchasing a security system or service. Others have likely had both good and bad experiences that they can share with you that can then save you a lot of stress and time. Therefore, ask everyone you can in order to obtain the most advice. With thorough advice, the best decision can be made.
Check out your garage to ensure that it is secure. Lots of folks are concerned about burglars gaining access to the garage and then the home, but this can be addressed. If your garage lifts up on a track, try using a C-clamp. This will prevent your door from opening up if the clamp is close to its roller.
Eliminate dead vegetation and rotting wood from the yard each summer. You risk a house fire if that sits there during the heat of the summer and catches fire. Regularly clear away your yard to keep your home in good standing and safe for your family.
See what your local police department offers in terms of home protection programs. They often offer home inspections, seminars and even the ability to purchase items. Call the local police department and inquire as to what programs they offer.
Have lights that sense motion. This type of light will come on when they detect motion within a certain distance of your home. You will receive advance warning of any potential issues, and a would-be intruder will probably be scared off. Don't forget to replace the bulbs when they burn out.
A formal automated home security system is just one of many possible solutions to consider when you are looking for options to keep your family safe. Whether you are comfortable in purchasing a gun, placing a fence or even placing locks to the doors that you have, are all possible options. Keep these things in mind when thinking about home security.

Justin Newcombe builds a mobile home so his beloved chooks can have a change of scenery (and help with the gardening).
The benefits of having chooks in the garden are many and well documented. Let's not talk about the times when they're not laying eggs at all or when they escape and ravage your entire vegetable garden. Because, there is a plus side to all this undesirable plunder. If you've ever had chooks go through your vege garden you'll be amazed at how efficient the destruction can be. Good gardening is a matter of harnessing these feral fixations and using them to clean, turn and fertilise the garden beds as they become unused.
There's a lot in it for the birds too: a change is as good as a holiday and moving them from their permanent chook run to some fresh ground to work over is well appreciated. When they are busy, chooks can be quite charming.
As you might have guessed our chooks will not be going into the pot so finding new jobs for them to do is a real bonus. A moveable chook trailer solves two problems in one - transporting and housing. For containment I use screens made from chicken wire (what else) and small profile timber, to make them easy to store.
I set up the screens on the lawn or around a garden bed, then introduce the birds using the trailer. The trailer is a home-away-from-home with a perch, nesting box and pitched roof, the chook version of a caravan. I was all set to buy a set of wheels but found a ready-made trolley at Bunnings which was actually cheaper than the wheels would have been - with the bonus of the carriage and handle ready to go. All I had to do was assemble the carriage and wheels then attach the plywood house and we had ourselves a regular rancho relaxo for busy birds ... ole!
Step 1
Cut out all the floor and wall panels. Mine is 1200mm long, 600mm wide. Make sure one side wall panel is at least 50mm higher than the rest to help create the pitched roof (mine are 550mm and 600mm). Cut out the chicken-sized hole for a door.
Step 2
Glue and screw all of the panels together. I used clamps to hold them together but masking tape can also be a good option.
Step 3
Once the box is constructed install a nesting box and perch. I used offcuts to form the nesting box and a piece of dowelling to form the perch. If you haven't got dowelling then use a tree branch. Avoid using square timber as over time, it's uncomfortable on the hens' feet. Assemble the wheels and attach them to the bottom of the box.
Step 4
To form the roof, make a frame and then paint it and cover with miniature corrugated iron. Allow an overhang at one end to give the chooks a bit of outside shelter from the weather. Attach the roof with hinges so you can access the inside of the trailer.
Step 5
Paint the outside of the trailer with at least two coats of paint.

