The culminating activity of the teacher education programs is student teaching. Having satisfied the prerequisites for student teaching courses, candidates are assigned to placements or classrooms in public schools for the first or second semester of their senior year. They are placed based on the availability of qualified cooperating teachers in their subject area and the willingness of schools to affiliate with BU (schools used to date).
A student teaching semester is designed to ensure students have a variety of experiences. Eligibility for student teaching will be determined during the scheduling period prior to the student teaching semester. Student teaching eligibility is contingent upon:
- Completion of the admission to teacher education process
- Possession of an overall cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher
- A grade of C or better in all professional education and specialty courses, and appropriate methods courses specified by each teacher education certification program. (The grade of C- (minus) does not meet this criterion)
- Continuation of professional liability insurance. The policy shall be a minimum of $1,000,000 per claim and $3,000,000 aggregate. This policy must remain in full force and effect for the duration of the practicum or student teaching assignment
- Obtain current background clearances: ACT 34 (PA Request for Criminal Record Check), ACT 151 (PA Child Abuse History Clearance), ACT 114 (FBI Federal Criminal History Record — requires fingerprinting) and Act 24 Arrest/Conviction Report and Certification Form (Student Teaching Eligibility)
- Obtainment of results of a tuberculosis screening (administered the semester prior to the student teaching semester) that will be valid throughout the student teaching semester
- Submission of test scores that prove all necessary Praxis II tests have been attempted
To assess competency in student teaching, all teacher education candidates must have:
- Written evaluations by cooperating teachers
- Written evaluations by univeristy supervisors
- Grades of C or better (The grade of C- (minus) does not satisfy this criterion)
- Two evaluations during student teaching using the PDE430 form: Pennsylvania Statewide Evaluation Form for Student Professional Knowledge and Practice, with satisfactory or above ratings
Teacher education students may not complete student teaching in any school district they attended. Business education and special education student teaching assignments are located within an approximate 50-mile radius of Bloomsburg. The majority of student teachers in early childhood, elementary, and secondary education programs are placed within a 35-mile radius of BU, with some placed in Lehigh, Bucks, and Montgomery county areas and the School District of Philadelphia. As per affiliation agreements, the school district will provide a cooperating teacher who must meet the following criteria, as defined by the Pennsylvania Department of Education:
- At least three years of teaching experience, one year of which has been in the district to which the teacher candidate is assigned
- A teaching assignment appropriate to the teacher candidate's area of certification
- Completion of cooperating teacher education, which includes review of the Student Teaching Handbook and attendance at cooperating teacher workshops. For students who are in the MS in Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing program, please review the DHOH Student Teaching Handbook.

text: Gaithersburg, Md., June 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- GeneDx, one of the world's foremost genetic testing laboratories and a subsidiary of Bio-Reference Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: BRLI) announced today its intention to launch a suite of comprehensive genetic tests for inherited cancers including BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, given the Supreme Court's ruling in the Association for Molecular Pathology vs. Myriad Genetics case. GeneDx, which was the first commercial laboratory to utilize next generation sequencing technologies to answer meaningful clinical questions in cardiology, neurology, ophthalmology, among other clinical areas, will now bring its expertise and reputation for service to inherited cancers and will offer a 27-gene panel for breast and ovarian cancers. GeneDx will also provide next generation sequencing based multi-gene panels for gastrointestinal and colorectal cancers, pancreatic cancer, endometrial cancer and renal cell carcinoma. The Company has indicated that it intends to introduce all of these panels as early as August 1, 2013. According to Sherri Bale, Ph.D., a founder and the Managing Director of GeneDx, "These panels will provide an efficient and cost-effective approach to identifying the genetic basis of inherited cancer. For breast/ovarian cancer particularly, it will be a more sensitive approach than testing only the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes alone. Over the past decade, research has identified many genes associated with hereditary cancers. Some of these genes play a role in more than one type of cancer, and in most types of cancer several genes may be characterized as causative. Determining which genes and the order in which to test them can be complex, expensive and time consuming. GeneDx, therefore, has developed comprehensive panels to facilitate testing of all the important genes associated with inherited cancers in a manner that provides rapid and accurate results and at typically no additional cost when compared to testing for a single gene." GeneDx has distinguished itself and gained the trust of the genetics community for its clinical and scientific expertise and experience. Founded in 2000 by geneticists and still managed today by geneticists, GeneDx started offering Whole Exome Sequencing in 2012 to help end the diagnostic odyssey for families who for years have been looking for a molecular diagnosis. Currently, GeneDx offers testing for more than 350 genetic disorders, and has over 30 board-certified geneticists and genetic counselors on staff available to physicians to address their concerns and questions about genetic testing.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee's Academic Progress Rates (APR) were announced on Tuesday and the volleyball team was one of nine UT teams to post a 2011-12 APR of 1000. In addition, the volleyball team boasts a multi-year APR score of 995.
The Academic Progress Rate, now in its ninth year, measures the eligibility and retention of scholarship student-athletes competing on every Division I athletics team, measuring progress toward degree while also serving as a predictor of graduation success. The most recent APR scores are based on a multi-year rate that averages scores from the most recent four-year period, encompassing the 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12 academic years.
The Lady Vols were just one of three SEC volleyball teams to post a perfect APR of 1000 for the 2011-12 academic year. In terms of the multi-year score, Tennessee's 995 is tied for second in the conference.
Academics have always been at the forefront of the Tennessee volleyball program. During the 2012-13 academic year, which is not reflected in this APR score, the Lady Vols finished the spring semester with a department-best 3.58 grade-point average (GPA). With 11 of 12 Lady Vols over the 3.0 mark, the volleyball team recorded its sixth consecutive semester with at least a 3.30 overall team GPA. In addition, the Lady Vols have recorded a cumulative team GPA of 3.0 or higher for 11 consecutive semesters.
Tennessee, which under head coach Rob Patrick leads the league with 115 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll accolades since 1997, is also the only team in the league to earn the American Volleyball Coaches Association Team Academic Award the past two years. With a 3.30 GPA this fall and the 3.58 mark in the spring, the Lady Vols are in line for the award once again.

Technical Paper
The exact solution to the diffusion equation for thermal neutrons emitted into an infinite medium containing absorbing and scattering plates is obtained. A fully explicit analytical representation is found through the solution of the resulting recurrence relation for the interfacial fluxes. Departure from Galanin's theory, which assumes infinitesimally thin absorbing plates, is demonstrated with increasing absorber thickness and decreasing diffusion coefficient.

