Location: Wheat Health, Genetics, and Quality Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
Stripe rust is one of the most important diseases of wheat, causing significant crop losses every year throughout the world. Stripe rust of barley can cause significant yield loss in the western U.S. The long-term goal of this project is to reduce losses in wheat and barley yield and quality caused by stripe rust and assure stable, sustainable production while protecting the environment. Significant progress has been made in recent years in understanding virulence compositions of the pathogen population, identification of new sources of resistance, disease forecasting, and control of the disease using fungicides in recent years. However, more research is needed to monitor dynamic changes of virulent races, obtain better knowledge of resistance genes in elite germplasm, to identify more genes for effective resistance, and to develop molecular markers for use in the efficient incorporation of new genes into wheat and barley cultivars. For the next five years, we will conduct research to achieve the following objectives: 1). Use molecular markers and host plant responses to characterize and differentiate current and emergent virulent races of the stripe rust pathogens of wheat and barley. 2). Determine the distribution, nature, and effectiveness of host plant resistance genes amongst elite wheat and barley germplasm. 3). Identify and determine linkage relationships of new major and minor stripe rust resistance genes, and develop molecular markers for application in wheat and barley breeding efforts. Accomplishment of these objectives will lead to improved knowledge of the disease epidemiology, more resistance genes and germplasm, and more effective technology to achieve sustainable control of stripe rust.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
Rust survey will be conducted in commercial fields, monitoring nurseries, trap plots, and experimental plots of wheat and barley, as well as wild grasses, during the plant growing-season. Rust samples will be collected by collaborators and us during rust survey. Stripe rust samples will be tested in our laboratory for race identification. New races will be tested on genetic stocks, breeding lines, and commercial cultivars to determine their danger potential. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers will be used to characterize races and populations of the stripe rust pathogens. All germplasm and breeding nurseries of wheat and barley will be evaluated in two locations: Pullman (eastern Washington) and Mt. Vernon (western Washington) under natural infection of the stripe rust pathogens. Uniform regional nurseries and cultivar monitoring nurseries, which include currently grown cultivars and advanced breeding lines from all U.S. regions and important stripe rust resistance stocks, will be tested with selected races at seedling stage under the low temperature profile (4-20C) and at adult-plant stage under the high temperature profile (10-30C) to determine race-specific all-stage resistance and/or non-race-specific high-temperature adult-plant resistance in wheat and barley germplasm. Stripe rust resistance genes in elite germplasm will be determined or postulated by testing elite lines, together with single resistance gene lines, with a series of races that will be selected to distinguish important genes; analyzing the pedigrees of the elite lines; testing elite lines, together with known gene lines, with molecular markers associated with particular genes; and conducting genetic studies to identify and map new genes. To identify and map new genes for effective resistance to stripe rust in wheat. Crosses have been made with resistant germplasm lines with a susceptible line. The recombinant inbred lines of these crosses will be phenotyped for stripe rust resistance in fields and also in the greenhouse with selected races and genotyped with resistance gene analog polymorphism (RGAP), SSR, and SNP markers. The phenotypic and genotypic data will be used to map the resistance gene(s) or QTL in each cross. New genes will be identified based on their resistant types, reactions to various races, and chromosomal locations in comparison with previously reported genes.
3. Progress Report:
Progress made in the FY 2012 prior to the current project 5348-22000-015-00D initiated in March 2012 was covered in the final report for the previous project 5348-22000-014-00D which was terminated in March 2012. The progress made after March 2012 is covered in this report. Under objective 1A, we conducted intensive field surveys for monitoring stripe rust and other diseases since early spring, 2012. Rust forecasts and updates were sent to growers and the cereal crop research community. Recommendations for appropriate control measures were provided to growers as the season was progressing. As a result, the stripe rust epidemic with a potential to cause yield losses up to 40% on susceptible cultivars or up to 10% on average on all commercially grown cultivars was effectively controlled in the Pacific Northwest. We collected or received more than 500 stripe rust samples from more than 20 states. Race identification has been completed for about 300 samples. Under objective 1B, DNA was extracted for the 2011 isolates and also for more than 200 isolates of 2012. Molecular markers developed in our program have been used to characterize the isolates, and so far, about five markers are completed for the 2011 isolates. Experiments for molecular characterization of historical races in the US, together with stripe rust collections from more than 10 other countries were completed. The results revealed uniqueness and similarities between the US populations and those of other countries. We have produced more than 40 progeny isolates from a wheat stripe rust isolate through sexual reproduction on barberry and characterized them using virulence and marker tests to determine genetics of stripe rust virulence. Under objective 2, we evaluated more than 18,000 wheat and 5,000 barley lines for stripe rust resistance in the fields. We have completed data collections for all of the nurseries. Some of the nurseries were also tested in the greenhouse with selected stripe rust races. The field and greenhouse data will be used to determine if the individual lines have resistance and what types of resistance. The results will be used by breeding programs to eliminate susceptible lines, improve resistance, and release new resistant cultivars. Under objective 3, we made more than 10 crosses and tested advanced generations of four crosses for mapping new genes for stripe rust resistance in wheat. We have officially named a new gene, Yr53, in durum wheat germplasm 'PI 480148' from Ethiopia. We completed studies to identify and map two new genes in durum wheat genotypes 'PI 331260' and 'PI 480016'. All of these genes were transferred into a common wheat background and molecular markers tightly linked to the genes were identified. In 2012, we have grown more than 500 lines developed from more than 20 crosses to select lines with different resistance genes. The genes, markers, and better plant type lines will be useful for breeding program to develop stripe rust resistant cultivars.
