A new exhibit, "Memories from Childhood: Our Favorite Christmas Stories," is now on display in Special Collections on the 4th Floor of Belk Library and Information Commons. The display draws on children's literature relating to Christmas from the Historical Children's Literature rare book collection and the W.L. Eury Appalachian Collection, both part of Special Collections. Special Collections staff and Dougherty Reading Room reference students chose their favorites from the collections for the exhibit. Included are a first edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas, Gloria Houston's The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree, and a book of traditional Christmas songs illustrated by H.A. Rey, known for his "Curious George" series.
Pictured: Cover art for We Three Kings and other Christmas Carols, illustrated by H.A. Rey (1944).
There will be no ABC Express Service from December 21st to January 1st because the libraries at Appalachian State University, Western Carolina, and University of North Carolina Ashville
will be closed.
Sorry for any inconvenience!
Belk Library now offers the Appalachian State community access to OverDrive, a service which allows users to download ebooks and audiobooks to their favorite mobile device. Titles include popular fiction, study aids (GRE, LSAT, GMAT, CPA), travel guides, foreign language study audiobooks, and more.
Items are available in four formats: Kindle, EPub, MP3 and WMA audio. An Adobe ID or Amazon Kindle account is required, and either an OverDrive Media Console App or a Kindle device or App. For help, see our Library Guide for eBooks/OverDrive, or visit us in the library. You can always read available ebooks through your browser without having to download any software.
Explore OverDrive to see the growing collection of downloadable ebooks and audiobooks, and enter your Banner/Univeristy ID number to download up to three titles at a time for either a 7, 14, or 21 day check-out. Titles are returned automatically at the end of the lending period, so there are never late fees.
OK, maybe you need actual food too. But an e-book about cooking or cuisine might be a great idea for the holiday.
Our new (tiny) Overdrive Collection has 18 books on cooking and food. They can be checked out for 21 days.
Overdrive e-books are hard to set up the first time, but easy after that. Click on your device on this help page for instructions. Or ask us for help.
More on the Belk Library's Overdrive e-books.
We also have EBSCO e-books. Browse these 1668 e-books on food and drink.
These are challenging to set up the first time also, but as easy as changing TV channels after that. Try out these instructions, but come visit us for help setting up if they don't quite work. Most (~90%) can be checked out for 14 days. They do not work with Kindles.

Are you interested in having a better understanding of Israeli and Palestinian families, identity, and society? Then you are encouraged to attend the film, "The Other Son" this coming Thursday evening.
"The Other Son is a compelling, moving, and humane film about the families of two young men -- one Israeli, the other Palestinian -- who discover that their sons were accidentally switched at birth. This revelation turns their lives upside-down, forcing them to reassess their respective identities, values and beliefs. This is a life affirming story about finding compassion for the "other". The film won Best Director Award and the Tokyo Grand Prix at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2012.
Discussion after the film will be led by Palestinian-American, Dr. Jawad Bargothi, who is Professor Emeritus from the ASU Department of Government and Justice Studies.
The event is presented as part of International Education Week and presented in partnership between the ASU Library, the ASU Muslim Students Association and the ASU Office of International Education and Development. It is the fourth event of the Muslim Journeys Bridging Cultures "Let's Talk about It" Program, a series of book and film discussions supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the American Library Association. This series follows upon the Muslim Journeys Bridging Cultures Bookshelf Program begun in spring 2013.

Have you wanted to know more about the differences and commonalities among Christianity, Judaism, and Islam? Students, faculty & community members are invited to attend a panel discussion by three Appalachian State faculty members of the book, The Children of Abraham: Judaism, Christianity, Islam by F. E. Peters. The three panelists, Dr. Alan Hauser (Dept. of Philosophy & Religion), Dr. Maria Lichtmann (Dept. of Philosophy & Religion), & Dr. Rahman Tashakkori (Dept. of Computer Science), will use this classic comparative study to discuss the interconnections between these three major faiths.
Copies of the book are available in the Browsing section of the Appalachian State University Library. Students, faculty, and community members are encouraged to check-out the book and participate in discussion. But familiarity with the book is not necessary to appreciate this event. The event will be Tuesday, Nov 12, at 5:00 PM in the Library auditorium Room 114.
The event is presented by ASU Library in conjunction with the Muslim Students Association as the third event of the Muslim Journeys Bridging Cultures "Let's Talk About It" Program, a series of book and film discussions. The Program is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the American Library Association. This series follows upon the Muslim Journeys Bridging Cultures Bookshelf Program begun in spring 2013 which provided materials related to Muslim cultures to the University Library.

|In response to Re: How can I move my bathroom sink over 6 inches?
Nevermind, the URL link doesn't work. I don't know how to show you what I'm working with. Thanks anyway.
: Yes, I want to keep the piping in the cabinet, but I want the cabinet moved to the left about 6-8". The attached URL has a picture of the bathroom. The dimensions are as follows:
: : As long as the piping will still be in the cabinet it is usually a simple job, but without seeing it we cannot tell you exactly how to do it.
: : : I have a small bathroom in which I want to change out the vanity cabinet and sink. I would like to go from a 25" to a 31". Problem is, if the sink stays where it currently is, the door will hit the 31" sink. I want to be able to install the sink about 6-8" to the left of where it currently is. Is there some kind of extension or pipeing that can be added to the drain pipe to accomodate this without redoing the entire plumbing system? Any creative advice appreciated!