Mr Stupid Comment - Wednesday, February 25, 2009 - linkHey Mr. Roboto
thanks for the great comment about da music
you really smart man
we need more really interesting comments about the music in posts from smart guys like you.... Reply
v12v12 - Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - linkYeah I know what it's like working on the assm line and fucking shit up. Being mad at a supervisor or whatever, not good for QA, but provides jobs for people. Robots take away lots of jobs, and give 1 person a cushy salary.
There's lots of pro's and cons depending on which side of the table you're on... I'm on the consumer end, so ROBOTS get my toast and cheers! Then again... nothing worse than knowing some machines built your hardware all fast and efficient, but we STILL get charged the same price as if they had to pay more workers... Fat cats automating profits and skimming the cream from the top.
I don't know wtf everyone rips on Enhance = THEY ARE SILVERSTONES' OEM! I built a buddy a nice E4300 OC'er rig with a Enhance 5150GH. The rails are all showing great numbers under load, it's near silent even at full load, and it's been running near 24/7 for 3yrs now w/o issue. Enhance makes quality products w/o the fanboy "name branding," from my experience. Go Enhance! Reply
The0ne - Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - linkUmm, not really seeing anything really new here except for the use of multiple arms in different stages. Pick and Place machines have been around for quite some time. Wave soldering machines are automatic. Automatic trays (forgot the actual name) automatically feed parts and/or dispenses them for the user. Reply
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - linkNothing new that's right but rare for power supplies Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - linkI wonder how many PSUs the robotic assembly line can crank out in an hour. The individual stages seem to be pretty long, so further optimization is possible, but maybe the volume isn't high enough for that to matter. Reply
Mr Roboto - Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - linkI thought the music they were playing was an intro to a Tribe Called Quest song or something. Reply
R3MF - Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - linkand which are hand assembled in chinese factories?
in particular i am interested in the ST70F
cheers Reply
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - linkI think it's more like the higher-end models. Most others are either from Enhance or Etasis. The 700W unit is not made there as it looks. Reply

Shacknews: How much thought was there (if any) given to making the game for PS3 or Xbox 360?
Oster: We were approached by Sony to bring the game to PSN, so I counter-proposed what I thought it would cost for us to do it right. For me, to make BG:EE a good experience on a console would require a very heavy redesign for the entire control and input scheme. We're big fans of Baldur's Gate, so we want the game to be great. Without a large scale effort we just could not make a product we could be proud of and Sony decided not to proceed. I believe they wanted to proceed with a quality product, but we just couldn't make the numbers work.

Target Creates Interactive Youtube Ads For Back-To-School Spenders
Retailer is investing more heavily into the second-largest spending season by introducing new products and digital innovation.
Over the decade, Target has moved to become a go-to resource for college freshmen and students in general. Harnessing this phenomenon and the reality that parents are increasingly spending more money on preparing their kids for school, Target will be kicking off their annual back-to-college marketing campaign with a reality-themed digital campaign, campus events, TV ads, and introducing 200 new products. According to data reported by USA Today:
The share of Target shoppers who say they plan to spend less on back-to-college declined, while the percentage of Target shoppers who say they'll cut back for their younger school-age children increased… Revenue at retail stores opened at least a year (an industry measure of a store's health) rose 3.9% in June compared with the same month a year ago, according to a preliminary tally of 12 retailers by the International Council of Shopping Centers. The mall trade group had expected an increase of 3 to 3.5%. Revenue rose 3.4% in May.
To resonate with millennials, the digital campaign specifically will let online shoppers interact with five Youtube personalities. The digitally enhanced rooms will be in Texas A&M, Auburn, Georgia State, George Mason and UCLA. In making the most of Youtube's rich media capabilities, the faux roommates will spend four days in dorm rooms outfitted with Target products, and viewers can interact with them through social media and mobile technology to win prizes and purchase all of the featured items.
To further support its sales efforts, Target will continue to do Target After Hours, which is a tactical execution where Target provides buses that transport students from their campus to a local retail outlet. All of these executions crystallize Target's investment in millennials and Generation Z. In addition to focusing on this critical lifestage, they are also working to establish themselves as a cornerstone of the back-to-school ritual.

Understanding Payment by Results
Payment by Results (PbR) is the payment system that governs transactions between commissioners and acute hospital providers. Under PbR, commissioners pay providers a national tariff or price for each patient treated or seen. The price varies according to the complexity of the treatment or condition and is set annually for each type of service, with services classified by health resource groups.
With the price set nationally, contract negotiations focus on the volume of activity to be provided. Providers are paid according to the amount of activity they do, multiplied by the relevant tariff price. Activity x Price = Income
The national tariff is intended to base payments on an average price that balances out over the healthcare resource group (HRG). It does not reimburse a provider with the exact cost of treating individual patients and benefits providers whose costs are below average. Trusts whose costs are above the tariff will have to look for savings and ways to become more efficient.
There is also a variation in tariff according to geographical location which is adjusted by the Market Forces Factor (MFF). MFF takes into account unavoidable differences in costs at different geographical locations.
Further information is provided in the Clinical Services Unit Understanding Payment by Results document and in the listed guidance documents section of this page.
Setting the tariff
Tariffs are derived from 'Reference Costs' which are collected annually from all NHS providers. The Finance Director for each Trust will calculate the costs for each inpatient and outpatient activity in their hospital and submit it centrally. These reference costs are then averaged and adjusted to take account of data quality issues. Further details on how this was calculated can be found in Annex D of the PbR Guidance.
It is crucial that all Trusts submit accurate reference costs for their dermatology services, in order to ensure that the tariff reflects the real cost of dermatology care across the country.
2013-14 Tariff Update
We have noticed a change in the coding and tariffs in the 2013-14 Road test package for Payment by Results, affecting the HRG codes JC06 and JC07Z.
Over the last 2 years a mandatory outpatient tariff was allowed for the JC06 and JC07Z codes. However, to everyone's surprise including the PbR development team at the DH, it was discovered late last year that in fact no outpatient procedures (OPCS codes) were mapped to these HRGs. This anomaly was found to arise from a coding algorithm mistake that translated most OPCS codes for minor skin ops with a LoS of 0 (i.e. outpatients) to other codes; JC14, JC15, JC17, JC18, JC20, JC27 but mostly JC18. The effect of this was that whilst we all thought we were getting £140+MFF we were actually being paid £113+MFF. This year it was decided to remove the mandatory tariff for JC06 and JC07 as it was not being used.
Following discussions with the DH early last year there was a complete redesign of Derm HRGs and in future this algorithm will be corrected. The majority of the procedures that previously mapped to JC06 now map to the new HRG JC43 Minor skin procedures. Costing information on this new design is due to be collected this summer and we believed it is intended to be published late in autumn/winter 2013. Such costing information will inform the tariffs for 2015-16 onwards. In short we have been underpriced for the last 2 years and this unsatisfactory situation will continue for a further 2 years.

