Genome-wide analysis of histone modifiers in tomato: gaining an insight into their developmental roles
Plant genomics
Histone post-translational modifications (HPTMs) including acetylation and methylation have been recognized as playing a crucial role in epigenetic regulation of plant growth and development. Although
Based on recently released tomato whole-genome sequences, we identified
In this study, we reveal the structure, phylogeny and spatial expression of members belonging to the classical families of HMs in tomato. We provide a framework for gene discovery and functional investigation of
Chromatin is characterized by a dynamic multi-level organization passing through the nucleosomal basic unit, the 30-nm fiber, and higher-order folding up to the chromosome
HATs and HDACs are classified into different families that are generally conserved in eukaryotes, including yeast, animals, and plants. Plant HATs are currently categorized into four groups on the basis of homology with other eukaryotic HATs and domain composition: (i) HAG with Acetyltransf_1 domain (PF00583) (AT1) include GCN5-, ELP3-, HAT1-like acetyltransferases; (ii) HAM with a MYST (MOZ-YBF2/SAS3-SAS2-TIP60) domain; (iii) HAC with similarity to p300/CREB-binding protein; (iv) HAF related to the TATA binding protein-associated factor 1
In Arabidopsis, HDACs and HATs are emerging as crucial players in growth and development processes, including meiotic recombination, embryogenesis, flowering, and senescence as well as in responses to environmental cues
In spite of the crucial role emerging for epigenetic modifications in plant growth and development, little is known regarding HMs in the important crop
Results and discussion
In this study, 124 histone modifiers (HMs) were identified in tomato. We systematically classified 32 proteins belonging to HATs, 14 to HDACs, 52 to HMTs, and 26 to HDMs.
Tomato HATs
The tomato genome encodes 26 proteins showing similarity to the HAG group (Figure

In order to infer the phylogenic history of tomato HAGs, we compared them with Arabidopsis, maize and rice orthologs. HAGs are distributed in six main clades with high bootstrap values (Figure
The existence of so many HAG members in the tomato proteome compared with Arabidopsis as well as monocots led us to investigate HAGs in Arabidopsis in greater depth. BLAST search using the AT1 domain as a query returned 33 proteins in Arabidopsis, thereby giving a number close to tomato. Based on the domain composition, in Arabidopsis we identified At2g22910 and At4g37670 which in addition to AT1 have the AAK domain (PF00696). Similarly to tomato, it is likely that these two proteins are not histone acetylases. Phylogenetic analysis of tomato and Arabidopsis HAGs indicates that the different subgroups evolved differently in these species (see Additional file

Tomato HDMs
In tomato, we identified 34 proteins showing similarity to HDMA histone demethylases. All are characterized by the C-terminal Amino_Oxidase domain (AOD) (PF01593) but only six (SlHDMA1 to SlHDMA6) also have the N-terminal SWIRM (PF04433) domain that is conserved in all HDMAs.

Home Made Bread Crumbs
Cooking tips for the caring cook.
Easy Peasy Home Made Bread Crumbs
Instead of relying on store-bought dry bread crumbs, you can easily make your own.
Make crumbs from toasted white bread. Crush the slices with a rolling pin or an empty bottle. Or, you can buzz them to fine crumbs in an electric blender or food processor.
It is fun and easy to make your own bread crumbs. Place a layer of fresh, sliced bread on a baking sheet, brush lightly with butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Bake at 300-degrees until lightly browned and completely dry. Cool completely and break into pieces. Pulse in a food processor or place into a sturdy plastic bag and crush gently with a rolling pin.
Making your own Seasoned Bread Crumbs
- It's easy to make your own seasoned bread crumbs for use as a crisp casserole topping, a coating for chicken or fish or a crust for vegetable gratin's. Use completely dry or stale bread, tear it into small pieces and grind it into crumbs in a food processor. If your bread is still somewhat soft, cut into thin slices and place in a 250 degrees oven until completely dry. Season the dried bread by simply spraying with cooking spray and coating with herbs.
- Use unsweetened bran cereal, matzoh meal or crushed cornflakes for bread crumbs. Cracker crumbs can also double as bread crumbs but contain more sodium, so taste for saltiness as you prepare a recipe.
Short of Bread Crumbs?
Stretch what you've got by using your blender to grind up crackers, unsweetened breakfast cereal or potato chips. Cornmeal and wheat germ will also work in a pinch.
Fix up everyday vegetables with a sprinkling of buttered bread crumbs or shredded or grated reduced-fat cheese.
Freshly made bread crumbs will keep for a week or more in a tightly closed jar in the refrigerator.

Dating and relationships can be hard for anyone. But gay teens have some additional obstacles to work through. Coming out of the closet can be one of the hardest hurdles for gay teens along with finding partners and fighting against all the religious, as well as social stereotypes.
People believe that homosexuality is wrong. Individuals say that the world was meant for "Adam and Eve," not "Adam and Steve." One thing that society could use is more couples who cannot procreate, and therefore can adopt more children that are unfortunate enough to not have any parents.
The only reason the government does not allow gay marriage in many states is because of their beliefs in religion. Government officials have personal views on homosexuality instead of viewing the aspect of freedom for the country. Separation of church and state is not as strong as it should be in America. Teenagers will have to face a future of banned gay marriage if the government does not allow the full freedom of the marriage thereof. Is that right?
A few advantages to being gay:
- Same sex couples can understand each other better than opposite-sex couples.
- Gay couples can adopt children who don't have parents.
- Gay teens can be open to many different job opportunities. For example, a homosexual teenager male may want to work in fashion and be free to do so, whereas straight men lean more towards masculine jobs. Vice versa for lesbian teens.
- Homosexuality opens up more possible opportunities for an already developing nation.
A few disadvantages to being gay:
- Many religions believe homosexuality is wrong and should be discouraged in society, especially when it comes to teenagers.
- Since gay teenagers don't run the risk of getting pregnant, they neglect the use of protection in relationships, which can lead to a stronger risk of STDs
- Society does not accept homosexuality so gay teenagers are looked down upon and are afraid of "coming out."
- In some schools, teens do not get very much respect for being gay and are socially neglected or made fun of.
- Teenagers have a hard time getting a job already and being gay can make it harder due to workplace discrimination.
- Athletes tend to get a controversial reputation when they come out of the closet, which could cause them to lose their position in their sport. It sounds ridiculous but this kind of thing happens quite often.
Being who you are shouldn't be terrifying. So why are some kids afraid of coming out of the closet? Parents should be encouraging their kids, even if they make different choices than their parents originally would. It's not the parents life to live, it's their teens. Being gay is perfectly normal and perfectly healthy.