Did You Know? Countdown to June 2009 (05/31)Sunday, May 31st, 2009
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About the Month of June
May 31 : 01 day till June
Did you know that Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June?
Set by Presidential proclamation in 1966 by President Lyndon Johnson, the idea of a national celebration of American fathers was first supported by President Calvin Coolidge in 1924. Before then, local Father's Day commemorations were held in cities and towns around America, including the first ever Father's Day in Spokane Washington in June, 1910.
We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fact each day as we countdown to the month of June! So stop by again tomorrow.

Dear Mr. Dad: There's something going on with our nine-year old son, but it's hard to describe. We know that he's very smart—he reads at a high-school level, does the most amazing math calculations in his head, and is a wonderful artist. But only at home. At school, his grades are horrible, he gets in trouble a lot, is often called an underachiever, and has been diagnosed with ADHD and other learning disabilities. I always thought that being gifted and having learning disabilities were mutually exclusive. Is it possible for someone to have both?
A: The quick answer is an enthusiastic Yes! In fact, your son sounds like what some people are now calling "twice-exceptional." And one of the biggest risks he faces is that he won't get the attention he needs for either of his exceptional sides. Twice exceptional (2e) kids often fall through the cracks, say Diane Kennedy and Rebecca Banks, authors of Bright Not Broken: Gifted Kids, ADHD, and Autism.
According to Banks and Kennedy, a 2e kid's disabilities may make people overlook his giftedness by getting the adults in his life to focus more on his shortcomings than his talents—in other words, to see him as a problem that needs to be fixed. At the same time, his intellectual gifts can mask his disabilities, meaning that he won't get the help he needs to fully achieve his potential.
At the root of the problem are the words we use to describe children like your son: deficit, disorder, disability. But nearly 20 years ago, educational psychologist Bonnie Cramond did a comparison of the ways people describe the behavior of children who might be labeled as having a disability with those who might be labeled as highly creative. Aside from the words, there wasn't much difference. For example, the ADD child is "impulsive," while a creative child is "spontaneous." An ADD child would be "hyperactive," but the creative one would be "high energy." One child is "inattentive," while the other is "a creative thinker." One is "oppositional," the other is "questioning authority." One is "unable to finish projects," the other is "able to switch gears quickly" or "always looking for new challenges." One "daydreams," the other "is lost in thought."
So what can you do? To start with, remember the old expression: "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." People in special education tend to focus on disabilities. People who work with gifted kids, focus on gifts. You need to find someone who will look at your son from all angles, someone who can encourage him to develop his talents, while helping him work on minimizing the negative effects—if any—of his "disabilities" on his life.
I'm saying "minimize the effects" because your son doesn't necessarily need to be "cured"—he may just need to find activities (and later, a career) that make use of his gifts. Kids with Asperger's, for example, often excel in math and science and might be happy as adults in engineering, physics, and accounting. Kids with ADD often do well in music, art, and sports and can be quite successful as emergency-room doctors, inventors, salespeople, or air traffic controllers.
It's also very important that you and your spouse educate yourselves about different ways of thinking about learning disabilities and gifts. In addition to Kennedy's and Banks' book, I recommend The Power of Neurodiversity: Unleashing the Advantages of Your Differently Wired Brain, by Thomas Armstrong. I've interviewed all of these authors on my radio show, "Positive Parenting." You can listen to podcasts at mrdad.com/radio.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Juan Diego Catholic High School completed their quest for a second straight Utah 3-A high school baseball championship with a 5-1 victory over Canyon View High School. Relying on a strong pitching staff, Juan Diego proved untouchable throughout the recent tournament.
Our Emery High Spartan baseball team, after winning two games the weekend before in the opening rounds of state play, lost two games decisively to close out their season. Emery opened play on Thursday with a loss to Desert Hills High School of St. George in quarterfinal play. The final score was 16-8. Emery next played Bear River, a team they had defeated a week earlier, and left the tournament after a 15-3 loss to the Bears.
Colter Moore and Braden Bolotas were the two Emery pitchers in those games. With these two pitching the majority of the innings this season for a team that finished the regular season 16-5 and then went 2-2 in play-off action, The team went into the games with high hopes of doing well. Moore, even though he had pitched well for the Spartans in the past several games, was still suffering from back soreness that had given him fits for awhile.
Both of these games found Emery in contention early only then to lose the games in the late innings. Against Desert Hills, Emery only trailed 10-8 until the bottom of the fifth inning when the Thunder scored six runs to wrap up the victory. Against Bear River, Emery grabbed a 3-0 lead in the first inning. The Bears scored seven runs in the fifth inning and three more in the sixth inning to end the game and to end Emery's season.
In the two games, Bolotas, Moore and Gage Bell each hit a double for Emery's only extra base hits. Emery had a total of 12 hits in the Desert Hills game and four hits in the Bear River game.
In other action, Juan Diego had defeated Desert Hills in the semi-finals 11-1. This game was the next game for Desert Hills after defeating the Spartans. Canyon View High School had came up through the loser's bracket, those teams that had a single loss in the double-loss elimination format, then defeated Desert Hills 9-5 for the right to face Juan Diego in the championship game. Canyon View had defeated Bear River in their next game after the Emery game.
This was a good season for Emery with a total of 18 victories and a share of the region championship. Emery had hit the ball well throughout the year and had received contributions from each of their starters.