Anchored by a Finnish team that finished fifth as the host nation of the 2008 European Championships, the Yellow Division has one first-time participant (Poland) and three that are in their second World Championships event.
With just over 60,000 residents and a country barely over 20 square miles in size, Bermuda is the smallest nation in the tournament. They first participated internationally four years ago and are made up in large part by men who picked up the game in the United States and Canada - either growing up there and moving to Bermuda later or picking up the game at United States boarding schools.
Ernie Theriault leads a veteran group at attack. Ernie scored the first goal ever in international competition for Bermuda back at the 2006 world games. Kyle Tucker brings the youth to this position. A sophomore at Babson College, Kyle was a key contributor on Bermuda's U19 squad in 2008 and is a native Bermudian.
Bermuda's youth is focused at the midfield. Tyler Masters and DaZhon Johnston bring speed and toughness. Both native Bermudian's, they've just completed their freshman years at American schools: Tyler at Skidmore College and DJ at Adelphi University. Doug Bell, a US expat living on the island and member of Michigan's MCLA championship squad, will give Bermuda great experience. Midfield is rounded out by Andy Soucie, a 2006 co-captain and one of the three original founders of Bermuda Lacrosse.
Barry Lohan makes his second world games appearance as the leader of Bermudas defense. A native Bermudian, Barry was a co-captain in 2006. He played his lacrosse back in the day at Brooks School in Massachussetts. Judd Smith rounds out the youth at the defense/Dmiddie/faceoff position. Judd is another member of the 2008 U19 squad who has graduated to the men's team and looks to bring that experience to help Bermuda's faceoffs.
Steve Velotti returns as Bermuda's keeper. Having only 3 months experience on the lacrosse field when the 2006 games rolled around, Steve has gone on to become Bermuda's top goal stopper and has gone undefeated for the US expats in the local Tri Nations event over the past four years.
In 2008 Bermuda hosted the first King of the Rock international club tournament on the island. Hofstra alum and Team Macwear player Dom Gallina fell so in love with the island (and one of its inhabitants) during his teams stay here that he decided to pick up and move here from NYC in 2009. Ever since then he has helped Bermuda prepare for these games and will be a great asset on the field.
Jamie Chiappa. A native Bermudian, Jamie has been involved with Bermuda Lacrosse since he was 14 years old. A part of the 2008 U19 squad, he was overshadowed then by some of the bigger/faster players on that roster. That didn't stop him from being one of the scrappiest players on the field when he did get his time. Over the last two years he has learned by watching the older squad and is one of the hardest workers on the team. Watch for him to light a fire when Bermuda needs a spark on the field.
In 2002 three friends began organizing lacrosse on the island just by throwing around in a local park. Two of the original members are on this roster, Ernie and Andy. The third, Kirk Bridgewater, has been instrumental in developing the game at the youth level and in the schools.
After Bermuda's first appearance at the WC's in 2006 the game began to grab hold on the island. In 2008 Michael Totman organized a U19 squad of players mostly unknown to the then current Bermuda Lacrosse club, but who were mostly Bermudians playing the game at American prep schools. Those young players have become the core of the 2010 squad.
A strong defensive team, Denmark hopes to continue the growth of its program with a good showing in pool play.
The attack will bring a blue-collar ethic to their play, led by Bo Bennekov and Kristian Holms. Dan Hansen, Kristian Greisen and Janus Lund will also play up top to help form a deep unit.
Midfield has a mix of depth and youth, with face-off man Martin Baadsguard providing experience, along with Jacob Bonde and Binz Hansen. Younger players like Katborg and Wengel Sorens will need to step up and provide depth between the lines. Jordan Herrman sill run the LSM position and brings a good mix of speed and defense as well as being a key in the groundball game.
Defense is expected to be a strong point for the Danes, with Simon Kofod leading the way and Tony Vita bringing experience from his days at Princeton. Atle Lowstein is another big defender at 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, though he is also the youngest. In goal, Kristian 'Tiny' Schweitzer will be the starter, backed up by Kyle Hansen.
Tony Vita was a former All-Met player at Landon who went on to Princeton, while Binz hansen played at Guilford. The goalkeeper Schweitzer played at Franklin and Marshall, while Jordan Herrman is going to be attending Tennessee Wesleyan in the fall.
Simon Kofod is a returning defender from the 2006 world games and stands an imposing 6-foot-3 and brings a tremendous motor to the field that makes him especially dangerous on the defense. He did not participate in he 2008 European games, but is expected to be a disruptive force against the Finns, Poles and Bermudians.
Denmark has been playing internationally since 2003, when it played in the Newcomers tournament with three other new European international squads. Most recently, the Danes finished 10th among 18 teams at the 2008 European Championships in Finland. The home league was started in 2005 and now has six teams.
Familiar faces dot the Poland roster, as the country is just getting its lacrosse footing after starting less than three years ago.
Josh Koveleski - who played at Duke and then took his fifth year at Delaware - anchors the attack line for the Polish, and could also play some midfield. Jacek Litmanowski, Marcin Janiszewski, Blazej Piotrowski, Blazej Rokicki and Mike Szpiech are also on the roster at attack, with Jedrzej Baginski and Colin Jesien shifting between attack and midfield.
Justin Rychicki anchors the midfield, with Glen Gregory, Pawel Hamrol, Krystian Komar, Joachim Pernal also on the roster. Derrek Ostrzyzek is going to split time between goal and midfield for Poland.
Defensively, Chris Perzinski has US experience, joined by Grzegorz Iria, Adrian Marcinkowski, Milosz Pellowski, Daniel Wegrzyk and Jarek Winiarek on the line as well. Christian Dzwilewski and Mateusz Rydzak will also spend time in goal.
There are several US college players on the Poland roster under coach Christian Zwickert. Josh Coveleski was a four-year player at Duke who also played a fifth year at Delaware, while Justin Rychlicki (Canisius), Mark Todd (Towson) and Christian Dzwikewski (Providence) all have Division I experience. Colin Jesien played at RIT, Chris Perzinski went to Lynchburg, Mike Szpiech played at Elmira and Derrek Ostrzyzek at the University of Mary Washington.
One of the most recent countries to pick up the game, Poland got off the ground in April of 2008 and played its first international in October against the Latvian National Team in Warsaw. There are only about 100 players in the country participating in the game at this point.
The Finns have rapidly become one of the better sides in Europe after an unlikely start to their program after a viewing of 'American Pie' by the 'godfather' of Finnish lacrosse - more on that below.
John Snellman is a solid finisher who is entering his junior year at Fairfield University and will be an anchor of the attack for Finland. Risto Worthingthon will be the primary feeder of the group and played at Mary Washington, while Petja Karki is the attack's left-handed fixture.
Trinity College alum David Huoppi is the key at midfield, with good size and the ability to both feed and shoot off his dodge. Rob Griffith is a Canadian/Finnish dual passport holder who was one of the top scorers in the 2008 European Championships while Pentti Pekkonen is a midfielder after playing defense on the 2008 NCAA Championship squad for Division II NYIT.
The team's strength is at the back line, anchored by Jarno Alm, who has great checks and great range and is one of the more experienced voices on the squad. Jaakko Savolahti is a big bruiser of a defender while two young LSM's - Harri Turkki and Mikko Varjo - are very good players between the lines. Kristian Herrmann - who played a bit at Penn, will be the likely starter in goal, while Lauri Uusitalo is is a good shot-stopping keeper but doesn't have the same clearing/ball-handling skill as Herrmann.
In addition to Snellman, Worthingthon, Huoppi and Pekkonen, Samuli Harala is currently on the roster at Bellarmine University and will see time at the midfield.
A prototypical Division I defenseman, Jarno Alm would have probably had a good chance to play in the states if he had picked up the game at a younger age. One of several Finns who have formed the core of the developing program, Alm should be a big determining factor in the team's chances this tournament.
The entry of Finland into the lacrosse world is literally a storybook one, as the movie "American Pie" was the genesis of the sport getting brought on board in the country. Antti Salomaa was watching the movie in Helsinki when he saw the game that the characters were playing and it intrigued his curiosity. He ordered a couple of sticks from the US and threw around with his friends. Before long, people were asking what he was playing, more sticks were ordered, and Finnish Lacrosse was born. In the time since the program has gotten better and better, finishing ninth in their first Worlds in 2006 and taking fifth in the European Championships as the host nation in 2008.

