Philadelphia -- Each year, about 40,000 children are born infected with human cytomegalovirus, or CMV, and about 8,000 of these children suffer permanent disabilities due to the virus - almost one an hour. These disabilities can include hearing loss, vision loss, mental disability, a lack of coordination, and seizures. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CMV is as common a cause of serious disability as Down syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, or neural tube defects.
Because of the dangers posed by the virus to infants, the Institute of Medicine has declared that development of a CMV vaccine should be one of the highest priorities for vaccine makers. Now, in a new study in the August 1 issue of The Journal of Virology, researchers at The Wistar Institute outline an innovative approach that could be used to create such a vaccine.
The Wistar scientists began with the observation that mice harbor a species-specific form of CMV that is unable to sustain an infection in humans and is completely harmless to them. They then asked whether, using recombinant technologies, there might not be a way to shift the mouse-specific virus closer to the human-specific virus to generate a version of the virus able to elicit a protective immune response but not a dangerous infection in humans.
With this goal, the researchers began to systematically introduce selected genes from human CMV into the genome of mouse CMV in the laboratory. The result was a novel form of CMV virus that infected human cells well enough that it might trigger an immune response but not well enough to sustain an infection.
"It should be possible to develop a safe and effective CMV vaccine using the method we've described in our study," says Gerd G. Maul, Ph.D., a professor in the Gene Expression and Regulation Program at Wistar and senior author on the new study. "Success will depend on achieving a certain balance between the immune-stimulating genes from the human virus and the basic safety of the mouse virus."
Over the years, a number of scientists have worked to create a vaccine against human CMV. Among these is former Wistar researcher Stanley A. Plotkin, M.D., who during his career at the Institute between 1960 and 1991 developed the rubella vaccine that eradicated the disease in the U.S. and co-developed a new rotavirus vaccine approved in the U.S. in 2006. Plotkin's approach to developing a CMV vaccine was to attenuate, or weaken, human CMV, as he had done to create the rubella vaccine. In contrast, the rotavirus vaccine was developed using co-infection techniques to incorporate selected elements from several human rotavirus strains into a bovine rotavirus backbone. The vaccine that resulted takes advantage of the immunological characteristics of both the human and bovine viruses. This approach is conceptually similar to Maul's strategy for developing a CMV vaccine, although the recombinant technologies available today should help to streamline the task.
CMV infection is widespread in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Between 50 and 80 percent of adults are infected with CMV by the time they reach 40 years of age, but the virus generally poses little threat to them. The exceptions are AIDS patients, transplant recipients, and others with compromised immune systems are at risk for complications. The virus is a member of the herpes virus family, which includes the herpes simplex viruses, the viruses that cause chicken pox (varicella-zoster virus), and infectious mononucleosis (Epstein-Barr virus.) Infectious transmission is via body fluids.
The lead author on the study was Qiyi Tang, Ph.D. Support for the research was provided by the National Institutes of Health, the G. Harold and Leila Y. Mathers Charitable Foundation, and the Commonwealth Universal Research Enhancement Program of the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
The Wistar Institute is an international leader in biomedical research, with special expertise in cancer research and vaccine development. Founded in 1892 as the first independent nonprofit biomedical research institute in the country, Wistar has long held the prestigious Cancer Center designation from the National Cancer Institute. Discoveries at Wistar have led to the creation of the rubella vaccine that eradicated the disease in the U.S., rabies vaccines used worldwide, and a new rotavirus vaccine approved in 2006. Wistar scientists have also identified many cancer genes and developed monoclonal antibodies and other important research tools. Today, Wistar is home to eminent melanoma researchers and pioneering scientists working on experimental vaccines against flu, HIV, and other diseases. The Institute works actively to transfer its inventions to the commercial sector to ensure that research advances move from the laboratory to the clinic as quickly as possible.