4. Accomplishments
1. Identified three new genes for stripe rust resistance in durum wheat and transferred the genes into common wheat. Growing resistant cultivars is the most effective, economical, and environmentally friendly approach for control of stripe rust, but new genes for effective resistance are needed to diversifying the resistance sources used in breeding programs to improve the durability of resistance in commercial cultivars. In 2012, ARS scientists from Pullman, WA, officially named Yr53, a new gene for effective all-stage resistance to stripe rust in durum wheat germplasm 'PI 480148' from Ethiopia, and identified and mapped two new genes in durum wheat genotypes 'PI 331260' and 'PI 480016' to the short arm of wheat chromosome 1B. All of these genes were transferred into a common wheat background and molecular markers tightly linked to the genes were identified. These new genes, associated molecular markers, and better common wheat lines carrying these genes are useful for breeding programs developing stripe rust resistant cultivars.
2. Evaluated wheat and barley germplasms and breeding lines for resistance to stripe rust. For better control of cereal rusts, it is critical to identify more germplasms and to select breeding lines of wheat and barley for resistance. During the 2012 growing season, ARS scientists from Pullman, WA, evaluated more than 18,000 wheat and 5,000 barley lines for resistance to stripe rust in the field and hundreds were also tested in the greenhouse with selected stripe rust races. From the tests, resistant germplasms were selected for further characterizing the resistance types and identifying resistance genes. The data will be used by breeding programs to select lines for releasing new cultivars with effective resistance to stripe rust.
3. Found answers for why barberry does not play an important role in stripe rust in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Barberry has been reported to be infected by, and act as an alternate host for, the wheat stripe rust fungus under greenhouse conditions. Its role as an alternate host for the pathogen under natural conditions was not clear. ARS scientists from Pullman, WA, completed various experiments, including inoculating wheat with rust samples from barberry plants collected in the PNW, testing the samples with molecular markers distinguishing stripe rust from stem rust, determining conditions needed for the stripe rust fungus to infect barberry, and survival rates of the stripe rust fungus in comparison with the stem rust fungus. The results showed that the kind of spores from stripe rust that infect barberry cannot survive the winter under the conditions that occur in the PNW and that the infection of barberry leaves requires a minimum of 40 hours of dew formation, a weather condition that rarely occurs in the eastern PNW where barberry plants grow. These results improved our understanding of the differences in the role of barberry in the stripe rust and stem rust disease cycles; information useful to the management of these diseases.
4. Characterized virulence and molecular variations of international stripe rust collections. Wheat stripe rust occurs in many countries, but there was not much information on virulence and genetic variations on a global scale. In 2012, ARS scientists from Pullman, WA, completed a study to characterize stripe rust collections from 13 countries using virulence tests and molecular markers. Virulence to 13 resistance genes and 14 US differential wheat varieties was found in all 13 foreign countries, but also two wheat genes effective against races in all countries were identified. Comparisons using molecular markers revealed three major genetic groups, and common and unique virulence and genetic groups among countries were found. This information increases our understanding of virulence and genetic variation of the wheat stripe rust pathogen and should be useful to efforts to control the disease with stripe rust resistance throughout the world.