The WVU game marks the first time since 2005 that William & Mary's Football Bowl Subdivision opponent has not hailed from the ACC. The Tribe is returning to the same state as it did eight years ago, when it faced Marshall and lost 36-24.
WVU and William & Mary have both played 120 seasons of college football. The Mountaineers are 708-463-45 all-time, while the Tribe is 543-536-41.
WVU's 45 ties may sound like a lot, but that places the Mountaineers, appropriately enough, in a tie for just 39th all-time in Division 1. What school, according to the NCAA, has the most ties in D1? Answer at the end of this column.
West Virginia special teams coach Joe DeForest has noted concern over West Virginia's kickoff coverage, as the Mountaineers don't have anyone who can consistently boot the ball deep enough to produce touchbacks. The same might happen on the flip side, as William & Mary kicker John Carpenter produced just 16 touchbacks in 47 kickoffs a year ago.
West Virginia has never lost to William & Mary, but it did sustain one blemish alongside its 15 wins. The Tribe (then known as the Indians) managed a 16-16 tie in a 1967 game in Williamsburg, Va.
During the past few seasons, W&M has established itself as one of the nation's least-penalized teams. Last season, W&M ranked eighth nationally among FCS teams with just 4.18 penalties per game. Additionally, it ranked eighth in fewest penalty yards per contest (38.45).
Shannon Dawson is the only Mountaineer assistant scheduled to perform his game day duties from the press box. All of the other WVU coaches are set to work on the field.
Former Mountaineer coach Bill Stewart was W&M head coach Jimmye Laycock's offensive line coach at the school from 1981-83. Laycock remains at the helm of the Tribe, and is entering his 34th year with a head coaching record of 215-160-2. He currently ranks as the fifth-winningest active coach in the FCS.
Kevin Rogers is William & Mary's offensive coordinator. He was an assistant coach at Syracuse for the infamous brawl game in 1992, in which Orange quarterback Marvin Graves sparked a bench-clearing brawl that led to the ejections of three Mountaineer defensive players and one Syracuse backup offensive lineman. Rogers was quoted as saying that he did not touch anyone during the brawl, but video clearly showed him grabbing Tommy Orr during the melee. Rogers was hired as W&M's offensive coordinator this summer.
Kansas, with 58 ties in 123 years of play, leads Navy and TCU by one in the number of Division 1 ties all-time. The Big 12 features a third school in the top ten of this list, as Oklahoma has 53 ties in 118 years of action.

Genoa considering Immobile player exchange with Palermo
Palermo is in desperate need for a striker, and are considering making a move for Genoa's Ciro Immobile while sending right-back Eros Pisano in the other direction.
Palermo sporting director Pietro Lo Monaco is hoping to bring the 23-year-old in on loan in January to give his squad an immediate and much needed boost in attack, as a long-term injury to Abel Hernandez has left the squad short on the attackers needed for manager Gian Piero Gasperini's preferred three-man forward line.
According to calciomercato.com, Palermo would be willing to send a player in the other direction, with Eros Pisano being mentioned as a possible makeweight. The Grifoni are in need of depth at fullback, and the 25-year-old can play on either side of the defense.
Immobile, who is co-owned by Juventus and Genoa, has appeared in all 16 league matches for the Rossoblu, however, he has scored only four times for the second from bottom side. Like the rest of the squad, Immobile has struggled of late as he hasn't scored since the 3-1 loss to Sampdoria in the Derby della Lanterna over three weeks ago.
Immobile has also been linked to a move back to Pescara, where he scored 28 times in 37 matches last season, helping lead the Delfini back to Serie A.

Maduro expels 3 US officials from Venezuela
By Joshua Goodman, AP Tuesday, February 18, 2014, 12:19 am TWN
CARACAS, Venezuela--Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro on Sunday ordered the expulsion of three U.S. Embassy officials after Washington came to the defense of an opposition hard-liner accused by Venezuela's leader of responsibility for bloodshed during anti-government protests.
Maduro didn't identify the consular officials but charged that intelligence officials who tailed them the past two months found evidence they were trying to infiltrate Venezuelan universities, a hotbed of recent unrest, under the cover of doing visa outreach. Foreign Minister Elias Jaua was scheduled to provide more details Monday.
Triggering the expulsion was the Obama administration's siding with opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, who is being hunted by police as Maduro accuses him of leading a "fascist" plot to oust the socialist government two months after it won mayoral elections by a landslide.
Maduro said State Department official Alex Lee, in a phone conversation with Venezuela's ambassador to the Washington-based Organization of American States, warned that arresting the 42-year-old former mayor would bring serious negative consequences with international ramifications.
"These are unacceptable, insolent demands," Maduro said during a televised address Sunday night. "I don't take orders from anyone in the world."
There was no immediate reaction from the U.S. government, which has denied the accusations that it is plotting with the opposition against him. The U.S. hasn't had an ambassador in Caracas since 2010.
The Harvard-educated Lopez has been at the center of rising tensions in Venezuela since he led the biggest demonstration yet against Maduro's 10-month-old government, mobilizing more than 10,000 people on Wednesday to peacefully protest hardships ranging from rampant crime to 56 percent inflation.
The government blamed him for the mayhem that erupted after the rally ended and a group of students battled with security forces and armed pro-government militias, leaving three dead. Most of the demonstrators had gone home before the violence broke out.
In his TV speech, Maduro called for a march by oil workers Tuesday beginning at the same central plaza in Caracas where Lopez said he would rally with supporters dressed in white the same day, setting up the potential for clashes between the opposing forces.
Lopez announced his plans a few hours before Maduro's speech, appearing in a video shot at an undisclosed location. He said he didn't fear arrest but accused authorities of trying to violate his constitutional right to protest Maduro's government.

