(CNSNews.com) - A week before the U.S. Senate again grapples with the explosive issue of embryonic stem cell research, one of the most stunning reported advances in bio-technology in years comes from stem cells not harvested from human embryos but derived from a non-controversial source.
British researchers have for the first time grown part of a human heart, using "adult" stem cells derived from bone marrow, British media reported this week.
If trials in animals such as pigs and sheep prove successful later this year, the London-based team led by professor Sir Magdi Yacoub said such replacement tissue could be used in transplants for heart disease patients within three years.
Yacoub, professor of cardiac surgery at Imperial College, told The Guardian newspaper that a whole, functioning heart could be produced from stem cells within a decade, a goal he described as "ambitious ... but not impossible."
The researchers hope to grow a heart valve that will not be rejected by the patient's body - because the stem cells are the patient's own - and that will have a longer life than artificial (plastic or metal) valves currently being used in heart patients.
Using the tissue could ultimately preclude the need for a heart transplant, they said.
The researchers' achievements are due to be published in August in the Royal Society's Philosophical Transactions journal, in a special edition on "Bioengineering the Heart."
According to the U.N.'s World Health Organization, some 17.5 million people around the world died of cardiovascular disease in 2005 - 30 percent of all global deaths. Of those, an estimated 7.6 million deaths were due to coronary heart disease and 5.7 million to stroke.
The push to use stem cells to treat a range of diseases and injuries is at the forefront of modern bio-science endeavor, but the sourcing of the cells remains a pressing ethical issue.
Proponents of embryonic stem cell (ESC) research say cells from early-stage human embryos are likely to be the most effective and have the greatest potential to turn into many different types of cells ("pluripotency"), but the fact that the embryos are destroyed in the process makes the work highly controversial.
"Adult" stem cells from alternative sources, such as bone marrow, placentas, umbilical cords and nasal passages, are already reportedly being used in scores of treatments, and for many who oppose ESC research, this is the work that should receive more attention and more taxpayer funding.
Supporters of "adult" stem cell research also note that cells from a patient's own body do not share problems of rejection often experienced in the case of embryonic stem cells.
ESC research is being carried out in many parts of the United States, but largely with private funding, since President Bush in 2001 restricted federal funding to work on a limited number of then-existing ESC colonies.
Next Wednesday, the U.S. Senate is due to vote on a bill introduced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, mandating federal funding for ESC research.
The House of Representatives passed a similar bill last January but will also have to vote on the Senate bill before it can be sent to the president.
Bush has already pledged to veto the bill, as he did with similar legislation last year.
Another bill before the Senate next Wednesday is an alternative sponsored by Sens. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) and Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), seeking federal funding for stem cell research that would not harm embryos.
'Dubious notion'
The latest breakthrough, like many previous ones - including Australian trials that have reinjected patients' own stem cells into their hearts to repair damaged muscle tissue - uses "adult" cells, not embryonic ones.
But most media coverage of the news downplayed that fact, with the descriptor "adult" rarely appearing.
"As I always say: Most biotechnology is not controversial," bioethicist and Discovery Institute senior fellow Wesley J. Smith said in reaction to the news from Britain. "This is a wonderful example. Let us hope that the reality meets the dream."
Proponents of ESC research have frequently dismissed or downplayed the importance of "adult" cells.
Last year, the New England Journal of Medicine reported that while many hospitals around the world now routinely inject bone marrow stem cells into the blood vessels surrounding the heart to induce recovery of damaged heart muscle cells, the intervention offers little benefit.
In an article called "The Politics and Promise of Stem-Cell Research," NEJM deputy editor Robert Schwartz took issue with the White House position that "adult" stem cells offer far more promise than embryonic ones.
"The notion that adult stem cells have the same developmental potential as embryonic stem cells, let alone 'more promise,' is dubious," Schwartz wrote.
"There is evidence in laboratory animals that an adult stem cell can differentiate into a cell that normally belongs to a different/super /nosupersub lineage ... but such reports of a pluripotent stem cell that can transdifferentiate have been challenged," he said.
Meanwhile, at the University of Dusseldorf in Germany, scientists have found bone marrow stem cells useful in dealing with advanced cancer of the liver.
According to a study published in the April issue of the journal Radiology, some patients with advanced liver cancer cannot undergo surgery because removing the large cancer would leave too little of the liver - less than 25 percent - remaining to support the body's functioning.
Seven patients underwent a standard treatment involving diverting the blood supply from the cancerous part of the organ to the healthy part, while another six patients received that treatment plus an injection of liver stem cells taken from each patient's own bone marrow.
The latter six patients' livers grew twice as fast as the others, the doctors reported.
"Based on our results, we also believe that adult stem cell administration may be a promising therapy for regenerating livers damaged by other chronic and acute diseases," the journal quoted the study's co-author, Jan Schulte am Esch, as saying.

A NEW group has been set up to support patients with lung cancer and their carers at Airedale Hospital.
Claire Waddington and Sharon Longden, clinical nurse specialists, came up with the idea to help members meet other patients with the same condition and health professionals.
The group meets once a month in the lounge area of the hospital's education centre.