The White House is losing one of its sweetest employees, the executive pastry chef.
Bill Yosses tells The New York Times that he is moving to New York to teach children and adults about healthy eating, citing the inspiration of first lady Michelle Obama.
Naturally, Yosses said: "It's a bittersweet decision."
From the Times:
"Hired by Laura Bush in 2007, when he was already acclaimed in New York for the raspberry and pear souffles he created at restaurants like Montrachet and Bouley, Mr. Yosses began moving beyond the traditional sugar sculptures and cookie plates after Mrs. Obama arrived at the White House. He was directed to make more healthful desserts, and in smaller portions, that were to be served only sparingly to the first family.
"Mr. Yosses began experimenting with alternatives to what he called 'the usual blitzkrieg' of butter and cream. Now, he said, 'we replace butter with fruit purée, which gives some body.' He often uses honey and agave in place of sugar, has added whole grains to desserts and is considering heirloom varieties of whole wheat without the bitterness of wheat bran and germ in modern whole-wheat flour."

Skip to comments.China's spies 'very aggressive' threat to U.S.
Posted on 03/06/2007 9:46:11 PM PST by do the dhue
China's intelligence services are among the most aggressive at spying on the United States, followed by Cuban, Russian and Iranian spy agencies, according to the U.S. government's top counterintelligence coordinator. "These services are eating our lunch," Joel F. Brenner, the new head of the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive, said in his first interview since being named to the counterspy post in August. Mr. Brenner, a former inspector general at the National Security Agency, told The Washington Times that the U.S. remains the No. 1 target of "virtually every significant espionage service on the face of the Earth." China's intelligence activities have been "very aggressive" at acquiring U.S. advanced technology, often before it is fully developed here. "The technology bleed to China, among others, is a very serious problem," he said, noting that the FBI is improving its efforts to identify and protect sensitive technology. Beijing also succeeded in penetrating, and thus frustrating, U.S. intelligence against China through Katrina Leung, a Los Angeles businesswoman who was a long-time FBI informant secretly loyal to Beijing, Mr. Brenner said. Mr. Brenner's office, known as NCIX, is working on a new presidential strategy for counterintelligence. The goal of the office is to provide strategic direction aimed at bolstering counterintelligence agencies, including the FBI, CIA and Pentagon counterspy units. Another key priority is using counterintelligence techniques, such as turning foreign agents or recruiting supporters, against terrorist groups. "Hezbollah or al Qaeda don't do a terrorist operation without doing an intelligence operation first," Mr. Brenner said. "They are very thorough and capable in the way they do their advance surveillance and reconnoitering.

Russia's spying program on the US is much larger than it ever was during the Cold War.
They only need to get their engineering educations from our universities for the most important design tools to update their military forces.

I concur.
I vote Republican because I don't trust the rats to keep this stuff in check.
Well, they are not here to figure out how to sell more Teddy Bears to our kids.
Americans, by and large, are not world traveled, so they are ignorant of this.
Meanwhile Al Gore, Wen Ho Lee, the Clintons, and executives of Loral Corporation all walk around scot free! W pretends nothing happened. He must have cut a deal with the Demos to take office.
You say that as if the Republicans are doing a better job. That's pretty funny.
Every time I look at C-Span on TV I wonder just how much info is leaking outta this country via Democrat operatives spies in DC? Also now that the DemonRats control the Committes I can imagine just how much technology and secrets are flying outta this country are soon as they get their paws on them.
Yea, I know. but I am not laughing.
I concur
Since nobody in the government seems to take the whole security issue seriously at all, (read: Sandy Berger) are we supposed to be surprised by this report?
"They offered no real ideas to most all issues and they did nothing to deserve to be in power".
Yeah, except for winning those pesky elections.
Ignorance is going to get us kilt.
The Bush "Chicom appeasing" policy borders on treason. What the hell is wrong with Bush? Huge trade deficits, huge build up of the Chicom war machine, huge job loses to the chicoms, huge technology transfers, huge thief of intellectual property and yet Bush seems to think everything is just fine. The man is as big a fool as LBJ or Jimmy
They did not deserve to win those elections. They offered only obstruction for six years. The ignorance of the American people, put them in power.
I work in Silicon Valley. We have many workers here, including management up to the executive level, who are not US citizens. Some of them are citizens of the PRC and "former" Soviet Union countries. I am sure many of them are not a problem, however, some small percentage of them are legends for operatives and outright military personnel. They are in our midst, in positions to do great damage, and nothing is being done to detect and apprehend them.
Thanks for the ping!

Banking Your Baby's Cord Blood - A Serious Option for Pregnant Parents to Consider
Robert Sears, MD
Today's expectant parents are faced with many decisions about the type of birth they want to have: Birthing center or hospital? Epidural or natural? Rooming in with baby or, "Please take that baby to the nursery and let me sleep!"
When my wife was pregnant with our third child, I remember sitting in our obstetrician's (OB) waiting room together while my wife flipped through the latest pregnancy magazine. I wasn't paying much attention because we had already made every possible decision about our birth. We knew exactly what type of birth we wanted, and now it was just a matter of waiting.
"Hey honey, look at this!" I heard my wife say. She showed me an article about cord blood stem cell banking and asked me if we should look into it. What I wanted to say was, "Oh no. Now we have to make another decision about our birth." But what came out of my mouth was "That's interesting dear, but it's way too complicated and probably just a gimmick anyway." Well, my wife read through the article and by the end she was convinced we should do it. It appeared we had made another decision.
Over the next couple of weeks I researched the issue thoroughly. If we were going to bank our baby's cord blood, we were going to do it right. I discovered it was much simpler than I'd imagined. The cord blood wouldn't actually be taken from our baby at all. After the umbilical cord is cut, the blood is drained out of the placenta and remaining umbilical cord, thus the term, "cord blood." This blood is rich in baby's "stem cells," which are immature blood cells that are able to change and mature into any type of blood cell as baby grows, just like bone marrow cells. These cells are preserved in a storage facility, ready for use when needed.
My wife felt strongly about banking the baby's blood because she had cancer as a teenager. She wanted to take every precaution for our kids, and having some cord blood available in case any of them should need it gave her peace of mind. And, she could even use it herself. Of course, we hoped we would never need it for these reasons, but as I read more about stem cells, I found out there were many more uses than just treating cancer. Research is showing promising results using stem cells to treat heart disease and neurological diseases. This is really what got me excited about banking our baby's blood - not just to treat cancer, but for all the other chronic diseases that could possibly be cured or improved with this new and innovative treatment. I decided to invest in our family's future.
The Benefits of Family Cord Blood Banking
Cord blood stem cells are not just for your baby. It's really an investment for the whole family. Virtually all mothers and about half of siblings will be a suitable match for baby's stem cells. And while the chance that any family member will use the cord blood for cancer treatment is very low, the likelihood that it could be used to treat a variety of other diseases is considerable. The list of such diseases is growing every year as researchers study this fascinating field.

