Scattered thunderstorms and showers over the Arafura Sea are associated with a weak tropical low. Isolated thunderstorms and scattered showers over the Gulf of Carpentaria and northeast tropics of Queensland is associated with a broad area of low pressure in conjunction with a trough in the middle levels of the atmosphere.
Middle and high level cloud streaming across central parts WA is associated with a low pressure system located further to the west.
Cold air instability in the wake of a cold front in the Tasman Sea is producing some convective showers over parts of Tasmania. Another trough is triggering some isolated showers and thunderstorms in the northeast of NSW.

American shad (shad) were once highly sought in the Chesapeake Bay, prized for both their roe and flesh. George Washington was the most prominent American shad fisherman in the region, landing thousands of pounds on the Potomac River.
As an anadromous species, American shad (American Shad Fact Sheet) are most susceptible to capture during their spawning run. As pollution, loss of habitat and fishing increased, American shad populations began to decline. In 1980, the DNR closed the recreational and commercial fishery for American shad in Maryland waters. Also in 1980, the DNR initiated American shad research in the Susquehanna River.
In recent years, American shad have increased abundance significantly in the Susquehanna River bringing back the memories of the "good old days." In the last five years, the fish lifts at Conowingo Dam, the first dam on the Susquehanna River, have passed almost 130,000 American shad annually. The popularity of the catch and release fishery below Conowingo Dam has also increased significantly and now you may find yourself shoulder to shoulder with other anglers during the peak of the spawning run, catching up to 100 American shad per day.
Shad School brought together the history and cultural significance of American shad through hands-on activities, field trips and aquaculture. Originally designed by the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) and the DNR, students learned the American shad life cycle, identification and physiology. In addition, students handled other anadromous and catadromous (Eel facts) species, collected data that DNR fishery biologists collected and removed scales and otoliths (ear bones) for age analysis. In addition, the schools toured the Conowingo Dam fish passage structures including the east and west fish lifts.
The three schools involved in the program this year were Perryville Middle School and North Harford and Queen Anne's County High Schools. In early May, these schools received American shad eggs or fry which required daily care, feeding and testing water quality. Upon arrival at the schools, the shad fry were allowed to acclimate before they were released from the transport bags into the 30-gallon aquariums.
Brine shrimp had to be hatched and were fed to the shad three times a day. "Feeding American shad was groundbreaking for the schools", said Bob ("Mr. Bob") Sadzinski who led the project for the DNR, "because this was the first time in Maryland, shad have been kept for several weeks in classrooms requiring feeding." In general, when American shad are raised outside a hatchery they have not been kept longer than a few days because of feeding and water quality problems.
"We expected ten percent survival," said Tony Jarzynski of the DNR, "but on average we had 30% survival of the American shad fry!" Many of the fish that did die was because of the long ride between the hatchery and the schools.
In thank you notes sent from Perryville Middle School students to Mr. Bob after handling adult shad and young eels during classroom presentations, students said, "I liked having you come to our classroom but I could never work for you because of that fishy smell. Another student commented, "The thing I liked the most was holding the baby eels… they are so cute and cool". One other commented, "I want to thank you for letting us dissect fish, it was cool in a disgusting way."
Within the DNR, the Alosid, Aquaculture, and Fish Passage projects, while Maryland Sea Grant and Exelon Corporation (who manage Conowingo Dam) provided outside assistance with this project. Grants supplied by the Aquatic Resource Education Program (MD DNR) allowed for the purchase of required equipment for the schools (http://www.dnr.state.md.us/education/are).
At the American shad stocking ceremony at Deer Creek in Harford County DNR Secretary C. Ronald Franks said, "This program is exceptional not only for the thousands of American shad raised by these students, but also because of the lessons they have learned - the students, not the shad -- about the importance of restoring our natural resources. It's heartening to see them learn about a fish that is such a part of Maryland's culture. And it's even more gratifying to know that they are starting down a path of stewardship that will help ensure the protection and enhancement of our natural and living resources for generations to come."