So far there have been talks about diet and nutrition, complementary therapies and financial help and advice.
"We set up the group with help from Macmillan Cancer Support and Bradford and Airedale Cancer Support following a pilot last year when we received feedback that it would be useful," said Claire
"Giving people the chance to speak to others diagnosed with lung cancer can make a big difference to how they're feeling and it can help to get answers to any important questions. The group will help us to develop our service to make sure we are meeting needs of our local community."
For more information contact 01535 294535 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Two hospitals in Sutton are to carry out investigations in relation to links with serial sex attacker Jimmy Savile.
The Royal Marsden in Sutton and Chelsea, and Queen Mary's Hospital previously situated in Carshalton Beeches, are among 19 hospital trusts that Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt announced would be investigated yesterday.
The Metropolitan Police passed information on the additional trusts to the Department of Health following a "document review."
Mr Hunt said he expected reports on visits by the late DJ to those hospitals by next June, bringing the total number of hospitals under investigation to 32.
Savile, a former BBC presenter of Top Of The Pops and Jim'll Fix It is believed to have abused hundreds of victims.
He died in October 2011 aged 84, a year before allegations that he had sexually abused children came to light.
A spokesperson for Epsom and St Helier University Trust said: "Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust can confirm that it has been passed information by the Department of Health regarding Jimmy Savile, which names Queen Mary's Hospital for Children (previously situated at Carshalton Beeches) for investigation.
"We will investigate this evidence thoroughly."
A spokesman for The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust said there was no evidence to support the Savile claim.
He said: "We have been passed information from 28 years ago by the Department of Health about Jimmy Savile.
"We have already carried out an initial investigation and we cannot find any evidence to date to support this information, or that Jimmy Savile has ever visited our hospital."

But they may reply that they would if there were jobs to be had. >>Wall Street vs. Main Street Is it about corporate greed?

US House: Shelly Madore, DFL
Why did you decide to run for this position?
I believe that we need to have real representation in Washington that reflects our true Minnesota values. If elected I will be that person: someone who will show up, stand up ,and fight hard for all of us, not just the special interests on Wall Street. I represent common sense, Main Street values.
The country is facing serious challenges -- high unemployment, rising health care costs, out-of-control spending, other economy issues, and a continuing high number of mortgage foreclosures. What should be done, in your opinion, to address them?
We must put consumers back into the driver's seat for their personal financial futures. We have allowed Wall Street to operate under the cloak of secrecy for too long. Consumer protection legislation, just passed, will go a long way to level the playing field and benefit consumers over corporate executives. We need leaders in Washington who will fight for Main Street Minnesotans, not pharmaceutical companies, CEO's, and special interest groups. Hard-working Minnesotans should have leaders who will work with them to maintain their homes and businesses. Leadership demands attention to local needs.
Currently, the country has little faith in, respect for, Congress' handling -- and resolving -- of the major issues. Can this be changed? Can members of both parties work together for the good of the country? How?
When elected officials focus on what's best for citizens instead of their own political career track, they can work together for the greater good. When deciding how to vote on issues, my filter is not Democrat or Republican. Instead I ask: will it keep someone in their home, will it help a small business keep a job and does it keep our community moving forward? I worked across the aisle when I served in the Minnesota House of Representatives and I will do the same in Congress.
What other challenges do you believe this country faces in the next several years?
Government is made by the people for the people. The challenges we face, we face together: from bringing our soldiers home to combating poverty to re-establishing the U.S as the world's economic leader. These are tough issues we face. We must work side-by-side to focus on building for the next generation to restore hope and prosperity to America. Each of these challenges demands job growth and a strong and vibrant workforce. As your congresswoman, I will focus on increasing jobs, providing a world-class education for all and delivering true consumer-based health care.
What makes you the best candidate for this position?
I care passionately about leaving a strong and vibrant Minnesota for our children and grandchildren. My experience in the Minnesota Legislature has given me insight on how to address these problems in Congress: including transportation, work force development, housing and building sustainable communities. In Congress, I will focus on delivering results to the citizens of this district.

Second Consecutive Victory For Audi At Daytona
Posted by: newsla on Jan 27, 2014 - 06:44 AM
Second Consecutive Victory For Audi At Daytona
For the second time in succession, Audi has won the class for production-based GT sports cars in the famous 24-hour race at Daytona (USA). And, like last year, the victorious Audi customer team kept spectators watching with bated breath in a dramatic finale.
Perfect debut for the new U.S. version of the Audi R8 LMS and the new Audi customer team Flying Lizard Motorsports: Nelson Canache jr. (YV), Tim Pappas (USA), Spencer Pumpelly (USA) and Markus Winkelhock (D) decided the inaugural race of the new Tudor United SportsCar Championship (TUSC) in their favor in a photo finish.
With 29 GT sports cars running, the GT Daytona (GTD) category featured the largest number of entrants in the field and was the most fiercely fought class in the iconic U.S. endurance race. The positions at the front kept changing and the customer teams of Audi, Porsche and Ferrari had chances of taking class victory up to the very end.