Olympic Viewing: Sagging ratings, Costas to rescue
Highlights from television coverage of the Sochi Olympics:
STOP, ALREADY: Christin Cooper's interview with Bode Miller after he tied for a bronze medal in the men's super-G ski race was a shameful spectacle. Cooper repeated essentially the same question - a variation of `how does it feel?'' - again and again and again until she not only drew tears, but a complete breakdown by Miller over the death of his younger brother within the past year. It was tone-deaf and cruel, and short-circuited the thoughtful, intelligent perspectives Miller had started to offer until he couldn't talk anymore. It's even more inexplicable that NBC felt the need to show it all; it wasn't live.
RATINGS: After a quick start, NBC's ratings for the Sochi Olympics are fading. Saturday night's prime-time telecast was seen by 17.1 million viewers, the smallest audience so far and smaller than any night of the Vancouver Olympics in 2010. The Saturday telecast opened with the compelling story of the U.S.-Russia men's hockey game, but things quickly went downhill, and there were few notable performances by Americans to keep home team fans interested. The comparable Saturday in Vancouver had 26.7 million viewers, and the Turin Games in 2006 had 19.7 million. The hockey game on the NBC Sports Network was seen by an average of 4.1 million people, swelling to 6.4 million during the shootout, strong numbers that indicated how word spread quickly about what was going on.
EYE ON COSTAS: Ol' Red Eyes is coming back! NBC said that Bob Costas will return Monday night as host of the network's prime-time telecast. Matt Lauer filled in one last time on Sunday. That means Costas will have missed seven days because of a stubborn infection that reddened first one of his eyes, then the other, and left him sensitive to light.
WEIR WARDROBE WATCH: Skating analyst Johnny Weir had a bright green jacket with white shirt, and a green and gold headband. Or maybe it was a tiara.
ICE DANCING: Weir is warming to his job, firing off some good lines during the ice dancing competition Sunday. ''They sold that program like the rent is due tomorrow,'' he said of one pair. ''With ice dancing being the peacock of our sport, we need some plumage,'' he said, urging Americans Madison Chock and Evan Bates on.
BAD MEMORIES: Must not have been very enjoyable for Russian hockey federation boss Vladislav Tretiak to be interviewed by Al ''Do You Believe in Miracles'' Michaels on NBC. Four of the seven questions dealt with what had to be the worst day of Tretiak's playing career, when the Soviet Union lost to the Americans at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics and he was inexplicably pulled as goaltender after the first period. One of the other questions was about Saturday's U.S.-Russia game, surely another fun topic. Tretiak handled the interview with grace, even crediting the 1980 U.S. team for doing a lot for U.S. hockey.
FREE FALLIN': Wiped-out snowboarders were strewn all over the course on Sunday's snowboard cross competition, including America's hard-luck Lindsey Jacobellis. NBC's Todd Richards said that ''total chaos and unpredictability'' is the essence of the sport. Is that really the case? Were the soft snow conditions created by the warm weather making things more difficult? Was it an unusually difficult course? Seems like those questions should have been considered.
HOCKEY HANGOVER: NBC's hockey team was quick to call out the U.S. men for looking energy-deficient during part of the game against Slovenia on Sunday, probably a natural hangover from the previous day's excitement. The announcers were a little less inviting to the nonhockey fanatics, with repeated references to a ''natural'' hat trick without explaining the phrase. We'll assume it has nothing to do with hairstyles.
DESIGNERS NEEDED: The uniform designer for the U.S. speedskating team and the guy in charge of Norway's skis certainly took a lot of pressure off the person who made that nonfunctioning snowflake in the Sochi opening ceremony.
CURLING: Was it just us, or were there some long, lingering closeups on competitors in the Russia-Sweden women's curling match?

(visited by Joseph Kerski)
01-Apr-2007 -- As I had been in St Louis for 4 days teaching at the National Science Teachers Association conference, a confluence visit seemed like the perfect way to end the trip. We at ESRI operated a large geospatial zone in the exhibit hall, promoting spatial technologies for the over 8,000 teachers who attended, as well as in our three Geographic Information Systems-based workshops. Upon the conclusion of these events, I rented a car while it was still dark, and visited 38 North 89 West when the sun rose. On my way back to St Louis from south central Illinois, my goal was to make a quick stop at 38 North 90 West.
With confluence hunting, however, there is seldom a "quick stop." To begin with, I had no map to navigate from 38 North 89 West to 38 North 90 West. I used the general maps in my GPS unit and those that came with the rental car, and ended up having a wonderful morning. I passed through DuQuoin with its old-fashioned fairgrounds, then west on Illinois State Highway 154 at Pinkneyville, then west-southwest on Highway 150, when things became even more interesting. First, early spring brought an ocean of dandelion color to the fields and a bright green to the treetops, and the day was sunny and glorious. Second, I found an alternative radio station from St Louis that played acappella music, and then old-tyme western music, and it was delightful to tool along listening to "Rattlesnake Blues." Third, I was in some of my favorite terrain as I neared the confluence--river bottomlands. These areas are seldom in the news, except during flood events, and they were peacefully quiet this Sunday morning.
I drove north on Highway 3, west on Highway 7, and crossed the Kaskaskia River. I passed a road that I thought was the Lock and Dam Road, turned around, and traveled south on it. It was a 2 tire track that followed the river's levee. I was driving a rental car with a low clearance, and so I drove on the side of this track to avoid scraping bottom. As I came to the railroad crossing, I could see the road was becoming worse. However, there was no space to turn around. Well, there is usually an adventure to be had in each of these confluence journeys, and this was certainly it. As I continued south, I realized that Lock and Dam Road was really in the river bottomlands to my right (west), and that up ahead, I could reach it. Once I did so, I drove northwest on it, and then southwest on Flinton Station Road.
I turned left on the road that crossed the combination drainage ditch and bayou, passing the farming outbuildings, and recognized the site from those who had journeyed here before me. I exited the vehicle, expecting it to be the end of the adventure. My second surprise of the trip now began. I was not on the confluence! I realized that it would be over the embankment toward the bayou. Expecting to lose signal, I took a few photographs from my current position before plunging over the edge. It was a bit thorny but not too difficult. Now I was in another world, away from the fields, and except for the field in the distance, it looked similar to what it could have looked like hundreds of years ago. The sun reflected off the water, making it a lovely spot. To the southeast I startled a beautiful heron, and to the northwest, something large was moving in the water. I stood for awhile, trying to capture it with the camera's zoom. It was definitely not a fish, perhaps a river otter. I ambled around and determined that the confluence was less than a meter from a medium-sized tree. I was surprised to actually zero out the unit and manage to photograph the moment, but the early season when the trees were not in full leaf undoubtedly helped.
I gazed about me. I was on the meridian. Not just any meridian, but halfway between the Prime Meridian and the International Data Line! The confluence lies on fairly steep ground, in the Mississippi River floodplain, sloping 30 degrees to the northeast, about 7 meters from the bayou's waterline, and 4 meters from the road above. The temperature was 65 F (18 C) under clear skies with an ever-so-slight breeze; a beautiful spring morning. I could see a few farmhouses to the northeast. I saw no people or vehicles. The confluence is not far from St Genevieve, Missouri's oldest European settlement, dating from around 1730. It is refreshing to be out in the country.
I had been to 38 North several times before, in Virginia, Illinois, Colorado, Utah, and California. I had been to 90 West twice before, in Illinois and in Louisiana. This was my 6th Illinois confluence! I took some movies and photographs, and lingered a bit, hoping that the otter would surface. Finally, I scrambled back up the embankment, turned around the vehicle, and drove to the car ferry at the Mississippi River, a few kilometers away. Apparently the ferry was not running, verified 10 minutes later by a couple coming for a look at the water who said had seen a "ferry out" sign. This lack of ferry would add to my journey time back to St Louis, but I took a few photographs and then had a truly marvelous time meandering back up the floodplain's back roads. Another fascinating landscape revealed through a confluence journey!