FC Dallas isn't wasting any time spending the big chunk of allocation money gained from Brek Shea's $4 million transfer to Stoke City, with the club revealing on Friday that talks were underway with Toronto FC for the services of French striker Eric Hassli.
The official FC Dallas twitter account revealed the trade talks on Friday evening in rather surprising fashion:
NEWS: #FCDallas is in talks with Toronto FC and close to finalizing a deal to bring Eric Hassli to Dallas.
— FC Dallas (@FCDallas) February 1, 2013
//platform.twitter.com/widgets.jsThe development comes more than two weeks after SBI reported that Hassli had requested a trade from Toronto FC.
So what would a trade consist of? The most likely scenario would have FC Dallas shipping TFC allocation money with Toronto sending Hassli to Dallas while picking up some of his salary. It is tough to picture a scenario where Dallas would bring in Hassli and also pay his Designated Player salary. The deal could be similar to the trade FC Dallas and Toronto FC made last season for Julian DeGuzman, a deal that saw TFC pay most of DeGuzman's salary.
Here are some more MLS stories to catch you up on the pre-sesaon action in the league:
The Portland Timbers went into the off-season with a long list of things to do to transform the club. At the top of that list was getting rid of Kris Boyd.
SBI reported two weeks ago that the Timbers had succeeded in dumping Boyd, and Portland confirmed that news on Friday, announcing that they had terminated his contract by mutual consent.
Boyd never quite settled in with the Timbers, and was seen as a poor fit for Caleb Porter's possession and high-pressing system. He managed seven goals and one assist in 25 matches for the Timbers.
With Boyd gone, the Timbers have salary cap room to make some more personnel moves before the start of the MLS season.
Portland has already made a plethora of major moves, including signing midfielder Diego Valeri as a Designated Player and trading for Canadian midfielder Will Johnson and Jamaican forward Ryan Johnson.
The Colorado Rapids defeated the San Jose Earthquakes, 1-0, courtesy of a Jamie Smith goal off an Andre Akpan pass on Saturday in Tucson. (HIGHLIGHTS)
The New York Red Bulls defeated the Columbus Crew, 2-0, on Friday in Tucson, Arizona. Rookie Ian Christianson and Kenny Cooper. (RECAP)
Guest trialist Jerome Mechak scored the lone goal in Sporting Kansas City's 1-0 win vs. the Portland Timbers in Tucson, Arizona on Friday night. Soony Saad left the match with a bruised tailbone. (RECAP)
What do you think of these developments? Think FC Dallas is wise to go after Hassli, or is it a risky move? See Portland's move to dump Boyd being a big plus, or did they cut the Scottish striker loose too soon?
Share your thoughts below.
Ossington Mental Youth
I really hope that TFC isnt paying for any of his salary, we could use him as a striker and he would be effective. That being said id rather have teh cap space and someone that wants to be here (as well as an effective striker if possible). I really dont see how we'd benefit from shipping him out AND paying for a piece of his salary. If we want rid of him that bad, pay him off.
Doom Boy
I have to agree with OMY above. This makes no sense for Toronto if they pick up any of his salary, especially considering Payne has been vocal in local media about how poorly the salary cap has been managed, and how he's looking at buying out a DP in order to bring things into balance.
i don't think it makes much sense for FCD either because you don't know which Hassli will show up. He's great when he's on his game but the guy seems to be a major league flake and always unhappy about something.
You know TFC is going to be paying most of it.
So, was he one of the guys that showed up unfit?
Is their any doubt that he probably was one of the unfit players? The dude is a big guy as it is. With his bad work ethic and antics he's pulls sometimes, it wouldn't surprise me in the least bit.
The player who goes to bad teams… and makes them worse.
Good luck Dallas!

One of the Boys
She's tired of being one of "them". She doesn't want to be is "lil' sis" anymore. She wants more. She doesn't want a high five when she can have a kiss. She wants to smell like a rose, not a baseball team. For once, she wants to beone of the girls, pretty in pink, not one of the boys. She wants to hear those three little words from "him". But how can this happen when she is one of his guys? Just give her the chance to prove that she just wants to be one of the girls, pretty in pink. Not one of the boys.
Note to the Reader: Got the idea from "One of the Boys" by Katy Perry.

The Juniper Quality of Life (QOL) questionnaire is the standard used for assessing dyspnea in asthma patients. It consists of 7 questions, 6 subjective and one objective (spirometry)in nature. Each data point is scored in a range of 0-6 with the overall score expressed as the average of all questions. While this provides useful information, we propose scoring the questionnaire differently, looking at the objective versus the subjective scores. We believe this will predict a population of "poor perceivers" or patients who unreliably judge the severity of their asthma.
A retrospective chart review of patient records from our Asthma Clinic. Patients included had ICD 9 codes for asthma and were over the age of 18. Data was abstraced from the Juniper QOL questionnaire looking at the difference between the average score on the 6 subjective questions and the objective (spirometry)score.
Of 100 charts reviewed, 97 had completed QOL questionnaires. Subjective scores were greater than objective scores by more than one data point in 28 (28.9%) of patients. Subjective and objective scores were matched within one data point in 23 (23.7%) of patients. Subjective scores were lower than objective scores by more than one data point in 46 (47%) of patients.
This adjusted QOL scoring reveals that the majority of asthma patients' perception of dyspnea does not correlate with their spirometric data.
Patients with poor perception of dyspnea need further education to better judge the severity of their asthma.