Neighborhood faves I recommend are Mermaid Inn, Mary's Fish Camp, and Ed's Lobster Bar. Aquagrill is so overrated and passe- sorry.ReplyDeleteReplies
I suspect that many restaurants would love to be as "passe" as Aquagrill, based on their "26" rating, including Mermaid, Mary's and Ed's. I do agree that they are good neighborhood faves, however.Delete

Krabby is an interesting Pokemon to use in Little Cup, having an extremely high Attack stat as well as a very good base Defense. Krabby also has 2 excellent boosting moves in Agility and Swords Dance, a decent movepool granting it good coverage, and two very useful abilities in Shell Armor and Hyper Cutter. However, with the introduction of the item Eviolite, it has become tougher for Pokemon such as Krabby to sweep. Still, Krabby is capable of pulling off a sweep, and is an offensive threat which every team should watch out for.
Krabby can switch into a Pokemon it counters or whose attacks it resists and set up with Swords Dance or Agility as they switch out. This can prove to be dangerous for the opponent, since either will make Krabby extremely dangerous. STAB Crabhammer is a very useful tool to have, hitting many threats hard with good neutral coverage. Return has a high Base Power, and the combination of Water and Normal goes nearly unresisted in Little Cup. This set is useful as a late-game sweeper, taking out the opponent's weakened Pokemon.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set makes full use of Krabby's massive Attack and coverage to hit a wide range of opponents hard, outright OHKOing a large portion of the metagame. Because Krabby is so slow, it should focus on hitting the Pokemon switching in very hard and before switching out. Slowpoke and Ferroseed are no longer good counters to Krabby here, as they are decimated by Superpower and X-Scissor, respectively. Again, Crabhammer and Return provide Krabby with excellent neutral coverage, while X-Scissor and Superpower serve to hit Pokemon which take little damage from its other two attacks, Slowpoke and Ferroseed in particular. Superpower also makes Krabby a great check to Dragon Dance Scraggy.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Krabby's high Attack also makes it a great Choice Scarf user, as it can revenge kill a wide range of threats. With a Choice Scarf, Krabby hits 21 Speed, allowing it to outspeed every unboosted Pokemon in Little Cup. Once again, Crabhammer and Return grant Krabby great neutral coverage, allowing it to check a large number of Pokemon. X-Scissor allows Krabby to hit Slowpoke hard, making it a great coverage option. Because Krabby will now outspeed most of its opponents, Rock Slide is preferred over Superpower. Sheer Force boosts the power of Rock Slide, and is thus preferred over Krabby's other abilities, which are otherwise not as useful on this set.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Thanks to Krabby's high base Defense and good HP stat, it could run a defensive set with Toxic, Knock Off, and Crabhammer, but the absence of a recovery move and Krabby's abysmal Special Defense make this a bad option. Brick Break can be used over Superpower on any of Krabby's sets, but the drop in power is significant. Krabby can also run a Flail set with Focus Sash, but the ubiquity of priority attacks in Little Cup would make it a liability to Krabby's team.
Checks and Counters
Frillish is public enemy number 1 for Krabby, as it is immune to all of its attacks barring Rock Slide and X-Scissor, and OHKOes it with Energy Ball. Slowpoke and Ferroseed will wall Krabby if it doesn't run X-Scissor or Superpower, respectively. Ghost-types such as Gastly will freely Substitute on Krabby locked into Return. Fast special attackers can exploit Krabby's terrible Special Defense and turn it into seafood with ease.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Robert Rice
Elko M.S., social studies
Former students frequently drop by to visit Robert Rice or invite him to lunch, coffee, birthday parties, high school and college graduations. But this year was the first time, he says, that he was invited to the wedding of a former student.
"Not wanting to dwell on how old this made me feel," he recalls, "I had to ask why was I invited. I was told by the bride, 'Why wouldn't I invite my favorite teacher?'"
Touched by the praise, and by being included in such a personal event, Rice went on to have a wonderful time reuniting with former students and their parents at the ceremony. The bride also told him that she was becoming a teacher, and that he was partly responsible for her choosing that path.