text: Yup, you probably guessed it. Piping....was out managing a hive today, and I pulled a frame and I heard piping. Looked at the bottom of the frame, and there was a queen cell with a new queen piping in it...it was just opened. I don't mind my hives swarming, as i am trying to help our area grow our bee population. Was very happy.

First two ingredients are named meat products
Mixed quality ingredients, controversial filler
The first two ingredients in this food are named meat products, the first of which is in meal form. The second is inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. It is thus likely that this dry ingredient may be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list than its wet form (ingredients are listed in order of weight). Since the ingredient list is still headed by a meat meal ingredient, this does not cause considerable loss of confidence in the likely meat content of the food. There is a further meat meal ingredient 5th on the ingredient list, but this starts to be too far down the listing to make a significant contribution to the overall meat content of the food. We note that this is a fish meal ingredient but find no sign of a guarantee on the manufacturer website that the ingredient is purchased free of ethoxyquin (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative, commonly added to fish meal ingredients, and which is banned or heavily regulated in human food production due to the belief that it is carcinogenic).
The main grains in the food are rice and oatmeal. We note two forms of rice in the major ingreidents, which combined may exceed the meat content. The food has a small amount of vegetable content. Beet pulp is controversial filler and a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
This product uses synthetic vitamin k, a substance alleged by some to cause liver problems and which is progressively being replaced in better quality dog food products.

Niche wheels offer cutting edge designs to suit a variety of modern European, Domestic and Tuner cars and their aim is to set your car apart from the rest. They boast some of the best finishes seen in the industry and their high end, luxury wheels are some of the most affordable on the market.
The Niche Misano wheels are definitely a set of wheels you want with you on the race track! Built to withstand even the most aggressive driving, they are as strong as they are light – which means you'll get the most out of them every single time. Their machined, forked 5-spoke design is simple yet stylish and as a part of Niche's 'Sport Series' and the fact that the spokes extends to the edge of the lip, allows for maximum concavity, aggressive staggered fitments and large caliper upgrades. No matter what mods you have in store for your road beast, the Niche Misano can handle them and will even accommodate them!
Ordered some new rims and tyres for my Ford Courier last week. John went above and beyond to get a great price and also the right style, size and fitment for my fussy requirements. The wheels turned up fitted and balanced and looked a million bucks. I couldn't of asked for a smoother transaction and a better guy to deal with. Thanks a million.
Had been looking at wheels for ages wanting to get great look/fitment. Called up Autocraze and spoke to Mo, he was awesome. Knew his products and put my mind at ease about the fitment. So I got my wheels and tyres (for a great price!) and I'm super happy!
AutoCraze were absolute legends to deal with when I was buying my Speedy Outlaws. Delivery to Queensland was unbelievably quick! Had the wheels fitted within a week of first making contact. Highly recommend!
The fellas at Autocraze helped heaps with the new wheels! Ordered them online and they arrived at my door 2 days later!! Awesome work fellas, cheers for all the help! Will definitely shop here again
Found the boys at Autocraze, top of the class, needed some rims for my Mustang and Mo had it all sorted. Their after sales support was fantastic too, highly recommend the guys, they are true car enthusiasts and take their time with your rims and their machinery is world class!
Awesome service, great people to deal with. Very professional and delivery was quicker than expected.. Also the car looks great, couldn't be happier. Thanks guys.
Ordered some rims and tires from these guys. Shipped Friday arrived Monday, great to deal with over the phone and the product you order is everybit as good in person. Already recommended to several friends.

Diebold Inc. to pay $48 million for FCPA violations.
Byline: Zach Warren
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) isn't just for technology companies --manufacturers can run afoul of the law as well. Automated teller machine (ATM) manufacturer Diebold Inc. has learned this lesson the hard way and now faces a $48 million settlement after foreign bribery charges.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) claims that Diebold attempted to bribe officials from China, Indonesia and Russia in exchange for government contracts on ATMs. The government estimates that Diebold spent $1.8 million on travel for foreign dignitaries and an additional $1.2 million in bribes to Russian officials to falsify books and records. In one instance, the SEC says, Diebold allegedly paid for Chinese bank officials to take a two-week trip around Europe, including stops in Paris and Rome.
Through the terms of the agreement, Diebold will enter a three-year deferred prosecution agreement and retain a compliance monitor for at least 18 months. If the company abides by the terms of the agreement for all three years, then charges will be dropped.
"A bribe is a bribe, whether it's a stack of cash or an all-expense-paid trip to Europe," said Scott W. Friestad, an associate director in the SEC's Division of Enforcement, in a press release. "Public companies must be held accountable when they break the law to influence government officials with improper payments or gifts."
According to The New York Times, Diebold is simply happy to have the investigation behind them and is looking forward. "It's imperative for Diebold to recognize these issues head on, acknowledge responsibility, put the FCPA investigation period behind it and get on with the business of managing the company," a Diebold spokesman said. In its filing, the Justice Department acknowledged Diebold's own company compliance as a reason for a potentially more lenient penalty.