Nice start to the anime. The animation is picture perfect for the series. It'll be cool to see the coming episodes and some of the great comedy that makes this series so great. Lots of Dah in the opening huh?
I hope they animate that one chapter where Oga and Hilda get stuck in the playpen, that was pretty funny. Also the Toujou fight and latest chapters will be epic once animated.
i hope they keep this type of animation up for the whole series. Is baby beel head bigger in the anime or am i seeing things, i really like how they did his voice though
Not looking forward to his pee flooding the house scenes. Just thinking about it is like thinking about the last cover of Fairy Tail.
I liked it too, the humor was good too. And Oga has a cool voice actor.
The faces that Oga makes, hilarious!
Oi oi! Keep the spoilers low! I've only read the first 2 chapters since I helped scanlating those :(

Description of Research Projects:
My long-term research goals are to characterize the underlying basis of disease resistance in fruit trees and to develop novel control strategies for specific tree-fruit diseases. Fire blight of apple, caused by the bacterial pathogen Erwinia amylovora, is the focus of the research. The aim of the research is to enhance economic opportunities for agricultural producers (ARS Strategic Goal 1) by fostering the development of new fire blight control technologies, thereby reducing the threat of this devastating disease to the U.S. fruit industry and decreasing the industry's cost of production; and to enhance protection and safety of the nation's agriculture and food supply (ARS Strategic Goal 3) by mitigating concerns regarding the commercial use of genetically enhanced fruit crops.
Current research topics include:
Genomic response of apple to fire blight infection:Goal: Use functional genomics to characterize the response of apple to fire blight disease and, thereby, identify new opportunities for improving fire blight resistance.Approach: Global approaches are being used to characterize changes in apple gene expression in response to fire blight challenge. A fire blight-susceptible and -resistant apple cultivar are challenged with the fire blight pathogen, E. amylovora, and the transcriptome (all expressed genes) of the two cultivars is characterized by cDNA-AFLP and cDNA hybridization subtraction. Subtractive cDNA hybridization is also being used to investigate the basis for susceptibility by challenging the susceptible cultivar with an incompatible pathogen, E. amylovora and defined mutants of the pathogen altered in their ability to secrete 'effector' proteins (that are believed to elicit disease development) into host cells. The genes are identified by genomic profiling and there function in fire blight susceptibility or resistance will be studied by reducing or knocking-out expression of the gene, and then observing its effect on phenotype and gene expression. To accomplish this we are developing a high-throughput system for generating RNA interference (RNAi) mutants in apple using ESTs associated with fire blight. The goal of a high-throughput approach is to generate a large number of mutants from an unselected population of candidate genes to allow large-scale reverse genetic analysis of genes associated with a specific trait. Collaborators:Dr. Herb Aldwinckle, Professor of Plant Pathology, Cornell University, Geneva, NYDr. Carole Bassett, Molecular Biologist, USDA-ARS, Kearneysville, WV Dr. Robert Farrell, Assistant Professor of Biology, Penn. State Univ., York, PADr. Timothy McNellis, Assistant Professor of Plant Pathology, Penn. State Univ., University Park, PA Dr. Michael Wisniewski, Research Plant Physiologist, USDA-ARS, Kearneysville, WVDevelopment of new technologies to manage fire blight:Goal: Improve management of fire blight with new control technologies that enhance host resistance.Approach: Although increasing host resistance has been recognized as an important component of fire blight management, its application has been limited by a lack of resistant cultivars suited to commercial needs and by a lack of management practices that could effectively increase resistance. Recent advances have made it feasible to change this paradigm in the 21st century. First, apple rootstock breeding programs have developed dwarfing rootstocks that are resistant to fire blight and are currently becoming available for commercial use (Norelli et al. 2003b). Second, the feasibility of genetically engineering commercial apple cultivars for increased fire blight resistance has been demonstrated and transgenic apple plants are now undergoing field trials (Norelli et al. 2003a). Third, chemical treatments that enhance host resistance have been demonstrated to be useful in the control of fire blight (Norelli and Miller 2004, Norelli et al. 2003a). New technologies to enhance host resistance in fruit crops will continue to be developed as our understanding of host resistance mechanisms is advanced through research.
Fire blight management in the 21st century: using new technologies that enhance host resistance in apple.
Use of prohexadione-calcium in young apple trees to control fire blight.
Resistance of Geneva and other apple rootstocks to fire blight.
Trait modification through genetically enhanced rootstocks:Goals: Mitigate safety concerns regarding the use of transgenic apple varieties by developing technology to use genetically enhanced rootstocks to deliver trait modification to conventional (i.e. not genetically engineered) apple scions.Background: Genetically enhanced, or engineered, plants have the potential to improve crop performance, improve food quality and increase farm profits. However, there are many hurdles to be overcome before genetically enhanced apples can become a reality in the orchard. Among the most important hurdles are consumer concerns regarding the safety of genetically engineered plants and the impact this may have on marketing. There are also significant environmental and commercial concerns regarding the unintended spread of transgenic pollen to wild and homeowner apple plants, to nearby organic blocks or to blocks targeted for export that could result in serious economic losses.The application of rootstock mediate trait modification could overcome many of the hurdles facing genetically enhanced (sometimes referred to as transgenic) fruits. These include eliminating the risk of transgenic pollen spread since pollen would not be produced by the genetically engineered rootstock, improved consumer acceptance since fruit will not be transgenic, and greater ease of commercialization since a single rootstock could be used to enhance