GeForce 9500 GT Closer Look
The Foxconn GeForce 9500 GT offers a single-slot design that is a small departure from the double-slot sized graphic cards we've seen a lot of lately. The first two things I noticed about the 9500 GT was the fan-sink cooler and SLI expansion port.
It's been quite a while since I had last seen a fan-sink cooler, and even longer since I've seen one on a NVIDIA product. Nevertheless, the 9500 GT promises to deliver many of the latest multimedia features available to the 9th generation of GeForce products, while at the same time offer decent gaming performance for entry-level enthusiasts.
There really isn't too much to talk about when it comes to the overall looks of this card. There's one aluminum-alloy cooler with a small (yet considerably quiet) cooling fan embedded in the middle. None of the memory modules receive heatsinks, however the fins from the fan-sink extend overhead and prevent adding any after-market cooling components.
The backside of the GeForce 9500 GT doesn't offer a very exciting landscape, at least not in comparison to some of the more recent video card products we've tested here at Benchmark Reviews. The printed circuit board is colored a dark brown (intended to be black), with only a few small resistors and diodes covering the surface. The lack of video DRAM modules on the backside make this a cooler-running component.
With limited after-market cooling options, the Foxconn 9500GT-256FR3 is meant to be a stand-alone entry-level product for multimedia enthusiasts and low-demand gamers. The GeForce 9500 GT G96 video card ranks ahead of the 8600 GTS, and directly competes with the 8600 GT it is meant to replace.
Please continue on to the next section where Benchmark Reviews takes a detailed look at the Foxconn GeForce 9600 GT Standard OC Edition video card.

Texas Instruments Forecasts Profit That Trails EstimatesIan King
Texas Instruments Inc., the largest analog-chip maker, forecast sales and profit that may fall short of analysts' estimates as some customers cut orders ahead of an anticipated slowdown in demand for their products.
Fourth-quarter profit will be 42 cents to 50 cents a share on revenue of $2.86 billion to $3.1 billion, the Dallas-based company said yesterday in a statement. That compares with average analyst estimates of 51 cents and $3.11 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Chief Executive Officer Rich Templeton is completing a shift to analog and embedded-processing markets and moving away from modems in mobile phones, an industry now led by Qualcomm Inc. While that diversification has shielded Texas Instruments from a slump in any single area, such as personal computers, other markets may be beginning to slow.
"Even those areas like industrial and infrastructure that have been relative stalwarts are feeling a bit fatigued," said Cody Acree, an analyst at Williams Financial Group in Dallas who recommends buying the stock. "They are on the margin a bit more cautious than would be seasonally normal."
Texas Instruments declined 1.7 percent to $40.28 at the close in New York. The stock has gained 30 percent this year.
The forecast reflects the typical decline in fourth-quarter demand from auto makers and industrial companies, Chief Financial Officer Kevin March said in an interview. Orders aren't being canceled at a higher rate than usual, he said.
Seasonal Drop
"The signals are suggesting that this is a normal demand environment," March said.
Third-quarter profit fell 20 percent to $629 million, or 56 cents a share, from $784 million, or 67 cents, in the same period a year earlier. Sales fell 4.3 percent to $3.24 billion. On average, analysts had estimated profit of 53 cents on revenue of $3.23 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Gross margin, or the percentage of sales remaining after deducting costs of production, rose to a record 54.8 percent, topping the 53.9 percent average analyst estimate.
Texas Instruments' semiconductors are used in almost every type of electronic device that needs a chip, from military munitions and blood pressure monitors to industrial air conditioners. The company's scope makes its earnings an indicator of demand across the economy.
Texas Instruments started exiting the business of digital baseband processors used in mobile phones more than a year ago and sales will fall to about $50 million in the fourth quarter, the company said. Qualcomm now dominates that market.
While the shift to analog has eased the company's dependence on the mobile-device market, Texas Instruments still supplies cheaper components such as power-regulation chips and audio processors for phones. Its products are also used as power regulators in PCs.