Learn how to contact each ARDA department.
Click here to view ARDA's staff by name.
Since its inception, ARDA has been well-known for tremendous
advocacy efforts for the timeshare industry and consumers, stemming from ARDA's
foundation of legislative and regulatory procedures.
To provide even more consumer focus, the ARDA-Resort Owners'
Coalition (ARDA-ROC)—an alliance of more than 1.6 million timeshare owners,
developers, and resort managers—works to advocate for public policy positions that
protect the interests of individual timeshare owners, preserve the integrity of
vacation products, and enhance the vacation purchase.
Unfortunately, wherever a market exists, deceptive or
fraudulent activity can also be present. The same is true for the timeshare
resale or secondary market – but our team is working endlessly to protect our
ARDA and ARDA-ROC consistently work to ensure that the
vacation ownership experience remains preserved and protected through robust
advocacy efforts with state and federal governments, as well as providing
industry education to the media, financial advisors, members, owners, other
associations, and consumers across the globe.
While ARDA and ARDA-ROC continuously work with legislative
and regulatory agencies to protect against frauds and scams, it is important to
remind our consumers to be equally as vigilant. This means researching any
company in the secondary market and being on the lookout for these six red
For more information on ARDA and ARDA-ROC efforts in resale
legislation, owner protections and ways to stay vigilant against fraud, visit www.arda-roc.org.
Every two years, we have the unique
opportunity to welcome a new ARDA chair, a leader with fresh perspective and
guidance to the strategic direction of the Association and the core nature of
our work.
Change brings so many components to
it: expectation, excitement, a sense of adventure, questions and perhaps
uncertainty. Developments Magazine sat
down with our new ARDA Chair, Mark Wang, president & CEO of Hilton Grand Vacations,
to get a sense of his vision and plans for these next two years. Here are some of the key things discussed
during that sit down:
Mark has been an entrepreneur from
a young age, building companies and developing teams with this inspiring sense
of the possible. He spent 26 years in
Hawaii selling vacations, stating, "I started several companies and helped struggling
resorts succeed. I learned all aspects of this business—sales and marketing, management,
finance and operations."
He's used these lessons from his
past to rise to his current role where he leads over 8,000 exceptional team
members for a company that is traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
As for what his top priorities are as
Chairman, Mark says:
"There are three top objectives I
want to focus on, especially in the first year. First and foremost, continue to
support advocacy as the number-one core strength of ARDA. I've been involved
with ARDA for almost 35 years, and at the state level in Hawaii I saw how
strong ARDA could be, protecting both developers and owners. As a second priority,
I see great opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region, so I want to explore how
to bring best practices and perhaps our AIF research tools to strengthen that
region for growth. And my final priority would be to address exit programs and
public perception, which are often inter-connected. First, we should consider owners
who enjoyed the product for many years but now have a need for a soft landing.
We can also enhance the overall image of timeshare, which is currently being
tarnished by the tremendous activity targeting owners to 'get out of their
timeshare.' We know owners love our product, and we need to protect our owners
and our industry's reputation."
Overall, Mark adds, he is grateful
to Howard Nusbaum and the entire team at ARDA for this opportunity to
collaborate on the goals and objectives outlined in ARDA's Strategic Plan.
Here's to ARDA's new Chair and the success
of our industry—the best is yet to come!

full sit down in this month's issue of Developments.

"It's a great win especially against a home team," Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal said. "They are a great team and a program that I eye as somebody we would like to be like, so to come from behind down 1-0, I was really pleased."
The Lady Bisons lost the first set 20-25 and then came back to win the next three with scores of 25-22, 28-26, and 25-21 respectively to clinch the win.
"We had a couple of silly errors in the first set we really couldn't afford," Rosenthal said. "We talked about that we have to go about our business the way that we know how. We were down and executed the things that we practice day in and day out. With that, we saw some great results."
Senior Alex Kelly led the team with 19 kills, 22 digs, and a .312 hitting percentage. Sophomore outside hitter Kaycee Green also made a showing with 15 kills. Meghan Hinemeyer had 11.
"Alex Kelly led the way," Rosenthal said. "She played a phenomenal match. It's tournaments like this that we realize how special of a player she is."
Senior setter Jake Pease and freshman libero Stephanie Rex had 14 digs each while Pease also put up 51 assists.
"Jake ran the offense well today," Rosenthal said. "We had great defensive effort, but it always helps when your setter is rockin' and rollin'."
A great surprise for the coaching staff was junior Kelsey Neumann. She came off the bench in the third set at a crucial time when the Lady Bisons were down four points and had two huge blocks that turned the set around. Rosenthal is also proud of the way Rex and Caitlin Dotson have stepped up.
The Lady Bisons will face San Francisco for the first time ever tonight at 5:30 to close out the tournament.
The Lady Bisons will need to shut down senior Sarah Mandala, but will be more focused on what's happening on their own side of the court.
"Starting off the year 0-2, they are hungry for a win," Rosenthal said. "I'm sure they don't want to go back 0-3. We have to do a good job early on and be the aggressor. We've really got to focus on what we've got to do."
All matches will have free live stats at www.gocreighton.com .
Visit www.gocreighton.com for free live streaming of the match or click on the Live Video tab on the left sidebar for video. A monthly subscription costs $10.95.