the value of many different commercial fruiting varieties.Approach: Genetic enhancement a specific trait in a rootstock will not automatically result in trait modification of the scion; specific biological mechanisms will need to be employed in the rootstock to make the trait modification graft-transmissible. We are investigating the use of gene silencing and the expression of transgenes in the vascular tissue of the rootstock as two possible ways to accomplish graft-transmissible trait modification.Gene silencing in transgenic plants has been demonstrated to be an effective method to develop plants with novel traits. Examples of how this technology is being used in fruit trees include the development of virus and fire blight resistance, fruit with delayed softening, and trees with altered architecture. Because gene-silencing does not involve the introduction of "foreign" genes but rather "switches off" existing genes, it is considered a "soft" transgenic technology. In tobacco, gene silencing has been shown to be graft-transmissible from transgenic rootstock to non-transformed scions. Although the targeted trait in the scion is altered, the transgene is not present in the scion and it is not genetically modified. Graft-transmissible gene silencing has not been adequately investigated in transgenic fruit trees to predict how it will function in apple. However, it has a high likelihood of being a useful mechanism to facilitate rootstock mediated trait modification in apple scions.Although gene silencing promises to be a useful mechanism for trait modification, it can not be used for all types of trait modification. Some trait modifications will require the activity of altered or new proteins in the scion cultivar. In these cases, the rootstock will need to be engineered to deliver the new protein to the conventional scion by means of plant's vascular system. This could be accomplished by expressing the protein in the vascular tissue of the rootstock thus allowing the protein to move from the rootstock to the scion. Although this approach will be technically more difficult, basic research in tobacco and other model systems indicate that it should be possible in apple by targeting expression of the transgene to specific cells in the rootstock.Collaborators:Dr. Carole Bassett, Molecular Biologist, USDA-ARS, Kearneysville, WV Dr. LaiLiang Cheng, Assist. Professor of Horticulture, Cornell Univ., Ithaca, NYDr. Gennaro Fazio, Plant Geneticist, USDA-ARS, Geneva, NYDr. Michael Wisniewski, Plant Physiologist, USDA-ARS, Kearneysville, WVInfection of apple shoots by Erwinia amylovora (fire blight):Goal: Identify the sources of fire blight bacteria that initiate the shoot blight phase of the disease.Background: Although significant progress has been made in the last 20 years in our ability to predict and control the blossom blight phase of fire blight, the shoot blight phase of the disease remains poorly understood and difficult to control. One of the major gaps in our understanding of shoot blight is the origin or source of the bacteria that cause shoot infection. Epiphytic bacteria, that is bacteria multiplying on the plant surface without causing disease, are known to be important in the blossom blight phase of the disease and predicting the build up of these bacteria in blossoms is a critical component to predicting blossom blight infection periods. However, it is not known if E. amylovora can actively multiply on apple shoots.Approach: The initial goal of this study was to determine if E. amylovora could multiply and survive on apple leaves as an epiphyte. We were unable to demonstrate the epiphytic multiplication of E. amylovora on the leaf surface based upon inoculation under controlled environmental conditions, orchard monitoring and microscopic observation. However, we were able to detect foliar populations of E. amylovora under orchard conditions that occurred following rapid temperature changes during summer storms.Recent results suggest that wetting events during high temperatures can lead to the colonization of hydathodes and glandular trichomes and the establishment of E. amylovora within young leaves. Under controlled conditions, E. amylovora did not multiply epiphytically on leaves at constant 24o C. However, when plants were inoculated with cold bacteria (4o C) and incubated at high temperature (35o C), E. amylovora quickly became established within young leaves but rapidly declined on the surface of older leaves. Microscopic observation of an E. amylovora strain labeled with green fluorescent protein (gfp) indicated that under these conditions (cold inoculum, high post-inoculation incubation temperature), bacteria would colonize hydathodes and glandular trichomes of young leaves. Collaborators:Dr. Maria Brandl, Microbiologist, USDA-ARS, Albany, CAThe role of carbohydrates metabolism in fire blight resistance:Goals: Determine if the accumulation of sorbitol in apple tissue inhibits the growth of E. amylovora, and thereby increases the plants resistance to fire blight.Background: Based upon observed sorbitol concentration in apple tissue, osmotic potential and shoot susceptibility to infection by E. amylovora, Suleman and Steiner hypothesized that increases in sorbitol concentration result in increasingly negative solute potentials that have negative effects on the growth of E. amylovora, thus rendering these tissues more resistant (Phytopathology 84:1244-1250. 1994). Approach: A genetic approach is being used to test the Suleman/Steiner hypothesis by down-regulating the genes encoding the rate limiting enzymes for the synthesis of sorbitol and sucrose in apple, NADP-sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (S6PDH) and sucrose phosphate synthase. Apples and other Rosaceous plants accumulate photoassimalates as sucrose, sorbitol and starch. Down regulating S6PDH in apple results in lower sorbitol concentration but has little effect on osmotic potential due to higher sucrose content in these plants. Down regulation of these enzymes will be accomplished by transforming apple with RNAi constructs.In addition, "biosensors" are being developed to quantify both E. amylovora perception of osmotic stress and its utilization of sorbitol in apple tissue during the infection process. To accomplish this, an E. amylovora DNA promoter that responds to osmotic stress is being fused to a reporter gene that can be quantified in apple tissue. Similarly, sorbitol utilization will be quantified using the srlA promoter that has been reported to be induced in E. amylovora by sorbitol under both in vitro and in planta conditions.Collaborators:Dr. LaiLiang Cheng, Assist.