Burnett and Fraser to contest GFA presidency
By Iva Wharton On January 17, 2013 @ 5:20 am In Sports
Incumbent Vernon Burnett and Coordinator of the University of Guyana Sports Department Lavern Fraser will Saturday contest the presidency of the Georgetown Football Association (GFA).
Also nominated for the post is president of the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) Colin Boyce who will himself face challengers when that body holds its AGM on Sunday. President of Alpha United, Odinga Lumumba, failed to garner a nomination.
The GFA elections are set for Saturday at the Sleepin International Hotel, Brickdam.
Fraser yesterday told Stabroek Sports that she had accepted the nomination which was put to her as a meeting of the General Council.
Asked what she brings to the table and what does she possess that might give her the edge over Burnett, Fraser said: "I was not looking at it in relation to Burnett, but in the sense that the I have been nominated by the General Council, who, in my opinion, believe that I am capable and have the capacity to serve in the position and so I am prepared to serve if elected."
Fraser added that her accepting the nomination …to continue reading this article, please subscribe. Already a subscriber ? Sign In

Biased competition and visual search: the role of luminance and size contrast
Document Type:Article
Article Type:Experimental
Keywords:biased competition, attention, visual search, contrast
Deposited by:Dr. Michael J. Proulx
Date of Issue:2006
Journal/Publication Title:Psychological Research
Official URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00426-006-0077-z
Alternative URL:http://mproulxjhu.googlepages.com/
Abstract:The biased-competition theory of attention proposes that objects compete for cortical representation in a mutually inhibitory network; competition is biased in favor of the attended item. Here we test two predictions derived from the biased-competition theory. First we assessed whether increasing an object's relative brightness (luminance contrast) biased competition in favor of (i.e., prioritized) the brighter object. Second we assessed whether increasing an object's size biased competition in favor of the larger object. In fulfillment of these aims we used an attentional capture paradigm to test whether a featural singleton (an item unique with respect to a feature such as size or brightness) can impact attentional priority even when those features are irrelevant to finding the target. The results support the prediction that a singleton with respect to luminance contrast receives attentional prioritization and extend the biased-competition account to include size contrast, because a large singleton also receives attentional prioritization.

Becky Bork purchased this condo in 2005
We purchased this property for the great location, and the beautiful layout and harbor. We are enjoy the peace and quiet, and love being close enough to Walker to easily reach all that this lovely town offers.
The harbor and swimming beach are just outside the door. If it rains or it is cold outside the indoor pool and hot tub at the resort are great options.
This is an upper level end unit. Very quiet location. Lovely cross breezes and a great view of the lake and property. The beach is visible from the deck as is the playground equipment.
30 ft boat slip in harbour available upon request
My husband, two daughters (ages 7 and 3), and I stayed at this condo for our summer vacation and we absolutely loved it! It's perfect for a family. We cooked meals (all kitchen supplies are provided), played on the beach (the resort amenities are available for use), drove to walker a few times for groceries.... It was perfect. The condo is wonderfully kept, clean, and updated. The washer and dryer were handy for a few loads of clothes during the week. It is very spacious and roomy! I would recommend this condo to anyone, especially those who prefer the convenience of cooking meals and doing occasional laundry. Proximity to the beach is very convenient...our kids had a blast. They loved fishing off the dock...they caught the tiniest of perch, which was perfect for their first time fishing. I loved this place-- we'll definitely be going back.
Our family of 8 had a wonderful time at Leech Lake in this great condo. It had everything we needed. There was enough room for all of us and we did all our cooking in the condo. Would rent again.
Great accommodations - clean, spacious, comfortable, well appointed. The listing is a good representation of the rental unit. Easy drive into Walker for anything you'll need. Dockage is safe and well protected from wind, and waves- no worries about leaving you boat in Horseshoe Bay.
This was a great condo with a beautiful view of Leech Lake. It was much larger than we expected but it was great to have all that room. It was nicely decorated and well cared for. We would definitely rent it again next time we visit the area.
We really enjoyed our stay in this Condo at Leech Lake. The owners were very accommodating with any questions we had. The Condo was spacious and very quiet. We loved the beach area and all the amenities of the resort. The resort was very kid and pet friendly. It is a beautiful area - the lake is huge with great fishing. we would highly recommend this property to rent and this area to visit. We had a very relaxing and fun vacation!
The condo was bigger than we expected! It has a great view of beautiful Leech Lake. The kitchen had everything we needed. Dining room was the perfect size game night, and the living room was great for movie day, on our 1 rainy day. We went pontooning, tubing and stopped at several nice sandy beaches on the lake. Close enough to Walker to shop for a few hours, wayyy too close to the casino, although mom hit a nice jackpot! The guys went golfing at Tianna Golf Course, while we took the little kids to the park in Walker. The kids loved the water trampoline at the resort, that was a big hit!
This beautiful condo is located on Horseshoe Bay Resort, the Anderson Family Resorts' flagship property. The resort boasts a deep harbor, restaurant, lounge, pool, sauna, hot tub, exercise room.