5. Identified races spread from the west to the east of the US. The stripe rust fungi evolve to new races and populations that damage previously resistant cultivars. To monitor the pathogen virulence changes, ARS scientists from Pullman, WA, conducted research to determined races using the wheat and barley differential varieties. In 2012, two races, PSTv-11 and PSTv-14, previously found only in the western US, were found in east of the Rocky Mountains. This result is significant as it indicates that stripe rust races can spread from the western US to the eastern US. Certain genes, such as Yr10 and YrTye, which previously were effective in the eastern US, may no longer be effective. These findings suggest that breeding programs in the eastern US should include screening for resistance to races occurring in the western US.
6. Tested fungicides for control of stripe rust. Although stripe rust can be effectively controlled by growing resistant cultivars, fungicides are still needed for reducing damage in fields grown with cultivars without an adequate level of resistance. During the 2012 growing season, ARS scientists from Pullman, WA, tested 30 fungicide treatments, including some new chemicals, for control of stripe rust. The efficacies, rates and timing of the chemicals for stripe rust control were determined. The results will be useful for the chemical developers to register new fungicides and for growers to use in disease management.

You turned red, then blue, and fell out.
I pounded your chest with porcelain fists,
I tried
To restart your heart for the fortieth time.
But I could see that this time you were gone.
I could not get you back again.
Why? Why, why?
Where do you go?
Losing a lover again and again,
Watching you fall away and come back
Is almost more than I can stand.
Faces empty, arms are still.
Porcelain fists, porcelain heart.

Happy Holiday Planning
We are a fun loving family of 5 from Canada who love to escape our cold Canadian winters to enjoy the sunshine in Arizona.
TAMMY WATSON purchased this house in 2012
We chose this area because of all the amazing amenities it had at our fingertips. We love the slower paced atmosphere and amazing people. It is a bonus to also be able to fly into such a great small airport like Mesa Gateway Airport. Plus we are a short drive away from great shopping, sporting events and tourist attractions...if we can take time away from the pool!
We love the TENNIS Courts here! Along with the golf, swimming, parks, trails, fishing, and more. PLus the local restaurants are some of the best we've been!~ Plus the sunshines everyday!
The home was spacious, clean, and open to a kitchen well supplied with gadgets and pans for cooking meals. An outdoor area offered shade during the afternoon and tables and chairs for reading, playing games, and, of course, eating. All of the bedrooms featured comfortable mattresses. We enjoyed our stay and recommend this house to anyone interested in a.perfect vacation rental home. The best part for us was the swimming pool, which provided hours of air mattress relaxation. If we had questions or concerns, Tammy was always available and prompt to respond.
Thanks so much for letting us use your holiday house, the 4 of us and our little dog Cookie had a great time together. Home was perfect and has all the ameneties. Weather was not the best but the heated pool made it all so enjoyable. Happy New Year!
Lovely home, kid friendly no knick nacks to break and no clutter. Warm decor and very comfortable rooms, beds, and furnishings. The pool was great, warm even in the late evenings, the kids enjoyed it very much and the three year old perfected her swimming. The park across the street was always fun and the rabbits and road runners there only added to my enjoyment and thrilled the kids. They even caught a desert toad to examine and then released. A great time was has by all of us. I really liked having my dog with me so that was a plus. Thanks for the use of your home. We had a great time as my niece was having her fourth baby, a baby boy. Again thanks so very much.
This is the perfect vacation rental for all ages. We stayed with our three children aged 9, 7 and 5. This is the most relaxing way to spend a vacation with a young family with the pool right there in the backyard. The pool was bigger than the pictures. Nice gradual walk in and shallow area, as well as deeper area. House was exactly as represented. Very much appreciated the various toiletries, cleaners and kitchen supplies and condiments that were provided. We almost never saw a bug. They obviously have pest control well under control. The backyard felt extremely private and the community in general was extremely quiet. Yard was well kept. The home owners were very good to deal with. It was a good hour drive from Phoenix, but we drove in a few times for various sporting events and shopping. Grocery, restaurants, Walmart etc. nearby.
We had a great time here with our three sons, their wives, and our grandchildren. The pool was particularly enjoyable! San Tan Valley was farther out than I had realized, but that may actually have helped us spend more time together as a family!
Not sure what I enjoyed more, the cool air conditioned, stylish home or the relaxing heated pool and landscaped backyard! Such an easy rental to bring our family too, the kids had plenty of room to play without being underfoot and the adults were able to relax in peace and quiet.
There is a great covered outdoor eating area which make any hot days easy for people who love the heat but prefer to be out of the sun. I also really appreciated all the suggestions and information provided by the hosts, our favourite was definitely the Olive Mill!