Bitter Sweet Reunion
Spring 72ndyear-My dear Euphorium has come to visit me but I'm afraid the reunion is bitter sweet. I intercepted her at the edge of the forest so that I may conceal her presence. The anti-faerie sentiment seems to be experiencing a revival amongst my clearing. We made a vacation at Hedera and Clover's dwelling who were courteous enough to give us a good deal of time to ourselves.
I believe they must know of my fondness for Euphorium. Clover exchanged many a wink with me when excusing herself from our presence so that she might assist Hedera in the garden or elsewhere. I showed my dear friend all my favorite places amongst the forest, I even confessed my therapy of burning leaves. It was dare I say a 'magical' time. When she left me, to my delight, she ventured to kiss me upon the cheek. It sent a most pleasant tingling sensation through my body. My affections for Euphorium run deep and I hope I am not fooling myself that she returns such affections.
When I returned to the clearing rumors were circling and my brother met me with much aggression. He dashed me across the cheek and I fell to the ground as he admonished my associating with a faerie. I tried to defend myself and my friend, to provide an explanation but he would have none of it. He had no heart to listen to me. Now I am anxiously waiting for the retribution that may come as the consequence of my actions.

MS Paint vs PicMonkey vs Photoscape
I do a LOT of photo editing. On average, I probably spend 5 hours a week resizing, lightening, cropping and troubleshooting pictures. I don't try for artistic results, just clean, serviceable photos.
Since I haven't had the patience to learn anything difficult, I use a combination of three utilities/programs. They are: MS Paint, PicMonkey and Photoscape. Between the three of them, I can accomplish just about any fixes I care to do.
Why three programs? Because each of them have good and bad points.
MS Paint is a very beginner level program. It has only a few features and the results are frequently pixely. On the other hand, MS Paint is extremely fast.
I use MS Paint primarily for resizing photographs, making quick and simple line borders and for occasional fix-ups that only require drawing in a few pixels. It works very efficiently for those adjustments and it only takes a few seconds to open, save and close.
For more complicated photo repairs I use my free Photoscape program. Photoscape is a lot harder to use, but it has a lot of useful features. It includes Bloom, Backlight, White Balance, Color Balance and tons more.
The features I use most are often are Contrast Enhancement, Deepen, Brighten, Darken. None of these features require any real knowledge of digital art, because they each have three pre-programmed levels to choose from. Plus, a very useful undo button.
When I want to get a bit artsy, I use PicMonkey. Picmonkey is fun to use and has lots of special effects, fonts, overlays and more.
I have purchased the upgraded plan, in order to get a few more tools. The plan is about $30-$40 dollars a year and you get the addition of collage plus some other extras. However, the program is quite usable, even without the upgrade.
I use PicMonkey for the nice frame selection, the collage feature and some really cool special effects. PicMonkey is easy to learn and very enjoyable to use. I sometimes play with it for hours, just for the pure pleasure.
Is it difficult to switch between three programs?
I don't think so. 85% of my editing is done just using MS Paint. I then switch to one of the other programs only if I need to. So far, I'm quite satisfied.
Nonetheless, satisfied or not, I am considering trying out other programs. My choices are Lightroom, or the free versions of Pixeluvo or TwistedBrush Pro Studio. If I do start using something new, I'll post an update to let you know how I incorporate it into my workflow.

Travel Blogs from Odessa
A Day with the US Presidents
Yesterday, we left Fredericksburg and drove to San Angelo. Today we left San Angelo, Texas to visit Midland and Odessa which are within 25 miles from each other. As we proceed to the west, we realize how diverse of a state Texas is. In the past 2 days of travel we have seen: cattle, sheep, goats, buffalo, horses, llamas and even oil jacks alongside the road. We have seen large ranches, small old-west towns,and even skyscrapers. We have passed from the Texan hill ...
The denouement
The wrap up... Have been in Recovery mode! Our Thursday daytime was spent at the MOMA. Note to self, probably not the place to go during Spring Break, quite a crowd. A lot of groups of tweens and high schoolers, obviously on their school break learning trip. Also a new exhibit by Bjork adding to the crowd. We opted not to go to the Bjork exhibit because of the line to go in. We still saw a lot of lovely exhibits and the permanent collection has some of my favorites. Of course ...
Boring Drive
Drove to Midland, Tx. And stopped for the night. Very boring. I still hate Texas. Midland, boyhood home of George W. Bush. Before we left Bossier, we stopped at Southern Maid Donuts. World famous and a must have while visiting Louisiana. Similar to Krispy Kreme, and just as delicious. Elvis only made one commercial in his lifetime. It was for Southern ...
At Sea
... Stillness not overrated for sleeping. On ship TV played the first season of Game of Thrones and I watched them all. Still not fond of Ned's Death scene. So Monday everyone just hung out at the bar all day and then we went to the Captains reception. Hilarity ensued and had trouble not laughing too much. The Captain has a theme song they play when he walks in... like Hail to the Chief but with dramatic sailing ...
Bon Voyage!
As usual just getting out of Midland is the most difficult part of the journey. Leave on time? if your not on Southwest, forget it. I have never been on a flight where the take off has been aborted. Just as we began to take off the pilot hit the brakes and aborted. If I had eaten breakfast it would have ...

st: Finding the corresponding variable
Sun, 7 Apr 2013 13:54:49 +0930
I have TWO variables of dates, called "datea" and "dateb". I would
like to calculate the number of days between a particular date (says,
1/01/2013) and the closest day either "datea" or "dateb".
Firstly, I generated one variable called "var1" which is the number of
days between the particular date and "datea" and also generated
another variable called "var2" which is the number of days between the
particular date and "dateb".
Then I set up another variable "var3" in order to choose the minimun
number of days between "var1" and "var2". By using the Command as
---> egen var3 = rowmin (var1 var2).
My question is that after getting "var3", how I can list the
corresponding "datea" or "dateb"?
i.e. var3---> var1 or var2----> datea or dateb
Thank you for your time.