A nice surprice. Really good indian food. Perfect service. Really wellprepared food and portions just enough so one feels satisfied.
Definitively a restaurant to return to
DIdnt know it was Indian / Chinese restaurant. My boyfriend very happy, me not so much, but found some promising western items at the end of the menu.
Chose the sandwich which promised garlic sauce, salsa, mustard and pickles on the side (since I am a sauce girl, I looked forward to that).
The side dish was to be chosen...
the chicken tandoori, the service, and the staff reception was superb. Id love to go back again and again for their tasty food
They reopen ! Well i was with my friends. We really enjoyed our meal there. Service and food both r good. Well management .we really want come again and again.
Quality of Service is Terrible. Very unreasonable delays. Server do not know what's going on in the kitchen.
NOTE: the glass that provides drinks, water are of VERY poor quality. One of the glass broke down while drinking water without any hard impact. I had experience same thing in India in another restaurant. So, I felt kind of de ja...
used to be the best indian in town, since the re opening i went back once and it was truly terrible, bad and small portions of food, rude mgt (not waiters) and truly dissapointing as it used to be the best.
The menu was way too huge. we ordered twice and they didn't have what was on the menu. The service was not great. I think because they are new and don't really know what they are doing yet.
And it's the best of the few that do deliver within central/ Kololo and nearby. Certainly not the best Indian food in town (see me review on Khana Khazana for that), but decent when you're back home for the night and do not want to leave.
Specially prepares indain Food . It is located near payless supermarket in Kamwokya. It serves its dishes in small copper pots with a little flames beneath to keep it warm . the owners are very friendly but their vegetables are not as good though .
I always used to bring visitors here until the day when they not only served me food that smelled like it had been bad for quite some time, but also managed to put chicken in my vegetarian dish.
The manager tried to convince me it was mutton cheese, but had to give up when given a closer look.
I was...

Ripoff Report
BEST REST FURNITUREBansko Street, Bansko Internet United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Please, please be aware of this company Best Rest. They contacted me many weeks ago and enticed me to furnish my property in the Ski resort of Bansko, I paid them 7000.00 Euros, of which I have since found was way over the odds for my 1 bedroom property. I have asked for a delivery date, no reply, I have also asked for my money back and still ignored. I have since learned that a good few others have been duped by themand have informed them of this site.
I feel betrayed especially as they are promoted by various people involved in a support group. Chris Collins in the main man behind this so please be aware.
I have also recently heard that Best Rest are banned from various developments due to them being an unscrupulous company, it appears they have been renting out peoples apartments witnout the owners permission and keeping the rental income for themselves, that is shocking!!
Please be aware and stay away from these people.
A very pi**ed off Conned Customer of Best Rest Furniture, Bulgaria!!