Alex Ng-Upsize 3d Puzzle-Pony Alex Multifunctional Rocking Horse
At Design Interviews
Interview with Alex Ng : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Alex Ng : Play mat is one of the essential item for baby, infant and toddler. However when baby grows up to a kid, it becomes unnecessary. Therefore, my design idea is to extend its product life to be able to transform the play mat to a secondary functional product, "Rocking Horse". Even though if the user grows up to be a teenager or an adult, it can still be a home decoration with the simple and nice design. In other words, I hope a longer product life could help the world with less abandoned products. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Alex Ng : Safety, function, materials .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Alex Ng : The design is ready to launch in this year; "2014". I am planning to continue to design a series of ridable characters. The idea of turning the play mat to other products is great, especially it is in valuable size. It might be turned into something else in the future other than just a ridable product. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Alex Ng : The project started in April 2013. It took almost a year to the final outcome. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Alex Ng : The design was commissioned. My friend Van Ho and Karl Ho came to me looking for some new product designs that made out of soft materials. This was because their family business is a PU foam manufacturing that seek for new product line. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Alex Ng : The design is being produced by Van Ho and Karl Ho's company. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Alex Ng : I am the only designer of the work. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Alex Ng : For safety reason, Pony Alex is targeting the customers between the age of 3 to 8. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Alex Ng : My friend as well as my team now, they called it Pony Alex because this is my first personal design in product; in the term of manufacturing. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Alex Ng : Pencil sketching for the concept and structure design for sure. Photoshop and illustrator for AW. Rhino for 3D rendering and Solidwork for engineering drawing. All the files were switched around between those softwares to complete the presentation. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Alex Ng : The rocking horse - "Pony Alex" can be assembled from the pieces of play mat. It does not require any hard plastic to hold the pieces, which is new in the market. The structure have been developed well that the joints of every piece can secure itself when weight-force applies on the seat. The heavier the rider is, the better structure will hold. It complies with ASTM F936-11 toy safety standards and passes the weight-loading test. Pony Alex is able to support the weight up to 150 lbs. on the seat. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Alex Ng : Yes, I worked with the technician who advised the suitable hardness of EVA foam. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Alex Ng : The project won the Best of the Fair at Hong Kong Toys and Baby Products Award in January 2014, in the category of Baby Toys & Activity. My team encourages me to submit my design to more competitions. .

Student denies attacking Badgers RB Ball
Wilson denies involvement
MADISON, Wis. — One of the men accused of attacking Wisconsin running back Montee Ball near campus said he didn't do it.
Ball suffered a concussion when he was attacked by several men near campus Aug. 1.
A police report said three 21-year-old Madison men were arrested Tuesday afternoon. They were all arrested on charges of party to the crime of substantial battery.
Police identified the suspects as Wendell J. Venerable, Deonte J. Wilson and Robert A. Wilks.
"I am wrongly accused. I had nothing to do with the Montee Ball situation. I did not lay one finger on Montee Ball, and I am wrongly accused," Wilson said. He spoke to WISC-TV from the Dane County Jail.
"They're going after me because I was with a group of people the night of the incident. I was with the group before and after the situation happened, and they have video of me being with the group," Wilson said.
All three men are University of Wisconsin-Madison students.
Lori Berquam, UW-Madison dean of students, released a statement Wednesday stating if students are found responsible for violating UW System codes, punishments could range from a meeting with the dean to suspension or expulsion.
University officials said they are unable to discuss the discipline of specific students.
A Madison police report said detectives are still investigating a fight at a house party July 27 involving students, players and other individuals. While Ball was present, police found no evidence he was involved, according to the police report.
One person received hospital treatment for an injury suffered during the fight, but nobody has been charged so far.
Ball, a Heisman Trophy finalist last season as a junior, has said he had nothing to do with the fight. He hopes to be ready for the season opener.

Laura Prepon is very happy for her That 70s Show co-stars.
While speaking to E! News during the season two preview for her Netflix series Orange Is The New Black, the 34-year-old actress spoke about Mila Kunis' relationship with Ashton Kutcher.
"I don't usually comment on my friends' personal lives," Prepon said when asked about the duo. "But they're an amazing couple."
Prepon's declarations came a day after it was reported that Kutcher spoke to Kunis' dad before asking her to marry him.
"He asked for Mark's blessing to marry her. It was important to Ashton to be respectful and traditional. This is the real thing for him and he wants to do it all right," a source close to the Two and Half Men star told People.
While the exact date of the engagement is still unclear, Kunis began being photographed with a diamond ring on her finger in late February.

I enjoyed making my painted monogram pumpkin so much that I decided to crochet a monogram pumpkin potholder using my Happy Halloween Pumpkin potholder pattern. I drew a letter "S" on graph paper, and inserted it into the pumpkin design.
this adorable amigurumi pumpkin pattern on Ravelry by Karla Fitch. It was a very well written pattern and easy to follow. It worked up very quickly, and I love how it came out. It's currently the centerpiece on my dining room table, and I hope to make a few more soon.

It's only four weeks until Christmas, and we all know what that means: 'tis the season for cheesy TV movies. National Tree (Hallmark, 8 PM) stars Andrew McCarthy (yes, THE Andrew McCarthy) and a boy from Save the Last Dance 2 as a father and son driving to Washington D.C. with a special tree in tow.
Beyond Sherwood Forest (SyFy, 9 PM) is a strange re-imagining of the classic Robin Hood tale. In this version, the Sheriff of Nottingham uses some crazy flying dragon to try and catch Robin Hood.
November 29, 2009
The Dog Who Saved Christmas (ABC Family, 8 PM) stars Mario Lopez as the voice of a mischievous dog left home alone while his family is out and about. While this is happening, two thugs (one of whom is Dean Cain) try to rob the house, but the dog deters them with silly pranks. This is Home Alone with a dog. It looks awful, but kids might like it.
If you have four hours free, catch Bruce Springsteen, U2, Sting, and pretty much any rock act you can think of performing on the 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Concert (HBO, 8 PM). Just change the channel when The Black Eyed Peas come on. They're not rock and roll.
Taraji P. Henson and Terence "Baby Wipes" Howard host the 2009 Soul Train Awards (BET, 9 PM). Michael Jackson already won the Entertainer of the Year Award.