Despite the numbers of students who continue to stay in touch, and others who Rice "checks in with" from time to time, he is surprised – and maybe a little amused – that any student would want to contact him after moving on. "They know that just because they leave my classroom, doesn't mean they've left my clutches!"
He is often "floored," he adds, that the former students still remember things that were done in class years ago. "And they know," he says, "how easy it is to get me to cry too."
A recent encounter that Rice admits drew some tears was related to a civics project that he has assigned for many years. The project requires students to pretend that they are 18 and fresh out of high school, and that they must live on their own for one month. Using the newspaper, internet and job and apartment guides, they must find age-appropriate jobs, apartments for rent, and transportation – then figure out to pay their bills.
As this school year began, Rice received an email from a former student. "She informed me that when her mom lost her job during the summer, they used my project to help budget their household," he says. "She let me know that my project played a large part in helping them through some pretty tough times."
Rice also has a gift for teaching history to his students, who say that he teaches in a way that is interactive and engaging and helps all students understand the material. More than one former student has stated that he or she was never interested in history until having Rice for a teacher.
"But he made history so fun," wrote one, "that I thoroughly enjoyed going to class. Now, almost five years later, I still attribute my love of history to Mr. Rice."
One former student called Rice "the most motivational and inspirational teacher I have had" in HCPS, and said he made her "fall in love with history." He teaches the subject with such enthusiasm, she wrote, that it makes students want to learn.
It was his passion for history that led him to the profession of teaching, says Rice – even though not all of his own teachers were good ones and some he described as "pretty terrible."
He credits Moody Middle School teacher Bonnie Geiger (now retired) with shaping the way he teaches middle schoolers.
"All through college, I was preparing to teach high school," says Rice. "When placed at Moody, I thought I was being punished by my advisor. Thankfully, Mrs. Geiger was there to show me that middle school was the best place for me to be.
"I still use her lessons and worksheets in my classes . . . 15 years later."
Rice drew praise from nominators not only for his skills in the classroom, but also for his participation in PTA and school pageants, and for supporting his students outside of class by cheering them on at after-school activities and athletic events.
Other students expressed appreciation for the tutoring, advice and listening ear he gave them. "He is always there to lend a helping hand to a struggling student," said one.
When another student was struggling with her feelings over losing a close relative, wrote a parent, she turned to Rice. "Mr. Rice had something about his caring for his students – not just their grades, but overall well-being – that made her think about life and that she still could exist among others and allow them to care."
Another parent wrote that Rice has a high-energy and creative personality that makes even typically-unmotivated students want to please him, adding that students also bond with Rice because he respects their individuality. "He seems to make a personal connection with every child he teaches," said the parent, who was echoed by a former student now in high school. "He is not only a phenomenal teacher, but a wonderful friend," wrote the student. "He still keeps track of my grades and makes sure I am staying focused, even though I am no longer his student. There is no way I could be as successful without him."
But the parents who have had multiple children in Rice's classes are perhaps his biggest fans, citing the turnaround they have seen in children who complained about school but began to love it, and the way his students talk about him years after leaving his class. "There is no other teacher that I know," said one, "[who can so] touch their students intellectually and inspire them with smiles on their faces."
One parent of several children said that Rice's impact has filtered down even to her four-year-old, who enjoyed and learned from the projects done by older siblings.
"I think," she wrote of Rice and his relationship with his students, "that he literally would be their mentor for life."