Can't wait to book our next family holiday here!
A wide variety of world class golf courses within 20 minutes or closer!

A Locust Grove Elementary teacher charged with driving under the influence has been fired by Oldham County Schools.
Laura Munson, 52, a former gym teacher at the school, had her employment officially terminated on Tuesday. Her termination and unpaid suspension from Sept. 30 through her termination date were approved at Monday night's school board meeting.
Munson has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Superintendent Will Wells declined to comment on the decision at the school board meeting.
A ten-year-old child remains in criticial condition following a car accident Friday night.
According to La Grange Police, shortly after 7:30 p.m. Friday the child was crossing the road in front of the La Grange Community Center on West Jefferson Street when he was hit by a Dodge Neon. The driver, who's name was not released by the police, stated she was unable to avoid a collision and struck the juvenile with the front of her car.
Five men charged with crimes ranging from conspiracy to commit murder to gang activity and drug possession are having their cases sent to a grand jury.
The five are half of a group of eight individuals arrested more than two weeks ago in La Grange and alleged to be involved with the Southside Crips gang.
Four individuals had their cases referred to a grand jury for possible indictment after a preliminary hearing on Wednesday. Those four are Thomas L. Wenz, 22, of Shelbyville and Roger D. Wilson, 19, Brandon L. Davis, 18, and Felix A. Myers, 20, all of La Grange.
When students from the county schools meet on a football field, it's usually about competition. Last Wednesday was different.
"This is a day when they lay down their rivalries and come together in Jesus' name," said Steve Wigginton, area director of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA).
With state funding for schools lagging behind needs, one local elementary school is coming up with a creative way to fund one of its programs.
Locust Grove Elementary will host a massive recycling opportunity on Nov. 9, America Recycles Day, to help fund its Leader in Me program.
The school is partnering with ECS Refining to take unused electronics and recycle them. For every pound of electronic equipment the school brings in, they will receive a nickel for their program.
Deadlines for those hoping to finish up their GED are rapidly approaching before the test changes and progress is lost.
The test for the GED changes roughly every 10 years and a new test will be implemented in January, Suzette Ertel, director of Oldham County Adult and Community Education said.
To brace for those changes, Ertel's department is holding an "Official Practice Test (OPT) blitz" on Nov. 1 to help potential GED test takers squared away from the last test in December before the new one takes effect.
The South Oldham Rotary Club and Apple Patch hosted a joint cookout at the Apple Patch Apex facility for Apple Patch clients, staff and board members, as well as South Oldham Rotarians.
Apple Patch Executive Director and South Oldham Rotarian Arthur Avitabile manned the grill for the hungry crowd.
"The cookout went really, really well from our point of view. Our clients enjoyed it very much and the staff were emailing each other and talking about how nice it was." Avitablie said.
As a parent, Nadia Miller understands wanting to support a child with some school pride, be it a t-shirt, car flag or a bleacher seat.
And she also understands that currently, Oldham County doesn't have a great wealth of places to buy spirit stuff for Oldham County school teams.
Which is why Miller is opening Oldham County Sportswear in Crestwood on Nov. 1.
"These parents want to see something that is actually for their school," Miller said.
In an effort to help the community's most disadvantaged citizens pay heating bills during the winter months, Kentucky Utilities Company announced that – retroactively effective Oct. 1 through March 31, 2014 – it will match $2 for every $1 donated by residential customers to Wintercare, the utility's primary heating assistance program.
For the six million children with food allergies, haunted houses and spooky costumes aren't the only scary parts of Halloween. An allergic reaction from sweet treats can be frightening for both kids and their parents alike.
Food allergies are on the rise, and traditional Halloween candy often contains peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, egg and soy. These are all common triggers of a serious reaction known medically as "anaphylaxis."

'It should be me thanking you, Melissa,' Lazarus replied softly, tilting her head up a little, bending down to brush his lips against hers. 'You brought the music back into my life. All I could ever play before was old. Nothing new, not until you arrived.
'You don't need to thank me,' Melissa smiled, gently tightening her grip on his hand.
'I do, though.' He returned he smile, his eyes gleaming brightly.
'No you don't. Staying with me is thanks enough,' she replied, pulling him in close, inhaling. He had bought a new aftershave, self conscious of his dog odour. The mix of spices drifted around him enticingly. He didn't know how to reply, so he remained silent, putting a hand on her waist and holding her against him.