While the Flames shipped out Jarome Iginla and Jay Bouwmeester and replaced them with prospects that Barry Fraser wouldn't draft, the Oilers skate into the Saddledome ready to show Flames fans what six years of sucking can do for you.
The Flames haven't won a playoff series since 2004, the Oilers have won three since then, and in 24 days the Phlegms will be out of the playoffs for the 4th straight year. Make no mistake the last seven years have been brutal for Oilers fans, but at least they have something to show for their loyalty. The Oilers seven-year drought produced Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nail Yakupov, Magnus Paajarvi and Sam Gagner.
The Flames' plunge into suckville has garnered them first rounders like: Mikael Backlund (softer than oleo), Greg Nemisz (4th liner in AHL), Tim Erixon (oops, he wouldn't sign in your dump of a city), _______ (didn't have 1st or 2nd round pick when missing 2010 playoffs), Sven Baertschi (solid potential 2nd liner) and Mark Jankowski (say it slowly, Stanstead College in Quebec).
Rob Schremp and Marc Pouliot had a brighter future.
Most Oilers fans won't poke that much fun at Calgary, okay one might in a few paragraphs, mainly because Edmontonians doesn't possess the inferiority complex that exists in Calgary. Oiler fans won't need to say, "At least we finished higher in the standings than you," which was the rallying cry in Calgary the last three years.
Think about that for a second.
Your team never made the playoffs, in fact they "Choked" every year in the final ten games. For the past three years, the Flames were close to the playoffs with ten games to go, and in those combined 30 games, you won a paltry 12. You averaged 4 wins in the final 10 games of the season in your annual push-to-the-playoffs-only-to-fail-and-not-get-a-top-ten-pick.
The only thing more inept than Steve Tambellini's summer free agent signings, is the Flames management in February and March and the Flames play on the ice in March and April.
Which leads us to tonight...
The Oilers and their fans head into this game knowing they will win, which is exactly how the Flames and their fans have felt the last three years. It won't be much of a battle, considering the Flames most effective forward these days is Brian McGrattan.
The Flames got a better return for Joe Piskula than they have for Jarome Iginla and Jay Bouwmeester. At least McGrattan is on your team and contributing. Top-notch GMing by Feaster and company.
- Hall/Nugent-Hopkins/Eberle
- Paajarvi/Gagner/Hemsky
- Jones/Horcoff/Yakupov
- Brown/Smyth/Petrell
- Smid/Petry
- N.Schultz/J.Schultz
- Whitney/Potter
- Dubnyk
The Flames will counter with a lineup that would battle stage an epic battle with the 2010 Oilers:
GAME DAY PREDICTION: Oilers win their 5th straight with an easy 4-2 win. The Oilers top line has combined for 19 points in the last four games and they will register six tonight.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: Many in Calgary will claim, "Awesome deal, getting something (5th rounder) for Blake Comeau." Get used to saying this Flames fans, as you enter into the phase where you think every draft pick will pan out eventually.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: After he admitted Monday night that he hadn't been, "intellectually honest about his team," Jay Feaster announces during the 2nd period intermission that the Flames will indeed be a playoff contender next year. "Mikka Kiprusoff begged me not to trade him today. He's committed to winning and we will sign him to an extension in the summer.
"Also, now that Jarome Iginla, who secretly always preferred his hometown over Calgary, is gone our core guys will flourish. Want to wager on where we finish relative to Edmonton next year? I'll tell you very honestly. I'm getting a little sour. How many teams . . . every year, for the last 10 years, five years, eight years, have finished in the bottom five, bottom seven, bottom 10? They've had a pick anywhere from No. 1 to No. 10 year after year after year after year, and they still wander in the desert. And they're no closer to getting out than they were 10 years ago. We are still positioned better than the Oilers," screams Feaster.
Good times...
***UPDATE...Turns out the NSOGDB wasn't that far off... An actual quote from Jay Feaster today..."Murray Edwards (Flames majority owner) told me last evening that he expects us to be in the playoffs next year." You can't make this up. Wow, Edwards is delusional if he believes that.
Jeanshorts runs the Oilersnation twitter and when he heard I was writing this GDB he begged me to let him write a quite blurb on behalf of all Oilers fans... so here goes...
Oh, Calgary...
Where do we even begin?
You're like the Springfield Tire Yard of the NHL; You're ugly, can be smelled in 46 states (and 10 provinces) and you're nothing but a humungous pile of burning rubble at this point.
If this is what Jay Fester considers "retooling" then dear god DO NOT let him near your car. It'd be like Pimp My Ride if instead of putting TV's and a new engine in they blew the car up and told you to "never speak of this again!"
Although, it's not like we should really be surprised that Feaster buttfumbled BOTH the Iginla and Bouwmeester trades. We've all seen Spaceballs; it's only a matter of time until he accidentally locks himself in a limousine and eats himself to death.
But hey, it's not all no-name prospects and crying into your cousins breasts in Cowtown. I mean, at least your leading goal scorer isn't former Oiler 4th liner Curtis Glencross.
And it's not like you're relying on a guy who hasn't played an NHL game in 4 years and only has 11 career wins to be your number one goalie next season.
Or that your hot-shot first round pick flamed out (PUN INTENDED) with only one assist in his 10-game stint.
Or that you traded away two of your marquee players and somehow wound up with an even worse prospect pool than you started with, which was already one of the worst in the league.
Actually, basically all that's left is for Murray Edwards to sign Feaster to a five year extension and you'll be set!
You know what, this is typical Calgary. First you steal all our business headquarters and now you have the audacity to steal the title of "Most Comically Inept Run Team In The National Hockey League"? THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!
Unfortunately Calgary looks like they'll be rewarded for this absolute atrocity of a season with a top-three pick. The good thing is that with their recent draft history the nation of Bosnia will be able to celebrate their country's first ever draft pick as the Flames select their top high school player Ahmed Mujo (56GP-0G-0A).
We fully believe in Karma and things coming full circle. Flames fans, and management, have been ripping the Oilers futility hard for the last 4 years. I hope you brought a flashlight, sleeping bag and foamy Calgary, because the basement is dark, damp and it smells like Jerry Sandusky's rec room. Payback's a bitch and this one's going to hurt. A lot.
Tell your hot cousin I said what's up.
"They're ALL my hot cousin!" - Guy from Calgary
Love, Oilersnation