Can crowdfunding provide new opportunities for research?
Crowdfunding is a relatively new concept in Finland and abroad. In summer 2016, the Finnish Mesenaatti.me service organised a campaign to crowdfund science, with support from the Kone Foundation. Dr Anna Hielm-Björkman's research group from the University of Helsinki was a pilot participant in the campaign and the first University research group to seek funding through the Mesenaatti.me service.
Marcus Vinicius Candido wins ESCG award for best scientific poster at the ECVIM-CA congress
Marcus Vinicius Candido's, DVM, MSc, abstract about "Breed association of endoscopically diagnosed gastric neoplasia and metaplasia in purebred dogs" was awarded as best poster by the European Society of Comparative Gastroenterology (ESCG) at the Annual Congress of the European College of Veterinary Internal Medicine – Companion Animals (ECVIM-CA) in Gothenburg, Sweden, in September 2016.
Unique health survey of Finnish cats reveals common and breed-specific illnesses
A research group led by Professor Hannes Lohi at the University of Helsinki and Folkhälsan Research Centre has conducted a unique study on the health of Finnish cats. The most typical health issues in cats have to do with the mouth, skin and kidneys. In addition, the research group identified nearly 60 illnesses specific to particular breeds. These results can be used to improve cat welfare and develop breeding programmes, and they provide a solid foundation for future genetic research, particularly on breed-specific diseases. The study was published in the journal Frontiers in Veterinary Science, on 29 August 2016..
Canine hereditary disorders are more widespread than previously indicated
Genoscoper Ltd. has published in cooperation with the researchers of University of Helsinki and Pennsylvania (USA) so far the most comprehensive study on canine hereditary disorders. The research brings new information about genetic disorders causing diseases in different dog breeds. The results can be utilized both in dog breeding and veterinary diagnostics. The study was published on PLOS ONE on 15 August 2016. .
Solving the mystery of "botox", the world's strongest neurotoxin
Why is the Clostridium botulinum bacterium lethal? Professor Miia Lindström heads a study intended to determine why and under which circumstances this bacterium, which can live in soil or water, produces the deadly neurotoxin, botulin, also known as botox. Lindström has received both a European Research Council Consolidator Grant as well as an Academy of Finland project grant for her research projects, which will launch in late 2016, lasting four and five years, respectively.
New insights into human rare disorders with dogs
Professor Hannes Lohi's research group has discovered three novel canine genes for Caffey, Raine and van den Ende-Gupta syndromes. Research reveals close similarities of the canine models of human rare disorders and highlights the potential of comparative research approach for the development of rare disease diagnostics and treatments. Gene discoveries will benefit also veterinary diagnostics and breeding programs. The study was published on PLOS Genetics on 17 May 2016.
Finnish study confirms link between Zika virus and fetal brain damage
Zika virus can be detected in blood samples taken from a pregnant woman while brain damage is developing, as well as isolated in cell culture from the brain tissue of the fetus, establishes a Finnish-American study led by Olli Vapalahti, professor of zoonotic virology at the University of Helsinki.
INNUENDO – a new cross-sectorial platform for genomics integration in surveillance of food-borne pathogens
Multinational outbreaks of food-borne pathogens cause considerable threats to European public health. Implementing a whole genome sequencing (WGS) in routine surveillance and outbreak investigations is becoming a strategic goal for many public health authorities all over the world. With this in mind a group of researchers have developed an initiative called INNUENDO, which aims to deliver a cross-sectorial framework of bacterial WGS integration in routine surveillance and epidemiological investigations. The project is coordinated by Assistant Professor Mirko Rossi from the University of Helsinki, and co-financed by a Thematic Grant of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
PhD Defence: The peripheral α2-adrenoceptor antagonist MK-467 attenuated the early cardiovascular effects of dexmedetomidine in dogs
Dr Flavia Restitutti's PhD research investigated the interaction of two substances used in veterinary anaesthesia. Dexmedetomidine is commonly used in small animal practice due its potent sedative effects. It has some side effects, such as reduction of heart rate and changes in blood pressure. MK-467 was able to alleviate these cardiovascular changes without markedly affecting sedation.
PhD Defence: High-resolution typing methods such as whole-genome sequence needed to establish the correct epidemiology of human C. jejuni infections
During the last 40 years, Campylobacter has emerged as the number one cause of human gasteroenteritis in the developed world, of which C. jejuni accounts for the majority of cases. Broiler chickens has traditionally been considered as the reservoir of importance for public health, but evidence suggests that other source, both known and unknown, are relevant. DVM Ann-Katrin Llarena's research for PhD thesis aimed at evaluating the usefulness of three metabolic markers in source attribution, resolved a Campylobacter outbreak using whole-genome sequence and characterized the dynamics and epidemiology of C. jejuni in Finnish chickens and barnacle geese. Llarena discovered that the whole-genome sequence is the most effective method to trace C. jejeuni infections in humans.
PhD Defence: Bartonella and other arthropod borne diseases in dogs and moose