'I heard we're getting a new neighbour,' Lazarus commented after a while. He had let his thoughts drift, and he wondered what poor, misfortunate soul would be moving into the block of grimy, foul apartments.
'Hmm, I heard. Poor soul. Dingy flats and a werewolf and vampire for neighbours.' She smiled and Lazarus pulled away.
'He'll be fine,' Lazarus said dubiously, hardly daring to believe his own words.
'Yeah, he will be safe. Don't drink from innocents.' She giggled and Lazarus forced a smile.
'I wonder who it is.' he muttered, then shook his head. 'C'mon you, let's go to bed. I'm tired.' He stifled a yawn and got up. Melissa looked out the window and saw the sun rising over the town. She smiled a little as she thought about all the hyperactive children waiting impatiently for their presents.
'Okay, it's morning soon anyway,' she followed him to the bedroom, picking up her lace gown. Lazarus left the room, shutting the door to let her change in privacy. She smiled to herself. Lazarus had been the perfect gentleman, never laying a hand wrong. She was fairly certain he had stopped drinking, too, though if he was, he hid it well.
As he brushed his teeth, Lazarus looked at himself in the mirror. His face had lost the permanently tired look it had once held and he began to remember why people had loved him so much so long ago. A beautiful, talented young man – who wouldn't love someone like that? He sighed and rinsed his mouth out, traipsing back into the bedroom when Melissa was done changing. They fell asleep in each other's arms within minutes, small smiles on both their faces.
Knock, knock, knock! Lazarus was ripped from his sleep by the thumping at his door. Groggily he got up, pulling on a pair of jeans before stumbling over to the door.
'Hello?' His voice cracked as he opened the door and he covered his mouth as he yawned. Melissa had followed him out, wrapping herself in a satin dressing gown. Lazarus pulled the door open a little more, rubbing his eyes as he looked at the man standing outside their door. 'Oh, sorry, did I interrupt at a bad time?' the man asked, an amused smile on his face. Lazarus was numb. That face... it looked like... Gabriel? He blinked and tried to stop staring, but the resemblance was undeniable. Melissa glanced at Lazarus, concern in her eyes, before smiling at the man. Realising that Lazarus wasn't about to say anything useful, she spoke.
'Hi. You must be the new neighbour? I'm Melissa, this is... Lazarus.' She looked at him, irritated at his rude gawping and nudged him.
'Sorry. Hi.' Lazarus stuttered, tearing his eyes off the man.
'I'm Connor,' the man laughed, 'and yeah. I'm the new neighbour. Just thought I'd... say hi, but I think I woke you up.'
'It's fine, nice to meet you, Connor.' She flashed him a smile, he brilliant features dazzling him. Lazarus is a lucky, lucky man, Connor thought to himself.
'I see Lazarus is a lucky man, eh?' he returned Melissa's smile with a cheeky grin.
Melissa sighed; 'I'm lucky to have him too.' Her smile became a politely forced one. Humans, they only see one thing, she thought. She glanced at him and saw that he was gazing at the floor, a strange expression on his face.
'Sorry, I should really have a shower. Excuse me.' Lazarus said, nodding at Connor, pecking Melissa on the cheek. Connor shifted uncomfortably.
'Well it's nice to know that not everyone in this block is so unfriendly. I'll maybe see you around, I should go.'
'Yeah, okay. See you around,' Melissa beamed at him again and shut the door when he had turned to leave. She whirled around and faced the bathroom door, angrily shouting over the sound of the shower running inside. 'Lazarus Thorn! That was so rude! Open the door!' she thumped on the thin wood. He didn't answer. She tried the door handle.
Lazarus was sat on the edge of the bath, his face in his hands, the water running behind him. He swore inwardly, ignoring Melissa. He let himself fall back into the bath with a thud, sitting under the water, half dressed. He barely noticed as the shower soaked through his jeans, making them cling to him uncomfortably. He didn't look up as the door opened.
'Lazarus!' Melissa's eyes widened as she took in his blank face. She turned the water off and sat on the side of the bath. 'What is wrong with you?' she sighed. He took a moment to respond, looking up, his mouth open forming a small "O".
'I... it's... it's him!' was all he could say.
'Who?' she reached over, brushing his wet hair out of his face. His face twisted and he pushed her hand away. She withdrew, stung.
'Gabriel!' he cried, letting tears mingle with the water from the shower.