Hall does all the dirty work, and Eberle just cleans up.
April 03 2013, 10:43PM
Rob Kerr should go sell used cars...he's so brutal....
so is Ken Wilson!!!!! EBERLESQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Could see that one coming.
*drink* , *passes out*
The only way the Flames can beat the Oilers tonight is if they switch games, challenge us instead to a "Pie Eating Contest" and bring Feaster down from the manager's box!
April 03 2013, 10:47PM
I wonder if Feaster thinks there is some sort of secret trade deadline only he knows about...
April 03 2013, 10:47PM
Somebody today was wondering if Cervenka should be re-signed this off-season.
I can't see him being too enthusiastic given how he and Hartley have gotten along this year.
Well at least the flamers showed up and got dressed.... Easy points, thanks for helping us make sure your st.louis pick is next year you queers
April 03 2013, 10:47PM
Could see that one coming.
MacDonald didn't.
April 03 2013, 10:48PM
Well at least the flamers showed up and got dressed.... Easy points, thanks for helping us make sure your st.louis pick is next year you queers
Be better than this.
If I were Hartley, I'd pause the game, go to the options menu, change teams, pull the goalie, change back, score and repeat. It always works for me...
April 03 2013, 10:48PM
This might be Yakupov best game this season.
The kid is doing a lot of good things out there tonight.
Man it sure is nice to see* The Oilers actually dominate The Flames in their own barn for once.
So rare, so nice. Good thing I'm at work & missing the game.
*By see I mean read TSN app. scores.

A Gordie for Whitney
April 03 2013, 10:51PM
Sorry, I didn't think you'd be able to hear me over the sound of how awesome Feaster is.
Stay strong, my friend.
April 03 2013, 10:51PM
How stoned is that old dude behind the flames bench. He's still smiling.
Why are the old Flames dudes behind Hartley so happy? Are they watching a video from 2006 on the Junbotron?
April 03 2013, 10:54PM
Did Yakupov just knee a Flame on the way out of the zone?
April 03 2013, 10:56PM
This might be Yakupov best game this season.
The kid is doing a lot of good things out there tonight.
Agreed. He is reading and even establishing the play at a very high level tonight.
Based on our (Oilers' fans) many years of experience seeing 1st overalls adapt to the NHL game, this would seem to be ahead of the curve.
April 03 2013, 10:56PM
Well at least Iginla isn't here to see this, right?
Did Yakupov just knee a Flame on the way out of the zone?
What's so wrong with that? I kneed a Flames fan walking over to the bar during the second period and you don't hear me bragging about it. ;)
April 03 2013, 10:58PM
Feaster is actually quite healthy.
Every night he sleeps in a hyperbolic chamber.
I see what you did there.
7 to 2 !!!!!
April 03 2013, 10:58PM
That was absolutely beautiful.
April 03 2013, 10:58PM
April 03 2013, 10:58PM
Well at least Iginla isn't here to see this, right?
If Iggy was here it'd be 6-2 Flames........ :)

Oh, and Yay-kupov.

Super Comfortable All Day
"I use these shoes for my causal/professional look and they are pretty universal. I can wear them with pants, crops or skirts. They don't hurt my feet after being on them all day, as they have cushion pads built into the sole. The heel is just the right height and they do not run narrow around the toes. I would recommend these for an all day career shoe."