The incidence of arthropod-borne infections is increasing worldwide and Fennoscandia is no exception. Ixodes ricinus, the sheep or castor bean tick, which is the most common tick in North-Western Europe, is widely distributed in Finland. Cristina Pérez Vera's research for PhD thesis aims at investigating the epidemiology of selected tick- transmitted infections, with special interest in those caused by Bartonella spp, among dogs. She also studied whether moose carry this infection and if the deer ked (moose fly) can transmit it. In her study, Pérez Vera discovered that dogs with Bartonella infection are usually seronegative and have similar clinics signs as dogs with other tick borne diseases. Dogs living in Finland are exposed to tick borne diseases, but so far, no Finnish dog has been diagnosed with Bartonella spp infection. In contrast, a large number of Finnish moose are infected with this organism.
PhD Defence: More mutagenic and oestrogenic activities of commercially processed food items and water samples found in Nigeria than in Finland
Commercially processed food, drinking-water sources and effluent waters discharged into bodies of water from wastewater treatment plants are putative but yet poorly delineated sources of human exposure to chemical mutagens and oestrogen-like chemicals globally. MSc Matthew Omoruyi's research for PhD thesis aims at determining the current situation both in a European country (Finland) and an African country (Nigeria) for comparison. In his study Omoruyi discovered that the Nigerian food items and drinking-water sources are more likely to contain mutagenic and oestrogenic chemicals than their Finnish counterparts.
Prominent figures will be inaugurated during the doctoral conferment ceremony of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine
The second doctoral conferment ceremony of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, of the University of Helsinki, will take place on 5 June 2015. 68 Doctors of Veterinary Medicine and Doctors of Philosophy will have their ranks bestowed on them at the ceremony, as well as 10 Honorary Doctors and one Jubilee Doctor. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine has chosen to bestow Honorary Doctorates on ten individuals distinguished in their own fields, among them the President of the Republic of Finland, Sauli Niinistö. An Honorary Doctorate is the most the esteemed distinction that the University can bestow.
Public defence: Intestinal microbiota is unique to each human being and individuals can be separated by their specific faecal protein profiles
Human physiological processes are complemented by those of the microbiota, the collection of all microbes living in and on our body. The human intestinal microbiota is one of the most prominent representative and many associations with a wide spectrum of human diseases have been identified. These genes provide an enormous additional genetic potential to the human genome, but little is known about which of these genes can be expressed into proteins and the conditions under which the protein synthesis occurs. The focus of MSc Carolin Kolmeder thesis work was to increase the knowledge of the biological processes taking place in-vivo, and to establish a baseline of these functions in the intestine of a healthy adult.
Novel neurodegenerative disease and gene identified with the help of man's best friend
A breakthrough study performed in an international collaboration led by Professor Tosso Leeb from the University of Bern and Professor Hannes Lohi from the University of Helsinki together with the veterinary neurologists and neuropathologists at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine has identified a gene mutation that causes a novel type of neurodegenerative disease in dogs. The results of the study shed light into the function of neurons, provide a new gene for human neurodegenration, and may aid in developing better treatments for neurodegenerative disorders. The study was published in the prestigious journal PLoS Genetics on 15.4.2015.
A new book on the lactating sow available
This new book published on 2015 shares up-to-date knowledge on the gestating and lactating sow. Professor Olli Peltoniemi and DVM Claudio Oliviero from the Department of Production Animal Medicine have contributed to the new book with the chapter on housing, management and environment during farrowing and early lactation.
Ingrid Hang received a post doctoral research grant from Finnish Culture Foundation
Ingrid Hang (DVM, PhD) has been awarded a one-year post doctoral research grant of 28.000 EUR from the Finnish Culture Foundation. The grant was announced on the 27 February at the Annual Gala of the Foundation.
A new inherited disease identified in calves of the Ayrshire breed
The research group led by Professor Magnus Andersson has discovered a new inherited disease that causes ptosis, retarded growth, intellectual disability and mortality in Ayrshire calves. The disease proved to be associated with a mutation in UBE3B gene. Of the 129 tested Ayrshire AI bulls recently used in Finland, 17% carried the mutation. Moreover, UBE3B mutation may be connected to AH1 haplotype, which is associated with reduced fertility and has a carrier frequency of 26.1% in the North American Ayrshire population. The study was published in BMC genomics journal on 12 October 2014.
Defence: High-protein diet plays a key role in changing the intestinal microbiota and its metabolic activity, possibly leading to intestinal inflammation and diarhhoea
Knowledge about the modulation of canine intestinal microbiota, bacteria-derived metabolic products, intestinal inflammatory status and adaptive exocrine pancreatic secretion in response to macronutrients is limited. However, such information is necessary to investigate further the complex interplay between host and intestinal microbiota in response to changes of diet. DVM Ingrid Hang's reasearch for PhD thesis focuses upon the influence of dite on intestinal microbiota, bacteria-derived metabolic products and pancreatic enzymes in dogs. Hang's research suggests that a high-protein greaves-meal diet can be associated with elevated inflammation status in dogs.