Following a late safety car period, the spectators experienced a final seven-minute sprint in which Markus Winkelhock, in a tough duel, prevailed against the Ferrari of Alessandro Pier Guidi, which had been leading up to that point. The Ferrari driver fiercely defended himself against the faster Audi R8 LMS and retroactively received a 75-second time penalty for his action.
ÂThis was an incredible race, IÂm absolutely speechless, said Romolo Liebchen, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. ÂI can understand the disappointment of the Ferrari team. But I share the opinion of the race stewards that Alessandro Pier Guidi went a bit overboard in his defense on the last laps. Markus was simply faster. On the whole, it was a great entrance for the new U.S. version of the Audi R8 LMS. We put a fast and reliable car for the new GTD class into the hands of our customer teams. Flying Lizard and the four drivers of the winning car made the best of it. Many thanks to all who made this fantastic success possible.Â
Following a restrained start and a few minor issues in the beginning, the new Californian Audi customer team launched an impressive recovery during the night that made the red-silver #45 R8 LMS advance position by position and rewarded the squad with its first lead on Sunday morning.
Filipe Albuquerque (P), Alessandro Latif (GB/I), Seth Neiman (USA) and Dion von Moltke (USA) showed a similarly strong performance as their team-mates and in the teamÂs sister car captured fifth place in class. After 24 hours, the quartet was trailing its victorious team-mates by only one lap.
The squad of Paul Miller Racing was beaten below its potential. Matt Bell (GB), Christopher Haase (D), Bryce Miller (USA) and René Rast (D) started the race from the pole position and set the pace for long periods during the first twelve hours. They lost their chances for victory during the night due to a water leak. After several longer pit stops, Paul Miller Racing had to settle for 16th place in class. A bit of consolation: Christopher Haase, after clinching the pole position on Thursday, also managed setting the fastest race lap of 1m 47.194s.
The two Audi R8 LMS cars of the Fall-Line Motorsports and GMG Racing teams did not make it to the finish. After just five laps, Charlie Putman (USA/Fall-Line Motorsports) on braking into Turn 1, lost control of his Audi in the fastest section of the track and spun backwards into a concrete wall. The rear-end section of the R8 LMS was irreparably damaged in the incident.
James Sofronas (USA/GMG Racing) was touched by an LMPC sports car in Turn 1 at the beginning of the seventh hour. The American spun off track and hit the wall of the pit lane exit head-on. Sofronas, like Putman, sustained no injuries but his R8 LMS was so heavily damaged that a trackside repair was impossible.
Quotes by the victorious Audi drivers
Nelson Canache jr.: ÂFlying Lizard Motorsports gave us four drivers a fantastic car. We werenÂt the quickest in qualifying but all along we felt we had a fast and reliable car for a 24-hour race. We were really tight on fuel at the end. It was a magnificent team performance.Â
Tim Pappas: ÂI was a late addition to the driver squad, so IÂm literally stunned to have scored my first Daytona victory. It was a privilege for me to watch Markus (Winkelhock) and Spencer (Pumpelly) as team-mates. Nelson (Canache jr.) and I did what was required of us in keeping safe and bringing the Audi back in one piece in our stints.Â
Spencer Pumpelly: ÂThis will always be the most memorable of my three Daytona wins. Watching the final 20 minutes was nail-biting and Markus (Winkelhock) did a fantastic job. Daytona was an enormous challenge for the Flying Lizard team with the new car and they did a phenomenal job. We had a fantastic car which allowed us to score an important win.Â
Markus Winkelhock: ÂIt was an incredible last lap. I left plenty of space for him to turn in at the kink but on the exit he left me no space and pushed me into the grass. I think the officials made the correct decision. Last year, I fought for the GT class win but ran out of fuel on the last lap, so itÂs great to come back twelve months later and win.Â
Race results (GT Daytona class)
1 Canache jr./Pappas/(Pumpelly/Winkelhock (Audi R8 LMS) 662 laps in 24h 01m 19.953s
2 Snow/Heylen/Seefried (Porsche) + 0.159s
3 Rotenberg/Zlobin/Mediani/Salo/Aleshin (Ferrari) + 13.919s
4 Tucker/Sweedler/Bell/Segal/Pier Guidi (Ferrari) + 1m 43.707s
5 Albuquerque/Latif/Neiman/von Moltke (Audi R8 LMS) - 1 lap
16 Bell/Haase/Miller/Rast (Audi R8 LMS) - 36 laps

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/6/2010 (2622 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Today wrapped up the preliminary rounds of Wine Access' International Value Wine Awards, meaning the behind-the-scenes folk are tabulating the scores and preparing new flights for the judges of the final rounds (of which I am one) as I type this. We managed to get through six sets of wine by lunchtime, meaning I had the afternoon to myself.
The dry rosé flight we started the morning with was uneven at best, and included a sweet pink Moscato, a White Zinfandel, a sparkling pink and a dog's breakfast of other grapes. Only one or two managed to impress. Next up was Grenache Noir/Garnacha (depending on where you're from), a group of nine reds that brought some renewed hope to our panel. Many Garnacha wines come from Spain, so it was some consolation that they were good relative to the outcome of the Spaniards' World Cup loss to Switzerland.