The least annoying show about weird-looking cakes, Cake Boss (TLC, 9 PM) moves to a new time slot. I'm not sure what fondant is or if it can possibly taste good, but that's one of the most-used words in this show.
Chuck finds out something potentially damaging about Serena and Trip on Gossip Girl (The CW, 9 PM). The previews tell us that "Thanksgiving if full of secrets," which is true. My mom lied about buying a pre-cooked turkey once.
Hoarders (A&E, 10 PM) is hard to watch, but I would recommend it because it shows you the bad things can happen just in case you decide to never take out the garbage. Noxious fumes galore.

I was a little confused when I found out about Britain's Missing Top Model (BBCA, 9 PM). The show is about young women with disabilities who want to become models. But does the "missing" refer to what they are actually without, or whether Britain is "missing" a disabled model? I'm either offended or pleased. I cannot decide.
Scrubs (ABC, 9:30 PM) seems as though it will never go away. A 9th season will have Dr. Cox, J.D., and Turk teaching medical school, which just seems forced. Also, Elliott is preggers with J.D.'s kid because you need a baby born sometime before a series ends.
Look, boobies! In diamond-encrusted bras! The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (CBS, 10 PM) will be watched by men across America while their wives and girlfriends roll their eyes in annoyance.
On the season finale of The Hills (MTV, 10 PM), a portent of the apocalypse may come true if Speidi is indeed with child. Also, Justin-Bobby and Kristin decide on whether they should date. They probably should not. And they should probably go away.
On the second season finale of Sons of Anarchy (FX, 10 PM), SAMCRO goes to the mattresses against The League.

The sacred Rockefeller Center tree is lit up for the holiday season amidst musical renditions from NBC darling Jane Krakowski and The Roots on Christmas in Rockefeller Center (NBC, 8 PM).
On Glee (FOX, 9 PM), the club is left out of the yearbook because of budget cuts and everyone is relieved, except for Rachel. You have better catch this one before Glee disappears for four months.
I laughed when I saw the previews for Steven Seagal: Lawman (A&E, 10 PM). He's totally serious about this police gig. Hopefully Seagal knows that squinting while talking and breaking pool sticks in half will not keep him safe from real guns.
For those who are in Project Runway withdrawal, Launch My Line (Bravo, 11 PM) is the latest show about fashion design. This show is different in that 10 established designers are paired off with 10 professionals who have dreamed of launching their own clothing lines. Why does this seem to be everyone's dream?
December 3, 2009
Tom gets a divorce from his hot greencard toting wife on Parks and Recreation (NBC, 8:30 PM) and gets the sads.
Liz begins production on her Dealbreakers talk show on 30 Rock (NBC, 9:30 PM) and finds out what it's like to be Jenna. God help the TGS cast.
Jersey Shore (MTV, 10 PM) is a good choice for anyone who was a fan of the True Life episode "I Have A Summer Share." Just think of the explosive possibilities when just the right amount of hair gel and white tank tops combine.

Tonight marks the beginning of the end for Dollhouse (FOX, 8 PM). The network will air two episodes back-to-back tonight.
Monk (USA, 9 PM) is coming to a close tonight. Monk will figure out who killed his wife, but hardly anyone will notice because no one has watched this show since 2005.

Michael Jackson's 'This Is It': A glossy, finger-snap-enhanced ballad, but where's the groove?
The last Michael Jackson album was released in 2001. Yet with the singer's passing this summer, it's a safe bet that one will not have to go years before hearing a bounty of as-yet-unheard Jackson songs again. The music industry is more than adept at exploring an artist's unreleased back catalog, and the first of what promises to be an onslaught of posthumous releases from the star hit the Web late Sunday/early Monday.
Few details were released on "This Is It," but the song bears the same name as what would have been Jackson's comeback concerts at London's 02 Arena this year. It will now serve as the title track to the concert film and accompanying album. The film arrives for a limited two-week run on Oct. 28, and the album will be released in North America on Oct. 27.
There's been little information as to what exactly lies in the Jackson vaults, although it's been reported and speculated that enough material for multiple albums exists. Though officially released as a single, and carrying backing vocals from Jackson's brothers, "This Is It," at least, sounds like a demo. Jackson's initial count-off feels raw and distant, but this isn't an intimate peek at the singer in the studio.
An orchestra sweeps in and brushes the song into the safe and comfortable territory of many of the slower songs on 2001's "Invincible." Yet though Jackson's voice sounds crisp, the lushness of the "Invincible" ballads is lost. It saves "This Is It" from some of the latter's schmaltz, but doesn't help its repetitiveness. Elastic, slow-dance guitar notes fill the spaces between the finger-snaps, but if the song sways, it never quite hits a groove.
"I'm the light of the world, this is real," Jackson sings to a generic lover, and the backing "oohs" ensure the sentiment goes down easy. But it's a trifle, and while it's one that certainly won't embarrass Jackson's legacy or break the hearts of fans eager to hear Jackson's voice again, it does bring the fallen pop icon a little back down to earth.