Budget 2012: Dear FM, please go easy on students
Students are hoping that exemptions against education loans are extended to 10 years from the current 8 years.
Students do not have it easy as education loans do not come cheap. This year, the student community is hoping that exemptions against education loans are extended to 10 years from the current 8 years. Education qualifications to a great extent shape the careers of students.
However, today coaching classes and private tuitions have started having a major impact on their educational excellence. Hence students are hoping that service tax in not raised further from the current levels as it results in a hike in school and college fees as well as tuition and coaching centre rates.
Today education expenses have really sky rocketed and parents have to really think twice before choosing an institute. Changes of this kind are sure to impact a student's future career path. In the previous Budget, Pranab Mukherjee announced a substantial increase in budget of 24% in the education sector.
The Girl Student's Expectations
Though promoting education among girls has been an oft declared aim of successive governments at the centre as well as the states, little has been done in terms of providing specific provisions for easier educational loans for higher studies to girl students.
Many such students strongly feel that the time has come for the finance minister to take concrete steps in this regard and extend the moratorium on educational loans for girls as well as offer a softer interest rate so as to enable the girls to make up for their traditional disadvantage in obtaining higher and specialized professional education which help them to stand on their feet.

Interpretive Summary: Agricultural and environmental modeling and assessment require inputs for soil parameters, particularly those governing retention and transport of water and chemicals in soils. Many of these properties are notoriously difficult to obtain experimentally due to the high labor costs associated with measuring them. As a consequence, it is advantageous to be able to resort to estimating these modeling-related soil parameters from other readily available data. The equations used for these estimations are called pedotransfer functions. We provide here a concise overview of the state-of-the-art with respect to pedotransfer function development. This overview is an important contribution to the first single source, comprehensive review of agrophysics. It is anticipated that this will be a widely used reference in the field.
Technical Abstract: Often, there is a need to estimate parameters governing retention and transport of water and chemicals in soils from other, readily available data. Equations expressing relationships between soil properties were proposed to be called pedotransfer functions. This entry provides the overview of the state of the art in this field. Input variables of pedotransfer functions are discussed, spatial issues related to PTF are outlined, methods to develop PTF are reviewed, PTF evaluation and selection is addressed, limits of PTF accuracy are discussed, and the role of PTFs in agrophysics is summarized. PTFs are essential tool to translate the data that we have to the data we need in agrophysics research and applications.

Manchester United are closing in on their first major addition of the summer, with reports from A Bola claiming they've made a £20m offer for Benfica's Nicolas Gaitan.
The skilful winger has long been considered as one of Portuguese football's finest talents and has been on the Red Devils' radar for the last 18 months.
Gaitan starred for the Lisbon side as they ran to the Europa League Final and secured their domestic league title recently, which appears to have convinced United to launch a £20m move.

Reports suggest that Louis van Gaal is ready to have the fee paid in full and up front, as he plots to bulk out his squad ahead of a push to get the club back into the top four and potentially challenge for the title.
Flop winger Bebe may be included in the deal, with the much-maligned wide-man having thrived during a loan spell back in Portugal.
Benfica are said to be ready to sell their man as they look to sort out their finances, but they are a club known for their tough negotiation skills.
Despite his impressive displays during 2013/14, Gaitan did not make Argentina's World Cup squad.