Viognier was up next — it's typically a fairly heavy, complex white wine with nice tropical fruit and spices on the palate. There were a couple of great ones, and one that brought some debate on our panel. It was very heavily-oaked and in a very commercial style, with heaps of oak aging — think of a big California Chardonnay's oak and you're on the right track. Myself and Gurvinder Bhatia, a fellow panelist, didn't like the heavy-handed use of oak on the wine, while panel leader John Szabo defended it admirably. A second panel that tasted the same wines were brought into the discussion, with two liking it and one deploring it. So we ended up 3-3 on the darn wine, deciding to put it through to the finals and let a larger group taste it again.
With only one red wine flight under our belt, we were surprised to get yet another group of whites - this time Gewurztraminer. They're often similar to In some ways they're like a lighter version of Viognier or a spicier version of Riesling, and our flight ranged from bone-dry and flinty (a personal preference, although the other judges didn't agree) to slightly sweet. We expected much more from this flight.
Next up was one lonely Italian Primitivo, which we tasted alone. I'm not really sure why. We put it through - maybe we felt a bit sorry for it. The final flight of the morning was a mixed bag of reds featuring such grapes as Pinotage (a South African variety), Xinomavro and Agiorghitiko (both Greek red grapes). The Pinotages failed to impress (maybe too many vuvuzelas on the brain), while some of the Greek wines were solid.
Random notes: The weather here has been terrible — rain and under 14 degrees Celsius yesterday and today... I didn't get lost today, which is always a plus... I did, however, go to the gym for the third day in a row. Before this trip I had never been to a gym, and figured with free passes available to the Kinesiology Centre facilities, this trip would be a good chance to "try before you buy". After a half an hour on the bike today and half an hour on the treadmill yesterday, I feel like I've been riding a camel...

Many of the announcements I read and hear are essentially worthless, because they don't answer the two fundamental question every recipient needs answered in order to respond.
Do you know what those two questions are?
Keep reading and I'll tell you…
Most people communicate from their own perspective.
Think about the announcements you receive this week – the verbal announcements in church, the company newsletters, the email from the person who leads the ministry or volunteer organization you're involved with. Most of those announcements are broadcast out to hundreds of people and essentially that person telling you what they want you to do to help them.
- Buy our product
- We need volunteers for this upcoming event
- Sign up now for…
Am I right?
What's odd is most of us don't respond to announcements like this, and yet we turn around and make the same kind of announcements to other people. Doesn't make much sense, does it?
The first thing we need to do is…
Think about our communications from the perspective our recipients
We are bombarded by requests all day long. Researchers say the average person is exposed to between 2,000 and 5,000 marketing messages a day. And yes, your announcement – even if it's a verbal announcement in church or an email to your ministry team – is a marketing message.
Since we're only capable of responding to a small number of those messages each day, we have developed strong mental filters that keep us from even considering the vast majority of these requests.
The first thing we must do in any announcement to make it effective is to engage the recipients mental filter. We do that by answering the first question…
1) Is this for me?
- Are you passionate about giving children a strong foundation of faith?
- If finances are causing you stress…
- Is your website hard to update?
These questions/statements immediately engage the filter of your recipients. Some people will realize the announcement is not for them and tune out. That's OK. But others will respond by thinking, "He's talking to me. I want to pay attention to this…" because you've identified a problem they have or something they want.
The reason you're reading this blog post is because when you read the title "Not Getting the Response You Want from Announcements?" something inside you said, "No, I'm not. This is for me."
2) What's my next step?
While there are some occasions in which an announcement is intended just to keep people informed, the purpose of most announcements is to rally people to take action.
To do that effectively, we must tell the exactly what their next step is.
An example of a bad announcement is, "If you'd like to volunteer, talk to Sue Johnson." What if I don't know who Sue Johnson is? When, where and how should I talk to her?
- If the next step is to contact someone, always include the method of contact and the contact info.
- If the next step is to go somewhere, explain when and exactly where that is in terms a newbie who is not familiar with your city or buildings will understand.
- If the next step is to sign up or buy something, explain how to do that.
This is true of every media – verbal, paper, email, website – but the specific next steps and how you explain them will probably be different depending on the media.
Take Action
If you've found the post helpful, would you do 2 things?
- Post a comment telling us about your announcements and what you're going to do differently.
- Do it!