Allu Arjun's Julayi: What are its highlights?
The subject of the movie may not be new, but director Trivikram Srinivas' treatment of the subject is very fresh and innovative, says a source from the production team. Allu Arjun's performance is going to be the major highlight of the film. Especially, his dance moves and action is sure to leave the audience spellbound, adds the source. Ileana D'Cruz will fill the glamour slot perfectly.
The music of Julayi, which has been composed by Devi Sri Prasad, will be its second highlight. The film has five songs, which have already been successful in impressing the music lovers. Two of them have been shot in beautiful locations of Dubai. The costumes of lead pair in the songs look just super cool. The dance of the lead pair is another attraction of the songs.
Julayi does not lack on other mass entertainer values action and comedy sequences. Popular stunt master Peter Hein has choreographed some of the best action scenes, which are another attraction to look forward. Besides this, Brahmanandam, Ali and MS Narayana will have the audience convulsing in laughter.
However, Julayi is produced by S Radha Krishna and DVV Danayya with a big budget. Sonu Sood has a key role in the movie. The producers say that Rajendra Prasad's performance will also be one of the highlights of this trend-setter. Overall, Julayi is going to be a complete mass entertainer with masala ingredients. It should be seen how the viewers will accept it.

The EU has decided to keep sanctions on Russia in place, judging that Ukraine's peace deal is not fully effective.
EU ambassadors who met on Tuesday had noted some "encouraging developments" since the 5 September ceasefire was agreed, an EU spokeswoman said.
But other parts of the peace deal "will need to be properly implemented", said the spokeswoman, Maja Kocijancic.
Sanctions target senior Russian officials, as well as Russia's oil industry, defence firms and banks.
Western governments and the Ukrainian authorities in Kiev accuse Russia of supplying the separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine with heavy weapons and soldiers. Russia denies the allegations. EU and US sanctions have been in place since Russia's annexation of Crimea in March.
At least 3,200 people have died in fighting since April in Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and thousands of civilians have fled the conflict.
More heavy shelling was reported on Tuesday in the Donetsk airport area.

Another worthless rant by you a cross dressing poofter who lubes up his arse by eating McDonalds (its unique I'll grant you that).<quoted text>
I know, you love your excuse, so you can just cry to your imaginary friend and be forgiven for the vile and evil things you say and do. How many people have you killed in the name of your god, just so you don't do prison time?
If God is imaginary as you say, then I cannot sin. After all? Who would I be sinning against? You?
Topix atheist = maltheist = narcissist who thinks they should be worshipped as a god.
Why dont you go to the local bar to see if you can find Lupe before he gets thrown out. You can steal his empty tequila bottle, smash it up and mix it into a beef vindaloo. That way he'll really be able to shred your arse.

I recently decided I was going to teach myself how to knit and so am teaching myself as I go along in my soaker pattern for my son.
So my question: I am starting with the long-tail method of cast-on. Got that down. (Yay! The rest....not so pretty...). BUT I noticed as I cast-on, (and because I don't quite know the language...this may sound funny) that there were two loops on my needle with the first cast-on (not using a slip knot, just starting right away with long-tail). I know that the first cast-on counts as a stitch....but with that method, with two loops right away, does it count as two?!
Do I count loops for stitches or something else?
So when I get to that end when I am doing the ribbing, ending with a knit stitch, do I go through both loops?
Or am I just doing it wrong....please let me know if this makes sense....lol.
With any cast on (that I know of) you always count the stitches by how many loops are on the needle.Slip knots and other loops at the beginning will count as a stitch just as any other loop on the needle.
You are doing it right if you get two stitches with your cast on when you start.There should be 1.) the loop from pressing your finger down on the needle and 2.)the loop created by the actual cast on(maneuvering the needle through the yarn on your thumb and then index). Every other stitch cast on by this method will only produce one more stitch, but the first does make two like you're getting.
The two first stitches don't need to be treated any different from any other stitch you cast on.Just go by the number of loops on the needle.

text: Hi everyone, I am trying to get a ballpark idea of the cost for an intimate wedding. My BF and I plan to get married in 2007. Does anyone have the prices for the intimate packages for next year? I heard there were changes. We are not sure if we want the ceremony at the Wedding Pavillion or at the Boardwalk, so I am interested in the deluxe and premium prices. We will book our hotel and pay tickets separately, so I would like the "add-on" prices. Thanks a million!!!!