|[jira] [Commented] (OPENJPA-2507) Weird EmptyStackException in CriteriaQueryImpl
|Tue, 03 Jun 2014 12:05:02 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2507?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14016419#comment-14016419 ] Thomas Darimont commented on OPENJPA-2507: ------------------------------------------ Hello, I just had a look at this and I think a solution that fixes this issue. I noticed by debugging the provided example app that an instance of {{org.apache.openjpa.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQueryImpl}} is shared between multiple instances of {{org.apache.openjpa.jdbc.kernel.JDBCStoreQuery}}. In {{CriteriaQueryImpl}} the {{_contexts}} field is read and written by multiple threads. I think the problem lies in {{org.apache.openjpa.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQueryImpl.getQueryExpressions(ExpressionFactory)}}: {code:java} QueryExpressions getQueryExpressions(ExpressionFactory factory) { _contexts = new Stack<Context>(); Context context = new Context(null, null, null); _contexts.push(context); return new CriteriaExpressionBuilder().getQueryExpressions(factory, this); } {code} Since the (shared) {{_context}} field is modified and read by multiple threads this causes the spurious NPE / EmptyStackExceptions to appear. One (relatively easy) way to solve this would be to just wrap the {{_context}} in a {{ThreadLocal}} - I added a patch file that does exactly that. Note that we remove the stored ThreadLocal value when we leave {{getQueryExpressions}} With this fixed I could run the provided example app without any problems. This patch would work for openjpa 2.3.0 as well as 2.4.0. I tested this with openjpa 2.3.0 directly. I created the patch from the latest svn head for 2.4.0. Cheers, Thomas > Weird EmptyStackException in CriteriaQueryImpl > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: OPENJPA-2507 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2507 > Project: OpenJPA > Issue Type: Bug > Components: criteria > Affects Versions: 2.2.0, 2.3.0 > Environment: openjpa 2.2.0 & 2.3.0, spring-data-jpa up to 1.4.2 > Reporter: Ioannis Alexandrakis > Priority: Minor > Labels: criteria_api, openjpa > Attachments: exceptions.txt, openjpa-exception-demo.zip > > > Using spring-data-jpa with openjpa, I sometimes encounter a strange error (not all the times, but under heavy load it makes its appearance, sparsely though): > .... > Caused by: java.util.EmptyStackException > at java.util.Stack.peek(Stack.java:<arbitrary line>) > at org.apache.openjpa.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQueryImpl.ctx(CriteriaQueryImpl.java:<arbitrary line> > .... > I do not know which behaviour triggers it, however I think it would be an improvement to change (I did not know where exactly to file it, because it is both an improvement and a bug in my opinion), in org.apache.openjpa.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQueryImpl, method: Context ctx(), this: > return _contexts == null || _contexts.isEmpty() ? null : _contexts.peek(); > to something like this: > try { > return _contexts == null || _contexts.isEmpty() ? null : _contexts.peek(); > } catch (EmptyStackException e) { > return null; > } > , in order to prevent a case where multiple threads modify the "_contexts" between the evaluation of the inline "if". > I am not able to reproduce it all the time, thus I can't create a useful test, neither have I created a patch due to the simplicity of the 'fix'.

text: Culture 29 March 2012 The NS Recommends: Books Sign up for our weekly email * Evolution and Belief: Confessions of a Religious Paleontologist Robert J AsherCambridge University Press, 324pp, £15.99 Robert Asher was raised in a Presbyterian family in upstate New York. He still regularly attends Anglican church services. He is also a palaeontologist. But there is no "contradiction", he argues, "between my profession as an evolutionary scientist and my belief in God" . Everything, for Asher, turns on the claim that his belief in the existence of a deity is "rational" even if it isn't scientific. Whether one accepts, as he does, that "science is a subset of rationality" and all that follows from that, this book is a very useful contribution to the often sterile debate about the relationship between science and religion. Besieged: Life Under Fire on a Sarajevo Street Barbara DemickGranta, 240pp, £9.99 A first edition of this book, a record of the two years Demick spent in Sarajevo as a correspondent for the Philadelphia Inquirer during the Bosnian war, was published in 1996 under the title Logavina Street: Life and Death in a Sarajevo Neighbourhood. This was a vivid and often searing record of the lives of the inhabitants of a single street in a capital city under siege from Serb snipers and artillery fire. In this updated version, released on the 20th anniversary of the start of the siege of the Bosnian capital in 1992, Demick returns to Logavina Street and finds that the war didn't destroy Sarajevo's distinctive multi-ethnic "magic".