Over the past twelve months, IIE has been visited by education officials from nearly all of the countries undergoing transformation because of the so-called Arab/Asian Spring. Each has asked similar questions about access to U.S. higher education. There is an urgent need to provide education for an entire generation (or two) that has been largely isolated. Questions abound about how to apply to U.S. colleges and universities, how to obtain scholarships, and how to bring their English language skills up to acceptable levels.
Fortunately, in all these countries EducationUSA Advising Centers provide the resources and free advising. Moreover, we will introduce new data on student flows from these countries when the latest Open Doors numbers are released at the National Press Club annual briefing on November 13.
But for every student who is able to come to the United States, there are hundreds who are unable. For these, questions about branch campuses often come up. There is a tremendous need in countries undergoing rapid and uncertain change for everything from English language training and teaching to liberal arts education and courses in public administration. Leaders of these countries are aware of this need, and often look to U.S. higher education for models and best practices.
The branch campus phenomenon is often associated with mature markets or countries where the state is prepared to invest considerable resources in attracting schools and absorbing their risks. And we have been chastened by how difficult initiating and maintaining a branch campus turns out to be. That is why, when reporters ask me about what's happening in this particular area of international education, I reply that branch campuses are not exactly taking the world by storm. There are still only about 200 branch campuses, and most are in places where the students mentioned above do not come from.
But what I find striking is that there is currently a tremendous openness toward American higher education, which seems to transcend both history and ideologies. While this openness toward our higher education system does not necessarily mean that new regimes and systems will want to emulate all that we do or agree on all the regional security issues on Washington's priority list, there is a solid basis for dialogue, cultural and educational relations, and, eventually, mutual understanding.
Branch campus projects are not for the faint of heart, as highlighted by "Education as an Export: The Globalization of U.S. Higher Education and the Emergence of Overseas Branch Campuses," a recent white paper by JP Morgan . We were pleased to work with JP Morgan on this and also on a National Conference Call, which you can read about in a related post by my colleague Daniel Obst. Nearly 200 U.S. college and university officials joined the call. That is an encouraging number, given how rare it is for U.S. institutions to even explore this aspect of globalizing their mission.
Our hope is that some projects will get built in places where they can really make a difference. "Made in America" may one day prove to be something we put on things other than movies and cars that shape what people undergoing today's changes think about us and their future.

Virgin Australia launches Mobile Boarding Passes and New Flight Specials App for iPhone05/07/2012
Sydney, Australia: Virgin Australia today announced two initiatives designed to enhance the guest travel experience; the Virgin Australia Flight Specials app for iPhone and 'mobile boarding passes' across all mainline ports for domestic travel .
Available now from the App Store, the 'Virgin Australia Flight Specials' app for iPhone provides a one-stop spot to view the latest flight specials and happy hour fares for Virgin Australia domestic and international flights. It also enables users to enter in their specific travel criteria and sign-up for real-time alerts so that they are notified when a flight special matches their criteria.
Virgin Australia also today launched mobile boarding passes for domestic flights. Guests with a smartphone can access the Virgin Australia mobile website, which provides guests with the flexibility to book a flight, manage their booking, check flight arrival/departure times and check-in from 24 hours prior to their flight while using their mobile device.
The check-in feature from the Virgin Australia mobile website will send the guest their boarding pass as an SMS to allow for mobile boarding. The mobile boarding pass can then be presented at the departure gate to board the flight, offering a faster and more convenient way to check in and board.
Virgin Australia Group Executive of Brand and Customer Experience Mark Hassell said: "Virgin Australia is investing in mobile technologies in order to provide a more seamless travel experience for guests, along with the ease and convenience of accessing our services from a mobile device.
"Our new app for iPhone links seamlessly to new features on the Virgin Australia mobile website, taking guests through every stage of the travel journey. For guests with carry-on luggage only, this means the ability to skip the check-in counter and board the flight simply by scanning their smartphone at the gate".
Mr Hassell said Virgin Australia will continue to look at new initiatives and services designed to create an even more seamless travel experience for guests.
The 'Virgin Australia Flight Specials' app is free to download and is available now from the App Store on iPhone or at http://virg.co/bestfares or http://www.itunes.com/appstore. Virgin Australia is currently developing an Android version of the app and expects to release it later this year.
1 The Gold Coast will become available in the next few months and Christmas and Cocos Islands are excluded as they are not mainline ports.
* Mobile boarding is not currently available for international travel with Virgin Australia.
* iPhone is a registered trade mark of Apple Inc, registered in the U.S. and other countries. App Store is a service mark of Apple, Inc.

Friday 1 May 2009: This year's NZ Music Month gets off to a flying start this morning at Wellington Airport with an exclusive live gig from a selection of the Fly My Pretties cast and support from Pacific Blue.
Pacific Blue is celebrating its second year as the official airline of NZ Music Month and is also partnering with Fly My Pretties for its tour around New Zealand in May/June.
"Music is a key part of the Virgin Blue and Pacific Blue brands so we're very happy to once again be supporting a cause that celebrates the talent of Kiwi musicians," said General Manager Commercial, Adrian Hamilton-Manns.
As part of its sponsorship Pacific Blue will be playing Kiwi music on board its domestic flights during May and its domestic crew will be wearing NZ Music Month badges.
There will also be giveaways on board some domestic flights of tickets to the NZSO and special NZ Music Month t-shirts.
NZ Music Month spokesman Steve Newall said it was great to have the ongoing support of Pacific Blue.
"We're pleased that Pacific Blue will be promoting Kiwi music on board and getting the word out around the country about NZ Music Month."
Four members of Fly My Pretties, including Black Seeds lead vocalist Barnaby Weir, will be playing a short set this morning between 7:30 – 8:30am next to Mojo Café at Wellington Airport.
This will be the only time Fly My Pretties members will play live outside of the new shows, and so the only opportunity for media to capture them performing before the nationwide tour which kicks off in Christchurch on May 22.
Fly My Pretties is a multimedia musical show, set in a theatre environment, starring some of New Zealand's most interesting and contemporary songwriters and performers.