text: For instance, an automotive manufacturer can use IBM MessageSight to help manage the features and services of its automobiles. With thousands of sensors in each car, a dealer can now be notified when a "check engine" light turns on in a specific car. Based on the information transmitted by the engine sensor, the dealer could then notify the owner that there is a critical problem and they should get their car serviced immediately."To realize the vision of a Smarter Planet, we must first enable the universe of instrumented sensors, devices and machines to communicate more efficiently while sharing, managing and integrating large volumes of data at a rate much faster than ever before," said Bob S. Johnson, director of development for Sprint's Velocity Program. "We have been testing IBM MessageSight for some initial projects and are excited about the capabilities that it could help us deliver to the vehicle and beyond." The vast majority of the 22 billion sensors will be found in devices that are mobile. As a result, IBM MessageSight is designed to complement and extend the IBM MobileFirst offerings, now enabling a corporation to create mobile solutions, manage and monitor those mobile devices in real time. Introduced in February, IBM MobileFirst is a collection of mobile enterprise software, services, cloud and analytics capabilities that help a corporation design, deploy, secure and manage mobile strategies and apps. According to IDC, the market for mobile enterprise infrastructure software and services was $14.5 billion in 2012, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 16.3%. IDC expects this market to reach $30.9 billion in 2016. Foundational to IBM MessageSight is its support of MQTT, which was recently proposed to become an OASIS standard, providing a lightweight messaging transport for communication in machine to machine (M2M) and mobile environments. Sensors are often small in size, have low power and typically low communications bandwidth capabilities. MQTT can be used in conjunction with these devices. Its low power consumption, high performance and reliability allow real time updates that can be acted upon immediately. IBM MobileFirst Portfolio Delivers Expanded Mobile Analytics and Cloud Services to Clients In other news, the IBM MobileFirst portfolio is being extended further today with the introduction of new mobile analytics capabilities and cloud services that enable corporations to design more engaging mobile offerings to reach customers, partners and employees in new and compelling ways. As a result, mobile apps can now be constantly tailored to meet the needs of the specific audience they are trying to reach.

Richard Crouch, president of the Glenwood Resource Center Parents and Family Group, said the findings of an investigation by the Iowa Department of Human Services (IDHS) have not changed his opinion about the care his son is receiving at the state-operated facility for individuals with profound physical and intellectual disabilities. Crouch's son has resided at GRC for 30-plus years.
The first barrel of beer has been brewed at Keg Creek Brewing's new production facility south of Glenwood.
Panhead is a dark, 19th Century English-style porter that's expected to be available to patrons of Glenwood's hometown brewery in early 2017.
"This is what we've been working toward," said Randy Romens, one of four partners with ownership in the brewery that marked its fifth anniversary in 2016 by expanding its brewing operations to the former Kirsch Trucking building at 22381 221st St.
An Ohio man could spend the rest of his life in prison after being found guilty of first-degree murder in the September shooting death of a Glenwood teen.
A Mills County jury deliberated for about two and one-half hours Friday before announcing its "guilty" verdict in the state's case against Mark Alan Troutman, 27, of Sylvania, Ohio.
Opening arguments were heard in a trial Tuesday afternoon at the Mills County Courthouse for a 27-year-old Ohio man charged with first-degree murder.
Mark Alan Troutman is accused of fatally shooting 18-year-old Kathryn "Katie" Weber-Kuhl outside the Linnwood Estates Assisted Living facility last September.
EDITOR'S NOTE - With today marking the 75th anniversary of the Empire of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, we honor the service and memory of Robert Woods Jackson - Mills County's first casualty of World War II. It's a story we've shared before and one we should never forget.
U.S. Rep. David Young said he's impressed with the plan to bring the proposed Glen Haven Village skilled nursing care facility to the campus of the Glenwood Resource Center (GRC).
Last week, Iowa's 3rd District congressman listened to a presentation about the $3.2 million project, given by Larry Raabe, a member of the Glen Haven Home Board of Directors.
MALVERN - The footings are in and the underground infrastructure is coming together at the construction site for the Charles E. and Florence M. Lakin Community Center on the Mills County Fairgrounds.
The Glenwood boys tennis team's season came to an end Monday in the Class 3A substate final at Atlantic.
The Rams dropped a 5-4 decision to host Trojans to end their hopes of a return trip to the state tournament. Glenwood had handed Atlantic its lone dual loss back in April.
Neither the weather nor Clarke-Osceola could stop Glenwood in Saturday's Class 1A Girls State Tennis Quarterfinals in Atlantic.
The Rams earned a 5-1 victory to secure a spot in the state semifinals. The Rams were to meet Waverly-Shell Rock on Tuesday in Boone. Those results were not available at press time.
Janette Schraft admitted the race was the toughest of her short but already prolific career.
That race was the 3,000-meters and the pace far exceeded what the East Mills sophomore had planned.
Little could you tell on Schraft's face as she stoically dismantled the field and won her second straight gold medal in the 3,000-meters on the opening day of the Iowa State Track Meet in Des Moines.

Mast mounted Roller Furling Main Sail

would someone tell me the pros/cons of a roller furling main sail
Re: Mast mounted Roller Furling Main Sail
I am very interested in this as well, looks like there are no takers with this question so far. Its not everyday you see these types of mainsail configurations.
There is a Union Polaris 36 for sale by my place and that has a roller furling main mast setup like the pictures you showed.
Re: Mast mounted Roller Furling Main Sail
In-mast furlers are a better setup than the external 'add-on' style shown. Luff sag, and the 'slot' between the sail and the mast minimize the effectiveness and the lack of roach on the sail makes things worse.
In mast furlers do away with the slot/gap but do share some of these other downsides. However unless racing many will embrace the convenience, and sadly furling mains are becoming almost standard on many new boats today. And if not racing, the performance hit is probably not a big issue for most.
Like many things sailing, there are fans, detractors, and converts. Furling mains are not for me....... yet.. :rolleyes:;)
This has been discussed before at length.. do a search on the topic and you'll get pages of reading to do...

Day 104 - Back In Florida! Almost Home!
... around 2:00 when we crossed into Florida. It felt good to be getting closer to home. It was warm again, and everything was a little greener. We even got to see palm trees again. It was just a great, relaxing afternoon ride. The weather kept threatening a little all afternoon with more brief showers, but by 4:30 we made it to the hotel.