Alma Rosa Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2008
Pinot Noir from Sta. Rita Hills, Santa Barbara, Central Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
Positively brimming with fruity aromatics and flavors, we find this wine (made from grapes from our certified organic estate vineyards) dominated by a mix of fresh crushed berries and dark cherries, shot through with a floral-spice element and a beet-root-meets-cola essence. The wine showcases the dark rich side of Pinot Noir and already has a supple smooth texture with clean acidity. We'd suggest roasts and grilled meats as accompaniments; barbeque shrimp with grits; pan-roasted salmon filets, etc!
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "While the fruit flavors have ripened to dark cherry and currants, there's still a transparency to the wine, a rosy briskness that lightens the richness. The sandy tannins have a dark, cola-like tone. For roast duck."
Alma Rosa Winery
Richard Sanford came to the Santa Ynez Valley 40 years ago with the desire to create wines that would rival the best of France. First to recognize the potential of the Santa Rita Hills (now an officially accredited American Viticultural Area as Sta. Rita Hills), and first to plant Pinot Noir vines there, Richard is a pioneer with a well established reputation for excellence in winemaking.
Working in partnership for more than 30 years, Thekla and Richard Sanford founded multiple, successful winegrowing enterprises. Their latest venture, Alma Rosa Winery & Vineyards, represents the culmination of a lifetime's experience – an enterprise dedicated to creating high quality wines and setting a benchmark for organic farming, sustainable agriculture methods, and environment-friendly commerce.

About Central CoastView a map of Central Coast wineries
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Large Intestine Meridian, point #4 of 20: LI4, Hegu
This point is located on the back side of the hand between the thumb and first finger. The dominant uses are to relieve pain and to treat constipation or other bowel disorders. However, this point is also utilized in the treatment of inflammatory and feverish diseases which have symptoms in the throat and head, because the large intestine meridian runs from the hand to the face. Another key point on this meridian is LI11 (Quchi), located at the elbow. It is used for many upper body disorders, such as sore throat, eye pain, lymphatic swellings, rashes, and difficulty moving the arms, and for intestinal disorders, such as diarrhea and intestinal cramping.
Lung Meridian, point #7 of 11: LU7, Lieque
This point is located above the wrist on the inside of the arm. It is used to treat several disorders of the upper body, including headache, neck stiffness, cough, asthma, sore throat, facial paralysis, and wrist problems.
Stomach Meridian, point #36 of 45: ST36, Zusanli
This point is located on the front of the leg, just below the knee. It is helpful for digestive disorders, including nausea, vomiting, gastralgia, and abdominal distention, and also for general weakness. Recently, numerous clinical trials have been conducted with treatment of this point alone, demonstrating positive effects in treating anemia, immune deficiency, fatigue, and numerous diseases.
Spleen Meridian, point #6 of 21: SP6, Sanyinjiao
This point is located on the inner side of the leg just above the ankle. Although it is on the spleen meridian, which generally influences the digestive system, this point is also valuable for treating hormonal disorders (irregular menstruation, impotence) and immune disorders. Another key point on this meridian is SP9 (Yinlingquan), located just below the knee. It is used in the treatment of urinary diseases, especially with fluid retention, abdominal and back pain, and female reproductive system disorders.
Gallbladder Meridian, point #20 of 44: GB20, Fengchi
This point is located at the base of the skull where it joins the neck in back. It used in the treatment of acute disorders, such as common cold, influenza, headache, neck pain, and fever. In addition, it lowers blood pressure and relaxes tension in the area of the eyes. Another key point on this meridian is GB34 (Yanglingquan), located on the outer side of the knee, and used for treating a wide range of injuries and disorders of the muscles and tendons.
Liver Meridian, point #3 of 14: LV3, Taichong
The point is located on the top of the foot, between the first and second toes. It is used to balance emotional energy, to regulate menstruation, to reduce tension and pain in the chest, treat eye disorders, alleviate headaches, and reduce high blood pressure. The adjacent point in the meridian, LV2 (Xingjian), at the webbing between the toes, is also considered quite important and is frequently needled along with LV3; it has similar uses, but is also incorporated into the treatment of lower abdominal disorders, such as urinary problems.
Pericardium Meridian, point #6 of 9: PC6, Neiguan
This point is located on the inner arm, just above the wrist. Like other points on this meridian, it is useful for cardiac disorders, such as heart palpitation and angina pectoris. It is also useful for nausea, vomiting, spasms, and convulsions.