Continuing the critically-acclaimed success of the multi-award-winning PocketCell, the PocketCell Duo is the world's smallest rechargeable battery bank in its class.

The PocketCell Duo incorporates a power / charging activation button with five LED power level indicators, and an impressive 6,800 mAh power capacity capable of fully charging a tablet once or a smartphone four times on a single charge.

Braving the waves: The economics of clandestine migration from Africa
Illegal immigration from the developing world to rich countries is one of the most controversial topics today. Using a unique data set on potential illegal migrants collected in Dakar, Senegal, we characterize the preferences and characteristics of illegal migrants, and the manner in which these factors interact so as to yield observed behavior. On the basis of our theoretical model, we evaluate a measure of the time and risk preferences through the individual discount rates and the individual coefficients of absolute risk aversion. Then, we test empirically our theoretical propositions and we show that these variables play a role, in the illegal migration decision, in the willingness to pay a smuggler and in the choice of the method of migration, at least as important as "classical" migration determinants such as the expected wage in the host country.

Date of Stay: July, 2013
The people here were extremely friendly and helpful. The campground was clean and easy to access. The only reason I rated this campground lower is that there is traffic noise all day and all night. Also, the lights from the huge oil tanks next door made it impossible to open up the windows over night.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
The front desk is very friendly and helpful. All the amenities are excellent. The BBQ is terrific. The sites are a little small and the Wi-Fi is very unreliable, but we had a great time here. It is close to parks and walking trains. We enjoyed staying here and will be back.
Date of Stay: April, 2013
Beautiful surrounds, clean, wide sites, friendly and helpful staff. Very quiet and relaxing. This is a wonderful campground, one of the best we have ever visited.

Ooops… Well. I am late again. Darn! Just when the right wingers were coming by in droves all worried about who is next in Congress or the Senate.
AUDIO: Mike Rogers on KABC on David Dreier and Ken Mehlman
Instead of the Wednesday report of staffers, I have a real treat. Tonight I spent thirty minutes on Los Angeles station KABC radio, the second largest L.A. AM radio station. Right in the middle of Los Angeles "radio drive time," I spent almost the entire half hour educating the entire Los Angeles region about David Dreier's life as a closeted gay man. What a sea change from two years ago, when Los Angeles stations barred me from mentioning Dreier's name.
The host of the show, Al Rantel is a gay conservative. We had a blast.
And when I wasn't talking about Dreier, I was raising questions about Ken Mehlman. They are on the defensive, yet they have no morals or ethics to count on.

Historical Views of the Rockaways
Most likely, this rare view of Reid's Dock at Rockaway Point in 1933, was taken from the Bayside Walk in front of Nels Friberg's Bungalow and Tent Resort at the Point, in the good old days!
Friberg is best remembered as one of the fiercest opponents of the Rockaway Operating Company, best described as a dictatorial landlord... Literally!
Before the "Pointers" banded together against the company, all their dayto day needs had to be purchased from company stores in the old Point area. Grocery store boats and general store boats were allowed to stop at docks or anchor offshore to sell needful things to "Pointers" with the old company's permission.
They sailed from Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn.
The Brooklyn shore can be seen in the background, but can any "pointer" ID the exact spot from which this old photo was taken?
You can see many other photos of the Point in my book-"The Rockaways," visit arcadiapublishing.com to get a copy.

Trailer for Ari Folman's The Congress
It's hard to believe but it's been five years since Ari Folman made his award-winning debut Waltz With Bashir. But after watching this trailer, it looks like the director's time between releasing films has been truly well spent.
Off the back of his critically acclaimed debut, Folman atrracted the likes of Harvey Keitel, Paul Giamatti and Robin Wright for his follow-up, the sci-fi animation The Congress, which is a loose adaptation of Stanislaw Lem's 'The Futurological Congress'.
From IMDb: An aging, out-of-work actress accepts one last job, though the consequences of her decision affect her in ways she didn't consider.
The most interesting thing you'll probably pick up on in the trailer is the fact that Robin Wright plays...Robin Wright. What's up with that? Anyway, the film is set to open the Director's Fortnight in Cannes this week so we'll soon know what the verdict is.