The Huawei MediaPad X1 is one of those curious devices that lives at the spot where phone meets tablet. This is a 7-inch phone, making it a bit too big to fit into trouser pockets.
Even Huawei admitted to us that it's not something everyone will be able to get on with, especially given its ~£400 (400 Euro). But it has a few interesting bits. We took a closer look at MWC 2014.
A 7-inch phone is always going to be tricky to handle, but the Huawei MediaPad X1 does its best to help. Its thin bezel makes it the narrowest 7-inch phone-tablet to date – it's 103.9mm wide.
Of course, in phone terms it is absolutely massive. You can hold the MediaPad X1 in one hand, but you'd be foolish to try and use the thing without getting both mitts involved. Consider it a 7-inch tablet instead, though, and it's pretty great. It's slim and light in its class at 239g and 7.2mm thick. I can imagine using this thing on the train on the way to work – no problem.
It feels pretty good too. The back is mostly anodised aluminium with a couple of plastic bits at the top and bottom to fit in the antennas, and to make fitting in the speaker grille and camera lens a bit easier (drilling into/molding plastic is cheaper and easier than drilling into metal). The plastic bits also hide the SIM slot and microSD memory card slot.
The price you pay for this slim, neat design is a rear speaker rather than having a front stereo pair like the MediaPad M1. However, you'll probably be using earphones while out and about anyway.
Huawei MediaPad X1 – Screen and Specs
The MediaPad X1 has a much better screen than its M1 brother, though – despite being an inch smaller. It's 1,920 x 1,200 in resolution offering good sharpness and great viewing angles thanks to its LTPS panel.
Brightness appears to be strong, and the tablet gives you control over the colour temperature too.
However, like other Huawei devices, it's let down a bit by the software – it uses Android with the Huawei Emotion UI on top. It does three things that I think are slightly misguided moves, at least for the UK buyer.
It gets rid of the apps menu, instead jamming everything onto your home screens. This makes it a bit more like iOS, but as the organisation of apps is completely different, it just doesn't work well. It tends to make your phone's interface a bit confusing.
The second issue is the 'hide-able' nav bar. This makes sense when you're watching a film or playing a game, but there's little reason to do so while you're browsing your home screens. And there's too much potential to hide the bar accidentally. Again – confusing.
Finally, there's the theme-based approach to the UI. These themes affect the icon style, the look of the shortcut bar and more. Most of them are a bit ropey, and while there is a friendly-looking one that trends towards the current norm of making interfaces look simpler and more coherent, we're not even convinced all buyers will realise they can change to this look.
It's software, rather than hardware, that holds the MediaPad X1 back – assuming you find a crowd of people interested in the idea of a 7-inch phone, that is.
Core specs of the MediaPad X1 are fairly strong. The phone uses a quad-core 1.6GHz Huawei HiSilicon CPU and 2GB of RAM. The processor is not quite as fast as the latest high-end Snapdragon chips, but it's not bad.
This is a 4G-ready phone and its complement of cameras is unusually strong. It uses a 13-megapixel Sony rear camera with LED flash and a 5-megapixel front one. Higher-resolution front cameras are becoming a little more common, especially in the phones of Taiwanese and Chinese manufacturers like HTC and Huawei. 'Selfie culture' is hardly exclusive to those countries, much as I shudder at the idea of using the MediaPad X1 to take selfies with friends out in public.
The Huawei MediaPad X1 is a bit of an oddball. It's a 7-inch phone, and it only makes sense if you consider it as such given that rival 7-inch tablets are available for less than half the price. It seems like Samsung may already have some of the MediaPad X1's potential sewn up with the Note series of phones, but it is a promising device regardless.

What about the battery duration?
Maybe you have the wrong angle. I guess you're using a $500 smartphone, but for a lot of people a $100 smartphone and a $400 tablet with 4G make more sense. It's still small enough to easily slip into a bag or coat, it's much better for browsing, games or movies than a 4-5" phone and a flat battery is not the end of the world.

While the basic technology behind 3D printing has been around for decades, recent hype and coverage has recast a spotlight on the industry. Over the last few years, incumbent and emerging vendors have been rapidly developing 3D printers, each more productive than the last, with an ever expanding variety of printable materials and possible use cases.
Outside of consumer hobbyists, 3D printing will have the greatest impact on businesses that design and manufacture discrete products, introducing rapid prototyping to speed up development cycles and an alternative production method for customized finished objects.
What does this mean for CIOs and technology management departments?
As the resident technology expert, you may be called upon to evaluate the hardware and feasibility of 3D printing for your business. Beyond assessment, businesses may demand:

Social networking is hot, and it's smart to think about how your organization might use it to generate benefit equal to the market hype. As you develop your social technology strategy, it's particularly important to steer clear of a fallacy of thought that often creeps into technology strategies for enterprise communication and collaboration.
Oftentimes, an enterprise social strategy, like enterprise collaboration strategies before them, will have among its goals a phrase suggesting that the technology should "change the way people communicate." Superficially, this phrase may accurately describe part of the effect, but at a more fundamental level, it violates a very important change management principle. To make my point, I'll back up and start with a little history.
I used to communicate via paper memos and phone calls, but it was cumbersome and time-consuming. Email has come to replace much of that. So, the "way I communicate" has changed, right? On the face of it, yes, but, looking more closely, not really, at least not at first. Compared to my "before email" days, I still communicate the same types of things with the same kinds of people — only email made these communications easier (for the most part). I started using email because (1) it could improve the existing way I communicated and (2) it fit my work and life context — it was just a new program to use on my handy desktop PC. Once email became part of my context, I realized that I could use it for communications that were too costly before. At this point, it did, to a degree, change the way I communicate.

As I discuss with clients the developing notions of Forrester's Business Capability Architecture (see blog post #1 and blog post #2), I have found it important to distinguish between different levels of scope for technology strategy. The primary distinctions have to do with (a) the degree to which a strategy (and the architecture it promulgates) aims to account for future change and (b) the breadth of business and technology scenarios addressed by the strategy.
Thus, I define a four-part technology strategy taxonomy along a two-dimensional continuum with (a) and (b) as axes (IOW, the four parts are archetypes that will occur in varying degrees of purity), to wit:
Posted by Randy Heffner on the Application Development & Delivery Professionals Blog on April 13, 2010
In developing a technology strategy for your organization, what will be your basis for deciding which technologies to pursue, when to pursue them, and how to implement them? In other words, what will be the foundation for your technology architecture and strategy? In considering this question, I assume we agree that technology strategy should directly support improvement of business outcomes, both now and over the long haul. To provide for the long haul, your technology architecture and strategy must be crafted to support a continuous stream of business change, both small incremental steps and large radical shifts.
Your strategy could begin with a list of hot technologies — perhaps even ones that business colleagues are clamoring for — but how would you know which of them would lead to the most important improvements in business outcomes? You could begin with your top executives' current business plans and strategies — which would clearly address today's priorities for improving outcomes — but over the long haul, business plans change, sometimes dramatically, making them an unstable foundation for technology strategy.
Since the goal of technology strategy is to improve business outcomes, let's refine the question with that as our focus: What basis for technology architecture and strategy:
(a) Aligns best with the ways that business leaders conceive, plan, execute, and measure improvements to business outcomes,
(b) Provides the best structure for building technology implementations that align with and facilitate the ways that businesses change both now and over the long haul, and
(c) Best guides the prioritization, planning, architecture, design, and usage of technology within business improvement projects?