Small Intestine Meridian, point #3 of 19: SI3, Houxi
This point is located on the side of the hand, below the little finger. It is used for treating mental disorders, stiffness and pain in the neck, chest, and lumbar region, seizures, night sweats, and fevers.
Governing Vessel, point #20 of 28: GV20, Baihui
This point is located at the top of the head. It is traditionally applied in the treatment of various mental disorders, and for problems that occur in the head: headache, vertigo, ringing in the ears, nasal obstruction, difficulty with speech, etc. It is also used to treat prolapse, such as that of the rectum and uterus.

Conception Vessel, point #4 of 24: CV4, Guanyuan
This point is located a little below the navel. It is used for all types of lower abdominal disorders, including urination problems, hernia, menstrual disorders, gynecological infections, postpartum bleeding, diarrhea, rectal prolapse, etc. Another important point on this vessel is CV6 (Qihai), half way between CV4 and the navel. The applications are similar, but it is especially used in cases of accompanying fatigue.
Examples of Combining These Points to Produce an Effective Treatment
In the book Modern Clinic Necessities for Acupuncture and Moxibustion (by Zhang Ren and Dong Zhi Lin), several treatment strategies are outlined. For menopausal syndrome, the main points recommended are GV20 and GV14, CV4, BL23, HT7, SP6 and ST36; secondary points include PC6, LV3, and KI3. For bedwetting at night among young children, recommended points include CV4, BL23 and SP6; secondary points include LU7, KI3, CV6, and ST36. For hayfever, recommended points include GB20, LI4, and ST36; secondary points include GV14, LU7, LI11, and SP6. In her book Insights of a Senior Acupuncturist, Miriam Lee describes a combination of points that have wide application: ST36, SP6, LI4, LI11, and LU7. This set of points, with slight adjustments (e.g., leaving out one or two, perhaps adding or substituting one or two) is shown to be helpful for the majority of common complaints seen in the Western acupuncture clinic. A popular treatment for injury and stress is to needle the "four gates," the right and left side points LV3 (feet) and LI4 (hands), which opens circulation throughout the meridians.

|Reviews for Lady Luck
| killing u with umbrellas chapter 11 . 1/31/2012
loved it.
| justarandomNightWorldfan chapter 11 . 10/22/2010
Awwwwwww! That was a good ending! So Kawaii! I only wish that it continued... oh well. Thank you for writing this, it was really good!
| The I chapter 11 . 5/2/2007
You know, I think this is my favourite YGO fanfic. I just love everything about it: The pairing, the one-of-a-kind plot, your writing-tecnique, the way you write the characters, making them completely IC (even Duke "Dara" Devlin), the fact that YOU are the author (because, let's face it, you're the best fanfiction author in YGO-verse fanfiction).
I have read this fic at least four times, and all I can say is: Wow.
Or, to quote the song I was listening to while reading: You're simply the best!
| Intoxicated Biscuit chapter 2 . 6/23/2005
This is one of the funniest, most unique stories I've ever read. I love it!
| Sapphire Dragons chapter 11 . 6/12/2005
Aw! *squeeps* That was excellent!
| gothy wolfie chapter 11 . 4/3/2005
That was so good.
P.S. I like the way Tristan thinks..
| lily22 chapter 3 . 1/29/2005
I love this line: It just figured that right after he'd come to terms with the fact that he was apparently bisexual…it turned out he was actually still straight.
It says CHASESHIPPING clearly but not blatantly. And it amused a lot. Er. I'll shut up and keep reading now, shall I?
| dawn chapter 11 . 10/15/2004
what a great story! you rock! i was sad to see it end but it finished in a perfect spot. you are a great author and i can't wait to see more of your work!

Today, I was in a market in France, and went to ask the seller for some potatoes. I speak fluent French, but I got flustered and instead of saying "pomme de terre", which is the French for potato, I said "pomme de merde". I literally asked for an "apple of shit". FML
Today, I got written up at work for clocking back in from lunch early. Yesterday I got a verbal warning for coming back late. I'm scared to go to lunch at all now. FML
Today, I went on a 70-mile drive to the next town over to finally meet this beautiful girl I had talked to online. To my surprise, she looked exactly how she did in her pictures, minus the ring on her finger and the fiancé who wanted to punch me in the face. FML
Today, like every day since I was born, my name is Yarenis, pronounced "ja-ra-nees. For some reason, everybody pronounce it "your anus". FML