New laws needed
As our president has requested, I am willing to accept the verdict of the jury in the Trayvon Martin case.
Apparently no laws were violated. Our legislators need to get busy and write new laws that will define leaving one's home with a loaded weapon and looking for trouble as vigilantism. The phrase "stand your ground" means you are minding your own business and someone else initiates a threat against you. That is not what happened in this instance. The exact sequence of events, who first hit whom, who was screaming on the tape, do not matter. The bottom line is that if George Zimmerman had stayed home that night, Trayvon Martin would be alive today.

Shame for Zimmerman, jury
Here's what we know about the George Zimmerman trial: Zimmerman assumed that Trayvon Martin was up to no good or planning to commit a crime based on the way he looked or the way he was walking. That's clear from the 911 recordings.
We know that Zimmerman followed Martin and that Martin reacted to the actions that Zimmerman initiated. We don't know what was said or who threw the first punch but we know a fight broke out, which never would have happened if Zimmerman had stayed in his truck or hadn't made such erroneous assumptions about Martin.
The fight seemed to be pretty evenly matched until Zimmerman pulled the gun. Then the fight was over and so was Trayvon Martin's life. Martin may have been getting the better of Zimmerman but there's no evidence that Zimmerman's life was ever in danger.
Zimmerman expressed anger and perhaps hate when the whole episode started and I'm sure those emotions escalated when he found himself in a fight. He should be ashamed of himself for ending a non-life-threatening fight this way and so should the jury for acquitting him.

Shame on Ben Jealous
I recall thinking it was pretty cool when Ben Jealous was elected to head of the national NAACP.
Born and raised in sleepy Pacific Grove, his white father the creator of "Breakthrough for Men," his black mother the creator of "Break Free for Women," his is a dynamic, socially proactive family. I thought he would bring balanced and rational thinking to the organization known to take over-the-top reactionary positions on issues that often do people of color more harm than good.
Well my expectation of the young man has been dashed.
Shame on Ben Jealous to have the anti-Constitutional gall to demand that Barack Obama and the Department of Justice ignore the verdict in the Zimmerman trial. Certainly Zimmerman, who is half-Jewish and half-Hispanic, therefore more ethnic that Ben Jealous, is a low life but there's isn't a shred of evidence to prove he acted out of racist hatred.
How come the Hispanic and Jewish communities aren't taking to the streets to confront the loonies led by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Ben Jealous?
Confront them and tell them to grow up and shut up and go away.

Play by the rules
How did so much work on the obviously commercial Carmel Canine Sports Center get done on agricultural land without permits?
The county informed the developers that "any activity not related to agricultural production" was prohibited. Under the pretext of preparing for "agricultural production," the developers have stripped the 45-acre site of all vestiges of agricultural use and begun constructing parking lots and other facilities. They have done this while posting signs and submitting plans to the county announcing the development of a large for-profit operation. In response, the county has acquiesced in this commercial development with full knowledge that it is "not related to agricultural production."
One of the developers is a member of the county Planning Commission, which plays a central role in determining how this project proceeds. Under these circumstances, the county is obliged to comply with the law and its own rules and to avoid any appearance of impropriety. Apparently the county has chosen not to do so.
Whether or not you are in favor or are directly impacted, you have an interest in seeing that the county plays by the rules.

A way to ease tight parking
Regarding the July 11 article by Phillip Molnar on packed parking in Monterey, I wanted to share an observation.
I often am the first customer on weekdays at Peet's Coffee when it opens at 5 a.m., sometimes arriving at 4:45. I have watched five or more cars park in the lot and the drivers walk into Trader Joe's in their work uniforms to presumably go to work. It is possible that later these same drivers move their cars elsewhere during shift breaks. However, it appears to me that they still contribute to the lack of parking spaces.
I would think that if there were incentives (e.g. parking vouchers at garages) provided by all the shopping center employers, these same employees might park elsewhere and walk the extra five to 10 minutes. Of course, there will always be the occasional employee who is late and has to park in front to get a timecard punched on time, but all in all this solution might be advantageous to storekeepers, employees and customers alike.

Doing something about water problem
I keep seeing articles and op-eds in the paper on how frustrated everyone is with how the water situation on our Peninsula is being handled.
Well I would like to say hats off to the folks who have stepped up to take a leadership role and get something done on this issue. It can't be easy to stand up and try to help, and then be barraged with criticism.
I would like to say thank you to everyone who is trying to find a solution to this very complex problem.

Best Clear Casing for PSP 3000
I just bought a PSP 3000 and still need to get a case for it. I want one that is clear plastic and covers the whole PSP as well as the screen, but allows me to open the UMD door without having to take the casing off.
Right now I'm looking at the Zagg Invisible Shield one (http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/sony-psp-slim-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php) and the Rocket Fish pack that includes a clear case (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketfish%26%23153%3B+-+Starter+Kit+for+PSP/8988679.p?id=1218008115546&...).
I want to make sure I get one that fits snugly, so the PSP is not rattling around inside it, and protects the systems well from scratches, but isn't an inconvenience to play with.
Anyone have either or these or can recommend any?
I kinda like the Rockfish one, because it comes with the other accessories and it has good reviews on BestBuy.com. But I'm not sure the quality of the case it comes with.
My only worry with the Zagg one is that you have to practically glue it on with a solution, which I'm paranoid about doing. If you had to replace it, would you be able to get it off, or would it be forever glued to the PSP?
And this time, things will be different."~ Lara Croft
Solved! Go to Solution.
Re: Best Clear Casing for PSP 3000
i have the rocketfish, but if u take case off, it will slide around the straps. but the rocketfish pack was good for me seeing it came with all those cables. MY VOTE IS ROCKETFISH
Re: Best Clear Casing for PSP 3000
Keep in mind that InvisibleShield is model specific:
That is for the PSP-3000.
I have an InvisibleShield on my 3000 (just the screen coverage) and it does not apply with a solution. you peel it off and it has some adhesive surface that sticks on and can be peeled off easily without any residue. I recommend it. My screen protector is bashed but the screen under it is pristine.
Re: Best Clear Casing for PSP 3000
Thanks! I went with the Rocketfish for now and I really love it and all the stuff that comes with it. I may get the Invisible Shild later also as added protection. Wouldn't be a bad idea to have both.
And this time, things will be different."~ Lara Croft