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [SL] Oct. 24, 2008 Prospects Looking Good for Deer Season AUSTIN, Texas -- Hunters hoping for a shot at a quality deer during the 2008-09 deer season will need to get off the bench and into the game, suggest state wildlife biologists, as current range conditions indicate increased availability of native food sources. The general deer hunting season opens statewide Nov. 1. This change in deer feeding patterns could also have an impact on opportunity around feeders during the Special Youth Season weekend Oct. 25-26. The youth-only season is available to licensed hunters ages 16 and under. "It could be one of those years when it's not in the favor of somebody who doesn't like to leave the corn feeder," said Mitch Lockwood, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department white-tailed deer program leader. "We're getting reports, mainly from the Hill Country, that indicate another good acorn crop and it looks similar to what we had three years ago when the acorns fell in three stages, which should spread the drop over an extended period." Rainfall across much of the state in August helped quench parched country and recent rains have generated new plant growth biologists say should improve deer body condition heading into the season. "It is amazing how quickly these deer can recover," said Lockwood, alluding to drought conditions that extended across much of the state during the first half of the year. "We're not seeing the impacts from the drought we did 20 years ago, no major die-offs, thanks mostly to current wildlife management practices." Of course, nature also has a way of taking care of its own. During the 2007-08 deer season, Texas hunters killed about 512,800 whitetails, the lowest harvest in a decade and down more than 90,000 from the previous season. Lockwood attributes much of the harvest decline to extremely good habitat conditions, which meant deer did not need to travel much for food and water. "The thing to look for this season is carryover from last year because harvest was down quite a bit," he noted. "Harvest numbers and better age structure should be up this year, especially in those counties where we have antler restrictions." Here's what TPWD biologists around the state are saying about this year's prospects in their areas: South Texas You could have asked any of the TPWD wildlife biologists in South Texas back in March to predict what the fall hunting season would be like and most, if not all, would have given a marginal to fair outlook. "From the 2007 Labor Day Weekend through April 20, 2008 we received barely an inch of rain," said Jimmy Rutledge of the Carrizo Springs area. "While the entire South Texas region experienced this extended dry spell, the western portion was hardest hit by the drought." The effects were felt well into mid spring as many species of brush with shallow root systems, such as granjeno and hogplum were lying dormant in need of relief. Conditions such as this do not bode well for antler development or fawn production in white-tailed deer. Looking at recent conditions, however, it would be difficult to see any signs of drought conditions from this past winter and early spring. Hurricane Dolly dumped excessive rainfall in the lower Rio Grande Valley and contributed to abundant rainfall across the rest of South Texas throughout August, adding to some of the earlier rains that fell in July. Habitat has improved dramatically and will provide great benefits to many of the game species in South Texas. Across the South Texas region consensus is white-tailed deer antler quality may be good despite the dry spring conditions. Deer did not have to work hard to build up body reserve to support fawn rearing and antler development this summer. Rutledge expects white-tailed fawn survival to be above average with the improved range conditions and abundant cover. Hunters may expect to find a good number of 1 ½-year-old bucks as a result of a good fawn crop from 2007. Decent fawn crops from 2002 and 2004 should also result in a fair number older age class bucks in the 4 ½ or 6 ½-year-old categories. Despite the fairly abundant food resources as a result of the summer rains, the recent dry spell will encourage deer to utilize corn feeders. Thus hunters might have good harvest success this season. However hunters should not discount alternative hunting strategies instead of the old standby corn feeder. Look for well used trails or natural feeding areas to find deer, especially when trying to locate those older age class bucks that are wise to hunter activities. If you're a hunter looking for quality antlers, be cognizant of those ranches or hunting leases where population management and maintaining deer numbers below the carrying capacity of habitat is a primary concern. Well managed properties that have in place sound wildlife habitat management programs, practices, and plans usually reap the benefits during the fall hunting seasons. These examples of good land stewardship usually stand out during stressful times. Central Texas Rainfall amounts throughout Central Texas have been below average since early last fall when the faucet was turned off after the exceptionally wet spring and summer of 2007, according to Mike Krueger, TPWD district biologist in Kerrville. Deer did not come through the winter in as good as nutritional condition as they would have with a wet winter, so they undoubtedly were not in optimum condition when bucks initiated antler growth last spring and does were entering the last stages of pregnancy. "It continued to remain dry during the antler growing and fawn rearing period this summer and because of this, I expect fawn survival and recruitment will be below average," said Krueger. "Ditto with antler quality; I expect it to be below average and too late to salvage even though habitat conditions have improved somewhat in recent weeks." Body conditions heading into the season are improving, thanks to an unexpected acorn crop. "Nature is amazing in showing the ability to offset a set of poor conditions with a set of unexpectedly good conditions," Krueger noted. "A decent acorn crop can put some fat on deer this winter, but it would be too late to help improve this year's fawn production or antler quality." TPWD technical guidance biologist Mike Reagan in Wimberley had similar things to say about this season. "I am seeing a lot of acorns on most ranches in my areas," Reagan reported. "A lot of them began falling in September, but there seems to still be some on the trees. It should make hunting a little tougher. I also think antler growth will be below normal, but I have seen excellent antlers on some mature bucks. Yes, the fawn crop is well below normal in the eastern half of the Edwards Plateau. In most of this country the fawn crop ranged from 10-30 percent, but on some well-managed ranches it was more