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

Hi Abdhomebiz the cupcakes, cakepop's and pie replica were all packed in boxes and traveled pretty easy! ALSO there was no need for (dowelling) with this cake, the pie replica was just a 10 inch cake textured and airbrushed :-) Thank you for the Super Sweet compliment! I have not been asked to grace any magazines although that sure would be exciting. I have only been at this for about 3 years and am self taught. I am not quite sure who BeverleyWay is???

WVU fell to 9-11 on the season and just 2-5 in the Big 12 Conference, as its hopes for postseason play continue to dwindle.
"When they picked us sixth in the preseason in the Big 12, I thought there was no way we'd finish that low," said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. "I thought our seniors would step up, because our seniors have always stepped up. Obviously, you think your freshmen are going to get better, and the three transfers are really going to add to our program. The reality is, none of that has happened, and we're 2-5.
"People don't want to hear that, but that's gospel truth."
KU took a 15-point lead within the first 11 minutes of the game, and the Mountaineers struggled to make a comeback for the rest of the contest.
Kansas shot 54.1 percent in the game, and despite missing 16 of its 34 free throws, was able to come away with the victory. Guard Travis Releford and center Jeff Withey finished with 15 points each. Guard Ben McLemore had 13 points.
The Mountaineers were led by center Aaric Murray who finished with 17 points. He scored most of his points from outside the arc, as the KU interior defense was just too tough to manage.
"I feel like they're beatable, and if we executed our gameplan and did what coach told us to do, we would've gotten a win," Murray said. "We killed ourselves."
WVU struggled with foul trouble on the inside, as all the forwards who played in the game but Murray had four fouls with more than four minutes to play.
Outside of Murray, point guard Juwan Staten was the only player to finish in double figures for the Mountaineers. He had 14 points.
WVU was outrebounded by nine, which was a surprise to Huggins. Kansas also turned the ball over 16 times. That led to 18 points for the Mountaineers.
"I don't know how it's a good game when you lose," Huggins said.
WVU, down by just eight at the break despite the poor start, cut the lead all the down to two in the middle of the second half.
West Virginia was able to close the lead in the second half, as Kansas struggled to find the offensive consistency it did in the first half.
Guard Gary Browne hit a jumper to make it 40-35. After a Kansas layup, Murray drained a three and Browne stole a pass and finished with a layup to make it just a two-point game at 42-40 forcing Kansas to call a timeout. Browne had four steals.
The Jayhawks scored out of the timeout, but a drive and layup by Staten made it a two-point contest again. Browne successfully took a charge, and the Mountaineers had a chance to lead or tie the game. A jumper from Staten hit off the rim, though.
Johnson hit a nifty layup on the other end to go back up by four.
A 7-0 run by Kansas made it 55-46, as the Mountaineers' offense seemed to stall. After a timeout by Huggins in which he spent most of it in the face of forward Deniz Kilicli, the Mountaineers were able to end the scoring drought with a layup from Staten to make it 55-48 with less than seven minutes to play.
"We came out and had a mental lapse, something we tend to do, and they went on a run. It was hard to comeback from that," Staten said. "I felt we had opportunities. Those big turnovers we forced were pushing us in the right way, and when we made it a two-point game I thought we really had a chance to win."
In the end, the Mountaineers just weren't able to keep up on the offensive end. They made just two field goals in the final four minutes.
"Everyday coach says we play how we practice … and he feels we don't go for a full three hours in practice," Murray said. "That's how we've been playing games. We don't play a full 40 minutes. I don't think we lost focus tonight, but we had too many mistakes."
Despite the 15-point first-half deficit, the Mountaineers went on a 16-9 run to end the first half to make it a game. West Virginia didn't score a bucket from the field in the first 7:24 of the game.
In the end, WVU didn't have a lead outside of the first 57 seconds of the game.
"They made shots and we didn't," Huggins said of the first 11 minutes.
WVU shot just 37 percent from the field and hit just four threes – all from post players.
The Mountaineers' bench outscored Kansas' 30-to-5.

In The Kitchen with Mrs. Renfro's
Posted by Katherine Watson | 04/16/2014
Mrs. Renfro's has been making salsa, condiments, and more for almost 75 years right here in Fort Worth. When they approached us about doing recipe videos with them we jumped at the chance. We produced three videos (the last of which has not yet been released) featuring seasonal foods that included a Mrs. Renfro's ingredient. Since they are family-oriented, we had them participate in the videos to add the human element that is vital to the Mrs. Renfro's brand. Given everyone's hectic schedules, we filmed all the videos in one 14-hour day in a kitchen in Granbury, TX. Our in house food stylist prepared all the food and one of our designers illustrated all the fonts and graphics. Enjoy!