This season, the stakes are higher than ever for each of the ladies, and while there is no shortage of laughs, they are forced to navigate a string of confrontations that could change the dynamic of the friend group forever. Following her brother's recent passing, Lisa Vanderpump puts all her energy into her family, work demands and maintaining a positive attitude. Kyle is settling into her new house after a well-publicized robbery and sending her daughter Sophia off to college, all while trying to determine the future of her Beverly Hills clothing store. Feeling like she's found her mojo, Dorit is expanding her swimwear line to include a lifestyle brand, but working against tight deadlines makes her realize she may have bitten off more than she can chew. Meanwhile, Erika takes the ultimate leap of faith – and financial risk – when she embarks on an Erika Jayne National Tour, hoping her fans will show up to support her. As her business flourishes into a multi-million dollar empire, the always-on-the-go Teddi must adjust to the newfound pressures of running her company while simultaneously maintaining her supermom status. Lisa Rinna begins to wonder if acting still excites her, while coping with an empty household, as her husband is constantly traveling and her model daughters are getting ready to leave the nest. Camille is prepping for her wedding day and though she is more than ready to leave the past behind, moving forward might not be as easy as she had hoped.

Middle/High School Edition
I'm not sure when I first learned about foldables, but I'm sure glad I did.
Basically, foldables are a whole series of different ways to organize information - there are tables, booklets of all types, 3D structures, and more.
A few of my favorite things about foldables...
...it's good for kids to learn a variety of ways to organize information.
...it turns boring note-taking into something more interesting.
...they are a great addition to a portfolio or interactive notebook
Dinah Zike's books are great! They are organized in two ways...
...First, each type of foldable contains several examples of topics for which you might use that foldable.
...Then, each science topic has a list of foldables you might use to organize the information in that topic.
It's hard to read, but that's a whole list of ways you might use foldables when studying plate tectonics!
As a science teacher, I like the Zike's books related specifically to science (it makes it that much easier for me!), but it would be easy to adapt these basic organizing techniques to any subject area. In fact, Zike has written books on math and social studies foldables.

A three-year-old boy died after his mother's boyfriend pushed his car seat back in a 'fit of childish temper', jurors were told.
Stephen Waterson, 25, son of ex-minister Nigel Waterson, allegedly crushed Alfie Lamb either because he wanted more leg room or because he was annoyed, Duncan Atkinson QC said.
The prosecutor told jurors that Alfie's mother Adrian Hoare, 23, failed her son 'fundamentally and fatally' during the car journey to Croydon, south London, on February 1 last year.
The couple are on trial at the Old Bailey accused of Alfie's manslaughter.
In a closing speech, Mr Atkinson said Alfie was a 'happy, active, smiley child'.
READ MORE: Alfie Lamb trial: Toddler slapped and forced into footwell before fatal car seat incident, court told – National
He warned jurors that they should guard against an emotional response to his death when they decide their verdicts.
He said: 'No one is going to suggest either of these defendants wanted Alfie to die. In text messages between them they just wanted their 'little fatty' back, they just wanted him home.
'Each of them may have called him a 'little shit' but neither of them set out to hurt him in the way that they did.
'The question for you is whether Alfie died because without any thought for the consequences, Stephen Waterson moved his chair back, whether because he wanted more room or because Alfie was annoying him, putting Alfie at risk, lashing out at him with his car seat in a fit of childish temper.
'The further question is whether the person Alfie was most entitled in the whole world to rely on when that happened, and had a duty to protect him from such harm, failed him fundamentally and fatally.
'Failed him by putting him in such a dangerous place which is why children have car seats, which is why you would never think of putting a child in a footwell.'
READ MORE: Alfie Lamb trial: Man accused of crushing toddler with car seat 'told police he had powerful parents', court told – National
The lawyer told jurors they must look at whether Hoare's failing to act was such a "fundamental dereliction of duty to her son" that she too could be held responsible for his death.
He said: 'Alfie did not have enough room to breathe and that became the case after he was in the footwell and he was compressed in that way either for a short period followed by another period but in any view long enough to cause those irreversible injuries.'
He said neither of the defendants had explained the expert findings about Alfie's injuries 'because they cannot admit what Stephen Waterson did and Adrian Hoare failed to stop'.
Hoare, who is originally from north Kent, denies manslaughter, child cruelty and common assault on Emilie Williams, who was in the car.
Waterson has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter and intimidation of the driver Marcus Lamb.
The couple and Williams have pleaded guilty to conspiring to pervert the course of justice by making false statements to police.

FDA warning public of risks of online pharmacies
The Food and Drug Administration is warning the public that most Internet pharmacies are fraudulent, selling drugs that likely are counterfeit and could harm or even kill people.
So the FDA has just launched a national campaign, called BeSafeRx, to alert the public to the danger.
A recent survey by the agency found nearly one in four Internet shoppers has bought prescription drugs online.
Most don't realize that only about 3 percent of online pharmacies are licensed and following the law. The rest likely are selling fake drugs that won't help patients get better and may contain arsenic or other poisons.
A new website, at www.FDA.gov/BeSafeRx , shows people how to find safe online pharmacies. The FDA is working with other government agencies, doctors and pharmacists to spread the word.