It's the Ryder Cup seven weeks ahead of schedule. Seventeen of the 38 two-balls at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational on Thursday feature European players versus American.
Only 12 players from each side of the Atlantic will be included in the teams at Gleneagles in September, making the points available this week of huge value for those on the fringe of selection.
Rory McIlroy, leading those already qualified and playing his first event since winning the Open at Hoylake a fortnight ago, is paired with Matt Kuchar. The US Open champion Martin Kaymer has the pleasure of Tiger Woods' company.
The theme continues with Justin Rose walking out with the joint Open runner-up Rickie Fowler. Sergio Garcia, who shared second with Fowler at Royal Liverpool, is paired with Phil Mickelson.
This is only Woods' third tournament since back surgery in April, leaving him way out of the automatic selections. When he was last in this kind of pickle four years ago needing the nod from captain Corey Pavin, Woods produced one of his most convincing displays, returning three points at Celtic Manor.
More of a problem is the four empty weeks looming should he fail to make the Fed-Ex Play-offs which begin at the end of August. "In the end it's what can you do for your team [and whether] you're able to contribute," Woods said. "The whole idea is that when your name is called, are you able to get a point? That's what we're going to try to do. Hopefully, I can get on the team and be a part of that."
Jack Nicklaus spoke the common sense he believes the US captain, Tom Watson, will adopt. "I don't care what he does between now and then," Nicklaus said. "If Tiger wants to play, I would certainly choose him.
"My guess is that Tom feels pretty much the same way. Tom would certainly like to have Tiger on his team and I think anybody in their right mind, unless he just doesn't want to play or doesn't think he could play, would not choose him."
No such issues for McIlroy. His growing stature in the game is reflected in the auction item that the ball that won the Open has become. McIlroy launched his ball into the crowd at Hoylake and the recipient is seeking to maximise his good fortune by making it available to the highest bidder.
The sale, conducted by Green Jacket Auctions in the United States, reports a bid of more than $3,000. Bidding closes on 9 August. "How many chances will a collector have in their entire life to obtain the actual ball used to win a Major Championship?" said a spokesman. "This is a ball that will only gain in significance for the next 20, 50, even 100 years. In the collecting world, this is what's called a dream piece."
Only Nicklaus and Woods have done what McIlroy has in winning three of the four majors by 25. With the final big one of the season following on directly next week the focus will remain on the Northern Irishman come what may this week.
McIlroy tackled questions of consistency, which he conceded has not been what it might, which is a blessing for his rivals. "The good is great and the bad is really bad," he said. "I'm working on it, but I think most players would take the kind of inconsistency I have shown."Reuse content

Chapter 30
Dustin didn't need any more encouragement to leave behind his old life. He'd spent enough time talking himself into it and arguing with everyone else over his decision. The trauma of the last two phone calls solidified his decision to leave this version of himself behind and try to start over again. Maybe this time he'd be able to figure out how to disappear completely and not have to be responsible for anyone else but himself ever again.
Dumping the phone in his pocket he strolled from his hiding place at the side of the building back out into the parking lot. The crowd of families regarded him with wary expressions as if they felt threatened by his presence among them. He could see Marcus and Leon talking animatedly near a row of trees off to the side. The boy looked in his direction and sneered. He didn't say anything.
Dustin ignored the open hostility and all the suspicious glances from the confused family members. Instead he crossed the parking lot making a direct path towards Miss Kennedy. She was standing off to the side, near what he assumed to be her motorcycle and smoking a cigarette.
"Are you ready?" He asked, tossing the keys to the hearse back and forth in his hands.
"What the hell was that about?" She asked motioning towards Marcus.
Dustin shrugged. "It's administrative stuff." He said. Pausing he spit a little blood out onto the pavement before continuing. "Actually, I think I just quit. I guess we were tying up some loose ends is all."
The woman regarding him with marked dubiousness. "And now you want me to get into a car with you?" She asked.
Dustin hesitated. "Well, me and your father." He answered. "We've got the body loaded up around back right now for his trip to the crematorium."
Miss Kennedy took one final drag off her smoke. She creased her brows as she considered what he was telling her. "You're still going to take my dad to be cremated today?" She said stamping out the butt with her foot. "Didn't you just tell me that you quit."
Dustin made an offhand gesture. "Like I said, there's administrative stuff and loose ends that need to be taken care of. I promised you we'd take care of your father's body today and I intend to stick by my words."
The woman shook her head. "Whatever." She said, bending to pick her backpack up off the ground. "Let's get this over with."
Dustin turned motioning for her to follow. "If you're not afraid of aftershocks," He called over his shoulder as they walked towards the door of the funeral home. "It would be faster if we just cut through the offices."
"That's fine." She replied.
Dustin held the door open for her and motioned her inside. Miss Kennedy stood for a moment in the foyer. The earthquake had rattled the doors open to the chapel and knocked Mrs. Peterson partially off the podium where her casket had been sat. She was now propped up against it in almost a standing position. Her face, a façade of peaceful countenance and eternal rest seemed to be greeting them as they came through the door.
Dustin looked at his watch. "Her family should have been here an hour ago." He said with some concern. "I wonder why they're so late."
"What?" The woman said, her gaze transfixed on the erect corpse.
"Her funeral should have been at 3:00." Dustin explained tapping the timepiece on his wrist. "It's almost four. If they're not going to hold the service today then they really should have called."
"I imagine that they have bigger fish to fry right now." She replied. "There's landslides and fallen buildings all over the city."
"And the matriarch of the family is sitting alone in an empty funeral home." Dustin said continuing her thoughts for her. "This is why it's so frustrating to even try having a relationship with people. You do everything that you can for them and then they forget you or leave you alone when its time for your moment."
"She's dead."
Dustin shrugged his shoulders. "She was diagnosed with cancer about six months ago." He explained. "She came in here alone and talked to me about what burial arrangements that she'd like to have made for herself. She couldn't have been a nicer lady. She wanted everything taken care of for her family so that when her time came they wouldn't have to worry about anything. The least they could do is show some respect and see to it that she's given a proper send off."
"Well, isn't that your job." The woman asked.
"Not anymore." Dustin said smiling. "Come on."
Briskly he led her down the hallway, through the break room and past the offices back into the receiving area. As he opened the heavy metal door to the embalming room he could see that Leon had left the bodies of the old man and his wife still sitting on their gurneys. Dustin was thankful that neither one of them had fallen off during the recent quake but rigor mortis was starting to set in on the old woman. It had caused her arms to be partially raised as if in some sort of heavenly plea.
"Can you wait here a moment?" Dustin asked the woman. He was accustomed to seeing this sort of thing but he felt that the grotesqueness of the scene might be too much for her.
"Sure." Miss Kennedy replied.
Dustin entered the room and closed the door behind himself. Looking around, he found a folded rack of clean drape-clothes and plucked two of them gingerly from the stack. He tossed one on top of the woman, trying to press her arms back level with the table as he did so. Then he walked over to the old man.
There was a bag of personal effects. It sat on the gurney beside the old man's ruined head. Inside its clear plastic sat a set of keys, some loose change, and a wallet. The usual stuff.
Against his better judgment, Dustin picked up the bag. Slowly, he pried at the corners, reaching inside to grab the man's wallet. It was plain black leather, thin and worn. It felt light and cold in his hands.
Flipping open the billfold, Dustin plucked out a bank card, driver's license and an old receipt for repairs that had apparently been made to his wife's wheelchair just last year. The license said that the man was 78 and had blue eyes. The receipt said that the wheelchair had suffered a bad bearing in its left-back wheel. The bank card was for the Bay Bank and it had a cut-out representation of the sculpture that Dustin's neighbor had built on the front of it.
The plastic which was there to contain photos was mostly empty. There was a small picture of the man's wife taken when she was much younger, a tag from a shirt (small), and a photo of a big beefy teenager wearing a Black Sabbath T-shirt. Dustin recognized the boy instantly. If you added fifteen years to his face he would have been the same man that had threatened to kill Dustin over a bottle of water earlier that morning.. This was the man's son