Fargo mom, Katina Tengesdal, is releasedFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Katina Tengesdal is home tonight with her family, for the first time in 12-days, after spending the last week and a half in the Cass County Jail.
By: Kevin Wallevand, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Katina Tengesdal is home tonight with her family, for the first time in 12-days, after spending the last week and a half in the Cass County Jail.
The Fargo Mom who was ordered to jail for refusing a court ordered grandparents visitation plan, was finally released from jail this evening.
It has been an emotional night for Katina Tengesdal.
The biggest surprise - touching letters from her daughter, and a welcome home cake.
Katina, along with her Fargo attorney Joel Fremstad, walked out of the Cass County jail tonight around dinner time.
She had been behind bars since October 10th.
Once she arrived home, Katina was showered with gifts from her family, including a Homecoming Cake, and letters from her young daughter, welcoming her home, writing that she couldn't wait until they could talk, and in her own words "have time alone."
The 7 year old also took time today, to even make some of that precious hand-made artwork for her mom, as they all celebrated her release from court ordered jail.
Katina Tengesdal/Released Tonight: "fresh air feels really, really good. I can't believe it, I am excited, can't wait to hug my daughter, wait to get home, it is an awesome day, I was running out of hope, feeling down and just seeing the sky felt so good, can even describe it."
Joel Fremstad/Katina's Attorney: "We're happy that we've been able to have Katina been released and I know we'll be talking with the court and counsel for the next few days."
Katina's daughter did have supervised visitation with grandparents this afternoon.
A special legal fund has been set up to assist Katina.
More on that at WDAY.COM

What we are getting is Obamacare with more of the same, only worse.
What liberals should want is a single-payer system where the government collects the taxes or prints the money and gives everyone health care.
What conservatives should want is a free-market medical system where individuals own catastrophic medical insurance policies and pay for most of their medical care out-of-pocket.
Conservatives seem to have no idea on how to get us there. Here is how. End the income tax. Without tax incentives to job-based medical care, people would soon move to individually owned medical insurance policies.
End the Federal Reserve Bank and no more inflation. Today a dollar is worth about a nickel compared to its worth in 1913 when Congress founded The Fed. Once the dollar is stabilized, people's savings would be worth more so they would tend to move to high-deductible or catastrophic medical care policies.
There you have it, end the income tax and the Federal Reserve Bank and a free market in health care would spontaneously develop.

Enhanced Salsa
Have you seen this video yet? If you haven't, click on over to Vimeo and watch (can't embed, for good reason). If you have, I'm pretty sure you would click on over to watch it again, just for fun. I would. Heck, I will. Be right back.
Okay, so. Amazing, right? I was absolutely stunned when I watched that video the first time, and I didn't even comprehend that it was a site takeover until I watched the entire page swirl back into the salsa jar at the end. I had to watch it again (and again, and again) to catch the genius animation that snuck onto the screen, from the vines that creep up from the bottom to the slicing up of the Vimeo logo when the girl steps out of the frame to dance around the background. It's interesting how much I have to force my brain to see the subtle shifting of the video frame and background zoom-in, since it didn't even register the first few times I watched. This was more than an advertisement…viewing this was an experience. And even though I don't like tomatoes or site takeovers, dang it if I don't want to crack open a jar of salsa right now.
But aside from making me really hungry, the video also made me think of how certain media is presented to allow for an experience, to make the technology behind it disappear. That oh-so-smooth transition from "video on a video hosting website" to "Salsa Show!" was clutch to making me view this as more than a 40-second clip about a vegetable I really couldn't care less about and something I wanted to click away from. Movie theaters are certainly designed to be invisible, and I think physical books are as well, providing only the turn of a page as the sole interruption between the written word and the reader's imagination. Even then, that interruption is the mark of a good book: a "page-turner." With the boom of electronic reading devices, it's important to keep this feature in mind; which device will allow you to have an experience with a book, to make you want that salsa and nothing else, and then give it to you?
In the ramp-up to the iPad announcement, the internet ate up every little rumor and spit out post upon post of speculation about the features, capabilities, and technical specifications of the mythical creature. Then both during and after the event, many found themselves underwhelmed by the lack of glitter (No flash! No camera! That name!). Adam Frucci over at Gizmodo listed 8+ things that suck about the iPad, considering the lack of multitasking to be "a backbreaker." But Joanne McNeil argues for the lack of multitasking in both the iPad and other devices because it solidifies the reading experience. The New York Times's David Carr, as well as Jon Gruber at Daring Fireball, also noted the iPhone and iPad's ability to, as gadgets, disappear, leaving as little as a finger swipe (page turn) between the user and the content. Similarly, while the Kindle can't do much else, it certainly lets you read. What others may consider faults in these devices, readers should appreciate as features for creating a reading experience.
Now, as for what content is necessary for an experience, I'm not sure. That's a whole 'nother ballpark, but I think Kassia Kroszer hits one over the fence with her "What Are Enhanced Ebooks?" post. Now that we have the technology that allows us to create such enhancements and focus on them when reading, we need to actually deliver good salsa.