like 40-60 percent." In the western parts of the Hill Country, TPWD technical guidance biologist Joyce Moore in Harper had this to offer. "The far western Hill Country counties fared much better through the drought as they had more summer rainfall," she said. "Exceptional fawn crops of 60-100 percent are the norm in Sutton and Schleicher counties. As you travel east from Junction, however, fawn crops declined to about 40-50 percent. "Right now the acorns and a few recent showers are saving the deer herd, but I am telling my co-op folks that unless we get more rain, the winter will be very stressful," she pointed out. "I am hearing many reports of declining antler quality, except for the high-fence folks who are intensively feeding protein-they say their antler quality is much better than in 2007. They believe that a dry year actually causes the bucks to consume more protein feed rather than in a wet year when they would prefer native forage." Last year was the second year of antler restrictions in all or portions of seven Edwards Plateau counties (eastern Comal, eastern Travis, eastern Hays, Williamson, Bell, Coryell, and Lampasas). Post Oak Savannah The ample winter rains this past season and into the spring produced favorable range conditions throughout most of the Post Oak, according to David Sierra, TPWD district biologist in Tyler. As opposed to other parts of the state, rainfall was sufficient to maintain good range condition throughout the summer and set the stage for an above average deer season. "Mild weather conditions seem to have made life easier on the deer," said Sierra. "Excellent habitat conditions allowed them to forage less and denser vegetation provided more screening cover. And again, better range conditions will spread the deer over larger areas and not concentrate them in the bottoms and other prime habitats." Surveys suggest that deer densities across the Post Oak have remained stable or have slightly increased for the past 10 years. Harvest data collected during the 2007-08 deer season indicate yearling bucks (18 months old) comprised about 27 percent of the total buck harvest. Also, harvest data from the past few years suggest a trend of increasing numbers older bucks in the annual harvest. Health indices such as antler measurements and body weight for yearling bucks in the Post Oak have also been increasing over the past 10 to 20 years. This trend should continue this hunting season because the yearling bucks of this season was the fawn crop of the 2007 growing season, when good range conditions prevailed throughout most of the summer and winter. "With the mild winter, excellent spring, and the amount of summer rainfall deer this year should not experience the usual environmental stresses," Sierra noted. "This should allow them to put on more body fat and use the extra nutrition to express their full genetic potential. This coupled with the increasing numbers of older deer; hunters can expect to find better than average body weights and antler quality in the upcoming deer season. Deer will be in great condition, but somewhat harder to locate." Pineywoods Although the Pineywoods enjoyed similar ideal winter conditions as the Post Oak, East Texas lacked the spring and summer rains to maintain habitat. "It was looking pretty rough before Ike," said Gary Calkins, TPWD biologist in Jasper. "It was getting to the point where even the beauty berries were shedding leaves and the ponds were drying up. I had not seen it this dry in awhile." Calkins said the dry summer conditions will likely impact acorn production as some oaks were dropping acorns early. "Last year we had a really good fawn crop and carryover of older deer so we were set up age structure wise, especially in the northern counties," he noted. "All we needed was the weather for antlers and we could be okay because we were already through antler development when things turned dry." Those areas entering the third year of antler restrictions appear to be showing positive results, particularly in Rusk, Panola, Cass, Cherokee and Houston counties, and prospects are favorable for this season. North Texas Fawn crops are running between 30-40 percent across much of North Texas, which is even a little less than last year. While range conditions are improving slightly, according to TPWD biologist Kevin Mote in Brownwood, there isn't much growing season left and antler development has already occurred. "We expect about average antler development," Mote said. "We're seeing some nice deer but it's probably due to the carry over from last year's poor hunting season. We still expect to see increased numbers of mature bucks in our antler restriction counties but the quality may be less than we had hoped for." Not many forbs were produced this summer due to drought and for the most part, biologists are seeing a light acorn crop, which means deer should be a little more active as they travel to food and water. Coastal Marshes and Prairies Although range conditions had been dry to extremely dry in most of the area for the past several months, fawn production appears to be above average and antler production is going to be good, according to David Forrester, TPWD district biologist in LaGrange. "Since the acorn crop was a bumper one last year, we anticipate hunting conditions will be great this year with deer readily coming to feeders or food plots, thus making them easier to encounter," Forrester said. "Again, due to that awesome acorn crop last year, we experienced a down year in harvest numbers. This bodes well for more bucks out there this year -- carryover. Additionally, the fawn crop last year was a good one, so there should be plenty of yearling bucks this year." Panhandle Reports on big game species are generally good to excellent, said Danny Swepston, TPWD district biologist in Amarillo. Some of the northwestern counties were in a serve drought during the fawning season and fawn survival was poor in those areas. White-tailed buck antler development appears normal. Recent rains across the Panhandle should dramatically improved browse growth which will have an impact on body weights and antler development. Trans Pecos Most of the Trans-Pecos suffered an extended drought that lasted through last winter, spring, and half of this summer. Only in the last month have good wide-spread rains come to the Trans-Pecos, said Tim Bone, TPWD biologist in Alpine. Currently range conditions over much of the area are very good. "Because it was so dry during the spring and early summer, I expect only an average year at best regarding mule deer antler development," Bone noted. "However, if current forage conditions hold, mule deer in the Trans-Pecos should be in good body condition." --- On the Net: Texas Hunting: http://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/releases/news_roundup/texas_hunting/ -30- [ Note: This item is more than eight years old.