An eyewitness account of shocking scenes of football hooliganism from our undercover reporter in Germany....
Last Saturday, the first round of the German Cup was marred by some disgusting scenes of violence, the like of which we haven't experienced over here for a long time. The match between BFC Dynamo and 1.FC Kaiserslautern at Berlin's Jahn-Sportpark left countless away supporters and 18 policemen injured (2 of them hospitalised), and resulted in 27 arrests being made and criminal investigation launched against another 50.
So what happened? BFC Dynamo had qualified to participate in the first round of the DFB-Pokal for the first time in 12 years and were drawn against the Bundesliga side of Kaiserslautern, which obviously meant a lot to the club, the players, the treasurer, their genuine fans – and their hooligans.
Let's first take a look at some facts to understand the background. To say that this club has a bit of a history is rather understated. During the heydays of the German (so-called Democratic) Republic (GDR or East Germany), the team of Erich Mielke's secret police won ten league titles in a row – often backed by some dubious refereeing and accusations of match fixing. And those among you old enough to remember football in the 1980s may even recall their European campaigns when they played the likes of Werder Bremen, Aberdeen or Aston Villa at the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark in Berlin's district of Prenzlauer Berg right behind by the Berlin Wall.
With the fall of the wall and the end of the GDR, also came the collapse of the club that once used to be the party officials' darling. Two more seasons had to be completed in the East German league before the country's two league pyramids merged. Dynamo Dresden and Hansa Rostock won the last two titles in 1990 and 1991 in a country that has ceased to exist, and had gained their spot in the Bundesliga. BFC Dynamo failed to qualify and eventually fell down the cracks and never really recovered again. In an attempt to wash away their unpleasant past, they had even renamed themselves to FC Berlin for a period of ten years until 1999, when they decided that they wanted their old name and logo back. In the meantime, the club started to attract all sorts of dingy clientele that wasn't welcome elsewhere, ranging from overt neo-nazis to simple-minded thugs.
One must acknowledge the club's efforts to overcome their negative image by trying to induce a self-cleaning process among their supporters. There have indeed been notable efforts by investing in their youth teams and trying to make the club as socially accepted as possible. Genuine, non-violent BFC supporters (and yes, a fair amount of them do exist) have had enough of their club's name usually being mentioned in the same breath with neo-fascism and football-related riots. But there's only so much power the 'silent' majority can exercise against those willing to resort to violence, no matter what.
For most of the last two decades BFC Dynamo have found themselves playing in the 5th flight of the German league pyramid in NOFV-Oberliga Nord with the likes of Malchow, Neustrelitz and Lichterfelde. Home matches at Sportforum Hohenschönhausen are usually a quiet affair with attendances of 500 to 800. And with the lack of any hooligan opposition on away days, the thugs focus on chasing people at matches against Turkish teams like BAK '07 or Türkiyemspor.
Now back to what happened last weekend. In Germany, the first round of the cup is usually played a week before the league starts. 64 teams compete in this first round, including all members of Bundesliga 1 and 2 as well as the top four of the previous season's 3. Liga, plus a number of non-league clubs, who can qualify by winning one of the regional amateur cup competitions. BFC had won the regional Berlin cup in the 2010/11 season and hence found them in the first round proper. Like most their big games, the match against Kaiserslautern had been moved to Jahn-Sportpark as it is deemed more secure than their home turf. Incidentally, they played there for a larger period in the East German days.
Kaiserslautern took 2,000 supporters on the 700km away trip, and the total attendance was 10,104 on this cold and rainy day in late July – the highest attendance for Dynamo in the last 20 years! Having a soft spot for Kaiserslautern I chose to join them in the away end. The match itself was an easy affair for the visiting Bundesliga side who won 3-0. Ten minutes before the final whistle it became obvious that there was something in the air. And that was not just smoke bombs and fire crackers thrown on the pitch from the BFC section. The referee had to interrupt the game for a couple of minutes.
And as it surfaced during a police press conference yesterday, members of Dynamo's own security firm had opened the gates between the two supporters' sections right after the police had left. A mob of 250 to 300 thugs started steaming into the away section from two sides – via the buffer section on the stands as well as from the stairs behind the away end. I quickly realised that this was going to get nasty when the first handful of thugs chased up the stairs I was going to walk down. Punches were thrown against virtually anybody in their way, along with firecrackers and other missiles thrown into the crowd. Note that there were no like-minded troublemakers waiting for them on Kaiserslautern's side – the away section was filled with a mix of ordinairy fans enjoying themselves on what was supposed to be a fun away trip. And that includes women, children, pensioners.
While it's easy to complain about the heavy policing at football matches in Germany these days, suddenly when you needed them to protect normal people they were nowhere to be seen. On my lucky escape out I noticed scores of cops in riot gear waiting outside the ground. They had no clue what was going on inside while fiddling around with their radio sets. "Get the f**k in there, what are you waiting for", I screamed at them, "it's going off", while I ran away to hop on the next tram that came in. I was still shaking by the time I reached home only about 15 minutes later.
Of course, investigations have been launched on how and why this could have happened despite the heavy policing. As it turned out – and hold your breath, this sounds really dodgy – the stewards, who had opened the security gates of the buffer zone for the thugs to get trough, had closed these very gates by the time riot police arrived, so they couldn't get into the away end. Valuable time had been lost until the 'miscommunication' had been resolved. Make out of that what you want.
I can only hope that everyone injured will soon be back on their feet again. Meanwhile, the topic is hottly debated on fan forums and in the comments sections of online news sites. Comments range from "Those in charge at the security firm should receive life-time stadium bans" to "I hope they'll receive a fine so hefty they'll go bankrupt". There are also claims that the troubles were not caused by anybody affiliated with BFC but rather by travelling troublemakers from Leipzig, Poland and elsewhere. I can't judge on that. For my part, I've decided to never attend a BFC Dynamo match again.