Ruben Amaro Meets with Phillies Beat Writers Concerning Articles in Sunday's Inquirer Now with video from meeting
May 20, 2012, 3:56 PM EDT
Like many of you, I came across Bob Brookover and Frank Fitzpatrick's articles in Sunday morning's Inquirer on Ryan Howard's rehab down in Clearwater and thought they might cause a stir. Turns out they did.
You can read Brookover's full piece here, but the basics are that he was twice removed from Bright House Field last week, as the Phillies are attempting to keep Howard's workouts media-free. Needless to say, Brookover wasn't happy with the treatment and the article isn't exactly "pro-organization" in its tone.
Fitzpatrick's piece, on the other hand, is a bit more problematic, as it questions the Phillies' rationale for administering a cortisone shot to Howard last September and how that decision may have contributed to the rupture of his Achilles just three weeks later.
On Sunday, Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. — who is quoted in Brookover's piece as saying he's "uncomfortable" with having a player's rehab become "a public issue" — addressed the team's beat writers and denied that the team had endangered Howard's health.
ESPN's Jayson Stark offers these tweets on the media's access to Howard:
Ruben Amaro on #Phillies efforts to keep Inquirer reporter from seeing Ryan Howard rehab: "Not trying to hide things. That's not our job…"
— Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) May 20, 2012
Amaro said #Phillies just want to make sure Howard "gets ready at his own pace without having (media) people get involved."
— Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) May 20, 2012
As for the cortisone controversy, Amaro firmly denied that the shot and Howard's injury were related.
"We're probably one of the most conservative clubs in baseball in administering treatment, and we always want to make sure we have the player's best interest."
Inqy Phils scribe Matt Gelb, an obvious colleague of Brookover and Fitzpatrick, wasn't exactly thrilled with the reaction and pointed out how the Phils could have been out in front of this story, rather than behind it:
The Inquirer offered the Phillies plenty of opportunities to comment before stories ran. Now team and Amaro cries foul.
— Matt Gelb (@magelb) May 20, 2012
Gelb also mentions in a separate tweet that "they," the Phillies, are more upset with the implications in the cortisone story than the access story.
He frames the dispute as the Inquirer merely attempting to report on the rehabilitation of a player who, he reminds us, is owed $125 million.
Much in that same vein, Brookover wrote in his piece:
This isn't the first time local beat writers have taken issue with a team's front office over access to specific players, but those matters have more involved a certain hockey team. In previous discussions on these issues, many of you have commented that you've been less concerned with the media's perceived slights and more concerned with success on the field/ice/court.
That said, if the Phillies don't have anything to hide, and I'm not saying they do, is it unreasonable to expect reports on the recovery of a star player?
Assuming the Inquirer did offer the Phillies a chance to comment on both articles, the club could have squashed some of this in advance without having to do damage control after the fact.
There's a number of issues at hand here, including some real petty stuff back and forth about the difference between media access during spring training versus rehabilitation stints in-season, but where do you stand on the Phillies controlling the coverage of an injured superstar?
Update: Courtesy CSNPhilly.com, who has it via NBC10′s Howard Eskin, this cell phone video of Ruben Amaro addressing reporters at the meeting:

text: In the biotrophic phase of rice blast disease, Magnaporthe oryzae secretes cytoplasmic effectors, which are delivered across the rice plasma membrane into the host cytoplasm, and apoplastic effectors, which are retained in the extracellular compartment between the fungal wall and the rice plasma membrane. Secreted cytoplasmic effectors preferentially accumulate in the biotrophic interfacial complex (BIC), a novel in planta structure that locates beside the tip of the initially filamentous invasive hypha and remains beside the first differentiated bulbous invasive hypha cell. In contrast, secreted apoplastic effectors uniformly surround the bulbous invasive hyphae that grow to fill the invaded cell. We report live cell microscopy of invasive hyphae expressing various fluorescent secretion machinery components and various fluorescent effectors. Localization of Spitzenkörper and polarisome markers confirmed distinct growth and secretion patterns for the filamentous and bulbous invasive hyphae, and suggested that secretion into BICs continued while invasive hyphae grew elsewhere in the host cell. Disruption of the conventional ER-Golgi secretion pathway by Brefeldin A (BFA) treatment blocked secretion of apoplastic effectors, which were retained in the ER, but not secretion of cytoplasmic effectors. Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching experiments confirmed that cytoplasmic effectors continued to accumulate in BICs in the presence of BFA. Pathogen mutants that failed to express either of the exocyst complex components MoExo70p or MoSec5p, or the t-SNARE MoSsoIp were defective in secretion of BIC-localized effectors, but not apoplastic effectors. We suggest a model in which exocyst and SNARE complexes play a role in the secretion of cytoplasmic effectors into BICs by an unconventional, Golgi-independent secretory pathway.

Women's necklaces & pendants
Of all jewelry, the necklace is most versatile. From the boldest pendant to the most delicate chains, a necklace makes a statement in an instant, and can transform a whole outfit with one clasp. Go upscale with a designer necklace, diamond necklace or pearl necklace, or wear a simple silver strand; make a major statement with a bib necklace studded with gemstones or opt for a long chain with a simple pendant; layer necklaces on top of each other or choose a basic choker; get playful with Lucite links, colorful beads, girlie collar necklaces or a quirky charm. Your only trouble will be finding storage space for all the amazing jewelry, necklaces included, that you'll find at Gilt for unbelievable prices.

TOTAL ARRESTS NEAR 500: Eighty-four demonstrators were arrested by the N.C. General Assembly police on Monday, bringing the total since April 29 to more than 480. Holly Jordan, 29, a teacher at Hillside High School in Durham, said she decided to get arrested on Monday because she was thoroughly upset with the education policies and budgets proposed. She knew that some of the Republicans had described their naysayers as "aging hippies" and "outsiders" who considered it "en vogue" to get arrested.
TODAY AT THE STATEHOUSE: The Senate will take a final vote on its tax plan, and send it to the House. The two chambers remain far apart on how to cut taxes. The House will consider Gov. Pat McCrory's transportation funding bill. In committees, House lawmakers will consider a bill to raise the speed limit to 75 mph on certain roads and a bill requiring cursive -- which is likely to be remade entirely at the last minute, given a similar bill passed earlier this session. Senate lawmakers will meet in committees to consider a bill requiring background checks on those who receive some public assistance and another measure to roll back energy efficiency regulations on building to 2009 levels.
Gov. Pat McCrory will visit another rotary club, this time in Winston-Salem, before meeting with unidentified business leaders in a private meeting at Womble Carlyle, a law firm that also has a lobbying practice.