The general deer hunting season opens Nov. 1. Portions of Zapata, Starr, Jim Hogg, Maverick, Dimmit and Webb counties are under preventive quarantine for livestock by the Texas Animal Health Commission due to heightened levels of fever ticks outside the permanent quarantine zone along the Rio Grande border. The total affected quarantine area covers more than 1 million acres. Contact the land owner or manager to determine the current fever tick status, if you are hunting in these counties. Cattle, horses, white-tailed deer, nilgai and elk can act as a host for the tick, perpetuating its population. If not contained, according to TAHC officials, the fever ticks will continue to spread northward outside the permanent fever tick quarantine area and could become re-established in other areas of Texas and throughout much of the south, southeast and parts of California. "We're telling hunters to use common sense and take precautions when handling and transporting deer taken on ranches within the quarantine zone," said Mike Berger, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department director of wildlife According to the TAHC, fever ticks can affect the condition and general well-being, but are unlikely to cause death in deer. It is safe to eat venison from fever tick-infested deer. Deer harvested on infested, exposed, adjacent and check premises must be inspected, treated and permitted prior to being removed from the premises. If you kill a deer on other properties within the temporary quarantine areas, you have three options: --Remove the hide completely and leave it on the ranch. If the skull is needed for proof of sex, seal it in a bag, then dispose of the skull away from livestock or wildlife after the carcass is processed. --Freeze the hide for 24 hours. --Have the hide/cape inspected and treated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Fever Tick Force before removing it from the ranch. A permit for movement issued by a representative of the Commission must accompany the shipment of the hide and cape. "There is too much at stake here to take a chance on inadvertently carrying this deadly parasite outside the quarantine zone and we are asking hunters to be vigilant to help keep this tick from spreading," Berger stressed. Fever ticks are capable of carrying and transmitting a protozoa or tiny blood parasite that destroys red blood cells, causing the deadly livestock disease, "Texas Fever." Cattle are highly susceptible to "Texas Fever," and the disease may kill up to 90 percent of infected cattle. "It took more than 50 years to eradicate fever ticks from the U.S.," said Dr. Bob Hillman, TAHC executive director and Texas' state veterinarian. "We have taken extraordinary precautions against expansion of fever tick infestation into other counties or other areas of the Texas. Compliance with these measures is extremely important to prevent the spread of this dangerous tick." A permanent fever tick quarantine zone runs through eight South Texas counties along the Rio Grande to prevent the reintroduction of the ticks into Texas and the U.S. --- On the Net: Fever Tick Map: http://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/releases/media/fever_tick_map.pdf http://www.tahc.state.tx.us/animal_health/fevertick/fevertick.html#ticks -30- [ Note: This item is more than eight years old.

Q: My child is shy. How easy will it be to make friends?
A "Real Deal Parents Style" question
A: Living in the dorms encourages socializing and makes it easy to make new friends right off the bat. Most students bond with others on their floor, but classes, clubs, and campus events also provide plenty of opportunities for friendship. Whether their interests are culinary, political, athletic, or cinematic, students will find no shortage of social opportunities here at Ithaca. The most important thing is to get involved sooner rather than later.

Chef recruiters will place candidates such as head chefs, sous chefs, pastry chefs and cooks into kitchen vacancies within the catering industry. A top catering recruiter will work with establishments such as restaurants, pubs and hotels to fill cook openings on a permanent, temporary or seasonal basis.
The role of a chef is to work as part of a team to prepare food for customers; with candidates often being responsible for a particular food station such as fish, pastry, desserts etc. Duties will vary depending on the role within the kitchen, however general tasks may include cooking and presenting dishes, maintaining food hygiene standards and monitoring stock control. A head chef is accountable for the whole kitchen and will be expected to manage an entire team of kitchen staff. Recruitment agencies will need to supply candidates who are flexible and willing to work unsociable hours as shifts can be long and include weekend and evening work.
Candidates will commonly enter a position via an entry level role such as commis chef, before gaining experience within the various areas of the kitchen. Academic qualifications aren't necessary for the role, however employers will favour applicants with an educational background in catering or cookery. More specialist roles such as that of a pastry chef, may require specific training and job relevant credentials such as a Certificate in Professional Patisserie and Confectionery.
Salaries for chef jobs can vary but a trainee will usually command starting earnings of around £12K per annum. This will rise as candidates progress through the kitchen with a chef de partie earning an average of £16K and a sous chef receiving £22K. Head chefs are typically the highest paid professionals at £30K, while executive professionals can potentially command £50K+.
Although catering recruitment agencies will commonly recruit chefs and cooks for permanent jobs, there is also a high demand to fill seasonal and temporary roles. These may be supplied to local or UK wide clients depending on the agency.

Recruiter tip provided by Catermatch Solutions
Chefs you must always look the part, from the start of the shift to the end of the day. Your professional and hygienic appearance and work practices demonstrate how you produce and present your culinary skills and enhance your customers' perception and appreciation.
Jobseeker tip provided by Catermatch Solutions
The successful working kitchen is a very difficult and demanding environment. To operate effectively and to overcome the daily challenges you must be alert, organised and committed. The preparation, service and operation of the establishment is hard, hot and relentless, but with exceptional talent, team work, diversity and strength, the main goal of customer satisfaction is achieved.