Hang about, this actually is a shocker - of sorts. Or just rather ironic. Or just very obvious. Meh, I can't be hewped deciding which.
There was Holly Madison, and the other two broads Ryan 'Satan Lives Here' Seacrest saw fit to give individual TV shows to, all wanting to marry him a few years back. Then he got the dodgy twins in, and finally - after saying he'd never marry again (mostly to Holly) - Hugh popped the coveted question at Crystal Harris. Why, he's ancient; a few years with the wet wipes and she'd be set for life. What every person who basis their existence solely on their exterior dreams of?! A future of Anna Nicole Smith proportions beckoned!!
And then, Crystal did the unthinkable/very obvious given the 60 year age gap... she called it a day, but not before they'd presumably spent a wedge on the wedding preparations... The 25-year-old was due to marry the Playboy founder in a ceremony at the Playboy Mansion on Saturday, June 18th, but with just four days notice, the news of their split came when Hefner posted a message on his Twitter page. Harris later took to her official website to confirm the news. She said: "After much deep reflection and thought I have decided to end my engagement with Hef. I have the utmost respect for Hef and wish him the best going forward (um to where?). I hope the media will give each of us the privacy we deserve during this time."
So, she saw sense. Or she just saw something she reeeeaaaallly didn't want to see which'll haunt her for the rest of her days *shudders*. Or what Kellier said below (see comments).
Unsurprisingly, the vultures have started circling.

is there actually a statue of limitation if a student cheat in community college? can it ever come back and get the student? like he have a P.E class and he sign in for extra hours than he suppose to, so there gotta be a time limit for the school to take action about it right?is so is cheating consider a misdemeanor or felony?
I handle a lot of college and university cheating cases and I have never seen an instance of cheating prosecuted as a criminal offense. The school can do a lot of very onerous things such as withhold your transcripts and negate prior credits, not to mention expulsion. But I have never seen a criminal case attempted. And no, there is no universally applicable statute of limitations. Each school will run its own integrity enforcement efforts independently.

CINCINNATI -- The missing element in the Colorado Rockies' offense has finally showed up.
Chris Iannetta and Matt Holliday hit two-run homers off Cincinnati's battered bullpen Saturday night, powering the Rockies to a 9-7 victory and a major breakthrough on the road.
Colorado won back-to-back games for only the third time this season and clinched its first winning series on the road. The Rockies hadn't won a series since taking two of three from Arizona at Coors Field to open the season.
One of the main factors was their lack of power. They had only 14 homers heading into the game, tied for second-fewest in the NL.
"We've got that club in our bag," manager Clint Hurdle said. "We just haven't used it very often. It's starting to come out more."
A local prep star and a balanced offense helped the Rockies pull it off.
Right-hander Aaron Cook (1-1) got his first career victory over the team he followed as a youth. Cook won a state high school baseball championship in nearby Hamilton, Ohio, where he lives in the offseason.
A large block of fans along the third base line rooted loudly for Cook, who gave up five runs in 5 1/3 innings. He also had a double and scored a run in a performance that wasn't among his best.
"They were pretty loud after I got the hit," Cook said. "I didn't give them very much to cheer for."
Brian Fuentes pitched the ninth for his seventh save in eight tries.
The Rockies held on despite a big game by Josh Hamilton, who was the NL's rookie of the month in April. He had a career-high four hits -- two singles, a double and a triple -- and scored four runs.
Every Colorado starter had at least one hit. Holliday drove in three runs with his homer and a groundout, and Brad Hawpe drove in three more with a pair of singles. Hawpe's two-run single in the sixth off Aaron Harang (4-1) put the Rockies ahead to stay.
Harang couldn't extend the best start of his career against a team he has dominated recently. The right-hander had allowed only two runs while winning his last three starts against Colorado.
This time, a high pitch count did him in. Hawpe's two-run single with none out in the sixth came off Harang's 120th pitch.
Manager Jerry Narron visited Harang when Hawpe came to bat, thinking about changing pitchers. Harang assured him that he had enough left to get him out.
"When he came out, I told him I could get this guy," Harang said. "He said, 'All right, we'll take it one guy at a time and see what happens.' I made the pitch I wanted to make. He broke his bat, but he got just enough on it to get it over the drawn-in infield. Not my lucky day."
Given the way the bullpen has performed, Narron's decision was understandable.
"We were going to give him every chance in the world," Narron said. "If somebody had told me before the game that we were going to get seven runs with Aaron Harang pitching, I'll take that every time."
Iannetta followed with his first homer off reliever Todd Coffey, completing a four-run rally. Holliday homered an inning later off Victor Santos for a 9-5 lead, the latest meltdown by a bullpen that has the NL's worst earned run average.
Besides Hamilton's four hits, Ryan Freel drove in two runs for the Reds with a pair of singles and Edwin Encarnacion had his first career pinch-hit homer, a two-run shot off Cook in the sixth.
- The first pitch was delayed by rain for 61 minutes.
- Cornerback Leon Hall, the Bengals' first-round draft pick, threw a ceremonial pitch that was high but down the middle. Hall, a left-hander, was in town for the team's rookie minicamp.
- Iannetta's homer was the third of his career.
- Rockies rookie SS Troy Tulowitzki extended his hitting streak to a career-high eight games. 3B Garrett Atkins also extended his streak to eight games.
- RF Ken Griffey Jr. misplayed Holliday's single in the first inning, letting the ball skip past his glove for an error. It was Griffey's fourth error in 20 games at his new position. Griffey also slammed into the wall in foul territory to make a catch.
- Reds 2B Brandon Phillips batted cleanup for the first time in his career.


text: help, i purchased a troublesome fleetwood a couple months ago. one thing after another has been wrong or gone wrong. rear right wheel bearing and axle, tranny leak, front seal leak, power steering whining and leaking, alternator bad, brake bleeders broke off on BOTH front calipers, mirror glass missing, ac not charged, heater not working, etc. etc. etc... Anyways, I've always wanted one of these cars so I'm gonna stick it out and eventually fix all the problems. Then another one pops up, right after i fix the brakes; the interior lights WILL NOT turn off. I had to pull the fuse. I checked the doors, and whenever you open a door, it says door ajar, like it's supposed to. Same thing with the trunk. So i don't think it's either the doors or trunk so what else runs on that circuit other than the dimmer switch? I tried to find a repair manual on this car but am told that there isn't one. thank you.

Unicorns—New Fabric
There is not a day that goes by where I don't day dream of meeting a unicorn. I imagine them to be gentle souls, magical, quite peaceful, living in a hidden valley. I would quite like to ride one, no halter or saddle, just freedom. It was from these thoughts that I created my new fabric.
The Unicorn fabric has only just arrived and I am really thrilled by it, it has been printed just as I imagined it to look.
This is a large scale fabric design available as a panel. The repeat is large at 100 x 112cm.
The Unicorn fabric is available in my online shop from today.
This is the entire design on the fabric.
If you would like to make a quilt with the Unicorn fabric you can use the Wombat and the Valley View ranges. It coordinates perfectly as it uses the same pinks, purples, yellow, grey and green.
I have been sketching up a quilt design for the fabric. I think it would be terrific as panel in the centre of the quilt with large triangles pieced in a patchwork effect all around the Unicorn panel.
This is a detail of the top left hand side of the unicorn fabric, featuring the fairy riding on a unicorn. She is so lucky!
This is a detail of the unicorn and the fairy. I am so going to make her dress next.
Large Yellow Butterfly.
The fabric is digitally printed on pure cotton.
Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think?