Assignment from creative writing.
She meets me in the hall. I can see my father in the living room and I hear the news. She stands akimbo, viciously squeezing her own hipbones with maliciously long nails, immaculately painted and shaped.
"You look like a boy," she spits.
"I don't care."
"Are you a lesbian?" Her eyes narrow suspiciously. I bet she'd like that. It would look good for her to have a gay daughter she could mention to her friends.
"No," I say. From his chair in the corner, my father yells that I look like one. I ignore him. He doesn't turn around again. My mother continues, telling me everyone will think I'm strange or unbalanced, on drugs or God forbid a lesbian. But I know she likes that idea. I can practically see her running it over in her head. She can whine to a horrified Mrs. Blount about it, brag to her liberal friends about it. I bet they'll be jealous. I know they will. God. And she'll never know why I really did it. She'll never even want to know.
A lesbian. Dear God. Where does she come up with this shit? Her clients tell her about all of their drama – and everyone else's. She picked it up from one of them.
She calls me ungrateful, bulges her eyes, throws her hands in the air, and purses her lips. She asks if I'm happy. I say I am. She tells me to shut up. I tell her I am going out, and I leave. My father is still watching television when I close the door.

Automakers converge in Oklahoma discussing Governors' CNG RFP
The RFP resulted from a national, bi-partisan outreach led by Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin and Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, beseeching auto manufacturers to provide affordable, functional vehicles consuming compressed natural gas (CNG) for state automobile fleets.
The RFP was reported by Torque News last month.
As of this month, 22 states have agreed to participate in the RFP, confirming their interest in purchasing CNG vehicles for use in their states.
With an estimated 123,000 CNG vehicles on the nation's roads and 1,000 fueling stations, the Governors are hoping this expression of interest and intent will overcome current obstacles, notably limited refueling availability and consumer demand, that is preventing automakers from producing more CNG vehicles.
"The objective behind our efforts is simple," Gov. Fallin said. "We want auto manufacturers to know states mean business and are strongly committed to the use of CNG vehicles in state fleets so more vehicles can become available to consumers."
"By incorporating more CNG vehicles into our state fleets, we can save tax dollars by reducing the amount we spend on fuel," she continued. "We can also support the use of an abundant, American-made energy source that will help create jobs, strengthen tax revenue bases at the state level, improve the environment, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil."
The meeting was open to the public, providing an overview of the RFP and an open-forum for dealers and automakers with questions for the state representatives.
The multi-state call to action is in response to a rule under consideration by the EPA that would put CNG vehicles at a competitive disadvantage with other alternative fuels. The Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards currently under consideration heavily favor electric cars, discouraging automakers from producing CNG vehicles and making for an uneven playing field for other fuel technologies.
The overall response from participants was overwhelmingly positive, according to Aaron Cooper of Governor Fallin's staff. Personnel from Ford, GM, Chrysler and Honda were in attendance and one was heard to refer to the event as "absolutely awesome."
"Ford has been a leader in alternative fuel technologies for quite some time," said Stephanie Lundberg, of Ford's government affairs office. "We hope the marketplace for CNG and other technologies continues to grow and are encouraged by the efforts of Governor Fallin, Governor Hickenlooper and their public sector partners to help make them more mainstream."