I'm using RoboHelp 9 (via TCS 3.5) and something recently started happening with the Search functionality (or I didn't notice previously), but it seems like RoboHelp is returning search results based on the Headings or Titles only. In other words, I'll search for an odd keyword that I know is in the body of topic, but I'll get "No Results Found" or if the word is in a title/heading, that's the only search result (even though I know it exists elsewhere in the body of various topics).
Have I missed some sort of global check box or project setting somewhere along the line that restricts the search methodology? Perhaps to Headings/Titles only?
Feeling like a bit of a doofis right now.
There's no setting I know of that will limit the search to just headings.
Put the word redrabbit into one topic and see if that is found.
What is the word you are searching on?
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
Hey Peter.
I don't need to do the "redrabbit" test since I've already searched on a variety of unique words that I know to be in a few of the project topics.
This has only started happening recently.
I recently made a tweak to my TOC (in order to get it to open with all parent-level topics displayed) where instead of being under one parent-level topic . . . they're all on the same heading level now. I wonder if that did something though I don' t think it should matter to the search functionality.
Is this a merged projects help system? That may have an impact on how searching is working.
No, it's not a merged project.
I checked another project and it seems to work fine.
I remember having that "Null" problem with searching a while back (in case you're familiar with it . . . it's described here in the forums), but I can't imagine it's related.
I am trying to prove the problem is nothing to do with the words you have chosen. Are the search terms used in the working project the same as the non working project? Sometimes we have seen posts about search not working and the answer turns out to be the search includes something that is giving grief, hence suggesting redrabbit.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
I realize that. Since I've already tried a variety of words, I didn't see that it would matter if I attempted to find yet another 9-letter word.
So to further the discussion a bit:
At the moment, I'm currently reviewing the contents of thse various RoboHelp JavaScript files, but since I don't know what I might be looking for, that's kinda where I am at the moment.
Do you have another machine that you could generate the help on?
If you create a new layout, not a duplicate, does that work?
Are you generating to your local drive?
This is when you test the help independently, not just when it is called from an application?
If that does not get you anywhere, can you share the project with me? See my Contact page to send.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
Thanks, Peter . . . lemme see if I can answer your questions and then we'll take the next step of zipping up the files.
In the meantime, I'll try to share the project. Again, I'll reiterate that this seemed to only start happening somewhat recently. Can't quite put my finger on what might have triggered it or served as the catalyst . . . if anything.
New Layout - I meant create a new layout in the SSL pod.
Right click in the pod and select New (not a duplicate).
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
Apologies for the delayed response, Peter.
I see what you mean now. I did create a new layout and there was no change in behavior.
This is also happening with a new project that I just created, so perhaps I'll zip that one up since it's much smaller than the other one that triggered this post in the first instance.
One nuance to add:
The search seems to only look at Heading titles (as originally mentioned) and referenced PDF files (or at least tries to).
OK. Send the new one as described on the Contact page of my site. Please include a link to this thread.
I hope to look at it tomorrow.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
Create a new webhelp layout, not a duplicate. The layout is corrupt.
I generated a CHM and found that worked so I suspected the layout. Right click in layout pod and select Create New. The search then works.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
I've already created a new layout a couple of different times (once for AIR and also WedHelp) and it still only finds words in the titles. Mind you, I haven't created a CHM file.
As I have just replied to you offline, when I searched on a unique word that was only in the body, the term was found with a new layout but not using yours. New and Create Duplicate are not the same in case that is what you did.
Search opens topics, it does not take the user to the first instance of the search term.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
I stand corrected, it should open the topic so that the first instance is visible.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
Peter and I had several email exchanges outside of this forum and after various attempts of creating new layouts, I think I had a breakthrough with the root of the problem being related to the Master Page file (.htt) or possibly a corrupt one.
I had a sudden whim and decided to remove my existing Master Page file (.htt) just to see if the behavior might change. Not expecting anything noteworthy, after compiling, the Search functionality behaved as expected and designed. I was a bit gobsmacked.
So I renamed the "old" Master Page file and then created a new one and now everything is fine and dandy.
Based on the smoking gun evidence, I'll venture a guess and say the culprit or problem may have been centered on something amiss with the Master Page file. I can't say with absolute certainty, but that's my current theory.
However, I should mention that although the Search now works and brings up all relevant topics that contain a particular search word, the system (or RoboHelp) won't highlight the text/word within the body of the topic even though it does when I view the output locally. And yes, I have selected the "Enable highlight search results" check box. Oh, well.
Thanks again to Peter for his tireless efforts in offering his assistance.

These are trusted reviews from guests who have actually stayed here. We hope you find them helpful.
Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- " Generally pleasant experience. Helpful staff; very accommodating in several languages and knowledgeable about the area. My phone charger was stolen by one of the other guests in my room; not the fault of the hostel or the staff, just passing along the advice to not leave any of your belongings lying around. Some loud kids in the common areas and hallways, but I guess that's to be expected in a hostel. I was still able to sleep at night and enjoy my trip without spending too much money. "