Author Shteyngart sees fall of digital-gripped U.S.
By Walker Simon
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Russian-American author Gary Shteyngart's new book is a vision of a fast-declining America, obsessed by youthfulness, gripped by omniscient smartphones and swayed by monopolies and the Bank of China.
A cash-strapped United States is at war with Venezuela and the Chinese yuan-pegged dollars are coveted currency.
"Super Sad True Love Story," uses e-mails to develop a star-crossed romance. Like Shteyngart, the protagonist Lenny Abramov is his late 30s, slight, balding, Jewish and a native Russian speaker. The fictional challenge is to woo a hyper-intelligent Korean-American beauty, aged 24.
Shteyngart spoke to Reuters about the book and how, like George Orwell's "1984," the novel includes a love story to draw readers into a world extrapolated from the present.
Q. How did you come up with the character in your latest book?
A. "I wanted somebody who at age 39 is completely obsolete. In this society, anyone who is not young is finished. And people go to great lengths to be young. Like all satire, speculative fiction, I'm extrapolating from what is happening today. I love characters who are not quite up to the society which they find themselves but are still great romantics. That's where (Korean-American) Eunice comes in, she's gorgeous."
Q. Why a younger Korean-American woman?
A. "I wanted to create a love affair between two children of immigrants. Lenny and Eunice fall in love. They're very mismatched, but they come from two dysfunctional immigrant families, so they're kind of made for each other. Continued...

Location: Corn Insects and Crop Genetics Research
Project Number: 5030-21220-005-35-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Dec 7, 2011
End Date: Aug 31, 2015
1. Generate, in collaboration with DOE-JGI, gene expression data (RNA-Seq) for approximately 180 tissues/conditions (30 in year 1, increased to 100 in year 2, and to 180 in year 3); 2. Identify and characterize tissue-specific promoters. Using the gene expression data from Activity 17 above, we will identify up to 20 different promoters in year 1 that mediate tissue or condition-specific gene expression and clone at least 10 such promoters into GUS/GFP expression vectors. These will then be tested transiently in soybean. At the end of year 2 we will continue to identify additional promoters from the gene expression atlas, clone these and test them by transient expression. By the end of year 3 we will reach our goal of screening at least 50 promoter constructs transiently.
The initial pilot phase of the project will target 30 conditions. These are yet to be fully defined but will include all of the major tissues of soybean (e.g., leaf, root, seed, stem, apical and root meristem, and nodules). In some cases, these tissues will be analyzed over a set time period. Additional conditions may target various biotic and abiotic stress conditions, etc. In order to maximize the uniformity of these initial samples, all plants will be grown in the Stacey laboratory (using growth chambers) and the mRNA will be isolated by a single lab member before shipping to DOE-JGI for sequencing. We plan to analyze soybean under a wide range of conditions that include various stresses (e.g., drought, pathogen infection, cold, heat, etc.), as well as various hormonal treatments (e.g., auxin, ethylene, cytokiniin, etc.). We plan to utilize the gene expression data, derived from the transcriptional gene index described above, to identify and clone promoter elements that will control gene expression in a tissue-specific or condition-specific way. For example, analysis of the currently available soybean transcriptional index (e.g., http://digbio.missouri.edu/soybean_atlas) led to the identification of roughly 9 genes that show an extremely high level (>1000-fold) of tissue specific expression. The promoters of these genes are, therefore, natural targets for cloning and use to drive tissue specific expression. A natural extension of generating the transcriptional atlas is also the ability to identify and isolate promoters that will be useful for both basic and applied studies in soybean. These promoters will provide the ability to specifically target the expression of transgenes, while also providing tools (e.g., promoter-green fluorescent protein constructs) to analyze the cellular basis of the soybean response to a variety of treatments. We will work closely to make sure that the data are directly integrated into the soybase.org site.

Those are all the same valves at varying prices. The model I got was from O'reillys for $2.99. Im thinking I did a good and clean looking setup. I retained both vacuum sources on the distribution piece by using the OEM elbow connected to the front vacuum port which helped with the fitment, placement and OE-ish looks(imo). I can definitely make it look more OEM with snap on hose clamps but Ill save that for another day. My car nut neighbor actually stopped by asking what I was working on and he didnt even mention or notice the catch can! I am pleased I took this project on. The valve will now be a 10minute change including inspecting/emptying the catch can.
So is the PCV located at the lower hose, the source of vacuum?
and the lower hose connects to #5 on real oem diagram, probably through some metal fitting ? This is the real oem diagram
It will be a great mod if you could draw some line on top of real oem image's screen shot. and the putting cross over hoses which were entirely deleted.
I was thinking that instead of using a catchcan one can use the 540 oil separator and put a simple catch can at the drainage point. If a catch can manufacturer is not showing cross sections of catch can it might be just an empty can. The parts can be assembled in this order from the vacuum source onwards .
red is pcv valve as used by you
green m5 cyclone separator
olive green is simple catch can , may be a check valve before that catch can be added
what do you think , will it work

CORRECTED-Growth of biotech crops plateaus in U.S., climbs in Asia -report
(Removes reference in first paragraph to GMO corn and rice, which are not grown for human consumption in China.)
By Carey Gillam
Feb 13 (Reuters) - The growth of biotech crops in the United States appears to have hit a plateau, but farmers are accelerating plantings in Asia, although it still remains a much smaller market, according to an industry report issued Thursday.
Farmers around the world grew a record 175.2 million hectares (433 million acres) of biotech crops in 2013, up 3 percent from 2012, with American and Brazilian farmers continuing to be the dominant users, according to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA), a pro-biotech industry organization.
Critics of GMO crops accuse the ISAAA of inflating figures in the European Union and developing countries to show growing support for biotech crops. Particularly in the European Union, opponents of biotech crops say they lead to increased pesticide use and environmental damage and have not been proven safe for human and animal consumption.
Backers say the crops are no different to normal crops.
"Biotech crops are demonstrating their global value as a tool for resource-poor farmers who face decreased water supplies and increased weed and pest pressures - and the effects of climate change will only continue to expand the need for this technology," said ISAAA Chairman Clive James in a statement.
Farmers in the United States planted an estimated 70.1 million hectares, or 173 million acres, last year with corn, soybeans, cotton, canola, alfalfa and other crops that have all been genetically altered, the report said. That was up less than 1 percent over 2012 plantings.
In Brazil, farmers planted 40.3 million hectares, or 99.5 million acres to biotech soy, corn and cotton, up 10 percent over 2012, according to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA), a pro-biotech industry organization that annually releases a survey of biotech crop plantings around the world.