Jobseeker tip provided by Catermatch Solutions
During an interview and probably a work trial scenario, be positive, presentable and alert. Try to get involved as much as possible and take on responsibility - to deal with requests, solve problems and assist in working operations. Prove that you have the skills and experience and the industry knowledge to perform the task and to be able to handle the job. Perform, cook and present to the best of your ability and don't shy away from the team.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
I am 100% dummie in webdesign but willing to come the whole way from the scratch to the end when website will be up and running. I am NOT going to do the work myself, there are many freelancers around, but I would really appreciate your help to split my work into chunks for better understanding and orders to freelancers.
The idea is to create a beautiful website about our Solar System with characteristics for each planet. I would like to have a breathtaking background of a Solar System which must be animated to show chosen planets. I see planets as a menu items. Once MARS is selected (for example) I would like to see an animated change of the main page theme showing MARS with it's characteristics and so on. So for example once I click on MARS menu button, planets start to rotate until MARS is not zoomed in. High-level idea, open for comments :))
My questions:1. I have decided to go for Flash because I like Flash websites with it's animation. I consider it might be a proper choice for my Solar System background which must be animated. Do you think it is OK to go with the flash and it would be most optimum technology for my purposes? I heard that Flash is dying.2. My main animated object - Solar System, should also be done in Flash or in other software and after that embedded into a flash website. How these things are usually done?
Grateful for your responses
Thank you!
Hi Royser12345. Welcome to the forums.
Do you think it is OK to go with the flash and it would be most optimum technology for my purposes? I heard that Flash is dying.
Flash is well suited for this sort of thing, but before you decide on that option, picture kids and others visiting your site on an iPad, iPhone etc. and getting a blank page. Flash is excluded from such devices.
This sort of thing can also be done with CSS and JavaScript, which is the preferred way now. It takes a fair bit of skill to do this well, though.
And whom do I need to hire for this job: web designer? Web programmer? Web developer? etc? Are those same things maybe?
Thank you for your responses!
You should probably get some graphics designs done in a suitable paint software first. Its a lot easier and less expensive to change a graphics design, and to tweak that until its right, than to change a web design. Also it may even be possible to use parts of your graphics design in your web design anyway. It will also help to communicate what you are thinking, and the way you envisage the web site working, with a web developer when you are ready to take it to that step.
Kiwiheretic, many thanks for advice! But can you please be a bit more specific. I am happy to start with graphics designs following your advice, but
Thank you very much for your answers
Ok, in response to your questions. A graphics designer creates graphics which are images but could also be animations depending on the skills of the graphics designer. A web programmer creates the interactive parts of the web application. For instance when you click a planet a popup might appear giving more information about that planet. Even revolving planets could be animated gifs and might be simply that unless you want the user to have control over the speed of the animation and then it will become more complex. So an animation where aspects of the animation can be controlled by the user would involve both graphics design and programming.
The graphics design covers any visual element and often includes @the shape and colour of any clickable buttons.
The choice of software to use you can leave open at this stage. It may be javascript and html5 or flash or silverlight. However you dont need to decide that in a hurry. You should think about who your target audience is first and that may help decide what technology to use. For instance ipad users can't use flash.
As far as I can tell there are no server side elements so that most, if not all, development concerns what happens in the browser.
In order to prepare to have this work done by a contractor you should consider breaking the project into milestones and then check the work is satisfactory to you at each stage. (You don't want to be stuck with a negligent contractor!) For instance:
Milestone #1:
Creation of single image backdrop of the night sky image on which to overlay planets.
Milestone #2:
Creation of planet animations
Milestone #3
Programmer to create information popups for planets
Milestone #4
Programmer to create animation controls for planets
That's just an example. Depending on what you need you may divide it up differently. Whatever you decide you do need to be able to track the progress of your project against your requirements.
I suggest sketching out the pages you have in mind. Look at other web sites that are similar to your own and borrow those ideas. Think of the navigation bar and what links you'll put in there to the other pages. The more detailed your sketches, the better the designer will know what you want to do.
Once you've got some good sketches, then you can show the designer, then it should be up to the designer to make the project breakdown and go over it with you for your approval.
Interesting definition of a "real graphic designer".
Oh well, I sometimes makes spelling mistakes.
Also I am not an American and often we spell words differently to how they do in your country anyway and its quite legitimate here.
Actually, this discussion is about "Graphical" Design work.I believe Graphics would be the plural of Graphic (from the Greek graphikos). In this context, the construction of 'several' graphical elements (as for a web page) could be called
Furthermore, such a set of visual elements could be created by a Graphics Artist who holds a degree in Graphic Design (or not).
StevenHu, very much appreciated your advice. Thank you. One question though, is there any software or handy tool other than pen and paper to come up with a website sketch? Actually I am more keen to the steps, advised by Kiwiheretic, since I don't think I will be able to properly judge whether approach advised by web designer, having seen my sketches, will be OK or not.
So, I think I will be posting a contest now on freelance website like:
"Create of single image backdrop of the night sky image on which to overlay an animated planets in the future (separate project)."? In addition, I will describe, of course, my view of the website, high-level, so potential freelancers know roughly what I am up to.