Library Scenes
I could handle any behavior he threw at me there.
Growing up in Atlanta, I remember my Cloud Climber shoes clanging on the metal stairs as I descended to the library's basement kids' section. I watched Marx Brothers films and realized I preferred their cleverness to the eye-poking humor of the Three Stooges, my first cultural snobbery. The mystery novels my mother checked out added an exotic streak, with their covers showing stylized guns and pools of blood and grandfather clocks and with titles like Tick Tock to Murder.
Now, as a stay-at-home parent, I seek out libraries as a source of comfort and community, a place where I can indulge without spending money, make choices instead of feeling warped by consumerist passivity. My first choice for a good time is the Pittsfield branch.
Saturday morning, sipping my coffee at home, I search the library catalog on my computer. I click "request this title" with an abandon that can only stem from caffeinated optimism and pure euphoria at all the information at my beck and call. The lovely people at the library email me when my selections are ready to pick up.

11 Ideas for a Red Hot Valentine's Dayby Jackie Alpers in Holidays, How-to, February 11th, 2015
In the early 1930s, the Ferrara Candy Company created the famous Red Hots cinnamon candies using the cold panned candy method. The inventors probably never imagined that the candies, which have become a Valentine's Day staple, could be used in so many ways. All of these ideas utilize one 6-ounce theater box of the candies. Browse the full gallery for all 11 spiced-up homemade Valentine's Day treats.
Red Hot Strawberries
Red Hots melt perfectly into a smooth syrup that can be incorporated into a variety of recipes, including these candy-coated strawberries (pictured above). Boil 1 box of Red Hots with 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar to 300 degrees F (hard crack stage). Use a candy thermometer to monitor. Carefully dip skewered strawberries into the candy. Let cool completely.

The enforcement directorate (ED) has attached YSR Congress party chief Jagan Mohan Reddy's assets worth Rs. 143.74 crore, terming them as 'proceeds of crime'.
Sources said the move, a provisional attachment order issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, was in connection with the ED's ongoing probe in a money laundering case against Reddy.
Earlier, the ED issued two attachment orders worth Rs. 51 crore and Rs. 71 crore in the case. The agency is planning to issue a few more attachment orders in the case.
The agency is probing the case on the basis of the FIR filed by CBI to investigate alleged disproportionate assets amassed by Reddy.

The easiest and the fastest medium of transport is the air as the flights take a lesser time to transport the person from the place of origin to the place of destination. There are various commercial airline companies which provide air facilities. There are some people who cannot travel with all the other people all the time and need special arrangements to travel from one place to another so they use private jet services.
For such important clients there is the option of choosing to travel in private jets and air crafts. There are several affluent companies which provide this express service of an exclusive private jet charter to the clients who wish to travel in their own transportation. These companies deal with extremely influential, wealthy and powerful people and as a result they know how to deal with all kinds of demands of these classes of people. The services provided in the charters are extremely wonderful and the client has a great flying experience along with quick transportation from one place to another. One thing that is definitely guaranteed by such company is that they provide their clients with all the luxury, leisure, glamour and beauty that they deal with on a daily basis. The private executive jet chartercompanies make sure that the demands of the clients are given a great deal of importance as one happy or satisfied customer will bring an outstanding brand name, which is extremely important for such companies.
For the clients there are a wide variety of charters available from which they can make a conscious choice. It could be a light jets like Beechjet 400 or Citation CJ3/ 2/1 or a mid -size jet like Citation Excel or Hawker 700, etc. or it could be a super Mid jet like Challenger 300 or Falcon 50 or the turboprops like King Air 200/ 300/ 500. With such a wide array of choices available so easily and readily why would anyone choose to fly with the commercial airlines that are highly non- reliable and often lead to delay? Make a conscious choice and choose private jet flight for the next trip.
